Wavealinksky: You should just Blaze and Bomberman your way through the sim stages like you were Bill "Mad Dog" Rizer in Contra. The reviews say the game is pretty easy and short overall. As for Actraiser 2, I have never played it though RetroLuma91 has a nice review on his StarBlog that makes it sound actually really good. Enix turned the original Master into He-Man Master of the Universe!
@RevolverLink: Hmmm... I don't remember the boss gauntlet but it has been way to long since I have played it. Most reviews say that the only downside of this game is how easy it is! Did you try looking online for some help?
Actraiser 2 is okay if you can get the control scheme. Unfortunately, that is a feat of super human ability. I'm not sure how Luma did it, but I've seen several reviews, streams, and let's plays of it, and no one can get past level 2. Also, whoever's telling you Actraiser 1 is too easy is a G-ddamn liar. That game is rock-hard, especially at the end.
Anyways, just won Gotcha Force on eBay for $27 total. Nearly twice as much as I was hoping to pay, but whatever, that's the last expensive game I need, especially since I hear Twin Snakes is awful.
I thought Gotcha Force was one of those super-expensive games.
Or maybe it was just the Japanese version? (I recall some news post a few months ago saying Capcom had, very surprisingly, recently reprinted the game in Japan.)

Mac, it sounds like you didn't care to much about your townspeople and they didn't believe in you all that much.
Anyway, this dude must be a major liar than! "This is the game's only major flaw. It is ridiculously easy to complete!"
Syvalion for the Super Famicom. Probably going to be waiting awhile to get it but at $16 shipped CIB, probably worth it.
Always thought it was a neat idea, but perhaps a bit frustrating.
Though about grabbing a few more common RPGs with it, but decided I've maybe been spending too much money on games lately.
Perhaps the value on ebay is a bit inflated due to the PAL version's scarcity (supposedly that is one of the rarer games?) and the NTSC version's failed attempt to exist.
Just bought 3 games! I got Metroid: Zero Mission for $8.99, Drill Dozer for $4.99, and (This is is the best part!) Castlevania for the NES for... FREE!! Yeah!
Play N trade near my house has a buy 2 get 1 free deal and I took advantage of it to finally snag me a copy of that classic Castlevania. The thing is, there's a tiny piece of the front label that is scratched off, so I definitely would not have payed for it. I'm so glad I was able to get it for free. I'd much rather have a cleaner, not scratched copy of the game, but hey! It's free and now I can finally play it so oh well.
Really stoked to finally get some more Metroid goodness. One bite of Fusion and I instantly wanted more. Can't wait to play the definitive version of the original Metroid. That's right. A retro nut like me just said he prefers the remake to the original. This is probably the only time I will though. The map is just such a blessing. The original is still fun though.
Can't wait to play Drill Dozer either. Game Freak finally makes something other than Pokemon on the GBA. Plus Nintendo power said it was great. All these games for only $16.89. Yay.
I have a 80's nintendo super brite M36r neo-neon. Whats its current value? I've owned for 15 years
whats its condition?

As @ogo79 said, the SNS-RZ-USA is a prime giveaway that it's not a legit retail cart.
And yes, he is (usually) always right, and he is (almost) the sexiest gamer out there (not counting me) ;)
Gauntlet IV for Genesis CIB for $13 shipped.
I thought this game was somewhat in demand. Then again, a new copy recently sold on ebay for only pennies more. Hope it wasn't to the person selling it for $153 on amazon.
Recently i got "Mega man 2" on a flea market (With box, albeit a tattered one ) and 3 cart-only SNES games at the local thrift-store ("Killer instinct" "Tintin in Tibet" and "Prehistorik man", IIRC), don't remember which of them is most recent though
Now you see, evil will always triumph, because good is dumb! >:D
