Ordered a few more uncommon SFC RPGs to the collection, all CIB: Akazukin Chacha, Crystal Beans (a port of Dungeon Explorer II, I think. Might as well get it as it looks like we won't be getting the rare TGCD version on VC. I anticpate this one is going to go up in value now that a ROM translation has been finished), Bushi Seiryuuden (some platformer/RPG thing by GameFreak? I guess it was one of their last games before they nearly exclusively focused on Pokemon), Dragon Knight 4 (a strategy game, I know it's based on a hentai RPG but eh, a few bucks), Ranma RPG, Sansaara Naaga (Famicom, I need to know WTF is going on in this game Tried it in an emulator, it seems like as soon as you talk to anyone, the games goes nuts, displaying random text and sound effects. People tell me it's not a bug. ) and its SFC sequel (again, might as well grab it for a couple bucks)

Another Fire Emblem: Thracia 776 cart. Only because my current copy is the Flash-based Memory Cassette version. Deciding I'd order the rare "ROM" version (aka the packaged version, I guess) when I found one that is less crazy expensive.

Thanks to my awesome girlfriend who waited at a garage sale and held these so I could go get some cash from ATM I was able to snag 3 wireless Akklaim NES Controllers and a Gameboy carrying case. All for $6.

Nice, I had that Gameboy case and I totally miss it. Very multipurpose too, not only can you carry the mean green screen around with it's awesome games but you could knock a fool out if one starts to mess.

My last one was a gold copy of "Zelda II", that I traded online for "Super Mario Kart".

God, guns, and guts made America; let's keep all three.

It's probably obscure for good reason, but I ordered a CIB copy of SimCity Jr. for the Super Famicom, as well as Pipe Dream.
Will probably re-buy a physical copy of SimCity proper later.

MM7 is going to cost you an arm and a cheeto.
You're going to need all the Koopa coins you can get....My advice? Give Mr.Trills a halla' and he'll give you a dolla'

i know the prices on games lol, i keep up with them everyday. while on that subject, bubble bobble 2 is not going for as much as little samson. samson has been above bb2 for a long time. unless you were checking the pal version. i check a list of games everyday, the cheapest ive ever got a game for is $5.94, the most is another story

@LittleWaveson
i got mine for $135 around 3 years ago i think
i noticed it shot up to $150 shortly after i got it, thats when i started paying more attention to game prices and buying copies of some games. its funny how all these retro game price sites are all outdated in prices, yet at the same time it goes to show just how much prices have spiked...
you could always get the pal version instead if you just want to play it, its much cheaper, or better yet the famicom version, lickle, is around 90$
let me get nerdy here for a second:

@Wagaboy: Nice to see you finally got that MM6 (Generic stock eBay photo ftw!). I still haven't got around to finishing 4 so I have got a way to go still. I recently finished Mega Man X2 but I think it is safe to say I most surely prefer the NES originals. Someday I will fork over the Mega bolts to get them though. But seriously though, the price of NES and SNES games are ever increasing, it's getting all wild & crazy kids out there!

I agree with you totally, someone should have made a flippin' He-Man and She-Ra NES game! If I could change one thing about the world that might be it. Yeah, MetalStorm is most certainly rad. If you ever find a price that you find acceptable, I recommend getting it.

Oh, and can I borrow your Full House season 1 DVD after you have watched it 100 times to watch with LIttle Ryno?
I have never played it, but I knew I had to get Sklyblazer the more that I looked into it

But a Pal copy wouldn't work on an NA NES, or would it? Plus I've heard Pal copies run at 50hz, or maybe I'm wrong unless that's just soley for the PAL Wii NES emulations. As for the Japanese cart, I'd also have to buy myself a Famicom and to be honest I probably wouldn't even use it outside of Little Samson & Bubble Bobble 2.

A PAL cart should work in a top-loader. Though you of course could have minor graphics glitches or wrong speed music if the PAL version was re-timed over the NTSC version.
While I'm not as sure what a Famicom Bubble Bobble 2 goes for compared to the NES, I'm sure it's not cheap, either. (the genuine cart, of course I'm sure there's lots of bootlegs with it being a popular and expensive game)
I remember looking for a Famicom Jetsons for the cool rounded (almost N64-like) cart shape, and found the game to be even more elusive than the NES version. So I ended up getting a NES cart when the game was still pretty easy to find and was only selling at like $20. Now that game's value has blown up too.
I remember getting a Famicom Lickle a few years back for $30, and Naughty Kokkun's Gourmet World (Panic Restaurant) for about $25, when the NES carts were going for about $100 each.

@Waveboy
i dont notice any difference running pal games on my top loader, though they say some games do slowdown.
guess i dont have all these problems other people have lol. ive seen a list online that shows pal games that run correctly on top loaders. i dont have the pal version of little samson, but from what i know, that version runs fine. of course do some research to satisfy your curiosity
