Topic: Your latest retro purchase

Picked up Twisted Metal 2 for the PS1, going to have a ton of fun with it.

@ogo79
Yeah, photo bucket works so well.
Also, I'm too lazy to title my pics let alone post it again.

They were actually Castlvania Legacy of Darkness CIB and Chef's Luv Shack CIB both for N64.

Also just bought NBA Live 99, Kobe Bryant's NBA Courtside and NBA Pro 98 all CIB for N64.
Already have Pro so I'll resell it and get half my money back as I got them for a steal.

I bought a copy of Spyro Orange (GBA) on ebay.

I used to have it, and it wasn't exactly good... But I kinda... Missed it. So there.

Next up I plan to buy Harvest Moon Friends of Mineral Town, another game that got lost in the same bag. But I'll wait until this one gets here first.

found 3 games at my local thrift store. its hard to find games these days out in the wild.
1-my uncles free candy bus-dreamcast
2-convince the collage girl-saturn
3-tupperware terror-snes

I have a local retro store now! (all the ones in my old town got pushed out by gamestop) Just picked up Drakenguard, bushido blade, Xena, SF EX3, and batman vengeance.

I know that, haven't looked in a long time since it seems like all you find anymore are insanely priced good games, and/or the sports and licensed shovelware nobody wants.

@KingMike
i got lucky

I got Duck Hunt, Hogan's Alley, and NES Zapper

aaawww yeah.
one day im gonna get 18 part time jobz so i can get all the rare gamez.
den
im gonna research websites that are so obscure that most people never checked out before
and come back here and pretend i knew about these gamez all along.
so it makes me look like i know my stuff.
im 17 years old.
after i feel im successful enough im gonna make a youtube channel and school everyone on gamez.
does anyone have mario 3 for nes cuz i cant find that game anywhere.
why does my switch have scratched skreen all over it?
im gonna get those rare gamez dawg.
i need that status.

Not so much a purchase but more like a gift. I went to see my local retro game guy and he has been toying with the idea of doing repro carts. Don't worry he's not trying to pass them off as real carts. His have different artwork and a person who knows games will be able to tell that they are a repro. Long story short hes beginning to feel the collectors crunch so to speak, people come to him looking for the games to play but dont want to pay the high prices collectors and flippers are asking for for certain games if that makes sense. So repro carts give people a chance to play these games for a cheaper cost. Anyway he decide to let me be his guinea pig and decide to give me a free copy of his Castlevania Bloodlines Repro for Genny to test out

So far it looks good especially with the case and all, tonight though will be the really test when I try it on my Genesis.

Anyway probably no retro purchases for me for awhile. Unless @the_shpydar knows of any good retro game stores in NYC for my trip there in a few weeks.

@Tasuki
how much for the toe nail right below the cart?
i have paypal

@Tasuki
The only store i know (that i've been to) in Manhattan is Video Games NY which is in/near Greenwich Village. It's ... Well, i don't like it. If you're looking for very high-end/rare stuff, it's pretty good (and they have a cool display-case section with some ultra-rare kinda things, prototypes, etc). But for middle/cheap stuff, i wouldn't really recommend — they'll probably have whatever you're looking for, but prices for most stuff is seriously inflated/overpriced. Probably worth a trip, but save your money unless there's something specific that you can't find anywhere else.

@the_shpydar Ouch sounds like what happened to my local retro game store when a new owner bought it. Might have a look there if I am in the neighborhood when I am there the 18th - 24th.

Got about $500 worth of games in Japan, and I don't regret it at all.
Everything I got:
Starfy 2/3
Dragon Quest Slime
Shining Force EXA
Paper Mario
Wonder Project J2
Tear Ring Saga/Berwick Saga
Tales of Rebirth (only cost me $1)/Destiny
Langrisser 3
The third Torneko Mystery Dungeon game
Valkyrie Profile
Dragon Quest 7
Tomodachi Collection
Mario Kart 8/Disgaea 5/ Dragon Quest Heroes 1+2
Mother 1+2
Shin Megami Tensei 1/2/if
Fire Emblem Thracia 776/ The Binding Blade (both complete copies, only ones they had)
and last, but FAR from least.
A japanese Sega Saturn with Shining the Holy Ark and SHINING FORCE 3 with Scenario 1/3, AND THE PREMIUM DISC!
I regret nothing.

Since the SNES mini won't come with it, I bought Tetris Attack to play on my actual SNES.

Hopefully it won't take three months to get here, as most things I buy from ebay do.

wow yeah that is ridiculous. ive had a couple things in my lifetime take way too long to arrive.
its sad when games from japan arrive faster than ones from 5 or so states away from you does. its like whats the hold up?
if thats what they do for a living youd better hit that post office.

In my experience, everything is nice and quick until it enters Mexico . Then it's like the carrier is playing pacman around the country.

Then again, the last three things I bough off ebay came from Europe and Asia. This one is supposedly from USA, so who knows right...? Maybe it will be just one month.

@Meowpheel
man lol
when i order stuff from europe it takes foe-eva
i mean like at least 2 months.
royal air mail lol.
it took like 37 years for my nintendo life shirt to get here.
i could have grown a size bigger or smaller by the time it arrived

Oh man I'm still waiting for my Toki Tori tshirt! Haha.

(guess I'm glad I didn't win the sealed game because losing that in transit would've been tragic)

@Meowpheel
...wow
