@Ok_Impala Your hack was absolutely fantastic. I had a blast with it.
It's worth noting that Zelda II was still extremely popular when it came out - only intervening years after LttP and LA saw Zelda II's star dim significantly. Not because it's not a great game, because it is, but it was significantly different from the rest of the series at that point. I do appreciate that folks have regained some measure of appreciation for it today, though - the "black sheep" status is completely undeserved.
I have a pretty significant game collection, but don't actually own any of the super-rare games that would reach four figures or above. The game worth the most I own would be TMNT: Tournament Fighters for NES, which I have complete. That brings about $400. Still, if I sold all my big-ticket games I have entered on PriceCharting, I'd make $22,000 off of them. A lot of money, yes, but it's worth more to me right now to keep them.
@WaveBoy : While there certainly is a touch of lag in the SNES Classic, it's nowhere near as game-breaking as other solutions outside of the aforementioned FPGA clones or a real CRT. The performance is quite remarkable. In most games, it's imperceptible. Now, the NES Classic performs less admirably, and a game like Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! is nearly impossible once you combine the display lag with the emulation lag, which is worse than the SNES Classic.
