Retro console and games thread

Quite chuffed about this one, got very lucky at the weekend, was actually not planning on buying anymore Snes games for a while, but this popped up and I knew if I didn't grab it then it would be gone within minutes, was paranoid during the loading screen that I would have been beaten to it.

It is absolutely immaculate not a mark on the box other than that sticker, which if anyone has advice on ways of removing that without damaging the box let me know, however the most important part is it cost me £35 + £2.50 postage, and the guy packed it ridiculously well for the £2.50 charge, considering I have a copy bookmarked which is sitting on £91 so far I am guessing its a good deal :)

Only problem is I don't have a converter cart yet, was going to either get one of those or spare snes top and then widen its cart slot, have until I finish Super Metroid to get this sorted.

Awesome :) What you have there is the BEST snes game and the best thing Squaresoft ever did! Super jealous.
 
just a heads up peeps, for cheap second hand retro games check out zoverstocks

just picked up SNK Vs Capcom 2 for 1p + £2.03 postage!
 
I won't know for a bit yet, as I think the original stuff is stored away properly at my folks. However if you want to pop over for a base unit on it's own (no cables) it's yours if you want :) I've managed to get both of them turned on and tested Street fighter 2 in both

Yeah that would be great.
 
Just read through this thread and its got me seeing ££'s in my eyes lol. Does the zelda snes game really sell for upwards of £30 unboxed?? I've got that along with several others plus console. Also a mega drive with loads of games all boxed, just sitting in the attic doing nothing. Hmmmmm I'm going to need to look them out, could be on to an earner :-)
 
Collecting for the snes is looking like its going to be a lot more expensive then for the master system and playstation 1 etc as you can only seem to get them from ebay never see them in the "wild" :mad:
 
Mine is my works email which I can't get to at the minute, can you resend it to my personal email by any chance? [email protected], also whens the best time to pick it up, I'm free anytime from now till next Friday, and how much do you want for it?

Will do, If you can come for around 5 that'd be good as I'll need to pop to the metro quickly to get a birthday gift.

As it's just the box, and it's been yellowed some, you can have it for nothing

Edit: address sent

I think they sell on play aswell
 
Trawled a few charity shops today. Not a bean :( Saw some PS1/2 games but nothing older/more interesting. Went into a indi games shop with a view to get a PSP 1000 (had a launch one, sold it a couple of years ago) - £75 used/unboxed! Ha! Bought a minter from a gumtree user for £40 with Outrun, Soul Calibur and Tekken about half an hour later
 
Cheers for posting that M8, I have been looking for that game the last few days, so for that price cant really go wrong :)

More than welcome bud. I was in same boat

Think I nearly have all the snk / capcom beat em ups for xbox now :) svc chaos coming next week I hope as well

Completed the DOA collection with xtreme volleyball today.....happy days.
