Spotted a few Aus goons, just wanted to offer my opinion. Don't deal with Retro games Australia. I dealt with the guy when his store was in Gladesville nsw. You have to put down $50 before he will do business with you if the item is not in store, he will not allow you to view the physical item before you buy it. You can see where this is going, I am an idiot for trusting him. I bought a couple of items that he marked and charged as "excellent." One of them in particular was the worst condition box I have ever seen. Ripped, drawn all over, faded. Manuals were the same. I'd take a photo if my collection wasn't at my dad's house. It's a shame, his store was quite good and his site seems to have some great stuff on his site.

If you think I was going to pay $300 for a big box Terranigma, you crazy. Also my German friend found me a big box Super Metroid; so, ironically enough (not sure if I am using the term correctly) the only big box SNES game I do not own is the only US big box game there is...Earthbound! Also: obtained the NES RGB PPUs before the huge NES RGB PPU craze of Q4 2012; got Demon's Crest and Lufia for $1 at a yard sale, and got my Gamecube component cables from someone who was selling an entire Gamecube lot for $45, and I was just lucky it was included in it. The favors I've done to get some of this stuff though, I don't want to discuss, because, well, it could come back and haunt me if I ever want to run for office

I saw this earlier today on Reddit and found it to be pretty cool. Apparently the guy scraped a database of 24,000 games since 1975 to determine genre and console. Its pretty cool seeing how console popularity has changed over time.

I wish NEO-GEO was broken out as a separate platform in there instead of just included in Arcade.

When the rental stores near me as a kid started closing shop and liquidating their stock, I don't think I ever saw any Squaresoft RPGs or any games still considered high-profile to this day in their sale bins. I'm betting the owners nabbed them up for themselves without telling anyone.

I didn't start playing or writing music until a year or two after I lost my first SNES and all its games and I guess I was too young to try being creative or something. I do remember I made a lot of cute pictures though.

Code Jockey posted:Niiiiice. Jealous! How much did it set you back? I forget if you mentioned. Well, I honestly could have gotten one for less if I'd been willing to keep an eye out, but I couldn't pass this up since it was basically brand new in the box with everything. The MIDI cable is even still sealed. But, to actually answer your question, it was right around $120, which is what most people seem to be selling them for without all the extras. So, even though I could have paid less, I'm still OK with the price. ACID POLICE posted:Make some good recordings of it, if you have hardware to do so! I've been wanting one just to mess with a MT-32 compatible tracker even though it's, at heart, a watered down Roland D-50 Unfortunately, I don't really have anything other than the crappy analog in lines on my computers. They're good enough for playing games with, but recording them is kinda iffy. I did record the opening to KQ4, though, which turned out pretty well for what I have available at the moment (that being my laptop and Windows Sound Recorder, which apparently only writes out WMA files now).

Since we're posting images of our boxes (sounds kind of dirty): Probably my most prized-game and it came in a box! The kicker? I paid $0.  It's virtually complete too.  F-Zero is my best-condition game and I imagine it's from that set that someone stumbled across as there is no way that someone owned this copy before me. However, my copy of Super Bomberman 2 is not in such a great box, but...  It still has its plastic wrapping and still has its manual and pamphlets.

I know I'm not the only person here who bought a sealed copy of f-Zero recently. Apparently, the players choice version is one of the most common sealed games out there. I already owned the game, but still picked up a copy for tenbux just for that new-old game smell. Plus, F-Zero kicks rear end.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UOd0CEuB-dM This is really appropriate considering who posted above me, but I had no idea that Space Harrier was ported to so many different consoles. I imagine the Famicom version came out before the Sega Master System and the GBA version came out after the Dreamcast (or did Sega do handheld games on other company's systems before leaving the hardware business altogether). All of the ports are pretty impressive considering what they were ported too, but my favorite part in the SMS and Game Gear versions (which should be the same thing, right?) is that the enemies look like flying jpeg images when they fly over the ground.

Between that and the no-show policy, is he trying to be Wirt from Diablo 1?  Anyway, at least in regards to marking an item as excellent condition and then giving you a shitheap, isn't there somewhere in which you could register a complaint about this? Or at least some place to leave terrible feedback. I've been scammed by scumbag pawn shop staff before, and generally there's almost always somewhere you can go to do something to get at the very least some peace of mind in not having done nothing.

That's kind of cheating because they come with accessories, and don't really have a non-big box equivalent. But why am I kidding; I need a nice shelf of all SNES big boxes, don't I? Man OCD is a hell of a disorder.

There are two boxes that exist:   The second one may be larger than normal, but the first is the one that comes with the guide and is Big Box sized. (now collect them all!)

Yeah, the $50 is the minimum you have to spend. I don't know if he still has this policy, i think i bought it in 2009-2010. In hindsight, if i could travel back in time and punch my stupider,then naive self in the face just before giving him my money i would do that. I'll probably google him and post some reviews around the web. Not sure why i didn't at the time, though i would take a guess and say that was around the time i was extremely sick/ill. Googling it seems to show that i am not the only person with poor feedback. http://palgn.com.au/viewtopic.php?t=58081 http://palgn.com.au/viewtopic.php?t=30848&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0

I'm thankful for hanging out in this thread with all you peeps. Serious retro post. Happy Thanksgiving to all you US folks. For the benefit of non-Americans, thanksgiving is when you had to go over to a relative's house and play mirror universe games you only played once a year. Like how I would go play up to level 3 on Zelda because I never had enough time or skill to play further. Next year, I'd start again because my file would be deleted probably the next day. Post your weird Thanksgiving retro games memories ITT while you are waiting for your secret Santa stuff to show up.

All my brothers and cousins playing NES while my parents and aunts and uncles were yelling at us because they were eating without us. Also brought Final Fantasy 6 to my aunt's house because I just got it in 1994 and there was no way I was going to be kept from it. I spent the entire day trying to figure out how to get the cider to the Cider Guy in South Figaro for 12 hours without realizing that doesn't happen until the scenarios later in the game. Still worth it

Speaking of Little Samson, it was one of the first NES games I completed start to finish. I remember a Thanksgiving (or other fall holiday) playing it from start to finish in front of a crowd of cousins who looked at the TV in awe of the fast paced action. I have a confession: I have never beaten any NES Mario game. I beat all the Mario games on All-Stars, even Lost Levels, but I just can't power through the original games in one sitting without skipping levels. I am thankful for battery backups.
