I totally agree. Treasure really were masters of hardware exploitation. GSH is easily one of the best looking GBA games out there. The effects are dazzling.

Just got a few games in the mail today from Japan. For $70 NZD including shipping I got Chrono Trigger, Yoshi's Island, Super Donkey Kong, and Super Donkey Kong 3 (all complete in box). Pretty happy with that haul, now just have to keep my eyes peeled for Super Donkey Kong 2. Is it just me or does that one seem a lot more scarce than 1 and 3?

Some day...
And of course that is a re-seller (no doubt) that snatched them up

I wish it worked both ways and that could be the new price now. I want to point at it like people point at shitty high BINs and declare this the new price for completely arbitrary reasons.
Of course! You have to protect your investment! I'mma retire off these carts.

Woah those went really cheap, it cost more for the shipping than the actual game.

So what happened here? Someone just jumped on BIN prices?

this was my takeaway too, yup
Yeah I've been looking at them recently and 1&3 come up quite a bit more than 2. I managed to get a good copy from a seller in Spain this morning though.
My RGB cable for my Super Famicom arrived today, it looks great

Ah yeh I saw that one, kinda pricey though (double what I paid for 1 & 3) and missing the control insert.
Cold-blooded...
Go with the tired old list everyone trots out when they say the SNES is their favorite console and move on to Super Mario RPG. I'll also back Secret of Mana and Terranigma.
Lufia is also a good choice.
Yeah I saw another copy with that insert for a little bit more, but I can't start being picky about stiff like that
Haven't seen any copies of the third for as cheap as yours yet
Ogre Battle

I'm too OCD lol.
Yeh I got it for 10% off in addition to it being a good deal to begin with. I'll keep an eye out for you and PM if I find anything good.
Cool thanks!
Breath of Fire 2! The translation is kind of balls, but it's pretty good. Though, you should play FFII (FFIV) first if you haven't.

Terranigma by far and away. Game is simply awesome . . .
Should I play Soul Blazer/Illusion of Gaia first?

No, they're not sequels. They just share similar themes.

Though you should still play them, as they are good, just not Terranigma good.

I agree with the above. I only played it for the first time last year and I was blown away. Third best rpg behind CT and ALTTP.

Last week i found a guy on facebook that has a toy story in a town away from my city. This guy has a deposit full of old games; snes, megadrive, 32x, 3do, everything.
I drove for like 2 hours on tuesday to get there and the loot was worth it. And at a right price.
And already reserved Zelda LTTP and ShadowRun. I Couldn't believe my eyes when i entered this guy's house. Old games everywhere. I promise pictures the next time.

Hooray, got in my lot of "nonfunctioning" copies of Earth Defense Force, Tiny Toons, and Ken Griffey Jr. Baseball, all with manuals, and in pretty good shape. Cost $8.25.
About 4 minutes worth of pin scrubbing and all three worked in one try. TT and KGF are duplicates so I should be able to come out of this for a dollar or less.
It's the small victories

The first one is decently hard too. I had a lot of trouble with the final boss(es) and was very satisfied when I finally beat it lol.

Don't play PAL games. Super CIC mod is a waste of money.
I'm from Spain :_( I've have never played an NTSC game, or a SNES game at 60hz and fullscreen, that's why it looked interesting.

Haha brutal, but true. Stuff like that is more academic, for tinkerers trying to make 'the ultimate machine', it's far easier and cheaper to simply have two console ultimately.
Just grab a cheap Super Fami and a game or two to start with then. You'll get in the 60Hz game for under $50 delivered.
Alternatively, if you have a bunch of PAL games already, get a simple 60Hz modded PAL SNES. It's a very simple mod almost anyone could do, and you could run most of your current library at 60Hz.
Well apparently it did come with the insert after all
When it arrived yesterday I took the tray, cart and manual out of the box and that's all there was, but I just picked the box up and that slid out the bottom. I guess it was wedged on the inside somewhere or something. I'm a tad confused by it lol.
Haha, what luck! How bizarre!

My SFC Hagane was ¥450 JPY. I didn't know it jumped in value as well.
Makes sense I guess when your only alternative is $300+
If any of you are curious, the cats behind Hagane made an interesting mech shooter on Saturn a few years afterward called Bulk Slash.

Yeah, Hagane SFC commands silly prices on ScumBay now.
NTSC/U and PAL can be found for like four digit dumbness.

Absolutely crazy. Still is weird I've bought it about 3 times for $20 a pop.

My dealer friend was telling me that 4 years ago he was selling them $50 new and then they suddenly disappeared and now the prices are what they are.
