I paid like 150 US dollars for Vortex when it came out. Still worth it just for the SuperFX
(not really worth it, the game is confusing as hell)

Is the Power Rangers movie game actually any good?

I don't know about that but I seem to remember PR:The Game being somewhat decent brawler

Fucking fantastic. Will shoot a video when it gets here this week.
My one week haul thanks to this thread:
SNES (UC2 serial)
SNES (UC3 - one chip)
Super Mario World
Yoshi's Island
Donkey Kong Country
Donkey Kong Country 2
F-Zero (x2 - have one sealed CIB)
Super Castlevania IV
Lufia
Illusion of Gaia
Under $200 total. Everything is in excellent condition, no yellow systems. Paid $30 for the first SNES at a flea market and grabbed the second for $40 at a Game Xchange when I noticed it was the one-chip model. SCIV I snagged for $25 shipped from eBay. Came close to biting on a $35 copy of Breath of Fire II yesterday, but at some point I need to stop.

I'll exchange them for all 3 Japanese DKC games if you like (I have duplicates)

Sparkster if you want something fast and inventive. Super Adventure Island if you want something that's a little more traditional.
Oh thank's, i completely forgot about Sparkster and Adventure Island .
Must be getting old

sparkster can get pricey if you are going for CIB

The pick up post is going to be dominated with SNES stuff the next few weeks...

This is another one that is way cheaper for the SFC version. I got a copy for 500yen last year. Worth looking for that version if you have a SFC or want to mod the cart.

Nutty. Makes me want to hit my local shops, like, now. I'd never be so fortunate, though...

Bought Mega Man X3 and one of the Castlevania IVs posted here off eBay yesterday. I still need a bunch of expensive games to finish off my collection, but I'm glad I got X3 out of the way.

Reminds me of this time I went to a retro shop planning to pick up a few NES/SNES games.
...I ended up walking out with a bunch of Sega games instead. Oops.

Yeah I saw a bunch of those. closest one I saw from me (Roswell of GA) was like a 2+ hour drive... If it was a 1 hour drive, I maybe wouldn't mind so much. Maybe one of these weekends I'll take the risk and drive to one of those flea markets.

If you use Goo Gone, be careful because it can remove ink from those covers. Don't let it sink into the ink.
Yea but I'm thinking if I just dab a paper towel in it, it will be better than just tearing them off. Maybe get it humid first? Lol

Putting price stickers on the labels? Really? SMH.
Putting it on the bottom of the cartridge seems like a no-brainer and makes sense.

Ridiculous. Super Off Road has it in the perfect spot.

I wouldn't worry about stickers on the glossy front label. Unless its some particularly evil adhesive, it will come off with patience.
Stickers on the back "precautions" label? Something might come off if you're not very careful. But at the worst case, you could swap the back half of the cart with another...... (if you care about such things

Dang these prices are crazy.
I have a decent amount of snes games
ALL DKCs
Super Mario RPG
Super Punch Out
Turtles in Time
Super Metroid
Secret of Mana
Harvest Moon
Zeldas
Marios
Mega Mans (except X3)
F Zero Sealed
Like 15-30 other ones for sure.
I never throw away any of the boxes or manuals of course.
I remember it was a long running joke because a sealed copy of Earthbound sat at our local Hills Department stores for at least 2-3 years. Now I am the joke for not buying it.

inner-G - heating up stickers with a hair dryer can be effective as well. It heats up the glue making it softer so you can peel it off more easily.
Ugh. Why does this have to come up when searching for SNES games?

I'm going on a road trip today and so far already spent $65 on 8 SNES games.
Went by the pawn shop when I got back to town, the SNES section was all commons and sports.
Then I saw a paper sign way up on the wall that said: All original Xbox and PS2 games $1
Sooo I bought all these for $15 total:
Is been an epic pickup day!!
Also the label peeled off easily from Super Mario RPG!

Pawn shops are awesome. Found treasures all the time!
Disaster strikes!
My sealed copy of A Link to the Past was to arrive today, and the package was there when I picked it up.. but when I opened the package, it was a copy of {*drumroll*}: Uncharted 3!
First time I've ever owned a PlayStation or Xbox game. There goes that odd little record, right out the window.
Waiting for the seller to respond. I hope this doesn't turn into a big headache. :/
