I wish I could get Earthbound again for an alright price. D: Last time I bought it I only paid $70 and it looks like it's blown up way past that.

the only kinda expensive great one is rock n roll racing the rest are all really cheap stuff like top gear and f-zero and super off road
That has been the normal price for over a year now. When I bought mine in 2011, CIB price was between $400-500. I sold it that winter for $700 (it was mint). Around $500 is the going rate for a CIB without major damage.

Just bought Top Racers. Are there some less well-known games you would recommend?
I remember this being 80-90. Back then I thought "Nah, that's too expensive"....

just not much to choose from with the racing genre for the snes genesis has the upper hand in that one
Thinking back I only really remember those racing games that were already mentioned (well, and Mario Kart, of course). The only other one I can think of is Full Throttle and that was crap.
Which is kinda strange, I remember playing a lot of racing games back then, maybe they were all on the C64.

SNES does have Mode 7 racers, though, which is one-up on most Genesis racers, which opt for a more Outrun-styled form. I never really felt like I was ever making turns in those games; just going forward perpetually on a road that curved in random directions. Mode 7 racers might have the limitation of taking place on really flat surfaces, but at least with those, I feel like I'm on a circuit instead of an infinitely straight road.
Of course, my opinion is that racers like that didn't really hit their stride until true 3D kicked in, with things like Virtua Racer, Daytona USA, Ridge Racer etc... Mode 7's the next best thing, I guess.

That sucks but at least you can email them back and tell them what's up.
I haven't played one of the Lufia games in almost 10 years...should try Lufia 2 again. Beat it but I don't have one single memory from it...=/

Eh, they're about the same. Turtles keeps trending up in price though.
It was $45. I've already got it complete but was just getting it for trade fodder. Was hoping it might have the map too since I still need that.

I don't normally go to the thrift stores two days in a row, but I'm glad I did this morning because I found a Super Game Boy at my goodwill. I've been looking for one for a while, even though they're not super expensive on ebay, I knew if I waited long enough I'd find one for cheap. This one was $5, I also got a filler title for $3. I really doubt it's good but whatever. Picked up a couple cool complete PS2 game for $4 each as well.

Glad this thread is around, I have a question. I'm about to move my SNES CiB collection (at least the ones I've completed) into plastic tub storage.
Does anyone know I should worry about putting a silica gel pack or two into each tub for moisture reasons or is that not an issue.

Just got my order today from http://videogameprotectors.com/
These things are fantastic. Protects the label, keeps dust off, and you can still stack them, which you can't do with just the dust covers.
Got a couple for my boxes too. Unfortunately they are out of stock on super famicom box protectors at the moment. I'd definitely recommend these.

Wow, those cart protectors do look awesome!
It's hard to tell but does it fully cover the cart or is it open on the bottom?

Oh wow, that sucks man. You should let them know.
Managed to get to level 3. I'm going to stick with it. I want to see if I can still manage to play these old school games.
It's complete 360 degree protection. They come flat, and you have to shape the box and close the tabs at the top and bottom. It's not hard plastic, but it's sturdy enough.

is this one actually cheap? i was gonna recommend Super Off Road (loved it on Genesis) but it looks like Rygar had that one covered
Do these hold SFC games?It's complete 360 degree protection. They come flat, and you have to shape the box and close the tabs at the top and bottom. It's not hard plastic, but it's sturdy enough.
SFC games will fit, but SNES games are wider, so an SFC game will be loose and move left and right. The height and thickness are the same though. Unfortunately it doesn't look like that site stocks loose SFC containers. Not sure if they're available from other places.

Looks like those could hold Genesis games, too, if you don't mind them rocking around like mad (because Genny carts are much smaller).

I found a hobby store near me that stocks Nintendo games. He had SNES, N64 and game boy stuff. He said he was a "licensed Nintendo dealer" I don't know if that's true or just some bullshit, but he had some cool stuff. His prices were all over the place though. He had DKC3 which I've been looking for, but wanted $70(!) for it. I only ended up buying two games, but he said he gets new stock frequently so I'll probably check in every so often.
Ended up getting these two for $20. He also has a copy of Act Raiser 2 for $15 I might get. I saw a copy of Super Mario RPG for $70. It's in perfect shape, is that worth it?

That's an awesome deal, I see it go on ebay for ~$50 pretty often.
