Cool video. Though, when it comes to me buying old games from a game store, I generally would resort to The Exchange and another local retro game store in my hometown called "People Play Games". Amazon & Ebay would be cool, but half the time, the shipping can cost you a premium depending on what games you get.
In that time period puzzle games were highly popular , also Zopp (with an unbelievebly high mamufacturing rate) was, today nobody seems to be interested in Zoop anymore, noch wonder why this game is seen so often.
It saddens me that you don't live next to a disc replay, they often just price there games based on ebay, it is a great place to shop for those old games.
It looks to me like eBay is great if you live in the US. For the rest of the world it's probably still worth going to game stores. Many PAL titles for instance, even really common ones that sell for just a few dollars in the states, will fetch ridiculous prices. 4-5x more than their NTSC counterparts :(
You know what, you're right, at least from what limited perspective I have on it here in the states. I've only occasionally found PAL snes games in stores, and they are generally cheaper in store, even here, than on ebay.
Craigslist is a good source for buying games though not on average, you can find some really good buys. I found zombies ate my neighbors, yoshi's island, goof troop and several other games for $2 each, which is a good buy since most of those games on ebay are around $10 to $15
Craigslist can be amazing, though it obviously varies based on where you are. Someone around here had a 64 with 30 games that would probably sell individually for a combined total of about $150-175, 4 controllers and some memory cards for $50.
They never responded, and I haven't caught a deal like that since. Definitely worth checking often.
right now they have games like the original Final Fantasy and super mario rpg for about 20 - 30 bucks and have stacks of obscure games for about 5 bucks a piece
It did not. I assume because the spiders and plants were dead.
... I'm sorry.
I haven't been able to determine the actual problem, but the disc motor seemed to no longer work, as well as the laser. Saturns are kind of fragile, and for all I know it was dropped one too many times in shipment. Had it worked, I would have been solidly impressed with the hardware, but as it stands I am still waiting for an explanation on the plants.
Haha lukie games i buy from that place!

Could have been worse, a bundle of LIVE SPIDERS could have burst out of it.
