>went to a thrift store last week>snes cartridges for $20-40Okay, what the FUCK happened, this is absolutely retarded.
>>738285960>not one good gameSwindled
>>738285960Each?
>>738285960It really is over for americans.
>>738285960I know what I got.
>>738286029If you're gonna troll, at least be clever about it
>>738286029I just used the first pic I found on google... I didn't think of taking one there.>>738286064Each!
>>738285960Thrift stores caught on to retarded retro buyers and pricecharting. The only reason to go in person for old games is to see if a disc is scratched.
>>738285960Such a sexy cartridge for such a terrible version of the game. The red certainly got them a few extra customers.
>Sim CityFuckin' nice, loved the SNES version of that game. Some of its soundtrack still lives rent free in my head.
>>738285960>went to a thrift store last week>snes cartridges for $20-40yeah, you are just larping. games cost way more than this these days.
They cost more if they have the box and instruction booklet in good condition
>>738285960>
>>738287149Terrible to play, but a programming miracle that it managed to run on such weak hardware.
How much were you planning to pay for them, 5 to 10 each? If so you're late by 20 or so years.
>>738290521It's a little better on an fxpack/sd2snes where you can run the game in a high speed mode. Still not great! The novelty is there but if I'm playing a shitty version of Doom I have other options that are more novel imo.
>>738287149My very first first-person shooter. It's no wonder I didn't touch another one until Halo 2 at a LAN party.
>>738285960Zoomers don't know how to emulate so they drive up the cost for their fellow retards.
>>738290894If I'm diving headfirst into shit, I'm going all in.
>>738290926>My very first first-person shooterThe allure of red plastic that almost seems to match the Super Nintendo logo text, that classic M rating logo, the radiant glow of the over-processed label print that makes even the Marine appear too red.But god damn it's shit.
>>738285960Impressive if those still work
>>738285960>worse DOOM>Super Star Wars trilogyOh boy, you're in for some frustrating fun.>>738290926Glad the PS1 version was my first peer into the series, even with its omissions it's easily the best console port short of the real deal.
>>738285960Not even your own fucking picture bot-fag, and who the fuck goes to those fucking places anymore after they forsaken the ''goodwill'' part of their porpusse for existing, selling cheap used and useful stuff for people who are low income or poor, hence, goodwill?Goodwill, Salvation Army, Thrifts Stores, Flea Markets, as soon as they started sucking off the c0cks of leftists influences, fake stages shit like price of history and shitbay, they just became the same pigs.Saying as someone who only ever went once in its lifetime to a Salvation Army type places since i am mexican and only went several years ago when mom and i went to El Centro, only ever found some mexican VHS kids movie releases.
I keep wondering if I should try to liquidate my collection of old SNES/N64/Gameboy carts. They're all in decent condition albeit loose but I do still have some manuals to go with a few of them. I keep thinking if I wait too long this speculative bubble will surely pop and I'll miss my chance. But also I'm way too goddamn lazy so I'll probably die with this shit still taking up space in my closet someday.
>>738294519>Not even your own fucking picture bot-fag>>738286154
>>738286154>I just used the first pic I found on googleThat means that you're a phony. HEY EVERYONE, THIS GUYS A BIG FAT PHONY!
>>738285960>Sunset Riders.>In a lot of games for $40.sell it and buy yourself something pretty.
>>738285960They don't make them anymore, bro.
This is why i collect for master system
>>738285960Supply & Demand.There are a finite amount of cartridges out in the wild at this point. Further, none are being made anymore and haven't for many years. This means theres a small supply yet a growing demand.
>>738297715Damn. Supply and demand mind broke this nigger.
>>738297715K.
>>738298161Here's an example. Pokémon Emerald sold 7 million units world wide. Sold 1.9 million units in Japan alone which reduces it to 5.1 million units that aren't Japanese. In the USA around 2 million units sold, so the other 3.1 million units are outside of the USA. In the USA alone the population that is 20 to 50 years old or older is around 110 million people. So that's a lot of potential people that could be interested in getting one kind of game. This is assuming those copies aren't lost, inoperable, or aren't for sale since someone doesn't intend to sell them off.
>>738299451How many got returned and then destroyed?How many were destroyed via kids being kids?How many were lost in a house and never found?How many were lost to flood, fire, tornado, hurricane, etc. How many still have a manual, box, and cart in pristine condition?The supply doesn't exist but the demand still does. And if you're not into repros.
roms are free
if you still want to play on original hardware instead of emulating, just get a flash cart.
>>738300548Even that's dwindling. But I'm glad efforts are being made to keep that hardware alive.
>>738290521>, but a programming miracle that it managed to run on such weak hardware.it has a special chip you fucking retard
>>738300039Yeah, I'm just displaying why games are expensive. Just because millions were printed it means little. Some people go by world wide sales and don't subtract the sales from a language they don't speak. None the less the potential millions of people into it. If anyone has a problem with the price then the obvious answer is this: >>738300442 not to say there aren't still games for 15 bucks and less, but people want their Marios and Resident Evils rather than venturing to other games and genres they typically don't play.
