Finding SNES Games

Insert_Name_Here · Post by **Insert_Name_Here** » Fri Aug 11, 2006 10:00 am

I've looked around my town at the goodwills and used game stores (the game stores overcharges waaaaay to much). I've also looked on ebay too, which is more reasonable but still expensive for the better ones. I'm looking for a bargain on SNES games.

So I was wondering where most of you get your SNES games, do you go to garage sales, flea markets, w/e? Or do you dish out the cash and buy them at game stores and ebay?

ebay for me, if you look for awhile you can find some good deals on games

There's two or three shops in town that sell a lot of SNES games for 2 or 3 dollars around here. Of course, they charge more for the good games, such as mariokart or starfox, but for the most part it's a good deal.

I get mine at pawn shops (the most they charge is $5, but that's better than buying a game on eBay for $2.99 and waiting a week for it to get here), and the owners of the shops are all old and know nothing of games, so they are all the same price.

Just stop by tons of garage sales, especially in older neighborhoods.

Newer ones tend to have less.

there is a used book, music and game store near my house in raleigh, NC, that has everything popular, NES,SNES,N64,GB/C/A,PS2,Xbox,psp,ds... they have an entire bookshelf filled with SNES games! i didnt see prices for them, but if they were like all the others(i got a dreamcast for 20 bucks, a playstation for 15, and games for the PSX at 5 bucks a pop. i'd be willing to buy some for you, along with a little profit if you'd like. i saw every popular SNES game, even rare ones like doom 2 and star fox 2(for SuperFamicom with converter) let me know if youre interested!

If it where an official Nintendian* prototype cart, then it would be VERY valuable, but chances are it was just a generic EPROM w/ the data burnt onto it. But then again, didn't SF2 use an unreleased GPU? (I think "super FX 2" or something...) I might be wrong though...

*Nintendian=word I made up

I thought super fx 2 was any super fx game besides star fox.

Well what do you know, I was wrong!

I thought, I didn't know. But I thought I saw it in the Super FX overclocking guide that someone on benheck made. It is worth a try. Now, to code a ROM burning program with no coding experience and make a transfer cable using a spare cart slot.

I could have swore I played starfox 2 at my friends house...I must have been imagining things

There are ROMs everywhere, along with translations.
