Wait, where did the pic go?   WTF?!

Dude, I am so beyond jealous.  What, how, why, ahhhh, WTF?!

[tiktektak]

All pics only for short viewing purposes.

By the way did you guys in the US get those big box SNEs games as well?

[wiggy]

Why?  What the hell?

No, only Earthbound came in the goofy big box just because a cheat book came with every copy.

Did Super Metroid come in big box only in Europe, not in the US?

[wiggy]

ONLY Earthbound here.

Awwww I missed the 2nd pic

[Arseen]

ONLY Earthbound here.

OK, one of the rare occasions where Europe gets better deal than US.

I dunno I always hated those big boxes. There are horrible when it comes to storage.

@TikTekTak, where/how did you get so many copies of so many GREAT games? You must've spent a small fortune! It looks like you have doubles and triples of games I'll never own ONE copy of in my life! EXCELLENT pickup btw.

It doesn't end there:

New in box. The box has quite some shelf wear though.

I meant because of the guide that came with the game.

As did one version of Super Bomberman because of the multitap. I think it was called Party Pak.

How do you guys know if something is actually NIB in the PAL regions?  They don't come in a shrink wrap or anything, right?

I know it because I bought this stuff from an old store which had a storage unit at the back of it's warehouse which housed plenty of old video game stuff. All from back in the days when they didn't sell it and kept it in storage for many years gathering dust. They moved the stuff around a lot though so sadly much of the stuff has quite some shelf wear and they also loved to put stickers on the cardboard boxes. *argh*
