October 2012 pickups

[redsox2012]

Found a pretty decent condition copy of the original "Mario Bros" game for NES for $7 at a local fair.

It has some old sticker residue on it (probably from an old store rental label).  Any ideas on what's the best way to remove such residue from an NES cart?

Best thing iv found to get rid of sticker residue is  Goo Gone, you can pick it up at most store that have a house hold cleaner section.

Boggles my mind why Nintendo didn't release Classic NES Series: Mario Bros.

I mean, yeah it's bundled with every Super Mario Advance game, but hey they released NES Metroid separately despite it being unlockable on both Metroid GBA games.

Iron Storm 20$ half.com, Lunacy 70$ half.com, Alone in the Dark (free, guy I bought lunacy, lunar and sega ages threw it in)

Nice Saturn pickups, madrocsz.

I have a Saturn Sega Ages (U.S.) disc, and I've been looking for a good scan of the front and back for a while now.  I know that the covers contains some kind of metallic foil which probably makes it hard to get a decent scan.

Thanks, finally glad to be done w/ working designs on sega cd/saturn
I probably have a lot of stuff people need on this site, I just need to finally get a scanner. Not 100% sure which one would be best and most cost efficient honestly

I find Lighter Fluid works best for me.  Goo Gone is great too though.

Apparently F.Y.E. is selling retro games, they had mostly crap sport games and Some Crap Genesis movie games, that were in bd condition.
Gey had Sonic 2 and SF2 for Gen for $5 each and Mario 2 for NES for $15 and A N64 fr $50.
I got Carmageddon for GBC for $3. Looking at the label, It looks like the NTSC label was pasted over the PAL.

[AO007]

Welp, I got Sonic Generations 3DS today. It's surprisingly more difficult than the console version.

The biolizard fight is so cool.

[wiggy]

I've got Sega Ages. I'll try and scan it tomorrow.

[palmer6strings]

Picked this all up from a friend for $9
Gameboy didn't work when I got it. Works now though.
Also FFA did not come with it. It was my test cart.
