Hey guys,

I just found a cool website that sells reproduction carts for fan translated/unreleased games


Anyway, they have a sale for 2 snes games for $100.  I have no idea if that's a good deal or not, but I have been unable to find games cheaper than that.  I am definitely getting Clock Tower (as I am a huge fan of the series) but as for the other game I am a little stumped.  I was considering Secret of Mana 2 or Terranigma.  There are other great titles too, but those are the two that really stuck out for me.   I love the Secret of Mana, but  I also really enjoy Illusion of Gaia.  I was wondering if anyone has played these games, and if one is superior to the other.  Any thoughts are definitely appreciated.

Also, because funds are tight, I can only get two games.  So "just splurge and get all 3" isn't an option at this point.

They're both great, there's really no wrong answer to this question. Maybe try SoM2 first, it's a little more popular.

Yes, they are both great games. Actually there is a bunch of great games there.

All in all you should prolly take that link off of your post. Not trying to be the bad guy, but I'd hate to see problems of any kind later down the road because of it.
What are you looking at? You think baby's don't like video games? THEN YOU DON'T KNOW SHIT ABOUT BABIES!!

It's prolly not a big deal. It happens a lot. Don't know if its clearly spelled out anywhere on the site, I just know because I've seen Arseen lay down the law more than a half dozen times or so :P

Snowcone said so somewhere, but even I don't remember where! ;D
And no punishments is dealt, only links deleted, so no worries.

And judging by the offer I think I know which site you mean = GRP.
If yes, I've ordered from there few times, amnd all has gone perfectly (once one cart had dead battery).
And I suggest to use the 5 SNES games for 230 shipped (better than the 104 for 2 games).

Done that.
Well 1K+ anyway so far...

 ;D

I calculated that to buy the rest of SNES games that they have would cost just under 1K, so maybe soon...

Then there is NES...

And the other site TWG... another 2K-3K for the missing ones...

And NRP then

And the RZ for few additional...

And then the new site I was forwarded to OCDRP...

FOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOK

And one seller on ebay is selling CIB English and Spanish DBZ games (4-6 per language), 120 euros each...

79 or so, PM'ed you the site.
Never ordered from there, but there seems to be many ones that I don't have at reasonable prices.

Must check closer. :-\

Yep, that's the place I was thinking of.  Their selection seriously overwhelms me.  It's like too much to think about LOL!  It actually looks like they have 81 titles now ;)


Really decent prices too.

I counted SNES games only = 79

There is also battery and lot of any 4 games for 180.
These 2 items I did not count.
