is that a rare game, or just uncommon?

[madrocsz]

I suppose its kind of inbetween uncommon and rare. It has stayed around the 50$ mark for a few years but lately has been pushing 100

I got some more shelves from the side of the road. 
I'll post pictures soon, maybe. They are fairly beat up, and are missing some revolvable shelves, and came with some parts that I do not know where they go, but they should fit in good with my game wall. One I'm using as a TV stand, other two are for speakers. If it all works out the way I think it will, I can finally have some my systems hooked up under my TV! The spare 2 pieces seem to be shelves for the wide one, but they do not fit anywhere. I'm going to screw one to the bottom of the big one, the big one has no botom, I may cut the other one in half and use it as more shelves. I need to cut holes in the back for wires.
Here is a beautiful MS paint depiction of everything.

One mans trash is another mans treasure.

These are my pick ups for the weekend.

Nice, I just picked up a CIB Spellcaster a couple weeks ago. Pretty sure Mystical Defender for the Genesis is to be considered the sequel.

BTW, just finished a 100% run through Tomb Raider! Great fucking game!

Yes, you're right. Mystic Defender and Spell Caser in Japan are part of the same series; based on an anime series I believe.

Seeing as SNES game prices are seemingly moving towards an infinitely high price ceiling, I started just grabbing pretty much everything that I may even have remote interested in at some point. 

So, new rule for me.  $5 or less and any interest at all = purchase.  Also gonna try and start grabbing some of the pricier games that I still want.  Hate how expensive SNES collecting has become

The rate at which prices are moving upward is alarming! Some games which I've had on the back burner jump up in price month by month. I consider myself a frugal buyer but I've been breaking down and paying prices before they jump further more.

[wiggy]

Yup, same here.  I don't think it's worth waiting for a lot of this stuff at this point.  The market is beyond blowing up.  I just grabbed Smash TV, Contra 3, Gradius 3, and most likely Demon's Crest on eBay for decent current value prices.  Shit just keeps giong up and it's insane. Just saw a loose EB go for $300    Nuts.  I'm gonna try and sell the copy that N64guy sent me for as much to be perfectly honest.  I don't particularly care for the game, and it'll afford me a LOT of $20-40 common titles that I still want.

[madrocsz]

Omg, spectre, that game is so beyond horrible... seriously look at videos of it, its almost funny how poor it is. Battle cars , I remember this it was a crappy attempt to be like f-zero with clunky mario kart missiles etc

On the topic of game prices, its fekin retarded, almost sickening. If I had to go back and get some of the games I got years ago I would just quit lol, and even the ones I waited on sucked to purchase.

Prime example, as much as I love game chasers, they found flintstones for nes when it was around 150-200$, pfft try and get it for less than 700 in less than 2 years.

[wiggy]

Yup, blows   Same goes for me. A LOT of what I already have would not be on my purchase list today.  WAY too expensive.   I just thank goodness that I collected so many good games so long ago.

Also, expect to see some really uninspired wiggy covers for many of these  Not really pshyched about making covers for a lot of what I purchased (though I did crank out a "neo retail" cover for Spectre in a flash that's pretty decent IMO).

It also helps to be selective with your purchases.

[Super GDubs Fighter II Turbo: Championship Edition III]

Speaking of incredibly valueable games for the Super Nintendo, I'm about to score on 3 EPIC titles for an insane price from a friend of mine.  I'll post what I get soon enough.

  Don't even get what you mean.
