August 2013 Pickups! - Breaking bad and shark week too!
Thom Grayson:
I found a bag of carts at a church-sponsored yard sale, in one of those 1-gallon Ziploc bags
Written on the side was 'Nintendos 25$'. The bag was really dirty, both inside and out.
I pointed this out, and was offered 10$ off the price, which I very gladly paid.
What was in it?
The pokemon games alone make it worth it!
I tested and cleaned all of them - like I said, the bag was FILTHY. Foreman For Real doesn't work at all, but one dud out of 29 is a pretty good ratio!
N64 Guy:
Here are a couple
Bangai-O $109
Mario Artist $145

Excellent, 28 games. The one that didn't work you can use it as a doner cartridge for other game maybe

Just open it and clean it thoroughly! I never heard of a broken GB game exc ept if it was physically damaged. These carts are built for eternity!

It rattles, so there probably IS something busted inside. If it was Link's Awakening or something I'd still be trying desperately to make it work...
I showed it to a friend, who says, just like you did, that Game Boy games work forever. He concluded that it was a bootleg - the label has Japanese letters on it, and the label is missing those silver bars on the side. I don't know if there's any truth to that - seems an unlikely game to bootleg in the first place!
