We hardly ever bought games. In fact when we finally bought a Super Nintendo, we only had 4 NES games that were purchased new (including the one that came with it :P). • Super Mario Bros. / Duck Hunt • Super Mario Bros. 2 • Super Mario Bros. 3 • Rad Racer Renting games was just a part of life. The SNES was no different. By the time we purchased a PS1, we only had 3 games for the SNES that we purchased new. • Super Mario World • Yoshi’s Island: Super Mario World 2 • Donkey Kong Country The PlayStation was the first system where I started owning a moderately sized collection of new games. It’s amazing to think that all of my Nintendo games have been purchased used since then. |

Back when I was a kid, we (as in my parents) were pretty poor, and I would save my "allowance" for my mom and my garage sale adventures. Beings the SNES was only a year or 2 old at that point, I would pick up some really nice games pretty cheap. For example: I picked up Final Fantasy 2 and 3 (cart only), River City Ransom w/box, and plenty of other NES and SNES games for $5 a pop. Hell my cousin GAVE me one of my favorite games, Chrono Trigger. Kept me entertained plus wasn't a big expense to myself or my parents. One of my friends had a lot of Sears and JCPenny holiday catalogs that actually had like a 20 page spread of just video game stuff. Was pretty cool to reminisce looking through it all. If she still has them, I may scan them in and share them. |

As I recall, CD based games were far cheaper to make than cartridges, so the games averaged about $40 new, and $20-$30 used, where the N64 could be twice that price. I, too, remember having a handful of games for various systems, and then really starting to build an affordable collection when the PS1 came out. |

I've always relied on used games and sale times for my collections. |
