good...

I got my SMS at a flea market. Paid good money for it too. It had an
electrical problem, so I had to take it to a repair shop and the guy
fixed it for $25. Finally, after so many years I actually have another
SMS. Haven't seen another one since I bought mine about 6 months ago.
Super rare around here. I don't know if they were always that rare,

A buddy of mine has two of them, in box. I haven't ever had the urge to
borrow them from him though. The NES/SMS is about as low as I go...
I've got the PBC, and I'm pretty happy with that. I only have 11 carts
though. I didn't start buying SMS games until I got my PBC.

I was a bit lucky. I got my colecovision by going into a thrift store and
seeing a colecovision console and racing controller in brand-new-looking box
sitting on the counter. Someone had obviously just dropped them off.
And my SMS with box I got from another thriftstore many years ago before
they all stopped stocking electrical items. I have maybe 30 or 40 games in

Same here.
What kills me is that on John Lashower's website(one of the devs), he
says that there were cheat codes in the game, but they took them out
before it went to press. :(
You got that right.
I think anyone who is starting right now, is starting with the Wii VC,
or just plain emulation through their computer/modded Xbox/etc, but I

Man, I'd love to have access to SMS stuff...and not just the stuff we
got here in the US. I'm a huge GG fan, but I'm finding that I really
would prefer to have the SMS version of a lot of the games, as I want to
play them on the TV. With that said, I'd love to start replacing a lot
of my GG library with their SMS counterparts....but man, they are always

I guess it ain't a big deal for somebody who can afford them at such
astronomical prices. I never could. Still can't.
LOL. I tried to play it on the xbox a while ago. I didn't get very
far.
Having to package the shit, and then get to the post office is the
biggest PITA ever.
I can't understand it either. Last year was a good year for me. I got

Same here...it was yet another reason I didn't want an N64 at the time.
I'll never forget seeing GoldenEye at Best Buy for $69.99...
I just wish SW was easier, or there were some codes for it. I get my ass
handed to me every time I play that motherfucker.
I agree...plus, the fees are just outrageous nowadays.

It was getting that way around here, but then a few chains and a few
local places opened up to keep the supply flowing(thank God).
There really is nothing quite like getting a great deal on a great game. :)

I'm not sure if Ben is selling, or has already sold his copy...but I can
