What games to buy?

Hi,

Oh the horror, I have the oportunity to buy a huge lot of MVS carts for about 25$ a piece

Btw: atm i only own puzzle bobble and pop n bounce

I'm looking at some screenshots of all the games to help me decide, but they ALL look sweet

Are there any games in particular that are normally being sold for a lot of money in that list (not to sound greedy, but it'd kill me to want a game later on and pay a lot for it knowing i could've had it for 25$ )

Thanks for the input so far

Here is a price list that can help you decide what to buy (if you are into it for resale) :

I'm not planning on reselling them since the guy is an irl friend and that'd be kind of like stabbing him in the back, he knows he could ask a lot more for them online.

Just looking to make a few purchases at a good price now so i won't have to spend the big bucks later on

At $25 a pop, $100 would get you:

Metal Slug 1
KOF 98
Neo Turf Masters
Blazing Star

That's all you'll really ever need.

Man o Man! 1st) go hawk sompin for extra cash..since you'll probably never get this opportunity again. 2nd) tell your friend that if he would like another friend im cheap,...$25-a-cart-cheap..Ha. Given the opportunity for so many great choices i'd pick:

Metal Slug 3
KoF 02 or 03
Shock Troopers 2nd Squad
Prehistoric Isle 2
Flipshot
Neo Mr. Do

*also note that i chose these titles in light of the fact that most are rare or hard to find and would cost you a pretty penny on the open market...whereas a lot of the others on your list can be bought for cheap prices. Good Luck w/ your collection/playing.

Even if he came across these carts, I don't know how he could manage to sell you KOF 03 among other games on MVS for $25 each, unless they are boots.

At $25 a pop its hard to go wrong here.
Pulstar
Blazing Star
Metal Slug 1,2
Nightmare in the Dark
Prehistoric Isle 2
Would be the ones I'd buy because they will cost you LOTS more $ in the future.

these have got to be boots...kof '01 plus, have fun with your boots

Actually the plan is to buy 1 first and check it, we'll see soon enough if they're boots or not, the seller doesn't know anything about MVS and isn't trying to scam me or anything, if they are boots, too bad. He's selling the older games for 12.5$ a piece, worth to take that risk imo.

Also, what about KOF '01 Plus; why does this particular title make you suspect it's a bootleg (i don't know too much about MVS carts myself)? Do you think this because the name isn't right or something? If so, that can still be explained, several of the titles in the list he gave me were misspelled (he made the list from memory and made a few "educated guesses" about some titles he didn't fully remember).

But anyway, like i said, we'll see

What games to buy since you only have $100 to spend...well buy these...or else...hehe!

Metal Slug 3
Samurai Shodown 3
Pulstar
Windjammers

Well those are my choices...but you can get KOF2003 for $25?
