I'd hold out for a Breakers Revenge if you're not dying to play this game right away.

See, this is the thing right here. Don't go hunting Breakers just because I said I was!
Go grab yourself Metal Slug and Samurai Shodown and enjoy yourself!
This is sadly true. As I stated earlier I wanted to pick up splatter house 2-3. But they are not worth 120-170$ each. They are at best 50$ games. I would probably play them once and they would sit on a shelf for a few years till I wanted to play them again.

I bought Splatterhouse 3 CIB for $25 at a flea market a couple of weeks back.
You must have patience and discipline. If it doesn't fit (your budget), you must a-quit.
Sound advice. Also nice grab man. That's a great price

Actually, I have been looking for a copy of breakers as well. I saw it on a video that retrogametech Did when he was repairing a Neo Geo CD controller and I thought it looked really cool. And of course I am going to get a copy of Metal Slug... If I can find it under $50

Thats insane, I paid 20 each and felt that was a lot. When I got them it was 2005 though. Crazy to see how things have changed.

Unfortunately these prices will stay like this for quite some time if not get even higher. I collected 60's and below comics for 10+ years and the same thing that has happened to that market is happening here.
Collecting retro games is whats cool now and thats going to continue bringing in people who aren't educated on the value of these things, in turn some serious money will get shelled out and people will start to see the trend with those particular games and continue to push the limits on what they can get for it.
Youtube personality is to retro games what a new marvel movie is to that characters appearance in comics.
1st appearence of Thanos was a $150 book on a good day in great condition, one scene of him at the end of Avengers pushed that book upwards of $700+.
Same thing in video games, Youtube brings peoples attention to these games and then they get sought after by the thousands watching the videos, then the sellers start to see these games dissapearing fast so they raise prices.
Best example I can think of off the top of my head would be Jackie Chans action kung fu, those prices tripled right after there was a AVGN episode on it.

Okay, got the carts in and this is fucking wierd. The Puzzle Bobble with a spine label is a bootleg, but the one with tape on it is actually a legit cartridge. It has the correct Mask ROMs and everything. http://mvs-scans.com/index.php/Bust-A-Move mine is Set 2.

Both of the labels in that auction are fake, labels don't necessarily correlate to legitimacy.

I did some investigating and I found out why the seller had a legit and a fake. The legit cart has no sound at all (probably a bad S1), and the bootleg is just fine.

why do you support conversions? Not only was an article produced that noobs could be scammed with, two games got killed for that abomination - one perfectly fine MVS cart for the chips, one perfectly fine AES cart for the PCBs, Shell, Case. Buy a fucking converter and MVS cart next time.MS1 is a conversation though
So we all hope... but I'm afraid I'll be too old to game then and/or some of the games will have died from data rot.
this. I was sure my PB cart is legit... now when I get home I'll have to recheck.

So you bought a conversion even though you knew it was wrong and why? You even had an MVS version to play?
Ban plz.
