I dunno if there is a reason but I notice that there has been very little AES games for sales lately. Is there any reason or?

AES carts have a 15 year lifespan. Give or take. Sadly the chips are nearing their end of life and are dying Big time collectors and archivists have started creating vacuum sealed boxes to try and preserve the chips, but there's only time to tell us how effective they'll be. Sad, really. Conversely the MVS doesn't have this problem, as it seems SNK only wanted the built in time bomb for home users. It was a big fuck you, but also a blessing as it keeps prices high and quantities low over the dirty-MVS-counterparts.

I kinda wondered the same. all my aes games work great even the games past the 15 year mark like magician lord and nam 1975.
It's common knowledge, of course.where did you get this information from?

Well, the AES world is for the most part composed of Big Tymers and noobs. Since all the noobs got a marketban and the big tymers usually keep their games, there isn't much carts for sale nowadays. I'd say just do like everyone else and get yourself a proper MVS setup, this is where the real party's at.

So one day, these carts will cease to exist?
I shall be buried with my carts in my sarcophagus inside my pyramid. XD
They will not cease to exist, but they will cease to work. I only wish it takes a whole lot of years for that day to arrive, so me and (possibly) my offspring can enjoy these great games for a long time.
