here is one you dont see sealed everyday (but i think people just reseal them) I'm sure there are plenty of dealers taking advantage of the retro market by resealing old titles, but in the instance of the 93-97 era stuff there must be unimaginable quantities of product locked away in warehouses and...

Yes ... and don't bother with the memory units, as I've already tried and he's responded with more links to other places. :lol:

Agree on the N64 -- complete games with box & manual are impossible to find. I'm collecting Sega Master System right now ... Only has 114 official North America release games, and at least 80% of them you can buy for about $1.00. Most of the "rare" games sell in the $4.00 - $6.00 range. Because the ...

I'm laying out my basement game room/rec room and looking at a TV purchase here soon, and I'm mostly curious whether I'll be shooting myself in the foot if I get a modern high end TV set.
