he won't sell (unless he finds a knucklehead), so expect a call

Looks like a Gamecube plug to me

Just tried it on my Gamecube controller and sure enough, that's it. Thank you. I'm not sure why I didn't recognize it now.

Should've asked whoever you bought that Ogre Battle card from whether they had the game. IIRC those memory card stickers came with the game.

What I would do to get my hands on Ogre Battle for anything at this point...

I've never found the PS1 version cheap, but I managed to snag the SNES version for $2.99 at a thrift store. One of my best thrift finds by far.

I played it at my best friends house as a kid, but that never helped me actually get into it unfortunately.

I didn't find the memory card until I got home. I did ask about Super Nintendo games, but the guy at the sale said he was keeping them. Who knows what kind of goodies he was hanging on to.

Just enough to drive us all crazy...

I always run into people that keep their SNES stuff but dump out their NES and N64 stuff. I never liked the n64 and 8 bit is too shitty so I'd keep the SNES stuff as well.

Damn, I've been soooo busy. I better post last weekend before the new one comes.

Not much . . . not that many sales and it is mostly the incomplete console week.

I saw these . . . marked $3 for the SNES and $2 for the Yobo

I think I paid $3 for the pair. The SNES has a power adapter . . . a controller and TV adapter are easy to add. I thought I'd try the Yobo for testing NES games. The woman said she couldn't find her games anywhere . . .

This one is complete and actually came with an extra TV hookup:

Woman wouldn't budge from $10.

No contollers, power, or TV hookup but an NES with gun and 9 ok games:

Paid $10

All of the rest was $15 . . . Sears Atari lot:

I can't work up much excitment for a 2600, yet I can't turn it down:

The boxed copy of Blueprint (5200) is the gem
The system:

Has a universal power adapter and lacks joysticks but has paddles
These booklets are a bonus:

N64 has crappy 3d graphics and really, not that great of a library of games. A lot of the games can be purchased on the Wii virtual console if you really want to play them that badly. Most NES systems probably don't work now, and people who just want to get rid of their stuff will not know how or want to do a connector replacement. The SNES is the sweet spot with decent 16 bit graphics, and has mario games just like every other Nintendo console. IMO 16 bit 2d graphics are better than extremely crappy 3D graphics. If you want to play the NES mario bros games they are available on the all starts cartridge. It also has a good selection of RPG's which the NES and N64 lack. The controller is also better and it also has the super gameboy adapter.

N64 is worth it for the pokemon stadium games, but you need the old GBC cartridges to play them, and most of those do not save anymore. The stadium games aren't very fun unless you have pokemon from the cartridges. When people lose their many hours of playtime from those games they will just want to get rid of them.

With this in mind I can definitely see people keeping the SNES over the N64 and NES.

Just to chime in, when I sell games at cons the fastest selling stuff is always N64 stuff. In the next five years, you'll probably see a trend of people hanging on to those games. People are REALLY nostalgic about the 64.

yep, and its sad, to a point.

For someone my age (25), N64 was the first system I had that I can remember playing the games on a day-to-day basis and bought games for on my own. I had an NES and SNES when I was younger but they don't have the same sentimental value to me that the N64 did. I bet many people around my age group feel the same way.

27 here And I'd say my memories of playing the s n e s vs n64 are about evenly matched

Unfortunately the nostalgia I feel for the nes is clouded due to grovers 123s..qbert..rygar..and mario bros. Nothing epic-ly nostalgic shaped my childhood more than super mario rpg, mario kart (snes and 64), zeldas, etc.

I tend to skip a generation...

SNES to PS2/Wii, looks like I'll be in for PS5...

Atari, NES, SNES, PS1, PS2, PS3 was my progression PlayStation being the first systems I bought as an adult.

I'd say what the n64 has is a strong multi-player line-up and it's rugged enough that parents can still pass it onto their children as an economical "first system" (look at gameboy color systems, why do they still sell so well when you can play the same games on an sp or ds? It's the difficult-to-destroy factor). I'm thinking too that a lot of people play the re-releases and want to go back to the original Smash Bros., Ocarina of Time, Goldeneye, etc.

I was Atari(Don't remember too too much though, I was really little), NES, Sega(got the basic system and rented the shit out of Streets of Rage 1-3), PS1, PS2 and now, 360.
