That is pretty hardcore.

That's some hardcore cred too.

Anybody else notice that he took the cartridge apart? That makes me very nervous.

Really, that's not that weird. Carts are easy to pull apart and put back together if you have the right screwdriver, and you have to do it with carts to ensure that the gold contacts are still in good shape. A few of them don't even have the carts themselves; you're bidding on nothing more than the circuit board the game is programmed on to.

How many people on this board will catch this?

Top of my head, Fixer contact comment from SR1??? Or something like that.

Regarding the SR game-pak, what's a working SNES worth these days? The UK version looks pretty ugly.

Posted by: ravensmuse Jul 8 2009, 04:02 PM

Twenty or thirty dollars - at least that's the median I've seen around here in Boston. I ended up getting mine for around that price five or so years ago at a Gamestop.

Yep!

Which was stolen from the Gibson short story "Burning Chrome", in the anthology of the same name.

Intrigued, I looked up an ebook of Burning Chrome and searched for the quote (the word Israeli actually) and alas could not find it.

I'll have to settle for the PC version.

Posted by: Thanee Jul 9 2009, 01:00 PM

I already have a regular cartridge of that game. That's good enough for me (especially considering I do not have a SNES).

Honestly? Find some garage sales / yard sales / flea markets. You'd find one for less than even that. I know one guy at our local flea market sells 'em by the truckload for ten.

I'm just saying what the ebay median is

Posted by: Link Jul 10 2009, 01:18 AM

My regret of the SNES years was never seeing the SR game for sale so I'll keep an eye out. Maybe Thanee will sell his copy.

Posted by: ravensmuse Jul 11 2009, 10:54 AM

On a slight tangent, you know what I want?

Just spend I think it was 50 bucks and get a dou system it palys both nes and snes games works great.

Posted by: Hocus Pocus Jul 16 2009, 04:40 AM

I have the original cartridge and game as well for the snes, they are collecting dust in the closest behind me. Sega version was better. and uber mage/decker/street sam? :O

This game was the bomb.

Still remember obtaining Drake's LTG number, calling him up, and having him curse me out no matter what I asked him.
