He also sold one of the two SNES Battletoads games (I'm still not sure which, they weren't pictured), for the mind-blowing price of $5. Unfortunately by the time I stumbled upon the listing Yoshi's Island had already been sold (for $10). Credit the lovely old man up North who had no real clue about the game collecting scene, but just wanted to get rid of his son's old SNES games. Which begs the question: how long have we been complaining about this? Jesus. A Letter to the Editor from GamePro magazine, May issue. Most companies seem more concerned with cranking out games for a quick buck than with producing a playable game with real value. I hope that someday the giants of this industry will realize that people are looking for real story lines, not just an excuse to vicariously kill somebody. Many games that are supposed to be long and difficult can by polished off in a matter of hours or days. It also seems that the lifespans of games are shorter.

When will someone come onto the scene and breathe life back into the games? Although it may be true that many new games have superior graphics and audio capabilities, it's also true that many games are unimaginative or have little quality gaming. Too many companies are manufacturing games that are simply variations on a theme. I've become very concerned in the past few months with the video game industry. Complete bullsh*t.Īnd, Ecto Jedi, nice find on the old GamePros! I always keep a look-out for old copies of 90s game magazines when I'm checking out old comic shops, consignment shops, and used book stores! I'm really hoping new console launches kills some of the activity in the market and some of these reselling assholes lose their shirts over the winter. I was done then and there, but for kicks I asked about a copy of Adventure of Link, which is easily the cheapest ($6 or so) Zelda game available.

I dropped a quality license game on him, Tiny Toons for NES, which came with a price tag of $60. I wanted to test him a bit more, because I've noticed anything that sounds slightly fantastical seems to be thought of as a premium game to most of these clowns. I asked about a copy of Legacy of the Wizard for NES, which is maybe $5 when going by over-inflated eBay prices, and dude seriously shot back with zero hesitation an astounding $40 at me. My new tactic is to ask the price of a low end game and judge if I want to even bother talking to the person and this guy didn't disappoint in the least. I checked out a small vendor on the weekend at a smaller flea market and I was absolutely blown away by the price hikes within the last month alone. It's not even just resellers anymore, which is destroying the market and making it impossible to collect unless you luck out on a deal. The issue with people thinking stuff is worth money just because it's old right there.
