This has been bugging me all day. Why pay $100 on a repro cart. This is a very common game. Also I would rather play Turbp. Why not have a 30th anniversary Street Fighter release like Fighting Street for $20 or less. I also have my original copy. I think please that want this are just willing to buy anything.

Or better yet some sort of re-make newly sported SF whatever iteration game made for SNES hardware with crazy memory on a physical cart for the SNES.

Liven it up.


I'd be throwing fire retardant money so fast.

I ordered 5 because I hope to be lucky enough to get the *glow-in-the-dark* version!

The glow-in-the-dark copies will be randomly mixed...

I wanted to order 10 copies but my credit card was declined due to "transaction cannot be processed due to purchaser being a complete and utter f*ckwad"...

I've been working hard since I got my first job 20 years ago to try to enjoy life a little and I find out today it is this easy to make half a million dollars?  I've been going at life all wrong.

Blood Red Mortal Kombat for Genesis preorders will open up in a separate thread soon.

Someone pointed out that they're the same board, meaning they probably just bought up a bunch of SFII carts online and threw away the shell...

This is how a lot of weird records get issued. Like, a 45RPM pressing of Peter Gabriel's So with no cover art limited to 500 copies or that surprisingly great audiophile LP version of the Bulitt OST that came out a few years ago. Some companies exist just to reproduce something in different form...which, again, I'm totally fine with it done in a certain way but I don't think this is that.

I honestly think something like this for certain classic titles or harder to find titles would be great. Though it definitely needs to be done right, at a proper price, and you know not risking blowing up your system.  Like do this for Demon's Crest for 60 bucks, or a legit from Konami repressing of Rondo of Blood, I would be all for it.  100 bucks for a common as f*ck cart that isn't even made right, WTF at that.

My shelf candy portfolio doesn't contain any of these retro gaming investments. I just don't know how to retro properly.

You need to diversify.  I hope your portfolio is split with heavy weight on short term investments (items to flip/immediate income) vs. long term futures (speculation).  Don't get fooled with extra items being a slice of your futures pie.  When black monday hits this market (and it will), being rich today "on paper" is just going to dilute you later.

That's how you retro

Back in the mid '90s Babbages had brand new SFII World Warrior snes on clearance for $1.99.  I remember the store had boxes of them on the floor underneath the bargain bin.  No one wanted them then and I don't think anyone really cares about World Warrior now.

All this retro/classic collector repro bs is really getting out of hand.
