Nintendo Genesis

Have owned and pwned the 360 WII and PS3 over the last 4 years and Ifound myself at a loss for what was going to be my go to game this summer. Granted all 3 systems have great games out and coming out I still don't see anything thatoverly excites me other then maybe (diablo 3).

Problem Solved!

While browsing a used game store I came across a huge section of NES SNES, and GENESIS games form (.99-70$) Avg 5$

20$ for NES and GENESIS consoles

2 weeks and and 200$ later I have gathered over 40 games (FFIII,Secret of Mana,Sonic 1-3,Mario...,Streets of Rage 2, Mortal Kombat...,Mega Man, Zelda, and many many many more)

Many of my gamer friends now come to my house and pass on halo, gears , killzone 2 , MGS4, Mario Kart and go straight for the dusty game stack.

I would highly recomend to anyone who isn't already doing so to consider doing the same sooner then later too because some of the gamesI find say at like "a used book store" for 5$ like FFIII are selling at specialized stores for 50-70$

Finally please list some of the best/rare SNES and GENESIS games you played back in the day "WORKING ON MY NEXT SHOPPING LIST" 8 )

You should come over to Sega-16.com and talk with the folks in the forums. That's the main site I use and most of the members there prefer the Genesis and NES over just about everything else. You'll probably also find that it's a pretty laid-back community.

I wouldn't say i prefer them

more like rediscoverd is more like it

Yah, I got myself a Retro Duo system a few weeks ago (Just an NES and SNES on a chip), and it's great. I have an original SNES, and I'd love a top loading NES someday, but for now this'll do. Started stock piling old games that I keep finding at stores, and it's just awesome. Always had a nice stash of SNES games, but long ago when I was young my mom sold our NES because "Well, you've got your new Nintendo 64 right? You don't need this. Ok, well we'll just keep the Super Nintendo since I like that one as well".

One of the top worst things my mom ever said! :D Only I didn't realize how much I'd really be missing by not having that NES. Granted I didn't miss it at all because the N64 was/is one of the best systems ever, but now I just wish I had all my old games like Gunsmoke, and Battletoads! :(

So yeah, that's what I'm doing this summer too! Buying a huge stash of old games for usually less than $5 :) Definitely worth it.

Yah, but emulators are lame. I'd much rather have a large collection spanning across multiple walls of my house. :P

There's a store near me with a Sega Saturn on sale, and I'm really tempted to buy it. I'm not certain how hard it is to find at least a handful of good games for it, but I bet it's hard. Only game I really want to play is Panzer Dragoon Saga since Orta on the Xbox was awesome, but ugh. $300? No thanks!
