Im kind of shocked at the NES prices - I thought a copy of Mario 3 or Tyson's punch out would be 5$ - Since I imagine Hundreds of thousands were produced - But I plan to play the long patient game, and the trade game for a while - Fortunately some of the games I liked like RYGAR are still pretty cheap it seems!
Well that's what happened over the last recent few years, they used to be $5 games up until maybe 4~ years ago when scalpers got into playing chicken with each other on prices. Stick with the famicom stuff and you'll find the prices still being in line with non-insanity in many cases. Why buy Bonk on NES for $350 when you can spend like $10-20 on the famicom version? ...and so on. A few aren't all that cheap though, like the $1000 Little Samson is still like $100 on Famicom, but clearly that's a far less nasty bite.

Always cool to see a new member be active. However there is a thread for this sort of thing:
viewtopic.php?f=15&t=210You probably missed it though because this forum is way too fractured for its own good.
Have fun and play games.

Oh stop it. That thread is not hard to find and for every member who thinks there are too many sub-forums there is another member (or more) who make requests for new sub-forums.

No I won't stop it. Because I disagree with you and you're not the boss of me.
I could point out how NeoGAF is the biggest gaming forum on the internet and they manage to do that with ONE gaming board. /v/ is the second biggest gaming forum on the internet and they manage to do that with ONE gaming board. But that's just crazy talk so I'll stop yeah.

We are not NeoGAF and don't strive to be.

The fact that you have to do that is indicative of a root structuring problem.
But I'll cease my childish logic.

This was what was childish: "No I won't stop it. Because I disagree with you and you're not the boss of me."
And it isnt indicative of anything. Most forums have a latest discussions feature.

That was supposed to be a joke. This is what happens when you forget the blue text people.
