Are you saying Chucky hooked you up? :shock:

No offense, but paying $800 for cart only of Flinstones 2 is not something to brag about. It is buyers like you who want everything now that enable these crazy prices.

This shit is turning into Earthbound status.

That's ok. Your able to give your own opinion. I was not going to give the price away but so many wanted to know. I love the game and love being able to play it and have it. That's all that matter's to me. Not the value. Just the fact that it's a rare game and not too many are out there. Not the money its worth. I love to play rare gems that were not produced in mass amounts.

Silly question...but did you try it? Is it any good? Maybe it's worth the price of entry on gameplay alone. I sincerely doubt it, but you never know! :lol:

I hold this opinion as well. If it's worth the money to you, to hell with what anybody else thinks. If it makes you happy, that's what matters.

I always try to pick up cheap rare games before the expensive ones though. I always like owning an exceedingly rare item, mainly because I know I'll take care of it and that it'll be played and loved. :mrgreen:

I certainly agree w/ if it makes you happy then go for it, but I don't even think I would pay $800 for a console let alone a NES cart! :shock: That's just me though and congrats on the find. Hope it brings many hours of gaming enjoyment! :wink:

I have played this game through emulation and didn't really care for it but it's a little better than The Rescue of Dino and Hoppy. I'm not a big fan of the jumping up to grab the edge of a platform thing in these two games. I feel like the controls on this are a little slugish and in the games in general.
I am addicted to video games, especially retro gaming from my era. I have: NES, SNES, Nintendo 64, Gamecube, Gameboy, GBA, Wii, Sega Genesis, Sega CD, Dreamcast, PS1, PS2, Xbox, and Xbox 360. I have probably over 1,000 games in total for all these systems combined. Yes, I need help and I wouldn't have it any other way! This is my passion and hey my wife still loves me!!

That's what annoyed me to! At first I could not find out how to get up on the cliff but i was suppose to get up on the roof of the house first and then walk to the cliff and jump up. The second level so far i've mostly used barney(I think that's his name) because of all poles you have to climb on. I hate how fred can't climb the poles. I am enjoying the game so far. I wish I can capture game footage. I am not sure what the best USB capturing device is for NES compatibility.
