Sonic and Knuckles boxed: Got the game for free from a friend and bought the box for .50 cents from my brother.
8 Atari computer games from goodwill: Only paid 2 DOLLARS for all!
Mario's Time Machine(SNES): A buddy at my work cleaned out an apartment for an elderly man and found Mario is Missing, a Super Game boy, and Mario's Time Machine. He gave them all to me for FREE. I traded Mario is Missing with another friend and traded the Super game boy in at a local game store.

Yes, they are. It says so on the cartridge, but not on the cases. It never really mattered to me though. To me, it embodies what gaming was like at the time. Though ones that didn't say it would have been nice.
Ah, oh well. Nice pick-up anyway. My "Not for Resale" copy of Sonic 2 actually has the NFS label on the box, so it seems like you got a standard release box for it. Just need to find the cart somewhere.

Should I have gotten a original gameboy for 8 bucks? It was extremely dirty. Also Sorry that is isnt relevent to the topic, but does any of you have an extra nes that you would sell cheap? My finds were my friend gave me pokemon yellow with the battery working for 5 bucks, and I bought the 2000 E3 edition and the october 2001 Nintendo Power ( Luigi with the gamecube) for 1 dollar.

Eh, not really, I wouldn't feel bad passing on that. They don't sell in good shape for much more than that. They're really only a "nostalgia only" sort of thing since the screens are just atrocious and they're probably the least portable Game Boy.

Really it's your call for me if it's im working order and nice shape i'll keep it for myself or if i already have one I'll clean it up nice and resell it or maby put it up for trade remember one's trash is another's treasure.
8 buck for a working gameboy with charger is not bad at all if it can be cleaned up and shines. if the screen is all messed up then i;d say no or if it is badly discolored. I came across a snes that was so yellow i would not pick it up even for 10 buck i just don't see much value to it although some people don't care about that kinda stuff
hell some people if there not on racketboy may not even care if a game has a box or book
