Found older games...

Post by RCBH928 »

Hello there,

i was at a local videogame store and he has some new retro games selling them for like $13 each. Here is a list of what I thought might be worthwhile.... are they worth anything or even good to play?

-Mace/ 64
-Star Soldier/ for 64 i think
-Virtual wrestling/ 64
-operation espionage
-gunbird

Gunbird and Virtual Wrestling 64 are both very good games.

Star Soldier Vanishing Earth for N64 is just ok. If you're a shmup fan it might be worth picking up, or if you're desperate for a shmup on N64 as it is the only one. Compared to US prices that might be a bit much though.

$13 each? :roll: Good grief, I imagine there were some real rip offs there.

What system was Gunbird for? PS1 or Saturn? Either way, get it. It's worth it. Star Soldier is fun, but nothing amazing. I guess get it. The rest are not worth it. You could easily import Virtual Pro Wrestling on the 64 from Japan for less than $13, including shipping.

but its not going to work on my American NTSC system will it?

ill give gunbird and star soldier some thought.

$13 here is considered cheap, I am talking about store that probably still sells gamecube games for $60 as a "SALE" price. We dont have second hand market here for videogames, its rare, not to mention retro one.

There is another store here that still has unsold games from the mid-90s , their prices are like they just came from the manufacturer. I think some might be well worth the price, since they are so old they are probably vintage stuff now :lol:

I think I asked him for a Sega Saturn once he told me he sold his last one for like $185 recently. Thats a brand new one

Virtual Pro Wrestling is a japan-only title anyway.

That copy might still work for you though. Just check the notches on the back of the cart and see if they match up to the other carts. My local blockbuster used to rent out a handful of n64 imports, and they all just had swapped backs.
