I LOVE that game! I used to rent it back in the day, but I don't recall EVER seeing a copy for sale in stores.
Besides when I rented it, I've only ever seen it once in real life.
Summer 2009 at a flea market for... 100$ And it was cart-only.

Everyone who knows me knows I was hunting a Power Glove for 19 Years, and while it did take a long time, I did finally get one. :)

My wife and I went to Asheville, North Carolina this weekend, and while she was at the Grove Park Inn Arts & Crafts Conference, I went hunting for games. I ended up with a ton of games and I stayed well within my budget. Overall, it was great weekend...with one exception.

On the way back to Charlotte, I stopped at a flea market. It was later in the day Sunday, and people were starting to close up. There was, however, a video game dealer that was still open. I looked around for a bit, and noticed a bin of items behind the counter. I ask to look through the bin, and the owner agrees - stating that he has not had time to look up and price the items in it. After sorting through some common Genesis games I find...Ninja Gaiden Trilogy.

Camonflauging it with copies of Crytalis (NES) and Mad Max (NES) and mixing it in with the other things I wanted, I offer him $40. We settle on $43, and I quickly exit - very happy with my find. (My $43 purchased El Viento (Genesis CIB); Tekken (PS1 longbox CIB); Ren & Stimpy Buckaroo$ (NES loose); Crystalis (NES loose); Mad Max (NES loose); and Ninja Gaiden Trilogy (SNES loose).)

When I get home, I throw Ninja Gaiden Trilogy in my SNES to test it out, and...BattleClash loads up.

Someone apparently switched the board in the cartridge for BattleClash. Who does that? Why? WHY!!!!!!?????? (And more importantly...any thoughts on what I should do with my Ninja Gaiden Trilogy/BattleClash cart? I cannot, in good faith, sell it.)

You can sell just the shell if it is in good shape to someone that needs a nice one or just keep it for a display piece that sucks that somebody went to all the hassle to be a dick

I remember Mortal Kombat Trilogy on the PS1 being hard to get for me. It started on Craigslist, the seller had it for $8 and I told him I'd be there in an hour to get it. an hour later when I was almost at his place, the asshole said he sold it to someone else a half hour after I called. Could he have not called me and told me?

Then I called my local game store to see if they had it, and they did. They said they'd hold it til the end of the day. I get there about 2 hours after I put it on hold and the asses sold it. What was the point of putting it on hold?

To this day I still haven't found another.
