How Is Your SNES Gaming Going?

[Gunstar Green]

I've long thought about selling my Mega Man X2 and X3 carts and using the money to get an Sd2snes. IDK, as much as I consider myself to be a gamer, I guess some part of me is a collector as well.

Hate to admit the temptation hits me too. I haven't sold or traded in games in over a decade... but when they start hitting those triple digits it gets a little tempting haha.

I'm stuck between enjoying my library, wanting the money, and being too lazy to sell everything.

Hence why sellers are now showing the guts of these games in photos. Sigh.

Which is really the right thing to do these days. Too bad there isn't a website similar to NESCartDB that shows the PCB of every NES cartridge for the SNES (and the GBA for that matter)

I just had someone direct me to SNES Central, they have most of this stuff documented. e.g. Chrono Trigger

IIRC, byuu (of bsnes fame) acquired a complete CIB SNES library, documented each game, and then sold the lot.

Six figures?

I've been here before! I approve! Great site.

There was a thread on this forum about it. And I remember byuu had a blog post about it on his site. I don't remember much of the details though.

edit: Oh, I was the one that created the thread?

Dang that's a great resource, someone needs to get on that STAT

How about this website:
http://www.snescentral.com/article.php?id=1090

That site does have pics of SNES game boards.
The particular article that I am linking is what scares me the most though. Towards the end of the page, there's a bootleg game that looks nigh identical, besides the printing on the rom chips.

I would have posted it earlier (and maybe someone did on another thread), but I forgot where I found it for a while.

Fascinating. I certainly hope that it normalizes the market a bit, and I'm willing to put in the research to make sure it's legit.

So I picked up a copy of Secret of Mana from a member here about a month ago and I just started playing it this week. It's my first time playing this game and wow, I see why this gets so much praise. The music and visuals are top notch. The combat is exactly what I expected it to be. The only negative I have so far is the scrolling, you get way to close to the edge of the screen before it moves. I got hit a few times before I started to adjust to that.

It's a brilliant game. And the soundtrack makes my balls happy.

I'd dare say that sound track both in variety and quality is probably not surpassed by anything else on the system. I used to own the import soundtrack to it back in college and would just listen to it while doing other stuff. Even in the day I did some XM tracker music I did some of its sound track along with the amazing prequel on GB too.

Somewhere on my drive here I have a really huge scan of this full poster sized art of the mana tree that's digitized into the title screen with the heroes on it and some of those pink birds.
