Wouldn't it be a lot more fun to practice your gaming on good games? Or are you just confusing the word crappy with common or cheap? Just because a game's inexpensive doesn't mean it's not a ton of fun to play. But when you say you're looking for crappy titles all I can imagine is you stocking up on shit like Shaq Fu and Batman Forever.Originally Posted by LimitedEditionMuseum
You are correct about the confusing of the terms. But Im looking for all and any games now. when I mean crappy, Im thinking Eternal Warriors for Genesis.
What game? Do you mean Eternal Champions? Are you looking for sports games in bulk?
Any and all.
I'll try to make a list of the spare sports games I have, I should have around 70-80 ex-rental/beat up sports games that I'd want around $1 each. I'm not sure how much shipping would be though. I just have to find where I packed them.
COOL.pm me when you come up with what you have,
This does not follow. Why "practice" on crappy games? Why "practice" at all? Is there some kind of competition?
Crappy games are often crappy because they have serious flaws in basic game play and terrible button control, rendering them unsuitable for any purpose.the crappy games are also helping learn basic game play and button control

While buying lots can be a good way to get great deals on stuff you want, I wouldn't be too concerned with the idea of "bulking up". Just pursue what you want. Unless you have a ton of space, you may hit a day like myself with my 1200+ games where you have to think about if a purchase is worth the trouble of finding a place for it. Sure, you could weed out the junk later if you wanted, but it's better to save yourself the trouble.
It worked great for the Nintendo Nerd, he made a career of it. Plus junk games are great for bundling with other games to sell in bulk lots, that's how I got rid of most of my extra games(I had a lot of extras). If I overpaid on some games I could bundle them with several cheap games and break even.
In any case I should have the cheap leftovers sorted out within a couple of days, I'll send a PM when I'm done.
Man, if you're OK with acquiring a whole mess of crummy sports titles, then eBay is a fantastic place to start. You can EASILY find large lots of junk like that for .25-.50 a cart.
How did he make a career out of "practicing" on junk games?
He recorded himself playing badly on junk games while making fun of the games he was playing. Somehow that was enough.
Are you talking about the Angry Nintendo Nerd? Because if you are, he changed his name to the Angry Video Game Nerd to avoid copyright issues.
Look around at yard sales and used game stores. NES and SNES loose carts go for around $1-42 at yard sales around my area. Also, used game stores seem to undervalue oldies like VCS and Intellivision games, pricing most of the common titles at $1-$3 a piece.
Goodwill and pawn shops too. Lots of pawn shops will sell Genesis and PSX games at $1-$4 each.
you could always try shopgoodwill.com
Shopgoodwill's over the top shipping and handling fees almost always kill the deal for me. I don't get $14 to ship a few SNES games to my house, even if it is from Washington state. Have they never heard of media mail?
Apparently video games cannot be shipped by media mail. This limitation has be subject to much vitriol on this board in the past.

Come to Canada, cheapest parcel rates start at over $10. Weight doesn't matter as much as size, anything larger than letter mail(including bubble mailers more than 2cm thick) gets sent as a parcel.
