[scooterb23]

For those of you who don't know it's super mario bros.
It's in PREFECT condition and looks as if it was played once or twice when I was little.

Does it know where its towel is?

[JSoup]

u mean it was liek a nintedno game w 3 games in it? pm pleeeeease ill pay u $$$

Yeah, it's a cart with all three games in it. Honestly, I don't think it's worth much, I got it at a yardsale a few years ago for $2. Surely you could get it for that or cheaper on eBay or something.

I ran into a guy at a record store recently. We were both digging around in the used last gen games, and after a couple quips back and forth, he blurts out, "I have a brand new nintendo system in the box."

I was just like,
"Uh, cool. I have a complete one in the box that's pretty mint."
"But this one has never been opened!" with a glazed look in his eyes and a defensive tone.

This guy was a complete mess. Bad teeth, seriously obese... in his early 20s. Yet he had the cutest girlfriend with him that he was being a complete dick to. It was a confusing situation.

I don't really have a point. But neither does OP, so it's okay.

[Gameguy]

Quit making fun of someone for being younger than most here, I like it when the next generation starts getting into the hobby and appreciates the classic stuff. He's happy with his NES stuff like I was when I started out.

[Tupin]

Nice find, I wish I could find my copy of Super Mario Bros. 3 I had when I was younger. I have one now already, but I've been looking for it for a while now, can't seem to find it anywhere.

Thanks alot. I'm 15 years old and I just starting getting into collecting. You guys can all be dicks but it's okay because i'm still gonna collect.

I also made a video of my NES collection if you guys wanna see it lemme know.

T-T-T-Triple Post!!

[Berserker]

Man, that bandwagon loaded up quick.

Was the meaning of this thread that immediately obvious? I guess I must have missed something, because to me it just read like purely random nonsense.

[Pezcore343]

If you showed up late then most of the OP was deleted so it may not make much sense. I'm in the same camp as you so I'm not sure what was originally going on.

[PFflyers93]

All I did was try and post something I found and then everyone started making fun of me and shit. But whatever. I'm still happy I got my game. :P

Super Mario Bros. & Duck Hunt is almost certainly the most common cartridge-based game ever produced, there are millions, possibly tens of millions, of them that were made (SMB sold 40 million copies worldwide, but only the US had the combo cart, and not all of them were combo carts here, just most, so I don't know what the total would be, but it's huge). That's why there was this response, I'm sure.

Still, they are two great games, some of the most classic and influential games ever, for SMB particularly so anyone picking it up should be happy. One of these was one of the first things I got after getting my NES last year, for sure... I think I paid $1, maybe $2. That's about the worth.

SMB2 and 3 are probably worth like $5 each, though. It's funny, SMB3 is one of the best-selling non-packin game ever, selling like 18 million copies worldwide, but copies of the game seem much harder to come by than SMB/Duck Hunt carts... they're still common, but not AS common. Does it say that people are more likely to hang on to SMB3, or that SMB/DH is just that omnipresent?

Unfortunately, with time, the ability to play half that cartridge diminishes due to the lack of lightgun and Flat panel HDTV compatability.

Thanks for giving a well thought out post.

It's not that I thought it was super rare it's just that,it's my favorite NES game. But I didn't know that about SMB3 so thanks for the info.

You were being mocked when you were asked if it truly was a cart with 3 games, and then begged to sell the game for 2k monies. It was just a little silly to see you respond to it as though it was a serious question. All in good fun.:cheers:

Well, shit. I was all hell bent on trying to stop you from collecting, but apparently that's not going to happen. I guess I'll just go throw myself off a tall building, now, because my life no longer has purpose.

Bye!

[crom]

i kid you not, I bought the mario bros/ duck hunt/ world class track meet for 1 cent at a retro store in downtown hamilton called letterbox... i saw it in the bargin bin and it didnt have any price tag on it and when I brought it to the guy he was like...

whats the lowest demonmination you have?
I said a penny... he said... alright sold...

[Swamperon]

I miss bargain bins, they seem to be a rarity near me in the UK :(

[Atarileaf]

Ok maybe I'm dense but what is this thread about? Its called hidden and someones holding a mario cart. Um. . .

Pro tip: Any time you read a post from me and I'm writing in a manner grammatically inconsistent with the way in which I normally write, then odds are good that "im puling(sp?) ur leg lol".

Either way, I hope there are no hard feelings.

well don't sweat that... there's a small group of assholes around here who just troll around the forums pissing on posts like that, but the majority of people here are nice normal folks who are very supportive and encouraging

That's a pretty good little starting collection. I started with about the same amount of games in 2003 when I decided I'd start to collect NES games and Now I'm 18 and I have over 200 NES games (I'd say more like 225-ish) including one prototype game and a few unlicensed games. I haven't been constantly collecting NES games, but I'd like to say I've gotten a nice collection from 6 years of on and off collecting.

If you'd care to, you can check out the online rarity guide for your games. I like to keep up with which of my games are hard to find. It's nice to have Batman Returns. Like I said I've been collecting NES games this long and I just got a copy of that game at a flea market a month ago. It's your rarest game at a 4 out of 10 (uncommon) and it's pretty fun.

If you'd like to get some more games, try checking out Goodwill and Salvation Army. You can get NES games for a decent price on eBay and it's cheaper to guy big lots of games.

I have no idea what your original post was about, but I'm glad to see another teenager interested in NES games. Most of my friends think I'm crazy to like old games.

Thanks. I hope to find some more games soon. My original post was that I was gonna buy some games for 30 dollars (I didn't know it was a ripoff) and everyone starting making fun of me lol. But thanks for the friend invite.

[BetaWolf47]

Here's what I'm curious about: What are you storing your games in? Did someone build that for you, or is that a special case specifically for NES games?

Also, first thing you need to do: check your games. See how many screws each one has. Some variations are a heck of a lot rarer than others.

Are you referring to the black "Nintendo" sleeve in the OP's pic? If so, those are what came with the games originally - the boxes for NES games were just plain cardboard, so it was sort of standard to include those plastic sleeves to store your cartridges in long-term. They didn't always say "Nintendo" on them, though. Most of the ones I still have are just plain black.

I'm not thick. I've got about 10 of those myself, 2 with the Nintendo logo. Did you not notice how that little cabinet he had seemed perfectly sized for 10 or so NES games? That could be an obscure gaming accessory that none of us know of.

[Berserker]

No, I didn't - the picture's pretty dark on this monitor, but all that was apparent was the cartridges and the standard sleeves, so I could only assume that's what you meant. I checked it again and the closest thing to that I can see is a black splotch in the corner, is that what you meant? Anyway, third-party cartridge racks from the NES days weren't all that uncommon, but it'd be interesting to see which ones have survived up to now.

I don't see ANYTHING in the OP's photo that is anything close to a case. Just some games, a carpet, and some hideous wallpaper.

You can see it better in my video I posted.

But to answer your question I honestly think it's some sort of custom made rack. The rungs are like the ones in this picture http://g-images.amazon.com/images/G/01/askville/190247_834835_mywrite/b0ec_1_b.jpg but with spaces for 7 games, overall it can hold 21 total 'cartridges'.


It has the says Nintendo on it but anyone could plop that on. It's made of plastic I believe. I would take pictures of it but my only camera is my webcam so they came out crappy and you can't tell what's going on.

I've got a case just like that but for SNES games. I'll get a pic of it if you want. It's in the original box and everything. It might be the same thing you're using.

Thanks for that. Between all the confusion going on in this thread yesterday and today, I was beginning to question my own sanity.

Great album avatar, BTW.

[Zing]

In your video you talk about how the non-Nintendo labelled sleeves are "not official". The only difference is that the Nintendo labelled ones were only included with first-party (Nintendo published) games. Third-party games had the blank ones.
