Okay, think of this scenario:

Your at a goodwill, and nothing good comes up. You see a toaster NES, hookups, 1 controller, 25 bucks. You think yah right! and leave.

What is wrong with this scene???

You didnt look inside. Most of the time, an NES game is in the system w/o you knowing it. I was at a goodwill, and saw an NES behind the counter. I asked the guy what the price was on it. he said its broken. I asked him to look inside the system. he found the NES game "commando". 2.99.

If you read another thread of mine, youll know that my mom found me 2 free nes systems with some games. After putting them away, i looked inside the systems. There was Hogans alley in one system, and tetris in the other!

So, this is just a reminder to look inside the NES at all times.

Ah yes, whenever I buy a saturn I always check if there's still a game in it or the vcd card.
never had any luck. :-(

Thats the exact same advice my mom always used to tell me about girls I went on dates with.

And by 'mom' I mean gym coach and by 'girls I went on dates with' I mean my pants.

I bought an apple once, and looked inside.

There was a worm in it. x_x

Got a surprise when I powered up my 3DO I received recently. It powered up to Twisted, which was not part of the auction. Free game for $0!

i always look inside. out of every nes i've seen in the wild that was too expensive to buy, 99% of them had mario 3 in there.

Thats better then me bitting into a cherrie and only finding HALF a worm. Hmmm... wonder where the other half went?

And someone's 2x SE for $0.25 each doesn't qualify? :P

Oh well, how does one find out of Saturn has a VCD card?

And my most unusual find looking inside a console: one lost Space Armadea and 2x Utopia overlays found inside an Intellivision. I had to take it apart to extract the overlays, all 3 wer ein NM shape.
