From the same place i got the Game Savers last weekend i just recently found a few N64 imports that i never knew they had.
I grabbed
F-Zero X
Super Smash Bros
Mario Kart 64

They still have Star Fox 64, some baseball game, Geomon 13(i think it was anyways) and 2 other games i don't remember .

So my question is can i play them on my US N64?

They told me i could play them via gameshark but i only want to use that as a last option. (Long story short last time i used gameshark with N64 i could only use mario in SSB no matter who i picked.)

They also said i could take the top of the case off and they would play that way. (The only visible difference between carts is the placement of notched indents on the bottom of the cart) This i would rather do than use the gameshark. But i would still rather ask here before trying anything.

Someone must have some experiance with this.

Also does anyone know the approx value or rarity of any of those games?

All super common N64 games (haven't picked up any myself, though), but were they complete/nice, cart only, or something inbetween? They're still worth a LITTLE money, though probably about/less what you paid.

As for playing them...there should be a couple tabs in the bottom of your "bog standard" US console that you can melt/take off; you'd have to do that to make the carts fit. There's no region lock chip, so go bonkers.

Yup, just cut the square tabs out of the inside of the cart slot and they'll work fine. No region lockout on the N64.

They are all CIB for the most part the boxes are in great condition.
A few presure dents in one of them.

I payed 20 bucks for Super Smash Bros and F Zero X and 10 for Mario Kart 64.

Thanks for the info guys.

Well, by eBay prices you're not doing too horribly - it seems to me importers don't like getting rid of their N64 games for less than $30 each. Well, there's also the savings of not needing to deal with shipping (or worry about it). So...not bad! I would've paid that myself.

You think you could snag that copy of Goemon for me next time you see it?

I replied to your PM.
We will see what happens...

I will definately check into it for you though.
