From what I've read, it's exclusive to the Super Nintendo. It has something to do with improper amounts of fire retardant chemicals being mixed into the plastic which react with the air. That's why only some systems yellow, and sometimes only parts of a single system.Originally Posted by Sonicwolf
Have you ever seen an old Apple or Commodore Computer? Plastic yellows in general.

BF Bad Company from Gamecrazy. It really pisses me off when you ask for a used game because its not on the used shelf so they take it outta the drawers and they give you a rental case from HV, I don't care as much but I'm sure it pisses off alot of collectors or people that want their games mint. amirite?

Haha yeah my other SNES kicked the bucket so I'm using this temp one until I find a nice non yellow snes....awa! Anyways, I went to the flea market last Sunday and found some neat stuff including a 3DO console that didn't work at first but then it did after cleaning it a little bit.
3DO for 20 bucks with Cyberia inside.
Two guides for a buck a piece.
Two dollars each for these. I wanted a Donkey Kong Land with working battery as I'm using the other one as my first battery changing project just in case something goes wrong.
Super C for 5 bucks.
Super Adventure Island for 5 bucks as well. I love the music in this game!
These N64 games for 2 bucks a piece. I finally have a copy of Super Mario 64.
Needed an extra controller so I got this for 2 bucks
Then finally on the way home I stopped on play n trade and got these games for four bucks each. I had a blast playing Final Fight 2 after wards.
Well that's about it I hope you guys enjoyed the photos.
I would've bought them all, even though I don't currently have a way to play MVS carts either. It's a good excuse to get an MVS system in one form or another.
I just game across a yellowed PS ONE today. It was sad...
I think I remember seeing that happen to Coco 2 and 3 computers too.

Yard sale from this morning:
Zelda: Minish Cap (GBA) .25
Zelda: Four Swords (GBA) .25
Second Minish Cap in the past two days. Good stuff.
I was thinking of grabbing a few but none of my favorite titles were there so I thought it better to pass. The last thing I need is another arcade cabinet right now (space constraints) or more game stuff I can't use at the moment.
Stopped off at a Rummage Sale on my way back from the post office this morning. Nothing gaming related aside from 2 aftermarket ps1 controllers that I passed on, and this that I picked up. Woman was asking 10.00. I asked her if it still worked and she said she tested it last night night and was working great, then she offered it to all to me for $5.00 so I bought it.
Yardsales 7-18-09
Pac-Man World (Complete, Greatest Hits) - $1 [IAP]
Didn't have have much time to go yardsaling this week so I just went around town and didn't go to much more then a dozen sales and I actually found this as the only Playstation game I saw (shortly after 10) at the last sale I went to.
the hv sale is jumping my count up on some fun games:
NBA Street V3 (GCN) [game only]
I got this because I love the nba street series, and the gc version has nintendo characters as playable characters. plus, it is some homage to my first gc game, which was nba street. there was some deal with gamecube where you get 2 free games. i got mario party 4 and nba street when they did that.
Stuntman: Ignition (360) [complete]
I loved the ps2 version, and a complete version for 5 is too good to pass up since I loved the first one so much
Amped 3 (360) [game only]
I love the amped series. I am currently playing through 2, and saw 3 chillng there and could not pass it up
Phantasy Star Universe (360) [box and game]
I think I am down to 2 or 3 Sega games left on 360 now. This game goes for 15-20 normally everywhere I look, so 5 is an awesome price
Juiced 2 (360) [game only] no explanation. it was a racing game for 5. why not
Splinter Cell: Double Agent (360) [game only] I have been meaning to get a Splinter Cell game for 360.
Rainbow Six: Vegas (360) [box and game] I heard good things about the game, so why not
Before discount: $81
After discount: $35
I would say that is not a bad deal at all.
nes systems also yellow pretty commonly from what ive seen.
Autobots. Roll out.
Stopped by goodwill today. Only found one game, but it was a good find:
- Warsong (Genesis). -- $4
Almost passed this up, but then just decided to get it. Checked out the guide, and it's an R6. Glad I got it!
Also got the following for FREE! (my friend was moving and didn't want it):

Not a bad haul today for only $4.
I had a good day at the fleas today. My family was going to check out this flea we hadn't been to last week, but they were closing by the time we got home from church. I bugged them to go Saturday, so we went and it sucked. I got some tapes and vintage scifi books, but nothing game related. I saw Star Trek 25th Anniversary boxed with manual, reg cards, and 5.25" floppy. I would have picked it up, but I couldn't tell whose booth it was to go pay them, and it only had 5 disks. The 3.5" version is at least 7 disks... Funny observation - all the CDs and tapes I saw were either country or metal, not much inbetween O_o.
Since this one was rather small and there weren't many people there, we went to one of the bigger ones. Highlights of my day include several Rush albums and a good 2600 haul. Passed on a fat PS2 with network adaptor, asking $25. I thought about flipping it, but meh.
All of this was $35 after it was all said and done. After I passed on the PS2, I saw a 2600 sitting on a table, and asked about it. Then, I noticed a nice box of games behind it, including Dig Dug, Ms Pac Man, and some other more arcade-port looking carts. I offered the young guy $40 for everything, but he said he couldn't take it. He countered $50. I said I'd think about it, then went off to find vinyl. When I came back, an older guy had joined him. I look at the younger guy and offer $20 on just the games, which he had said $28 for before. The older guy sounded happy, and said I could get the system for another $20. I countered $35, and had a box of Atari to lug around. He kept the one stack of games that I saw before, about 7 or so, not a big deal.
Atari 2600 Vader with 2 joysticks and one pair of paddles
AC is bad, system works with my 2600 Jr AC though
Not sure if I'll be selling my Jr or this Vader, still thinking about it
45 Atari 2600 game carts

Thought I spotted a great find at a local garage sale today:
Xenogears (Black Label) - 25 cents
Unfortunately, when I checked it out, disc 1 was missing. I checked all the other game cases and it wasn't in any of them. I asked the homeowner if he had the disc and he said no, but since it wasn't complete I could have it for free.
Too bad it wasn't complete, as it's in excellent condition and everything else is there. It looks like disc 1 sells for $20 or so alone on ebay, so I may just sell or trade this as-is if someone needs the case, instructions and disc 2.
Also got God of War II (loose) for $3 at the same sale.
Game Freak's Saturday finds
A Couple things...
I went out to a bunch of thrift stores today, and scored a couple things. I got a promotional Star Fox 64 VHS, in EXCELLENT condition, a complete (mint?) copy of RC Pro Am, and a couple miscellaneous PS1 games, including NFL game day in the old school Playstation box, and "bazookatone" in an old "ridged" box. How much are each of these worth? I also got some sega master system game, hang on/safari hunt. I also saw at a thrift store an ROB with a missing battery cover and no attachments, and a power glove without the sensors. I have been dying for a power glove for years, and was completely bummed out when I couldnt find the sensors. I didnt buy these two items. How much are they worth? Would it be easy and cheap to find just the sensors?
The other PS1 games i got were:
Pitball
Tunnel B1
ONE
Forsaken
Ball Breakers
Bio Freaks

Man where in New England did you find that ROB? Ive been looking for one for ever, just to have one would be sweet. Im going to NH next week maybe my finds will be better.
hehe i doubt you wanted it though, it wasnt in the best shape, and it was $40...The seller was ridiculous, I'm suprised I walked out in one piece. Her rebuttal to her high prices was "eBay, craigslist"
