    Default My best find ever at a thrift store

    Today before I went to work I decided to stop by the Value Village across the street from my work(Andrews AFB) and this is what I found:

    Super Nintendo

    Star Fox Super Weekend Competetion Cart
    Star Fox
    Final Fantasy II
    The Magical Quest starring Mickey Mouse
    Super Ghouls N Ghosts
    The Lost Vikings
    EVO
    Road Runners Death Valley Rally

    Nintendo games

    The original mario bros
    Ghostbusters

    I got all the games for 1.61 a piece.

    How much is Star Fox Competetion Cart worth?

    Thanks

    I got a 2600 Mr. Do's Castle for 49 cents once.

    What is a Star Fox Super Weekend Competetion Cart? Is this different than a normal Star Fox cart for the SNES? I don't know much about the SNES.

    Default Star Fox

    @Sothy - You're right on the money.

    It is a timed cart like the DKC one. You play 5 minutes then the game freezes and your score is awarded. I believe these are fairly hard to come by compared to the DKC ones. As far as I know all the Competitiopn carts were supposed to be returned to Nintendo. The DKC carts were then sold back thru the Nintendo Power Club. I do not think the Star Fox ones were resold like that tho I could be wrong. It would explain the relative difference in rarity.

    Cool. Thanks for the info. Is the label a lot different than the normal carts? I bought a few NCAA Basketball games for the SNES at funco that say something like demo only on the label. I have not tried them yet. I have been busy moving.
