FINALLY found a cheap and real copy of the Zelda Minish Cap today! Every copy I have ran into was either $20+ or fake, glad I finally got the real deal for a good price :)

Great game! Enjoy that.

You just made me realise I never cheked mine to see if it was genuine or not. I was especially worried since I don't remember AT ALL where I got it (I was reorganizing my games one day, and when I saw it I was all "What, I have Minish Cap? Okay then"). But seems like it's genuine, phew!

I am always careful with this will all GBA and DS games, especially the popular and expensive titles. About 6-month ago I almost bought a fake Minish Cap for $20, but luckily I checked the cart out thoroughly before checking out. The worst are the Pokemon games; I actually see more fakes then authentic ones, really sad :(

Yeah I picked up a bootleg Pokemon game in a yard sale last year.  Was surprising to me because I guess I just didn't expect to see them around here - and it looked like it was originally purchased from GS.  Luckily I bought it with several other games and paid very little for it - maybe a buck or so - so it was no loss other than the game itself, which I tossed.

Yeah, I am really careful too now. I've never been screwed yet, luckily, but I know that GBA games are way too easy to bootleg.

Are DS games easy to bootleg too? It's the first time I've heard of it  :-\

Yep, the only ones that can't be bootlegged (as far as I  know) are 3DS games.

Was VERY happy to finally get this for a really good price (< $20).  :D  It's an extremely nice set, and I love me some Amano artwork!

While I've been ill, I managed to still add a few PS1 games to the library - Jersey Devil, Tai Fu, and Spiro Year of the Dragon! Trying to cover a lot of PS1 platforming ground.

EDIT: Of course I would forget my coolest find of the year. Darksiders II, brand new for $5.

I picked it up as well.  I almost bit when it was about $30 or so a week or two ago, but passed on it.  Glad I did, since i was able to get this better deal on it.  Should look great next to my Vampire Hunter D artbook of Amano's work.

I played a whole lot of Monster In My Pocket as a kid. Nice looking graphics and sound for an NES game.

I've seen several recent 'overlooked game' reviews that featured it, so I was excited to come across it this morning and add it to my collection.  That also only leaves 4 Konami games left for me to find.  Sadly, TMNT Tournament Fighters is still one of them  :(

I never put it together that he did the character designs for Vampire Hunter D, but now that you say it I can totally see it.  I bet that book is awesome.  :)

Why get Tournament Fighters on NES when you can get it for SNES or Genesis? They're MUCH better versions. Better graphics, better sound, and better controllers for a fighter (6-button in the Genesis's case).
