I bought in-box copies of Alien Vs. Predator, Desert Strike, and Wolfenstein 3D for a buck each about 3-4 years ago at a yard sale. Right now the SNES is fully in the spotlight of nostalgia, but it's starting to move over to the PlayStation and N64. I imagine in a few years, we'll see prices start to come down. Back to reasonable levels? Probably not- even younger collectors lacking timely experience with the games have had 'these are good & valuable' hammered into their brains, that's not going away. There is definitely a re-settlement coming though, as we start to see what people who are playing as opposed to merely collecting/investing are willing to pay. |

Newer bigger and positively even better games in my opinion are going for a lot less for just about every single console except the Super Nintendo Usually it is the rich that purchase Super Nintendo games and NEO GEO. Super Nintendo games I just can't get into in which is why. I think they should go down in price unless your paying for more then one game per cartridge. there are better games in my opinion going for a lot less. Challenge and frustration should not cost an arm and a leg. at least NES games are not as high as the Super Nintendo. |

It is unfortunate that titles such as chrono trigger and earthbound even lose are pricy I'll give it that. That being said chrono trigger is better played on the ps1 or ds since they have more features and content compared to the original on the snes. Not to mention for gameplay sake just buy an everdrive same experience as the original better than emulation on pc or another console withouth the expense of many games. |

The current scene is a far cry from the glory days, that's for sure. Then again, the market/hobby basically shit the bed at some point in the late 90s-early 2000s when the common phrase "older games" became retro games & every clueless kid with a camera jumped on the YouTube train. Right up until about 15-20 years ago, nearly every yard sale and flea overflowed with cartridges. Things like ebay - and a bit later YouTube - put an end to this. |

And that's not even factoring in how easy emulation is for those systems. Really, the only reason to have retro carts is because you want to own the retro carts. If a person just wants to play them, there are so many more easier, cheaper options. |
