all i have to say is good luck because most earthbound related stuff is either difficult to find or extremely expensive

I think this is my favorite looking pong machine.

For the last 4 years I have been looking for a Neo Geo Pocket Color and for various reasons I have had deals fall through.

The original Revenge of Shinobi where they have Spiderman, Godzilla, and Batman as bosses. From what I can tell, there is no way to tell the difference until you buy it and bring it home. This means either paying a ridiculous amount online or just buying a whole bunch of copies and hoping.

There are a few for me. First of all is a decently priced copy of Earthbound. I haven't seen one in the wild in years.
Another one is the TMNT arcade game. The first one or turtles in time. It doesn't matter. I really want one. I have one sniffed out right now, but I don't know if he'll come off it enough for me to pull the trigger.
The last one I'll mention is Snow Bros on NES. I have seen just about every game at one time or another, but I have never laid eyes on this one. I'm gonna have to bite the bullet and buy it from ebay.  :(

A reasonably priced, near-mint copy of the black label version of Front Mission 5: Scars of the War. It's not necessarily impossible to find, but it's made much more difficult when a lot of sellers don't specify which version they're selling.

I'd just like a reasonably priced Famicom to NES adapter.  They seem to have gone way up in price, on eBay anyway.

Mega Man Legends 2 (PS1), at a decent price. It seems crazy that the average price for a used copy is more than the price for a copy of it when it was brand-new.

Famicom to NES or do you mean the convertors that come in some of the black box games? I see those often enough.

I would like to get The Ultimate Wizardry Archives on PC.  Every time I find one though it is really expensive.

I mean the actual adapters to play Famicom games on a NES.  Not the ones inside the games, although it would be cool to find one of those too.

I had one of each. Gave the official one to someone I used to hang out with, still have the one that came in the game I found. They are easily missed in black box games so if you visit the local gaming resale places, Im sure you can find one if you know what to look for.

I'd like to find a copy of Hagane for the SNES. I will never pay the $400 it seems to cost at the moment to get the game, but I'd like to have it none the less.

I would also like to find the foam eye piece and a stand for my Virtual Boy. Those items are too expensive for me to justify (considering I'm not actually going to play the VB very often, if at all).

I'd really like the arcade board for Haunted Castle. Plus the boards for Vs. Castlevania and Castlevania - Playchoice-10. I don't need the cabs to play them on, they'd be more for display than anything. As I'd be mounting them in shadow boxes and hanging them up on the wall. I think those are prolly my ultimate goals for my Castlevania stuff.

What are you willing to spend on the PlayChoice-10 Castlevania?  I'm always checking eBay and Craigslist for PlayChoice-10 games.  If I come across one, I'll point it your way.  Castlevania is usually kinda high.  If it's less than $50, I'll probably the one to keep it.  :)

Oh I have no idea what they are worth.

Castlevania is usually up around $85 - $120.  It ain't cheap.

Ah, kk. I'll keep it in mind. Seems on par with some of the other items in the collection. haha
