I once picked up a complete copy of Alundra at a flea market for $5 a couple years ago.

Classic Video Games / Re: Hardest games you've completed

@jobocan Any Ninja Gaiden will seem easier than the first, which I'm pretty sure you're alluding to level 6-2.

Battletoads in Battlemaniacs for the SNES. Very tough game at first, even had major problems in the Turbo Tunnel. But after plenty of practice, I finally beat it... only to get a lame ending.

> Oh wow.... This is the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen....
So I remembered there was a small game store within a video store that had a few old games near here (basically the only store in my whole city with old games). So I decided to check it out after work. They have a Bally Astrocade with 7 games for 300$, which, by my calculation, is slightly too high, but that's not the ridiculous thing there.
So I see a fairly okay condition copy of Mega Man X on SNES, and the first thing that catches my eye is the big sticker on it that says "special collector discount: 15% off!!!!". The price? 99.99$... And you're telling me THAT'S after going 15% off?
Seems people around here, even game store owners, REALLY are morons when it comes to game pricing.
That reminds me of this one old couple at a flea market nearby. They were selling old SNES and N64 games for terrible prices. Ocarina of Time (gray cart) was $30!

Sometimes I check out Play 'N Trade, even though I don't buy anything there. Sometimes you can find a good deal at a flea market. A couple years ago I got a complete copy of Alundra for the PS1 for only $5. And the other place I go to is the Estarland Warehouse in Fairfax.

General / Virtual Console games

Will there be a section for Virtual Console games, or do we just add a game to a specific collection? For example, I have Kid Icarus on the VC, but I added it to my NES collection.

Cool. I have a huge bunch of Nintendo Power magazines too. Even a couple of GamePro and Game Players magazines.

What about adding gaming magazines, such as Nintendo Power, GamePro, and EGM? Or is it just strategy guides that'll be listed?
