Just wanted to talk about this game shop I stop at from time to time and the games I recently picked up. On my way to work (30 minute gas eating drive) there is this little Game Shop owned by this -in my opining mentally insane- guy. He has about 500 NES games (about 200 not counting double and triples) I love this place though the guy is not to bad to talk to either lol He does put the rare titles aside for 15-20 bucks a pop but all the other carts are $5 even a pop. The best thing is his NES knowledge is how do you say not as good as some people on here. So I picked up Ghost N’ Goblins for a good $5 And the next best thing is about once a month he gets some new stuff. So I am always browsing. I also picked up Batman for $5 (on another topic I think this game is over-rated after playing it). But that’s my story he also had Maniac Mansion loose for $5 might pick it up.  ::)

Congrats on getting batman, it's surely one of the better NES games out there. I used to be, and probably still am, a fan of Sunsofts NES releases :-)

Cngrats on the finds man. The Batman games are surely superb.

@ Martin: Sunsoft rocks but Taito rules! :P

FACT.... Nothing beats SunSoft, Batman, Gremlins, Blaster Master you name it :-)

I'm a taito guy.
I didnt realize the first batman was sunsoft.  I ended up double checking it.  I'm used to most movie games being made by Ocean (shudder)

I like Capcom and Konami games myself.

haha yesterday i had a run in with a guy at a little game store in the mall here (st. cloud MN) and i asked him a few questions about some twin system (SNES & NES) and he was like yeah you're better of buying twin system because there were only 300 NES games released & over 500 nes games.. i was stunned about his knowledge :P and also they guy did not know what a Famicom was... You run a retro gaming store but don't know sh**?

Loose cartridges for like 5 - 9 dollars.. 90% off em.

90% off?! damn hook me up with a list of some games and buy and send them to me  ;) lol jk...but seriously. Yeah I am going to start looking for smaller game shops because the Flea Market around here you can catch 1 out of 100 good deals other than that they think there crap is gold its stupid.

I picked up Zelda: Wind Waker Factory Sealed here as well as Baiton Katoes *or however you spell it, for $20 a piece. Still thinking of getting the Maniac Mansion for $5

Great snag, Maniac Mansion is such a cool game.
