Title: good SNES games that aren't too pricey?
Post by: danny_galaga on February 01, 2009, 03:10:26 am: i fixed a workmates SNES on saturday, merely by giving her my spare N64 AV lead. she had the RF thingo and that was playing up. better off without it. those things suck. anyway, because she's cute, i thought i might pick up a game or two for her machine. she has

mario all stars
donkey kong country 2 and 3
earthworm jim
mario kart

im going to get streetfighter II (alpha would be great, but pretty rare and pricey)

any thoughts? emphasis on two player games...

Post by: SavannahLion on February 02, 2009, 06:20:19 pm: I haven't followed prices all that much, but maybe take a look at these?

Zombies Ate My Neighbors
Lost Vikings
Clay Fighters
Pocky and Rocky

Oh and the Williams arcade classics cart w/ Joust, Defender, Stargate and a couple others is really nice. Only about $5 or $6 too.

Post by: danny_galaga on February 03, 2009, 03:37:46 am: cool. only bomberman seems to be cheap on the ol ebay though. so maybe ill have to get out of the house and check out some shops! although of course, the shops tend to know what to price things at...

ive picked up street fighter 2 for a couple of quid. thats a start. shes younger than me, so she might kick my arse in that...

What I have found, over here at least, is that they are usually run by an older generation (hence the oldest) that don't pay attention to the internet. I've been to pawnshops with excellent condition NES carts with instructions for a $1 a piece with good games like the mario series, Zelda series, Metroid, etc. They were still there because the shop itself looked a little scary so people wouldn't patronize that particular establishment. All the new, nice looking shops usually sell on ebay at the same time, so they know what stuff is worth.

Post by: hypernova on February 03, 2009, 08:46:08 pm: SF2-Get the turbo/hyper fighting edition, or whatever it's called.

Mortal Kombat 2

Mario Kart

Contra III

TMNT 4

Secret of Mana is a good RPG to share

Technically, FFIII (VI in Japan) can be 2 player

Rampart, just for the 2 player

Super Mario World

Hint: If the place smells like ass, you're in the right place.

There's a pretty good vacuum repair shop that (still not sure how he does this) does pretty good business on the side as a pawn shop of sorts. That place smells rank. A smell that's a combination of old man's ass, fast food gone South, stale cigarette smoke and a hint of what I can only describe as the 70's.

i was looking at that first link and i thought 'holy crap! 89 euros!' then i realised i was looking at the 'weight' column ;D

Post by: danny_galaga on February 10, 2009, 02:04:07 am: well, SF II just arrived. tested it out after giving the contacts a really good clean, they were pretty grotty. i tested it as Ryu, guess who was my opponent, Blanka? ;D

damn, i was never great at the fighting games, but it looks like its pretty hard to get a 'haidukken' going with a joypad. i only managed it once, while Blanka gnawed my head off most of the time...

how DO you get a 'haidukken' on an SNES anyway?

Post by: shmokes on February 10, 2009, 10:50:58 pm: down, diagonal-down (toward opponent), right/left (toward opponent). Simultaneously with the last step there, you press a punch button.

Lost Vikings was a very good suggestion for a two-player game. It's all cooperative teamwork stuff. TONS of fun to play with a partner.

As for single-player games, check out Out of This World. It is brilliant, and the graphics/artwork are amazing. It's all rotoscoped.

I love Alpha 2 but the SNES version is an abomination :(

Post by: Lecithin on February 16, 2009, 08:16:22 am: Super Mario World
Secret of Mana
Lufia II
Super Baja Off Road
Baseball Simulator 1000
Zombies Ate My Neighbors
Super Mario RPG
Street Fighter 2
Secret of Evermore
Final Fantasy Mystic Quest
Zelda

Thought I'm not sure the price on some of those....
if price weren't a problem then the Final Fantasy Series and Chrono Trigger come into play
