Anyone have an extra copy of Gradius?

This should be a fairly easy one to find. I checked last week and didn't see one locally. My game store has a big stash in the back, so I will ask to go through their stock and let you know what I find and a price.

My desire for CIB SEGA, had me ending up paying more for this game, than I thought I would.

If I can find a CIB, then mine will be for sale too. Just one of those titles that it's nice to have complete. In saying that though, I'd rather have it loose than not have it at all.

I'll be honest, I'm really excited about December. We are picking some great games. A few classics mixed in with a sort of hidden gem (UN Squadron). Voting for the PSX game is up.

Found a CIB Super Metroid for $110 locally if anyone is interested. Not sure if that is good or not, but it is there.

Also, I am not sure if anyone already mentioned it, but you can get SotN on the XBLA for 10 bucks in case you haven't got it physically or are still looking for it to join in.

i already have a deal in the works with singlebanana to nab a cart/manual copy, but i would love to get the box as cheap as possible. if it's in good condition (no stickers, big tears/rips, writing, water damage, smoke smell, etc) would you be able to ask if the seller could sell the box separately? i would be willing to pay as much as $50 at the very most for near mint condition, but obviously the cheaper you can get it the better. $30 or less would be nice.

I can certainly ask him for you. The soonest I could travel back to the store would be Saturday. I can let you know sometime after then.

UN Squadron IS NOT a Hidden Gem. It's a well known gem.

I picked up a complete copy earlier this year (or late last year) for $25 so this seems a bit high to me.

Thanks. I know there are a ton on eBay.  I don't have any local options and the stores "closest" to me have slim pickings and are usually way overpriced.

The price of this game kind of fluctuates according to sold listings on eBay. $20 isn't terrible, but not the best. Just trying to offer what I see locally to pass on to people who might need a trusted source to find a game. Everything I will offer on here is actual cost of the game locally.

So what's the deal with Raycrisis? Is it extremely rare? I've been looking at eBay for a week I've only seen 1 copy (and it's kind of expensive for a disc only.) Every other copy is the Japanese version.

They come up, but it's one of the tougher games to find. At around $40, it's not the cheapest..... I won an auction a few days ago for a copy of it, DarkStalkers 3, and RE: Nemesis for around $43. I have the other two games, so my copy will come out pretty cheap after selling those dups.

Damn, nice get.

Furthermore, I'm not sure how Fleach is running his competition, but on the retro side, what I am doing is collecting high scores each week and letting participants earn points (10 is the most, 5 the least) for each game determining where they finish. Since there are 4 games, and I doubt everyone will be able to get them all, I will drop everyone's lowest game score. This means that if you don't play one of the games, I will drop the "0" and you will still be in the competition. I'm thinking of doing a similar thing (like we did for SoR and Atari 2600 Activision) with the "Royal Rumble" days where you can improve your score in the last 3 days or so. Let me know if this makes sense and if you have any questions.
