You really should look thru the game titles you have and check the values of them...some specific and rare games are worth more coin than you kin imagine......like $10 000+ per cartridge kinda coin.

Check the links below for some details as to what to look for....and good luck.

It was a good 'ol craigslist find. Guy was about 35-40 and had stored it in a barn for 20 years.. I about shit myself when I saw the games still in the boxes. The ones in the boxes are complete, sleeve, games, instructions, advert slip and the foam spacer piece..

I am also on the prowl for the super Nintendo's in the boxes too. Start getting before the NES craze spills over to the SNES and N64 etc

Jebus H Christ....any of them unopened??!!

If yer lucky and have the right games, you could end up buying a fucking house off this.....

Score!
I am in my mid thirties. Pretty much the coolest age ever as far as living through the evolution of gameplay.
I was at a younger (early twenties) friends house and thought it was cool how crazy he was over the eight bit system and rare games.
Spent a fun evening over there with a bunch of acid and paperboy.
Don't remember it being so hard.

lovely, we had the power pad set for christmas one year in the 80's, good stuff with track n field haha =)

the black cartridge in this picture, does that happen to be the tengen licensed version of tetris? =)

got 2 nes systems right now myself, only 1 is hooked up, i'm running a special cartridge called "midi nes" for music purposes, the second is for games...shame the zapper doesn't work on flat panel tvs

p.s. emulated nes sound sucks hehe...emulators are fun though, especially with some of these super rare hard to find carts

I hear ya on the damn zapper, no glass to reflect, no worky worky.
I was excited to find a box set with a pad. Pad had never been opened. The triple game was a perk.
Damn shame it's not tetris, its some baseball game. To lazy to go look at the game tonight.
BUT
I did pick up the UFORCE and a unopened copy of Friday the 13th. Paid $50 for the pair.
The UFORCE is in LNIB condition. Seen handful of UFORCES on the web and youtube, but I haven't seen one with the original instructions and players sheets. Critical to putting the programming selectors on the right number to insuring the controller works right. Most people say "Play around and hope for the best"
Not only did it have ALL the written literature, it had the advertisement cards, and mail in warranty cards. Even down the the paper thin foam sheet that goes between the unit when it's folded up. The guy told me he never played with it. Being a kid, he did open it, but never used it. It shows, not a single page creased or a page with a ruffed up edge. BEAUTIFUL if you ask me.
Ill throw up some pictures in the morning.

Wow nice classic find there. I know of a nostalgic video game garage that would have loved that buy. I can see the letter now from the association "please refrain from all your classic video nostalgic fun the neighboors are annoyed by your laughter and enjoyment".

Yeah, finding rare and/or mint video games from the 80's is like finding rare near mint golden age comic books. Man.... the bloated price of goods that we really don't need boggle the mind.
Who has time for video games when you have , , , , , , , , , , , and to do?!
