Ok seriously, someone needs to link me to an article or video that explains why Earthbound is talked about in such a way by people on GAF... makes it sound as if it was an orgasm in cartridge form.
It's only the best game ever.
How many rare SNES games are there? I feel like all these games aren't going to add anywhere near 25k.
Should I?..
Serious question.. I'm doubting as I've always wanted the entire NA collection of SNES games but I live in Europe so I don't think it will work over here? (even if i'm using an american SNES because the different electricity over here) Pardon my ignorance if I'm asking something stupid.
EDIT: 35$ per game? It's not worth it is it?
I built this set to obtain scans and clean verified dumps for every game, which I have now finished. The scans are appearing on snescentral.com, and the improved emulation will appear in the next higan/bsnes release. I will be using 100% of the profits from this sale to do the same for the European and Japanese sets next.
Some of the games included are worth far more than $35 on the market, and he seems confident that he's actually selling them for less than they're worth. I don't personally know though.

Some of the relly rare games can fetch 10k+.

I hope to god he doesn't get screw by some asshole on Ebay. The way they treat sellers is fucking stupid.
This collection is misleading. It's not truly "complete."
Maybe if this collection included Betas, Prototypes and Revs it would be worth 25K, but right now?
Not a chance. He's missing a good 231+ cartridges if he really wanted to have a COMPLETE NTSC-U collection.
Someone correct me, but weren't a large number of these games donations for the purposes of dumping and backing up?
And didn't he explicitly say he WASN'T going to do this?
He's been saying selling the set on to finance continuing the project was his goal for ages
Good luck finding originals of those betas, prototypes, and revisions... and all of those together would easily best his asking price.
Guess I haven't been paying attention to him much. (Admittedly, I don't like him too much. What he does is impressive, but I'm still irritated that he places so much emphasis on being true to the original when his Der Langrisser patch has a distinct case of "there, I fixed it" as opposed to leaving the misattributed troops.)
He should give a discount for making the purchaser take Secret of the Stars.
That's why he says on his site that he'd rather sell outside of eBay.
First post should probably be linking there: http://byuu.org

It's a complete US retail collection. He doesn't give a shit about betas or prototypes because they're not relevant for his purposes.
Isn't it like, 500 bucks? Earthbound isn't that much.
Just seeing that Earthbound box gives me chills. Ooooohhhh man.
What about revisions? It looks like he just has one copy of each game.
I don't think anybody gives a shit about that stuff. On the Nintendo Age Forums they consider a complete set the 715 games listed by Nintendo plus eight other games that were licensed but not listed by Nintendo for some reason. So that brings the total to 723, so by their standards there are two games missing.

Exactly how many years did it sit in this store wasting away!
No golden Zelda. no sale.
I've never seen a golden Link to the Past. Does such a thing exist?
How many years has it sat sealed away in your collection?
If I came across such a find as yours I'd make an unboxing and let's play video to watch collectors cringe and entice new people to the game.
I understand why people collect sealed games, but I prefer to have playable copies and to share them with friends and family.
Amir0x said:I already had a copy of Earthbound-in-the-box, but not sealed
My best gaming discovery of all time was going into a KayBee Toy store when it was closing down, when the company was going out of business, and seeing a sealed copy of the giant Earthbound box on top of the shelf behind the counter selling for $4.99.
I already had a copy of Earthbound-in-the-box, but not sealed, and I took that puppy and thought I was the luckiest man on Earth. It was like it called to me, waiting all those years so that just the right Mother fan would walk in and appreciate it. Exactly how many years did it sit in this store wasting away!
Why did Earthbound come in a gigantic box? Was there a strategy guide packed in there?
I dont see the real Earthbound box. And I see two Zelda link to the past boxes, so I bet a few of the games are doubles?
EDIT: Actually I guess that is the real box. Looked smaller at first glance
