Now here is something you don't run into much anymore

jelloslug · 04/24/2014, 05:40 PM

I just acquired this little collectible thing:

I would have much rather found a case of Magical Chasii but it was cheap so I can't complain.

NecroPhile · 04/24/2014, 05:49 PM

Nice find, but you ruined it's vga-ness by cutting the label when opening the box.

Ray · 04/24/2014, 05:50 PM

Nice! I always wondered how these boxes even got into the second-hand market, you'd think stores would put extra stock into the bargain bin or something.

I would guess that it could have come from a bankrupt store or distributer.

synbiosfan · 04/24/2014, 05:53 PM

That's a very nice offer!

bob · 04/24/2014, 06:01 PM

the box is cooler than the contents.

kidding (sort of), I wanted to love sonic spike, but it's a bit too choppy for me. I love Super Spike V'ball on NES, but that may just be my rose tinted glasses and memories of playing it with a good friend I don't see anymore.

Nicely played, good sir. By the way, where'd you find this box of goodies?

Now, I can't reveal all my secrets. I can say that if you want your very own box of mediocre sports games I can broker a deal for the low, low price of $5000.

Is TV Sports Baseball an option?

Sorry, the only other one I can find is cases of Marble Madness.

^^ nah, not my bag.

I loved Super Spike V'Ball.

I never made it past the US Navy team (I always called them Mav and Goose) but the game was a great way spend a lazy Saturday afternoon. There should've been an OST for it as well.

thats cool only thing like that I've got is for the atari lynx

I bought some Neo-Geo aes games from japan and they cam packed in a Japanese Majora's Mask shipping box.

csgx1 · 04/25/2014, 02:00 AM

Nice find and generous of you to do a raffle. Finding new old stock now days of almost any old game is quite the score.

Me too, I love Super Spike V'Ball. I used to played this game a lot. If I remember correctly it features the Double Dragon twins, Billy and Jimmy. Technōs Japan at it's finest.

I aswell played me some super spike 4 players back in the day I had the combo soccer one
googled

Also at OP where did you make the find- any interesting backstory?

VestCunt · 04/25/2014, 03:50 AM

PRO TIP: Diskounters has been selling these for ten bucks on a little-known site calledAMAZONfor years. Jesus christ, you guys.

jordan_hillman · 04/25/2014, 04:52 AM

New old stock in 2014?! Hot damn!!! Congrats!

Nobody's pissing down both legs about this being the find of a lifetime, and we all know you can buy games on the internet, but how often do you see 'em still in the master carton? Were we supposed to tell jelloslug to fuck off?

Come on, you know that finding a sealed box of turbografx games in a random brick and mortar is way different than buying a copy off the internet... besides not everyone knows where all deals are sitting idle anyway.

No dig on Jelloslug, it was clever of him to realize that Diskounters would still have their original stock in original cartons, but it's surprising that three of you guys couldn't figure out where they came from.

I'm tempted to buy 6 more and just keep them sealed up....

Lol, I got stuff from Japan one time packed in a GameCube box. Eventually I picked up a Spice Cube to stick in there because I couldn't bear to throw it away.

BigusSchmuck · 04/29/2014, 01:37 AM

I almost bought The Sopranos game from him until I found out I played the game before and how bad it sucked. The guy has a lot of new sports games thats for sure.. Oh yeah and lots and lots of cpu heatsinks. Anyway a good deal indeed, always have suggested Amazon was a good place to get turbo games and even a few Saturn games from time to time.
