I know this is stupid, but I'm not sure where else to post this to get traffick. If there are any on Atlanta's Craigslist, it means I've already called them all and they are sold (but ads are still up:mad). I'm in Midtown and will drive (relatively far) to give you cash! I'm a great buyer/seller as many ATL people here can vouch for who I've 'transacted' with. If you have any/all of the following, please let me know.

Super Nintendo Entertainment System
One controller
Cables (power, R/F, etc.)
Super Mario World Game
Kirby Super Star (8 in 1) Game

Pawn shops have a slew of them.

But they'd be awesome at the twitch games!

As for finding a SNES, you may have to try garage sales. As the kids that played them got older, now the remaining functioning ones are fairly valuable. Alternatively, you could emulate it or play the games on a Wii.

Call around to a couple Gamestops, I know I've seen some old school stuff in there from time to time. But yeah, it's not cheap. If the games are available for Wii download you'd probably be best off just going that route.

Isn't this more of a want than a need? You need air, water, food, etc. But a SNES? Nah, that definitely doesn't fall under the "need" category.

Ok, ill let you in on my secret hideout of games/systems. 'Console Concepts' on Barrett Parkway right in front of the mall behind that AppleB's.

You happen to have any old regular NES games you are looking to get rid of, I collect them.I have a few SNES games/console I would trade for the right games.

I'm actually really glad I saw a post like this. I never hear ppl talking about playing video games on car forums.

edit: tpat lol

I have my old SNES upstairs on my 19" tv. I play some of the games every so often. Mainly when my younger brother comes over....memories, ya know?

Ah, yes. Many memories of FF6 and Chronotrigger.

i was just playing chrono trigger the other month that is one of my favorites also.

A sega genesis on the other hand is a need. I still play mine quite frequently as it is very entertaining. Too bad they try selling used games for $10-$20 or I would have a ton.

BAH, go old school Joey. Get an old Atari 2600 or even better yet an old ColecoVision. If you were really baller back then you'd have the Adam computer add-on to the ColecoVision too. :buttrock

I have an atari back home also;). We have the controllers for pong but no game. Pac-man and space invaders do kick ass though.

Donkey Kong, Zaxxon and centipede rocked back then. Also the ColecoVision back then had the far superior graphics. We had the RadioShack port of the Intellivision called Tandyvision before we got the ColecoVision.

One of the cool things about the ColecoVision was that it could play all of the Atari games if you have the Expansion Pack #1. :buttrock

Well hell I need to get one then. The price of old stuff now is outrageously high. I am taking something off your hands that hasn't seen daylight in centuries and they want to charge outrageous amounts of money.

One saturday I was flipping channels and found this series of shows about the early days of old computers and game systems. It was like "Behind the Music" for computer nerds. They did Atari, Sega, Nintendo, Apple etc. each in their own show. It's about the only thing I've watched on G4TV since back in the old TechTV days. It was very cool to hear the "inside" scoop of what was going on back in the day from some of the people involved.

Good luck finding a working ColecoVision, much less any of their games. My parents sold off all that back in the late 80s at a yard sale. If you do find one it will be a rare thing and worth a lot of $$$ to the right collector.

I never even think of watching G4TV, but that series would be pretty cool to watch. I'll have to check Comcast OnDemand to see if it's on there.

Well, Coleco came along a year & change after Intellivision, so it's was sort of a "next step" in graphics, rather than a true contemporary. Intellivision pulled the same trick on the original Atari, really. Atari eventually got the point, and started allowing licensed versions of their games for Intellivision. Even so, Intellivision's baseball and football games were the best of the era for quite a while.

I wonder if I still have my old Intellivision cartridges sitting in a box somewhere? :ponder

If I could find a working console, that would be all kinds of badass! :buttrock

ECON 101 my man... I gots + you wantz + nobody else gots one = jou payz me whats I wants or.
The demand is very low and so is the supply so in theory it should cost next to nothing (I got an A in 101 and never opened the book;)).

Ebay can support all of your needs. I actually watched a long show on tv about how ebay was such a crazy operation and how they were taking over a lot of markets.

Hm. I'm not much into the ebay thing. I have a colleague who lives and dies by his auctions, and when he gets onto the subject, he's half-crazy with fanaticism. Doesn't seem like my cup of tea. :rofl

Yeah I know, that's why we upgraded to the ColecoVision. I agree though the sports games were fu*king awesome on the Intellivision. Definitely the best of the best back in the day.

If you do find a working console, I see an old fekkers game night at the Wha household!!!

How do you know the demand is low? Just because it's not splattered all over the front pages of newspapers and magazines doesn't mean it's non-existent or low. I know people who have paid $$$ for TRS-80's, Tandy CoCo's, and Apple IIC's. It's all in the collector.

You sure about that? Just in our tiny little slice of the metro here we've apparently got four or five guys who yearn for the fidigity, silly graphic, stupid storyline games of the late 70's & early 80's. Never underestimate nostalgia as a motivating force.
I don't remember what grade I got in Econ but never bothered to take the 101 class...

I used the demand as being low because it is not something that people readily want. But yes I did underestimate the nostalgia factor of the first few gaming platforms to the older crowd. I can guarantee you if I told anyone about a colecovision most people would think I am crazy. They seem to believe that the first system was nintendo.

Actually the first gaming systems were the Magnavox Odyssey, Pong and the Coleco Telstar. Those are what's considered 1st Gen systems. The NES is 3rd Gen and the SNES is 4th Gen.

See that's part of the problem with you kids today. Y'all have no sense of history.

Pong= greatest game ever. I actually did a report on it for a class pretty crazy to see how much effort went into what is now played during the loading of a few games.

That game does have some interesting stories behind their making, as do many of the original Atari stand-up arcade games. I've got a file around here with 4 or 5 games that used to take up huge boards to play, that now - whole and complete, all features intact - taken together, comprise no more than 1.2 MB of disk space. :eyecrazy

The evolution of video games is a more of a testament to the exponential increases in computing power than many people even realize them to be. :ponder

It is unbelievable how far technology has come just in the last 25 to 30 years. Most of the stuff we are talking about was around before most of these kids were thought of, much less before they were born.

I remember Saturday mornings getting dropped off at the local arcade and playing all the video games I could for $10. This of course was back in '80 - '82 time frame. Qix, Joust, Zaxxon, Galaga, Donkey Kong, etc.

A computer back then was an 8088 processor with 16K to 32K of RAM, no hard drive, dual 5 1/4" floppies and a tape drive. If you were lucky you had access to a 100 baud cradle modem. Now there is more processor power and memory in a cell phone.

We can settle this in the Street with a duel.

Qix was one of my all time favorite games. Did you ever own a Coleco Electronic Quarterback? I used mine so much the screen became one large pixel. Damn that was a fun game to have as a kid.

It really is amazing at how far technology has come. It's also good to grow up during that time too. Before cell phones and call waiting, before microwaves and ice makers in refrigerators, before fuel injection and other advances. We got to see them happen. We knew how to have fun without relying on technology too.

More like slingshots, BB guns, firecrackers, smoke bombs, etc. Alcohol came at a later time along with girls and cars.

Those were fun too bad they are starting to get rid of a ton of cool toys because "kids can hurt themselves". Prime example is the all metal Tonka truck, kids get pinched and hurt by them so they don't sell them near as much. Oh well tons of kids now play more video games then you can imagine. This is why I don't play Halo any more. I just got sick of being killed by little kids frequently no matter how hard I tried.

Galaga was "my game". Not too long ago, I walked into a pizza place with my family and my sisters kids. We ordered our pies and I noticed the place had a traditional stand-up Galaga. I was all "Hell yeah!" and broke out the quarters. The kids all played on like $5 but I played one game and finally died when everyone else was already eating. My kids hadn't ever seen "that" dad... But the controls all worked well and I was in the zone... God that felt good. Just like old times...



And to think, the Apollo guys went to the Moon with even less than that! :eyecrazy

That idea was on my mind the whole time we were in the space area of the Air & Spae museum recently. Huge fighter test-pilot balls or not... If they asked me to cross the STREET in those "ve-hicles" I'd tell the slide-rule and taped glasses guys to piss-off... Those guys were nuts!

My daughters love to go play those old stand-up video games with me. There are a few places around town that still have them in decent condition too.

Blowing up model airplanes and green army men in mock battles was so much fun. SAMs and A2A/A2G missles were bottle rockets and roman candles

We used to have a galaga machine at the bar I worked at. I got real good at the game as did everyone that worked there. There is a company that sells a table looking one with galaga and pacman which were some of the most entertaining games ever(I was always a huge pacman fan).

ever find one?

See that's part of the problem with you kids today. Y'all have no sense of history.

Man I don't know what half these games are you ol'timers are talking about. I wasn't even born until 86 :(. All I know is I really want (NEED) an SNES and can't find one. That Kirby Super Star game is nothing short of incredible. It's going for like $30+ on eBay though :nono. But I am willing to pay $50 for the system w/ super mario world. ANYONE??

I also emailed a couple people on Craigs but no response yet. I hate that, they post their item for sale, I tell them I want to buy it for more than what they're asking, and they don't get back to me. Do they want to sell it or not?

Still need one....ANYBODY?? :help

...I tell them I want to buy it for more than what they're asking...


they probably think its a scam.

they probably think its a scam.

+1, why would you offer to pay more than they're asking? Do you hate money? If you want, I can take some of yours. I kinda like it.

:lol Yeah I know, I love money too, but there's a reason. I was making sure if someone offered to buy it at the same time that I made a bigger offer to automatically get it. What's an extra $5 to secure a deal?...
But yeah, someone from Craigs is meeting me at Perimeter tomorrow and I'm pickin' er up. SNES + 2 controllers + super mario world = $55 FTW:D
Tomorrow night I'll be in super mario land.

Offering to pay more thant the asking price sounds really scammy to me.
"I'll gladly deposit ten Million dollars into your account if you'd just kindly send me seven back..."
