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

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.

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

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.

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.

I loved Super Spike V'Ball.  :D 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.
My past-life would've surely led to our demise, and I had left it not a moment too soon. Our escape, though dangerous, had gone well. The train ride, sunlight, and passing snow-covered pine trees came together in a flickering show of our bright, new future together. Her head rested on my shoulder as she soundly slept to the gentle rocking of the passenger car. We felt freedom. We felt peace.

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