(Here come the flames).

Anyone with two sealed copies of Takin' It To The Hoop deserves to be flamed.  Hell, you're practically begging for it!

Hahahhaahhahahahaa.

Aww but one is the US version and the other is the Canadian version.  The boxes are different and I'm a sucker for variations.  :-"
All is well. :)

You know, I like to have Canadian boxes as well, since I didn't even know they existed until a few years ago. It's neat to see how they squeezed all that text on the back :).

All is OK.

Yup, usually the same pics will be on the back of the box but the upper 2 pics will have the US text and the lower 2 pics have the french text.  All of the text is super small.  It's pretty cool really.
All is well. :)

If you consider having a collection thats worth a few thousand dollars a high roller then you need a better job my friend! :P

Love the pic by the way.  He is actually wearing a proximity suit, I have one in my garage.  I used to be a fireman.

Most expensive was Dynastic Hero: $400
Magical Chase $225
Super Air Zonk: $225 (was the last game I needed if I can recall, so I wen't a little higher)
M&M III : $150

Everything else was $100 or cheaper if I remember correctly.

Yeah, I know.  You probably got them alot cheaper.  May I ask what the most you paid was?
All is well. :)

The most I've paid for, so far, was $75 for Drac X. However, I realize that if I want to own some of the more rare games I'm going to have to dig deeper into my wallet. I'm in no rush though - slow and steady.  :mrgreen:

Probably a good idea.  It seems SOME of the prices have to come down a little on the higher end stuff. 

Actually this would make for an interesting topic.  Lemme make one.
All is well. :)

That's been my thing as well on old console lately.It is best to stick what you can buy then buy the expensive titles later on.I have been looking at maybe buying some pce games again,but then i see the price and i cringe and i slowly step away.

Do that, and I'll take them off your hands. :)

I think we used to have a list here (or at magicengine) of all the verified Canadian releases.

A while back in chat Zeon mentioned to me that manual scans would be nice.  Have manual scans for the US games been scanned already somewhere?  Would anyone find this useful?  It would be a fair amount of work (and I would have to buy a scanner) so if I would be wasting my time please let me know. 

Would anyone like to see it done?
All is well. :)
