The only good deal I ever got at Play N Trade was a cart only copy of Crusader of Centy for $1.99.
The last time I went there they had loose genny carts of sonic and some other games not worth mentioning. I might check it out again one of these days.
Were you the one who told me the one nearby sucked?Quote:

Yes that was me! I recall they had Virtua Racing for the genesis complete in box with everything for $1.99 (before they moved all their retro games behind the glass). I can't believe I passed that one up!
Yeah! Tyrants isn't all that great.Quote:

I know. I'm just saying you'd picked up a not so great game, and left a good one behind.Quote:

They usually go for around $70 on ebay.
I passed up a copy of VR for Genesis once, they wanted $3 for it at Berlin Flea Market 20 minutes away. But then I got the 32x version and I found out, it's not that great of a game.Quote:

I still wish we had our Play N trade here in San Antonio. It was literally right across the street from my house....Its just to bad the owner was a complete and utter moron and the store failed in under a year. The meathead wanted to be just like gamestop, but without the selection and higher prices.
It was cool walking in there seeing genesis games and systems though......What a waste of potential.:daze:
I've finally been to my local Play N Trade and found some nice deals:
Contra: Hard Corps. (loose)-- $7.99
Unreal Tournament (cracked case)-- $4.99
Thanks to a buy-one-get-one-free sale they were having, the following titles were free of charge:
Clue (w/instructions and replacement case)-- originally $2.99
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (loose, "Not For Resale" label)-- originally $0.99
Other great things they had (but I didn't buy):
-- 10-15 Sega Master System games w/box and instructions for $2.99 a piece (except for one).
-- A Master System light gun for $4.99.
-- Sonic 3 for $4.99 loose.
-- Paperboy (Majesco reprint w/torn label top) for $2.99 loose.
-- Lots of NES games loose for $2.99 and up. Boxed for $0.99 and up.
-- Star Wars for the 32X at $4.99 loose.
-- Many uncommon Atari 2600 titles for $1.99 and up.
@QuickSciFi: I can see why you'd travel 400 miles to this store, it's quite a place. I feel very fortunate that the one closest to me is only 20-25 miles away.
