Deals At Play N Trade

Those cheap Power Supplies tend to just not ouput enough current for the power hungry early model genesis, they might work fine with the VA7 though.

This wasn't at PNT, but I bought the following games at a local store:

loose:
Contra Hard Corps-$18.99

Lightning Force-$8.99

Genesis 6-Pak- $5.99

Complete in Case:
Streets of Rage 2- $10.99

I noticed the store had a lot of the good 32X games, so I asked the owner if he had a 32X laying around. He got one out and said he'd give it to me for $15-$20. It seemed fair, so I asked him if that was with the hookups. He said sure. I asked him if he had all the necessary cables and he said that it just took Genesis 2 AV out. I pointed out the port for the other cable, and he wasn't sure he had it. He said he could check in the back if he had the last cable, but he couldn't at that time. He said if I came back the next day, he'd have it for me. Unfortunately, I had to leave for college the next day, so that was a no-go. I'll have to wait for Thanksgiving to get my 32X. Hopefully he'll still have Chaotix and Virtua Fighter.

Perhaps, but if you search Play N Trade and manage to find a copy, they shouldn't charge more than $10 for that game. I'd say $18 is a good deal if you find it complete.

Super Mario Kart was $14, common games were cheaper, R-Type 3 was pretty price, something over $30, close to that for Mega Man X-2 and more for X-3, ~$4 for Zelda II (a bit worn though) and generally fitting varied prices on NES games. Goldeneye was $7 iirc, but that was marked down. Rogue Squadron and BFN were mid range as well, both around $10 I think. Sega CD games were in th eteens I think, except for a couple poorer ones like Power rangers, but I didn't really notice that much. Virtua Racing for 32x was $1, Shadow Squadron was $7 but Kolibri was only a dollar, so they missed on that, but it did get me to buy it. ;)
Genesis games varied as well, Ecco was $1.99 Sonic 2 was $2.99 (loose) and the boxed ones were a few dollars more, also depending on if there was a manual. Sports games were usually dirt cheap. They had SMS, GG, Saturn, and DC games too but I didn't check the prices.

Also I must say they're good about not putting stickers over cart labels, all on the edge or top in the N64's and 32x's cases.

Like I said, it's all up to the store since PNT is a franchise. Also, again, more common/popular games do have unique prices, but your average "common" just has a slapped on price. I think I quoted it wrong though, I think it was actually $2.99 for NES and Genesis and $4.99 for SNES. As for stickers, that varied by who was putting the stickers on. I would yell at the employees if they put it on a label, even on the back label as it would always tear it off. I'm like "put it on the front on the NES and SNES and on the back on the Genesis, not on the label!" They just didn't give a shit, such a bunch of worthless employees. Ugh, I repeat, the only downside to that job was the worthless staff which was the fault of the worthless mommy/daddy trust fund owner that hired his friends (dumb move) and wouldn't fire them and hire some decent employees that knew what they were doing.
