Have you ever been out looking for videogames and found a rare or hard to find game?

Just Yesterday I found a copy of Metal Gear solid 2 Substance for $20. That's a hard to find game.

I find "MGS2 = rare" a hard concept to believe.

Don't ask, because I'm not explaining. You either know about it, or not.

Just the older ones are hard to find. With new generations coming out, the older games will lessen and lessen. That's why online stores like amazon and ebay are really the places to go for that kind of stuff. I was looking for some older metal slug games, but had to get them from ebay because stores didn't have them.

In the age of Internet emulators and ROMs, I find it hard to believe that any game is in short supply. If you're talking about legal catridges and CDs, I suppose that it's poossible to find some rare ones. Chrono Trigger, which goes for the upward of $50+ on the internet for the catridge version, I suppose can be seen as pretty rare.

Don't really suppose X-Box games will be in short supply, though... They're still making them, aren't they? I think everything that's PSX and before are out of manufacturing.

Well I remember not all too long ago the Gamestop near me had a SNES, NES, and a bunch of Genesis games.

They also had N64/PS1 systems and games too. They seemed to have alot of older stuff but I think they're runninng out of room and starting to get rid of it.

Sons of Liberty isn't rare. You can find that in any corner drug store. Substance is a different story. My friend and I were starting to believe that it was just a legend untill we founds a copy for renmt about a year ago, and then again yesterday whaen I found one behind every other game at GameStop.

when i was 16 i worked at woolworths. and in the store room right at the back there was a NES, brand new never opened. came with the Turtles game. the manager wouldn't let me buy it and he fucking threw it away. so i threw his kids away.

all true but the last bit.

I suppose it depends on which version you saw, right? There are at least two versions that I know of, they might be differently priced.
