hello Dark, you don't have to sell off your current consoles and stuff,
just get a famicom and start hunting for decent famicom games~ tongue.gif

Need to check the authenticity of my collections. From there you learn to look at the external and guess how many % of it is real. I think I can 90% sure of SFC, N64 and Genesis cart originality. FC and NES are quite easy to spot (multi games), still learning about GB cart.

Yes I very much wanted to collect Nintendo and Sega retro stuffs. But collecting PS stuffs already taken most of my time and money...sad.gif
Furthermore I am very afraid of old console spoilt and no one can repair it. I prefer to collect something that the current gen console still supports - at least for now.

I am going down south early Dec. Still dunno where to check out retro stuffs. A couple of cash converters could be a good starting point.

Yours is called The return of the joker, it is the sequel to that batman game i'm having.

That place is Pirom Plaza (near China Town), i was there to search for toys,
and i never expected to see so many game shops there, and there are 3 RETRO game shops inside this mall,
saw some rare consoles such as cd-x, brand new PC Engine Duo-R, brand new SFC, Neogeo etc...

spoken to all 3 retro game shops owners, 2 of them have ebay store but they said the price is a lot higher than buying in their shop,
and it is very hard for them to give discount online because their ebay store is managed by other people, so make sure you bring enough cash when you visit them~ brows.gif

Added on November 5, 2009, 1:03 amOh nevermind. Found it. Found it in ebay. Last time I search no one is selling it. Been staying away from ebay for a while after looking at my cc bills at the end of the month. doh.gif
