Kjorteo's retro games wishlist



This is a list of older (retro) video games that Kjorteo still wants. Items in bold are the priority ones--the ones I really want. All of these are obviously long since out of print for any new store, but they can still be floating around eBay and such.

Assuming all options are available, I would prefer a complete version of the game (with box and manual and everything) to something that's merely cart-only. However, please do not go as far as getting something that's still unopened and in its original wrapping; I intend to actually play these games, so I would probably want to open them anyway, and original shrinkwrap tends to make them much more expensive than they're worth for something I don't even want. (By contrast, if no complete version of a game can be found, I will still happily accept a cart-only version.)

There is a good chance that anything you get will probably lack a dust cover, even if it was complete in box with manual and everything--many games from that era simply did not come with dust covers for whatever reason! (Actually, complete NES packages are usually good about including them, but other platforms are not. Check the picture either way. PSX games are exempt from this, as they usually come in a jewel case that serves as its own protection, like any CD.) Dust covers (AKA dust sleeves) are always good to have, and can usually be found in large bulk packages for extremely cheap in separate auctions.


NES dust covers look like L-shaped boxes into which an NES cart would fit.


SNES dust covers look like small plastic bricks into which the very bottom of an SNES cart would fit.


Game Boy dust covers like clear plastic boxes which can snap closed with a Game Boy game inside them.

Warning: When getting secondhand games on eBay, especially old retro ones, always check the stated condition the game is in. Also, be especially careful about the seller's feedback--I have actually more than once encountered a power seller with a 99.8% positive feedback rating, but upon viewing the feedback, the .2% turned out to be a bunch of complaints about how they were selling counterfeit NES carts. Yikes.
