Buying a Super Nintendo

[Flames89]

God uniracers was a good game!

The amount of time I spent in a daze playing that...

I still have my original SNES and I daresay I get more gameplay out of that than I do out of my Xbox 360... those old skool games had to make up for the fact that there were only so many options when it came to presentation, so gameplay was always No. 1. Even though I've pretty much mastered it, I maintain you can't beat the intensity of the Rainbow Cup circuit, 150 CC, on Super Mario Kart. Try placing first on the Rainbow Road course using Bowser or Donkey Kong. You have to have some serious skill to drive that tight with those characters.

Haha oh totally. A few months ago my buddy who had got the SNES invited me over to play Madden '07 on his newly bought PS3(I hadn't played PS3 yet). We played one game, and then turned it off to play NHL'94 on Super Nintendo the rest of the night, good times!

And Flames89, yeah I thought of Ebay, but I dunno...I've only ordered something once before on it and really got the run-around with it, it left me kind of soured towards Ebay. Plus my gf's the one getting this for me and she doesnt even have an Ebay account, which is why I wanted to see if anything else was available in the city first. If it turns out she doesnt get it for me then I will buy it myself and possibly go Ebay, but I'm just wary with it now, I was very unimpressed with Ebay the only time I've used it.

eBay had over $52.47 BILLION in merchandise sales last year... this is not a model built on people getting ripped off...

Ha. Yeah, a buddy and I went as far as playing with our feet for about a month. We actually got pretty good too I forget now which track, thinking Mario, where there was the jump over the track. And putting a banana on the ramp meant that the player ended up falling into an earlier road. So much satisfaction from watching the placements after I finished to see a computer player that was in second end up in last

I'm sure its not, and I'm sure most sellers on there are great. But unfortunately there are also those who either are taking advantage of people, or simply inept at selling. Or(which I think was what happened to me, considering the guy I bought off had a 99.3% postiive rep), sometimes unexplained things happen during delivery, which unfortunately I experienced in my first and only purchase thusfar, which has left me a little wary of it now.

If I can find a decent price on an item here I'd rather just buy it that way, then you're at least assured of getting what you bought and in a timely fashion, instead of "probably" like on Ebay.

Ok sweet, that sounds like a great deal. I'm gonna look around here a little first but Ill definitely keep that in mind.

Ah yes. We discovered this as well - it's the final track on one of the easier circuits. We even came up with a term for the player who gets screwed over by the banana before the ramp: "ramp######ed." It's awesome, because like you said, your closest adversary may end up finishing last, which could knock them off the podium.
