    Try ''Bishop-bros''. They use to sell it 200 because of the very rare Mapper, but they just dropped it to 100. Also there is another party who make the same game on a white cart with manual, poster and cardboard NES box, however I'm trying to get in touch with him. If I find out I'll let you know.

    Well, they just keep coming. I got two of these and unboxed the one that the seal was almost coming off. The Beige is the rarer one out of the bunch. Still available on their web site for those interested. Oh the code is already used.

    People don't usually like Lair but I had a lot of fun with it. For less than $7, it is a great game. You should try it soon.

    Yeah I beat the game yesterday (almost in one sitting, don't judge I was sick and had nothing to do lol). It is a descent game, however what I hated was the same thing that made me hate the entire WII library, the controls. I hate motion controls and what I hate most is when the developper don't include normal joystick control forcing the player to shake the controller like an idiot (my fiancee was out so she didn't see me shaking my controller like a retard).

    Here is a long awaited mail call, I almost forgot about that.

    But there is a update for Lair that includes regular controls. I played it with those and I remember having a good time. I think that if you go to options you should see the alternate controls method.

    Another gem (well in this CIB condition) that I was being very patient to get. I used to own it but out of stupidity I sold it to fuel the purchase of my Ps3 back in 2009. So happy to get it back. Also two must-own titles for the Ps2. I owned Shadow but mine was a ''Greatest Hits'' and the sight of its red cover on my shelf was chewing off my nerves, so I said enough is enough. ;)

    I LOVED your Super Mario World copy.
    I really want one for my collection as well.
    If you don't mind, how much have you paid for it?

    I got it for $80 CAD, so about $60 USD, just for the box, insert and manual. I already had the game for free with my SNES. It was the second time they had this in my area but last time it was not in a great shape. I'll keep an eye for you if I see it again.

    Thank you very much!
    I already have the cart so the box, insert and manual would be great for this price!
    Let me know if you find it again.

    Well thank you. As I mentioned in the very first post of this thread, I already have a 500 game goal, the list of which I distributed to all the game store in my town. So as soon as they get them I have the dibs on them. about a 150 other games to go and the game side of the collection would be done. Then I could focus on the more uncommon consoles that I still have to obtain.

    Congrats on getting a CiB pocky and rocky. I seriously can't believe how stupid the price on this game has gotten in only a few years. Same goes with the sequel. Anyway good luck on getting those last 150 some games you need.

    Thanks for the comment. But yeah I was very lucky to get that CIB Pocky and Rocky, but again it was just because I maintained good relationship with the stores owner, and after a while they will hook you up with some awesome deals that you'll never be able to get otherwise.

    Here some new addition. Just did the swap for a physical copy for that Halo 5 trough Microsoft. Can't wait to play it.

    What they say ? ''it's never too late''. Well I finally got the WiiU I always wanted. Now that the NX is kinda sorta around the corner I think it is the best time to get WiiU games in my area.
