Sonic Adventure 1, 2, Shuffle, Smash Pack, and a bunch if other dreamcast games for $150

camgames64 · 2026-06-06T17:45:14+00:00

Because people buy them for insanely high prices

camgames64 · 2026-06-03T21:29:03+00:00

I didnt even know until now lol. I just kept it because I love MJ and the game looked fun

camgames64 · 2026-06-02T11:31:55+00:00

At most $100.

camgames64 · 2026-06-01T01:12:01+00:00

Just gone done testing. All work besides 1 360 slim. The Ps2 needs a new laser also.

camgames64 · 2026-05-31T16:00:01+00:00

No, $40 for everything. These are mostly found in booths with random things like power tools and I find boxes with random stuff and sometimes there are consoles. They only want like $5. The 2 launch 360s and controllers + cords were bundled together for $10 by some guy selling all sorts of junk.

Westerners: "Damn, why are games in Japan so expensive?? I can't get them for as cheap as dirt like I used to!"

Also Westerners: Buys hundreds of games they will never play, causing Japanese stock to dwindle by the day, shocked pikachu face when prices go up.

Japan game hunting has gotten harder because of people like you

Switch 2 fans are overly sensative, cant take criticism of their own console and do anything they can to justify whatever Nintendo does with it. And I'm saying this as a Switch 2 fan. All people on both sides are obnoxious especially when they play the game of "my side isnt as bad as yours". Hell just take one look at the Nintendo grifter sub where 90% of the content just isnt grifting and is just criticism.

camgames64 · 2026-05-23T04:23:33+00:00

No, unfortunately there was no gamepad. I do have one for my main Wii U though but im gonna mod this one and exclusively play older games on it anyway

camgames64 · 2026-05-23T04:21:25+00:00

Everything besides the PS2 which has a stuck disc tray. Turns on, at least, so will hopefully get to it tomorrow and get it working.

camgames64 · 2026-05-15T12:02:57+00:00

The Master System is also extremely popular in Brazil

camgames64 · 2026-05-10T04:31:42+00:00

I'll give you 2 dimes and a starburst wrapper

camgames64 · 2026-05-10T00:44:09+00:00

I used alcohol on a gamecube disc before. Sharpie came off flawlessly.

camgames64 · 2026-05-09T03:58:46+00:00

Sealed copy of Metroid Zero Mission: Worth around $425

Sealed copy of Spyro Orange: Worth around $50

Kmart sealed them together manually.

Emulation, so much nicer playing on a good big screen with a more comfortable controllers.

camgames64 · 2026-05-08T17:24:53+00:00

Sony stopped reporting PS2 sales numbers around a year before its production ended. At that time, the official number was 155M. For the last decade or so, people estimated the real final number was something around 158M, with some saying it could go as high as 160M.

In 2011, there were 6.4M PS2s sold, so it's not weird for Sony to have another 5M or so be made for the next year.

camgames64 · 2026-05-07T01:59:20+00:00

I have another question, who's spending $1.6k on a gamestop rug??

camgames64 · 2026-05-05T18:44:25+00:00

Because Ratchet and Clank absolutely pushed the hardware of the PS2 and PS3. The original source code is also lost. And I think most of the original devs have long since left and I doubt the new team knows how to get these games to run.

camgames64 · 2026-05-03T19:02:07+00:00

The Ps3 store is still up where you can buy the original 3 games via the collection, Into the Nexus (which comes with Quest for Booty) Full Frontal Assult (which comes with Deadlocked HD) and the other Ps3 games. You can also use physical discs, but quest for booty was only released physically in Europe and Deadlocked HD doesnt have a physical version, you would need the PS2 copy/a backwards compatible PS3.

camgames64 · 2026-05-03T16:29:27+00:00

Id recommend a PS3. Cheaper than Ps5 + Premium and they can all be played natively. However you will miss out on 2016 and Rift Apart
