I have a vintage unopened Super Mario Kart for SNES 1st Ed and I'm about to sign a Heritage Auction docusign. What could possibly go wrong?

There are 2x Super Mario Karts 1st Ed + 2x Super Star Wars 1st Ed + 1x Operation Logic Bomb 1st Ed

I have stored these for at least 3 decades and believe they are the only carts out there that are in this condition. Heritage auction wants me to sign an Auction Consignment Agreement with a sellers commission at 15%. While in their possession they've insured it at $17k. The yare also consigned to go on auctions "Through Nov 11, 2025".

I've been thinking about this for a year and haven't any other markets that would fetch a better price, but then again it might just be an illusion of hyper-inflation.

Where else could I possibly sell them for a good price?

new to this sub but I want to ask, what game did you play with your parents.

I remember specifically that I played the original Bubble Bobble with my mom as well as Wheel of Fortune, both on the original NES.

The Bubble Bobble was a total game experience and because of the Nintendo Power magazine, Bubble Bobble game we completed with the true ending. Wheel of Fortune was an easy gameshow game that we figured all the puzzles that were left.

My dad, however, loved Sonic I&II on my GameGear. He insisted that when I charged my humongous battery pack, that I did it next to his lounge chair. Sonic 2 was the best he ever did, but he loved it.

Both of my parents loved games before they became too complicated. Dad did no survive to experience casual phone games but mom did and she did. She had a number that she loved. I guess that is why I will always try to tackle casual games. I do, however, would love a new Bubble Bobble to play with my own kids.

I made a good? Mistake?

I was scouting for atari2600/7800 frogger 2. Found this lot on Etsy and skipped analyzing the photos. A older woman found them in a thrift shop and listed them. Notably spelling game names, I still missed the important word on the carts in the image.

They came and I had shown my middle child my triumph of thrifty online shopping. Until I tried to mash a cart into my atari 7800.

"Huh, .... what?.. oh damn" Kid: what dad Me: this is coleco carts Her: ....? Me: welll.... I was gunna buy one anyway.... don't tell your mother

I mean, 38 bucks shipped can't be that bad?

What was this Space Game?

Hey, I'm not really a Gamer, but I hope this community can help me out. From time to time a memory pops up in my head about a game we used to play on my friend's Windows 98 computer, must have been around 2000 or late 90s. All I remember is that mostly all you could see was the blackness of space with some little planets in it. Now, depending on what kind of ship you were able to build on your homeplanet, you could or couldn't reach the other stars. If you were able to fly somewhere else you'd get informations about the friendly or not so friendly Aliens living there, and, as far as i can recall, they'd mostly sent some stronger ships that would destroy us. Sometimes you could also form alliances to attack others together... I think. My friend didn't really like this one so we played it rarely but for me it always felt mysterious, fascinating and, in a way, endless, almost like a open world kind of thing. But we never got the point and it would always be too complicated for us. I'd really love to check this game out today, with an adult brain, but I know my memories are pretty... minimal. Does this ring a bell for anyone?

Thanks a Lot Andy

DOS XT game recommendations please!

Hi guys, I've got an IBM PC-XT from the 80s that I want to get some more games for! Now I have a fine collection of DOS games already, but this is an XT-class machine that can only handle floppies with 360 kB of memory! This puts a bit of a limitation on what I can play, unfortunately.

So far I've got Monopoly, Arkanoid, Acquire, Archon, Drugwars, Loderun, Paratrooper, Tetris, Pyro 2 and Sokoban, but I'd love if you guys have got recommendations for more games that can play on this machine :D .

Running 16-bit games on Windows 11

Hi guys,

I was wondering if there’s a way to play a 16-bit game on Windows 11, for a person so green in all this ‘computer stuff’ (I only know how to switch my laptop on and off basically).

The game in question is Claw, I absolutely loved and adored it when I was a child. I just spent roughly £50 on buying it just to find out it won’t run. Now, I’ve read some guides how to run such games on dual-system-something but I was wondering maybe it’s just easier to instal old Windows that’s 16-bit on my old unused laptop? Is it even possible these days to install such old systems?

Thank you!

Trying to remember the name of an old computer game - would have been 80s/early 90s, vector graphics I think, you explored a world which was a kind of globe comprising 18 square arenas (with triangular areas you could fall into if you left the wrong edge of the squares).

Probably on Atari ST or Sinclair Spectrum, and from chatting with brother we recall it came with a flattened card cut out of the planet that you could draw map upon and then construct into the ‘planet’ shape? Any ideas??? Brother and I identified a bunch of old games we had but this eluded us!

Got this set today at work out of a junk box. I haven’t come across this vintage gaming system yet. I work in Tokyo and get lots of cool stuff.
