  1. I've bought a few here and there for various systems,  for games that are just absurdly expensive.  Physically,  they're not as nice as the originals.  The plastic is cheaper,  the labels aren't as nice etc. That being said,  I've never had one that didn't load the rom and wasn't playable. If you go through a site like ali express,  they're usually only a couple bucks.

    Well, I didn't exactly buy these.  They were given to me by my sister and brother in law.  He used to work at EB Games back some 15 or more years ago and they were going to throw these out in the dumpster.  He saved them from a certain doom.  They have been in their garage ever since as they intended to give them to me but they just got lost in the shuffle.

     

    The Saturn cleaned up pretty nice after I got all of the coffee out of it.  It works well too, reading a Virtua Fighter 2 disc that I thought for sure was a goner.  Initially there was an issue recognizing the controller, but it was just dirty contacts and after cleaning them and inserting the cord a couple times, voila!

     

    The Nomad is not as easily rehabbed. It is suffering from a very scratched up screen and will need a recap to work properly.  I may have this one converted to a modern LCD as well.  Need to talk to Crossbow about this one.

    That makes you wonder just how much stuff like this gets tossed to the curb.
