koward Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Found a NES this weekend with a bunch of games, alot I haven't heard of. Some of the more interesting ones... Gunsmoke (2 copies with 2 different labels?), Dragon Warrior 1 thru 4, Final Fantasy, Freedom Force, Silent Service, River City Ransom, Skull and Crossbones, and quite a few more. There were probably 30 total with a few duplicates. Paid twenty bucks. Did I do alright. Don't know to much about NES so let me know. Also just wondering for my own well being. I keep everything I find. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewing92 Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 yup, you made out great, put's my weekend find too shame(not much, but a few games from the goodwill). Can't wait for the yardsales around here to start up....summertime! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superjudge3 Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Dragon Warrior 1-4? At a garage sale? Holy shit man! Find of the year! I'm speechless! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koward Posted April 2, 2007 Author Share Posted April 2, 2007 So Dragon Warrior 1-4 are good games or are they rare. I haven't had time to play any of them. Sound like I did alright then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricDeLee Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Great games. They are rare as well... well... 2-4 are rare. You made out very well. Most people here would give you $30 alone for just the Dragon Warrior 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scumdogg Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Yeah, one of my local game sources sells Dragon Warrior IV for $30, and $25 each for II and III. And they're not only rare, they're *great* games. Excellent find, i'm jealous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevincal Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 (edited) So Dragon Warrior 1-4 are good games or are they rare. I haven't had time to play any of them. Sound like I did alright then? Well, I find older RPG's with bland graphics rather boring personally...But if you are a true diehard RPG fan, you should like 'em. As far as doing ok. That lot is easily worth atleast $100, on eBay atleast... Edited April 2, 2007 by kevincal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superjudge3 Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Believe me, most modern RPGs have taken a thing or two from the DW series. I lov 'em personally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabriel Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 If I still had my NES hooked up, and the battery on the cartridge is still alive, I'd pay $20 for Dragon Warrior II. Excellent score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariJr Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 If I still had my NES hooked up, and the battery on the cartridge is still alive, I'd pay $20 for Dragon Warrior II. Excellent score. that is one thing i hesitate on really... is that battery seems to be nearing its life. ive bought i think now 3 copies of zelda for the nes, and each one of them died on me. and ive tried opening the carts, but thats never really fun and it gets quite messy id just hate to spend 100 dollars and get them and they die in a a week ya know?

Yeah, a LOT of my NES games are finally starting to lose their battery power. A few months ago i bought Crystalis and foolishly played it for 5 hours or so without checking the battery. Saved, went back to it later, no saves. They're not hard to replace, but yeah...if you plan on selling those DW games check the batteries first. Make sure to note that in the sale.

RunnersDad Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Should one not assume that when purchasing a vintage RPG that the battery is probably nearing the end of its life. Fortunately I have not had any of my batteries die on me yet, including Dragon Warrior 4, but I would assume that time will come soon. And by the way, Excellent find, some of the best NES games that money can buy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superjudge3 Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 I think it has a lot to do with how much it is used in its life time. None of my SNES & NES RPGs have lost their batteries yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scumdogg Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 Should one not assume that when purchasing a vintage RPG that the battery is probably nearing the end of its life. My original copy of Dragon Warrior, obtained near release and played through countless times, is still going strong. However, i have copies of Sim City and Earthbound on the SNES that won't hold saves. Can't really assume anything with that kind of randomness.
