All we have here are some unsold copies of SNES games. They are 20 bucks, I payed that for the system.  Gamestop took over all of the Funcolands around here, but they are all connected some way.

Gamefellas (i think it is called) seemed better than funco land. their nes games were much cheaper, I think they even had soem copies of river city ransom in the original shrink wrapped box

| timrpgland | My semi-local Funcoland sucks. They barely have any of the classics anymore. A real disappointment. I remember when I actually looked forward to going to Funcoland, now I say fuck em. I don't know if the Mega Mall's funcoland is any better since I haven't been there for quite a while. | |

| Ninjavenom | Indeed. I made that "Holy shit, look what i found!" noise when i saw that it was only two dollars. I was very...er... annoyed that i didn't get to buy it, as i was all set to do. They sold their last copy of CV3, too, that i saw last time i went in. That also annoyed me. | |

| timrpgland | Kid Niki is a classic. I haven't played that game in years. | |

I had a HUGE NES collection, but I sold alot of the games. Never ever sell to Gamestop, they give you 20-80 cents for each game then sell it for about 10-20 dollars. Kid Niki ruled whoreable, how dare you say that. "War something or other, a Contra clone" Was it Ikari Warriors? |

Kid Niki was one of the first NES games I ever had. I remember being pissed that the game on the back of the pink box looked nothing like the ARCADE images shown on the back (Data East was notorious for that - I got burned with Karnov that way too  ). Classic nonetheless. And Deja Vu was hilarious!

Guess cause I never played it back in the day. I just recently got a copy my friend stole from funcoland. But still, as much as I love classic games, I cant get into this one

Bitching about Funcoland/EB You know that i have never, in my entire life, EVER been able to walk into Funcoland and simply complete a transaction and leave? Never. Every time i go to trade something in, i Need ID. Cue a fifteen minute wait for the clerk as i search for one of my parents so i may get their driver's license. Every time i trade something in, i get less than 1/4 of it's resale value. This is normal for Funcoland, because that's how they make money on trade-ins. Fine. But when i bought Xenogears for $30 and traded that ridiculous piece of shit in, i got FOUR. Four fucking dollars. That's worse than the game itself. This bitching is spawned by the fact that when i went in today, i had my card with me, and was going to buy some NES games with the $25 on it. It turns out, my card expired. "Okay," i thought, "I must have left it in my dresser." I offered to put the games back, but the guy told me he would do it for me. that was fine. So when i get home, i immediately search for my card. "I got the money and card", i thought, "from trading in Splinter Cell, a waste of fifty good dollars." It was the first time i didn't feel cheated by the Gamestop franchise, getting half of a game's worth. It was store credit, but that didn't bother me. What did was that i remembered i had a receipt from that purchase, not a card. Shit. I looked all up and down my room, but i knew what happened to it. I looked in the laundry at the pants i was wearing the night i traded it in. There it was, three yellow scraps of twenty-five gdddamn dollars. I tried for twenty minutes to carefully open the pieces without tearing, and all i could make out was the disclaimer on the back. Silly me, i had to fold it FRONT SIDE OUT. Now i loathe Splinter Cell, because that game ended up costing me seventy five god damned dollars. Do you know what i could have bought with that? I could have doubled my NES game collection, and still have had money for the new Samus Aran figure. Or i could have bought fice or six used psx games. Or two swords from ebay. Or five cds. Or something WORTH SEVENTY FIVE DOLLARS. I'm not going to blame Funcoland for my washing that receipt, but instead i'm going to blame that god damn Splinter Cell, and the fact that my Dogma prevents me from EVER profiting from a transaction at Funcoland. (I reach the amount of $75 by reasoning that it was the absolute total about of money i had in the week, and that losing Splinter Cell was a gain) Care to know what the games were? Astynax Skate or Die Faxanadu Kid Niki: RADICAL NINJA Ninja Kids Demon Sword Wrath of the Black Manta Little Nemo in Dreamland Deja Vu War something or other, a Contra clone FUCK. |
