Dumb SNES questions.......

[dtdg]

Can anyone on this forum give me vegas odds on my chances to find these games:


Metal Marines
Axelay
Super Castlevania IV
R-Type: The Third Lightening
the other Castlevania game for the SNES.

Sorry to ask.

Axelay and R-Type III, in my experience, aren't too hard to find, though they may be a bit more expensive than some of the less-known shooters on the system (EDF or something like that). I haven't looked around for Castlevania IV, but I honestly doubt it's too tough to locate either; Dracula X, however, goes for 50 bucks and up (again, in my experience) on eBay, so if you want that one, expect to pay more. Metal Marines I have no honest idea about.

Also Phalanx and Smash TV. My bad.

Thank you sir, I apperciate the response.

I haven't seen Metal Marines and R-Type III in used shops; I have seen the others.

Also Phalanx and Smash TV. My bad.

And I have never seen Smash TV in the stores.

Ive got a CV4 brand new from Toys R Us about 2 years ago.

I might be selling it soon... but don't hold your breath though.

Phalanx I found for cheap in a store, IIRC (it's one of those "less well known" shmups I mentioned earlier, heh heh); Smash TV I don't know for sure, but if I had to guess I'd assume that it wouldn't be too difficult to get ahold of either.

Axelay's pretty cheap, and somewhat common. I see it frequently in game shops. R-Type III (amazing game) I haven't seen in shops for quite a while. Expect to pay a bit for R-Type III either on the internet, or in a shop. Well worth it though.

Castlevania: Dracula X will set you back about $40-50 for only the cart. Double that for the complete cart, manual, and case depending on the condition.

[PFG 9000]

I've never looked for Smash TV or Metal Marines, so I can't say much there.

Axelay and Super CV4 are pretty common, I think I see about six copies of the former every time I hit the local gameshops. Phalanx isn't too rare either, but isn't as prevalent as Axelay and Super CV4. I've seen R-Type III in-store before, but not for at least two years (it's always when you're looking for something that you can't find it!).

Dracula X is very difficult to find in the midwest. I haven't seen it used in an actual shop in several years of looking. But all these can be bought easily on ebay; just don't expect to pay a fair price.

[Klatrymadon]

Castlevania IV is the best game in the series*, so I'd recommend buying it no matter what the price was. It should be fairly inexpensive, though, so get onto eBay!




*insert ubiquitous 'imho' waivers here.

Metal Marines is fairly rare...it's probably eBay or nothing, and it won't be very cheap.

I got a used R-Type III for $12 from a local Game Crazy only a couple of months back. They're pretty good about finding stuff in their chain and having it shipped... just don't expect the cart to be in pristine condition.

[captain ahar]

i bought my copy in a lot from someone on this board (shooter j) along with Bio metal, axelay(pants), and some others not worth mentioning.

[dtdg]

Okay, so I take it Super Castlevania 4, Metal Marines, Axelay, Phalanx are quite common. Is Metal Marines any good?

[BulletMagnet]

All the GameFAQs reviews of it (about a half dozen of them) are 7s and 8s; haven't played it myself though. Apparently there's a PC game of the same name, not sure if it's the same as the SNES ver...on eBay right now there are 2 copies of MM up for bid: a cart-only starting at 10 bucks, and a sealed one for 100.

Does anyone know the name of that Turrican game for the SNES? How hard is it to find it? Same thing applies for the Gen version, how hard is it to find it.

[Neo Rasa]

Super Turrican and Mega Turrican. If you can find it, you can get a Super Turrican in a Gamestop for like $4.99. Mega Turrican is a little tougher.

Both games you probably won't find in a physical store anymore but shouldn't cost you that much if you just want the cartridge.

Super Turrican 2 on the other hand...

I found Mega Turrican at a Gamestop (back when they still sold Genesis games) for 2.99. I saw one at Ebgames a few months ago for just as cheap, but it's not up there any more.
