Vintersorg posted:I don't think anything works for you ever. To be fair that thing I had for more then a year at this point. I never really liked having a knockoff Everdrive but couldn't return it like the other two ones I bought from Amazon (fake N64 and Super UFO) so I just kept it. I am surprise it lasted this long for being a obvious fake.

I was thinking about that as well, especially using the shoddy knockoff Everdrive that is very likely to fry my Genesis. And yay the other Everdrives I have are 'good' or better so at least no worries about getting a fried system. Gone ahead and ordered the X5, especially if I ever get a Sega CD.

It's the Earthbound effect, where a game gets a reputation as way better and rarer than it actually is and it drives up the price

Toejam and Earl has been going up pretty steadily, in line with every other good retro game out there. In 2011 the going price for a CiB was $20. In 2012 it was around $30 (I remember thinking I got a steal for getting a copy for $20 on ebay in 2012). Doubling five years later isn't exactly out of the norm. It was never one of those dirt cheap common games like Sonic 2. Panic on Funkotron, on the other hand...

For 2P vs there are plenty. When it comes to 2P co-op most of your options are going to be beat/shoot-em-ups. Can't really go wrong with Streets of Rage. IMO hands down the best 2P co-op game from that era is Goof Troop. Toejam and Earl is a lot of fun too. There's also Seiken Densetsu 3 (and possibly Secret of Mana?) if you want to buddy up for an RPG adventure. I don't recommend FF6 for this because the second player spends most of their time waiting for player 1 to get through plot poo poo. I think co-op play wasn't available in the original Mario Kart, unfortunately. The Donkey Kong Country series is fun to play if you're both evenly matched, but if one of you is significantly more skilled than the other the gameplay becomes very one sided. Edit: oh yeah and seconding the Gunstar Heroes and Contra 3 suggestions. Mak0rz fucked around with this message at 22:01 on Jul 24, 2017 |

FF6's 2 player mode is more of a 'little sibling' mode akin to playing as Tails in Sonic 2 & 3 as opposed to a full-fledged co-op experience.

Obligatory mention for Turtles in Time And a  for Metal warriors. But yes you probably will need to use a flashcart for that one. If you can, the versus mode is great fun especially with random mechs- option.

I'll chip in that Golden Axe II for the Genesis is a good choice. Final Fight II and Bust-A-Move are also good two player games for the SNES.

 Had a good ol' time cleaning a few N64 carts my friend gave me. Most were pretty trashed, but they're all working now and are very clean. The N64 also had a ton of dust in it, but is working great. Gonna send it off for a RGB mod pretty soon.

Fire Striker might be the best co-op game on SNES, and checking eBay prices, I see people have finally figured that out.
