I went to Cambridge for the weekend to see a mate. When I was there I went into one of those little independant games stores places.

They had a SNES for sale. I asked how much it was, £20, not bad I thought. Quite tempting. The conversation between me and the shop bloke then went like this:

Me: Have you got MarioKart?
Bloke: No.
Me: Oh. What about Bomberman?
Bloke: No.
Me: Oh.
Bloke: Do you want to join the waiting list?
Me: Excuse me?
Bloke: The waiting list? Those two games are so popular we hadn't to start a waiting list scheme.
Me: No, it's alright thanks.

I thought he was winding me up. A waiting list for two games that are, what, about 8 years old?

Ridiculous!

Hey it's true then. I had a snes and sold my version of bomberman 3 which i later regreted and tried to hunt a copy down. I never found one and every shop i asked said that i would be really lucky to get hold of a copy as it is so popular with the gamers.

SR should try and get old of some calssic snes games, they could make a fortune. : )

Not in this place. Street Fighter 2, boxed, was £12.

Unboxed games like Stunt Race FX were £4.
