Kick Some Arse On The Game Gear
Back in the day, Mortal Kombat II was one of those games that blew you away in how successfully it ported from the arcade to the 16-bit SNES and Mega Drive. Though sacrifices had to be made for 8-bit consoles, it’s generally agreed that MKII on Sega’s Game Gear handheld is one of the best – if not the best – fighting game on any 8-bit console. Though four fighters were cut from the game (including nut-punching Johnny Cage), you get all the blood and gore politicians at the time didn’t want you to have, along with fatalities. A great pick-up for just $12 if you own Sega’s classic portable.
Other highly sought-after Game Gear games spotted in just one store: G-LOC: Air Battle, Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse, Krusty’s Fun House plus The Lucky Dime Caper Starring Donald Duck.
Sega fans will also find a range of Saturn, Dreamcast, Mega Drive and Master System consoles and games online.

This popped up last week the disappeared by the time I clicked on it.
IT’S BACK
Advertorials aren’t meant to have comments turned on, are they? For fear we will bad mouth the sponsors?
I got my GameCube + Prime, Melee, Double Dash and Mario Party 4 for $20
I’d never have thought a Cash Converters advertorial would be the place to leak the existence (and release window!) of Red Dead Redemption 2.
That’s quite the scoop.
First I’m hearing of it, too.
ohh crap converters ! do you want to Pay over double what most items are worth. then this is the place for you!
cool web store. i just did a quick search for some classics and they are going for the same or even more than eBay in most cases. WHAT A BARGAIN!
Aren’t all those games pre-owned and in unknown condition?
But eh, probably not as bad as the time I bought a pre-owned Dirge of Cerberus that was used as a coffee coaster.
I’ve been excited about finding a couple of really old games on the webshop, only to have them arrive and be covered in scratches. One so bad i had to send it back. I only buy from the store now so i can inspect before buying.
Is there any reason to buy a gamecube (for $100?) when you can just find a 2nd hand Wii with Gamecube compatibility? I played RE4, Sunshine, Eternal Darkness and Metroid Prime and Paper Mario on my Wii with them sweet sweet Wavebird controllers.
Also, 2nd hand Wii + softmod = so much convenience!
