good place to snag old games? (suikoden ! and II)
« on: March 26, 2010, 03:14:44 AM »
hey, anyone know of a good reliable site or place to snag older games? Im specifically looking for a copy of Suikoden I and II. Suikodens my fave rpg series and i have III-V, and played I and II a lot years back. But I never wound up buying a copy.

Well now i want to own them myself. I know you can d.load I on the ps3 but thats not good enough, i want to pop it into my old PS1. I remember you can carry over your character from I to II as well, which is more reason to actually own them.

Im sure theres ebay, but i dont like paypal, or want to set up an account there if possible. Besides i glanced the other day and most copies were like 70-100+ bucks. Anyone know of any other sites that may be worth a look?

Im kinda planning on playing them all start to finish again starting with I! I'll probably skip the god awful 4 though.. ungh what a POS that was.

V probably had the best battle system and I and II had the best stories.

I loved 3 and 5. So I went out and got 1 and 2 as well. There was a local shop here that took my name down and called me when someone brought one in to trade in. But I'd doubt you'd get so lucky at a larger chain.

So i think ebay is your only chance.

You could try pawn shops, but that'd be so hit and miss you'd be relying on luck.

try underground gamer for old game torrents and emulators.

How he would do it would get my post removed. Is possible though.

umm Amazon has Suikoden I+II, not really cheap though 1 for $30 and 2 for $90, if you have a used game store around try that too.

Is it really that complicated to mount and burn an image to a cd? How do you think people pirate shit?

Either way if you're looking for a legit copy best choice is probably ebay but it ain't going to be cheap.

The only way you're going to find collectible games at prices significantly below market value, ie average ebay selling price, is at flea markets, garage sales, craigslist, and thrift stores.

I once found a perfect copy of Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon at a Goodwill outlet store for $1 and eventually sold it for $90.

Good luck finding 2 for under 75$ its a collectors item, it only had a limited run release in USA, hell even 5 years ago it was like 125$.

I got the ISOs (suikoden I and II) for my ePXSe emulator.
