  • One of my buddies was selling his game collection so, without thinking, I bought it all for $1,000. He accepted thinking I overpaid but we'll see about that in this unboxing video.

    John,
    If you look very closely at the lower-left corner of the label on X-Men for the NES, right below the Seal of Quality, there is a controller code that from what I remember unlocks a secret room or dialog. What makes that interesting is that the code was right in front of our faces this entire time.

    I don't think Kirby's Dreamland, Metroid 2 and The Lion King for Gameboy are worth anywhere near $121 but I still think you made out well and more importantly, helped a friend which is great in itself. It was fun to watch. Makes me a bit depressed because I sold a ton of my games when I needed cash a few years ago. Almost my entire collection of sealed PS1 games. Games that I loved growing up, a few a which were highly graded. It will bother me forever, but hey, games are for playing and life goes on. Thanks for sharing it with us. 🙂

    • @bryanobrien2726
      @bryanobrien2726 10 місяців тому
