N64?

Some of you will find it comical that I’m posting this, since it’s common knowledge that I have exactly zero interest in video games. Others will understand.

Evan has been working to save money to buy a wii because his mean old rational mom won’t buy one for him. Once he had earned enough, he came face to face with consumerism: the wii is hard to come by. He spent weeks calling around, trying to find one in a slightly panicked state. While he was hard to live with during this time, the weeks gave his brother - Mr. Anti Consumerism - a chance to reason with him: Why not SAVE a bunch of your money and get a used N64? Why pay big bucks for a wii when you can play it at your friends’ house? And on.

Big brother’s reasoning won. We now have an N64, but we’re back into that panic mode as Evan searches for used games. Which leads to my post here. If you’ve upgraded and are sitting on some old N64 games, I have a kid who would love to take them off your hands for a reasonable price plus shipping. He’s specifically looking for Smash Bros, Mario Cart, Mario 64, and Donkey Kong 64.

My dds (deprived daughters) are still using old Game Boy Colors that they bought used!

Tell them not to forget The Legend of Zelda, Ocarina of Time. That’s the best video game ever, imho! Seriously, I went through addiction and came out ok. It’s a sad thing when mom has to fight for the controller…….LOL!

Not that you haven’t thought of this, but this is exactly the sort of thing at which eBay RULES. Find a seller with an excellent reputation who’s offering the titles. You could save yourself months of looking.

You mean mom you. We don’t have one here either and I never will. Big kid has a Game Boy, little kid has a Leap Pad and as far as I’m concerned, that’s enough! Besides, the neighbors have a Play Station that they sneak over to play. But I’m impressed that Evan saved enough money for it; that’s real dedication.

I had Atari and was pretty darn good at Frogger. :)

There’s supposed to be a slash through “Mean.”
