Does anyone know of a good place to buy used video games for old systems such as Nintendo, Super Nintendo, Sega, Nintendo 64, etc...?

There's a Gamestop in Mexicantown on Vernor and one on East Jefferson near that Farmer Jack in the 10000 block.

I got a couple N64, Sega, and PSX games I need to get rid of. Not sure what you are looking for.

And I think the furthest back you'll find games is for N64. I was in GameStops probably about 9 months ago and they had a rack with just the carts themselves lined up in them. I would try Craigslist for anything older.

Crap. I wish I'd kept my old trash-80 system. :-(

I kept the conspicuously white "return" key as a momento. I suspect they colored it that way to emphasise its importance to the (then) noob consumer for terminating a keyboard command.

I still have all the original documentation though, including EDT/ASM, plus the disassembled ROM & DOS code, annotated, and the receipt for the printer that cost nearly a thousand dollars back then!

<sigh> Those were the days.
