On the one hand, I got an amazing deal on a pretty good game...
But on the other hand, the battery is completely dead, so turn it off and a minute later your file is gone. What do I have to do, leave my SNES on for two weeks again? :(

Kirby's Dream Land 3 ($2, cart only)
... For that price I really can't complain, given that on EBay it goes for $20-$25 in general, but it is really too bad. IT does make me wonder, though... this one's from 1997, the last first-party release in the US on the system. I have many older games with working batteries, including every one of my battery-backed Genesis games. Why is this one dead? Why do some games last like 20 or 25 years with one battery, while other batteries are dead five or ten years later? It's pretty strange, really.
