Mechwarrior - cart only, $9. This game is a port of the first PC Mechwarrior game, which was made by Dynamix and is far, far less remembered than Activision's all-time-classic sequel from a few years later. It's supposed to be good enough, but I've never played the PC game. Well, this SNES port is similar, except, of course, downscaled and simpler I am sure. It's a first-person mech sim/action game, sort of like the later console (Saturn/PS1) versions of Mechwarrior 2 I imagine. Anyway, this is an interesting thing and I've kind of wanted it for years, but only if I saw a copy and this is the first copy I can remember seeing myself. The second SNES Mechwarrior game, Mechwarrior 3050, I got years ago and like; that one is isometric, kind of like Desert Strike but more fun than that game. This is a quite different thing less well suited for the SNES, but it looks decent to good for the time at least, so that's nice. (This game, Mechwarrior, is PC and SNES only, but Mechwarrior 3050 was also released on the Genesis under a different name, Battletech. I have no idea why they changed the name, but I have it on SNES.)
I also saw a loose cart copy of Chrono Trigger for $100. I did not buy it and still don't own that game.
