Need SNES games

Alas, after unpacking in my new apartment, I've discovered to my horrors that all of my SNES games were missing. It's like a part of my childhood had been stolen. So now I am in need of some SNES games, used or new I don't care as long as they work. If anyone has any of the following games, please PM me or something and see if we can reach a deal. I can only pay in PayPal.
1) Zelda: Link To The Past
2) Chrono Trigger
3) Final Fantasy 2 and 3
4) Breath of Fire 1 and 2
5) Super Mario World
6) Super Metroid
7) Shadowrun
Thanks.

Not sure if this helps, but you can find these games on the internet, and use an emulator to play them on your PC for free.
It's how I got to playing Castlevania, Contra, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Mike Tyson's Punchout all over again.

I know I can find these games and play them on an emulator, but it's only legal if I actually own those cartridges. But since I have lost them, I cannot legally play those games using an emulator. And besides, I would like to have the actual cartridges, because the TV has better picture quality than the VGA monitor.

As you can read in the
forum rules discussing those things here isn't alowed by the site's owner.

Stilgar is correct. The original poster was requesting to purchase the SNES games, not illegally emulate them. Any type of illegal discussion is not condoned here.

Must have something in there.

That's the first place I've tried. But the problem is, the prices go up ridiculously high on eBay. For example, I saw Chrono Trigger on eBay sell for $50+. There is no way I am going to pay that much for a SNES game.

Another place is gameStop, they have a bunch of old games and new ones, all previously owned (except the new ones). I'm not sure if you have any near you, but it is worth a try. (The games sell for from what I've seen, most under $3!)

I used to have Zelda, Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy 2&3, Breath of Fire 1&2, and Super Mario World. I let my mom give all my super nintendo stuff away several years ago after I quit playing it. I feel really dumb now, knowing that several of those titles are worth a pretty penny
. Sorry I can't help you though. One of my friends payed $100 for a mint condition unopened Chrono Trigger. That's when I really started feeling crappy about losing my games, lol.

I remember playing that game years ago when I was 8-10 years old and games did not cost 40 bucks back then unless you were ordering a game straight from japan that wasn't released in america. I bet you could go down to your nearest Game Stop or were ever a game trading store is near you and get that game for 10-15 bucks now.
But, you're right the game is worth 40 bucks.

Another is Super Mario RPG. That and the fact that it was mint conditioned(so never used) is why that person would've spent $100 on it. I don't think your used version of the game would've brought that in.
Buying one of the greatest SNES games as mint conditioned I think is the only reason that game is worth so much like that.

This website always has an excellent selection of SNES games, although most are used and the boxed games tend to disappear very quickly. I'm in the UK and I've used them a few times. I'm sure they will ship abroad. Certainly worth a look.
