Here in Texas I think all anybody ever played was Nintendo and then Sony
stuff. That's all I see in pawn shops, and most of the mom&pop shops
have been put out of business in recent years. I got so sick of seeing
stacks of PS1+2 games, a few rows of cart only SNES and NES stuff and
then Madden and NHL Genesis titles that I stopped looking sometime last
year. A friend of mine has made it a hobby to hit all of the pawn shops
in the area every week, he still only finds good Sega stuff ones or
twice a month, whereas he buys mainstream stuff several times a week.

New car purchase got me. I'll be down until new years at this rate.
