I, like all of you, love StarTropics.
So, a while ago, I was in Little Tokyo in L.A. In a random awesome junk store, I found an original box for StarTropics, priced $40. I was ready to pay that right there! So I asked the counter man if I could buy it and he said, "Sure! $20!" I was so suprized and happy I just paid and left smiling for the rest of the day. The box (which was opened previously) was in pristine condition, and had all the original paperwork, including the 747 letter! Now, I'm going to frame the box, game & all, to preserve it forever!
Now, where to get Zoda's Revenge...

Forget the Hollywood mess. If I was host, I'd have Wheel tape on C-Island. :)

SWEET!!! If you can find more of those for other games, I suggest you grab them. They really will be worth something one day (though I don't exactly know when that day will be...LOL)

Indeed they are. I would suggest scouring eBay. That's where I got my copies of StarTropics and Zoda's Revenge brand new...NEVER OPENED!
There's a couple of links to pics in the thread called "Bragging Rights".
