Back in the day, you can just ask for them and they would mail them to you for free. I have no idea why, as one does have to have an internet connection to play/use the game, but it was nice they offered to do so. Sorry for using the old pics made for a different thread, just wanted to use a pic with Chrono Trigger on it for this thread.

At one time I was pretty hyped before it came out. The intro music just got me so excited. However the soundtrack, on the whole, has this dreamlike feel to me. Never did finish the game, because my original Playstation finally decided it no longer likes any angle or being upside down anymore. A shame since I thought it was visually impressive aesthetically. I really should play through this one day ...

Don't mind the picture, dug it out for an old posting about what Xbox sent me (the toolbox).

It's all dependent on the game. I got Chrono Trigger for SNES (my very first preorder), and I love the game play it every now and then, and I've kept it and I'm not exactly willing to let it go because I do play it every now and then. So I have already reduced the supply with the ones I got. I think others have also fallen in love with the game and got their own as well, and will likely keep it. Fortunately for Chrono Trigger, it is still widely available on Playstation, DS, and a variety of digital platforms like PSN. The game is also readily emulated everywhere, which is another option which may have increased the demand for someone wanting the real thing as well (maybe to show off). Constant praise of the game from various outlets like youtube or this very board just adds that extra "word of mouth" advertisement. There is great demand, but fortunately supply in terms of digital options are plentiful but the old SNES carts have long ceased production. There are still plenty of Super Famicom carts, and a lot of original Playstation copies (Japan and US to my knowledge) floating around for cheap.

The game I wanted which was the hardest for me to find was a Japanese Sega Saturn game called WWF In Your House. I do not think WWF was very popular in Japan (it may have its following) and the game itself wouldn't blow anyone's mind. I did finally find it, and it was less than $1USD (plus $10 shipping) still brand new but it took me years to find. I unsealed the game, played it, and was contented. Just saying, sometimes hard to find may not mean expensive.
