Out of pure nosey interest, how did you end up with sealed versions in your garage [MENTION=1397]Mr Ono[/MENTION]? Did you buy them when they were contemporary and just never unseal them?

Bought back in the day with intent to play them but ...... children, release of Gamecube, work, etc etc meant they stayed on my study shelf for ages until relegated to loft - all unopened.
Loft extension started in 2013, so moved into garage (hence photo - see link I posted to Reddit) where they are now (I hope) buried at the back somewhere.
It’s turned into a truly grim place for buying retro - a lot of it is overpriced tat, where joe public thinks they have a gold nugget in there possession.
The Mario 64 thing is baffling to me just because it's such a common game. You'd think there would be sealed ones turning up every so often just due to the sheer amount of copies in circulation. Probably a load all over the world in the back of ex-catalogue shops, independent electronics shops who don't pay much attention to their stock room, folks who got them new and never ended up getting round to playing them for whatever reason.
My mum worked at an ex-catalogue place and they had sealed copies of various Master System games in about 2006. I got Ecco for a fiver.
