Got RE Revelations 2 for $15
Saved $25 on their miss labeling.
I loved the first one on the 3ds

Nice Russ! Just picked up a sealed Code STEAM for $12 from EB. Not sure why it was discounted so low, but I'm eager to try it out

I am very tired.

1 more game away from the 1K club now

Amiibo scores part 1, my wife waited in line for me this morning at Target and TRU for Jiggly, Silver, and Ninja. I got the Little Mac and Villager amiibos shipped from PlayAsia after my order was cancelled and refunded. I e-mailed them to ask and they told me there was an error in the system for many that ordered during the same day, so I ended up with those two for free. :) Now I just need Marth, Fit Trainer, and Pit to complete my set thus far.

[img width=700 height=393]http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m232/Scott_Breaze/WP_20150529_002_zpsorkzumiq.jpg[/img]

I had the most luck I've had in a long time amiibo hunting yesterday.  I was at Target and all they had new was Pac Man.  A guy there came up to me and my friends and said Best Buy had a silver mario, a dragon man, and a girl with a sword.  So we quickly proceeded to check out and went one block over to Best Buy and sure enough, at their customer pick up station they had new amiibos, limit one per person.  They had Silver Mario and Charizard, but no Lucina unfortunately.  Thee extra Silver Mario and Charizard will likely be up for trade for anyone who didn't get one.  I got those there and while looking at the 3DS games I saw something that didn't belong in the cage they were keeping Xbox Ones and a Wii U.  There was a Majora's Mask New 3DS sitting in there.  My wife offered to buy it for me as an anniversary present instead of the present she was previously going to get me.  (our anniversary isn't until August) So I ended up with a surprise new 3DS.  Gamestop had Wario, and when my friend went to Toys R Us, he said there was a Greninja,(not pictured)  which he was nice enough to grab for me. I had a really good day yesterday.

Finally managed to grab a GameCube (I'm very late to the party), but for more than i intended to pay. Not a total bust thought because it had all cords and came with 5 games* and 3 memory cards and a Nintendo Power guide for Pokemon: XD Gale of Darkness.

*Games:
Pokemon: Colosseum
Pokemon: XD Gale of Darkness
The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker (Player's Choice)
Super Mario Sunshine (Player's Choice)
Pokemon Channel (Game Only)

Paid $40 for all.

I have a Star Wars Demo disc available if you would like to trade for it.  ;D

that's actually an amazing deal, around here i wouldn't be able to find Windwaker alone for less than $40, and gamecube systems tend to start around $25 now.

Scored some stuff today while out and about. First up, my modest garage sale scores :
[img width=700 height=700]http://i349.photobucket.com/albums/q388/MetalFRO/Mobile%20Uploads/2015-05/7A87C638-7160-4186-9BD0-7FF025BB43CD.jpg[/img] (http://s349.photobucket.com/user/MetalFRO/media/Mobile%20Uploads/2015-05/7A87C638-7160-4186-9BD0-7FF025BB43CD.jpg.html)

The price on the dance pad is real, and they included a DDR game in the bag.  Works with PS1, PS2, & XBOX.  Here's what I picked up between a pair of Goodwill stores:

And for my last trick, the grand finale, my pawn shop haul:

WARRANT!!!! My second concert was them opening up for Poison. Uncle Tom's Cabin is my favorite song on that album. RIP Jani Lane.

4, 5, and 6 remaining.  There's a story behind this shreaded manual in the Ebay winnings thread.

So........you're playing with us this month.....RIGHT?

Hell yes.  I'll be able to do more playthroughs from now on.  :)

Good find, RetroRage.  So jealous  ;D

Around here GCs are still common and in the $15 range. This is the second copy I've seen of the PC Windwaker show up in my area recently too and the other one was $20.

Brand new, this is all I found today.

That's pretty cool shoboni.  I kinda like exclusive original xbox stuff.  Even the really bad games for the system has a unique charm.

Amiibo scores: Part Deux

Sweet scores, SB! Love the pac-man lamp. I also still need to get that second fire emblem game in your pic.

These walked into my local shop and then walked out with me.

[img width=700 height=525]http://i.imgur.com/TWg9gvQ.jpg[/img]

Rockman Battle & Fighters and SNK vs. Capcom: The Match of the Millennium for Neo Geo Pocket Color.

The shop got a good deal on them, and the owner passed those savings on to me.  I paid $40 for the pair and was able to use trade-in credit to cover that cost.  Probably my best find in the wild in a long time.

I heard horror stories from some of the local collectors about the lack of those two and even a fight breaking out over Robin inside of TRU. I am glad my wife was able to pre-order all 9 in store and wait in line for me on Friday to get the other 3.

6 down, 4 and 5 remaining...

Here are my pickups over the past few days. My best friend from out NY just moved out here, I went to go help him unpack over the weekend, and he was going to get rid of the PS3 Fat that is Backwards Compatible because it has YLOD issue. So he gave it to me instead. I am going to get it fixed soon.

I got Megaman 8 Anniversary Edition for 5.00 from Goodwill. It does not have the special booklet though.

Got the boxed Donkey Konga for 4.00, no game, but the bongos are in there.

These beauties just came in the mail from singlebanana.

[img width=700 height=525]http://i.imgur.com/r45mWzu.jpg[/img]

Streets of Rage, Golden Axe, and Sanrio Carnival.  I never see Streets of Rage or Golden Axe in the wild locally, so I had to pick these up.  And I never say no to cheap Famicom carts.  Thanks, SB!

@Ikariniku: Those are great pickups! You can never have too many Famicom carts.

Streets of Rage has one of my favorite soundtracks on the Genesis.

http://www.factmag.com/2015/05/22/streets-of-rage-shenmue-vinyl/

@singlebanana: Where did you buy that lamp?

@addicted - I bought it locally for around $20 with tax.  Looks like they have them on eBay, but for about double that.

Hey everyone. My brother picked up a few things at the Ultimate Indoor Garage Sale last weekend and I grabbed a few things from work in case they discontinue them. 

-Growlanser is missing the Soundtrack but everything else is still there. 
-Indy came from a local store that he wanted me to pick up for him.
-Betryal is a Variant but he got it for $2.00 ---haven't decided if it will be up for grabs.
-The Aladdin Lunchbox is complete with Thermos pretty much brand new ---funny thing is it's an Aladdin Lunchbox by the company Aladdin ;-D

-The Super Mario Fruit Snacks, Super Mario Cambell's Soup & Super Mario Spaghettio's are from work.  Also Not pictured but I will post it later is a Grab N' Go Doritos Bag unopened that me and my crew found wedged between shelves it is a Halo:Reach Bag :-)

Everything else but the Palm OS Golf Game was from the Ultimate Garage Sale (Including the lunchbox & Betryal)

[img width=700 height=526]http://i.imgur.com/gfOKBsi.jpg[/img]

@Nick Let's see that Growlanser bling!

Here's my latest, both from Leaptrade. Lightning Returns has the distinction of being the first game I've gotten in the mail in Texas.

@singlebanana: That Pacman lamp looks great 8)

That is sweet.  I want one!

I have an Asian bootleg of the Streets of Rage soundtrack. I have no clue how it found its way here, but apparently they took the Bare Knuckle soundtrack and Americanized it.

@Shadow:

Nice! I'd like to see a picture.

Speaking of Streets of Rage and Sega have you seen the Cook & Becker prints?

$33 shipped, Ebay.  Only Mega Man 5 to go!

@Addicted:
The cover is a scan taken from a now-defunct emulation site, ZoneSega.com. The disk seems like it might be a custom label, but the insert seems WAY overdone for just a simple hack job. It's proper card stock, has a screenshot with professional image editing techniques, and just overall seems like it was done by someone with proper publishing skills. The CD itself also has very high quality tracks - I think they are 192kbps.

So is anybody else getting the Streets of Rage and/or Shenmue waxes?

http://data-discs.com/collections/all

I'm thinking about the Street of Rage one

Grabbed this Kingdom Heart HD collection thing for $20 at Wal-Mart, KH1 was one of my favorite games as a kid and this gives me a chance to play it for trophies and try out the two side-games it comes with.

I have my eye open for the other one that includes KH2 as well.

Better hurry. They're already out of the splatter LE LP. I got red.

Those sold out in minutes.

I count myself lucky, then, because I preordered the splatter SoR vinyl.

I had a couple nice finds yesterday after my dentist appointment:

My brother picked this up at Target today.

$19.99+Tax

[img width=700 height=525]http://i.imgur.com/fa5CgK2.jpg[/img]

Garage sales were kind of weak this weak, but the weather wasn't exactly good so I sort of expected it.  This upcoming weekend could be one of my biggest in a while, so here's hoping it makes up for it.

[img width=522 height=639]http://i62.tinypic.com/13zts89.jpg[/img]

This is my Amazon stuff.  Yeah.  It's been kind of dry lately.

[img width=640 height=528]http://i62.tinypic.com/negakw.jpg[/img]
[img width=639 height=345]http://i58.tinypic.com/30accc7.jpg[/img]

These are random picks ups from Stores and what not, and yes I guess I did take pictures of three of the games twice.  The strategy guides were $5 each from 5 Below.  The PC games in the second picture along with Glory of Heracles were from Best Buys clearance sale.  The PC games were $1 each and GoH was $6.  Pretty sexy prices.  Call of Cthulhu was from Disc Replay and I have been looking for this game for so God damned long, I actually started shaking a bit when I found it.  I can't WAIT to give this a spin.  Modern Warfare 2 Hardened Edition was only $3.

[img width=639 height=530]http://i62.tinypic.com/sxkw2h.jpg[/img]

This was all I found from garage sales, and I already had five of the things in the picture, but one was to replace a disc only copy of Singstar and the other I got because I wanted to leave my Tetris plug and play sealed.  They were only $1 a piece.  Guitar Hero 3, Jampack and the Hot Newz VHS, I don't know what I was thinking.  They were only 25 cents to $1 a piece, so there's that.  I included the VHS tapes I got because first of all the movies are awesome, and second this was included with Killer Tomatoes 1:

[img width=634 height=640]http://i60.tinypic.com/2uhlds2.jpg[/img]

Now that's pretty damn cool.

Finally I found this at a thrift store at the beginning of the week:

[img width=508 height=640]http://i57.tinypic.com/315hlro.jpg[/img]

It would be cool enough just for what it is, but what makes it even better is that it's the 1st printing of the 1st edition of this version of the Monster Manual.  One in worse condition than the one I found sold recently for over $400 on Ebay.  I paid 20 cents.  Spiderman 32x, you will be mine.

A few goodies.  First is the winning game from the playthrough last month, Ultimate Basketball (519) was through a deal with Bickman and he threw in the awesome NES lanyard!

Getting back into the swing of yard sales:

[img width=640 height=480]http://i.imgur.com/A4OJ7SBl.jpg[/img] (http://imgur.com/A4OJ7SB)

Pokemon Gold Version, sealed for $5. Sitting next to a $60 fat PS2. Gotta love those wacky prices!

The rest were from the same sale, guy had a ton of 360 games for either $1 or $3. Most in empty cases with no inserts, which was weird. Spent $6 total.

Hey now...

Byee

Well, ahem. Nice Lunar 2. I hope to get one in that condition someday. But my chances of getting it for that price, are about as good as winning the lotto.

 Moving on to my scores of late. I too, got some Working Designs games, courtesy of Lukiegames. The top three were from Crabby:

[img width=700 height=525]http://i1375.photobucket.com/albums/ag478/michaelrancourt/3E9B90A1-DF33-4B2E-B0F3-D47A1E7939BF_zps0bcfvu5l.jpg[/img] (http://s1375.photobucket.com/user/michaelrancourt/media/3E9B90A1-DF33-4B2E-B0F3-D47A1E7939BF_zps0bcfvu5l.jpg.html)

Is that super-freaky-lookin' dude on the cover of Vasteel one of the main characters?  :P

I've heard that character has abs of Vasteel!!

I heard differently.

[img width=258 height=475]http://images.amazon.com/images/P/6303182135.01._SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg[/img]

On another note, does everybody else run into a copy of this every time they go thrifting? Or is it just me?

I would have pointed out the scary phantom on the cover of Vasteel, but somehow knew the "Norch would do it for me.

Just you, someone is trying to tell you something...

Hey, intensely tone THIS target! OH!!!

Decent day at a local shop. Final Fight 2, not in the best condition, but good enough at $25. I've heard good things about Blur and I like to have at least one good racing game per system.

[img width=700 height=522]http://i1029.photobucket.com/albums/y359/necrom99/Video%20Game%20Scores/8CA5A76F-81CA-4CCF-96E3-C145F9544A83_zpspfn6wvvg.jpg[/img]

Here are some games I've collected over the past 2 months. Some I've already posted here, but here's all of them at once:

[img width=700 height=386]http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a136/DarkTheThief/RetroGames_zpsxnso2km7.png[/img]

And I also imported this via Play-Asia. In fact, if you look up the game here on RF, I added the title and it's respective images. :P

[img width=419 height=513]http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a136/DarkTheThief/SAO_zpsrkjo4mrc.png[/img]

Do you own a Japanese Vita? Or is that one not region locked? I would LOVE to be able to play some SAO, even if I can't understand what is going on. ;)

Vita games are region free, and for this particular game, if your System Settings are set to English, the Game will be in English too. :)

Putty Squad Boxed for the Amiga! :drool:
A follow-up to the 1992’s Amiga game Putty.

[img width=700 height=553]http://s25.postimg.cc/y4zwew2lb/Putty4.jpg[/img]

The game was like a holy grail for Amiga enthusiasts because it famously never saw the light of day despite it was completed in 1994, had good reviews, a demo and the SNES version was released on time. If you visited Amiga forums in Christmas 2013, it was a time of surprise because the original Amiga version was finally released on Christmas day, thanks to the developers System 3 and members of the Amiga community as a free digital download almost 20 years after it was supposed to have come out!

The game even got a full authentic box replica made in 2015 in 100 copies of how it looked if you had picked it up in 1994 :)

The Amiga version has quite the story:

Hey all my brother had a rummage/trade sale at his company picnic so he got all of the guides for $1.00 a piece

The Comic Book - Scud: The Disposable Assassin  WHICH is video game related thanks the the Sega Saturn Game! - It even came with the tattoo!

Cover Ops also came from the rummage sale and was $0.50

[img width=700 height=526]http://i.imgur.com/i0ON1q4.jpg[/img]

Good set of guides. Impressive on the Secret of Mana one.

@Shadow: Thanks for the pics!

Welp, here's one of my latest hauls. I won all of these from trivia contests over on the Atari.io website.

Now to get an actual NES to play them on.

A few Super Nintendo grabs for me the other day for a great price:

Finally, I got something good from Goodwill:

Sorry for falling into nearly full time lurker. I do lurk though, looking at all the shiny things you guys keep getting. If I was commenting though, seems like most of the time it would just be some iteration of, "Whoa! Neat! Nice grab!"......which I would do for like every other post in this thread.



For the most part we haven't been out looking for games. Haven't even been going to garage sales I'm sad to say. My time has been mostly taken up with boring adult stuff. Any of you know how that is? Can't stay out of it completely though, so here are a few small things and one big one for ya all to take a lookin at:



Couple of games and a cable. Sins of a Solar Empire I have on Steam but I like to collect real games too you know. Tribes 2, can't pass that up. A cable I didn't really think was that component cable for the Gamecube but as I didn't remember exactly what it looked like I grabbed it.....this is all thrift store stuff and prices to match by the way.

The Ultimate History of Video Games, actually got this a couple months ago but didn't remember to post it until I saw it a couple pages back in small-scores. The Haynes manual because someone might be getting a sweet pickup from a farm shortly.

I promised a big score. Not big like as in NWC cart or a baby or something like that. Something better.




Blinking Light Win was an awkwardly name Kickstarter.  https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/113891498/blinking-light-win-resurrecting-your-nes

Got it today, and raced to put it in and be the first to post about it here.

Arcade Works is making them to sell from their website:
http://www.arcadeworks.net/hardware/blw.html





While this thing is great and obviously I was willing to Kickstart it, I think of it more as an interesting mod rather than a better-than-original solution. The NES I took out from under that TV still works fine after 30ish years and will make it's way up to the game room. It will be fantastic if this new thing works that long (there is nothing to doubt that it will.) Other solutions for hard to start NESs are totally valid too.

Congrats on getting the BLW up and running! I got my tracking number on Saturday, so I hope it arrives tomorrow. As long as this one works as well as everyone says it does, I'll be ordering another when they restock for my PAL NES. Excited!

Cool NES mod.

I haven't updated in awhile so this will be a big one for me.  This represents about a month and a half or so.

The Hori Mini Famicom controller and white non-analog PS1 controller came from a friend of mine; I traded 2 SNES repros for it (King of Demons and Rendering Ranger R2).

Mega Man X4, X5, X6 are replacements for me.  I sold the previous set I had in a misguided "thinning the collection" move about a year ago.  These all came from the same shop over a period of a few weeks.  X4 and X5 came on the same day and they were $25 together.  X6 came 2 weeks later and was $15.

Raycrisis came from another local store.  My roommate went and saw it there for $20 and sent me a text asking me if I wanted it.  Uh, yeah!  I didn't actually pay out of pocket for this; I traded him a copy of Monster Kingdom Jewel Summoner on PSP that I paid... $20 for.  Works for me.

The Everdrives came 2 weeks ago and they are meant to replace my cartridges which I sold in one bulk chunk about a month ago.  I actually don't regret this at all but Famicom and Famicom Disk System are now the only pre-PS1 items I collect now.

Super Mario Galaxy 2 was from Half Price Books.  For once they finally live up to their name on game prices because the other local stores want $40 for it.

I picked up The Witcher 3 brand new and am having quite a bit of fun with it.  After a loooong game drought where nothing was interesting me, this comes along and makes me enjoy my PS4 again.

Champions: Return to Arms was a *choice* thrift store grab for $4.50.

The minty clean 3DS and a roughed up GBA SP were gotten in a trade for a good chunk of my old UGC cases.  Since I sold all my cartridge games, I no longer needed the cases that I had.  I had sold some of them over a period of a few months and the 58 that were left were traded for these items.

The PC Engine controller showed up in a Facebook game trading group for $17 and I got it in the mail last weekend.  Still fresh off the plane from Japan, the controller was torn down and the plug was swapped for a DIN connector whixh the US TG16.

After our recent Shining Force community playthrough, I got my hands on a few Shining series games.  Shining Force II, Shining Soul II, and Shining Force: Resurrection of the Dark Dragon.

[img width=700 height=525]http://i295.photobucket.com/albums/mm155/DisposedHero/Game%20Scores/CAM01343.jpg[/img] (http://s295.photobucket.com/user/DisposedHero/media/Game%20Scores/CAM01343.jpg.html)

All of the PS4 games were from GameStop through various sales/promotions.  I got Mario Party 10 on sale from Best Buy.

[img width=700 height=525]http://i295.photobucket.com/albums/mm155/DisposedHero/Game%20Scores/CAM01345.jpg[/img] (http://s295.photobucket.com/user/DisposedHero/media/Game%20Scores/CAM01345.jpg.html)

And last but not least is a cool lot I got from a trade with my good pal GrayGhost81.  He sent me some good obscure games that I've been trying to get my hands on for a while.

@Disposed Hero: Those are some great games... Shining Force/Soul 2, Go Go Hypergrind... nice!

Some great titles Disposed! I really enjoyed Breakthru. Jealous of the Shining Soul! I have the other two and they are awesome games good to see you got a CIB copy of SF 2 that is sweet!

Been a while since I've posted, or been out hunting for that matter.  Work and holidays getting in the way for a while now :(

Anyhow, I picked these goodies up from StJackie over on Famicom World sometime around the end of February or the start of March...  damn I'm behind...

Street Fighter II and Shin Megami Tensei II for SFC, and Starfox 64 and Star Twins for N64

And Nupoile, sweet NES mod.

This came in the mail today after 1 month of waiting...

Mega Man 5 box is all that's missing now....

Holy cow! I missed some AWESOME scores! Can't leave this place for a second without someone posting something incredible.

During my absence banana sent me Legend of Dragoon which I'm very excited about. Thank you so much! Also picked up Fallout 1-3 on Steam during the weekend sale.

I was debating
o man yeah i was following that kickstarter. I might have to grab this now. Looks great.

That sure is a nice Mega Man 4 Boxed.

I went out game hunting in Mass. I'll post a link to the YouTube video. Here are a few grabs

@russlymnay. Nice pickups, Monster Party has always been a fave of mine. What other game is there where you can fight Tempura Shrimp?!

Here are my pickups.

I already had the box to Pitfall, was able to find the cart for cheap at my local game store, which they often have good prices on Atari stuff.  Paid 6.50 for the Pitfall cart.

Its been a long time since I have seen Atari games at a thrift store, so I picked up what I did not have, sadly I came home to realize I already had Fireworld (Not Pictured) :(.  I am only missing Waterworld in the series, as I found out.

Found the Vagrant Guard guide for 3.00, pretty cool guide with a red ribbon bookmark, great full color guide. Don't own the game but the guide is cool.

@russlyman - Nice pickups.  How much you pay?

Another Steelbook! It also still has the soundtrack CD! - £2.50

I love Monster Party.  It's a fantastic underrated side scroller.  it's creepy imagery is the best.  It always freaked me out as a kid when that giant tree/cactus thing in the first level changed the environment from a happy place into an undead type of landscape.  I love the games' weird dialogue, dancing onion rings, colorful levels....a great game for anyone who hasn't played it yet.

Sorry,
I'm dead.

Thanks.
Monster party was $15 (just got the manual on eBay $4)
Top gun second mission $5
Mario kart 64 $20
3d dot Hero $10

@russlyman: 3D Dot Game Heroes is pretty good. Don't let my weak skills deter you.

^Second 3D Dot Game heroes is pretty good I enjoyed it a lot.  Also great scores Russ and Mumbo I really like that Driver CE.

@nupoile, Hey, I forgot to comment on the awesome Blinking Light NES Mod.  Pretty Awesome way to solve the problem and having a region free NES. Hopefully it will come back in stock soon, and then I can pick it up and finally get to play Konami's Noah's Ark.

 The instructions look easy enough but how easy was it really to install?

@Fokakis   It's fairly easy to install. If a person was comfortable with opening up a console or PC or the like, it would be pretty simple for them. The NES just uses Philips head screws, so that's easy. Once all the screws are out you just pull out the old tray and connector and put the new ones in. The connector slips onto the board as easy as a game would. The nice thing about this mod is that it is 100% reversible. You can put the old parts back just as easy.

I don't think they are "out of stock" in their store, so much as it's more like they are getting them out to all the Kickstarter backers before they even stock the store. Duke backed it too and he hasn't posted that he's got his yet. We are still in the middle of fulfillment for backers.

The only downside I can see to it is how tough it is to get carts back out once you've put them in. So far pinching the edges and wiggling a little is what works. It isn't super tough but I doubt a child could get a game back out. Over time though it should loosen up a little, I'm guessing.

An upside though is it's making me want to play the NES more!

This is my newest Atari haul from a local flea market.
Haunted House, Joust, Galaxian, Mouse Trap, Frogger, G.I.Joe: Cobra Strike, Keystone Kapers, Stampede, and M.A.D.

Nice work nabbing that G.I Joe.

Yeah, I've never seen it before.

I need A CIB G.I. Joe for my collection.

Scored these guys yesterday.

Not too shabby. The punisher plays like the NES one.
And I never played Mario Party ds so we will see if I keep it or not.

Monster Party has one of the more interesting stories around its original release, as it was originally called Monster Party: Parody World. An interesting write-up of the prototype is here:
https://tcrf.net/Proto:Monster_Party

Some pretty nice scores in there. M.A.D. was one of my favorite games as a kid. It has a really fun 2 player mode. Can't go wrong with Joust and some Activision titles.

Man, that is awesome.  I wish they could have kept the Movie Monsters intact.  That sounded great. A gremlin!

....aaaaaand I think I'm done collecting for the PSP. Thanks Disposed Hero for another awesome parcel!

My advice to you is to rip that Ys soundtrack right now.

Cool, I will do that when I rip the Persona OSTs.

I had a GREAT shopping day out yesterday! Here are my GameCube Goodwill finds:
[img width=700 height=700]http://i349.photobucket.com/albums/q388/MetalFRO/Mobile%20Uploads/2015-06/74F00D44-538C-4B74-9B03-CBAB4993D607.jpg[/img] (http://s349.photobucket.com/user/MetalFRO/media/Mobile%20Uploads/2015-06/74F00D44-538C-4B74-9B03-CBAB4993D607.jpg.html)

And between 2 Goodwill locations, here are my original PlayStation finds:

All but the NES cart are Goodwill finds, but the NES game came from a new game shop in my area:

Metal I didn't know you lived in NE haha I live in Iowa right next to Omaha, NE.  Not much left around here..but you got some good picks there.

Man those are some stellar Goodwill finds. Right on. Are all the disk in good shape ?


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

@Russlyman: some of them are semi-scratched, which is par for the course, but they could all be buffed out if they're unplayable. And yes, it's probably one of my best overall finds, especially with the GC stuff.

@GamerNick: I'm about 3 hours west of Omaha. I would love to coordinate a meetup at some point, if you had occasion to be in the Omaha/Council Bluffs area.

@metal I live in cb so I am down for whenever you want to meet I am off Thursday's and fridays usually except for the next 3 weeks straight almost I'll be working. We could coordinate for sure.

After having gone through all relevant stores i have to say i was disappointed to find out there aren't any pre-GC/Xbox/PS2 games being sold in my city.

On the upside i was recently in Kennesaw with some friends and they had a 2nd & Charles so i grabbed a $2 Combat for the Atari 2600 while i was down there because i won't find stuff that old here.

Just posted a pick up video of a few things.

My local game shop got a doozy in the other day.

[img width=700 height=420]http://i.imgur.com/LEtVnU1.jpg?1[/img]

Run Saber!  This one of my SNES holy grails, and one of the very, very few that isn't a beat 'em up.

Now, I had actually gone there to pick up these two games:

[img width=700 height=420]http://i.imgur.com/9bAozGq.jpg[/img]

Wizards and Warriors III and Jurassic Park.  I had completely forgotten that Jurassic Park had come out on the NES.

I picked up all three for $78.  Pretty retail-y prices.  What makes this a score is that I paid for it all with store credit I had from flipping games.  It was pretty cool.

Nice grabs Ikariniku. Gotta love flippin' games to get goodies for the collection.

When are you getting your Blinking Light Win Duke? I can't wait!

Already installed it! I used it when I beat Mega Man 3 the other day. I haven't posted on SS yet.

Decided on a whim to hit a thrift store and indulge in one of my favorite past times: digging through music cds in search of random PC games.

[img width=700 height=393]http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c394/bombatomba77/20150618_160857_zpsxb1rotzq.jpg[/img]

I was really hoping for a great CD of random DOS/Win 3.1 shareware (I love those).  This isn't it, but it's not horrible.

After a week or so of feeling burnt out on hunting for stuff, I got back out there.  Here is what I picked up. Everything is from the thrifts except for the Atari 5200 version of Miner 2049er.

[img width=700 height=524]https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/8vlsU6d58CWzTpf9vWYw3RHyC8nhdUqynykFZz2scwE=w871-h653-no[/img]

I got Miner 2049er from ebay for 20.00, which is a pretty good deal for this game. Even though the box is in pretty bad shape, it is still a good deal. I believe I am now 1 or 2 games away from having half the library of the Atari 5200.

Everything else were cheap thrift store finds. I paid like 10.00 total for all the games. 3.00 each for the guides.  Trigger Happy is a book about video games impacting culture. 

That's how I found my copy of Ys for the Turbo CD, $2.00.;D I search the music CDs all the time but that was definitely my best find.  Usually it's just PS1 games now.  I still hold out hope that one of the workers will think games are music CDs. ;D

Hey All! Well I didn't know if I was supposed to post the NES games so here it goes! I got all of these from our very own Wildbil who has helped me get quite a few games I need for my collection and some great upgrades as well! Thanks so much Bil!! Looking forward to hopefully doing some more business down the road.  This has been in the works for a while and I really again want to thank him!

-From Bil - All of them are Complete in Box -

Top Row of Games - These were all games I needed to cross off my list: Crash 'n' The Boys, Great Waldo Search, Mafat Conspiracy, Race America, Roundball 2 on 2, Target: Renegade, Ultimate Air Combat. 

Second Row - These were all upgrades to my collection
-720*, Adventures in Gilligan's Island, Contra Force, Dig Dug II, Dragon's Lair, Pirates!, Young Indiana Jones Chronicles

My Brothers Pick ups -
-How To Win At Nintendo Games - First Print Release - From Half Price Books $2.00
-Riviera: The Promised Land - GBA - Complete In Box Mint - He got from a local store cheap
-LEGO Jurassic World - Target Exclusive (I think)
-LEGO Jurassic World Strategy Guide - From GameStop - Little back story this guide except for Amazon or other online outlets his hard to track down my friend Scott said most GameStops got 2-4 guides.
-Two Odysessy 2 Manuals to complete our copies

[img width=700 height=526]http://i.imgur.com/EbQpGX6.jpg[/img]

Then! Of course my brother passed me money so I could buy some Big Box PC Games from another one of our very own NES_Rules!  Thanks so much!!!  He really enjoyed going through them!

i finally have some scores to share! most of these have been sitting around for a while, i've just been waiting for one of them to come in the mail...

First photo are all CIB:
Myst V End of Ages - PC
The Legend of Zelda A Link Between Worlds - 3DS
Alien Hominid - Gamecube (case and cover art will need a replacement on this one)
Phantasy Star III Generations of Doom - Genesis

Worms Armageddon manual - N64
Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine manual - N64

and last but not least one of the next most expensive CIB n64 titles after Sculptor's Cut:
Super Bowling - CIB - N64

This came in the mail today. I won it on a gaming site I frequent Wednesday.

[img width=600 height=800]https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CHkwK_mW8AEJP0q.jpg:large[/img]

Both for 80$ CAD so p much half price <3

Two weekends ago was a bi annual flea market that I always score huge at.  On top of that, the day before there was a flea market at a local church and a mile long sale in my town.  The church flea market had two games I already had and the mile long sale didn't happen because they forgot to let anyone know about it.  Nice move assholes.

The bi-annual flea market wasn't a complete bust, but the amount of gaming stuff was way, way down from previous years.  Overall, what was shaping up to be one of my biggest weekends ever turned into a pretty big let down.

I should have included these in my last batch of pictures, but I forgot about them.  They were all brand new and $1 a piece from one of my regular thrifts.  The Interplay compilation is really the only thing that moves the needle for me, but I'll take big box PC games any day.

[img width=639 height=479]http://i62.tinypic.com/2d144t1.jpg[/img]

Kmart is going to stop carrying video games, so they are liquidating everything they have left.  This is what I picked up at a local store. for 90 cents to $3, except for Atelier Meruru and Legendary.  I got those from Gamestop.  Pretty weak stuff.  I got most of the games for my daughter to play and also my inability to walk away from games priced at $3 or less.

[img width=640 height=422]http://i59.tinypic.com/2mzcl1v.jpg[/img]

I picked these up from a garage sale I went to after the Saturday flea market and mile long sale busts.  I paid $25 for the whole lot.

Finally, here's the stuff I picked up from the big flea market:

[img width=639 height=360]http://i61.tinypic.com/2hg65xe.jpg[/img]

Most of the games were $1 a piece except for Monster Hunter which was $5 and Contra Legacy of War which was $2.  Contra also had Twisted Metal 2 in it, so I guess technically those were $1 a piece too.  The Dragon's Lair lunch box has been at the past three flea markets that this seller had gone too, and I finally managed to talk him down to $15.  It doesn't have the Thermos, but it's in pretty good condition.  The Monopoly game is missing most of the player tokens, but has everything else.  For $2 I'm not going to complain too much.

Finally I got these for $2 a piece, because come on.  Look at home awesome these things are.

[img width=640 height=553]http://i61.tinypic.com/i54vv5.jpg[/img]

Admit it, you think these things are boss hog.

Cowhunter? WTF?

Darn the dragons lair lunchbox to go with my dragons lair thermos! SO Jealous! ---also great pick ups lol

It's about time!  Congrats ;)

Some great finds lately, especially in the big box PC realm!  Here's what I scored today!

My GC & PS2 Goodwill finds:
[img width=700 height=700]http://i349.photobucket.com/albums/q388/MetalFRO/Mobile%20Uploads/2015-06/7DB7D8DB-2260-4EA0-B261-F183803955C5.jpg[/img] (http://s349.photobucket.com/user/MetalFRO/media/Mobile%20Uploads/2015-06/7DB7D8DB-2260-4EA0-B261-F183803955C5.jpg.html)

My original PlayStation finds, all CIB, except the original Spyro game. The One Crash game has one of those inserts where it's the heavy card stock with the multiple images that change when you turn it to the left or right, but not an actual manual. Anyone know what that's about, or does anyone else have that edition? I can only assume it belongs with those other Crash "collectors edition" games, but it looks different.  Also, I found a PS2 network adapter disc. I have an adapter already, so that was nice to find.

And another big score of Game Boy manuals from the same game shop as last time! Glad to have that SGB manual also!

Nice grabs metal! So jealous of those spyro black labels and the ape escape black label and love the game boy manuals been dry around here for manuals lately.

Thanks! I already own Spyro 2 & 3, as well as Ape Escape, but all greatest hits versions, so yes, I was super stoked to find original black label copies in the wild, especially at Goodwill, where I wouldn't get honked on the price, just because of the color of the packaging! I thought the 3 Crash games were an interesting find as well, since I'd never seen those before.

Crash 2 should have had a manual.
The lenticular art was from original print runs if memory serves.

Got Smash Brothers for the Wii U for Father's Day!

@MetalFRO Nice selection of PS1 games! I wish I could find more that weren't sport.

The CEs are from the Crash Bandicoot Collectors' Edition:

The lenticular was the original print run, as you mentioned, and has a manual. See here:
http://www.rfgeneration.com/cgi-bin/getinfo.pl?ID=U-061-S-02540-A

I wish I could find PS1 games around here.

Picked up

Just a small pickup. Other stuff is in the mail.

I have wanted that game for awhile, despite not having a PS3.

Yeah figured $20 brand new was ok. I have yet to pop it in. Maybe tonight. I heard you can unlock other games too

Fatal Labyrinth was one of my favs. I'm biased tho.

Great title, got it on Xbox 360.

definitely worth the money, i'm sure you'll get more than 1 community playthrough out of it.

@Zag: Love that TV Scoreboard and walnut grain finish!

@Zagnorch: fantastic finds!

On the subject of the Genesis Collection, I think there's a bit of lag with it, so just be aware.  I was playing through Sonic 2 a while back, and I noticed that it wasn't quite as responsive as I felt it should be, as compared to playing on a Genesis.

were you on HDMI? that can sometimes introduce minute amounts of lag i've heard. i've so far only used it for Phantasy Star, noticed no issues with slow paced games like that.

Hit the other two retro games plus stores that I don't work at and picked up this nice lot.
[img width=700 height=525]http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/06/23/f49f9d47889c9ec2eb97bddc331653bc.jpg[/img]
I got the MadDog McGree off eBay for $10 shipped. Can't wait to play it. Loved the sega CD one.

The T&C Surf Designs and Tiger-Heli were just the boxes since I already had the games. $5 a piece. and I love the Rampage series so had to snag the sequel. I need the manual though.

Also love me some old school shooters so picked up Crypt Killer on the Playstation. Have to check work tomorrow for a justifier.

Good lord, you really are a stalker. I wonder if it's possible to get an international restraining order...


Simple case of CIB versus loose. But then, you're the last person i gotta tell that to.


It's pretty straightforward: the Tandy one has green dice, the Gakken one white.

You're guilty too! :paranoid:

Got the new Batman from Best Buy.  Castlevania: Symphony of the Night came from a trade with FibroFreak.  The PlayStation TV bundle came from Groupon of all places.  I'm not sure what I'm going to do with that thing, but the deal was too good to pass up.  I'm sure I'll make use of it eventually.

Picked up Mobile Light Force and Strikers 1945 from dsheinem, they arrived on Friday

[img width=700 height=394]http://oi62.tinypic.com/efijb6.jpg[/img]

and one day later...

I picked up this cabinet with a Strikers 1945 marquee, Strikers 1945 board, 1943 board, and a spare arcade LCD monitor (not pictured here).  The only problem with the current setup is that the remote settings board had a cracked pot so the CRT is goofy and I can't adjust it.  Anyone have a solution for this? I can't find the board for sale anywhere online (part # on it is 8264P-001B).  It does all work nicely though, of course I did confirm it via the LCD before I bought it.

Replace the potentiometer... Looks easy enough to do. Not sure what value ones to use though.
Someone says (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,82656.msg865537.html#msg865537) that V-Size is a 200 ohm one, so maybe V-Pos is the same?
I don't know if you can get a matching style.

Gonna try and get as many Accolade cardboard box games as I can. Feels like they're the kind of thing that might get harder due to being earlier games in oddly specific boxes.

You could say that particular copy of Silent Service has really got it... the right stuff, that is.

Looks like it's really... hangin' tough there.

Dear lord, why do I keep doing this? Someone please stop me before I pun again! Can't you see I need help?!

Wow. It's been ages since I've posted in here. Money/time/other have really hamstrung my ability to buy anything for the last few months, but I found some time to get out yesterday and came home pretty happy.

The guides are, by far, the best things I found. All three are in terrific shape, and set me back about $45. The Brigandine guide alone can bring nearly double that. Most of the rest, aside from MERCS, were incredibly inexpensive - the Wii games were all $3.99, and the PS1 games $1.99. MERCS was about $17, and is in very nice shape.

A Logitech G19? :P

Man I can't wait to try some VR.

close...it's the G110, essentially the G19 but without the screen ;)


it's extremely complicated to get it working, i've only just got it working with its own demos and some rift-designed videos. went to try it with battlefield 3, no native support so it needs an extra piece of software as a work-around...that costs $50. i'll look into how many other games that software will fix for this, if it's enough it might be worth it. native support in retail games is almost non-existant, every game takes a bunch of research and modding to get it running.

the one that i'm most excited about (because it's best suited to this modding requirement) is Minecraft. gave it a quick try but i must have missed something because it crashed so i'll try again some other time.

tl;dr i'm happy i have it because it is really cool, but unless you're a real enthusiast (which i'd like to think i am) i would highly recommend waiting until the final consumer version is out at retail and there are retail games designed to work with it.

That's pretty neat. I certainly keep and eye on the VR story, planning on getting one myself, trying very hard to hold out for the consumer version. Oculus seems likely but with Valve and others throwing their hats in the ring, I'm not sure which one I'll want when the time comes.....anyways, that's awesome you got one.

Frogger was off ebay and from Brazil. It is one of the few Brazil-only Odyssey2 games. It's not that I am set on picking up everything O2, but when games come up cheap, I'll grab ones I don't have. Because when you have the complete Odyssey^2 library, what are you going to do? Collect for other systems? Pffft!

The INTV game was from a mom&pop used game store about an hour from here. I've been trying to get INTV games CIB when I can but this was there and I didn't have it, you know how it is. The best part was going there with our very own SirPsycho! The wife and I got to hang out with him all yesterday evening. SirPsycho was in the area with family doing family stuff and took the time to meet us. We went to that store, had dinner and went to that apparently famous arcade in Portland, Ground Kontrol. It was pretty fun. SirP got to show me how much better he is than me at Turtles in Time, wife got to play pinball for hours and I got to show off my RoadBlasters skills by getting 4th on their high scores list, with only one try  :)   

All of us got to see what the current Portland Hipster scene is like, my wife told me it was okay because 'I was into retro collecting before it was cool.'

@Slowman - jealous of that Strikers 1945 cab!

The last one.

Nice nupoile, I went to ground kontrol last weekend when I was down there seeing a friend. Pretty nice, little arcade. Also thanks for sharing your finds, feels so refreshing to see pre-nes games.

Nice job, Retrorage, Mega Man 5 is the only one I am missing from the NES releases. And wow does that box look good.

Banana, that is an awesome George Michael Album, you got, now you can shake your ass in your blue jeans while you listen to "Faith"

It's my first arcade cabinet! 

Long term I think I will clean it up, fix/replace the remote adjustment board, and change it to a 1943 cabinet simply because it's not an official Strikers 1945 cabinet.  Plus it already is shaped like many 1943 cabinets in Google image search.  Then I will build a new tabletop or minimal/shortie cabinet around the LCD screen and Strikers 1945 board.  I would really only need to pick up a few buttons, a joystick, a power supply, JAMMA harness, speakers, and appropriate (and preferably cheaply-sourced) wood.  I have the expensive bits of a second cab already.

Found this for £1. It's missing the front inlay.

Won these from Ebay, Number 520 and 521!  Mighty Bomb Jack was $12, while Solomon's Key was $6.25!

Picked up some stuff today from the thrifts. Got this cool Epyx 500XJ Joystick for the Atari 2600 for a couple bucks.

Believe it or not, I did not have LoZ in my collection. Picked it up for a pretty good price. Picked up the 3 of these bookcases and the magazine/record holder, and now I am rearranging my game room. Hopefully this can solve some of my storage issues I was having.

That Epyx 500XJ is my choice of joystick for the 2600. Love mine and as you know, it gets a lot of use.

@Fokakis Your nerd room could use a little artwork.  Perler artwork.  Seriously I've been dying to start a new project.  Let me know if you're interested! (That goes for everyone else too btw)

Going to try it out, I have become a fanatic for collecting controllers and peripherals. Maybe that can be one of my new goals

Both of those are really solid games. Its always nice to still have goodies that far into the collection :)

Fokakis, if you ever want controllers/peripherals, hit me up. I've got 300+ from them being given to me for free with purchases from the flea market over the years, since they were taking up more room than value at the flea market.

Yesterday's scores. All local except the 2600 cart and manual:

That Shenmue is HOT!

Yeah, I got a pre-E3 price on it locally. :)

I have all that Turtles in Time skill because every time I fire up my SNES copy I hook up my Capcom stick for that arcade experience!

Here's all I grabbed during our visit to the game store. I need to find some more Genesis games that can support 4 player fun times! I know General Chaos and Mega Bomberman can.

[img width=700 height=525]http://i.imgur.com/L8z9OxQ.jpg[/img]

Nice, Psycho!  Im familiar with the 4 way play but never seen a team player

Uhhhhhhhhh.............yeah, so I grabbed another copy at a good price today. Anyone need? Happy to work out a trade or cash.  PM with interest.

@SirPsycho:

A list of compatible titles can be found here:

http://segaretro.org/Team_Player

Dungeon Explorer is a lot of fun.

http://www.rfgeneration.com/cgi-bin/getinfo.pl?ID=U-048-S-00350-A

Oh yeah, would love to see what you got

Wow what's going on with shenmue?? 1 and 2 are going up.

"The image you are requesting does not exist or is no longer available."

i noticed that too after looking it up when bil mentioned it being hot. it's too sudden an increase, i can't imagine it holding that value...but i kind of hope i'm wrong only because i already own it ;)

Maybe because of the announcement of Shenmue 3?

Looks like I got lucky with this find, since this should be compatible with my X'eye, while EA's 4 Way Play is not.

Yeah, I have both. There are some incompatibilities between games too, if I remember correctly.

Mos Def.  I don't think it will hold either.

I agree, I see the price dropping back down as well

I'm getting there!

Retro City Rampage 12" Blue Vinyl Soundtrack

[img width=700 height=605]http://s25.postimg.cc/d511w4ffj/Retro_City_Rampage_Viny2.jpg[/img]

I finally managed to track down a nice vinyl copy of this :)
It was only released in 500 copies (100 green, 100 blue, 300 black) and comes with the digital download.

^^ Very nice!  I've got the Streets of Rage vinyl coming my way, but I'm a little jealous of this one ;)

Boss, you should talk to Ryudo. A friend of his worked on the game - maybe see if you can't get it autographed or something.

I was surprised when I first heard about this vinyl so I ended up preordering both limited editions of SOF and Shenmue :P
With all the talk about Shenmue 3 being in development, Datadics will probably also release the Shenmue 2 soundtrack on Vinyl.

Interesting idea but I prefer to keep this version stock but if I run into another one, I might try this :)

The strangest thing happened. I set GamerNick some recyclables, and he sent me all these games!

[img width=700 height=420]http://i.imgur.com/qYNaGdS.jpg[/img]

The full list:

Tempo (32X)
Dragon's Lair (NES)
DigDug II (NES)
PirAtes with manual (NES)
The Adventures of Gilligan's Island (NES)
The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles (NES)

Thanks, Nick!

NOOOO!!!!  Nick!!! what are you doing?  I needed some of them NES games! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Sorry :( and your welcome Ika :) and thank you again as well :-) 

Shaggy I still have your Bucky Manual and some other stuff.

Glad to hear everything made it intact, Nick.

Shaggy, sorry my trade-fu was too strong.

I'm coveting that Young Indiana Jones Chronicles.

That cracks me up, trade-fu!

Yeah, I kinda lucked out.  All these games are very welcome additions to my collection.  However, I doubt I'll ever have trade bait as good as what I offered to Nick again, so I had to make this trade a good one.

Had a good day at the Tradepost and Arena for games!

I got to see a copy of this, which is cool, but certainly not something I'm going to randomly buy in a store (at least until I take in the box of spring cleaning I'm saving up!)

[img width=700 height=933]http://i.imgur.com/aWjvGXq.jpg[/img]

Below here is what I actually bought today, and can you tell that I'm getting into an arcade kick after my trip to Oregon?

[img width=700 height=525]http://i.imgur.com/em3sLuD.jpg[/img]

These last four were from the Arena for $15 total.

[img width=700 height=933]http://i.imgur.com/HHOUN3x.jpg[/img]

I picked up Jurassic Park and Racing Aces for Sega CD. I also got Dying Light for PS4 for $25. If you like zombie games I highly recommend it.

I try to not post tons of pictures at once, but I always seem to fail at that.  I'm about to fail again.

Here's the pile of garbage I bought from Amazon recently:

[img width=640 height=567]http://i58.tinypic.com/14v48z9.jpg[/img]
[img width=639 height=398]http://i57.tinypic.com/2e5sbd1.jpg[/img]

Everything was $1-3 as usual.  The Japanese FFIX and Dynasty Warriors for PSP were pretty cool.  Everything else was kind of meh.  I just grabbed them because they were cheap.

Garage sales have kind of sucked this year:

[img width=483 height=640]http://i59.tinypic.com/w1dw84.jpg[/img]

These were all $2 a piece.  The Star Trek game is really the only thing that seemed like a deal to me.

So then I said screw it and went to Disc Replay.  Much better stuff there.

[img width=639 height=333]http://i59.tinypic.com/t89tet.jpg[/img]

Well, technically better.  Any NES games get me excited, but outside of Dragon Spirit these are kind of boring games.  I do love the shit out of Dragon Spirit though.

So then I decided to go back to a few Kmarts to pick up the last few games they had left.

[img width=640 height=539]http://i57.tinypic.com/os6fq0.jpg[/img]
[img width=639 height=637]http://i57.tinypic.com/244xn3a.jpg[/img]

A lot of these were for my daughter like the Hello Kitty DS case and a bunch of the DS games.  Skylanders was only 6ish bucks.

So, onto Gamestop.  They sell games right?

[img width=639 height=503]http://i59.tinypic.com/111mqlj.jpg[/img]

Holy shit!  Quality games!  I decided I was going to start trying to get more RPGs and this is the latest bunch I grabbed.  The PC games were super cheap, so I grabbed those too.

Overall, a bunch of very, very meh games.  A couple decent ones, but nothing too exciting.  Do you think thrifts helped saved the day?  It depends!  I don't know what you like!

[img width=639 height=425]http://i62.tinypic.com/2mevlhu.jpg[/img]
[img width=640 height=488]http://i57.tinypic.com/95whe1.jpg[/img]
[img width=639 height=355]http://i57.tinypic.com/2ho8uj6.jpg[/img]

All of the games in the second two pictures were $1-2 a piece and the controllers were $1.50 a piece.  The various books in the pictures were 20 cents a piece.  The PC games in the first picture were all $1 piece and the Xbox games were $3 a piece, with the big surprise being Sniper Elite III for $6.  My favorite thing just for pure weirdness is the Email for Gameboy thing in the first picture.  I didn't even know that was a thing.

And in case all that isn't geeky enough for you, I also grabbed all of these for $20 total.

[img width=640 height=507]http://i62.tinypic.com/acc0fb.jpg[/img]

100 comic books ranging from the early 80's to the mid 2000's.  I don't grab them that often, but I couldn't pass these up.

And I think that's all for this week.  I went nuts again this week, so expect another post in a few days that looks  a lot like this one.

New Member here! Just wanted to share my last few scores - got this lot of PS2/PS1/Atari games off Craigslist for $40 [img width=700 height=933]http://i.imgur.com/cwjeGU4.jpg[/img] 
Picked up all these Big Box PC games at a rummage sale for .25 cents each - $7 total.
[img width=700 height=933]http://i.imgur.com/LgKwPZi.jpg[/img]
Picked up Medievil, Croc, and Spyro (not shown) - all in perfect minty fresh condition for $9 total at a thrift store.
[img width=700 height=933]http://i.imgur.com/nPVrMEJ.jpg[/img]

That's a truckload of PS2 titles! My local store was running a $1 PS2 sale for select games last weekend, but I didn't make it out. Now's a great time to get into that system before the nostalgia kicks in.

nothing PS2 exists up here for less than $5 canadian :( that $40 lot probably would have cost at $500 - $1000 in any of the stores around here.

You know that Indiana Jones is something I need... ;)

all_kaps - Welcome and awesome scores!! If you ever decide to sell any big box PC Games I know someone who likes that type of stuff ;-) But anyways that PS1/PS2/Atari Lot was amazing as well. 

Shaggy - I still some stuff for you and I might be getting some more NES games down the road so keep an eye out.

@SirPsycho - R-Type Final, good stuff!


WOW, that's a haul!  I thought I was doing well snagging PS2 and Xbox games at $2 a piece at a local pawn shop, but that's an amazing batch of games!  Some great titles in the PS2 batch, plus Syphon Filter 2 on PS1, a great game.  Welcome to the site!

We both need it.

Well, I finished building my junk box and took it in to trade. I've been complaining about a lack of space, so I just freed up a lot of it, while also getting these for free in the end!

[img width=700 height=525]http://i.imgur.com/ZyATf6F.jpg[/img]

SUPER jelly of that big box PC score, all_kaps, lot of really good games in there.  congrats!

Great choice with Gun*Nac. Go murder those robobunnies!

*Looks at PS2 collection and sweats nervously*

...Jesus Christ.  Congrats!

Awesome scores and great prices!  We played Medievil a few months ago for the Retro Playthrough. Our podcast about it is a http://rfgenplaythroughs.podomatic.com/entry/2015-04-04T12_00_39-07_00 if you are interested. Welcome to the site!

Awesome find all_kaps!  Medievil is a great game!

I still have your stuff.  let me know when you get the NES games!

I will.

The only way I was ever going to own a Microsoft console:


[img width=700 height=525]http://i1375.photobucket.com/albums/ag478/michaelrancourt/513E6A73-4366-449B-95E4-CA9EE12BA036_zpspuxlbbeo.jpg[/img] (http://s1375.photobucket.com/user/michaelrancourt/media/513E6A73-4366-449B-95E4-CA9EE12BA036_zpspuxlbbeo.jpg.html)

Awesome!!  I want it just for the box!

I went to a security conference yesterday in the "big city", so naturally, I visited as many game shops as I could, looking for good stuff.  Here are my general retro game finds:
[img width=700 height=525]http://i349.photobucket.com/albums/q388/MetalFRO/Mobile%20Uploads/2015-07/3E976B8B-01C4-4719-8CB3-4BA77DF4B9F6.jpg[/img] (http://s349.photobucket.com/user/MetalFRO/media/Mobile%20Uploads/2015-07/3E976B8B-01C4-4719-8CB3-4BA77DF4B9F6.jpg.html)

I paid more than I wanted to for Earthworm Jim, but it's CIB, AND has a poster/ad included with it, so I figured it might be worth the money.  I was unaware that the Genesis received a conversion of Super Street Fighter II, which is odd, but that's my favorite in the series, so I'll be glad to play it on my Genesis with the fighter stick I have :)

Here are my Game Boy finds, including a couple games I've never heard of:
[img width=640 height=852]http://i349.photobucket.com/albums/q388/MetalFRO/Mobile%20Uploads/2015-07/9275AB7A-D35D-4DD0-8EB4-9C58C72E6AC6.jpg[/img] (http://s349.photobucket.com/user/MetalFRO/media/Mobile%20Uploads/2015-07/9275AB7A-D35D-4DD0-8EB4-9C58C72E6AC6.jpg.html)

And finally, my loose manual finds, which I got for an absolute STEAL of a deal:
[img width=640 height=852]http://i349.photobucket.com/albums/q388/MetalFRO/Mobile%20Uploads/2015-07/7BBC3845-DF33-40AD-A72F-58E759C155CA.jpg[/img] (http://s349.photobucket.com/user/MetalFRO/media/Mobile%20Uploads/2015-07/7BBC3845-DF33-40AD-A72F-58E759C155CA.jpg.html)

Did you steal them?

Manuals are always cool.

Hey all my brother and I went out on a day we actually had off together (last Friday) and he picked up a few things and I grabbed a couple cheap items myself (nothing over a couple of bucks).  We have been thrifting more than hitting up the chain stores around here as we have decided to cut back a little to get ahead on stuff, and I have been working on inventoring a lot more in detail, including finding more doubles and stuff to list. 

So here it is -
Goodwill -
*Game Boy Color/Game Boy Pocket V3.1 GameShark - Says $2.99 got it for $0.99
*Walk It Out - $0.99
*Bayonetta - $0.99
*Dark Age of Camelot - Platinum Edition - I think my brother has every version of Dark Age of Camelot now :-P - $1.99
*World in Conflict: Soviet Assault - Sealed - $0.99

and - 2 - PS3 Sixaxis Controllers for $0.99 a piece

Salvation Army -
*Porky's The Ultimate Collection - $1.00 (I bought this)

[img width=700 height=526]http://i.imgur.com/JKhtAov.jpg[/img]

Got some deals in the works with some our very awesome members  :-) Once I get the items I'll most definitely post it! 

I know what you are thinking, "I thought Bil was selling down a bit cause of the new house, second baby, etc."  I am, lemme Splain.

I AM trimming the collection down but this machine came up locally and it was too good to pass up.  Its a Mortal Kombat 1 conversion to a Tekken Tag Tournament.  Its in amazing shape and it was a great price.  It's my first JAMMA cab so I can swap things into it if I happen across any other boards.  Just need t add a couple buttons for SF/MK play.

[img width=700 height=933]http://i.imgur.com/Bj9DNrX.jpg[/img]

PLEASE have MK II in that thing by October!

It's a sick addiction.

Bil: "It's was a great deal honey, I couldn't pass it up!"

Bil's wife: "It's never a great deal, it's all useless s***."

Btw congrats on the 2nd bambino Bily.

Picked up a few things over the weekend.  Here are my Goodwill finds:
[img width=700 height=525]http://i349.photobucket.com/albums/q388/MetalFRO/Mobile%20Uploads/2015-07/C378622D-6FC2-422A-ABBB-976CBAB7A075.jpg[/img] (http://s349.photobucket.com/user/MetalFRO/media/Mobile%20Uploads/2015-07/C378622D-6FC2-422A-ABBB-976CBAB7A075.jpg.html)

The TMNT Tournament Fighters is in super rough shape, but the game shop near me has a loose cart in really good shape for $50, so $5 seemed like a good price to at least have a working copy.  And yes, that IS the Mega Man Zero collection for DS that I found at Goodwill!

Here are my pawn shop finds - particularly happy about the Breath of Fire game, as well as the Game Boy "Race Days" game, which is a 2-in-1 racing game collection of some sort.  I've never heard of it, so it will be interesting to see what it's all about.
[img width=700 height=525]http://i349.photobucket.com/albums/q388/MetalFRO/Mobile%20Uploads/2015-07/F6A74E15-8EE0-493D-AA4E-6224A53237E9.jpg[/img] (http://s349.photobucket.com/user/MetalFRO/media/Mobile%20Uploads/2015-07/F6A74E15-8EE0-493D-AA4E-6224A53237E9.jpg.html)

Shadow: "But it's not in good condition..."
Shadow's Wife: "We'll fix it up. Put it in the garage."

:D

If it were up to my wife, we'd have a lot more arcade machines. Still, a fighting game cab is awesome to have around if you have someone to play with.

KEEPER!  I'm quite thrilled to have th is machine in time for the RetroWorld Expo company that I'm expecting in October.  I know it's a haul for you, Shadow, but we'd love to see you.  I don't know if I could keep Izret away if I found a decent price on an MKII board.  Come to think of it, he probably owns an MKII board..

At this point he's probably part MKII board

Not much time to hunt last week, but I did grab this at a yardsale for $5! I know...it's the PAL version. Still....for $5? I'll take it!
[img width=700 height=933]http://i.imgur.com/FncauRd.jpg[/img]

Strange to find a PAL version, but cool nonetheless.

It's in mint condition, so I'm guessing maybe someone bought it online, it didn't work, and it sat on a shelf until the decided to sell it in the rummage sale.

Great game.  Played quite a bit before I sold my copy.  Hope to play some more in the future.

My scores from last week and so far this week.

VHS N64 promo cassettes will be FS/FT on my thread soon. If you have any interest, send me a PM. The top left cassette is sealed.

[img width=700 height=522]http://i1029.photobucket.com/albums/y359/necrom99/Video%20Game%20Scores/801E69BC-916A-4705-8C30-D827566F3834_zpsvngjoaum.jpg[/img]

So, this morning, my realtor from 4 years ago gave me a call. He said, "Are you going to be in your office in the next 15 minutes? I have something I want to bring you." I said "Sure," and he came by and dropped this off........Colecovision system with all hookups, wheel, 14 loose games, and 2 CIB 2600 titles. Always let people know you are a game collector, it pays off. :)  Since I already have a Colecovision and all of these games, I am going to upgrade my carts and sell/trade everything. Still on the fence about the iMagic CIB 2600 games, they are super nice. This will also be on my FS/FT thread in the next few days after I get everything cleaned and tested, but PMs are welcome.

[img width=700 height=522]http://i1029.photobucket.com/albums/y359/necrom99/Video%20Game%20Scores/FFD6C2C6-8CFD-4E8A-B248-35E140A82CAA_zpsioyridu9.jpg[/img]

ColecoVision! Woo!
...here's my ColecoVision find, from my co-worker that moved to Sweden. He decided to give it to me since there weren't too many people interested in buying it:

[img width=700 height=393]https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-E3uMcjYXo2U/VaUm3q3J2JI/AAAAAAAACns/gykW5XVF1RM/w1502-h845-no/WP_20150714_11_09_41_Pro.jpg[/img]

Such a great system, but it was overshadowed by the 2600. You know how much I love the 2600, but I'll admit that the Colecovision was a superior system.

If you have any loose doubles to sell, send me a list. You have a few I don't have Shadow.  ;D

I have quite a few from the haul, as you can see... My Sale list on my profile is updated with the haul, but not the ones I actually own, and I haven't gone through the box yet.

Rich, what's the story with that Castlevania X London Calling...thing? What is it?

It's a vinyl of Castlevania tunes from Moonshake Records.  It's awesome!

Two £2 PS2 games today... That's a lot of twos... :P
[img width=512 height=288]http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll222/mumboking/Photos/Games/DSC_0588.jpg[/img]

To be specific, that's a UK PAL version. :)

Holy moley that's a lot...

I have no idea why they didn't call that record "Clashlevania".

Colecovision was tested and working, but needs new power adapter. Games and system on my FS/FT list right now. PM with interest.

Darn, was going to ask about the power supply since I need one for mine.

Here are my pickups this week. Found a couple japanese PS1 games, not sure I want them, so willing to trade for them. Got another Laserdisc player which will replace the other one I have, since this one is better.  Got a Talkboy, missing the battery cover but it works at least, will probably make it available for trade.  Kinda cool to find a TI-99 game at the thrifts, since I never see them really anywhere except online. Sadly my TI-99 does not work. Picked up some more guides, and Magic the Gathering Battlegrounds and Art of Fighting for SNES for cheap.

My favorite pickup this week so far, is the Wico Command Control Joystick for Atari 2600, these things are great joysticks, and glad to now have one.

That power supply could still be yours if you ask nicely.  ;D

ANYway, here's a meager harvest of thrift scores I've scraped together over the past several weeks:

[img width=601 height=603]http://i1273.photobucket.com/albums/y409/Zagnorch/score%207-15-2015_zpsvry064mt.jpg?t=1436922493[/img]


- Sealed Nintendo Game Boy Player for GameCube, $5.99

- CIB Take Your Best Shot PC game, $2.49

- Four old vidya mags, $0.49 each

- Wordtris and Spot Game Boy carts, $4.99 for both

- CIB Folklore for PS3, $3.79


All righty, back to you...

$5.99 for a sealed Game Boy player??! Nice!

Talkboy!!!

I am so jealous of that Gameboy player.

Laserdisc must not have been a thing in my area.  I keep my eyes open for them at flea markets and Goodwills, but every likely suspect is actually just a 5-disc CD changer.

I recently picked up a Wico Command Control Joystick (ball type) at a flea market after hearing the hype on these things for a while.  Once I had that ball in my hand, I finally understood what everyone was talking about.

All of the Moonshake pressings, have had some kind of theme/spoof, to the album covers. The Mega Man album was an homage to Heroes by David Bowie, Zelda was Dark Side of the Moon, Castlevania is obviously London Calling, and the NES greatest Hits is done Andy Warhol style, with four toasters on one side of the jacket, and four power gloves on the other.

Silver80 cut me a good deal on this lot:

Congrats on grabbing King's Field man, I know you've been looking for that one forever.

Ooh, I must have been slow in that Legend of Oasis. Nice grab man!

Nice grabs on Oasis and King's Field, both great games.

@all_kaps - AMAZING FIND on that Xenoblade game!

@singlebanana - so jelly of that vinyl...I'd be curious to know if it sounds good.

It sounds a LOT better, once you move the switch from 33, to 45 speed. ;D

Uh yeah, that happened to me too.

BTW, did yours come with a second "error" vinyl as well?  Mine did and unsure what that is about.

Hey now once again...


- Mega Man Battle Network 3 Blue GBA cart, $3.99

- Mega Bloks Skylanders Giants Cynder pack, $0.99: This will likely be the only version of the sparkly-purple 2012 Toy Fair Cynder I'll ever be able to afford.

- Radio Shack Helicopter Attack and Sonic Sea Battle Handhelds, $4.99 for both: Thanks to its impending demise, I'll latch on to just about anything with the Radio Shack brand on it. However, I have another reason for getting Sonic Sea Battle:



Do you see it yet? No? Okay, let me zoom in a little more:



Okay, NOW you see it, right? RIGHT?!

Oh, for-- REALLY?! Sigh...


Weird thing is, I don't think A-10s are particularly helpful in naval operations.


Speaking of notable national retailers facing extinction, I picked this up for $1.79:

All right, back to you...

I did not get that. I bought two, so I got one clear, and one white. I had heard he had messed up a bunch, and printed them with two side B's or something. He probably threw one in with your other record to try and get rid of some.

Was pleased to grab this one today:

[img width=700 height=525]http://i1375.photobucket.com/albums/ag478/michaelrancourt/A807AB2E-A9D7-496A-9E50-1C337A708D6C_zpsq6arqrqq.jpg[/img] (http://s1375.photobucket.com/user/michaelrancourt/media/A807AB2E-A9D7-496A-9E50-1C337A708D6C_zpsq6arqrqq.jpg.html)

Nice grab! Still looking for a copy myself.

My "scores" for the weekend. I can come back and post pics, not really that exciting.

Over the weekend I scored an Atari 800. Not an XL, just a regular 800 (the XLs seemed more common in my searches). I haven't actually powered it on yet. It's been in a garage for literally 22 years (exposed to heat/cold). I figure I would probably give it a once over before attempting to test the 30+ year old solder joints. Right? Also, I don't have a power adapter for it yet. Might try a universal power (unless somebody expresses doubts on that).
I got it with 10 cartridges. One of them is AtariWriter and one is BASIC programming, the rest I believe are games. And some 5 1/4" floppies, most of which are games.

I also have several manuals for the thing. Haven't combed through those yet.

Also a tape deck - Atari 1010 - but no cable to connect to the computer or power adapter that either.

I did actually get several data storage cassettes (16K on a cassette? amazing!).  In fact one of them, Early Games for Young Children, according to Atari Mania, is a 8/10 rarity (http://www.atarimania.com/game-atari-400-800-xl-xe-early-games-for-young-children_1782.html) (I only have the cassette). Some of the other cassettes and floppies are also 5s and 6s but no 8s. I mean based on the assumption that particular guide is accurate. And the cassettes/floppies actually work. Which I don't actually have anyway to test.

subassy, try contacting A8Scooter for any questions. He's our resident Atari 8-bit expert.

@EngineerMike: Oooh! Nice Demon's Crest!

There's been a pretty sick streak of scores lately. If only somebody highlighted those anymore.

Okay, thanks!

Here's a little something I picked up yesterday from a local retro game shoppe:

[img width=700 height=394]http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a136/DarkTheThief/Silent%20Scope%20Bundle_zpscnsn1mtk.png[/img]

Very cool!  I was a big fan of this series in the arcade.

I like that game too.  Never understood why they names it after Quiet Mouthwash though...

@EngineerMike: Demons Crest is a great game. Nice pickup!

@ReddMcKnight: I've always wanted to try the Xbox version. Nice!

Grabbed these from BB with amazon price match. Had to wait til i got them in hand. Wish PS4 was in better shape....
[img width=700 height=395]https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CKeadmGUAAEIKxr.jpg:large[/img]

@EngineerMike: nice find on that Demon's Crest cart!  That's the only one I need to complete the Gargoyle's Quest trilogy :)

@subassy - first, welcome!  Second, awesome find!  If I had more space in my house, I would love to get more into 80's micro computers, especially the Atari line like that.  Very cool.

I forgot to post my finds from this last weekend, so here are my scant few garage sale finds, though they're good:
[img width=700 height=525]http://i349.photobucket.com/albums/q388/MetalFRO/Mobile%20Uploads/2015-07/C5ECF955-6DA8-4BC3-A279-6E1DBFFB67DF.jpg[/img] (http://s349.photobucket.com/user/MetalFRO/media/Mobile%20Uploads/2015-07/C5ECF955-6DA8-4BC3-A279-6E1DBFFB67DF.jpg.html)

Here are a few nice pawn shop finds - particularly happy about the Haven find, as well as finally getting Arkham Asylum for next to nothing:
[img width=700 height=525]http://i349.photobucket.com/albums/q388/MetalFRO/Mobile%20Uploads/2015-07/0BE33A33-8B65-428F-B008-F9E31D40D737.jpg[/img] (http://s349.photobucket.com/user/MetalFRO/media/Mobile%20Uploads/2015-07/0BE33A33-8B65-428F-B008-F9E31D40D737.jpg.html)

And here are my Goodwill finds - I now have both iterations of Road Rash 3-D for PlayStation :D
[img width=700 height=525]http://i349.photobucket.com/albums/q388/MetalFRO/Mobile%20Uploads/2015-07/A61280FA-0268-4A9E-88C6-3C40DE946FB5.jpg[/img] (http://s349.photobucket.com/user/MetalFRO/media/Mobile%20Uploads/2015-07/A61280FA-0268-4A9E-88C6-3C40DE946FB5.jpg.html)

[img width=700 height=393]http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h32/grayghost81/IMG_20150722_185435_465_zpsnyuxqnq6.jpg[/img] (http://s60.photobucket.com/user/grayghost81/media/IMG_20150722_185435_465_zpsnyuxqnq6.jpg.html)

Dark Alliance II is kind of a big one for me. Been looking for it forever, and it seems to get rarer and rarer. Somehow the price has crept lower and lower over the years, and someone posted a copy on 99gamers for a reasonable price two weeks ago. Then he messed up the trade and I figured I wasn't going to get the game, but he messaged me a few days later and offered me the game again at an even lower price. Deception IV is also from 99gamers.

Also, this came in the mail from Mister Heynow. I actually got the base and the other figures from Santa 'Norch's not so secret Santa last year and my wife picked up the game for me. So now the thing is complete. I promise I'll play it someday, but I have a serious amount of Skylandering to catch up on. Thanks again Zag.

[img width=700 height=393]http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h32/grayghost81/IMG_20150722_185520_633_zpshxknaft4.jpg[/img] (http://s60.photobucket.com/user/grayghost81/media/IMG_20150722_185520_633_zpshxknaft4.jpg.html)

I've had a few minor things here and there recently that I haven't posted, but these I just had to share.

First off, a buddy helped me get a good deal on the Dark Souls II CE, which I've been eying for some time.
[img width=700 height=933]http://i1023.photobucket.com/albums/af356/jackcrow2000/A76443C8-1277-4D65-85B3-B9BF523CDB47_zps2qsa5xco.jpg[/img] (http://s1023.photobucket.com/user/jackcrow2000/media/A76443C8-1277-4D65-85B3-B9BF523CDB47_zps2qsa5xco.jpg.html)

Today I dropped by my local GameXchange. I'm in there pretty often, and the guys there are always really great and look out for me. They know I've been working on completing my licensed NES titles, and they had this one tucked away for me. It has some label damage, but for the price they charged me I'm more than happy to have it. Only one more left!
[img width=700 height=933]http://i1023.photobucket.com/albums/af356/jackcrow2000/2347137C-E949-45D9-82F4-C3C04F4FF0CE_zpsqrlwxubl.jpg[/img] (http://s1023.photobucket.com/user/jackcrow2000/media/2347137C-E949-45D9-82F4-C3C04F4FF0CE_zpsqrlwxubl.jpg.html)

Decided to pop into a thrift on a whim. 

[img width=700 height=393]http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c394/bombatomba77/20150722_210100_zps2jqkyyve.jpg[/img]

Got a 50% off coupon, so I got the lot for $5.  There was a Jack Nicklaus Sierra Big Box game hidden in board games, but it only had junk in it.  The Aces game more than made up for it.  I have to admit, I've forgotten how much fun thrifting can be.  I might do this more often.

@Duke: Congrats on Zombie Nation!

Congrats Duke!  Let's get that one more.

Hey n-- errrr...


Oh good, it arrived. Hope that job hunt is going well.

ANYway, I picked up another Epoch game, this time a chess-like "digital" board game, for just $2.49:

[img width=615 height=550]http://i1273.photobucket.com/albums/y409/Zagnorch/score%207-23-2015a_zpsfignz8ht.jpg?t=1437593635[/img]


Pretty neat, huh!

But wait... what's this underneath the game board?

- CIB Touch Detective 2.5, Drone Tactics, Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings, and Hero's Saga: Laevatein for DS, $20 for the lot


All right, what else?


[img width=550 height=634]http://i1273.photobucket.com/albums/y409/Zagnorch/score%207-23-2015f_zpsdy6vt6lt.jpg?t=1437593637[/img]

Aaaaand finally:

CIB Xenosaga, $1.99


All right, back to you.

Nice grabs 'Norch. For being such a FF XII fan, I have never tried Revenant Wings.

Well, I did pick it up with the intent to resell... hint, hint.

You did see my post above, right? I'm broke.

I don't let that stop me.  ;D

@bombatomba: Great scores! I love the Aces of games and have played them for over 100 hours.

@Zag: Every time I see your pick ups I start hitting the local Savers. I really like the Double Dribble lcd!

@Duke: Congrats! That's not an easy one to find. Since you like Dark Souls a lot have you tried The Maze of Galious or La Mulana?

-the new mega man LP with hand-picked tracks from capcom sound team

[img width=600 height=450]http://oi61.tinypic.com/280m69f.jpg[/img]

That looks so awesome!!!

[img width=700 height=525]http://i295.photobucket.com/albums/mm155/DisposedHero/Game%20Scores/CAM01500.jpg[/img] (http://s295.photobucket.com/user/DisposedHero/media/Game%20Scores/CAM01500.jpg.html)

Since I had a bunch of games I couldn't seem to move anywhere else, I traded them in to OTC Videogames, and used the trade credit to cover about half the cost of this lot.

@Duke, Nice Dark Souls II pickup, I wanted that when it was released but just didn't have the income to support getting it at that time. Definitely cool.

@DisposedHero, Nice selection of games you picked up. Big Boost to your collection!

Here are my pickups this week. Not a lot of games to be had around here for a couple weeks just this kind of stuff.

@Disposed Hero: I loved that Astro Boy game on the PS2. Same problems as a lot of Sonic Team's games but it's better than a Sonic game in my opinion.

@Disposed Hero: I love me some Forgotten Worlds. Nice grab.

@Fokakis79:  Thanks!  There are quite a few games there I'm surprised I didn't own beforehand (Wizards & Warriors!?)

@GrayGhost:  I just checked out some gameplay of Astro Boy, and I was expecting a sidescroller.  I think I had this version confused with the GBA version.  Oh well, the PS2 version still looks cool.

@Duke.Togo:  This copy was an upgrade for my cart only copy.  ;D

@Duke.Togo - fantastic find on Zombie Nation! I think I'm one of the few people who played the game as a rental back during that time. I would never have guessed then that it would become such a collectors item!

@DisposedHero - great haul!

My extremely random Goodwill finds from this evening:
[img width=700 height=700]http://i349.photobucket.com/albums/q388/MetalFRO/Mobile%20Uploads/2015-07/FD77F066-465B-4BC9-8F55-10DA2FC4BE91.jpg[/img] (http://s349.photobucket.com/user/MetalFRO/media/Mobile%20Uploads/2015-07/FD77F066-465B-4BC9-8F55-10DA2FC4BE91.jpg.html)

I'm back from Great Yarmouth!

First, some things from just before I went away:
Firestorm: Thunderhawk 2 (PS1, £2) and a Satin Silver PS2 vertical stand (£1.50)
[img width=512 height=288]http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll222/mumboking/Photos/Games/DSC_0636.jpg[/img]

Now, the stuff I got while on holiday:
Not much...
KOF Maximum Impact (I've decided to leave the EB Games sticker on this) (PS2, NTSC/U, £1.99)
[img width=512 height=682]http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll222/mumboking/Photos/Games/DSC_0604.jpg[/img]
WipEout Fusion demo disc (SCED-50768, Likely full game) (PS2, 50p), PS1 DualShock controller (£1.99), PS2 DualShock 2 controller (£1), PS1 1000 series RF adaptor (50p) and a third party PS1/2 SCART cable with composite breakout (50p).
[img width=512 height=288]http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll222/mumboking/Photos/Games/DSC_0610.jpg[/img]

[img width=512 height=682]http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll222/mumboking/Photos/Games/DSC_0622.jpg[/img]

This is the only time I've ever wished there were a Hot Topic here

Yeah, the Sonic Team game, which you have, is an awesome 3-D action adventure. The movie tie-in game from 2009 is in fact a sidescroller, but it is mediocre at best.

Ah, I wasn't aware of the game from 2009.  I was thinking of this game on the GBA, which is supposedly pretty good:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5URIoG_m8Nw

indeed, have driven to about 6 diff malls just to get these - sold out in the first week

Developed by Treasure so it must be good.

Hey now,

Picked up Enchanted Arms, Tetris Attack, and Tecmo Bowl for $8.00 all told.

Aaaand behind those...

...CIB Japanese Gamera & King Ghidorah Dreamcast VMU thingies. Appears to be some sorta virtual pet/fighting type deal a la Tamagotchi and *shudder* Pokemon.

Those VMUs rock, Zag.

Technical difficulties stopped me from posting pics of my latest score.  Then I remembered I could borrow the pictures from the seller.

Here's the very nice Sonic CD I recently received from Silver80.

Recently picked up an $8 Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time for the PS3. It was more of an afterthought but it's Factory Sealed so i went ahead and got it.

holy cow those VMU thingys are amazing wow

Bought two games, found a (not very interesting) bonus.

SpyToy (PS2, 25p), TimeSplitters Future Perfect (PS2, 75p) and WWE Smackdown! vs Raw (PS2, Disc only, Found inside TimeSplitters' case, FREE)
[img width=512 height=512]http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/ll222/mumboking/Photos/Games/DSC_0645.jpg[/img]

Got this from Silver80!

@shaggy: Great pick up! I played it for the first time a couple years ago and it was a better game than I thought it would be.

Got my new shipment of Odyssey 2 Homebrews today!

Picked these up from my trip.  One of the GG games was free!

[img width=700 height=525]http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa293/cvanderhoef/IMG_20150730_0627177_rewind.jpg[/img] (http://s201.photobucket.com/user/cvanderhoef/media/IMG_20150730_0627177_rewind.jpg.html)

Glad to see that you leave Indy with a little something extra Shaggy!

That is awesome!!!!

I got a few goodies in recently. First up, a trade with Disposed Hero nabbed me the PS3 Dark Souls CE:
[img width=700 height=933]http://i1023.photobucket.com/albums/af356/jackcrow2000/4B78B891-A901-4E30-9403-335E47F028EF_zps0uexaibd.jpg[/img]

These were from a lowball over on NA:

And a Palutena Amiibo from Amazon. I'll spare you Amiibo haters a pic of that one. ;)

I am hoping to scan these and few other homebrews onto the site within the next week.... after I play them!

That is awesome!

That is even more awesome!

NO, SCOTTY! DON'T DO IT!



Chain-quote posts are the awesomest!

@Izret: Welcome to the club!

@GamerNick: My heart warms a little bit every time I see Tempest 2000.

Getting all of those makes me kind of want to go for a set lol I don't know how much I am missing.  I need to find the soundtrack for Tempest.  Might get the Jag CD Games but I dont have a Jag CD so who knows.

Got this from 99gamers yesterday.

^Very nice! Still need to get that one myself...How much?

Picked up at my local Christian Thrift Store this weekend.  Almost have one of workers who handles the drop off convinced to call me when they get new stuff in. The NES that got donated with it looked in good shape but I wanted to give someone else in my area a chance at one.. no need to be greedy.

Solid $11 investment IMHO.

great Find, I love my NES Satellite. I use it a lot. I feel it is not too bad about battery usage, either. I too do the same thing when I find stuff, I already have, and don't really need to pick up. I see Sega Genesis Systems all the time, and I don't feel the need to pick up anymore. I figure if I already have one that I play on and a backup. I don't pick it up. I feel like I am giving someone a chance to play the games they loved as a kid.

Correct

Why did you buy a second controller?

Thinks he has friends.....what a fool ;)

Cuz he :stupid:?

Riddle of the Sphinx!!! My old next-door neighbor and I used to play that game all the time.  Loved that game as a kid, and need to track down a copy at some point!

Here are my finds from yesterday and today!

Here's what I snagged at a game store in the area:
[img width=700 height=700]http://i349.photobucket.com/albums/q388/MetalFRO/Mobile%20Uploads/2015-08/E8051CE3-FA7A-4D84-84E3-91DDD2D7219C.jpg[/img] (http://s349.photobucket.com/user/MetalFRO/media/Mobile%20Uploads/2015-08/E8051CE3-FA7A-4D84-84E3-91DDD2D7219C.jpg.html)

Here are a few decent/random Goodwill finds:

And here's my big pawn shop score for today, between 2 different stores!
[img width=700 height=525]http://i349.photobucket.com/albums/q388/MetalFRO/Mobile%20Uploads/2015-08/4DA3C45F-8C33-4265-B772-D9A02519C70E.jpg[/img] (http://s349.photobucket.com/user/MetalFRO/media/Mobile%20Uploads/2015-08/4DA3C45F-8C33-4265-B772-D9A02519C70E.jpg.html)

Was particularly stoked about the TimeSplitters find, since I saw it at the game store (where I got the manuals, etc. above) for $15, and I paid WAY less than that ;D

Riddle of the Sphinx!!! My old next-door neighbor and I used to play that game all the time.  Loved that game as a kid, and need to track down a copy at some point!

Here are my finds from yesterday and today!


That's a nice lot for the original Xbox you got there.

Riddle of the sphinx - I believe bickman2K has one on his list of items for sale for around $2 (FYI)

I finally used the NES satellite tonight and had mixed emotions.

Happy to own one and sit on the couch instead of the ground... sad that it took until I was 30 to finally own one..

Deja Vu!  Awesome!

:D

So last weekend I was helping a friend move, because I am the "friend with a truck".  He said he would give me some old video game stuff he had for helping him out since he no longer needed it.  It turned out to be 2 filing cabinets worth of stuff!
[img width=700 height=393]http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g162/gooberjones/RF%20Generation/20150801_132513_zpshndnksm3.jpg[/img] (http://s56.photobucket.com/user/gooberjones/media/RF%20Generation/20150801_132513_zpshndnksm3.jpg.html)

A bunch of Playstation and Dreamcast games, only one of which I already owned.  (Marvel vs Capcom 2)

[img width=700 height=393]http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g162/gooberjones/RF%20Generation/20150801_114656_zpsbne1evzm.jpg[/img] (http://s56.photobucket.com/user/gooberjones/media/RF%20Generation/20150801_114656_zpsbne1evzm.jpg.html)

Boxed N64 games, some longbox Playstation games, a GBA with a bunch of accessories, sealed gamecube memory card, all sorts of stuff.  Not pictured is the Dreamcast, N64, controllers or the GunCons that also came with it.  Oh and one more N64 game that I have been looking for this box ever since mine was accidentally thrown away when I moved to Florida.

[img width=700 height=393]http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g162/gooberjones/RF%20Generation/20150805_110225_zpsxnbskt7n.jpg[/img] (http://s56.photobucket.com/user/gooberjones/media/RF%20Generation/20150805_110225_zpsxnbskt7n.jpg.html)

I also found this at a tabletop game store in St. Augustine.  It looks fun and I can't wait to play it.

[img width=700 height=1244]http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g162/gooberjones/RF%20Generation/20150802_201231_zpsn7btvlcg.jpg[/img] (http://s56.photobucket.com/user/gooberjones/media/RF%20Generation/20150802_201231_zpsn7btvlcg.jpg.html)

Awesome haul, Wempster!  That's quite a friend you've got there!

No "probably" about it. You can't play with your Amiibos on that! You gotta stop gettin' hopped up on the goofballs, son! We're worried 'bout ya.


ANYway, I dropped about $32 on the following pickups:

[img width=563 height=600]http://i1273.photobucket.com/albums/y409/Zagnorch/score%208-5-2015_zpsc4h82qzh.jpg[/img]

- Three vidya magazine back ishes

- CIB Dynasty Warriors

- Sealed Excalibur E-Chess Express handheld

- Space Station Silicon Valley N64 cart

'Late

Can you play Amiibos on anything? We can play Disney Infinity and actually use the figures for something other then decorations.

Picked this stuff during the week. 

Picked up these D is for Destiny children's book released by Bungie as a Promo for Destiny. I can't find any info on them at all. So if you have any info about these let me know. All I know is that only about 500 were printed. I put one of them up for sale on ebay, just to see what I can get for it.  Not sure if I am charging too much, but I guess we will see.

Got an Atari Jaguar Controller for 5.99 at Goodwill. Don't have a jaguar yet, but glad I was able to find a controller for cheap. This means when I get one, I don't have to spend a lot of money on a controller.

Picked up a CIB Merlin Electronic Game for 3.99, War of the Monsters for 6.99, and Bomberman Generation for 3.99, Wario Wii Smooth Moves for 10.00

@Wempster: Incredible pick up! I know who to call if I ever need to move...

Nice haul!  Agreed!  Good friends you have there.

This is a very good friend who did a lot of console gaming in the past, but now mostly spends his time on Steam and LoL.  So I am now enjoying the spoils of all his collecting over the years.

[img width=600 height=450]https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CLw7Df_WwAASI00.jpg:large[/img]

and a complete Earthworm Jim for 75$ CAD.

I might sell the Streets of Rage 3 on ebay if I can get 50$ for it to make Beyond Oasis almost free :3

Gah That Beyond Oasis box so sweet! - Jealous I only have a cart only...odd enough I am going through my Genny games cataloging and seeing what I need to eventually update.

It has been a while since I posted pics in this thread so here we go. (Photobucket is throwing a fit so sorry if the pictures are a little stretched.

I imported some beer from Wisconson (No this is not Trials Fusion Beer)

[img width=700 height=525]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v136/cisco678/pickup/beer_zpssp3zxulx.jpg[/img]

I received a book for Father's Day: (If you like the NES you need to read this book)

[img width=600 height=800]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v136/cisco678/pickup/I%20am%20Error_zpsmnrmvhwv.jpg[/img]

I took my son to Savers to look for some toys and he picked this out... What can I say he has good taste.  ;)

[img width=600 height=800]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v136/cisco678/pickup/megaman_zps8uusajzk.jpg[/img]

While we were at Savers we picked up a couple games: ( I told them I knew Zag so they gave me a discount. Everything in the picture below was $2 each.

[img width=700 height=525]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v136/cisco678/pickup/savers_zpsqgeio2n0.jpg[/img]

I picked up some Famicom stuff:

[img width=700 height=525]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v136/cisco678/pickup/famicom_zps1l8execc.jpg[/img]


Also some Super Famicom stuff:

[img width=700 height=525]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v136/cisco678/pickup/super%20famicom_zpsb8rjupsq.jpg[/img]

You never know what you'll find at Target:

[img width=700 height=933]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v136/cisco678/pickup/batman%20price_zpsxgd980rz.jpg[/img]

And one last thing...... (I'm so glad to cross this one off my list. It's hard to find an authentic copy)

[img width=700 height=525]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v136/cisco678/pickup/Gimmick_zpsvekzwojx.jpg[/img]

Gimmick! is one of my Top 3 games on the Famicom. Hope you snagged it for a good price. Congrats!

Thanks! It's a great game. I've made it to level 3 so far. Grabbing all of those hidden items is tough!

Yes, but you can't make it to the final level without them. Very fun and well thought-out game.

[img width=700 height=525]http://i.imgur.com/TYgpRUC.jpg[/img]

[img width=700 height=525]http://i.imgur.com/vqU2lOm.jpg[/img]

Can't wait until I can start buying games of my own again - he is killing me know (with PC Games..but yet still if anyone sees any or wants to sell any let me know..for his sake)

@Addicted: Holy crap! That's a great looking Super Fami, and Gimmick! is fantastic. I haven't looked at prices on that one since I bought mine, but I hope the gaming gods were kind to you. I have I Am Error. I'm almost finished with it, and really enjoy it. Racing the Beam is another book in the same series about the 2600 if you enjoyed this one.

So here's all the stuff I picked up as of July 25th.  Just a mere two weeks ago, which of course means I have another stack of game stuff to take pictures of already.  It's a never ending cycle.

I think I've jumped into this Amiibos thing with both feet.  I'm already planning on going out tomorrow to reserve the retro 3 pack from Gamestop.  They just look so cool.

[img width=639 height=360]http://i60.tinypic.com/mrs743.jpg[/img]

Garage Sales continue to suck, but at least I got some slightly cool stuff this time

[img width=639 height=360]http://i58.tinypic.com/21o0dis.jpg[/img]

The NES Games were $5 a piece and the O2 game was $3.

Here's the random stuff I've picked up from ye old internet

[img width=639 height=360]http://i61.tinypic.com/2m5ml2q.jpg[/img]

The top three games and the GBA game were all less than $2.  The XBone and PS3 games were all between $10 and $15 and the Gamecube for WiiU adapter was something like $16.

Gamestop had a couple of different buy 2 get 1 free sales, so I took a tour through all of my local gamestops and cleared out all of their 360 games that were under $3 as well as some other more expensive games I've been meaning to pick up, all of their Wii games that were $1 and a bunch of PS3 games and a 3DS game that I just wanted.  I also picked up some cheap PC games:

[img width=639 height=360]http://i57.tinypic.com/2i27cs4.jpg[/img]
[img width=639 height=360]http://i62.tinypic.com/154g7qv.jpg[/img]

Highlights from the 360 include Konami Classics Vol. 1, Eternal Sonata and Cursed Crusade.  Highlights for the Wii include Drahon's Lair Trilogy (Okay, this was $15, but you try finding it anywhere but the internet.  Can't be done), Sam and Max Season 1 and 2, Obscure, the Aftermath and Cursed Mountain among a ton of others.

Speaking of game stores, Disc Replay had a buy 2 get 1 free sale on all disc based systems sale, so I grabbed these:

[img width=640 height=328]http://i61.tinypic.com/25jfvq9.jpg[/img]

I can't remember where I got Assassin's Creed from.  I think it was less than $10 though.  That's kind of bad.

Finally my thrift store pick ups:

[img width=640 height=476]http://i57.tinypic.com/2gtxher.jpg[/img]
[img width=639 height=360]http://i61.tinypic.com/11afxa0.jpg[/img]
[img width=639 height=629]http://i60.tinypic.com/2me68go.jpg[/img]
[img width=640 height=477]http://i57.tinypic.com/65ae52.jpg[/img]
[img width=639 height=360]http://i59.tinypic.com/2mee6uc.jpg[/img]

Not a lot to say here.  They're all pretty standard thrift store things.  The Kinect was kind of cool at $12.  All of that Everquest stuff was in the box for the Everquest game I found, so it was just a ton of freebies.

That's it!  Until next time!

Bought this from singlebanana:

^awesome

holy crap indeed, i had Gimmick! on my Famicom WTB list but hadn't looked up prices yet...reconsidering it now after a quick ebay search LOL.

$33 shipped from Ebay.  Didn't know until I got it that Spiritual Warfare manual is for the PC. :(  I already have Exodus and King of Kings so they are both going up for trade!

First of all ... On vacation ... My fiance gave me this wonderful gift where he said he got from work (Goodwill) for less than $1 ...

[img width=700 height=525]https://scontent-ord1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xtp1/v/t1.0-9/p180x540/11226916_10204709158905645_8146240138950754993_n.jpg?oh=530f63a52fcaa01bd35721e7dc00476d&oe=563C0C9D[/img]

And then I got these for $4 at a local resale store where I'm good friends with the owner and they have me all 3 for the price of 1

[img width=462 height=471]https://scontent-ord1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xat1/v/t1.0-9/11813266_10204655504044307_1657138654237738878_n.jpg?oh=8d3f1ff432c0ec835f7c76bbc2775849&oe=564AB6F6[/img]

Great finds, Kanga.  I especially like the toes!

Long box Road Rash, very cool

A handful of random Goodwill finds from earlier this evening:

It works well! Also, I now have a black GBA!

never got to use or see one of those eReader sytems. They sounded cool in concept

more gifts and cheap deals.

Monopoly Casino Vegas Edition [PC] - .50 Cents
Civilization II (Sealed) [PC] - Gift from a relative
The Legend of Dragoon (Greatest Hits) [PS1] - Gift from fiance
Mortal Kombat [Genesis] - .50 Cents
Mortal Kombat II [Genesis] - Gift from fiance
Atlantis (Day Scene Box/Night Scene Cart) [Atari 2600] - $1
Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition (Version 2002 - Compaq OEM Sealed) - Found in the garbage in an Office Max ... why they still had it there made me wonder lol

the Only disappointment is ... I wish the Day Scene Cart was with the Day Scene Box of Atlantis ... now I need to find a Day Scene Cart and a Night Scene Box ... then I'll be happy :D

Stopped at my local christian thrift store after catching the 50% sign out of the corner of my eye while on my way home from work to my daughters daycare and ended up finding these. Games are normally $2 each and the wii accessories bundle was marked at $4 so with the sale I ended up walking out with everything for $5.
My wii fit was the pack in game that came with the sleeve so I have been on the look out for a good deal on the case and manual. I've been holding out for the original wii wheels due to personal selectiveness for original items and couldn't pass up getting it , the Nerf sports set and the Nintendo brand gun. 

Picked these up this week.

Got Total Recall for 11.50.  Winter Games for 6.50.  Pat Riley Basketball for 2.00

The two Donkey Kong Country Guides were .60 cents total for both.

Hey now,


In about six weeks, you'll be able to play two specific Amiibos-- four if you're counting variants-- in the latest entry of a certain video game series you may have heard of. You know, the one that birthed the "toys-to-life" video game industry? The one that, had it not been a hit, there never would have been Disney InfINity for you to spend your discretionary income on? And yet you deride it at every opportunity, when you should be humbly kneeling before it each and every night, profusely uttering your eternal gratitude for its success! You ought to be ashamed of yourself, ya heathen...  :P


Speaking of Skylanders, I recently picked up a sealed Series 3 Jet-Vac, along with a few other things.

[img width=550 height=619]http://i1273.photobucket.com/albums/y409/Zagnorch/score%208-10-2015a_zpscwz8w1fz.jpg?t=1439184070[/img]

- CIB Sonic Rivals for PSP

- CIB Final Fantasy Origins (FF I&II) for PS1

- GBA carts: Midway's Greatest Arcade Hits and Dungeons & Dragons: Eye of the Beholder

- CIB Kinetica and Airforce Delta Strike for PS2

- CIB Warriors Orochi for 360

- CIB Prince of Persia: The Fallen King, Dungeon Explorer: Warriors of the Ancient Arts and Super Scribblenauts (not pictured) for DS

- CIB Japanese DS game which is roughly Google-translated as "Five Years Kanji Calculation Weak Hunter DS." Sounds like fun, right? Aaaand Shadz will give us the lowdown on this game in 3... 2...1...

Aaaand finally: CIB Balance of Power: The 1990 Edition IBM PC game on 5.25" floppy.

'Scuse.

In honor of the success of the Shenmue III kickstarter campaign, I decided dish out the cash and buy U.S. Shenmue.

I've been playing Shenmue (US) and the Japanese versions, so the third will be a nice way to round it off.

Don't recognize that DS game - sorry to let you down Zag.

I picked these up at Goodwill yesterday for a total of 6 Dollars. Although the Guitar Controller has the box, it's lacking the Guitar Hero 2 Game for the 360, so I just picked up GH3 for the PC when I saw it on the shelf. :)

[img width=700 height=1166]http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a136/DarkTheThief/20150811_091058_zpslplxqwjm.jpg[/img]

Grabbed these two games at a pawn shop yesterday. The Wild Arms 4 is going to hit my FS/FT list soon. If anyone is interested, shoot me a PM.

Dang, nice pickups on the guides!

Why are those two games blocking all that goodness in the back ground?

I know, right?

Got both of these from Gamestop, as I had both a coupon and a gift card. Calling is a game I've been hunting for a while, and this is the only time I've ever seen a copy. It inexplicably shot up in value about a year ago but has leveled off lately so I was happy to grab it. Speaking of grabbing it, I got Criminal Girls because I am a pervert.

[img width=700 height=445]http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h32/grayghost81/IMG_20150811_194049_928-1_zpseodpbjhr.jpg[/img] (http://s60.photobucket.com/user/grayghost81/media/IMG_20150811_194049_928-1_zpseodpbjhr.jpg.html)

And these don't qualify as a score technically as I'm just borrowing them from a coworker, but I thought it would be cool to share the pic. Ninja Boy 1 and 2  and Honoo no Doukyuuji: Dodge Danpei. Cool Stuff. EDIT: Before anyone corrects me I realize they're known as Super Chinese Land 1 and 2 in Japan.

Well damn, and here I was going to correct you and say Ninja-kun, but that's Ninja Kid, not Ninja Boy.

I've been waiting for someone to use this emoji. Well done.

It was the first thing that POPPED into my head, wasn't there an emoji that was perverted?  That's what I would be doing if I saw that game.  :laugh:

Here are my scores from this week.

I have had a pending trade with Gamernick for awhile now, and I got them in the mail the other day, everything you see except for Power Blade was a part of the trade.


I got Power Blade for 11.00 at Value Village. It was originally 14.99 but I had a coupon which brought the price down.  I got really lucky because as I was walking into the store it was sitting on a cart waiting to be shelved.  A customer came in after me, who was looking at games, he seemed to be disappointed that I was able to grab it before him. I could kinda see it on his face.  
I have had that look on my face plenty of times. I understand what it is like to just miss something because you were a little too late. It happened to me not but a week ago, when I saw a guy grab a bunch of Jap & Big Box PS1 games. I was quite disappointed.

Very nice grab on the Power Blade!

Oh, Fokakis, you edged out the deal I got on Power Blade last Christmas ($12.50).  Snagged it out of a resale shop having a 50% off sale.  I would have been super jelly of that Last Starfighter, as I mourned its unavailability during my own trade with GamerNick, but I recently picked it up for $5 at a local flea market.

As for missing deals, well, I did miss out on a huge lot of CIB NES games at the local resale shop I mentioned.  It was amazing.  I went in for weeks with nothing new to see, only to miss out on those games by a few minutes.  Such is life.

You and me both, Ikariniku.  I needed that Last Starfighter.  Great Power Blade find!

Wow, Power Blade for 11 bucks? That's why I get mad when people say there aren't deals out there any more. There are....you just need to keep looking. Speaking of which, I stopped at a thrift store last week that's been hit or miss, and I'm glad I did. Over in the toy section, for $15 bucks, I grabbed this complete in box Dreamcast system. Finally! I own a Dreamcast! [img width=700 height=933]http://i.imgur.com/WksdjBd.jpg[/img]

@Fokakis: Awesome grab on that Power Blade!

@all-kaps: You can play the ultimate gaming system IN SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE....

Its thinking....









...about ice cream.









No that's just me.

Wow, that's cheap... But what's the condition and does it work?

@Duke Thanks! I was happy to find one that wasn't discolored.

Regarding Gimmick! I paid a little more than normal for Gimmick but finding a legit copy has been really hard of late. It was still north of $225.

I started reading Racing the Beam but I need to finish I am Error first. Both books are great!

Have you played Majou Densetsu II? It inspired La Mulana which itself has been called a 2D Dark Souls.

Got some good finds and upgrades today.

I found some nice cassette drawers to upgrade my Master System and Genesis cart storage. 2 for $1, and these will keep my carts dust free!

[img width=700 height=525]http://i.imgur.com/QLayzYv.jpg[/img]

Goodwill actually had a few nice PC games. I wanted Jade Empire more than the others, and it has everything with it, poster, art book, and manual.

[img width=700 height=525]http://i.imgur.com/cKqjLlI.jpg[/img]

A longbox Tekken? This is a dupe for me, so if you want to buy or trade for it hit me up.

Most likely played Worms but I know Steel Sky is also one of the more popular adventure games out on the Amiga. Lollypop is a fine platformer from 1994 and the PC CD edition even has some nice CD tracks. Street Racer is originally from the SNES in 1994 so it arrived late on both the PC and Amiga in 1997.

Solar Fox is great.  http://www.rfgeneration.com/blogs/necrom99/Solar-Fox-1669.php

Be careful getting into the world of Super Chargers. It's a lowly hole for only the bravest and most insane 2600 collectors.......like me

I own it, but haven't done more than test it. You have me intrigued with your description. Now if I could only peel myself away from the real Dark Souls.

@sirpsycho: Great Idea for storing genesis carts, might have to keep an eye out for those next time I go thrifting.

FAIR WARNING: I use those kinds of cassette cases to store my own bare Genesis/MD carts. Be very careful opening and closing the drawers. If one of the carts shifts in its spot in the drawer and misaligns, it can jam it shut.



On another note: 2 for $1?! On what looks to be a 36-cassette drawer case?! I'm lucky if I find one for $2.99 or less at any of my local thrifts!  :(

Hey, speaking of cassettes:


Picked up over half the Supercharger game library a couple years back. It was one of my more memorable thrifting finds:

(Third post from bottom of page)



See, if it weren't for your very persuasive blog post, I might never have known the (potential) joy of playing Solar Fox. Sure took me long enough to finally grab a copy, though, huh? You can blame the Skylanders for distracting me all those years...

I suppose I should pick up a Japanese Playstation to go with these eventually...

I ran into that when I was first loading it up before the picture. The far right drawer is not full, so the carts were falling over and got in the way of everything else. The others are sturdy because they're packed full. That drawer on the left literally holds every single Master System cart I own right now, it was just the right number of slots at 13. So the whole drawer is a 36 slot drawer.

Hey all! Thrift day for my brother he went out with my mom to Omaha as I didn't feel like going out there and didn't have a ton of money..because I finally picked up a few things that I have been saving for..for a while.  One will be on it's way (a joint purchase with my brother) and I finally got enough money saved up for a few things I have had on hold with our Very own Bickman for well a better part of a year haha we both just kept spacing it off lol. Thanks again Bickman!!!

My brother got everything for $1.00 - even the complete in Box Speak & Spell - It was marked at $15 but it was a special tag day he said.  All the Goodwill games were a $1.00 thanks to hook up. And he finally found some Tiger Handhelds been a while.

[img width=700 height=526]http://i.imgur.com/kOjYsvI.jpg[/img]


Both NES were $5.00 a piece says parts only but I am going to work on them and see whats wrong - one of them is the Canadian Mattel Version.  Pokemon Emerald Guide $0.50 with Poster.

[img width=700 height=525]http://i.imgur.com/N1dW1UR.jpg[/img]

and Thank you Bickman for the TG16  and SMS Cards - Controllers are on their way got them cheap - and watching a manual.

[img width=700 height=526]http://i.imgur.com/l6OTmPV.jpg[/img]


I luckily only spent a total of $1.00 on for Indiana Jones books not shown.

^^ Nice score on that TG16!

Here are today's Goodwill finds - more Xbox games than I usually see at one location. Also, stoked about the Activision collection:
[img width=700 height=830]http://i349.photobucket.com/albums/q388/MetalFRO/Mobile%20Uploads/2015-08/E6078A12-E1F6-428A-8E2E-B9A2B481337E.jpg[/img] (http://s349.photobucket.com/user/MetalFRO/media/Mobile%20Uploads/2015-08/E6078A12-E1F6-428A-8E2E-B9A2B481337E.jpg.html)

And here are my pawn shop finds. Very excited about the Watch Dogs game, especially at the price I paid for it!

Xbox and 24 games for 60$ CAD!

I'm almost sad to say but I'll be selling a few of these to cover the cost of the lot to basically get a bunch of free stuff. I've purchased so many games at retail/ebay price, it's time to get some of that money back :(

@krunch I just thought I'd mention that the GTA III and GTA VC go together, there's meant to be some cardboard packaging they both slip into. :)

I know! It's kind of a bummer that I don't have it. Probably can't find one alone. If I did it will likely have been crushed good :(

mumbo beat me to it.
Also, +1 to the KOTOR and Star Wars: Battlefront II counters.

Some awesome titles there! Sadly a Japanese ps1 isn't really all that cheap because I need one too haha

Picked up these at a new video game store that opened up in town.  The owner gave me 20% off.  Paid $23 total.

That's the best way to finance the hobby.  Buy lots, flip doubles/games you don't want or need to buy the next one, at least that works for me.

I'm starting to get a boner for original xbox exclusives.  It's like the 32x.  The games aren't very good, but there's a bunch of unique titles and you can get most of them for pennies on the dollar.

And by the way krunch, I see you got a bunch of Star Wars games there.  There's about 900 Star Wars games for the Xbox.

@krunch - looks like a great deal, and a bunch of solid titles for cheap!  That'll provide you a ton of game time.  I've come to really like the original Xbox, despite its quirks.  It's an interesting console.

@shaggy  Sweet NES scores.  Now, don't ruin it by actually playing Peter Pan and the Pirates.  [shiver]

@krunch  The first Xbox really brings back memories for me.  I was an Xbox guy.  I loved it for its quirky titles and robust console functionality.  I ripped many of my CDs to the hard drive to have custom soundtracks in games, and the graphics, coming out of the PS1's era of misaligned and muddy textures, looked like what 3D graphics should look like.  Microsoft tacitly marketed it as a gamer-friendly follow up to the Dreamcast, even snagging Shenmue II for the system.

I really enjoyed my Xbox.  I still have it, in fact, though I softmodded it long ago.  I did have a PS2 eventually, but only when I got one for free.

Yeah I'm definitely enjoying collecting for and playing Xbox. Lots of stuff is familiar and lots of stuff is weird half baked that's just fun to see. And there are so many exclusives. And like, exclusive exclusives that were only available at toysrus or blockbuster and stuff. And most games are just so cheap. My local used games store has a 3 for 10$ section full of Xbox games and they aren't bad titles!

Not officially my score but came in at my job. Just wanted to share.

No manual though. But the box is great and cart is so so.

Hey All! Well Now this is the art of..wait a minute.  :-)  So I got a couple of packages in the good ole mail two of which were purchases from stuff I sold recently at a local store so had a little cash to spend...not much but a little :-) 

From our very own Tynstar I picked up Dead Rising 2 High Stakes edition since he didn't sell it on the Bay I thought I'd grab it so my brother and I went half on it and Daytona USA is also from him Since i needed the actual long box edition for my set whom of which if you all remember I bought a ton of Saturn games from :-) Thanks again!!!

Then there is Tekken that I got from or very own Sirpsycho! Thanks so much! Another PS1 long box to cross of the list and sell the (lame) Greatest Hits version!

Super Mario Bros. 3 came from a friend although I already have it but this copy is in pretty good shape so an upgrade! Now all I have to do is find the Super Mario 3 manual with the Bros. Under the M.

[img width=700 height=526]http://i.imgur.com/4NZqxmf.jpg[/img]

THEN there is this I was reached out by a member on another collector site that I don't really go to that often and I was amazed at what he had to offer :-)  This is something my brother and I have been after for a long time and thought we would never get it! We already had the cart and manual for this game so a box only we thought would be impossible! Well this guy offered and we split the cost and yeah amazing!! This guy was awesome as well he knew how much it costs and sold it to us for $80.00 so my brother and I went half on that as well :-)

Can You believe $80.00 for this...??

[img width=700 height=525]http://i.imgur.com/GoHHnSZ.jpg[/img]

There's the back

Poor Bill...  :-\

You know, that makes me realize I never posted an important score I got a few months ago...

Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy, congrats Nick! 

On a side note, the Savers that had the Spiderman for $300 that I missed out on sold it for $200 and I'm hearing it was factory sealed.

[img width=486 height=282]http://216.92.79.43/files/paul-rudd.gif[/img]

Congrats Nick that is so awesome.
 Sorry Bil :0( and yes that savers did have a factory sealed one. I know the person who got it. Wants to get it VGA graded and bring it to RWE
Maybe we can take pics with it

While not even on the same plane of awesomeness as ClayFighter Sculptor's Cut or CIB 32X Spider-Man, I did discover a few volumes of Japanese Legend of Zelda manga adaptations:

Includes (clockwise from upper left) Oracle of Ages, Phantom Hourglass, and two volumes of Four Swords.

... 'Late

Thanks :-) ---mmmm factory sealed Spider-man for $200 drool...lucky guy whoever got it haha...well in September I will get to go to Savers in Kansas City area so hopefully that will be nice..but I have been to a few in Eastern Iowa a long time ago.

@zag nice on the Japanese Manga - luckily they came to America in English too :-)

@GamerNick Yeah, but the cover art on the English-language releases isn't as good.

^agreed

I've been working on all the misprints and minor variations for the Sega Dreamcast.  There's a DP thread out there that seems to outline all that is known so far.

http://forum.digitpress.com/forum/showthread.php?77991-2-Dreamcast-variant-questions&p=1184315&viewfull=1#post1184315

I've been managing to keep up with the community so far, except the Speed Devils game is still relatively unknown.  Only 3 copies have turned up so far.

I know this was awhile back but for some reason I missed this one. Great find on the Dark Souls Design Works. Been wanting to pick one of those up. Can't wait for Dark Souls 3. I didn't enjoy Bloodborne as much as Demon/Dark Souls series.

Bil will be sooo sad.

I was so sad when Bil picked up his copy of Pitfall 32X CIB w/ Poster for $40, after I passed on it, and then the price sky-rocketed. He's been looking for me ever since, and a few months back I had a pending trade with singlebanana for my copy of MUSHA. Bil found me a copy for a decent price at a convention, and it just so happened to line up with the rest of the trade cost with singlebanana, so I ended up with this beauty finally, along with the 7800 boxes/manuals I received from singlebanana:

We need to find a cheap copy for Bil, so everyone can stop crying over the 32X.  ;D

yay pitfall poster!

@Shadow: Congrats! How is the 32X version compared with all the other ports?

I have played the other ports, but I haven't broken out any of my consoles since I moved. :'(

@Shadow: You need a break. How about breaking out a console for a community play through?

I'll take a break once I've learned whether or not my mortgage is safe, or I have to sell my house. Mortgage company thing is a fiasco, but if I do actually have to sell my house I have decent equity in it. My wife and I are also considering declaring bankruptcy to deal with the backlog of bills that occurred once she got too sick to work on a regular basis, which would save us from selling the house.

Fun times.  :-\

Sorry to hear that. I recently ended up with an extra Steam code for Freedom Planet you can have if it would help take your mind off things.

On a more lighthearted note I finally found a Dreamcast game I've been wanting for years.

[img width=700 height=525]http://i.imgur.com/McE9uhP.jpg[/img]

Appreciate it, but all good. I'll just be happy once things are sorted out so we can finish setting up the other room and turn my current game room into a library.

A Skylanders library, right?

As a long time Berserk fan, I owned this game (purchased sealed for $8-$10 on ebay) long before I owned a Dreamcast.  Good times.

I hope not that would be horrible. Should be a Disney Infinity library.

I don't own a single Disney Infinity item/game. With that being said, I suspect Disney Infinity 3.0 will consume my life. Damn Star Wars.

I like the first one. Havent played the second one yet. I do like the look of the figures better then the Skylanders figures.

Hey now,


Disney doesn't need any more of your money; give it to ActiVision instead. Well, actually ActiVision probably doesn't need any more of your money, either. It just doesn't need it less than Disney doesn't need it.


And if you know what's good for you, you never will.


I was actually considering trying the Star Wars one out... but then I saw the figures. Man, did they make them look lame with that rounded-off blocky cartoony deal like they did with the Marvel figs. No offense, but I can never take a Star Wars "toys-to-life" game seriously when the Darth Vader figure looks like this:

[img width=300 height=178]http://i.imgur.com/WuHhr.gif[/img]


Well, that figures... so to speak. No accounting for taste.  :P


All right, time to give the Skylanders/Infinity skirmishes a rest for now.

Picked up a few things here and there:

- Skylanders Trap Team King Cobra Cadabra variant figure: picked this up for free with a preorder of the Dark Skylanders Superchargers starter set for the Wii U at G*meSt*p. You see any retailer offering a similar promotion for the Star Wars Infinity starter set? Huh?! Me no think so! BTW I wonder if this particular figure is voiced by Billy Dee Williams? Oh wait, that was Colt 45, never mind...

Aaaand back to you.

Same here. I don't have a PS4, but did play some Bloodborne at a friends. I prefer the Souls series, and can't wait for 3. Also, Dark Souls II Design Works comes out in November. :D

Not technically games, but they are for the PSP (except the Blu-Ray)...

These were from Poundland. They're all sealed! :D (£1 each)

Back when I went to the MGC I was looking at a Demon's Souls DE, but it was really pricey there. My friend mentioned that he had one that he'd be willing to sell me. Fast forward to last week, he gives a really good price on it. It came in yesterday and he even included an extra gift! I really have some of the best friends around.

They have been posting tips and talking about the work that went into getting the game on floppy.
My favorite pic so far was a guy calibrating his gravis pad to play the game on his 486.

Oh sure, tell me this immediately after I've sent my care package out to you...

GRRRRRR :stick:

Hey guys - I don't post much anymore but I found something that I've never seen before.   Standard green Luigi Bros. case, no artwork, only the white sticker on the front.    Maybe a case for a replacement Super Luigi Bros. U game?    I couldn't find anything about a recall or defect that would require this.    Any help would be appreciated!   Thanks!

That is completely awesome.  Would love to play that version :)

Very interesting tweaks, thanks for the link :)

Hi All,

Haven't posted my finds in a couple weeks. So here is what I got. I got a bunch of Sega Genesis Black Grid Games I need (Trying to Complete the set). Also got Hard Drivin and a nice copy of King of the Monsters.

Picked up Cobra Command cart, I think I am going to go for a Data East boxed set. Not sure yet. Also got the Orange Gamecube controller at the same place.

Picked up a Space Invaders which brings me to having half of the Atari 520 library.  

I have also been going through my wishlist and picking up games I have listed there. One of those was Treasures of the Deep. Love the atmosphere of this game.

Also picked up Spyro the Dragon Collector's edition, probably will put it up for trade or sale. Don't need it.

Yesterday I made my way to PAX Prime and picked up a few goodies: Vault 111 T-Shirt, Nuka Cola Bottle Opener. Also picked up a cool Fluxx card game.

Oh, and I saw this while I was there:

Got these from Mechblue, $30 shipped!

@Fokakis79: That Dark Souls III display is amazing. Did you get to play it at all?

It really was, it was actually a fountain. Black Water was coming out of the dead creature. I did not get to play. The line was insane. I decided to do other stuff, because I only had one day to go.

Huh. I forgot to post these charity shop finds.
LEGO Alpha Team (PC, 95p) and NFS:MW (Missing disc, XBOX, Free)

I've been absent from Small Scores for a while.  Expo planning, new baby on the way (any day now), and craziness at work.  When it rains it pours.

My in laws made the drive up from Florida over the last 2 days and my father is law brought up his "video game closet" and gave all the stuff to me on the condition that it will stay in the family and be loved.  That shouldn't be a problem.   Everything in these pictures are the original systems and games that my father in law purchased when they were first released.

[img width=700 height=525]http://i.imgur.com/ZmY23RP.jpg[/img]

2 Atari 5200 systems with the boxed trackball.  He says he bought a second because the first stopped working so I'll practice my 5200 repair skills once I figure out which one needs them

[img width=700 height=525]http://i.imgur.com/0ZDSgpf.jpg[/img]

Awesome

[img width=700 height=525]http://i.imgur.com/e7qAtof.jpg[/img]

Sorry for the dark pic.  His Odyssey stuff was wrapped in plastic to prevent box wear, which is why everything was so well preserved:

[img width=700 height=525]http://i.imgur.com/vcnvqSU.jpg[/img]

He also kept a handful of the Odyssey Newsletters

[img width=700 height=525]http://i.imgur.com/vNSgPla.jpg[/img]

And inside the Odyssey system box, we found...

And inside the SNES box we found:

and he must have been a Nintendo Power subscriber because:

Really excited to add a nice big lot to the collection/museum.  Really awesome to have some really great older stuff that you really dont see boxed very often.  Thanks again, Jim!

A Nintendo Power N64 controller? Awesome!

@Bill: Congrats! and Amazing!

Were there receipts in any of those boxes?

Thanks!  There is one taped to the PSX box.  Haven't found any others yet..
