The Small Scores Thread: Part 2!

[Shadow Kisuragi]

Yeah, it did come with a book, maybe an encyclopedia?  Yeah I would count it with the set too.  Are there any Konami Games that didn't have silver boxes for NES?  I know ZEN: Intergalactic Ninja is blue, and maybe Monster in my Pocket is a different color.

I've got 2 extra encyclopedias. I randomly find them at Goodwill all the time.

Finally found a few things worthwhile at my Goodwill.



SimEarth is complete and in a beautiful box.

Pretty excited to find these two, I remember playing them when I was a kid. Need to track down a 2600 console so I can fire them up.


Been playing a few of the Castlevania games recently and thought I would give it a try.


Now all I need to do is free up some time for Ni No Kuni and I'll be set. 

Nice, Pick ups. Love the Atari Cartridges. About Castlevania: Lament of Innocence My goal this year has been to get all Castlevania games, and I recently picked this one up as well. its a pretty good game, it follows the Castlevania: Symphony of the Night type of play. Where you level up stats, and find equipable items. Pretty fun Castlevania game, though it is not a whole lot challenging IMO.  Let me know what you think about it.

Sim Earth looks great.  I've always wanted to play that.

I need to hook up a PC with a 3.5" floppy drive to play it. Or find an easy workaround.

They make 3.5" external floppy drives with an USB connection. An example:

You could use one of those and DOSbox.

I was implying downloading it, its not piracy since I own a copy after all.

I realized that      I was giving the straight path for all to see.

I have that same version of SimEarth up in my computer room.

Has Vector found it yet?


Gonna play himself some Redneck Rampage.


Anyway, I grabbed a couple things today:




- Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six and Army Men: Sarge's Heroes N64 carts, $1.99 each

- CIB Chaotic Shadow Warriors for 360, $3.99

- CIB Mario Party 6 for GameCube, $5.99: This was a bit more than I'd usually pay for a game, but I liked the folks who worked at the Goodwill I got this at, and put my cheapassery aside for a moment. Plus, I also know that what I paid was a fraction of its average online secondary market value, so there's that.

BTW Mario's pose on that box looks very familiar...


Considering his love of chili dogs, I highly recommend you NOT take him up on his offer to "pull my finger!"


Oh, and I rifled through my big ol' tangly tub of accessories and cords, and came across something I didn't even know I had:



If it hadn't been discussed on the CollectorCast a few shows ago, I never would have known how rare and highly sought-after the GameCube component cable was... and still is. And no, it's NOT for sale or trade. So nyaaah!

P.S. sorry for all the Sonic references in this post. Razor Knuckles has been a bad influence on me lately...

Grrrr I want GameCube composite cables!! Good find zag!

[Razor Knuckles]

Interesting component cables for the GameCube Mr. Norch. I've never seen game system component cables without the stereo cables. How the hell do they expect you to get sound.  

[Duke.Togo]

I believe you'd be using digital audio out.

You use the audio coming from the normal a/v connector. Yeah, you've gotta have two cables plugged in at once.
