Dead inside, dead inside, every single one of us is dead insiiiide.   er, wait, that was the Devil inside... damned misheard lyrics.

Michael Hutchence is dead inside AND outside.

And yes, I do realize I'm going straight to hell after making that last statement. No need to remind me.

BTW some of the Perler beads in that lot glow in the dark...

...which could compensate for the lack of sunlight.

My brother just purchased 2 of the 3 Capcom games we need to complete NES collection - Gold Medal Challenge 92 and Code Name: Viper - Both CIB.  Can't wait until they get here!  Hopefully will be down below 100 games left in the coming weeks!

It's been a great day today so far. First, the excellent Moonraker_fats was a very kind and generous soul and sent this to me gratis:


When he mentioned it, I assumed it was just a loose cart, but it is BRAND NEW SEALED. You, sir, are a king among men.

My local retro store (Game X Change) bought out the stock from another one that had gone out of business. I used to stop by that one from time to time, and it wasn't surprising why it went out of business from the prices. Well they were just getting the Saturn stuff out when I got there, and I picked up all of this for $45:


The entire bottom row is BRAND NEW SEALED, and the cases Clockwork and Wipeout look mint. They had several other sealed titles, but most of the rest were sports. They did have Robo Pit and Scorcher, and maybe I'll go back for those two as well. They also had 2 boxed SEGA Mega Mouse, and a boxed Saturn 6-player adapter that I might make a return trip for later. The guys at the shop really treat me very well, and are great about giving me a call when cool stuff comes in.

Duke, if you can get anything Saturn sealed for < $5, do it. The cases alone can sell for that.

Duke, if you can get anything Saturn sealed for < $5, do it. The cases alone can sell for that.

I'm tempted, but most of the sports titles are priced at $4 plus tax. They have a truckload of sealed sports titles, but since most folks would want them just for the cases I probably wouldn't see much profit.

I did tell them that they should check with their boss, and I'd make them a bulk offer on all the sports titles they wanted to get rid of.

I guess I should mention, if anyone is looking for sealed Saturn sports titles let me know, and they had a few Robo Pit and Scorchers sealed for about $7 + tax.

Love the ninja gaiden sealed! Congrats!

[moonraker_fats]

Sealed-shmealed...open that bad boy and play it!

Good.  Then hopefully the skin tone will go from an Elmer's glue pure white to a Miracle Whip off-white.

Clockwork Knight is a great one, Duke!

[Shadow Kisuragi]

Picked up a copy of Plok loose for $4. I wish the Goodwill around here would price their games appropriately - $4 for a game is nearing eBay ranges, and makes me want to pay for a CIB copy for a couple extra dollars instead of supporting them.

[engel762]

Went out and did some hunting, picked up some new stuff, some upgrades to stuff I've already got...

Some strategy guides for Final Fantasy - Charlies Angels, Final Fantasy Tactics, Grand Theft Auto XBox Collection, and my copy of Hyrule Historia arrived from Amazon.  Also snagged on some Bubblegum Crisis 2040 DVDs.



A copy of Klax to go with the empty box I had for it.  Slalom, Tennis, and Wild Gunman.  Scratch 3 more black box titles from the list.  Section Z, and Ikari Warriors II.  Pitfall for 2600, aaaand Mega Man X2. 



Mortal Kombat and NBA JAm for Sega CD, no Sega CD yet, but they were cheap s what the hell eh?  Super Street Fighter II, and Mortal Kombat 3 boxed to replace loose carts.



Mortal Kombat Kollection, Romancing SaGa, Final Fantasy X, God of War II, Arc the Lad: Twilght of the Spirits, and Gradius V.  FFX, GOW II, and Romancing SaGa were upgrades of either incomplete copies or GH releases.



House of the Dead 2 (all stars), Mega Man 8 GH (sealed), Metal gear Solid: The Twin Snakes.  The two NES manuals were from Nick out of a pile of freebies he got at one of our stops.



I also had a rather large box arrive in the mail from Singlebanana,  and here begins my Magnavox Odyssey 2 collection!  I also bought a small lot of Jaguar stuff from him.  I figured I already had an Atari 5200, so I may as well get the other console that tried to kill Atari











Maybe I should have made a blog out of this...  gah!

Edit:
Ended up posting a list of the O^2 games in my blog...

[moonraker_fats]

Damn engel762! Awesome day...props on the Odyssey stuff!  And the Jag too, minus Cybermorph

Where did you learn to fly?  Where did you learn to fly?  Avoid the ground.  Avoid the ground.  Where did you learn to fly...

I have our resident Singlebanana to thank for that awesome O^2 lot, and the Jaguar.  Quoted me a fair price, and was patient while I gathered the funds to buy it off him

[GamerNick]
