The Small Scores Thread: Part 2!

Aaaand I just noticed the Link to the Past appears to be the Majesco variant.   ah well, I'll live.

Why is that a negative thing?

They tend to be just so... cheaply made?  It's just kind of annoying to me.

[RetroRage]

Oh.  I didn't know it was a quality thing.  I have the same LTTP CIB, but not sealed.

[Shadow Kisuragi]

Majesco reprints were often made without the originals, so they had scanned artwork and the overall packaging was pretty poor. Game-wise, it's still the same game.
It's unlikely that there is a Majesco release of a 1st party Nintendo title - Nintendo reprinted those themselves.

Oh thank God! haha  Now I don't have to watch out for that one.

Sealed SNES games are gorgeous. Congrats!

usually the majesco re-releases i've seen actually have a majesco logo somewhere on them

Things were pretty dry today, but I blame that on not being able to hit the road until a little before 11.  One of the trials of being a parent, I guess.

I got these at a Blockbuster near my office that is going out of business.  I took these while in the middle of a World of Warcraft raid because clearly I take raiding very seriously, yo:



and I grabbed these from various thrifts around town:



I already had Incoming, but my copy didn't have the back insert.  I also already have Spyro, but my copy is the original release and it's disc only so once again I wasn't afraid to throw $2 to get a better copy.  The Keyboard is brand new.  The original seals were cut, but everything inside was still bagged.  Now I just need to get Rock Band 3 to try it out.  The book is an 800 page guide for creating your own levels in Doom, Doom 2, Hexen and Heretic called 3D Alchemy.  I'll never use it, but it was only 50 cents so I picked it up as a curiosity.

For you Detroit people out there, that's a Drew and Mike CD from about 2001.  I was pretty excited about that since this is when they were still funny and didn't just read out of the tabloids.  Now I just need to get a Ray and Pete CD to play between each cut and it'll be like I'm 20 all over again.

You forgot to mention your Detective Barbie!

Those aren't Majesco re-releases then, at least for Genesis and SNES. I know Majesco labeled a few of their reprints for Game Gear.
EDIT Ahh...Alchemy, old school Quake engine programming.

Had sort of a small score today...




  LOL Just kidding. This is actually a preview of my forthcoming blog...

 

PS: I need a better camera... :/

Stopped by an antique store on the way back from an out-of-town birthday party. I've stopped there several times in the past and have always had good luck with 2600 pick ups. This time, it was Coleco.

All for $3 each:

Illusions
River Raid
Q*Bert
Frogger
The Heist
B.C.'s Quest for Tires
Space Cavern (red variant) - 2600

Also grabbed a Slik Stik controller for $5. Very compact and cool little joystick: http://www.rfgeneration.c...fo.php?ID=U-999-H-00080-A

Hey now!

Picked up a few things on my way home from SanFran today:



- CIB Ninety-Nine Nights for 360, $5.99
- CIB New Super Mario Bros. U, $5.99
- Skylanders Giants Fright Rider and Legendary Chill figures: Just one figure to go, and my from mainline Giants collection is complete...

Although I'm mostly of Irish stock, I find St. Patrick's Day rather bogus. None the less, I love to "celebrate" the holiday with...



...Bailey's Irish cream poured over Lucky Charms.

'Cuz Beerios are for sissies.

But if you think that's bad, wait 'till you see what I'm gonna have for lunch...


Aaaaand finally:



Got me some new sneaks. Loves me some New Balance, lemme tell ya.

And yes, I do know ut's pretty sad when I consider new shoes worthy of being mentioned in small scores.

On another note: why are two of my photos posting sideways?! That's not how they were oriented when I uploaded them to my MediaFire account, and that's not how they appear on the account either!

If you figure that out, let me know. My android does that to me sometimes when I upload to my photobucket.  It's oriented properly on the phone until I upload it, and then it'll be upside down or sideways.  Good times.

Got two PS3 games, both CIB:

Final Fantasy 13-2 - €10
The Darkness II - €8

Eventually I'll get that "made" and "assembled" thing straight.  I'll see if I can get some scans made without smushing the box in my scanner.  Unfortunately, there won't be any cart or manual scans this time
Oh no... I just realized... does that mean there could be the Assembled in Mexico one out there too?  AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

Put a piece of white printer paper over the game's box on the scanner and don't close the lid.  The scan should still come out and your box will be smush free!
