The Small Scores Thread: Part 2!

[Techie413]

This whole page is filled with awesomeness! I love that model of the Genesis for some reason, looks badass!

@Techie have you played either Champions game? I loved Return to Arms on multiplayer

I'm sitting at the office for my last on-call weekend, but will hopefully be able to try them out this upcoming week.  It's always nice to hear other collectors show interest in your finds.  That helps seal the deal on which to play next.

4 more to go!

@Fleach nice grab with Kartia! Never seen it in person. Very jealous!

@TheGrue - Not sure if you intend to play it but Starfox Adventures is nowhere near as bad as the reputation it has!

[russlyman]

I'm at the too many games convention. Going to pick up more games tomorrow. Picked up Double Dragon 2, Code viper and super dodge ball for DS.
Also got this cool book




Also got a BrentalFloss CD

[shoboni]

Well, I didn't do to bad today(tag is what I paid)

*snip*

That's $2.39, not $239, if that's what you're thinking XD.

Yeah, i know.  Insanely jealous guy over here.  Even with a little bit of label damage that's a tremendous deal.

And that's not even my best Goodwill grab, that honor goes to getting both Wind Waker, and the Master Quest Bonus game CIB in near new condition for that price a piece ON THE SAME TRIP, one even had a memory card in with it.

Hey russlyman, haven't seen you around for a bit. Nice book and CD. You know there are a few other RFGers at that show too right?



@Retrorage - Afterburner, sweet....

[Zagnorch]

Hey now!

Didn't find much today, just this grab bag of promo pins 'n' buttons for $2.49:



- Wingman Warrior control stick button: has 3 little flashing red lights that still light up. Unfortunately, the scan didn't pick   them up.

- SNASM 2 pin: Something to do with the Atari Lynx Jaguar, if my highly limited knowledge of SNASM 2 is even remotely correct.

- Four Atari Lynx lenticular name-badge buttons: Actually, "Touch the Future" would have been a far more apt tag line for the DS. And speaking of ill-fated platforms:

- Sega CD "WelcomeToTheNextLevel" pin

- ToeJam & Earl pin

- Mortal Kombat logo button

- Tengen KLAX button

- Two Sonic 2 pins: one is slightly different from the other; Sonic appears to be winking in the left pin. Don't know if it's intentional or just a defect. EDIT: And no matter how much you beg, Raze, you're NOT gettin' these, or the Sega CD pin. 

- MAXIS pin

- I'm not certain, but I think the pin of the young soccer player ties into the Backyard Sports game series.

- Finally, there's the one on the lower right. I know I've seen it around before, but damned if I can remember what it refers to. A little help with this one, please?

Did you go to Too Many Games?

[GrayGhost81]

Went to the last Gamestop that I know of that carries PS2. The guy told me their store is "where PS2 games go to die" meaning they are getting all the other stores' stock.

Sadly, although he told me they had crates upon crates full of games, they didn't have too much that was desirable. I even pulled up my WTB list in my sale thread and he was nice enough to take the time to look up each game for me.

In the end I was happier with the Wii titles, even though I have been looking for Snoopy Vs The Red Baron for ever and it is in perfect condition. Anyway, cross off another Atlus and another NIS title off the list.

Yeah! I didn't even know until I fired it up and saw the Grasshopper splash screen! I just grabbed it because it was cheap and in really good shape.

[Link41]

Picked up The Walking Dead (All episodes) and The Unfinished Swan from the E3 sale on PSN for $8.50

Yes I'm going back tomorrow. Meet up with some fellow members and had dinner. Good times. Hoping to get some deals tomorrow.

I'll post a little more about the show when I have more time, but here are my grabs from the show.

First, Bil had a nice surprise for me when I got to the hotel. Thanks again, Bil!


These I picked up the first night. Makai Island is a nice repro of a Famicom game, and even included a poster sized map (not shown). Next is Dragon Leap, a new homebrew title by the maker of Dragon Feet. Only 30 copies of this edition were produced for the show. I picked up one to keep, and I'll probably flip the other later.


Bread and Butter is the SMS homebrew from the same developer as Dragon Leap. Again, only 30 were made for the conference. I believe this is the first SMS homebrew released on cart, but if someone knows of another let me know. The other two manuals were in nice shape and fairly priced.


Lastly, here is the program from the show. Also a huge thanks to Izret, who brought this awesome Jeff Rovin book to me!


I had a really fun time there, and enjoyed getting to spend time with folks.
