Hey everyone!  Been a while since a new blog - still looking for that Ducktales 2 box for NES Cheesy  BUT on to a lighter note! My brother and I finally purchased another Holy Grail of ours Panic Restaurant!!!! This bad boy is in mint I mean like 9.5 out of 10!!! Maybe even a 10!!  This game is hard to come by CIB.  I went to one of our local shops where we have been getting some good NES games and this one happened to be there.  I was ecstatic to see it there!! First thing I did was grab it and made sure it was complete and he didn't have a price on it yet so I was like $150. He's like sure!  So I texted my brother and he came down with the cashola as I only had some of the cash and we purchased this beauty!  This game is a good achievement now all we need are these:

*Flintstones 2 (Cart only or complete)
*Little Samson (Cart only or complete)
*Stadium Events (Duh)
*All Panesian titles

So if any of you have those and willing to let them go let me know~!!!

But here are the pictures - and no the game ISN'T for sale OR trade!

Hey Everyone! My brother and I did a little browsing yesterday at a few places like a couple of Goodwills, Gamers, and some other Thrift Stores.  But we hit a pretty good mix and found some more NES games to add to our seemingly growing collection that we have started this year!  The Year of NIntendo as I put it for my brother and I.  We will be selling some of the games we bought just CART Only.  Last week I purchased a few things that won't be pictured like Mass Effect 3 N7 Collector's Editin for PS3.  I love the fact that we are finding so many boxed NES Games in the wild and at this point nothing has passed up our most recent from my last post Mega Man 6 Pristine condition.  So here is the list and prices we paid for each NES Game in their boxes.

List:
*After Burner - $5.00
*Clash At Demonhead - $3.00
*Major League Baseball - $1.00
*Pinball (Nice Condition Black Box Game) - $5.00
*Road Runner - $8.00
*Rolling Thunder - $2.00
*Super Mario Bros. 1 - A WHOPPING - $2.00!!!!! CIB
*Super Sprint - $6.00
*Toobin' - $8.00 (We will be selling just a cart of this game)
*Vindicators - $2.00
*Wheel of Fortune - $6.00
*Winter Games - $3.00

Item that won't be pictured is a box only Sega Genesis 2 6-Pack Edition - I have all the items to put in it though to make it complete the Box was on $2.00.

We went to Half Price Books and purchased Final Fantasy Tactics - NON Greatest Hits Guide for $6.00 and a Children's Hint book For Super Mario Advance for $2.00!

Then we went to an Electronics Store and purhcased a Commodore 128 complete in box for $45.00! Then we went to a couple of Goodwills and picked up a few other things:
A-Train PS1 - Complete with Everything - $2.00, Tekken 2 PS1 Greatest Hits for $3.00 and get this Die Hard Trilogy PS1 Greatest Hits - FOR $0.34 yes that's CENTS!   A while back my brother bought Civilization II Multiplayer Gold Edition at a Flea Market for $3.00 and yesterday he bought Civilzation II at Goodwill for $3.00.

Here are the pictures:

Hello everyone.  Went to one of my local stores here and found some nice NES games that I have been wanting.  My brother and I are working on replacing all of our loose NES Games with CIB NES games and selling our cart only or cart with manual copies.  SO today I picked up very Minty Mega Man 6 complete with everything I.E. Manual, Poster, Black Sleeve, Nintendo Power AD card, and the kicker the plastic that goes around the game.  This copy is practically brand spanking new.  Then I also picked up Bucky O'Hare also very minty but not quite as new, Lethal Weapon little crease on front of box otherwise CIB and good shape, Raid 2020 Minty with everything including plastic sleeve, Wally Bear and The No Gang CIB.  Then from the Amazon guy my copy of Dick Tracy in very Minty condtion came with everything (including the plastic sleeve) I got for $5.00, and I got my CIB T&C Surf Designs.   So another good find!!

ALSO I picked up for $35.00 a table top Donkey Kong Jr.  Works perfectly and in good shape.

Hey everyone.  Been a while since I have done a blog so I thought I'd just start a community type blog.  I was looking at my collection trying to figure out what is the most impressive part of it well I decided since my brother and I have been getting so many Boxed NES games these days I would say that is our MOST impressive part of our collection.  I mean we have some pretty rare titles or aka highly sought after titles.   Like:
*Die Hard
*Rainbow Island
*Bomberman II
*Jetson's
Among a few others these are just a few I can name off the top of my head.  Most of our games are CIB which makes this part of our collection extra special! So the second most impressive would be our Collector's Edition's (See back dated blogs on my blog page), then probably our GB/GBC/GBA games, then N64 (Clearly we have a theme), SNES, and then PS1 and so on and so forth.  BUT TELL ME ABOUT YOURS! What is your favorite part of you collection!?!?!?! Also if you want to see pictures I would be more than happy to post some on here once I take some of our NES collection.

* Where in Time is Carmen Sandiego? - CIB (YES even has the World Almanac!) - $16.00!!!

I Purchased another copy of Jetson's because it came with the manual that I needed to complete my box copy (keep an eye out we are going to be selling this and quite a few others on eBay.  We will be posting a blog on what is for sale and where you can go to get them!  Most will be BIN and some Bids).

Hey everyone! Going to keep this short but sweet.  Today I decided I wanted to buy some more games especially NES games in their boxes! My brother and I decided we really need the Mega Man's complete in box on NES to complete our Capcom NES collection. ALSO if anyone has an extra Mega Man 5 manual I would be willing to buy or trade for it, and I need a Complete Mega Man 1 & 6, so if anyone could help out that would be great. But today I went to what I am going to call my NES heaven store and purchased Gun.Smoke CIB, T&C Surf Designs CIB.  Then I went to it's sister store and purchased Mega Man 2, 3, & 5 CIB.  Then I went to CD Tradepost and purchased Mario Is Missing on NES Cart only, and Diablo in minty condition for PS1. My brother purchased a couple of Super Famicom games on eBay Monopoly and Sim City CIB.  Today I purchased on eBay for $40.00 Mega Man 4 CIB.  So anyways hope you all enjoyed this blog!!!

Here are the pictures and please comment!

Hello Fellow Gamers!  My brother and I did a little more shopping today at a couple of our favorite stores.  IF you haven't read the previous blogs please do so!  We bought probably our last bulk lot of NES games for a while.   Most of these titles are hard to come buy especially complete in the box such as DIE HARD & Metal Storm!  We have spent quite a bit of money accomplishing something we are excited to have a good quality and quantity of NES games in their boxes.  Sorry none of these are for trade or for sale.  We might be getting rid of some loose games and maybe some games we have duplicates in their boxes.  But anyways we went to a Comic store which sells a ton of video games and then we went to Goodwill's GoodBytes.  We also went to Nebraska Furniture Mart so I could buy a bundle PS Vista!  Now my brother and I both have one!  And I also purchased a couple of games Army Corps From Hell & Ninja Gaiden Sigma Plus.   My brother purchased the system and a couple of games on the day it came out he bought the same bundle pack and the games he purchased were Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 & of course Uncharted: Golden Abyss.  This month has been great and this lot of games is a good way to end the month.  Especially with the boxed NES Games Die Hard, Mighty Final Fight, Metal Storm, Barbie (yes I said Barbie), Pac-Mania and a few others.  Another side note my brother bought Star Wars on NES complete in box in an earlier blog from eBay and today he surprised me with the sequel Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back on NES complete in box! Also purchased from eBay.  So hope you all enjoyed and here are the pictures please comment!

Hello again fellow gamers.  Today we got some more goodies in the mail and I went on yet another shopping spree for mostly unliscensed NES games.  My total purchase at the store was sadly $262.00 ick but it was worth it!  I am just waiting on one more package in the mail my complete copy of Deja Vu.  Today I also got two liscenesd NES games Robocop 3 and Romance of the Three Kingdoms both complete in their boxes.  My brothers eBay mail order today arrived all complete in box DuckTales 1, Chip and Dale 1 and Fester's Quest.  Today I recieved another personal grail Jetson's on NES.  So again I do believe this is the year of the Nintendo for our collection.  Today my brother also purchased Sin & Punishment on the Wii brand new at K-Mart for a meer $13.00!  While Game Stop still sells new for $40.00 and we needed the game because we have the Japanese N64 game Sin & Punishment complete in box in minty condition we purcahsed a long time ago.  My brother also recieved in the mail today pretty much brand new Star Trek Judgement Rites Limited Collector's Edition, the VHS is still brand new and the game is limited number to 75,000.  This game is in pristine condition!  So here are the pictures please comment!!

Love NINTENDO! Especially NES!

Hello fellow gamers!  My brother and I have done a ton of shopping the last few days and it invovles mostly NES games in their boxes! And above all else a holy grail was achieved with the purchase of Earthbound! with the Strategy Guide.  Another achivement is getting Bomberman II complete in box in Minty condition!  The last couple of days we started off with eBay purcahses.  My brother bought Earthbound, and I bought Final Fantasy NES complete in box with everything, yes that includes the map.  I also bought ISS 2000 for N64 complete in box in good condition!  Most of our purchases were at a local store and they are all NES games complete in boxes, game boy games complete in boxes, and a couple of SNES games complete in boxes.  We have decided to call this year in our collection the Year of Nintendo.  Some of the games we purchased are even BRAND NEW!!!  Most everything is in pristine to mint condition, some of the eBay NES Games we bought in their boxes fair to near-mint to so so condition.  We also went to Gamers and purchased Starcraft 64 for a great price even though it's just the cart, anyone have a box or manual for sale? ;-)  We also went to a local store called Game Vault and purchased Fire Embelm for GBA complete in box in minty condition along with the strategy guide.  Some of the best finds were Toxic Crusaders complete in box, Star Wars (on eBay) complete in box, Act Raiser 2 complete in box, Romance Three Kingdoms II complete in box, GI Joe complete in box, among others!!!  This has truly been a great find these past couple of days, and thought we'd mention it on Finder's Keepers because this is a haul of a life time for us and well we think among others as well.  SO here are the pictures of everythying from all the stores, PLEASE feel free to comment.

Hello FELLOW GAMERS!  This is a personal gamers debate log!  First off I'd like to say RF GENERATION is the best collecting website out there!  I have been on a few sites while I think NintendoAge and SegaAGE are separate from RF Generation in the sense of total collecting.  While RF Generation gears towards all systems and games which gives it my 10 out of 10 rating, NA and SA gear toward only just that Nintendo and Sega.  The forums are pretty good on those sites and the administrators are pretty cool as well. BUT this site is the best because they have everything! Yes that includes great Admin's.  If it wasn't for this site I wouldn't be able to track my brother's and mines collection!!! We do use Collectorz because its a good site to hold all information and prices for our games and so much more, again not tied into this topic because it's a home based product, I don't use there Collectorz Connect for one it costs money.  SO let's move onto that RF is free to users to catalog their games!! This site helps collectors know what they have, whether it'd be games complete in their boxes, just have the carts, or heck just have the manuals.  The only thing that needs added (see other blogs for this) is strategy guides, but my brother and I are working on that site and hope to work with RF Generation.  I recommend this site to every collector I know because it's a good database to store their game collection!

SO for those gamers out there that meet new collectors! Pass RF Generation on to them! The more collector's the better the community! So Live On CHANNEL 3!

When you were young did your parents ever just throw away your video game systems and game boxes??  The proverbial saying "Yeah, my mom threw out my baseball cards when I moved out of the house."  Well that saying just doesn't go with baseball cards but VIDEO GAME STUFF AS WELL!!!  My parents had collected Atari before I was even born they threw away all of their boxes but a half of one that they used to hold the manuals in Frogger.  My parents also gave away a lot of stuff too like the Timex Computer which was used to play video games kind of like a dinosaur of handheld video games.  As late as the year 2002 my parents threw away video game boxes particularly my Mother! who deemed that since they were just cardboard they were worth NOTHING!  Well MOM your WRONG! Haha Video games are worth way more complete and above all else its just sentimental to say wow! I have a complete in box EARTHBOUND in mint condition like new!  (Sadly I don't at this time)
Parents from the Atari age just don't understand that video games are of value especially games from there era!!! Sorry for some of you that are on here and are Atari area (but I was born in 1983 so I am still part of that era).  My father worked for a place called Lionel Playworld (I so wish he still did, I really need a time machine to stop myself as a kid and my parents).   I bet everyone that had parents like mine wishes they had a time machine to go back and give yourself at a young age and your parents a smack in the back of the head!  I know some collector's out there they parents did keep everything! But for us collectors who didn't we are picking the slack up now finding anything we can in the box (except for the occasional collector who doesn't care about the boxes-SHAME ON YOU!).

But ANY THOUGHTS?? Let's talk and just relieve the horrible memories and relax and then think about how things have gotten better since!

ALSO SHAME ON PARENTS THAT THROW AWAY STUFF STILL TODAY!!!

Hey everyone! My brother purchased a couple of nice Nintendo items.  Nothing like my RR2 in box but pretty good haul.  He purchased a complete action set in box for $65.00 and complete in box Worms Armageddon on Game Boy Color for $10.00.  I am working on photos for our other Nintendo Related purchases within the last year or two so keep an eye out.  Please post any comments you might have and here is a picture of the items!

Hey everyone. My brother and I have collected a lot of games throughout the years. We have a huge collection of games spanning from Pong Systems to the most recent systems. We also have Japanese systems and lot of cool video game related items. Check out our blogs from time to time because we "score" a lot at our video game stores, flea markets, and of course eBay.
