lonesome_pa Posted May 13, 2002 Share Posted May 13, 2002 Was wondering if anyone had any good finds. I did so-so; found 2 Coleco Gemini controllers, Atari 2600 Mountain King, boxed Tennis, and Eggomania. They also had a boxed Sega Genesis for only $15, but I passed it up. For some reason, that system never did anything for me. I wish I could have found more, but am just happy that I did find something. It seems harder and harder to find games in the wild around me (except for like 25 copies of Combat or some other VERY common game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbins1940 Posted May 13, 2002 Share Posted May 13, 2002 Big zero for me. Didn't find a thing Atari wise. All i did find was a Sega Mega Drive for £10 I passed it up. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pitfallaimee Posted May 13, 2002 Share Posted May 13, 2002 I found a big stack of games (mostly commons) for $2. There were a lot I didn't have, though, and I finally managed to get a copy of Mr. Do!. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassidy Nolen Posted May 13, 2002 Share Posted May 13, 2002 Found a boxed 2600Jr. and 8 late 80's games for 19.19. Had all the manuals and looks great. Also found 3 sets of paddles for 3 bucks. Cleaned them up and they work great. Not bad all in all. Cassidy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lonesome_pa Posted May 13, 2002 Author Share Posted May 13, 2002 I'm glad to hear that the "dry spell" of games is not only around me. But, I do wonder why. I remember not that long ago going into my local thrift store and seeing a load of games in the bin, now I'm lucky to find just one game (assuming again that it's not the Combat or Pac-Man game). My best guess is that people are realizing that games are popular again and instead of donating them, they jump on the band-wagon and try to sell them on eBay. I'm going to Florida next week with my wife and son to see her mother. She said there are quite a few flea and thrift stores there, so maybe my luck will change.

Ridenmy65 Posted May 13, 2002 Share Posted May 13, 2002 no 2600 stuff. but I did find a colecovision Mr. Do!s Castle and Root Beer Tapper for a buck each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+-^CrossBow^- Posted May 13, 2002 Share Posted May 13, 2002 Ridenmy65: Hehe...we both had some Bira Bira shining on us... I too found a CV Mr. Do's Castle...I paid 3 bucks for mine though. Still that game is up there on the rarity for the CV and to find them for what we did is a good buy. Good version to boot...so I am happy.
