pimpmaul69 Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 I got it at a local Denver game store called Level 7 Games. I've known those guys awhile and they've always treated me right. I'll second that with Level 7 Games. They've got two locations, have always been very helpful to me. I'll go to them first for particular gaming needs before I hit the other independents in town. I have been meaning to check them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orangest Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Found this today for $2 at a thrift. I can't open most of the files at the moment (they're AI files but my Adobe isn't able to open them) but they're mostly promo art of characters and locations, including a black and white size reference chart of the main characters. I'm guessing the fax sheet was to send to Fox for clearances. It's nice having the whole theme song as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRGilbert Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Man, it's been a LONG time since I've posted in here. Not that I haven't been buying stuff, just not much that would qualify as "thrifty." Yesterday was a rare exception. We were at an antique/collectors mall and I found this in a case that had a bunch of sports cards and stuff in it. It was a plastic bag marked as "Rare Atari Manuals" and it was $18 after a 20% discount. It was a fat pack about 2-3 inches thick so I took a chance. I figured if nothing else, they could get bundled in with systems and games I need to sell. Boy am I glad I did. It turned out to be over 200 manuals and catalogs, no duplicates, and a number of them are pretty rare. Before this, out of the 300+ 2600 carts I had, I had about 150 manuals to go with them. With this lot, I was able to add an astounding 55 new manuals to my collection! Plus, there were a number of them for games I don't even have yet! I took a pic of just some of the more interesteing ones. Let the 2012 season begin! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asaki Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Found two Macintosh computer (a Plus and I forget what the other one was) the other day, pretty incomplete. The Plus came with a keyboard, a mouse, and a newer Microsoft PC mouse. The other one just came with a keyboard (missing a few keys). They wanted $300 each >_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reaperman Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Yikes, that is a gamble. Yeah, I'm not sure this is really going to work out for me. PS1 + 6 games $9 shipped. but... 3 feedback ebayer, unknown condition (functionality or completeness), no picture, no game list I could get some good stuff, or I could get a broken ps1 with 6 copies of yearly sports titles--or since there's only 3 feedback, I might not get anything sent to me at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbee99 Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I got a SNES console only with Mario All-Stars free. It was donated to a local thrift store and they didn't know what to do with it so I took it off their hands Still have not tried to fire it up. I think I still have an extra SNES PS.

the.golden.ax Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Man I can't recall the last time I saw a Coleco game in the wild. Great on the Sammy. I recently scored a CIB Sewer Sam for $8 on ePay. AX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recently scored a CIB Sewer Sam for $8 on ePay. AX Well the first store had all the "Atari" type games just tossed in a cardboard box sitting on the floor, I was amazed there was anything interesting. The second store, I had to ask if they had anything, they had to bring them out from the back room. I'm just glad they had them priced. Usually when a store doesn't price them, they make you wait while they look it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+FujiSkunk Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 (edited) January's scores were all about Nintendo, but here February is shining the spotlight on Sega: That's NBA Jam T.E., OutRun, Shanghai II: Dragon's Eye, Space Harrier II and Streets of Rage 2 for the Genesis, all boxed and most with the manual. I was pleasantly surprised to discover this haul filled a lot of holes in my collection. I was particularly happy to find OutRun which I have wanted for a while now, but never seemed able to find. Shockingly, I didn't yet own NBA Jam T.E. either. Even more shockingly, I'm going to keep it. The NBA Jam series was actually some of the more fun basketball games back in the day. $15 for everything here. Not a steal, but still a very agreeable price.

Coolhand20th Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Was given Sprint Master for free from the local Gaming Shop when I bought a SNES system complete for 20 bucks with T2 Arcade and NHL '94 with it. Time before that picked up Road Runner for the 2600 for a buck there, they sell all 2600, 5200, 7800 and Colecovision carts for a buck regardless of what game they are so sometimes you can get lucky there.

Head Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 (edited) I found a Genestick (Sega branded flight yoke) for $3.99, a GB Game and Watch Gallery 2 for $2.99 and a Speak and Spell with one of the elusive expansion modules inside for $4.99 at Goodwill. I also found a very nice complete PS1 hockey game in longbox for $3.99 but passed on that and some overpriced common NES and N64 games as well. Edited February 25, 2012 by Chuck D.
