Asaki Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 NEVER shove dirty carts of unknown origin into any of your systems. There's a euphemism in there somewhere... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manoau2002 Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 I have around 550 nes games but I don't have either of those. I never find NES games at the thrift store. Finding those two were a complete shock. Especially in the condition they are in. The labels are in amazing shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+FujiSkunk Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Keep your eyes peeled. When I found one of the NES Bible games at a thirft store, it even had its blue cardboard sleeve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seob Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Today i scored the holygrail in cd-i gaming. Wasn't very cheap but priced decent for a shop score at 65 euro. The game in question: solar crusade. The last official cd-i game released. Came 3 years after Philips dropped support for the cd-i. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatPix Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Isn't the last CD-i game a Smurf game? Or maybe that's the last sold in some countries... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seob Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Isn't the last CD-i game a Smurf game? Or maybe that's the last sold in some countries... No Smurf was released in 1998 in France only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prodos8 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 My daughter found this NES-101 top loader w/dogbone controller at an antique store for $40. Not a smokin' hot deal but she called me and I told her to get it for me. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grig Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Sounds like you need to book a charter flight to Saskatchewan See Brent in Dog River, he may have some extra NES games among his comic books and his mom's empty tree player. You may even get a rookie Darryl Sittler card thrown in. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been hoping to see you online again to thank you for encouraging me to do some controller mods. We had a PM conversation a few years ago, and I found some of your hand drawn schematics for the 7800 on the boards. Don't be a stranger!

walter_J64bit Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Did you thoroughly clean them first? NEVER shove dirty carts of unknown origin into any of your systems. I did, the carts started to work after I took my nes cart cleaner to them and I thoroughly clean previous owners name off too, that way he won't come looking for them!

video game addict Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Here are a few recent finds, besides for a few GameCube and PS2 games, I've picked up loads of records, but few actual games. I've seen a fair share, but I don't always buy what I see.. Picked up these gameboy games today, now I need to get a super gameboy so I can play them.. And a few laser disc movies last week, but I don't currently have a working LD player. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess Ragan Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Got two pretty sweet finds today... a copy of Mario Kart Super Circuit for fifty cents (!!!) and a surprisingly handy Logitech USB headset. It took a long time for the drivers on the headset to install but there's a lot I like about it. There are buttons on the right earpiece that let me adjust volume on the fly and switch on and off the microphone. I'm not sure what system this was designed for, but it works just dandy with my laptop! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asaki Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 My daughter found this NES-101 top loader w/dogbone controller at an antique store for $40. Not a smokin' hot deal but she called me and I told her to get it for me. I don't know what prices are like today, but when I bought my toploader off eBay, $60 was a great deal. Third party AC adapter, no dogbone controllers, and the price was lower than others because it had RCA jacks coming out the side from the old video mod (which I upgraded to kill the "jailbars"). A few years later, I found two of the controllers at a yard sale, no price on them, the lady let me have them both for $1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+FujiSkunk Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Only one of the albums came from a thrift store, but I still thought this would make for a neat picture. These are vinyl records of the last two comedy albums to reach #1 on the Billboard Top 200. 51 years separates them. As for video games, today I found this. One whole dollar. Plus tax, of course. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybercylon Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Have some of the Goodwills stopped selling games in store completely now? Our local one doesn't even have a section anymore... not even old sports titles. No old PC games and DVD movies either. Just CDs and old video tapes. My guess is that it all goes to the auction site.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is that it all goes to the auction site.... Yep... see my previous rant below. This seems to be pretty widespread practice. I recently found out that my local goodwill has an agreement with "Abebooks.com". Basically, Abebooks installs a scanner in the back of goodwill and when new media (video games, books, movies, music, etc.) comes in, the goodwill employees scan each item. There is an indicator that tells the employee to put it on the Abebooks shelf or the standard goodwill shelf. Obviously, they are filtering out the items of value. Then Abebooks periodically brings a truck to pick up all the abebooks item, which they then sell online and give goodwill a percentage of the profit. ...

DestinedCruz Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Picked up an in-box Retro Duo Portable 2.0 with the NES adapter and controllers for $12 at the same pawn shop I found the CDX at. My luck has to run out soon >___________> Also got an audiophile PSX for $5 and that came with a free neGcon :0 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess Ragan Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 You know if the NegCons or JogCons will work properly on a PC with an adapter? I've been dying for a dial controller- to the point where I've attempted to make my own, with mixed results- and it seems like the JogCon or an equivalent might do the trick.

Some guy actually hooked up his neGcon through the appropriate adapter chain to play PS4 (PS3?) racers.

Omega-TI Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 After seeing all the good deals you guys have found, I decided to walk into a thrift store and this is what I found for $2.00. Now it'll only play on my older XP machine, but I still think it was a good deal. THE DISK THE COVER IMAGE THE BACK 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
