Bruce Tomlin Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 I was cleaning up a closet full of my old junk this past weekend and found a video game magazine I bought back in 1983. (That makes two, what with one I bought back in 1982.) Videogaming and Computer Illustrated July 1983, and it's got a picture of the original Colecovision design on the cover, with gray plastic for the faceplate, and spinners on the controllers. Now I need to scan it. I also found four empty DS game cases at the Goodwill salvage yesterday, one with everything but the cartridge of Yoshi's Island DS, and a Game Boy NBA Jam box with NHL '95 instructions and registration card inside it. (I use empty Game Boy boxes to store loose GB instructions in.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gulag picture radio Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 Weird - there were whole mess of Game Boy Color games at one of my haunts. I have a flash cart, so I passed (at least until half price day!). The same place had a Game Cube Wario game (not the microgames collection, something else) for $2.50. I've found a handful of GC cases that never had anything inside, so this is my first GC score. My girlfriend just bought a used Game Cube as a Christmas present for $40 at GameStop. I'll bet that in a few months, they'll blow out Game Cubes for $15 like they did Dreamcasts. Then I'll pick up a couple to monkey with Linux and modding and all that!

MFoolsRun Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 I still don't have a copy of Zelda: Link's Awakening. I'd love to find a Gameboy cache like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MFoolsRun Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 My mother-in-law runs an eBay business that she fuels by buying foreclosed storage units which, every once in a while, have games in them which she never makes me pay for. When we were there for Christmas this morning, I got to dig through her stock a bit and came up with the following: 2 sets of 2600 paddles, no idea if they work yet, but they're pretty simple to fix if they don't 1 Grey NES Zapper 1 Orange NES Zapper (no idea if either one works yet) 1 NES controller Super Mario Bros 2 for NES Rampage for NES Super Empire Strikes Back for SNES and the best possible score ever: My very first N64. No games, controllers or expansion pack, but it was FREE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike 01Hawk Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 It's trash day today... so as we were leaving to go do some errands something catches my eye over at my neighbors... turns out it was a 13 inch DVD/TV Combo woot!!! Like this: http://www.amazon.com/Toshiba-MD13Q41-13-D...o/dp/B0007RB1UY I figured might as well snag it and test it out... come to find out the thing is friggen MINT... PLUS they were idiots and forgot to check the DVD tray... scored Eurotrip as well Now... do I return Eurotrip to them? Do I just drop off at the local Salvation Army that is less than a mile away, or do I craigslist it for an easy $50-75.... hmmmm decisions. I just don't understand my neighborhood, they throw away SOOOO much stuff that could easily be given to the local thrift joints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HayakawaKen Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 I hadn't gone out to the flea markets in a while, so I decided to hit them today. Not much was found that I didn't have already in my NES collection, but I finally did come home with Rescue Rangers and Ducktales for $4 a piece. One place had import copies of Macross for PS2, which I considered till I saw the $40 price tag, and a copy of Giant Gram for DC for $15, which I own already. Overall it was a pretty average day for going out for roughly 3-4 hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

genesisguy Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 I found an original NES, just the console, at a local thrift store last weekend for $1.75. It said as is, and sure enough didn't work. I replaced the 72 pin connector and it works now. The only problem is it's lacking the flip cover for the cartridge entry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickHarrisMaine Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Found this new and sealed at Target today Soul Reaver 2 for the PS2, $1.86 Don't know if its a good game or not, but it seemed a good deal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MFoolsRun Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Found this new and sealed at Target today Soul Reaver 2 for the PS2, $1.86 Don't know if its a good game or not, but it seemed a good deal? An old roommate of mine swore by the Soul Reaver series. He told me a little about the story, and I watched him play some of one of them; I could see really getting into it. I like how the series has two distinct paths, Kain and Raziel, and how playing a game featuring one might mean you're working against the other character.

MFoolsRun Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Not a bad day, finally: 1 Boxed Genesis 2 (no AV cable, but I have plenty of those, in its place there were four controllers, two with the white Genesis 2 paint, two with the red Genesis 1 paint) 1 Boxed Genesis Arcade Stick. Inside the box for the Arcade Stick, along with the stick itself, were a Master System controller and Phaser. I have no need for the Master System stuff, I don't have an SMS, does anyone want them?
