my best VV find to date

[skeptix]

I don't post here very often, nor is my collection very large, but I'm a bit psyched about my VV find today. Nothing incredibly rare, but as it's very hard to find games in the wild here, I'm happy with it.

 

I had gone to VV 4 days ago and they had Space Invaders and Stampede, both for $2. I could have picked up Stampede, as I don't have it, but decided to pass. I went back today and there were 4 more games (all Parker Brothers) along with some commodore 64 games. Each game was $2, but I already had Frogger, so I passed on that. I picked up:

 

Rarity 2 : Stampede (not PB of course, but I figured I'd pick it up this time), Q*Bert, Popeye

 

Rarity 4 : Gyruss

 

I decided to pass on the commodore 64 stuff.

Reminds me of the time I went into goodwill and saw 3 Parker Brothers carts with instructions: Popeye, Q*Bert, and Tutankham. I thought, "Well, I already have the games but these are cheap and I get the instructions."

 

Got them home, took them out of their little plastic baggies and thought, "Hmm, these are strange. They're shaped differently from the games I have."

 

Turns out I had bought Colecovision games! Next thought: "Guess I'd better get a Colecovision!".
