Weekend Finds 10/02 - 10/03

[Goodwill Hunter]

I also picked up a VHS Movie call Arcade. Anyone know anything about it I had never heard of it?

If it's the one with the chrome skull on it, it's one of the worst movies ever made. Very early use of computer graphics, and as near as I can tell, someone was able to render a chrome skull, and said, "Hey, this would be cool in a movie!" And five minutes later, the script was finished. If you spend time watching it, you will feel chronologically raped at the end.

Enjoy!

[AFGiant]

Ok, here's my rundown.
Garage sale listed vdeogames, as well as other stuff I was interested in. When I got there, I saw a box of computer games. Half way decent stuff, but I didn't feel like buying any of it. Got to the main table. Small stack of SNES ranging from $1-3 each, complete boxed DC with 1 controller for $20, boxed GBC for $25, some boxed GBA games for $10 each. Oh, and some kind of action replay for 5. Don't really know.

Well, I ended up buying SNES Earthworm Jim and its manual for $3, and I got a complete boxed Golden Sun: The Lost Age for $7. Well, on my way home, I looked in the box to see that it was actually just plain old Golden Sun in the box
I took it back and the lady refunded my money, and she had just put out a box of old comic books. I went through those and got 8 for $1 :P

The thing is, though, is that she said there was a bunch more videogame stuff in the back, but her sons hadn't gone through it and she couldn't sell it. She proceeded to point to 4 or 5 LARGE boxes Even by asking a little more, she wouldn't budge Oh well. She said come back next year

I could see in the top of the boxes...there was some good stuff in there...

[jerkov]

Hit up a few EB's to take advantage of the last day of the "buy one, get one free sale." Sadly, mostly common stuff, but I bought a few games that I wanted. I spent about $18 on this stuff:

Double Dragon (NES) w/ manual
James Bond Jr. (NES) loose
Warrior of Rome (Genesis) boxed
Super Punch Out (SNES) boxed
Super Ghouls N Ghosts (SNES) complete
Sid Meier's Civilization (SNES) complete

I also picked up Type O Negative's October Rust for 5.99 out of their used CD section.

The vast majority of SNES, NES, and Genesis games are 5.99 and less, but I notice that there are still a few titles that EB refuses to discount. Kid Icarus is still $15 or $20, and one EB had a nice, boxed Breath of Fire 2 behind the counter, but they were charging $30 for it. It would've been a nice pick up for 5.99 combined with the sale.....

[whoisKeel]

lifeforce (nes, loose) $3
super punch-out (loose,snes) $5
rocket knight adventures (complete, gen) $4

last weekend
gradius III and zombies ate my neighbors (both loose, snes $3 a piece)

commons, i know, but excellent games
