So... whatcha get?

[icbrkr]

I've walked out of the main floor with at least 6 large bags of stuff. Some great deals even - what did you end up with and what was your 'great find' of the show?

I've picked up:

- Interton VC 4000
- Super Cassettevision (and game)
- Congo Bongo and Worm Whomper for the INTV
- Motor Psycho and Water Ski for the 7800
- Electronic Table Soccer for the O2 as well as Atlantis
- Fire and Ice, Battletoads, Chuck Rock, Tootal Carnage, Power Pinball and John Barnes European Football for the CD32
- Golden Axe/Rambo 3 for the SMS
- Super Implode for the PCE, Crash Dive for the 2600
- Panzer Dragoon for the Saturn
- a whole freakin' mess of Vic 20 and Famicon carts ($1 ea!)
- Mr Do's Castle for the 5200 and Decathlon
- Some Channel F carts
- Various T Shirts.

My find of the show so far was the stack of CD32 games for $1 ea, Congo Bongo for the INTV for $36, and I *won* a C128D at the Commodore Expo for $20 worth of raffle tickets.

[98PaceCar]

Where the hell did you guys find CD32 games? I never saw any, anywhere.


They were on the side of the Good Deal Games table first thing Sat morning. I found them first and took all of them minus the dupes. Told Icebrkr about them and he took the rest. Between us, we got them all. Good deal too, a buck a piece and most of them were still sealed.
