Hey Folks,

I went to the local Goodwill on Lunchbreak and I only found a measly dogbone, not that I had one, but sheesh.

So later on that night I'm at home working out some bills when my brother walks in with a bag full of crap his friend was selling. Here's what I got:

- an N64 w/ no hookups
- 2 N64 standard controllers

5 N64 games including
-Bio Freaks
-Paperboy
-DK 64
Zelda OoT
-Castlevania

-1 NES Ninja Gaiden
- 1 NES SMB/DuckHunt

-1 PSX Fear Effect

-1 Super NES w/ no hookups (ok, theres an AC adapter, but it has tape on it where the cord is bent apparently to make a good connection, so maybe it doesn't work)
-One SNES Controller w/ turbo/slomo, a Blockbuster Video model

12 SNES games including:
-Super Metroid
-SMB ALl STars
-StarFox
-SMB RPG Legend of the Seven STars
-Super Black Bass
-Stunt Race FX
-Wheel of Fortune Deluxe Edition
-NBA Hang TIme
-Strret Fighter II
-Jeopardy!
-Super Play Action Football
-Family Feud

1 N64/SNES/PSX/Something (maybe another model PSX) Composite/AV/SViideo cable---maybe from Mpnster Cable, but maybe Wal-Mart, who knows--cool clear cable though.

And the whole thing was sold for.........$40

Yay!

Correction:

The PSX game was Fear Effect 2, not 1.

Also, in the case of FE2, there was also a DC NFL 2k1 and an NFL Gameday 2000 for PSX.

Not bad!

As far as rare and valuable titles go, you didn't do so hot... but in terms of quality games, you hit a gold mine. Castlevania and Ocarnia of Time are both ****1/2 titles, Super Metroid is the best 2D platform/shooter ever, and most of the SNES games clear ****. Nice haul.

Yeah, nothing rare, but only 6 titles I already had...just gave em to my bro who is not a huge collector, but doesn't throw stuff out when it crosses his path :-)


Of course, I already had an N64 and SNES too, and so does he, so I have no clue what to do with them...maybe I can sell them , but does anyone have any more creative uses for them? FOr example, I have an NES I eventually plan to turn in to a Dev system, but I dunno...
