2003 Q1 Update: What is your "Find of the Year"?

[digitalpress]

So here we go into the springtime, where many of us begin finding the really good stuff in the wild. But perhaps you've had a very good WINTER. Share with us here your greatest acquisition of the year (from Jan 01 2003 to present), whether it was purchased, traded, or discovered.

ohh good one :)

hmmm.... Gitaroo man for $20 was nice... Sealed Rez w/vibrator for $70 was good. Puzzle fighter for $30 was nice (which EVERYONE got).

I can't really think of ONE really great find though, Take your pick from those three I guess ;)

Well, my greatest 'find' in the wild is surely the Chase the Chuck Wagon I got for a mere 90 cents (loose).

My most appreciated acquisition would be all 3 San Fransisco Rush games for the N64 that I acquired just yesterday, all complete and Minty fresh. These are my favorite racing games ever, and these games along with alot of other racers on the N64 have brought me to the conclusion that the N64 is the greatest platform for racing games.
