May 2008 Finds

[InsaneDavid]

The other day I purchased a TG-16 game locally to use as a test cartridge on the TurboDuo. Looking on eBay I had an impulse buy for another TG-16 game.
Final Lap Twin (C - $7)
Galaga '90 (C - $18 shipped)

I'm leaning towards not caring about boxes and just getting jewel case + manual and cartridge/CD for Turbo games.

It was fine for the Japanese, it should be fine for us too. I'm the same way with TG-16 games, if it has the jewel case and booklet I consider it complete. With the box I call it boxed complete (Cosmic Fantasy 2 for example). Nice pickup on Final Lap Twin, my favorite version of my favorite racing series (I include Pole Position and Pole Position II as part of it as well).

[Vroomfunkel]

Today I received in the post ...

Batman Forever for the PAL Megadrive.

No big deal, right? Wrong!!! :smash:

This is a limited edition collectors box set that neither I nor any other Megadrive collector I know has seen before. As box sets go, it's pretty dull - just an oversized outer box, with a massive poster and four postcards inside. However, as rare Megadrive goodies go, it's a bit of a landmark acquisition for me 8-)

I guess we won't get to see it either since you didn't post a picture

Patience, my friend .. I've not even got it home yet, I posted from work. There will be pics ... I'll probably hang on a couple of days and post the pics along with ones of the Chinese Megadrive game that I am expecting to arrive in a few days - which should also be interesting .. an unlicensed Chinese MD game, coming to me from Hong Kong - and it's complete with manual. Unheard of! LOL

[Nitrosport]

I got the following for 5 bucks today:

Sorry about the shadow in the pic.

[Kitsune Sniper]

I got:

Duke Nukem Atomic Edition (PC, jewel case) - $3
Infocom Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Invisiclues booklet - BRAND NEW - $1
Adobe Pagemaker 6.5 Plus (Mac, CIB, for the store) - $3

[RadiantSvgun]

Fedex dropped off Guitar Hero II complete bundle just now. $14.50+ shipping off ebay. Total cost: $30.20

Pretty good deal since Gamestop charges $34 for the game alone. I really wanted the extra controller for rock band, but this deal was cheaper then the guitar alone. I guess some people don't know how to properly list on ebay. :D

[Cornelius]

Few things lately:
At a garage sale picked up Power Golf and Vigilante for the TG16, both boxed and $1 each.

fat PS2 for 25, but DRE. Hopefully just needs a cleaning, otherwise I might be able to return it.

Sold a fat PS2 to a woman with a broken slim, which she gave me. It has a melted laser lens.

King's Quest 1 on 5.25, appears complete.

Joystick NES controller and good grape N64 controller

$15 NES at goodwill. 2 controllers, but no cords.

[Vroomfunkel]

OK, so here's the pic of the Batman Forever box set

http://img185.imageshack.us/img185/38/dscf2331li6.th.jpg (http://img185.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dscf2331li6.jpg)

Wish they had been a bit more creative about what to put in it - I mean really, a poster and some postcards. Hardly gonna have people queueing round the block, is it?

Still a nice set to have though!

[thetoxicone]

OK, so here's the pic of the Batman Forever box set


Thanks for the pic.

[calgon]

Another copy of Mega Man III - 2.99, I've seen more of these lately than ever. Kind of weird actually. Oh well, trade bait.

[namzep]

A few packages came in today:

What's the third cart?

[Kitsune Sniper]

What's the third cart?

That's an official SNES cleaning kit.

[Nitrosport]

It's just a snes cleaning cart. It opens up and there are more cleaning accessories in it.

Good to know, guessed you'd know something about it. I found it strange there was no Keith Courage games around, but happy with Final Lap Twin. Looked promissing and from the online videos and discriptions, just can't wait to get some power cable. I really don't want to but I may have to resort to a variable adaptor from the Shack. Hope you're enjoying Worm War I.

Yeah, Final Lap Twin is a great console-spec port of the series and the RPG-like Quest Mode is something totally different than any game before or since. Sure it's not the most amazing racing game out there but it plays smooth and fast. I've been having fun with Worm War I, the smooth graphics really have impressed me.

Got some Famicom Disk System games in the mail today from DP member ckendal, all in incredible shape.

Exciting Baseball (loose)
Famicom Grand Prix F1 Race (case, cover art)
Golf Japan Course (sleeve, case)
Golf US Course (sleeve, case, manual)
Nazo no Murasamejou (sleeve, case)
Volleyball (complete, with Soccer on Side B)

http://www.classicplastic.net/digitalpress/finds/DP-Finds-2008-05-07(01).jpg

$33.00 shipped, been playing Nazo no Murasamejou since it arrived. Seems to be a Famicom Disk System renaissance going on at the boards lately. :)

[TheDomesticInstitution]

Found Republic Commando for XBOX on a Target endcap for 9.98... And picked up a 2nd copy of Crimson Skies for XBOX so I could link the 2 XBOXs in the house to one another for competitive play.

[Smashed Brother]

I stopped into this random 'junk' store in downtown Manitowoc while shopping with the misses... turns out that this guy has quite the lockdown on classic and retro titles anywhere outside of Green Bay or Milwaukee! While I was here, I picked up:

Herc's Adventures CIB(Sat) $8
Panic! CIB (SCD) $8
Mohawk & Headphone Jack (SNES) $6
Sunset Riders (SNES) $5

He also had Return Fire (PS1) for only $4! But, when I began molesting the case, the labeling was coming off and there were no instructions :(. That explains why it was so cheap...

He also had a couple of Final Fantasy 7's laying around... for the low price of $60. A CIB TurboGrafx... for $70. An NES toploader, with dogbone controllers (not sure of price)... a sealed version of Romance of the 3 Kingdoms IV (Sat).

I also saw an import 16-in-1 Game Gear cartridge... anyone know what this is about?

[coreys429]

Today's Finds: Charlton Heston reads the book of Moses $.50
http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p42/coreys429/IMG_2936.jpg

I don't mind no pictures when the finds are pretty common and don't usually take them of my normal finds but he specifically said that it was something that no one he knows of had seen and I found that kinda funny.

Picked up yesterday:

Street Fighter Anniversary Collection (xbox, new) - $7.99
Stunt Race Fx - $3

[Vroomfunkel]

If I were some johnny-come lately who signed up yesterday, I would understand this .. but given that I'm probably among the longest standing members of Digital Press, I would hope not to be suspected of baseless idle brags. Especially in relation to PAL MD / MCD / 32X matters, which I probably know more about than pretty much anyone here (with possible exceptions of anagrama and Cauterize).

Hopefully I didn't come off this way since I meant it as a joke anyway.

[Atarian75]

Picked up a few PS1 and Saturn games yesterday.

PS1
Fear Effect (complete) $2
Fear Effect 2 (complete) $2
Road Rash Jailbreak (complete) $1.50
Xena (complete) $1.50
one of the Spec Ops games (complete) $1.50

Saturn
Bases Loaded '96 (complete) $3.99 kinda pricey but I needed it
Nights w/ controller (complete) $5 kinda rough box

Joke aside, I always like the posters who put the extra effort into providing pictures. It's not that I don't believe people who don't post pictures, I've just gotten bored of reading walls of text finds. I generally skip all finds posts that don't have pictures to compliment the words.

[Kevin H]

This past weekend I got.
4 copies of Viewtiful Joe new a dollar each
HD player for 360. 25 bucks. *extra player for me*

[carlcarlson]

And as the common quote in the forums if you dont have a picture it didnt happen type thing. Final Fantasy Three for SNES $1 complete.


Not to rain on the parade, but you're missing some maps/charts. Still a great find though.

It rains on the northwest....Nah its ok..Almost complete still not bad for $1.

[mailman187666]

This past weekend I got.
4 copies of Viewtiful Joe new a dollar each
HD player for 360. 25 bucks. *extra player for me*

I picked up 3 brand new copies of Viewtiful Joe also for $1 at the Big K-mart near my work. So far I've picked these games up for $1 there

Viewtiful Joe- PS2 (x3)
Taito Legends- Xbox (x2)
Sprung- DS (x1)

6 for $6 is pretty good to me for almost any new game.

EDIT: forgot to mention I also got (from K-mart)

Contact- DS $9.97
Dungeon Seige- PSP (x2) $9.97

for those whole like Baldur's Gate, I believe you will think highly of Dungeon Siege. I like it a lot and its fun 2 player. Buy 2 copies if you have to so you can play it with a friend who has PSP (I bought 2 Metal Slug anthologies for that reason).

[crackdealer clawx]

Comix Zone - 2.99
Ecco The Tides of Time - 2.99
Sylvester and Tweety in Cagey Capers - 2.99

Agreed. I just go from picture to picture. Who wants to read somebody's boring list of items they just picked up. Pictures people, pictures!

$60, all complete and in good shape. Ikaruga is the reason I bought this lot. I downloaded the demo off of Live and was pretty blown away. The last shooter I played was Galaxian, so this is quite the step up. The best part is, after I sell Animal Crossing (already have it), Tetris Worlds (don't want it), and the system I'll have gotten Metroid Prime, PSO, and Ikaruga for free.

[Cornelius]

Pretty lame day of garage sales. 2.50 spent on me (pic below), ~6 bucks spent on my 19mo.
http://home.comcast.net/~evanwink/images/games/Finds/finds84.jpg
unfortunately the x-wing has a wing broken that falls off, and the other side has the wings glued together. Not to mention the missing thruster piece. Oh, well, it was a buck.

[jeffg]

I finally got a Cocktail table today off Craigslist for $200, It is Star Warrior and from what I read on KLOV, it must be incredible rare as they had no records of pictures, no one on the site had one.

I just wanted a cocktail and this is in nice shape for being from 1981 and it is a Galaga rip-off, which I love Galaga

Here are some pics

My finds for the week - and in the middle was today's purchase: Leisure Suit Larry 3rd Edition for $1.

[DigitalSpace]

One of these days, I'll get a digital camera. Until then, enjoy my "boring lists."

Anyways, I bought some NES games from another DP'er, and they arrived in the mail yesterday:

Big Nose the Caveman (w/cart sleeve)
Captain Comic: The Adventure (w/cart sleeve, blue cart)
Double Strike (w/cart sleeve, R5)
Master Chu and the Drunkard Hu (w/cart sleeve, blue cart)
Quattro Adventure (w/cart sleeve)
Starship Hector (w/cart sleeve and manual)

This puts me at 220 NES games. Double Strike is my first AVE cart, and Captain Comic and Master Chu are my first Color Dreams carts.

[thepiratemonk3y]

I'm so jealous of all of your finds. I've been searching now for over two years and haven't managed to find ANYTHING worth picking up. I don't know how you do it. I'm gonna chalk up my bad luck to everyone in my area being spoiled and just throwing everything out when a new console appears. Kudos to all of you.

[Rogmeister]

On my birthday (May 7), I got two games...interestingly, I bought both myself but neither really cost me any money. Both are PS2 games...

Black I got with a Wal-Mart gift card my dad incl;uded in a Christmas card.
MLB Power Pros I bought with a gift certificate to Amazon.com...I receive those in my reward program for having an Amazon Visa... :D

Any particular reason you bought Area 88 instead of UN Squadron? Something extra maybe?

And dammit, I really need to track down that Yohko game :(

Nothing to do with the game...I just collect SFC over SNES unless its an RPG. I like the box art better :D

Found Earthbound at the Thrift store today, $2.50. It has some label damage, but hey, it's Earthbound!

A few years ago I sold one in that condition, loose just like that, for $74.00. LOL

Man.. you people must have some serious thriftstore/garage sales around where you live.

Best I've ever managed was some old, bad Sega Saturn sports games.

I'm sure there is stuff around you just have to look for it, unless you live in a small town

And, for my next trick, I present to you ... a Chinese unlicensed Megadrive game - WITH an instruction manual!

[fairyland]

I managed to get a lot of systems and games today at the garage sales, which I'll try to post and brag about later sometime, but I got one game that I wanted to ask about right away. It's a SNES demo cart of Contra III. I assume it's a store demo correct? I'm wondering how much they usually go for? I don't see any on ebay to give me a good idea of how well I done. I paid $10 for it in a SNES collection with about 10 games and I know I at least made my money back with the system and Super Mario cart. Thanks!

[coreys429]

Today's Finds so far: Typing with a power glove is annoying...maybe that's why its so bad! $6, Excitebike and Skate or Die for NES $2 each, and Aces of the Air for PS1 $2

You must not go to many Garage sales or Thrift stores? I do it almost daily, granted, earthbound doesn't show up very often.

There's actually a very nice Genesis lot at the same Thrift store, it's avalible through one of their silent auctions. There's no bids as of yet and it ends Monday. A complete Genesis system with I think I counted 33 games, all complete, some excellent titles in there as well. I'll be there Monday to put a bid in.

Thrift stores, yes. Garage sales? Not as many as I'd like, but I do.

It might have something to do with this being a college town. Probably at least 50% of the town's population is between the ages of 18-25. I bet they get gobbled up before I can catch them. :(

And more or less I mean the decent finds. I can find old NES games that are selling on ebay for 99 cents, but never anything worth while. Ocassionally I will come across an Atari lot though.

[Vectorman0]

Vectorman0: Some PS1 guns won't work on slim PS2 systems - especially the ones that are non-Guncon based (like Konami's gun). :(

Thanks for the heads up. Maybe that was the problem with the ones that didn't work.

My 1st find in the wild in over a year:

3 Intelly games I don't have for a buck each:

http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/8890/picture177sk8.jpg

Swords and Serpents was also the very first game I ever bought at a Thrift Store, waaay back in mid 1998. It was .75

Also bought Boktai 2 (GBA) and Neo Contra (PS2) for $10 each at ShopKo yesterday.

The Contra cart is a demo and worth slightly more than a standard loose one. The price is probably around $30-50 shipped; all according to how crazy Ebay is that day.

Yeah, those are keepers. It might be hard to deal with, but translation patches could help you through those games, especially gems like Tactics Ogre and the Shin Megami Tensei titles.

[thetoxicone]

Yesterday picked up Graffiti Kingdom for ps2 for $10, hopefully will have something more interesting to list later on today.

[Ryaan1234]

There weren't very many garage sales today, but that didn't stop me from finding some stuff! :)

http://ryaan1234.googlepages.com/IMG_0193.jpg
TI-82 calculator - $3
Edgar Allen Poe book - $0.25
Age of Empires II and expansion - $0.25
MGS: Twin Snakes - $3
The 2001: Space Odyssey soundtrack and 2-disc movie theme soundtrack were $0.50 each
The cool old Godzilla vs. Megalon VHS was $0.25
I bought the guides (Killer Instinct, Earthworm Jim, & Boogerman) in the next lot, which includes the next 2 pictures.

http://ryaan1234.googlepages.com/IMG_0195.jpg
http://ryaan1234.googlepages.com/IMG_0196.jpg
Yeah, I got all of the Genesis, 32x, and SNES games, along with the guides and the 4 systems for $30 :D

Umm...they all have the original boxes, it's just that they're in pretty rough shape. All of the system boxes have some bad water damage, it's amazing that the original inserts and all the stuff in the boxes are in good shape. The Sega CD looks like it was maybe used once. I believe the actual boxes for the game systems were stored seperate and they got wet, that's the only explanation that I can think of as to why the systems and manuals are fine and the games have no water damage, while the system boxes are in bad shape. They were all found in a single big box with water staining on it, so I dunno.

$30? were you waving a gun around in their face while negotiating? Or were they drinking? :drinking: Nice job either way.

[Nitrosport]

I got these today:

All the games were $2 each. The genesis was $1 and final fantasy guide was free. As for the genesis and sega cd, I won it from some guy in an intense heads or tails competition at the flea market LOL. He threw in genesis 6 pack for free aswell.

Guitar Hero II xplorer guitar for 360- $5.00 at pawn.

Covered with stickers, but still a good deal. Not picture-worthy though. Smells like attic and cigarettes, I'll scrub it out later.

Hit the flea market today. First booth I went to had Soul Calibur and Lodos War for Dreamcast but I passed because the guy wouldn't go lower than $8 each. Snagged these for $5 and $1 at some other booths though. As you can see, I was overwhelmed with excitement at my finds:

When I pulled into the flea this morning, I parked behind a car that had a "NNTENDO" license plate and a beat-up DP Collector's Guide & sealed Aquarius Night Stalker in the back seat. No wonder why I can't find anything good around here any more!

I got Alex Kidd in Miracle World, Solstice for the NES, and Mario Paint for the SNES for $10.

Found a copy of Silent Hill PSX at Goodwill today... talked em down to $2.

I guess it's my first real find (looking at ebay prices), woot!

Discs are in awesome condition, no scratches, just a few smudges. I'm too scared to wipe em off though, EVERY damn time I do that, I end up scratching it :O

wait, you haggled at goodwill? And on something you were getting a steal on in the first place? I dunno, I'm all for getting a good deal, but I guess even I have my limits. I'm not saying its like killing a kitten or kicking a puppy, don't get me wrong, just seems a little... off somehow.

Didn't know you could haggle at Goodwill. I just left there, and I sure as heck would have tried. I found a disc only Marvel vs Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes for ps1 for $3.25, but it is scratched to hell. I bought it anyway on the off-chance it might work. Does Blockbuster do disc resurfacing?

I'm not sure but I would like to know aswell. Neither one of those Sega cd games are working :frustrated:

I don't know about blockbusters, but the Game Crazys around here resurface. I think the guy that has done mine is too shy about it, though, because it hasn't worked with any of the games I've brought him.
