Cool find on the Frogger ! Let me know if you're interested in trading or selling it (my e-mail is arc@lvcm.com, my trade page is http://users.lvcm.com/arc)

I didn't find too much today - a few C64 and Atari computer carts. One of the Atari computer carts is light blue without any label. I don't have an Atari computer right now - any one have an idea of what it is?

I have a question, notice the mattel football cartridge, it has a white label with black letters, instead of the normal black label w/blue letters that mattel 2600 games normally have. Is this just a variation or is it supposed to be this way? Please help thanks!

You'll notice the 2600 Star Raiders complete I got today. Woohoo, its very nice too, only thing is, its missing the comic book :( , other than that its top notch condition. The Imagic game is Fathom.

My game suppliers ran out of some item or other, so they let me have two pretty nondescript original MSX (i.e. 1985) titles AND

Gargoyle's Quest 2, Japanese Version (c. 1992--was there a reprint? That sounds late to me, but then again it doesn't seem to be)

in place of that. Basically, I got Gargoyle's Quest, complete with a perfect cartridge and manual, for $10.

Not a bad catch.

Do you mean Yu-Gi-Oh? Don't kill me if you hate that game and I don't know of Gekioh, but that's what it sounds like.

Gekioh is a new PSX budget title, it's a shmup.

I braved the rain this morning to see if there were any yard sales still being held. Picked up:

Boxed NES Action Set $8
N64 steering wheel and pedals $5

@ Ed - Just played Gekioh a little bit. Pretty good...not as frantically paced as some of the shmups I've played lately, but a lot of fun. I acutually enjoyed having more firepower than my opponents for once!!!

I definitely recommend it, especially if you get it in the 2 for 1 sale at TRU.

Thanks man! Nothing quite like a stream of fire from your direction taking up a quarter of the screen to warm the spirit :)

Prisoner of War..(both Xbox)..and Turok Evolution for $10.00 each
Ps2 HAVEN... complete for $6.99...

I'll take some pictures of it soon..
It has a not for resale demo cart of Wario Land in it..

Then my wife went to the flea market again (today)..She picked my up a Wonder Wizard pong system for$5.00,.I boxed starting line-up talking baseball (big) tabletop electronic game,with an extra boxed cartridge($3.00)

I don't know if its super challenge football with an alternate label or not, because I don't have super challenge football.

I picked up SNES loose copy of Chrono Trigger for $4.99, an Atari 2600 6-switch for $1.49, a working original Atari 2600 joystick for .49, and a couple of loose NES games for a buck a piece. Haven't had a chance to check out the 2600 unit as it didn't have a power supply, but for $1.49, you can't go wrong!
