Yeah, if it is in good shape and you decide that you don't want it let me know. I didn't have anything that interested you last time you checked my list, but maybe this time I will.

I actually bought it to watch it, not to sell or trade it. ;) I watch the show and translate it in my head at the same time. It's good practice.

Once I finish the set I'll probably trade it away. The box has some wear but the discs seem fine.

[TheDomesticInstitution]

Found a loose cart of Spider-Man/X-Men Arcade's Revenge for the Genesis. It was $3 and pretty dirty. At least it's an R4...

I am ASTOUNDED that your friends are willing to trade good PHYSICAL property for DIGITAL information, hacked digital information at that.

In all honesty, I'm very disappointed to see this kind of dealing. However, if your friends actually consent and feel that it's a fair trade, then congratulations on the find.

Might I ask the age group of these "friends?" If you're ripping off young kids, that's very uncool. :-/

their not young kids, 14 and 15 year olds, I would never rip off younger kids, alot of this stuf was gathering dust in my freinds houses including the final fantasy. I even told my freind what the final fantasy was worth

[darkslime]

EDIT: Nevermind.

[hellfire]

I traded him my whole peral for the game with the shinys on it for final fantasy, I traded shinys for my freinds junk.
the gameboys were not played in 2 years
my freind has 2 other gamecubes
and my freind was going to sell the game boy games anyways, personaly i dont think I ripped any of my freinds off, I do a lot for my freinds and they do a lot for me so It all evens out.

[Sudo]

You should've traded for a dictionary instead.

[namzep]

You should've traded for a dictionary instead.
I agree. I have no idea what the hell he's talking about and all his "shinys". Anyway, new stuff today:

[orangest]

picked up the japanese ps2 versions of taiko drum master and taiko no tatsujin: wai wai happy rokudaime at the goodwill today for $5.99 each.

Holy crap eskobar, I think the pokemon go for like 50 each on ebay. What's the story behind that?

[eskobar]

not so sure ... It seems that a big stash of games arrived at Durango from the US with dozens of pokemon and golden suns .... also they had brand new wiis at 150 usd :S

Everything flew immediately :S

[Sonicwolf]

Dragon Warrior and Spy Hunter for the NES for 8 bucks. Not too bad.

[DigitalSpace]

Regarding someone's post on the last page about photos, I'd post them, but I don't have a decent camera and don't really care about changing that.

Anyways, here's what I got at a Play N Trade this evening:

NES:
Balloon Fight (cart only)
Bucky O'Hare (cart only, R5)

Game Boy:

Send them to me! I'll sell them and we can go 50/50 on the profits. :p

[eskobar]

Thank you very much, Kitsune; but i already got a few ebay accounts. This is the one that i use for videogames :

[carlcarlson]

You should've traded for a dictionary instead.

Agreed. The first word you should look up is "gay". I'm not sure you know what it means.

[Atarileaf]

Lets see, this past week:

Atari 8-bit : Kids for Keys and Star Raiders $1 each
Atari 2600: Sears text label football - $1 and Star Wars Arcade (obtained in forum trade)
TG-16: Final Lap Twin CIB $7 and Davis Cup Tennis $4 loose

In that case could I get your home address so I can go steal the games uh I mean visit you? ;p

He absolutely needs to. But he might be busy being distracted by "shinys"

[jeffg]

Resident Evil Code Veronica
Resident Evil 2
Resident Evil 3 Nemesis

All for DC and all complete $3 each at Goodwill

Pawn shop here had 5 GC resident evil games for $6.50 but I didn't get them at first, didn't realize they were fetching pretty good money. Went back and they were gone.

[hellfire]

He absolutely needs to. But he might be busy being distracted by "shinys"

I traded my whole pokemon game, shinys are pokemon that are discolored and look different, such as a blue mew

[darkslime]

http://i39.tinypic.com/2ywwbd0.jpg

SEAR'S:
Lost Odyssey - $14.97
Datel Max Memory 64mb (PS2) - $4.97

GAMESTOP:
Shin Megami Tensei Digital Devil Saga in devil summoner case - $14.99
I went there to buy devil summoner cuz it said it was in stock in the store locator. The guy gave me DDS in the devil summoner case, I pointed it out to him, he looked around for DS and said that someone probably traded in DDS in the devil summoner case cuz it was in the right sleeve and he accidently marked it as DS so I could have it. :D
Now I need a disc only devil summoner and a digital devil saga case and manual if anyone has them.

SAVER'S:
NES RF cable - $1.99

GOODWILL:
Bushido Blade (PS1, CIB) - $1.99
Tecmo Bowl (NES, cart only) - $1.99

[Ryaan1234]

He absolutely needs to. But he might be busy being distracted by "shinys"

...and nobody's worried about the fact that he kept on saying "Pokemon peral" ?!?!?

On a slightly related note I had a shiny raticate. I caught it on Pokemon Silver years ago. It was the only shiny I've ever found and Silver was the last Pokemon game I've played.

(/me nervously glances at the copy of Pokemon Ranger that I got for $2.99 a few months ago.)

ummm.... sort of. I might've played something else Pokemon related.

Maybe.

[NayusDante]

No, "shinys" is not a word. That would either be pronounced "SHIN - ees" or "SHY - niss."

The plural form of "shiny" would be "shinies," if that were a word either. Since "shiny" is technically an adjective, it can't be plural. At any rate, Firefox flags both spellings as erroneous.

If you're going to be a grammar Nazi, at least be a helpful and informative one.

[Dreadstar]

Picked up SMB2 and TMNT (NES, both cart+sleeve) for 1.99 each today at Goodwill, and a new sealed copy of Guitar Hero Aerosmith (PS2) for 9.99 at Gamestop.

[Diosoth]

Nights Into Dreams for Sega Saturn. $10.

However, it doesn't have the analog controller, which I'll have to buy separately. I tried playing with the normal controller but the d-pad isn't suitable for long-term play. It's also missing the manual, which I'll have to find separate somewhere.

[namzep]

Stuff from the last couple of days:
Retrogame Challenge (DS) - $30
Children of Mana (DS) - $8
Patapon (PSP) - $10

I also picked up a dynamo labeler for labeling the tops of my games (so I can see actually figured out what they are without digging in the stack).

[BIGMIKE]

[fastlane250]

Picked up these at a Goodwill store for about $11

N64 Games:
Pokemon Snap (gave this to my pokemon-addict brother)- $3.99
Donkey Kong 64- $3.99

The other games were either sports ones or ones I already have.

Got this too:
N64 Rumble Pak (didn't have one and all the others I've seen are priced too high)-$1.99

[NayusDante]

Just won on eBay:

Sega CD (Model 2)
Sega Genesis (Model 1)
Power for both and RF
Genesis Game Genie + Book
Genesis Games I didn't have: Ms Pac-Man, Taz, NBA Hangtime, Monopoly, Arcade Classics, Columns, Vectorman, Jungle Book
Games I don't really need any more of >_<: Sonic 2, Spinball, and some sports...
Sega CD Games: Sonic CD, Rise of the Dragon, Silpheed, Sewer Shark, Stellar Fire, ESPN Baseball Tonight, and Jepoardy (looks like Jeopardy doesn't have a case, or is that Sewer Shark?)
Sega Mouse (Neat!!!)
Two gamepads

$94 with shipping and insurance ~ Not bad to start off my Sega CD collection. I definitely wanted Sonic CD and Silpheed, and I've been wanting a Genesis Game Genie. The rest of the stuff just adds to the bundle value, considering I was looking at about $50 for just a Sega CD. Are any of the other CD games particularly worth checking out? Anybody got an estimated value?

Pictures when it all arrives...

[tubeway]

McDonald's Treasure Land Adventure - Complete and MINT for $7!
It looks completely new and unused, with no marks, wear, or even creases on the manual. I think it's my rarest Genesis game now (R6).

[Atarileaf]

Picked up this NIB cleaning kit for the TG-16. Never seen one before so for a buck I couldn't resist, even if I'll never use it.

[namzep]

Newest stuff (Gapashon figures from Play-Asia and the region modded/s-video modded Genesis are from a fellow forums goer):

[DKTheArcadeRat]

Picked up this NIB cleaning kit for the TG-16. Never seen one before so for a buck I couldn't resist, even if I'll never use it.

I have one of those, but for the Game Gear, exact same packaging though. Still sealed as well.

The Sega CD version has an added minigame in it. Cool find, good adventure games are pretty special. :)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Adventures_of_Willy_Beamish


The Sega CD edition of the game features a minigame on Willy's Nintari system in his bedroom (in the PC version, playing the Nintari just plays a cutscene of a videogame). The minigame, known as Super Space K'Noidtrix, combines elements of Space Invaders, Tetris and Arkanoid.

[skaar]

Picked up some clearance titles at London Drugs, canadian dollars:

Time Crisis 4 (PS3) x 2 @ 29.99

Dead Space (360) 29.99

Cheap good titles are always nice :D

[Kitsune Sniper]

I tried Willy Beamish... and um, didn't like it. >_>;;

Guess I'll put it on eBay. :p

[Steve W]

Yesterday in Oklahoma City I picked up Music Composer, Music Machine, and Frogger cartridges for the Commodore 64, loose, for $1.99 each. And a VG Pocket handheld console for $2.99. The lady at the counter handed me a 25% off coupon when I walked in, which I used, bringing it to around $7 after tax.

I had meant to hit a few game stores around OKC, but I only managed to go to one. I came across three GameXchange stores, but had too much else to do to stop by.

[tubeway]

[tubeway]

seriously! I remember playing spy fox for hours when I was younger

They're pretty fun. There's a certain level of adult humor present in them. Even though I'm an adult, I still intend to give both games a go pretty soon. :)

[NayusDante]

I haven't actually played any of the Humongous Entertainment games, but I know my younger sister grew up playing them. Some of the old SCUMM team was involved in the company, which might explain the adult humor. I grew up with Day of the Tentacle, and they're basically the same thing, except for younger kids.

[Tupin]

Wow, you helped make Spy Fox? Awesome, I played those games to death when I was younger.

I didn't get a lot of the James Bond references until I was older, cannot believe I didn't see them until I played the game a few years ago. LOL

I always liked how each game was different, and the split second clicking you had to do during the chase scenes at the end of the games were pretty cool, as you got to play a little longer to see the good ending.

[Kitsune Sniper]

All I know about Humongous is that they made the "Fatty Bear" game. I can't even bear (Haha ugh) to pick that one up. :P

[Tupin]

Putt-Putt, Freddy Fish, and Spy Fox are better than Fatty Bear, it's a little too short for my taste.

Hit up play-n-trade yesterday and got:

I have a couple of the Spy Fox games. *coughs*

Never played them though.

[darkslime]

That's awesome that you worked on the Spy Fox games. I remember playing all of those when I was younger, Spy Fox, Pajama Sam, Freddi Fish, and Putt Putt. Those games were awesome. XD

[8-bitNesMan]

Had a decent day at the flea yesterday:
