Holy Grail of gaming found tonight

[shawnbo42]

Actually, I am working on that as we type, should be up within 30 minutes or so, hang on!

[pseudonym]

Holy crap! Nice pics. Find any gems in there yet?

[NayusDante]

Hey, be careful stacking those! That Klax box in the 2nd picture looks squashed.

It might be a good idea to start taking inventory. Just go one crate at a time, typing a list of titles. Later on, you can combine the lists and sort it all. Looks really interesting so far, I'm particularly curious about what's in the 32X crate. Watch out for that 32X Spider-Man.

[shawnbo42]

actually, to be honest, haven't even really looked yet, as soon as I get the other pics up here, I'm going to bed. It's been a really long week, and it's not over yet. The second set of pics I have is the top-looking-down-at-the-games, so you'll be able to (mostly) see what's there.

[Aussie2B]

Nice, already looks like a good assortment with quality titles in there and not an unusually high percentage of sports.

[DDCecil]

I see Wild Guns so far, can't wait to see what else is in that pile of awesomeness!

EDIT: Now I see Keio Flying Squadron AND Radical Rex! NICE!

[chrissylas]

So envious! That's awesome!

[shawnbo42]

Try these, should be a lot more visibility here. BTW, all this is about 30% of everything, that should put the whole package in perspective.

[Kitsune Sniper]

Yeah, I think I hate your guts right now.

[cowmando6]

Wow....just wow. That find is incredible, and to think I live in the same state as you and thought CT was getting dry as far as game finds go...props to you sir, very nice!

[mb7241]

Truly amazing, indeed. As stated before, I call dibs on the NES stuff. If the pics were of a slightly higher resolution, I'd likely be able to identify all those Japanese Saturn and PS1 games, as well...

[NayusDante]

That's more import stuff than I had envisioned. You're going to be having a lot of fun identifying and cataloging all this stuff.

[grolt]

Nice pics man, now that's what I'm talking about. You're going to have fun going through all these! Congrats, and thanks for sharing.

[Gameguy]

That's a really good bundle, mostly Genesis and Sega CD means it's a good haul. I'm not really sure how well it was stored though, there seems to be a lot of dirt on a lot of games.

[shawnbo42]

Well, first off, thanks to everybody. Gameguy, they were stored in a basement, so, yes, they do have some dirt on the cases, but that is exactly how I got that stuff yesterday. I haven't done anything to them yet. Not to worry, when they are cleaned, they'll be shelf-worthy. I have some experience making old things new again.

[NCN]

Absolutely incredible. Congratulations on the huge find. Enjoy it!

I'm waiting to see a couple of apologies come in on this thread. We'll see what happens though. ;o)

[8-bitNesMan]

Kudos man, that is indeed an awesome score :D

[Cornelius]

Nice! Sealed Shaq-Fu!

The low % of sports games is actually unreal. Here's hoping it holds on at that ratio for the rest of the stuff.

[ErmangelnSeelen]

It would be crazy if you had a lot of duplicates, you could actually greatly affect the Digit Press economy, as far as availability and pricing ha

[Dark_Sol]

A lot of junk stuff there..I hope you didn't pay too much

[gokugohandave]

Wow, congrats man thats just truly an amazing find! Now only if there was a cache like that in Maine...

[Videogamerdaryll]

Congrats!!

[ShinobiMan]

Holy Retrogaming Batman!

That's truly amazing.

Conglaturation !!!
You have compelted a great game.
And prooved the justice of our culture.
Now go and rest our heroes !

[Ryaan1234]

Yeah, I think I hate your guts right now.


What do you mean by (clicks link) :eek 2: HOLY CRAP THAT'S A LOTTA GAMES!

Nice.
(I'm speechless.)

[Joe West]

about 3900 short of the 4000 games bought, 2 or 3 shots of the same games, just a different angle.............................

[Sailorneorune]

There's an Astra Superstars in there.

And I see Keio Flying Squadron. I ask that you enjoy it on my behalf, since my fiancé would kill me if I paid the "fair market value"*.

*that phrase makes me throw up in my mouth a little x_x

[Sailorneorune]

I apologise for my quadruple post.

*slaps the system in the back so it will get rid of the hiccups*

[Mr. Smashy]

Wait a second...
Is that Keio Flying Squadron factory sealed?

[super nes]

So uh whats your address? :P

[JanLazer]

Don't listen to anybody saying its 'junk stuff'. A find like that as a whole is AMAZING. Great find and congrats!

[Qixmaster]

epic find. some really good stuff in their. I can't wait to see what else you got :D

[cyberfluxor]

Looking good! Do you have the setup to play those imports? I would have loved to just stumble across that Saturn lot.


Wow....just wow. That find is incredible, and to think I live in the same state as you and thought CT was getting dry as far as game finds go...props to you sir, very nice!

It is, everything just went to another home.

[shawnbo42]

Wait a second...
Is that Keio Flying Squadron factory sealed?

I just checked, yes it is, some of the seal is ripped on a corner, but nowhere near enough to say it's not sealed.

[evil_genius]

I just checked, yes it is, some of the seal is ripped on a corner, but nowhere near enough to say it's not sealed.

wow good shit

[The 1 2 P]

Is that Ninja Gaiden Trilogy sealed as well? Damn, you did get some good stuff. And all those wonderful Saturn and PS1 import titles. There has to be tons of gems in those alone, probably many that you wouldn't even know about. Anyway, congrats man.

[Mewtwo]

Props to you, sounds like you got an incredible deal and you'll have quite the time sorting through it all. Enjoy your epic win!


Obligatory:


I thought you were gonna say the guy sold you a NWC 1990 for like $1.

Someone beat me to it!

[pseudonym]

Amazing score shawnbo! Do you have better pics of the imports (ps1 and sat), I'd love to know what they are... and if you want to trade/sell any of them. Haha.

[NayusDante]

I'm bumping this. We never did see the rest of it all. Did you ever get it all home?
