Boxed Mint NES, with all the poly inserts, posters & registration papers etc, and Super Mario Bros boxed and mint.

Plus :

Mega Man (mint boxed)
Mega Man 2
Metal Gear
Mario Bros 2
Mario Bros 3
Batman
Turtles
Bionic Commando
Castlevania

and a zapper and an extra pad.

All for £45. Not an absolute steal, but still a pretty sweet find! I knocked the guy down from £60, which was definitely excessive.

My local GS is not running this special!! >:( I picked up several NES games anyway.

Not game related but I picked up these VCD's in their plastic boxes for $3 each. They were made by some company in Arizona and designed to run on Win 3.1 & 95. After some tweaking they worked geat on my lap top and the video was not that bad!

Ninja Scroll
Ghost In The Shell
And something "Tank Police"

Golden Axe (GEN Complete) - 5
Suikoden - 10 (it's complete, but the case looks like a replacement. The game has the backing and instructions, but the "top half" of the double case doesn't have instruction slots (rather a CD holder). It has the PSX logo inscribed into it, so maybe it's an official Sony replacement?)
Everblue 2 (PS2) - 15

I found TONS of stuff this past 3-day weekend:

For Jaguar (all these were complete in box!):
Alien vs. Predator (manual's in really rough shape)
Tempest 2000
Cannon Fodder
Syndicate
Iron Soldier
Flashback

32X (also complete):
Space Harrier
Star Wars Arcade

These were $3.95 each. First time I've EVER found Jag stuff at a thrift. I also got NES Galaga ($1.95), Saturn Bug! ($4.95) and Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine for Genesis ($4.95) at the same place.


At another thrift, I found the original EA gatefold release of Starflight for the IBM PC for $3. It's in BEAUTIFUL condition, and now I finally have the Map and Code Wheel! My all-time favorite game too!


I also picked up 2600 Sky Diver, a six-button Genesis control pad, and Rush's Hemispheres album on cassette (for listening to in my sadly CD-player-less car) at other locations.

Not a bad weekend at all!

Wow. That reminds me of something else: Now is really a good time to get ahold of PC stuff - especially the smaller releases. There's a few sites out there with unopened PC titles from back in The Day (i.e. late 1980s) and I recommend tracking them down. I've got to do that myself.
