I don't know if anyone has posted this here, but Circuit City is clearing out their Dreamcast games at $9.96 a piece. They also had some N64 and PSX games on clearence but I'm not sure if thye were $10 each or not (probably). Anyway I picked up:

NHL 2K2
NCAA College Football 2K2
NBA 2K2
World Series Baseball 2K2
Demolition Racer: No Exit
Ecco: Defender of the Future
Mat Hoffman Pro BMX
Alien Frontline: Online
Slave Zero
Buzz Lightyear of Star Command
Sould Reaver
Unreal Tournament
Illbleed
Quake III Arena
Sydney 2000
Phantasy Star On-line ver. 1
Outrigger
Eighteen Wheeler American Pro Trucker
Maken X
Prince of Persia: Arabian Nights
D2
Charge N Blast
Speed Devils: Online Racing
Nightmare Creatures II

I think $10 is the cheapest new DC games are going to get form now on unless they're cheapo sports titles. Most places that had them cheaper were picked over months ago. This may be the last spot to get them new.

Achika turned me on to this sale about a month ago, they were also selling N64 games for $9.96.

I got:
Pokemon puzzle league
Hey you, pikachu (new so mike isn't messed up from kids.)
both pokemon battle games with the GB adapter.
CBFD
Disneys racing

the DC games were already cleaned out in my store back then and the n64 games were getting low. tons of PS1 games for 9.96 but who wants em..

Disclaimer: Now I don't care for pokemon at all period, but at 9.96 for the carts and the odd n64 accessories new.. and Puzzle league is fun.

Yeah at my store at least it seemed like they only had one copy of each of the good titles and a whole bunch of those earlier sports games. I guess whoever gets to their Circuit City first wins. Luckily no one ever goes into mine (I was the only person in the store last night) so the selection was pretty good.

Sigh. Should I even bother going over there at lunch? I doubt my local CC has anything worthy left.

NHL2k2 at $10 is a steal!

If you buy DC games just to play, do not get Alien Front Online, Sega's online server is permantly offline and has been for the past few months. Daytona online game is also offline only and would be really crap.

For collector wise, go ahead and get them as many frustrated gamers probably threw away the games, making the games slightly rarer. :D

It's a shame sega isn't keeping up it's dreamcast servers. I wonder how long PSO will be up?

I know they had another 18 Wheel Pro Trucker at the Circuit City I was at last night. Is it rare or something?

Should I go back and get:

Illbleed
Unreal
Sega Bass Fishing
Soul Fighter
NCAA College Football 2K2
Space Channel 5

Are those games worth 10 bucks?

Yes, except for Soul Fighter. Pass on that one. You might also be able to score Bass Fishing for $5, but it's an excellent game and still worth $10. (presuming you have the fishing controller, if not, go get one now!) :)

I was at CC over the weekend and they didn't have any DC games. Maybe I ought to get to another one. You guys are finding some good stuff.

I went to another CC yesterday evening and didn't find much along the DC lines but got alot of N64 games. I was able to snag

DC:

Pokemon Stadium (x2)
Pokemon Stadium 2 (x3)
Pokemon Puzzle League
Banjo Tooie (x4)
Hey You Pikachu (x2)
Powerpuff Girls
Rugrats in Paris
Winnie the Poo: Tiggers

I was made fun of by the clerk for buying so much Pokemon stuff.

Is there anybody who might be able to pick me up a copy of 18 Wheeler and NHL 2K2? I'll check my Circuit City tonight, but if that falls through... I might need NBA 2K2 too, though I'm currently in the bidding in an auction.

Contact me at slapdash@enteract.com and I'll let you know if I came up with them locally or not. I do have a couple DC games I could trade, else buying is okay if you're not taking TOO much profit. :-)

Tempest
09-21-2002, 03:38 PM
Well I scoured a few more CC's but not alot out there:

Fur Fighters
Resident Evil 3
Crazy Taxi 2
Grand Theft Auto 2
Silver

I think I've bled them dry!

Bugger... Sounds like I should go check the more distant ones here.

I checked my Circuit City based what was in this topic, but couldn't find any games marked down under $10. They had a big rack of clearance stuff (N64, some PS2 a boatload of PS1) but nothing was marked that low.

I should have asked someone to check, but I was in a hurry.

Does anyone know the specifics of the sale?

Tempest
09-23-2002, 02:45 PM
Yeah they're not marked at the lower price (one store did), but they'll ring up at $10. That threw me off too for a bit.

I visited five more Circuit Citys today and came home with these:

Disney's Donald Duck Goin' Quackers
Floigan Brothers
Hoyle Casino
Nightmare Creatures II
Record of Lodoss War
Skies of Arcadia
Stupid Invaders
World Series Baseball 2K2

That brings my Dreamcast collection up to an even 100.

I also picked up Pokemon Stadium 2 today.

All I managed to score was:

Matt Hoffman Pro BMX
MTV Skateboarding

They were still marked $39.99, maybe that's why they were still there.

Well I visited 2 more Circuit Citys. In th epast week I visited ten stores altogether.

My take at this one was:

Charge 'N Blast
Death Crimson OX
Dragon Riders: Chronicals of Pern
Matt Hoffman's Pro BMX
NFL Blitz 2000
Ultimate Fighting Championship
WF Attitude

And for the N64:
Road Rash 64

09-24-2002, 10:58 PM
I made it back to my two Circuit Citys that didn't have the games marked as $9.96.

I was able to pick up:

Mario Golf (N64)
Paper Mario (N64)
NHL 2K2 (DC)
Coaster Works (DC)
S.F. Rush 2049 (DC)

I passed up on at least 5 copies of Tennis/NHL/NBA 2K2s each. I had them all & didn't want to chance being stuck with them as useless trade bait.

Being unmarked helped me because the 2 N64 games were still priced $49.99.

Thanks for the tip!

I know Russ really wants NHL 2K2 and NBA 2K2, you might want to try and work something out with him.
