[kainemaxwell]

[kevincure]

Sega Nomad w/ power adapter and Sonic Collection - 35
Metropolis Street Racer - 10
Striker Pro 2000 DC - 2.50

Quick question, btw: The screen on my Nomad, for some reason, looks almost solarized - that is, the colors don't really look right at all. The edges of the screen also fade toward blue. Any idea if this is normal or if there's a fix? Still cool playin' Sonic on the handheld either way though :-)

There's a contrast dial somewhere on it. I haven't played minein a while, so I'm not sure exactly where. And that blueness is normal.

I got a modern system |dances|

Only had to go to 6 different stores, but I've got a black gamecube.
Also picked up, used, Starfox Adventures, Defender, and THPS3.

Is it just me, or is Defender hard to the point of being unfair?

Crazy 3d shmups |sniffs| :(

[dreamcaster]

My final find for 2003:

Street Fighter II (US NTSC SNES) - cart. only

[anagrama]

Air Rescue & Great Golf for £1 each, which brings me to a total of 199 Master System games. Bah! I was hoping to break 200 by the end of the year :)

[kainemaxwell]

Quattro Sports (NES)- $2..11 at Salvation Army shop

[Rogmeister]

I've gotten 3 games this week (so far)...all for the Super Nintendo, Super NES, SNES...take your pick :P

Shanghai II: Dragon's Eye
Yoshi's Cookie
Cacoma Knight in Bizyland

The latter two just came today so I haven't checked yet to see if they're in good working order. I hope they are...one wasn't wrapped real well...basically just sent in a tightly bound manila envelope.

[norkusa]

Pawnshop:
Medal Of Honor-Rising Sun (PS2) $15
The Crazies dvd (old Romero movie) $8

Goodwill:
Metal Mech, Othello, Jack Nicklaus Golf (NES complete) $2 each

GameTZ trade:
Tactic Ogre (GBA). The dickface DID give me a used, re-sealed copy from Gamestop instead of a "new & unopened" one like promised. Oh well....

Also, not really a "find" but I bought the Mondo Cane dvd box set with my Cristmas money. Never spent this much on a DVD set before ($130) but it was worth every penny. Goodbye, Uncle Tom has got to be the most tasteless and racist film ever made!
