The past three weeks, I've gone to every garage sale and thrift store I can find, and I usually turn up a whole lotta nothin. On the rare occassions I come across something, half the time it's some crappy sports game. The flea market I've gone to had a guy selling tons of new games for high prices and little else. Is there nothing to be found in southern California, or am I just looking in the wrong places?

That said, I found a couple things today.

-A rather neat 100-piece Ocarina of Time puzzle, sealed, picturing adult Link with his bow, ready to fire. (would get a picture, but I have no idea where the camera is)

-Excitebike, loose (NES)

-King's Quest IV, complete (DOS) Had to get this after reading the bragging on the back. Over 3.0 MB of data, the biggest game ever! Over 40 minutes of music! Not sure how to play it, since it's on these big old floppy disk looking things that don't fit in the drive, but it's still cool :)

And some old George R. R. Martin Wild Card books.

Thanks! You know what's funny? I never look at the CD rack at any thirft store I go to. I just happened to look up from the games and saw the spines and said, "oh yeah!". There was a Super CD game too, but it was missing the disc. :( The checker gave it to me for free.
