Weekend finds 10/18

[Captain Wrong]

Not a big day, but ahh well.

At the videogame store I always go to,

SMS 3d glasses (small scratch on one side), loose Zaxxon 3d, loose Missle Defence 3d, and boxed no instructions Fantasy Zone: The maze plus phaser gun.
$35 total.

Now, at Goodwill comes the frustration.

I found the Box and overlay for Pole Position for the Vectrex. No instructions, no inside thingie to hold the cart and NO FRIGGING CART!!!!!

However, this set me back $1.00 and I put a copy of SNES NBA Jam inside so I did get A cart just not the one I was supposed to. *sigh*

Not like I have a Vectrex anyway, but man that's frustrating!

Found 2 playstation games...thats it...nothing else....not a another darn thing!!!! (Runs out of room sobing from embarrassment, hides in corner of gaming room with controller clutched to chest...still crying)
The Keeper

Well, thanks to Captain Wrong, I've got my first NES system in over a decade, so I decided to go to the thrift store just down the street. I know they are loaded with NES and SNES stuff but I stopped going awhile ago because all the Atari stuff dried out.

They had about 30 good condition NES games about a third of them boxed and priced just $1 and $2 dollars :D I picked up a boxed SMB3, boxed California Games, Tetris, Ikari Warriors, and Ninja Gaiden for $9. Nothing too exciting but definetely games I needed to get my NES collection going. They also had 30 or 40 carts for the Genny and SNES but I didn't look too close because I don't own those, yet.

well, sense I couldn't find anyone at DP that wanted to trade a FF III for a chrono Trigger (I still have one more for trade) Someone traded one in for 10 bucks at Software Etc. Luckly I know those guys pretty well so I went up and just "returned" the worst Chrono Trigger I had as "defective" and picked up the FF III.. Those guys down at Software Etc. rock. 8) so..

Final Fantasy III for 3.99

there is a big flee market tomorrow in Tyler, TX but it's raining really hard and I already spent $500 this month on games/systems.

..I'll probably go..

[Captain Wrong]

@oesiii, glad the NES is working out for you :) I'll think of you every time my damn "toaster" starts blinking. :lol:

I got something else very cool today, but not game related. A buddy gave me a huge box of old soul/r&b/funk 45s from the 50s through the 70s! And there's some LPs at the bottom of the box I haven't even seen yet!!! I'd guess there's at least 150 records in this box and this is my other major collecting bug, so I'm in hog heaven right now!!!

Today at a flea market I bought an Emerson Arcadia 2001 complete in the box (except RF switch) and 8 boxed common games. I have really been wanting the box for this system and games I didn't have and now I got some. I used my incredible bargaining skills to get the seller down from $75 to $40 because it was missing the RF switch. I now have a loose Arcadia 2001 w/screw in joysticks, aftermarket power supply and about 7 common games for sale or trade. If interested email me @ kgtdub@earthlink.net.
