WHAT A FIND!! WAHOO

[norkusa]

Wow. Awesome finds, MAS. Especially on that Gameboy Camera. Has anyone figured out how to record video off one of those things? I always thought the GBC video had a great PXL 2000 look to it.

Anyway, the thrifts around here have been real dry lately, so I've been hitting up all the pawn and video shops to get my games. Here's what I've found:

GTA Double Pack for Xbox: $30 at pawn

Vandal Hearts II & Mr. Domino: $12 at pawn

Gallop Racer 2001: $10 at BB Game Rush (finally! just wish they had 2003 instead)

...and japanese Virtual Boy Space Squash & Space Invader manuals off ebay for $30

[DigitalSpace]

I just found Stack-Up for NES for $8 at a Game Crazy store tonight. I have a friend in Texas who just bought a Rob the Robot off of ebay and told me if I found the game, he'd reimburse me plus pay for shipping. Of the list of games he wanted me to look for, this was the one I never thought I would find, so I was obviously surprised when I found it.

[norkusa]

...and japanese Virtual Boy Space Squash & Space Invader manuals off ebay for $30

30 bucks for manuals???!!? Geeze.

Well, it *IS* VB Space Invaders and Space Squash. Thats about the equallivant of a NES Stadium Events and Flintstones: SADP manual. I'm a hardcore VB collector though, so I thought I got a fair deal :roll:

[tholly]

I just got back from picking up a Nintendo Vs. Sit-Down arcade machine. One side has Super Mario Bros. and the other side has Golf. The side with Golf has some monitor problems that I plan on getting fixed, but other than that it is in pretty good shape. I paid $125 for it, so I feel that it was a good deal. I will be posting another message later that will include pictures.

I also got a bunch of free Nintendo advertisements that Wal-Mart was getting rid of, including a big 4 foot long sign (really nice) and I will try to get pics of that too later.

That label is pretty crazy. I was expecting a difference, but that is a huge difference.Someone at AtariAge said it was the Canadian version which is the same as the Euro version and isn't as popular. I kow it's the first I've ever seen it. Much nicer than the regular US one. In a way.
