[D-ville Gamer]

Good Job!! I don't seem to stumble on those kind of auctions too much anymore...Game boy too, excellent.

[frodo2968]

Thanks, I can hardly wait to see what NES, GameBoy, and Genesis games I get! :frustrated:

[punkoffgirl]

Wow, great deal :)

[Darth Vader]

I think you'll be VERY pleased with that auction win. Look closer and here's the titles you'll see: (at least the highlights :) )

Dragon Warrior II
Dragon Warrior IV
River city ransom

AWESOME grab! Congrats!

Danny

[frodo2968]

holy cow, really? which ones? do you have any photos of the spines to compare with?

[Darth Vader]

Yeah, look at the second pic on the far left is river city ransom, then a few down from it is DWII then on the far right just of the same pic is DW4.

Danny

[frodo2968]

yup, i'm well on my way to a nice NES collection, i've got the games in the collection found in my sig plus the ones i just bought...(yup, 2 dragon warrior 2's, one with manual)...and I'm only 15 years old! @_@

[dave2236]

Dv's got a good eye, I saw the DW 2 and DW 4 cart in there also

[frodo2968]

sweet, i'm really happy about that buy! does anyone have a top-view photo of either dragon warrior 2 or 4, so I can compare and learn from it?

[charitycasegreg]

holy hell? Why weren't there any other bids?

[frodo2968]

muaahaaaaaaaaa :P what a shame....

[Darth Vader]

holy hell? Why weren't there any other bids?

Low feedback seller, crappy description, but at least the pics are good. I love auctions like this, it's how I picked up my cart only glib for the 2600. :) Any NES auction with that many games is worth at least $40. But with the DW's it is worth over $75, probably more. Definitely the deal of the day, frodo!

Danny

[frodo2968]

yeah, anyhow, do you have a top-view pic of dragon warrior 4? i want to learn to spot games too.

[Darth Vader]

yeah, anyhow, do you have a top-view pic of dragon warrior 4? i want to learn to spot games too.

I can get you one, just email me at kazz@itol.com and I can beem the pic to you after I take one. I'll get it to you tomorrow afternoon.

Danny

[frodo2968]

done, thanks!

[frodo2968]

also, can anyone spot any other rare games, to ease my curious mind? LOL

-good night, all!

[jerkov]

Is it possible that the game with the green label inside that cardboard box (on top of the NES) is Little Samson? I can't see any of the text, I just see a green label - and the words "Little Samson" are very small on the actual cart. I know James Bond Jr. has a similar label (I think), but I think the text is bigger and would be somewhat visible in the picture.

If that is Little Samson, that's worth about $30 or so loose by itself (not to mention that it's an awesome game). Keep us posted as to which games you actually get when the package arrives.

[frodo2968]

I hope so! And yes, I'll definitely keep you posted! I'm just waiting for the seller to email me (I hope he'll accept PayPal)!

[Darth Vader]

I'm guessing it is zoda's revenge, if you are talking about the one on the far right on PIC 1.

[TheSmirk]

Nice grab!

[frodo2968]

the only games i can actually make out are "golf", "ice hockey", and "super mario 3", all of which are obviously pretty much worthless...any other eagle-eyed people here?

[Icarus Moonsight]

also, can anyone spot any other rare games, to ease my curious mind? LOL

They may or may not be "rare" but I'll tell ya what I see in there... Sweet deal BTW!

Dragon Warrior
Mario/DuckHunt
Golf
Mario 3
Kung Fu
Dragon Warrior 2
Playaction Football (maybe???)
Ice Hockey
Tag Team Wrestling
T & C Surf Design
Contra (little blurry but I am 90% sure)
Skate or Die
Ironsword or Willow (???)
Marble Madness

Thats all I can see. Dang my eyes hurt! @_@

[frodo2968]

thanks, can you see dragon warrior 4? i see dragon warrior 2 now...

[jerkov]

You're right, that probably is Zoda's Revenge....a far more common game than Little Samson is. I forgot that the top of its label is also a similar green color. I guess we'll find out for sure as soon as frodo gets it in the mail.

[charitycasegreg]

Hmmm.... I just cant see why nobody else bid for 10 bucks. I always come across auctions with like half this amount of stuff and newbies always bid high anyways. Even if the dragon warriors weren't in there im pretty sure a lot of people wouldnt have bid. Maybe a new bid like 100 bucks? Then another one outbid him? And the seller cacelled the bids because they had low feedback? I just dont get it...but still great deal.

[tholly]

very nice find...especially at that price....congrats...and keep us posted with any other notable rares once you get the package in.

[frodo2968]

nope, no bid cancelations or retractions, just one bid, me. I'll keep you all informed, unfortunetely the seller won't take PayPal, so it'll be a bit until I get them...

[frodo2968]

OK, I mailed the seller a money order today, so I should get the games/systems mid to late next week...in the meantime, can anyone see any Mega Man games in there? Or maybe Dragon Warrior III? Or Flintstones 2? Or some other rare ones? We can make this a game: who ever identifies the most games wins! LOL

[dave2236]

What I don't get is how the description says over 20 games, yet the pics show over 40.... I guess the guy can't count

"GAME" RULES

When you identify a game that no one else has, then you get a point!

LEADERBOARD

1. Dave: 17
2. Acidic_Pain: 10
3. Darth Vader: 4
4. frodo2968: 3

[frodo2968]

No one else wants to claim first place in the games? Well, I guess there aren't many more games that are "identifiable", so each game scores 20 points now! @_@

[Darth Vader]

From left to right, pic 2:

the rest are pretty tough to read.

Danny

[frodo2968]

I think that Danny wins ;)...those are probably the only identifiable ones...Thanks, I'll keep you updated!

[charitycasegreg]

Thats 46 nes games in there. Damn. Did you ask him waht sega stuff you get? That stuff is well worth over 70 bucks.

[frodo2968]

kinda makes you wanna browse eBay more often, eh? too bad the slump is about over...and no, I didn't ask him about the gameboy stuff or the genesis stuff, i'll just wait and see!

[portnoyd]

Jesus christ dude, that's highway robbery. On top of what's been identified, the rest could be SMB/DH and you'd still be way, way ahead of the game.

dave

[frodo2968]

I know :devilish:....waat a shaaame, waat a shame...
\^_^/

[charitycasegreg]

I check ebay as much as I can. Dang.

[frodo2968]

oh well, you can't find them all...

[Simply Dave]

Killer find bro!

[charitycasegreg]

The coolest part about you winning that is didnt you only have about 10 nes games before that?

[frodo2968]

Actually, I had 7. So now I've got like 50, with several nice ones in there.

Anyhow, it's coming tommorrow, so I'll tell ya'll what I get!

[frodo2968]

Today's the day...it's on the truck for delivery... :-P

Magnifier thing-a-ma-jig


For the Gameboy, how do you test it? Is the light supposed to turn on even without a game in?

[charitycasegreg]

All 4 dragon warriors?! @_@ You lucky SOB. I so wish I would have got some deal like that as one of my first ones...damn....

[tholly]

as for testing the gameboy magnifer light.....most of the gameboy lights from back in the day used batteries and had a seperate on switch on them and would work without a gameboy.

[frodo2968]

What about for the gameboy itself? Do you need a game to test it? I put new batteries in and turned it on, but nothing happened. Is a light supposed to come on? Or do I just need to test it with a game? I don't have any games because he didn't include any like he said he would. :roll:

[Cmosfm]

Damn man, even without GB games and an AC Adapter you still made out like a bandit.

something should at least come up on the screen. i know the newer version gameboy would come up on the screen without a game in. i think on the old first one, just a black bar would come up on the screen

also, a red light would light up if it worked

[tholly]

Damn man, even without GB games and an AC Adapter you still made out like a bandit.

especially with getting all those dragon warrior carts....i would have loved to find that lot of games

[frodo2968]

Well, the magnifier/light works...the Gameboy iteself, well, the battery light doesn't come on or anything, no line either...maybe it's broken? :hmm:

[frodo2968]

Anyone know how to get the gameboy to work? or is it "If the light doesn't come on, it's gone"?

[dojosky]

yea for $10 its a steal i wouldnt even care abt the gameboy if it wasnt working at all !!! it can be found on ebay for $5-20 easily !! :) but ur a lucky dog for scoring a lot of nes games especially those dragon warriors 2-4 !!!!!!!!

[frodo2968]

Yeah, for $30 it was a steal :P
