Well I was down at a pawn shop my friend told me about today and they happened to have a game there called stadium events that I've heard several people on mention before on this forum. What I did not know was that it was a freakin' R9 licsenced game. Damn.

Well. Wasn't expecting that.

Congrats on your find. I can't wait to see your pics, as this may be one of the greatest finds this year. Hopefully you aren't lying though.

Oh sweet. Actual pics.

(Just so you know, we've had quite a few incidents in the past involving false claims....primarily Stadium Events)

That's kinda dumb. Don't really see the point in lying about it =\. But yeah, that be it, probably the lucky moment of my life.

He's not at all a game collector. He had been to the pawn shop and we start talking about classic games one day at the bowling alley and he's like yeah, this place at X has tons of old stuff so I went down there, didn't notice it the first time and when I went back today I bought it but didn't know it was that rare.

Damn, damn, damn! You're one lucky little man! You've got basically the rarest NES game there is! Enjoy!

Smile a little, you just got a cart worth hundreds of dollars for practically nothing. :P *thumbs up for the shirt too*

Iron Maiden is classic, but so is Morbid Angel.

Congrats on the find. Just goes to show that there are still great deals out there, waiting to be had. If nothing else this thread should make everyone hit every garage sale, thrift store, and pawn shop in town tomorrow!

Defenitely. I even missed it the first time. Hopefully my last rays of good luck shine out and everyone finds something kick ass soon.

And for being such a crappy little magazine pull out thing, that morbid angel poster shall ALWAYS stay. How can I throw out the strangely weird combination of trey and pretty soldier sailor moon in the background??

First of all...DJBeatMongrels Avatar ROCKS!

Second of all...Hellvin...fuck you! ;) Dude, what a lucky find...I have to give you SO MUCH credit on this one. I hope one day to run across it, and I will of course crap my pants and probably be so excited that I'd leave my wallet at the place I got it while skipping away into the sunset.

Anyways, I hope you die a slow death you lucky rat bastard

I was more interested in some of the stuff behind you. ;)

Is that a Castlevania: Lament of Innocence poster on the wall? And are those SMS and Intelivisions boxes sitting on the top of the monitor?

Nice find on the game -- too bad you don't have a box or manual for it also. :D

All yes. Got that poster at a gamezone store. And that's robot tank, ice hockey, and realsports boxing for atari, then pitfall, utopia, MLB, star strike, and b17 bomber for intellivision, and gauntlet, maze hunter 3d, blade eagle 3d, great volleyball, vigilante, marksman/trap, and rocky for SMS.

Hell of a find. Kind of makes my R9 find this weekend look like crap :embarrassed:


But at least I knew the game I found was an R9 the moment I saw it :P

Nice find, hellvin!

That's one for the record books. We can log it in next to the guy who got Video Life at the CGE Swap Meet in '99 for $5.

Congrats and now find a nice place to display it!

$5 at the CGE swap meet?!?!? What's the story behind this? I never heard it before. I'm sure the seller knew what he was doing if he was at the CGE, right?

of course he didn't know... but the buyer did. Damn I would have killed to have that video life cart.

Good find on the SE! Mebbe there is one floating around in oregon. I have been having reoccuring dreams about finding one complete....

I would'nt mind having that Castlevania poster. :)

What was that device that CommaVid made that was mentioned in the information on Video Life?

Great find, again. Me, I'd be more tempted to sell the game and use the money to round out your collection since it seems you collect NES games. :)

I'm not sure which is more amazing, the fact that you found it or that someone was telling the truth about finding it ;)
