Biked to Goodwill today and got:
Boxed NES Action Set - Box worn but not too bad, missing top styro piece
Power Pad w/ box & instructions - box in about the same shape as the action set
$9.99 for both
Then these loose games for 1.99 ea:
World Class Track Meet
Videoamation
Captain Planet
T&C Surf Designs
have some stickers but labels are all good
Didn't get much chance to look over the NES and powerpad before I bought it cuz a guy got there right after me and I think was looking at them. Might stop back and pick up one more game if it's still there thursday. Was going to stop at the pawn but my hands were already really full. Good thing I brought my backpack!

I picked the following up at a local game store, that thankfully still carries the "classics" along w/ the newer tech. These were all for Intellivision:
180+ Overlays, 48 of which are different
23 Game Boxes
80+ Game Manuals & Fall '86 "New! Intellivision" distributed by Triton Prod Co
'87 "Special Edition Catalog" from Enterprise Inc., and the Fall '88 "The All New Intellivision" that names Intellivision as the marketing company.
2 Owner's Manuals-one original Intv, the other has Sylvania/GE as well, all for the low, low price of $.00.
I did get 5 loose Intv games:
LadyBug, Centipede, Microsurgeon, Swords & Serpents, and Body Slam Super Pro Wrestling, total spent $5.25. Heck of a deal!

I always wondered what was in the back of that disorderly store. With eaten pizza crust on the counter and roaches crawling outta nes' I can only wonder what's in the back.
I have found:
SNES
Demon's Crest - 15 YEAH...well...yeah. Had the box and love the game so why not?
Gonna hit some places today, more later.

I cleaned out Goodwill today!
For $14.34 (had to ask to get my penny back ;) I got:
A NeoPet (new, but the plastic bubble container had some scuffing in parts...didn't notice it in the store - was half off though)
Space Invaders Atari 2600 - top label's coming off on one end and I had to clean some old tape crap off around the bottom of the cart. No idea why I bought it really, besides it being the first cart for any Atari system I've seen at Goodwill o_O
NES stuff (all loose):
Game Genie; looks new after I cleaned the dust off
Talking Super Jeopardy! - R4 and $7 loose. The funny thing is that a basically brand new copy of the PC (or was it Tandy?) version was in the store's case for the longest time; I let somebody else get it. Same game, same developer, etc. Right there's half my money back.
Shadowgate - W00t! The front part of the clamshell is getting a bit brown and unsightly on both sides near the top, it's not the worst thing ever and you probably wouldn't notice it at a casual glance.
Ultima: Quest of the Avatar (NES port of Ultima IV) - R4 and $10 loose. I've more than made my money back by this point!
Some "Name that Tune" game which is actually a cartridge based LCD system with a rubber keyboard; it's by Tiger and is a lovely shade of Violet/Lilac :D
And...
From 1977...a boxed mechanical/LED Pong style game by Tomy:
"Blip."
Looks just like this 'ere one (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=1185&item=5905416875), except it comes with the box. Has no manual and only one of the pieces of styrofoam is left in the box, though. Box is in great shape considering how damn old the thing is! The screen has some uniform scratches/scuffs, not noticeable except when you hold it to a light.
Suffice to say I am very happy with my visit to Goodwill.
I also got three original flyers for Konami Famicom Disk System games (including the Japanese version of Jackal, aka Final Command; I discovered that the middle soldier seems American except for that MP-40 he's carrying!) from a couple forumers. Thanks, guys! They look great.

N64:
Perfect Dark (complete) - $4.99
Found at Gamestop. When I got home, I opened the box to discover the cart was still sealed in the little baggie. I basically got a brand new game. The box wasn't sealed when I found it and it was priced as used, so this was a nice surprise.
