These new $1 PSX games I'm getting from Meijers are doing wonders for me in the wild. Check out what I scored:

Power Stone 2
Final Fantasy Origins
Breath Of Fire IV

....all totally mint and complete. All I had to do was trade 4 crappy $1 PSX games at the pawn shop to get them. It's funny, this guy has a $100 loose top-loader and a $300 Intellivision III package he's selling in his store but he doesn't give a crap about the games.

After that I went to Gamerush and traded in 4 more $1 psx games and got Full Spectrum Warrior and Spider Man 2 for Xbox for free (after using left-over credit on my GR card.)

Oh yeah, and I got Final Fight One from DDCecil in a trade. I love this game!

Here's what I decided to pick up out of the MASSIVE amount of Video Game stuff at the flea market today..
I'd say I saw around 300 NES games and at least 15 NES systems ..
Playstations all over & games...even one PSone.
Genesis games galore..Deals,.deals and deals I just past up.
Several Gameboys and games
N64s..
Various Handhelds.

Not one Atari or Vintage system though

Though I mainly sell Nintendos I didn't buy any..
Sometimes there is just to many things to buy....It gets sickening..


I snagged the Action Max for $9.00 while....
My wife got the PS(working/Dual Shock version) for $1.00 ..Yes a dollar..
That same vendor was selling everything for a clearout sale of a Dollar..
I'm talking whole computers/Nice Bikes/Shop Vacs/China..etc,etc.
I got the 3 Bootleg DVS for $3.00 ..Eh,what the heck....

The Action Max is complete and never used.....As I was walking around with it I heard someone say.."Oh man Action Max ..FK"
That's my find of the month

Then my wife picked up the N64 for $3.00..It also works..

The only reason I bought those 3 Genny carts is because they were 2 for a Dollar.
The Samurai Shodown was 50 cent and the NES cart a quarter.
The rare Tandy Handheld was 2 for a Dollar with the Golf.

I was being real Cheap today..Not even picking up rarer NES games ..It just was too hot..

I come to realize I have another part for this in my crap..
(Red Light/besides an extra Gun)...And there seems to be an extra VCR game in the box.(?)
You can tell it's not supposed to be in there because it holds the gun out of it's fully down position near the tip of the barrel..
Plus I don't see that game listed on the box..
Sonic Fury would lay in the spot that the HydroSub 2021 is..It lays on top of it holding he guns tip up abit.

I got Ninja Gaiden 3 (NES Cart only) for $5.

My big find today, and for quite awhile to be honest, was The Flintstones: The Suprise at Dinosaur Peak for......(drum roll)..... $5.37. Complete with Blockbuster rental sticker goodness.

Put me in a happy gamy mood.

Early this week a co worker gave me an original Vectrex controller. So my Vectrex is complete....yea.

Pretty good week for gameness.
