It's definitely not a PAL cart. I'd, therefore, presume it to be Japanese. *Sits stroking his beard in a rather aloof manner* :)

Recieved this stuff in the mail today:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=8124218220&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT

Pushed away in the back of the photo would be the best part of the deal, the box and manual for Final Fight Guy. I thought I'd never find it to complete my game.

BTW, the box appears to be the american release...it does say Blockbuster Exclusive on it, but there is a bunch of Japanese on the back. Is the seller correct in saying its the Jap box or is it the American one? I just want to double check.

At the local flea market:

Tengen Tetris (NES) $7.00 :)
Side Pocket (NES) $4.00
Ring King (NES) $2.50


I also found it funny that they guy was using an old Funcoland pricing newsletter to price all of his games ( which explains why I got the Tetris at a good price). Also, he had a toploader that he was willing to part with for $150.00 @_@ ("Dude, this is the only one I've seen in all my life", he said, as I was walking away. O_O )

I managed to get myself boxed versions of FF Legend I, II & III for the Gameboy fully boxed with maps. I bought them on ebay so I'm still waiting to see if they are truly as mint as I've been told! Paid $120 for them so they better be bloody great X_x I hope this isn't too ridiculous a price to pay but I thought it was a good idea to buy them anyway, I've been looking for a couple of weeks for them and thought the Gods were smiling upon me....

My american copy of FFG came in a box with japanese writing on the back, so I assume that's just how it is.

Just picked up a bag of 2600 carts. All cart only and most of them are a bit rough (dirty and torn labels).

Kangaroo
Dig Dug
Missile Command
Bowling
Stampede
Grand Prix
Vanguard
Video Olympics
Ms Pac Man
Star Raiders
Keystone Kapers
Super Breakout
Superman
Pitfall
ET

All free! :D

Plus, I guess this should really be a weekend find, but I've just now had a chance to bring it home. A complete Missile Command upright. Also free! 8-)

Only problem, the wood is about twice as thick as normal from water damage. I just need to find a converted cab and I'll be in business!

Finally, 2 boxed genesis joypad extension cables. $3.50 a pop.

The atari carts were taken in trade by a local store. They were too rough for them to try to sell, so they kept them under the counter for me. Pays to make friends with the guys that run these places!

The Missile Command came from a warehouse raid a buddy of mine did. The cabinet is wasted, so it's not s super great find. But, he knew I've been looking for one so he included it in his deal and gave it to me. I'm sure eventually I'll give him something back to make up for it, so it will all work out in the end!

well...

Atari 2600

Spike's Peak/Ghost Manor (loose)
Crypts Of Chaos (loose)
Alien (loose)
Phoenix (complete)
Bugs (complete)
Gorf (complete)
Trick Shot (complete)
Star Ship (complete)
2.99 each

I also found Alien Crush for the tg16 at goodwill....or so I thought! I have them pull it out of the case and it has the manual to shot something or other (which was half missing) and there was no game of any kind inside. I'm kinda pissed at myself for letting them throw it away and not asking for it...coulda had a free alien crush case. There was also a keith courage in there and I'm tempted to check it out. They also had a boxed phantasy star II but I passed on that. Gotta have em complete =D.

Grabbed Astro Boy for GBA and a Sony PSOne LCD Screen. Bought the combo used at Gamestop for $80 and traded in the extra PSOne for$20, leaving the LCD at$60.

The screen is a truly amazing item. Can't wait to get a battery and two of the new SF Controllers so I can go to town on some portable Street Fighter Collection 2!

Went to a bunch of garage sales got nothing. 2 of them said they alredy sold the nintendo stuff. Then I went to a random house with my freind and the lady said her husband had stuff and to come back later so we did. He pulls out a top loader nes and like 20 games(i had all but like 2). Then he pulled out a snes with some games including mario kart. He wanted too much for the games and wanted to keep them for his son when he gets older. I offered the guy for his top loader but he wouldnt sell it. He gave me a free nes advantage though. Ill post pics of the stuff i got the past week on sunday.
