I got that at Ebay. I saw a review of it on G4 and it looked interesting so I went looking and found quite a few copies that were really cheap. I found this copy with the figure...I believe there were others as well. Actually, with shipping it was more like $10 or $11...

[Pantechnicon]

Tremendous 2600 haul today at a local shop - one not known for their Atari pickings...until now. :D , I'll let the picture do the talking.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v255/pzcortez/noble.jpg

(Altairboy, you see this? Get over to Noble on Wyoming ASAP!)

The loose ones were $3 each, the boxed were $5 each. The boxed ones are all complete and the Xenophobe is actually still sealed.

Going back to raid the big Intellivision box they put out as well. I saw at least 4 of the old Speech Synth games boxed and complete....woot.

[DigitalSpace]

PS2:

Atari Anthology (new) - $19.99

Not a deal, but the "favorite retro pak" (http://www.digitpress.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=49186) thread that recently popped up gave me the desire to pick it up while I still had the money to spend.

[Rogmeister]

So how is Atari Anthology? I noticed earlier it includes Lunar Lander and I loved that game, so I'm thinking of getting it.

[DigitalSpace]

So how is Atari Anthology? I noticed earlier it includes Lunar Lander and I loved that game, so I'm thinking of getting it.

I haven't tried it out yet, but I'm planning to soon, so I'll try to remember to get back to you.

With the amount of games included (18 arcade games and 67 2600 titles, 85 games in all), along with the fact that I really enjoyed Activision Anthology, this will probably be worth what I shelled out for it. And on another note, I really dig the box art.

[dreamcaster]

[Lemmy Kilmister]

Received Megaman X4,Burning Rangers and Albert Odyssey in the mail today. I also bought a mooded Duo off of D-lite, but that has yet to get here.

[Rogmeister]

Not really what you'd call "finds" but...I decided to go check out my Blockbuster to see if they had anything good...they have one of those Buy 2, Get 1 Free deals. The problem is I found a grand total of one game I may have been interested in, "Alias". It was $12.99 used and I figured I could find it cheaper elsewhere (and new) so I didn't buy anything there. I decided to splurge on a full-priced game for a change so I went to get Call of Duty: Finest Hour. Surprisingly, neither my local Wal-Mart or K-Mart had the XBox version so I settled on the GC one. And on my way home, I stopped at my local Rite Aid to check their PS1 games...nothing different there but I was surprised to find Pinball Hall of Fame there so I picked up the XB version of that...

[grimbal]

All loose:

32x:
T-Mek - .99

N64:
WWF No Mercy - 1.99

SNES:
Tetris Attack - 2.99

[DigitalSpace]

PS2:

Need For Speed Underground 2 (new) - $37.99
Tokyo Xtreme Racer 3 (new) - $14.99
Devil May Cry (new, GH) - $8.48

These are probably going to be the last games I buy for some time, unless I come across something or see a deal I just can't pass up. Over the last few months, I've been buying more games than I've been playing, and it's time to switch that around.

[NESaholic]

At flea for ps,Tenchu 2 complete $4.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v626/The_Nes_a_holic/Tenchu2.jpg

[qbertandernie]

found a new favorite place to shop...my secret, for now!

all genesis

complete: kings bounty
warrior of rome 2
starflight(no map)
mick and mack global gladiators
trouble shooter

boxed: pto

for $30

plus i got a silly saturn promo video. has a creepy bald girl(im usually a fan of bald girls for some reason, but this ones creepy) in it and the tape is ridiculous. has a biker guy in a tutu, another bald person(a guy) with silver paint on his face, and runs through what your body will do when shocked by the graphics of the saturn. example:
the brain " what more can go wrong?"
brains secretary "we have an urgent synapse, urgent synapse from the sphincter"

the tape is really cheap too. instead of having typical cassette flap that locks, this one has a cheap plastic hinge, similar to those found on dracula teeth. it was cheap and ive never heard of or seen one, and ridiculous enough to justify $1.

oh yeah...

gargoyles gen complete $5
axelay snes loose $5

[Cauterize]

im usually a fan of bald girls

O_O O_O O_O O_O O_O O_O O_O O_O O_O O_O O_O O_O O_O O_O

Everything is in really good shape. Anyone else out there from NE OH? Out here ther is a local chain of stores called the Exchange and their prices are always half of a nationwide chain like EB, Gamestop, etc..

Anyone else have a place that enables you never to set foot in one of those communist overpriced chains?

[qbertandernie]

we have similar stores(franchises of the exchange) in northwest ohio. they have been crucial to making my collection shine inexpensively.

long ago when i first started(and used the funcoland list as my guide) i got flintstones surprise, big nose caveman freaks out and pacmania for $5 each. too bad i put snow brothers at $2.50 back...

[drewbrim]

Nice! I know you guys have them in the Toledo area being that's where I am from and I know there are a couple down towards Columbus, but I 'm still not sure if there are any outside the great state of OH
