Today I recived Devil World for NES :)
On the auction page it wasnt much info so i thought it was the cartridge only. But when I recived it today the box was also included! Realy happy with this.

Have this ever happend to you? That you bought stuff and you got extra "bonus" stuff like manual/box etc.

I bought 11 japanese Dreamcast games of ebay a few weeks ago. No spine cards were listed and the games were stated to be in ok condition (backed up by a pretty poor photo). You can imagine my delight when I received 11 near mint to mint games, all complete with spines (bar one game)!

And i purchased Bangai-o (PAL DC) and in with the game the guy had included a metal puzzle and a plastic fortune telling fish thing. I laughed.

I got Ogre Battle for the NGPC and it said it came with the game and manual. But I got the box and plastic case with it too. Not bad for $14 after shipping :-D

When I got my Bad Dudes vs. Dragon Ninja game for the Nes I thought it would be lose (no photo at the auction). In fact it was boxed, which made me happy.

Recently bought Rainbow Islands for NES off ebay for a friend. I bought it under the impression that is was box/cart. only.

Turned out to be complete (box, manual, nice cart, sleeve and polystyrene packing). Pity it was for a friend, as my own copy is just a loose cart. :/

I bought a used PS1 Driver at GameStop a long time ago. When I opened it, out fluttered two Poloroids. The previous owner took them at the local nudie bar. :eek 2:

THAT is the oddest "extra" I've ever come across. No, I didn't keep 'em.

Ooh, Tim, that's gotta be the creepiest "extra"! Who knows what he's done with these polaroids before... *shudders*

Once, I bought some game on Ebay (can't remember which one, as it's been a long while ago) and the seller included a minty Legend of Zelda, CIB! :) And LoZ didn't have anything to do with the product I bought...

Well once I bought a whole bunch of complete Super Famicom imports off a guy called dpmphoenix over at GTZ. Which would have been good onto its self, but he also thru in the manual and map for Secert of Mana that he knew I was looking for to make it complete. :)

I bought a package of 14 snes games, and it came with two bonus titles, one which was Lufia 2 (which goes for more than I paid for the package).

I've bought games for PS2 and Gamecube before and opened them up to find a memory card in the case with the game! Real nice find when you pay 10 or 15 for a game and get a 20$ memory card for free!! :D

I bought 3 boxed Microvision games from a thrift once that were bundled together. The thrifts around here use packing tape to bundle so I didn't want to peel the tape and screw up the boxes. I took the chance that the games were inside. Not only were the 3 boxed games complete but there wee two other loose Microvision games tucked inside 2 of the boxes.

Another time I bought a boxed Sears Pong Sports IV and there was a 1977 Red Wings schedule was in the box. small but cool.

I bought Dragon Quest 3 for the Super Famicom on ebay and was happy to see the seller tossed in 2 hint books, one a normal guide book for the Famicom version and the other tells of the history of the subplots and it came with stickers (though 1 or 2 were missing.)

A couple years ago I purchased a Saturn with some games on eBay, which I wanted only for the copy of Panzer Dragoon Saga that was included. It also included the other two Panzer Dragoon games, as well as a few other commons. My plan was to sell the Saturn and extra games to try and recoup some of my money, essentially to get a cheap copy of PDS.

When I received the package, the seller had thrown in several extra, complete, games that he found after the auction had ended, some being, from what I can remember off the top of my head, Super Puzzle Fighter Turbo, Marvel Super Heroes, X-Men: Children of the Atom, Darkstalker's Revenge and Sonic 3D Blast.

The best part, though, is that he also included a game that he "couldn't get to work": a complete longbox Playstation copy of The Raiden Project.

I bought a boxed Intellivision 1 which felt a little heavy. When I got it home, I realized there was also a complete (with power supply) Intellivision II stuffed in the box as well. (Too bad the controllers were trashed.)

Once, when I bought Final Fantasy Anthology from a local pawn shop, I opened the case and noticed that there was an extra FF5 disc and an extra music CD! It was 2/3 more of the game for free!

No, I didn't keep 'em.

Sure you didn't. LOL

I bought a lot of NES games a few weeks ago (all of them loose), but for some odd reason the seller included the instruction manual for the Gamegear game Cutthroat Island.

When I snagginated my lot with two Panesians in it, it turned out they weren't loose but boxed. Know what you mean.. surprises like that are always nice.
