A FINE deal on Cyberbots. That game is awesome, and you can use the 1 meg RAM cart for extra animation (the 4 meg cart doesn't do anything.)

I played the hell out of that one when I got it years ago. A fine price! Tech Romancer for the Dreamcast is supposed to be the "Spiritual Sequel" to Cyberbots (both by Capcom) but it's in 3-D and doesn't play as well.

:D

Thanks man!, it even included the spine card. I made another post about Powered Gear / Armored Warriors. I am trying to see if there was any home port of that becuase that is the games that introduced me to Cyberbots.

The saturn port stands up pretty well against the cps2 version imho

I hate to brag but I own this thread so far, unless anyone steps up.

At the Music Recyclery

Sonic Pocket Adventure 10.79
F18 Hornet Atari 7800 $1.59
Cosmic Carnage 32x $2.99
Space Ace Jag CD $9.99
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v465/vintagegamecrazy/Christmas2005030.jpg
[/img]

I went to Game Crazy and some guy traded in a ton of stuff earlier in the morning and I loaded up they had a ton more and I couldn't afford it. They had like 8 people trying to convince the guy that this stuff was so valuable but he didn't care.

Both game boys were $9.99 each and I have a boxed one with manuals and warranty sticker on back still and a green one.

Boxed Ogre Battle beat up cart good box $34.99
Legend of Zelda Links awakening complete $14.99

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v465/vintagegamecrazy/Christmas2005029.jpg

A complete Super GameBoy with the included strat guide Mint condition $14.99

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v465/vintagegamecrazy/Christmas2005028.jpg

And the best part and my absolute find of the year, read it and weap fellow Earthbound fans, a boxed EB with the guide Mint condition, it even had the scratch and sniff cards too, only $19.99

I got 10% off it all with mvp card though

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v465/vintagegamecrazy/Christmas2005027.jpg
:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

[DigitalSpace]

PS2:
Castle Shikigami 2 (new) - $9.99

Not to derail the thread, but I have to say this:

To anyone in the Portland, OR area, I highly suggest that you avoid the EB Games store at Lloyd Center. I am never shopping there again. I tried to buy Shikigami there and the only copy was the display copy. Usually display copies don't bother me and every time I've bought a game that was the display copy, the disc is in perfect condition. Not this time. The disc was scratched up. :angry:
I'm assuming that one or more of the employees "rented" the game. Along with that, they never seem to mark stuff down when the other EB stores in the area have. Not a big deal. But selling a scratched up disc as new is intolerable. Avoid this EB and go to the one at Pioneer Place or the new one that just opened up on the PSU campus on Broadway & Jackson instead.

[Cauterize]

vintagegamecrazy, please say you dont need that green gameboy!!!!! i only need that and a blue one now!


As for today, i had to pick my sister up from the train station so on the way i snagged:
