8-) 8-) 8-)
Also, I got a copy of Star Shot for the N64.

[Biff_McFresh]

Thinking about picking up Firefighter F.D. 18 tomorrow for 39.99, but I dunno if it's worth it. Trying to gauge it's possible rarity and/or enjoyment if I open it.

[robotriot]

Damn, I'm spending too much money on this :P

Got these in town today:

MD - Super Street Fighter II
Xbox - Ninja Gaiden
Xbox - Leisure Suit Larry
GC - Resident Evil 4

[Cauterize]

Damn nice score there Jumpman Jr. How much was it?

[Dimitri]

Today I found...my friend's new MAME cabinet to be awesome. 8-) Played through the entirety of the Battletoads arcade game on that thing. It's definitely going to get a ton of use. :D

[Jibbajaba]

Maybe not a find...

Picked up a PSP along with Lumines and Wipeout Pure. All I can say is wow. Ive already played both games (lumines is definitely the best launch game IMHO) and watched Spiderman 2. I have a couple of dead pixels but they REALLY arent a big deal.

To anyone who is on the fence about buying a PSP, if you can at all afford it, GET IT!!!

That's is the crustiest SNES I've ever seen :eek 2:

[MegaDrive20XX]

That's is the crustiest SNES I've ever seen :eek 2:

Yeah to be honest, this SNES was a house fire survivor, I asked the gentlemen what happened, and he told me back in 1993 his sister's house burnt down and her son grabbed the Super NES.

I've tried to clean it for about 2 hours almost. It's looks terrible, but runs normally.

As for Xexyz, I do a run to the flea markets once every month. I always find something interesting now and again.

The Capcom stick for SNES is pretty solid, I played Killer Instinct with it for a little bit, pretty good responsive controls.

Well, I didn't trade in any of my stuff. I bought stuff, to trade into EB, and well, it's complicated :P

Steel Battalion (new in box with controller) at Toys R Us for $99.99 CDN. :D

http://24.150.128.70/vermin/images/videogames/xbox/steelbattalion_open.jpg

Never would have paid the full price for this ($249.99), but at under $100, I figured it would make a nice addition to my collection. It's pretty fun to immerse yourself in, too, and I love the expression it put on my kids' faces when I put it together and revealed it to them. :)

I must say this is most impressive. I would love to get a nice chunk of a system completed that way. The games look really nice too for rental games...are they sunfaded or have lots of stickers or anything?

[jeffg]

this was a small mom and pop place and he had no stickers on the boxes.
Some of the boxes had the plastic on them still and he wrote the # on it.
Some boxes have a # in sharpie on the front and then on the cartridge itself.
Usually on the cart it is on the side so i think I can use goo gone and get rid
of it.

Some of the good ones are: Clay Fighter Sculptor's cut, Bust A Move 99,
all the disney games, Smash Brothers, Zelda Majora's Mask, Gauntlet Legends,
Mario 64, and some others. of the 158 of them I checked on the DP Guide and about 70 of them are $10 and up. Total of 45 sport games though
but for $150 for them all 113 non-sport/wrestling and 45 sports/wrestling
games is pretty good.

I missed out on this guys SNES, Genesis, and DC games. He sold them all a couple months ago. He had about 200 SNES, 200 Genesis, and 50 DC games

Also only 15 duplicates.
I am going to sell off the duplicates and also all the gory "M' rated games.
I am not much for them. I posted a lot of 12 of them on the buy/sell board
for $25 plus shipping. Someone take them off my hands.

[-hellvin-]

Someone take them off my hands.

I think I will. Looks like some fun titles.

About three years ago, I would've killed for that Interton VC4000 setup. I was on a huge kick for systems like that (Arcadia and otherwise similar), but after piling up several foreign machines that I couldn't actually play, I realized it was time to move on. Darn.

Excellent find, I've been working hard on my N64 collection and I can't find a single video store that wants less than 5.00 each for them. :(

I wouldn't feel too sad about that. If they're complete and in nice condition, $5 is a good price for many N64 games.

[RockyRaccoon]

To anyone who is on the fence about buying a PSP, if you can at all afford it, GET IT!!!

Chris

I pretty much did the same thing.Got my psp with those two games along with Metal Gear Acid. I like all three games but I agree that lumines is the best. I love the system and I will be buying Mercury and Untold Legends for it this week.

[Lemmy Kilmister]

Yeah true, for $2 that's a miracle system to survive that

[DigitalSpace]

Today was "Sega Happy Meal crap day" for me, because that's what I found.

Here's what I got for $1.47 total at Goodwill:

2 Sega McDonald's handhelds
-Michael Vick Football
-A Sonic handheld game from the 2003 Happy Meal promotion. It's the one where Sonic has to jump from platform to platform.

Another happy meal toy from 1994 that is a pink TV with a little model 2 Genesis and 3-button controller on top of the TV. It has wheels on the bottom and if you roll it you can see Sonic and Tails running from Dr. Robotnik in the TV. Pretty cool.

Ironically enough, I went to Goodwill right after having lunch at McDonald's. LOL

[packratshow]

Saturn - Virtua Fighter Kids (sealed) - 5.00 - garage sale

Got that at a garage sale, but even better, I located this on Sunday and picked it up today:

Yay! No instructions(looking to buy/trade them), but everything else is nice. Anyways, I bought it because I want to play it(gasp!).

[YoshiM]
