Also got the infamous (on 4chan anyway) "the offiical nintendos player's guide" (the one that says mega man takes place in "monsteropolis") for three bucks in DAMN GOOD condition as I choose to call it. Cover has a little wear but man the pages are minty.

Picked up a pokemon gold GBC holder thingie, since I already have a silver one. So now I have a nice matching set.

Got a luigi and gooba fast food toy, as well as two tamagotchis and a few knockoffs for 50 cents.

My Lovely Assistant also picked up a copy of Warioware touched that i need to pry from her hands to give a shot, heh.

[leorange]

Hehe. So is there a special boxed Whac A Critter that includes the controller, as well as a regular boxed game?

Also, do you know which Carmen Sandiego is the one with the HUGE box for the that large ass book that comes with it?

Cool, thanks for the help...I saw one with the large box and encyclopedia and then found out there was two different games on the genesis and didn't know if they both had one.

[CasualCoreGamer]

Didn't have much time to spend at the flea mkt this morning, but I did manage to get Legend of Legaia (PSX) for $5, Capcom vs SNK Pro (PSX) for $5 and Contra Hard Corps (Genny new/sealed) for $4. Better than nothing...

[Elusive]

Mega Drive carts (loose, £10 for the lot):
Mega Games 1
Columns
Evander Holyfield's Real Deal Boxing
Theme Park (with manual, though). I noticed that this cart is more squarish than my other carts - plus, it references the Genesis system on the back. US cart, woo. However, it plays on my PAL Mega Drive fine, which is strange.

Sega Master System 2, loose, Alex Kidd built-in, with all cables and a controller, R-Type chucked in - £8

[Rogmeister]

I picked up the Ms. Pac-Man version of the TV Games unit yesterday. That brings up an interesting question...do those of you who have bought those...and who keep track of how many games they have...count these units along with your other games (cartridges & cds)?

[Cauterize]

Theme Park. I noticed that this cart is more squarish than my other carts

This is because it is an EA Games cart, they are slightly larger and have a yellow tab which lots of people mistake for a button!



As for me, my parents jsut got back from a weekend trip to venice, italy... and to make the fact that they were coming home even more awesome, they picked up these for me there!!!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v366/cauterize4/01-05-05.jpg

4 complete, brand new but showing age Italian Super Nintendo Games!
All the inserts are in italian! Id be happy to scan any of the inserts if anyone is interested?

Also the spare Unirally... yup! its up for trade!

[Slate]

Raid On Bungeling Bay (NES - Loose) R3
Spiritual Warfare (NES - Loose) R4

I traded 5 games for the NES games. here is what i traded:

Excitebike (NES - Loose)
Pokemon Stadium (N64 - Loose)
Space Schannel 5 (Dreamcast - Complete)
Super Mario Bros 2 (NES - Loose)

I got the games that i traded for $11.50 total, so no big problem. If i didn't trade the games, I would have had to pay $20 total for the NES games.

I got the Genesis game at a differant part of the flea market, and the SNES games at a yard sale. Did i mention that the SNES games are in Minty condition? :D

[tylerwillis]

All I found after hitting 6 pawn shops was a Mario Kart DD for $14. Oh well, hit them next week.

[leorange]

from the swap meet today:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v203/orangest/smbdx.jpg

c.t.a.'s smb dx-$10

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v203/orangest/gunstar.jpg

mega drive gunstar heroes-$4. tragically, this might be a d.o.a., as i've cleaned it a few times and can't get it to work on either my nomad or my early model genesis.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v203/orangest/atari.jpg

paid $30 for this lot. more than i should have, and i don't necessarily need it all, but the collector justification/insanity of not passing over a nice little find like this took over. football and 01 combat are missing their manuals, the others are complete. all are in nice shape.

[Lemmy Kilmister]

Got a complete non GH copy of Resident Evil: CV and a saturn for 4 dollars at the flea market today. Nothing really graet, but I'd be lying if I said that was a bad price.

[dojosky]

that gunstar heroes seems like a " bootleg " to me not sure but check on the back to see if the screws are actually plastic which meaning the cart case can be opened easily and check the pcb inside because ... I had one same thing happened to me I got a free bootleg alien soldier from someone years ago and it never worked but i always felt so guilty if i was to throw it away in the trash but one day I somehow decided to examine the cart case and noticed that it had plastic screws instead of real screws so i decided to open the cart case it popped easily and snapped back on easily it turned out the pcb was on the wrong side so i just switched it and it WORKED !!! and it had a black GLOB in the middle on the pcb obivously it was one of the hong kong or taiwan's work LOL

Scored a squeaky clean PSX 9001 with a new red dualshock for $19.99 Canadian.

No discolored shell, no nicotine stains or smell, no pet hair, no crumbs or food matter. It looks like a system that was owned by an adult gamer and probably saw extremely light duty.

Now I can continue with my PSX library without having to own a PS2.

good call; this one didn't even have screws on the back, and ended up unsnapping easily after a little bit. black globbed pcb inside. :) unfortunately, inserting it the other way doesn't work either. oh well...thanks for giving me the idea anyways...

[legov8]
