Midweek Finds: May 9 - 13

[slip81]

Didn't see a thread yet so here it is.

Good start to my week, I should be getting Ogre Battle 64 in the mail in a few days :D

[GrayFox]

Got myself a Genesis 2 Box, the Sonic Spinball one.

Its in pretty damn good condition, but there seems to be a very small blemish, almost like a factory-defect or something, because there is no way I can remove it.

I'm anal, but hey, I guess my super minty genesis will rest in this box til I find a Sonic 2 one.

Which reminds me, ANYONE have a minty Genesis 2 Sonic 2 box?! I am dying for one.

[Slate]

Nothing today. Trying to figure out what I'll be trading the vendors at a flea market the next time i'm there.

[-hellvin-]

FINALLY!

God it takes forever to get stuff from Canada. Any time I've bought or sold there it's taken at least three weeks...anyhow it was well worth it:

Genesis - Master of Monsters (complete)

Absolutely mint and perfect! Only a 9.99 bin and 4 bucks shipping. Best BIN I've done in a while. There's another renovation title down.

[Mattiekrome]

Awaiting a complete "vindicators" NES Tengen find on eBay. But that will probably be all I can get until at least the weekend.

[Avatard]

I saved an orphan SNES mouse at Goodwill today. If anyone needs it PM me.

Woah! Carey! LOL

Take pics of this Box you got, im interested in seeing it, by Genesis 2 Box, do you mean a Genesis 2 System box with Sonic Spinball Bundled?

[Sothy]

Saw a Ceasars Palace for Genesis at the thrift store.. blah what the hell 50 cents.... It was plugged into a Sonic And Knuckles for whatever reason and only the Ceasars palace was priced so got both for 50 cents... Good price but nothing exciting. I did want to play sonic knuckles tho so guess that worked out well...

Also, I gotta ask again, anyone with a Genesis 2 Sonic 2 Box? I need one, hardcore, to the extreme, max.

SNES - Final Fantasy Mystic Quest $2.99
SNES - Ka-Blooey $2.99
SNES - Battleclash $2.99
SNES - Super Adventure Island $2.99

all the games came with their manuals. from the look of the cases and the labels put on the cases, i thought these were ex-rentals, but there's no way they were (or if they were, they weren't rented). carts are all perfect, and manuals show minimal wear.

ka-blooey any good? looks interesting...

[Kejoriv]

I havent been able to find anything good lately in the wild. I have been selling like crazy on Ebay though.

[Big Papa Husker]

I found another goodwill in my town and found Super Puzzle Fighter 2 Turbo, Complete for $5. Not bad I guess.

[GrayFox]

Project Rub?

Bah, what a lame name, for once I like America's name more.

[Julio III]

Sonic Adventure 2: 10th Anniversary Birthday Pack arrived in the mail today. The actual game is still sealed but the bonus stuff has been used. Its in excellent condition and it was a nice surprise to find that the booklet has English as well as Japanese writing. Also comes with a music CD which is good in places, the vocal songs are rubbish

Also picked up Polarium for the DS.

Project Rub?

Bah, what a lame name, for once I like America's name more.

Sounds too much like a porno game for my liking...

Curiously, what is the game about?

I wanted one of these for the longest time and flipped when I saw this at the local Salvation Army today. Was originally $40, but they gave me a 50% student discount instead of the normal 20% (they weren't even supposed to start giving student discounts till next week too but I got it anyway....and I'm not even a student anymore) And that it came with the Sega pack module was an extra bonus. :P

Now if I could just get my hands on the Turbografx module for it.

I almost picked up a laser disc at a garage sale this last weekend, it was only 15 bucks. I figured I would pass on it.

But was it a Laseractive player? ;)

[towerofsong]

Well I found all this in my loft, hurrah

The first 30 or so issues of the Official Playstation One Magazine and with Demo CDs. woo. Even got the first one, jackpot. Forgot how bad 1st generation PS1 games looked
A not for resale Alien Trilogy
A lone Doom demo disc
Tekken 3 Collectors Edition demo disc
Some Gremlin demo disc thing with Actua Soccer, Actua Golf and Loaded on it
10 or so CD32 demo discs plus mags (has to be the thinnest gaming mag ever)
About 15 Dreamcast Demo CDs
A guide for Shenmue
A Sony NetMD
An Ultimate Play the Game collection for the Spectrum ZX, has all the best Ultimate games on it...thats my weekend sorted
An old dusty poster of Monty Pythons Holy Grail and Blazing Saddles (on one poster)
lots of dust and a dead bee...it shall buzz no more
I'd put a pic up but its all rather dull looking

[Lord Contaminous]

Just got "Super Shinobi" (Revenge of Shinobi-J).

I play it in my Genesis, and it still registers it as "Revenge".

I'd hate to imagine what my Genesis will do just in case I get Kujaku Ou 2/Mystic Defender-J...

[Jibbajaba]

Hit up another thrift store on the way to work. Found a loose but minty mint copy of Warrior of Rome for 50 cents. Between this and night trap, I had a good morning.

Chris

[josekortez]

During most days, I hate my job (I'm a traveling salesman now), but today was one of those days that I actually enjoyed it.

At the same country thrift where I found the bare Saturn with the battery ripped out, I lucked up and found the rest of the former owner's collection. This is what I got:

Bootleg Sampler (disc only)
Daytona USA (complete)
Daytona USA: Championship Circuit Edition (complete)
Duke Nukem 3D (complete)
Enemy Zero (complete)
Hang-On GP (complete)
Maximum Force (complete)
Myst (disc only)
NBA Jam: Tournament Edition (complete)
NFL Quarterback Club 96 (complete)
Nights Into Dreams (not for resale, jewel case, complete)
Quarterback Attack (disc only)
Resident Evil (disc only)
Road Rash (complete)
Romance of the Three Kingdoms IV: Wall of Fire (disc only)
Sample Cuts (disc only)
Street Fighter: The Movie (complete)
Striker 96 (complete)
Sega Saturn back-up (memory card?)
The Need For Speed (complete)
Tomb Raider (complete)
Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 (complete)
Virtua Fighter (jewel case, complete)

Everything was labeled $1.95, but I flirted with the girl at the counter a bit, and she rung everything up for $10.97 total! @_@

What a way to start a Saturn collection! These babies can join my unplayed Japanese Konami Arcade Classics game that I will play as soon as I get an ST Key (I think that's what they are called), some cords and some controllers.

I don't think anything listed here is rare, but I believe I got a really good deal...

[Cauterize]

Smoooooth! 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-)
heh pure skill!

[josekortez]

Thanks, cauterize. To be completely honest, though, I think both the counter girl and these games would require a good swabbing with alcohol and Goo-Gone before I'd be willing to deal with either of them...

[SuperNES]

i'm getting a Sega CDX from my friend for 18 bucks. pretty good deal eh?

[Cauterize]

Thanks, cauterize. To be completely honest, though, I think both the counter girl and these games would require a good swabbing with alcohol and Goo-Gone before I'd be willing to deal with either of them...

im guessing the alcohol for the girl right? tut tut ;)

Heh anyways awesome finds if you ask me!
if you dont want:
Romance of the Three Kingdoms IV: Wall of Fire (disc only)
Need For Speed (Complete)

Let me know!

[grimbal]

In the mail from Ebay:

Ren & Stimpy Fire Dogs w/ box - $10 after shipping


Also swung by Gamecrazy and ordered Spikeout: Battlestreet for the Xbox. Not sure if they'll get it but doesn't hurt to try. :)

[Slate]

Thanks, cauterize. To be completely honest, though, I think both the counter girl and these games would require a good swabbing with alcohol and Goo-Gone before I'd be willing to deal with either of them...

I thought alcohol dissolved CDs.

I'd suggest trying alcohol on a dead CD first if you haven't tried alcohol on CDs yet.

@_@ Good gawd!

[leorange]

attack of the "2"s at goodwill today: $3.99 each for NES dragon warrior II and mega man 2.

[Cirrus]

A couple of longbox games:
Kileak - The DNA Imperative : $2.50
King's Field: $2.50

Four cheap Blackbox NES games, loose:
Golf
10 Yard fight
Kung Fu
Tennis

Those were $1 a piece.

Finally, my 2 SNES finds, which I am proud of:
U.N. Squadron $2.50
and.....
SHADOWRUN $2.50

I was so pumped, because I haven't seen this game since I started collecting! (I had it as a child.) So, anyway, I'm excited about it. Great game, and so cheap.

[Xexyz]

SHADOWRUN $2.50

I was so pumped, because I haven't seen this game since I started collecting! (I had it as a child.) So, anyway, I'm excited about it. Great game, and so cheap.

So how is the SNES ShadowRun? I know where I can get a nice, clean copy on the cheap but am reluctant in doing so. I hated the Genesis ShadowRun so much that I've become too skeptical to even think about purchasing the SNES one.

It is very, very good. A lot more streamlined and smooth than the Genny version, although not quite as complex and deep of a system (less stats, etc.) Much more of a Zelda-like adventure really, but 2.5 D perspective like Fallout, Diablo, etc. Honestly one of my favorite games.

A totally different game than the Genesis version, I should add. Night and day.

From the guide: "Futuristic cyber RPG. Also released on the Genesis, however the two titles play completely different. The SNES version is generally referred to as the better one. Packaged with a poster."

[SuperNES]

it never dissolved any of my CD's... i just got some PS1 nascar game with a label right or the disc, and alcohol took it right off with no damage to the disc. (wait, were you talking about the shiny side or the label side? i meant the label side)

[Red Hedgehog]

Yesterday, I picked up a complete copy of Urban Strike for Genesis for $2 at a thrift store. Also, traded in my black GBA SP, some disc-only PSX games, and 3 GBC dupes I had for a Classic NES GBA SP at Gamestop. I'm wondering now if that was worth it since the new GBA has a dead pixel and a chip in the screen (only noticable when turned on).

Also, got a complete Super Metroid for $12 shipped off eBay. Will have to see what condition it comes in when it arrives...

I couldn't get to the thrift store today and Tuesday is generally when they have lots of new stuff out. Hopefully I can go tomorrow and good stuff will still be there.

[Atarian75]

Went to the Game Crazy 3 for $15 sale way late, but still managed to get...

Robocop 2 (NES)
Baseball Stars (NES)
Tengen Ms. Pac-Man (NES)

[dreamcaster]

Sega MD 6-button controller - 50c

[-hellvin-]

i'm getting a Sega CDX from my friend for 18 bucks. pretty good deal eh?

Awesome deal, I'd love to get one that cheap. Kick ass avatar BTW!

As for me, I'm gonna hit a few key places tomorrow and hoping for a nice score. Hopefully my genesis boxes I bought on ebay arrive that the lady forgot to send =\.

[Damaramu]

I just picked up the following after work lastnight:

Bomberman Online (complete, disc mint $4.99)
Raycrisis (disc only but in perfect shape, $3.99)
MSG: Encounters In Space ($26.99)
State of Emergency (don't laugh, it was $5.99 and mint)
Gradius V ($19.99)
Phantasy Star Collection ($14.99)

The manager of the EB told me that they were going to stop carrying Genesis games when the merger with Gamestop is completed, so I'm probably going to go back and pick up all their Genny games that are complete w/ boxes and such. There were about 10 or so running about $3-5 ea.

[Policenaut]

Nes

I was referring to the shiny side. I've never tried it out myself, though.. I'd rather not risk it.

I wouldnt consider that a slow start, im envious! I <3 Takara Racers!

[josekortez]

Some of the discs had some nasty sticky crap on them that I'm sure would come off with Goo-Gone and/or alcohol. I mix the rubbing alcohol with water to dilute it before I use it on them though...

[slip81]

Good day at Gamecrazy

SNES
Tetris 2
X-Men Mutant Apocolypse

PSX
Kartia
Bust A Groove
Point Blank

N64

Thank you 3 for $15 sale :D

[Red Hedgehog]

Passed up Odyssey 2 Quest for the Rings today. The box wasn't in the best shape (the string on one side was broken and it wouldn't close properly). No game or instructions, but had a bunch of plastic pieces and about 11 coins and two boards. If I had an idea of what a complete one looked like I might have picked it up, but as it was, it didn't seem worth it (even for $1)

[-hellvin-]

Great stuff today at gamezone:

Sega CD Sourcebook - 5
SNES - Breath of Fire II Manual & Map - .50
SNES - King Arthur's World Manual - .50

NES - Laser Invasion (complete) - 4
SNES - Final Fantasy III (complete) - 40

Finally got a complete FFIII. Time to sell off my boxed copy. I was happy with the games and manuals, everything was nice and mint.

Sweet, after loading up the FFIII cart it looks like this one's the gau/relm glitchable cart unlike my other. Yay!

[leorange]

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

from a thrift store with designs on being a boutique that i can't remember the name of in west hollywood. they're all shrinkwrapped, though the home run box is squished a bit. left behind 3 more sea hunts and 3 boxed 2600 footballs, because there's only so much space i can justify destroying in my place with froggo games and the like...

later found the star wars bonus material dvd from the trilogy box set on its own for $7. i have dvd burns of the laserdiscs and am in no particular hurry to get the box set, so this was nice to find.

[GrayFox]
