Weekday finds , May 16th - 20th

[captain nintendo]

Ok I didnt see this topic yet X_x


So I found an Intellivision with 17 games and a SNES model 2 (mini)


Both for the rather nice price of 20 dollars :D


Rarest game in the Int lot was probably Pac Man (r4)

[98PaceCar]

Finally got a hold of the RE4 Chainsaw controller for GC. $50 at EBGames. Also for a boxed copy of Sim City for SNES for $3.

[thegreatescape]

Some half decent Mega Drive scores for once:

From Gametraders:
Strider (complete)- $9 Au

Cash Converters:
Universal Soldier (complete with accolade cards and all)- $7 Au
Mystic Defender (complete)- $5 Au

Best thing is that cashies have heaps more games than last time, theyre no longer behind glass, AND it turns out that someone I went to primary school with works there. Cashies has been redeemed :)

[s1lence]

Finally found a copy of fire 'n ice for the NES at hi -score in maplewood. It used to be raven games I guess. 14 bucks

[Chainsaw_Charlie]

Rougly 100 SNES games.
Now begins the impossible task of putting them all in the database. @_@

Oh yeah, and I also got NFL Blitz 2000 and International Soccer Superstar (or whatever its called) 2000. Both complete for the N64.
I was pretty happy to find a rental only in the wild. And its mint too!

[legov8]

I'm just wondering, how much did all those games cost?

Jumpman Jr! That is one awesome SNES haul!


I'm just wondering, how much did all those games cost?

Alot. LOL
There were some decent games in there though, like 2 of the Final Fantasy's, Genghis Khan. A few R6's, but nothing outrageously rare.
I'm on my way to completing all of NES, SNES and N64. This was a big help. ;)

[Cauterize]

Nothing amazing really, traded in a spare Megadrive and few other items for this stuff as im completely cashless right now!

[Simply Dave]

Iridion 3D (GBA-loose) Free

I found this game half-buried in the earth at a local park. Some kid must have dropped it and from the looks of the game it had been sitting there for a few days. I didn't think it would work at all--there was dirt and mud caked up on the contacts and it had rained for the better part of the day on top of that.

I took it home, cleaned it up real nice and it fired right up. Not that great of a game though. LOL

[SKVermin]

Dropped by my new favourite store again tonight, looking for more boxed NES games. No such luck, but I did add another system to my collection.

Sega Genesis II with 2 controllers, AC adaptor, RF Unit and one controller extension (very nice condition!) $10.
Caesar's Palace CIB $4
Kid Chameleon CIB $4

[Hornet70]

Nothing too big, found a MASH for the 2600, thats about it

[PentiumMMX]

Wow I had the best haul ever. I got a N64 expansion pack. Hah, 100 snes games are nothing to that :D.

What's the big deal?

[Quintracker]

At work last night I found where they threw a couple posters from the electronics department away. Needless to say they are now my property! :D

Metroid: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v166/Quintracker/metroid.jpg

Pokemon (double sided): http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v166/Quintracker/pokemon.jpg

The N64 cart is just for size comparison.

[Mattiekrome]

Well its been quite slow here over the past few weeks, but today I did manage to get to the SERF shop (thrift store) before it closed at 4:45pm. Of course this is the same shop that wanted 45$ for a Genny system. I only stop from time to time to see if there are any "cool" coffee mugs (yeah I know, it sounds weird)... But this afternoon I went in and found a Rampage NES complete with box/manual for $5.00. Sort of rough condition, but still a spot in my collection that is filled :)

[Jumpman Jr.]

What's the big deal?

I beleive your sarcasm meter is broken.

[Kuros]

I wish I could find stuff on the weekdays, but the only time I can seem to find items for my collection is on the weekends. :/

[bizbiz]

-Lemmings (NES) (factory sealed) ($30.00)
-Zen: Intergalactic Ninja (NES) (loose) ($2.00)

I had a major deal that was supposed to go down today, but I have to wait until Saturday now.. it's an Intellivision with 80-100 games, "all boxed". While this deal is not 100% yet, I do have confidence that my seller will come through. This could be VERY BIG, as in, many rare games, or it could be VERY SHITTY as in 10 copies each of eight crappy games.

I will post a picture if the deal goes thru on Saturday. In the meanwhile, here is a picture of Lemmings and Zen that I received in the mail this week:

Whoa... thats one haul and a half.

As for me im gunna have to wait till the weekend. Thats when all my finds usually are.

[Big Papa Husker]

Speaking of the Pico, did they rerelease it or something because I remember last summer my TRU had a whole shelf full of them for $29.99.

Anyway, heres what I found:

Best Buy
Tales of Symphonia (CUBE) (NON PC)- $19.99

Good Will
Albert Odyssey: Legend of Eldean (Saturn) Complete - $6

Not bad...

[s1lence]

I was joking :hmm:

[Mac-Abre]

Wow... I walked into a pawn shop today and found a mint non-GH of Twisted Metal 2 after digging through piles of games. Nothing big, but I got it for $5.

It gets better.

I'm ringing up for TM2 and I see a huge plastic bin with PS games behind the counter. I ask if they are for sale and they are.

Koudelka - complete
Tales of Destiny - complete
Ogre Battle - complete, unit handout AND memory card stickers included.

$30 for all.

Is this Caesars Palace as good as the SNES one? If it is I may need to keep an eye out for it.

I haven't actually played the SNES version, but from the limited exposure I got to this last night, it looks pretty good. Decent range of games, password save to keep your $$$, though the control sometimes seems a little clunky. But a glance at the manual probably could have smoothed that out. It's actually the only gambling game I have in my collection, next to INTV Las Vegas Poker & Blackjack and A2600 Casino. But they're too limited in scope to really compare.

[pookninja]

[Slate]

3 complete PS2 games, $AUS10 each:

new jeans, don't even ask how much

and I bought a MegaDrive 2 at a game store
for $AUS40 - a tad over the odds, I know,
but I've been dying to get one for weeks now,
and I figured it'd be convenient, and hey, these
guys test these things, right?

I get it home, and it has the wrong AC adaptor
with it, and the RF switchbox is munted.

ALL GAME STORES MUST DIE THAT ARE CALLED
GAME TRADERS AND ARE IN CAROUSEL.

Not that I'm bitter.

EDIT: OK, they made good, and tested the works before
giving it back to me, but still.. Jeez.
