[MrSmiley381]

Devil Summoner officially got here from Ebay. I just purchased my Jap AES Samurai Showdown 2 for $29 shipped.

OK, so they're not really finds. Bu I got Guilty Gear X For $13 disc only and a new Capcom Vs. SNK EO 2 for GCN for the same price.

Those weren't really finds for me :/

[DigitalSpace]

Arrived in the mail today:

GBA:
Super Mario Advance 2: Super Mario World (loose) - trade

Thanks Nez! :)

[klausien]

I havn't actually got anything new, I jsut felt like starting the topic :P

Yet again, someone starts the topic with no finds. When will this madness end?

Anyway, I picked up Blood Roar 3 on PS2 & Bloody Roar Primal Fury on the 'cube.

[josekortez]

All this stuff was purchased at, ugh, Gamestop, but no one will read it if I put it in Weekend Finds...

Deception III: Dark Delusion (PS1, complete) - $4.99
Meteos (DS, complete) - $19.99
Nanostray (DS, new) - $29.99 (Finally!)
Pelican Tournament Pro Stick (GC, new) - $14.99 (Now, I just need to figure out how to adapt it so I can use in on the other systems.)

[cityside75]

Went for my morning run this morning, and on my way home, I found a Sega Saturn sitting in front of a house by the garbage @_@

I had to run the last mile or so carrying the Saturn which looked interesting I'm sure. Got it home, plugged it in and not only did it work, but it had Rise 2 Resurrection inside (which blows by the way).

Too bad I just dropped $30 for a Saturn a few months ago x_x

[Mayhem]

English dude in Japan passed it along to me...

AWESOME!!

Wich model - First model (With oval buttons) Or second model (With round buttons)?

[Lemmy Kilmister]

I'd strongly suggest anybody with a CompUSA to check out their 2 for 25 bin. They have some pretty decent games in it. I myself Picked up both Outrun 2 and Oddword: Stanger's Wrath for 25 dollars total there.

[Amankhan]

American McGee's Scrapland (PC) - $2.99 Canadian

Nice find. The only gaming thing I've found while curbing was a broken CD-I. I usually take a walk sunday evening for trash day.

[fpbrush]

...but it had Rise 2 Resurrection inside (which blows by the way).


Maybe that's why they threw it out LOL


Great find regardless. Now your other Saturn has a friend :)

[youruglyclone]

yoshinoya(very weird but it's my kinda thing) and gladiator road to freedom (critically maligned but fun for me.)

[Kevin H]

It was the first model. The one I bought a while back was the second model, so now I have one of each.

NICE! I found my Dreamcast on the ground a couple of years ago now. Not only that, but I found $40 in seperate notes blowing around the side of the road at the same time, which I used part of to buy Sonic Adventure. Best. Day. Evar. The Dreamcast is the best working one I've ever had the pleasure of playing (very low hum, plays every PAL game it's eaten with no trouble, even boots some NTSC games without a chip) and it's got a box and everything now. Whee!

Back on topic, I found my sixth Japanese Mega Drive game today! The Flintstones for $4 (AUD). I'm really surprised with how many I've found (all boxed) considering I've never imported or used eBay. They've all been local in the wild finds. I haven't even run into a fake yet.

[Jumpman Jr.]

My find kills all of your finds.
In fact, its so good, that I should have made a new thread just to post it and then get it locked up by the mods.
I got a package from "Liz Santulli" today:

Thats not the ONLY sexy thing in that photo ;)



What? I was talking about the Arcade cab!

[nesgamer]

I went into Game Stop today and found RE 2 and RE 3 for Game Cube, both at $39.99. I didn't get them though. Do y'all think I should go back and get 'em? Oh and they are used.

EDIT: Plus I picked up Duke Nukem: Time To Kill while I was down there.

[Jumpman Jr.]

Super Mario Bros. Cab all the way!!!

Aren't Resi 2 + 3 quite old now? I'm not sure about in America but I don't think they should be that price for new ones.

[nesgamer]

So should I grab both of them or not?

[squidblatt]

From a yard sale

NES:
Abadox
Sky Shark
Lee Trevino's Fighting Golf
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
Winter Games
Cobra Command
Karate Champ
Roadblasters
Treasure Master
Silent Service
Werewolf
Air Fortress
Vice Project Doom

N64
Body Harvest
Quest 64

I don't have a NES or N64, so I have no idea what these games are. Any good ones? I spent ten bucks, but I'm not really interested if I got a good deal. Just if I got some good games.

Oh, and I would go ahead and get RE2 & 3. They're not rare right now, but they might become hard to find again.

[jwl]

Genesis:
NBA Jam T.E. - Sealed $1

Playstation:
Discworld - Complete $10 :D

PC:
Ultima VI - Complete $2
Manhunter New York - Complete $2

DVDs:
Lord Of The Rings: The Return Of The King Extended Edition - $20

Laser Blast (Atari 2600) - complete, $2.00AU

[Mayhem]

So should I grab both of them or not?

The PAL versions are easy to find. The US ones were less so, but both recently had a reprint from Capcom so you should be able to find them new for that price or under.

[The_Kodiak65]

well, I stopped at good will this morning, and found this-
ac adapter, snes $0.49
Ultamete Doom and Doom II, $0.99 each
and Super Mario Land For gameboy $0.99
not too bad, but not great

I love the stickered NES.

[Jumpman Jr.]

:D :D
Just one day after getting my sexy DP shirt.. I get three packages that are ALMOST as sexy as the shirt:

Package 1:

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y68/JumpmanPOE/Caltron2.jpg

Package 2:

http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y68/JumpmanPOE/NFLBasball.jpg

Caltron was from captainintendo, NFL Blitz SE was from pacmanhat and World Series Major League Baseball was from a guy on AtariAge.

Getting Caltron 6-in-1 puts a huge dent in my list... As does another boxed R5 for the N64.

Now, with World Series Major League Baseball for the Intellivison in my collection, I am only 6 games away from completing the library.
8-)

Good will in my area charged me $2.00 for AC/AV adapter. sucks.

[Ryaan1234]

I went over to a thift store, the Barkin Basement, I looked through the cd's I said they had (on an earlier weekly finds thread) I found these for $2.00 each:(tell me if any of these pc games are any good)
The Best of Erich Kunzel & the Cincinatti Pops
Forbidden Forest 3
Everquest
King's Quest: Mask of Eternity

They have an area with a lot of outdated pc stuff and vhs's my sister went ahead of me and went to a shelf with pc controllers and SHE REACHED IN THERE AND DUG OUT A NINTENDO DOGBONE CONTROLLER!!!(the one for the top loader!) @_@ I'm so jealous!
I also found an Epyx 500xj controller for Nes. It has a rarity of 0 in the guide. How rare is it? Please Nes experts tell me. :/

They're fairly common. Obviously not as common as a regular NES pad, but a cool find nonetheless.
Its kind of annoying to use though... and its really delicate, so don't drop it on the floor or anything.

I paid $1 :)

[suckerpunch5]

I got a couple of things.

For NES:
Final Fantasy (with instructions, no box) - FREE!

For Genesis:
Operation Europe: Path to Victory 1939-45 (loose) - $4 (R6!)

Some other stuff too, including a box of free NES games, but nothing else worth mentioning.

[GamecubeFreek]

I decided to check out a swap meet (even though I never have any luck at those darn things), and came back slightly disappointed. I bought the only three games I could find at a reasonable price that I needed.

Indiana Jones' Greatest Adventures- SNES, 3 dollars loose
Time Pilot- Colecovision 1.50 loose
(Japanese) Starfox- Super Famicom 4.50 loose

I could not believe the high prices some of these places had. Something is wrong with a swap meet when the average price of a SNES sports game is 7 dollars...

Also yesterday I went to a local indie game store and bought Krull for Atari VCS. I paid 7 dollars for the loose cartridge, but he wouldn't accept anything less.

[joshnickerson]

Nice finds for me this week
http://www.rydia.net/joshnickerson/dp/wk0803.jpg

I found a hole in the wall EB Games, and loaded up on some NES goodness. Yoshi, Skull & Crossbones, and Xevious were mine for under ten bucks.
Then I stopped at Gamestop and got a complete unboxed Pikachu N64! It's in excellent condition, and judging by the shape of the controller, it was hardly played with (AC adapt. and the AV cords aren't in the photo). Not bad for twenty bones!

[Steempy]

I did something completely against all my principles.. actually paid more than $30 for a PS2 game.. the horror.

PS2 Devil May Cry 3 new at K-Mart for $AUS44

My dad took me over to the salvation army to see the dock sale. I picked up some miscellaneous items including Arthur: The Quest for Excalibur Macintosh version for $2. I saw the PC one go on ebay for $103. Is this game rare? I also went back to Barkin' Basement and found a Tomy Verbot for $3(can't get it to work :( ) I also found a Mega Fire Controller, Genesis AC Adaptor, some PS1 A/V Jacks, and a Genesis RF Hook-up for $1 each.

Awesome ebay snag Amy :D

Also, I randomly got tossed into Florida, for a week, and well, I'm posting from here as well now. Crazy shit.

[Slate]

EDIT: Wrong topic.

[grimbal]

Correct.

I went back on Friday to buy the rest but the store had pulled all of them. I don't think they could have sold 15 Maddedn 2005 guides in 24 hours. LOL
