[Videogamerdaryll]

Great finds!!
With all the rain I figured the Flea Market was closed. :? ..I didn't get much sleep,then I checked what it looked like outside this morning and it was a clear.
I decided not to go to the flea(I can only imagine what I missed) but went instead to my planned Pocket Bike Racing Practice.
Afterthat I hit the mall and Picked up Brothers In Arms EIB for $40.00 used with card..and BMT2...Around the mall a lot of Roads were flooded and it was rough getting on the highway because of it.

Raceway Park Englishtown Pocket Bike Practice.
Whew!! I had a Blast today...It was Great!!.So much FUN!!!

My Polini 910 Carena is a lot faster then I expected...and the one Chinese bike that I brought this time held up,ran good,not fast but nothing fell apart/broke or loosened-moved.

I took some video..,crappy-cam but enough to watch as the batteries kept dying on my Camcorder.

Some Pics if you'd like to check them out

Persona 2: Eternal Punishment (PSX) Mint - Like New $29.99
Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure (PSX) Mint - Like New $39.99
Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance (GBA) Cart Only $19.99

All from GameStop...

Persona 2 includes the bonus disc (and manual with registration cards still in tact) and both discs look as if they've never been touched/played/breathed on.

Rhapsody has the soundtrack and manual, and again, both discs look like they've never been touched.

I was quite pleased.

Hit the local SA, a couple of pawns, and finally EB. Came away with the following:

Kiwi Kraze
Snake, Rattle & Roll
Zanac

Genesis:
Ecco Jr.

SNES:
Tiny Toons Adventures: Buster Busts Loose
Weaponlord

N64:
South Park

Then I had a surpise in my mailbox when I got home. When I got my pre-ordered copy of SMT: DDS 2 it didn't come with the soundtrack. So I emailed Atlus and they said they would have to have copies of the pre-order reciept and the purchase receipt before they could send me a replacement.

But a few days later EB got some more in and I went in and picked my copy up. Then today I get a 2nd copy of the soundtrack in the mail from Atlus. :hmm:
Guess they changed their minds about needing copies of my reciepts.

NES:
Snake, Rattle & Roll


I love love love this game.

[Sailorneorune]

Arrived in the mail 10/15:

Sonic Adventure 2 Birthday Pack (JP DC) SEALED. I opened the outer box to read the cute little bilingual history booklet, but the SA2 game is still sealed. To open or not to open, that is the question.

Legend of Legaia, US PSX, complete.

Dragon Quest VIII demo disc, still sealed.

The Slayers Try DVD Collection, complete. The box has seen better days, but the DVDs work, and that's all that really matters.

Also found some rather nice games from some little hole in the wall in even-farther-western Kentucky; all of the games I bought there are up for grabs, along with some games that aren't mine... ;)

A well-spent vacation, if I do say so myself.

Just to let you guys buying all these games at Gamestop, Buy 2 Get 1 Free is still going on. With the Gamestop card that is. If you've got a nice Gamestop, they'll just let you rip out the coupon from the magazine in the store, and you can use it again, and again.

I've been letting customers do that for the past month now.
