I picked up two loose NES carts:
Pooyan (Hong Kong Version) $3
Popeye (Hong Kong Version) $3
And, I also got a Sega Channel Cart for $7.
The guy's son told him that the Sega Channel cart couldn't be used anymore, so he gave me the old "Oh, it's a collectors item!" story. But, I didn't bite.

I know I've already talked about it but I haven't actually bought anything in *so* long I have to say it again (all in CAD of course)...
Genesis: King's Bounty: The Conquerer $5
Genesis: Centurion: Defender of Rome $5
PSX: Vandal Hearts $20
PSX: Final Fantasy Tactics $15 (non-Greatest Hits version).
VCS: Asteroids $5
Yeah I already had Asteroids. But the label was just incredible. And I think I've managed to secure both releases of it now (the new one has the copyright screen, I'm pretty sure my other one doesn't but I haven't checked yet).
RPGs are *so* hard to come by in the GTA that I didn't mind paying $20 for Vandal Hearts. I'm assuming I'll enjoy it anyway (I've read nothing to make me think otherwise).
I was *really* stoked about FFT - it's the first non GH version I've ever seen. (NOT an exageration).

On saturday I went into 2 stores, at the VOA i got a NES TOP LOADER with 2 controllers 1 of them a dog Bone controller with power supply and RF switch for $4.99. The funny thing about this find is I was just in the store the day before and they had no video game stuff. Then I drive up near the store the next day to to drop my son off at his freinds house. I only had like 2 minutes to run in the store and check to see if thay have anything new. I almost said forget it because I was just in there yesterday, but something told me to go in and check. So I run in the store and I look in the 2 or 3 spots in the store where they put there electronic stuff and there it was a nice Nes Top Loader. I Asked the lady when did this come in and she said they just put it out on the shelf like 5 minutes ago. So I was like this is awesome. So then I had to drive my other son down to the indoor golf driving range. So I drop him off, so now I have like 30 minutes to wait so I go over to the Salvation army store. This store is bad for overpricing video game Items and then they tend to put all there video games stuff behind glass. So i am walking buy the vcrs and tvs and I spot a Sega Saturn core system no power cords or cables but i bought it for $4.99. So I take everything home. I hook everything up and both systems works fine. So I am greatful for these 2 finds in the wild. Happy Hunting Gamers.
:-D :-D @_@

Down to the Babbage's, so no super deals. The only "find" part was getting these items new (in each case, the store's last one). Came back with
Gradius Galaxies ($19.99) Replacing the one I lost a month ago-aaaaaugh!
Typing of the Dead ($14.99) This game rules with an iron fist.
Dreamcast Mouse ($4.99) This will help greatly when I get my "Dreamcast Excel Emulator"
