Christmas came early this year... I attended a company party today... a new videogame magazine is going to hit newstands in Spring 2006. Be ready for it. A LOT of it's features will focus on FIGHTING GAMES... the first issue should have TEKKEN 5 DARK RESURRECTION and Dead or Alive 4 with in depth strats/information on the game... think Arcadia and Japan... that's the direction we're going towards... but anyways... more about the party... look what I got today! The CEO freakin' loves his employees...

http://static.flickr.com/42/74719246_497411aa18.jpg
3 Hori Arcade sticks...(and if you know me, I'm a huge fan/collector of arcade sticks).... Dead or Alive 4 stick for the 360, Fighting Stick EX for the Xbox, and the GCN Fighting Stick... :)

Great Christmas so far... :)

[McBacon]

A NES Max Controller Loose for 50p
Sealed Pokemon Zany Cards for Pokemon Mini (Christmas Gift for Friend) £1

[snes_collector]

I guess these will be my last finds(aside from Christmas presents) for this year, wasn't too bad I don't suppose.

GameStop:

Sim Theme Park(Complete PSX)
Street Fighter Alpha 3(disk only PSX)

I don't like to buy disk only games but I took something back and had to find something else besides STP

Software Etc.:

Chaos Field(GC, new)

Software Etc. had CRAPLOADS of freebies, I would have gotten it all, but I would have felt greedy. Maybe next time I won't be so nice :evil:

Anyway I got:

Gun Playing Cards
MLB/GameStop wistband thingy
Dance Dance Revolution Ultramix 3 Limited Edition Music Sampler
Jak X Demo
Ratchet Deadlocked Demo
Neopets The Darkest Faerie Demo

These are like "long box" demos not like any demo boxes I've saw you also have to rip the boxes to open them. But I've got one question, they all have a GameStop sticker on them, does this mean they were to be used in the store?

[Joker T]

Impressive deal on the Logitech gear Nesmaster.

[The_Kodiak65]

found a few things....
College Slam (Saturn, complete) -$1
NHL hockey (Saturn, Compete) -$1
Final Fantasy Tactics (PS1, Complete, NON-GH) -$10
and...
Star Ocean:the Second Story(PS1, Complete) -$22

not too much, but some good stuff

[dementia_]

Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicle (GCN)
Darkstalkers Chronicle (PSP)

$14.99 each

[Jumpman Jr.]

Got a nice loose copy of Crystal Mines for the NES. 8-) Needed that one too.

[Mattiekrome]

Also just found a loose SNES Tecmo Super Bowl at the Goodwill for 2 bucks... Label is sorta rough, but still a fun game :D

[-hellvin-]

Me and Nez hit up two kmarts for the 14.99 sale. I got two I really wanted:

CUB - Killer 7
PS2 - Musashi: Samurai Legend

sweeeet! Can't beat new games for 15! I would've gotten devil may cry 3, but I believe my sister got it for me for xmas so I passed on it. I thought about Oddworld as well, but since my xbox is broken I skipped over it since I may never get the chance to bag a 360 with the way it's going now =\.

[Nez]

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y221/a16btsuicide/new.jpg
$15 at k mart
Devil May Cry 3 only 1 I saw at 2 stores.
Brave Fencer Musashi
Metriod Prime 2
Oddworld Strangers Wrath

Gifts, thanks!
Realbout Fatal Fury Special
Maximum Pool

Good day for kick ass games. So much great shit it'll take me a year to beat em all!

[roushimsx]

Metal Slug 4/5 (PS2) for $20. I hated Metal Slug 4 and never intended to buy it, but everyone says 5 is the bee's knees so I figured the double pack was worth a look see at $20.

Hitman:Contracts (PC) for $10. Everyone says it's nowhere near as good as Hitman 2, but let's be honest...what is? After Hitman 2 and Freedom Fighters, there's nowhere else to go but down :(

Let's hope Freedom Fighters 2 is half as good as the first game!

[ianoid]

I managed:

Suikoden 2 complete at Gamestop for $54.
Incredible Crisis complete at GS for $4.50.
Lunar 2 complete at GS for $30 (not a great deal, but het, I don't know my PS1 prices so well.)

K-mart:
Eyetoy grove with eye toy $15
Super Mario ereaders 1 & 2 & Pokemon fighting $2.50 apiece and Mario Bros $1.50 (dangit I didn't need that last one)

Wish I'd gotten Oddworld Stranger there- they didn't have it.

Yesterday I did score:

4 copies of Astrocade Galaxy Invaders (I think it's called) boxed or sealed for $1 apiece.

Ultima 7 and Ultima 8 the CDs with all the add ons complete for $5 apiece.

$8 Midway Arcade 2 PS2
$8 Sega All Stars PS2 both complete. I'm going back hopefully to get the DDR with the eye toy compatibility complete for $8. Those DDRs don't lose value as fast as everything else, do they?

No pix. I love pix.

[Nez]

Metal Slug 4/5 (PS2) for $20. I hated Metal Slug 4 and never intended to buy it, but everyone says 5 is the bee's knees so I figured the double pack was worth a look see at $20.

Hitman:Contracts (PC) for $10. Everyone says it's nowhere near as good as Hitman 2, but let's be honest...what is? After Hitman 2 and Freedom Fighters, there's nowhere else to go but down :(

Let's hope Freedom Fighters 2 is half as good as the first game!

Funny I like Contracts a lot more then 2, so does a couple of people I know. 2 was just too damn hard, Contracts is a lot more forgiving. You can actually run!

[Kuros]

No picture for today but I got:

Mario Kart Double Dash - 8
Mario Golf Toadstool Tour - 8
Final Fantasy 7 (black label, complete) - 7
4 Nes games (Donkey Kong Classics, Captain Skyhawk, Life Force & Rad Racer) - $5

Raiden project was under another game I bought, it was under Tony Hawk pro skater that my nephew wanted and when I got home I noticed there were 2 disca and then low and behold, raiden project. The disc is flawless though, I'm happy.

Also forgot I got a complete copy of Phantasy Star IV for genesis for $5.

This crackhead guy I know is gonna sell me another Turbo Express for $40 CIB with 3 games.

[mills]

if your scoring so many Turbo Express's. please share the wealth!
Wish you would sell me one as cheap.

[Truffle]

My dad scored a Frogs arcade machine for $14 for me at a local auction.

Its in such awsome shape.There is no burn in on the monitor at all. Unfortunately the coin mechanism isnt working( Im 90% sure its the old wiring ) so I cant play her yet.

I wish I could find out more about this machine; too bad KLOV has so little info on it.

[GetImOliver]

I traded a co-worker of mine Super Mario 64 for a Harvest Moon 64. Pretty fair trade as far as I'm concerned =-D

[diskoboy]

complete Panzer Dragoon 1 (Saturn - $15)
and a complete Bangai-o! (DC - $10)

[josekortez]

Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath (XB) for $15 and another PS1 screen for $13 at K-Mart. Screen's up for trade.
