[Blitzwing256]

a pretty small but nice find this time:

http://www.green-ranger.com/nes/finds/supercpirate.jpg

just a run of the mill n64 nes on a stick.
this was the first time i found one with a "cartridge" plugged in.
what made it strange is the cart was alot smaller then a normal famicom cart, so I picked it up. it only ended up costing 2.50 (games were half off)

I tried removing the cart when i got home and it turns out it was just a strange casing with a board inside (see picture) it was one of those 12000 in one carts, always a neat find. this was the first multi cart i've ever seen with super contra (japanese version) and of all things it had paper boy as one of the other "main" games.

overall a fun find and it kept me amused for an afternoon.
plus playing duck hunt and hogans alley with a 35 millimeter "zapper" is always fun ;-)

One of the local Mexicali flea market vendors has a NES on a pad which has a cart on its side, similar to the one you got. Well, the cart slot is on its side. The thing is actually -two- pads in one. One pad holds the NES and cable connections, and the other pad (or a modified Zapper) plugs into it.

I wasn't really sure if the thing on the side was a cart or not until you showed this photo. Great find.

Payday yesterday!

Yesterday from Amazon I ordered New Super Mario Brothers for £25 and Liberty City Stories for £15. I had a free £5 voucher because I spent over £20 on one order before the 5th of June. So that was £35 for the two.

Then today I was looking around on Amazon and saw that Mario Kart DS was £18, so I ordered it.

I also saw that Super Mario 64 DS has come down to £18. I bought it at the start of the month for £23. Amazon has a policy where they refund the difference if a price goes down within 30 days of placing an order. It's not something they shout about. I've sent an email about it, so hopefully I'll get £5 back. :D

Edit: That was quick, they've refunded £5.

[DKTheArcadeRat]

I had 3 $10 gift cards to Toys 'R Us so I went there and picked up New Super Mario Bros. cost for me was only $7.09.

[McBacon]

Chris

Glossy finish on the outside, just like the white. We PAL gamers deserved a break :P

[Emuaust]

Pal as in the UK not us aussies im afraid, we only got the white one,
although we have had since the start of the month.

[50TBRD]

SWAPUSA is changing formats. They have everthing in their store discounted 30-50%. They had their SNES non-sports for 5 and their sports for 2.50. Select games are removed at 30% off their price like Gemfire, Ghengis Khan II, Kirby's Avalanche(way over priced), Mario RPG and a bunch others.

I felt like a was robbing banks. I picked up 5 games at 5 a piece. Spike McFang, Soldiers of Fortune, Arty Lightfoot, Breakthru!, and Sim Earth. I only needed Breakthru! and Sim Earth so I get to make a nice profit on the other 3.

[snes_collector]

Team Buddies- PSX- disk only- $7 at GameStop. And they had TWO copies!

Man, that's two R8 in one week, man I'm using up all of my luck.

[Cambot]

Wow, nice black DS Lite, McBacon.

Here are my finds from today:

I finally had a decent run of luck at a couple pawn shops. I returned to one shop where the store owner annoyed me in the past when he wanted something like $10.00 for NES carts because they were "older and hard-to-find." I decided to stop in and found these (all complete):

And then at another pawn:

The car boot sale this morning was bigger than usual. There were hardly any games, though. Someone had a load of old games for SNES, Megadrive and N64. But they wanted £4 each. They were mostly common, worthless games like Dragon and California Games. I got Super Bomberman 2 for SNES and Zelda: Majora's Mask, both complete. Not great bargains, but they're ok prices. I would have had Earthworm Jim 2 but there was no game in the box.

Then I got a few PS1 games from someone else for £1.50 each. Spyro 1, Spyro 2, and Croc.

Then Metal Slug 4 on Xbox for £3.

Mint Sam and Max Comic in a little comic bag, being in the bag I thought the guy was a collector and he'd want quite bit, but I 'm glad I asked anyway, 50p :)

This weekend my family(like very year) had a yardsale. My uncle had some PC games, and I bought a boxed Nascar game for 2 bucks, they had others also, but I didn't want them. He also gave me a joystick to play it with. Later in the day, as we were packing everything up, I looked in the trash can I he had threw to other games away! Being that a working game should never be thrown away, I got the rest of them for free.

Nothing special, but I done a good deed today.

[Xexyz]

Not too much for me this week. I'm trying to cut down on finds as I'm running out of places to store my games and systems... I stopped by GameCrazy earlier in the week to check out the 3 for $15 sale. I, among others, whiped them out pretty good the first time, so finds were slim. 6 games in total for $30 (and the fact that Dino Crisis and Tenchu: Stealth Assasins were already marked at $4.99 made things seem a bit lame...).

The longbox PS1 Resident Evil is complete, and was $1 at the flea market.

-1 controller extension cable
