Man it's so nice to find good old games you never put on your list, or forgot about. I was looking for some colecovision games to ship and I found some good genesis games I forgot about, Ms. Pac-Man, Dynamite headdy, and Chase H.Q. TG16. Made me feel all nostalgic inside. Anyone get that when they find stuff?

I've had that happen a couple times...good stuff. Especially when I get back to my mom's house and hunt around in storage.
It sucks the other way around knowing you have a game and not being able to locate it. I know there are probably 10 or so gameboy games I had as kid hidden somewhere in my mom's house, along with my old record collection. One pops up now and again as my mom continues to clean out storage but I wish I had some sort of game radar to track where they all are. At least last time I was there I found my old boxed super scope that had somehow survived undamaged in all the cat feces that was in the part of the basement.

Haaa! yeah. I was looking for Deja-vu for GB for almost a year and I found it in some gameboy case I have lol. Also happened with Donkey kong country gba.

I still have no clue as to the whereabouts of my 2600 carts. They just disappeared. It's odd since I still have my ColecoVision carts and they were usually with the 2600 collection since I played 2600 using the CV adapter.

I had misplaced MVP Baseball 2004 and Animal Crossing for my GameCube for a month or more and was going nuts until I found them underneath my couch. Now Tetris Worlds has gone missing but I know I'll find it eventually...probably when I'm not looking for it. :)

Yeah, I recently re-discovered a bunch of old handhelds that I had kicking around, as well as a bunch of complete SMS games that I had put away. I need to get to photographing them and sticking them up for trade...but I don't know if there's a big demand for classic handhelds right now?
BTW, a GBA Konami Arcade cart of mine is still awol....it's small size means it's probably lost for good (already replaced it so no biggie). Those portable carts are REALLY easy to misplace!

I lost my copy of Tony Hawk's underground for awhile. It may have just been a month, But it could have been 6.

I remembered another lost and found store of mine. I took a trip with my wife and somehow misplaced my tony hawk ds game and thinking I left it in the hotel I had figured it was long gone. Half a year later my wife ended up misplacing her mp3 players and while searching her car found her wedding band and tony hawk ds. Glad I hadn't rebought it because I was close a couple times. Oh yeah, my wife did end up finding her mp3 player later in her gym bag, but as this was not long after she had surgery she hadn't been to the gym in a while so she didn't think to check there.

This guy films an expedition into his parents' basement (I'm assuming he doesn't live there LOL) , and re-discovers some old PC games and an Atari 2600.

I find stuff in my collection that I never checked out all the time...stuff I didn't know I had..
I buy so much via flea markets that many things just get put aside...

I just made the mistake of double buying a game that I already have (Landstalker), since there was a couple months I didn't keep good track of my total genesis games count.

Yeah I did the same with NBA Live '98 for the PSX though its understandable that I got it mixed up with all the other 90 something games on the PSX.

Man I still got 2600 games I haved tested from trades hehehe. I also thought I had Cadash and SF2 for TG16, but forgot I traded em months ago. I still had those recently in my trade/selling thread lol
And GBA games are always getting lost in my house...damn small carts!
Half a year later my wife ended up misplacing her mp3 players and while searching her car found her wedding band and tony hawk ds.
Lost your wedding band? Eh, it will turn up someday.
Lost your MP3 player? Dig through the car in desperation!

Heh! I did the same thing with the game Light Crusader recently...although it was a boxed copy...so that leaves me with an extra loose copy (if anyone needs one just PM me)
