All I've bought recently was a copy of Ultima for the NES and an import copy of Macross VF-X for the Playstation. Now if I only had a modded PS1...

[namzep]

Today's pickups. Total cost of about $30. Been wanting a copy of Battlefront for awhile as I have been borrowing a friend's and I am sure he'd like it back.

edit: On a side not, I am pissed at Gamestop for putting Platinum Hits games in original release cases. This is the second time I've come away with games that they have done that with.

[VACRMH]

Picked up the official strategy guide for Symphony of the Night, and a PS2 to Dreamcast converter so I can use my Tekken stick with Marvel VS Capcom 2

Total damage - $9.43

And I'm getting a copy of Guitar Hero from a friend in a trade today, whee.

Recent buys. $20 got Xenosaga 2, 3 and a sealed Qix Neo for the PS1. My buddy was working at the local store tonite and he threw in a disc only Xenosaga 1. Suikoden Tactics was an ebay purchase for $10 shipped. Manhunt 2 was $29.99 at Sam Goody and the receipt kicked in a $10 mail in rebate (cool). Found the Caligula uncut for $2 at a pawn shop.

[PentiumMMX]

Included:
- Super Mario World (x2)
- Ms. Pac-Man
- Animaniacs
- F-Zero
- Black Bass

Non-gaming:
- A crapload of Magic: The Gathering cards: $80 (Yes, I like MTG, and it was worth it for 1,000+ cards)

[Nesmaster]

[Jimmy Yakapucci]

Stopped by the flea market on the way home from work this morning. Picked up a few Genesis games:

American Gladiators (CIB) $1.25
Asterix Great Rescue (CIB) $1.25
ToeJam & Earl (CIB) $1.25
Shining in the Darkness (CIB) $1.25
We're Back A Dinosaur's Tale (CIB) $1.00
Mickey Mania (Cart,Box) $1.00
32X Brutal: Above the Claw (CIB) $1.00

But the best find was at one of the first tables I looked at. I caught the guy unpacking his stuff and noticed some interesting stuff on his table. I found a Panasonic brand 3DO controller and an NEC TurboExpress. I asked him what he wanted for them and he told me $10 for the pair!

I got home and tried the TurboExpress out and it works fine. No typical weak sound and only 2 stuck pixels. For less than $10, I consider it a great deal.

I never really intended to collect for SegaCD, but then came across this for a good price. This little unit is just too cool, so now I guess I'll keep an eye out for some good games for it...
