    Default Midweek finds - April 21 to April 25

    Got Crazy Taxi for PS2 brand new from Toys 'R Us for $29.95 AUS. I'm on a roll - that's two brand new games in a row (got Conker's BFD new last week).


    Can I make it three? (dreamcaster highly doubts it...)

    Working Atari 7800, with controller, AC, and RF cables, and 3 games.
    Over 100 loose and boxed 2600 games, some quasi uncommon.
    A stack as thick as a phone book of 2600 game manuals
    A shopping bag filled with original 2600 paddles and sticks
    A DB9 (Atari2600/Genesis/SMS) joystick extension cable

    All for the princely sum of free. =)

    Today was tax free day at the my local second hand store, which I think it should always be like that because it's second hand stuff. (15% off) So I picked up the following.(All prices canadian)
    RBI Baseball 1 -$3
    RBI Baseball 2-$3
    Super Dodgeball-$3
    Ice Hockey-$3
    Mario Paint -$7.50

    I was waiting for a day like this to get some of the common NES games I didn't feel like paying the extra 45 cents per game.

    Got Theme Hospital (PSX) for $6 from a pawn shop today. Only played around with it for a little bit, but it looks like a real fun game so far.

    Also got a SD Gundam Dimension War manual for Virtual Boy in the mail as part of a trade. Now I just need the box to make my copy complete (anybody have one for sale/trade?).

    Found a small privately owned gamestore I'd never seen before. Stopped in, and was amazed to find that they have games from 2600 to current. Picked up:

    Saturn TurboKey (1M/4M Ram cart) - I would have preferred an official one, but I'm tired of waiting to play metal slug - $25
    Illusion of Gaia(SNES) - $8 - loose
    Kid Klown in Crazy Chase(SNES) - $4 - loose

    Took advantage of gamestops 3 for 2 used sale again and picked up:

    Maken X(DC) - $6.99 - complete
    Gunstar Heroes(GEN) - $5.99 - missing damn instructions(...if anyone has a spare set, please pm me)
    and got for free S-Video Monster Cables for my PS2!

    Of course, I used my 10% off card on top of this. Including Tax, I got the whole lot for about $10.

    Just bought Neo Drift Out and Over Top MVS carts, hopefully they'll get here by the end of the week.

    Just got Metal Slug and Metal Slug X MVS carts in the mail, but Slug X doesn't work with my Phantom converter. >

    Someone already sold their GC Ikaruga back to Gamestop, so with my discount card, I picked up a basically brand new Ikaruga (for the GameCube I'll be getting from the wife for my birthday...woohoo!)for only $31.49.

    Also found a used copy of the new (and crappy) PSX Dragonball Z game for $12.99 and a PSX vertical shooter called Mobile Suit Light (I think) that has 3 babes with rifles for cover art (can't tell what it has to do with the game, but they're kinda cute) for $9.99.

    According to the Gamestops in my area, giving both the sale and the 10% discount is a terminable offense for any employee.

    Odd. This is the second time I'd done it at that particular location (I was wrong before, it's a funcoland). The first time I did it, it was the general manager who rang me up, and, like I said, he also gave me the discount. Maybe it's just different at your store than it is here.

    @goodwill hunter:

    Do you mean "Mobile Light Force"? If so, I think there was a thread a while back saying that that is actually some high profile Japanese shooter, ported by a crappy company to the US. Apparently, they completely removed the story of the game, and added the shitty cover art that you describe.

    You are correct sir....the babes on the cover must have distracted me from the word order in the title....a pretty decent shooter, but I've been spending most of my time on Ikaruga...babes or no.

    i actually made a pretty good find today in the wild. one pawn shop here has TONS of sports games and nothing else, all are marked $5 each. i went in today and they had a bunch of different snes games: i noticed about 5 final fights and some dk's and a bunch of other non-sports games. i found 2 that i didn't have that were worth the $5 each to me - secret of mana, and act raiser 2. when i went to pay for them, the guy said $5 for both! not too shabby
