May 2008 Finds

[Kitsune Sniper]

I got:

Duke Nukem Atomic Edition (PC, jewel case) - $3
Infocom Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Invisiclues booklet - BRAND NEW - $1
Adobe Pagemaker 6.5 Plus (Mac, CIB, for the store) - $3

Fedex dropped off Guitar Hero II complete bundle just now. $14.50+ shipping off ebay. Total cost: $30.20

Pretty good deal since Gamestop charges $34 for the game alone. I really wanted the extra controller for rock band, but this deal was cheaper then the guitar alone. I guess some people don't know how to properly list on ebay.

Few things lately:
At a garage sale picked up Power Golf and Vigilante for the TG16, both boxed and $1 each.

fat PS2 for 25, but DRE. Hopefully just needs a cleaning, otherwise I might be able to return it.

Sold a fat PS2 to a woman with a broken slim, which she gave me. It has a melted laser lens.

King's Quest 1 on 5.25, appears complete.

Joystick NES controller and good grape N64 controller

$15 NES at goodwill. 2 controllers, but no cords.

OK, so here's the pic of the Batman Forever box set



Wish they had been a bit more creative about what to put in it - I mean really, a poster and some postcards. Hardly gonna have people queueing round the block, is it?

Still a nice set to have though!

Thanks for the pic.

Another copy of Mega Man III - 2.99, I've seen more of these lately than ever. Kind of weird actually. Oh well, trade bait.

A few packages came in today:

[Famidrive-16]

I got the following for 5 bucks today:



Sorry about the shadow in the pic.

What's the third cart?

[Kitsune Sniper]

What's the third cart?

That's an official SNES cleaning kit.

[Nitrosport]

It's just a snes cleaning cart. It opens up and there are more cleaning accessories in it.

It was fine for the Japanese, it should be fine for us too. I'm the same way with TG-16 games, if it has the jewel case and booklet I consider it complete. With the box I call it boxed complete (Cosmic Fantasy 2 for example). Nice pickup on Final Lap Twin, my favorite version of my favorite racing series (I include Pole Position and Pole Position II as part of it as well).

Good to know, guessed you'd know something about it. I found it strange there was no Keith Courage games around, but happy with Final Lap Twin. Looked promissing and from the online videos and discriptions, just can't wait to get some power cable. I really don't want to but I may have to resort to a variable adaptor from the Shack. Hope you're enjoying Worm War I.

Yeah, Final Lap Twin is a great console-spec port of the series and the RPG-like Quest Mode is something totally different than any game before or since. Sure it's not the most amazing racing game out there but it plays smooth and fast. I've been having fun with Worm War I, the smooth graphics really have impressed me.

Got some Famicom Disk System games in the mail today from DP member ckendal, all in incredible shape.

Exciting Baseball (loose)
Famicom Grand Prix F1 Race (case, cover art)
Golf Japan Course (sleeve, case)
Golf US Course (sleeve, case, manual)
Nazo no Murasamejou (sleeve, case)
Volleyball (complete, with Soccer on Side B)



$33.00 shipped, been playing Nazo no Murasamejou since it arrived. Seems to be a Famicom Disk System renaissance going on at the boards lately.

Found Republic Commando for XBOX on a Target endcap for 9.98... And picked up a 2nd copy of Crimson Skies for XBOX so I could link the 2 XBOXs in the house to one another for competitive play.

[Smashed Brother]

I stopped into this random 'junk' store in downtown Manitowoc while shopping with the misses... turns out that this guy has quite the lockdown on classic and retro titles anywhere outside of Green Bay or Milwaukee! While I was here, I picked up:

Herc's Adventures CIB(Sat) $8
Panic! CIB (SCD) $8
Mohawk & Headphone Jack (SNES) $6
Sunset Riders (SNES) $5

He also had Return Fire (PS1) for only $4! But, when I began molesting the case, the labeling was coming off and there were no instructions . That explains why it was so cheap...

He also had a couple of Final Fantasy 7's laying around... for the low price of $60. A CIB TurboGrafx... for $70. An NES toploader, with dogbone controllers (not sure of price)... a sealed version of Romance of the 3 Kingdoms IV (Sat).

I also saw an import 16-in-1 Game Gear cartridge... anyone know what this is about?

I don't mind no pictures when the finds are pretty common and don't usually take them of my normal finds but he specifically said that it was something that no one he knows of had seen and I found that kinda funny.

Picked up yesterday:

Street Fighter Anniversary Collection (xbox, new) - $7.99
Stunt Race Fx - $3

If I were some johnny-come lately who signed up yesterday, I would understand this .. but given that I'm probably among the longest standing members of Digital Press, I would hope not to be suspected of baseless idle brags. Especially in relation to PAL MD / MCD / 32X matters, which I probably know more about than pretty much anyone here (with possible exceptions of anagrama and Cauterize).

Hopefully I didn't come off this way since I meant it as a joke anyway.

Joke aside, I always like the posters who put the extra effort into providing pictures. It's not that I don't believe people who don't post pictures, I've just gotten bored of reading walls of text finds. I generally skip all finds posts that don't have pictures to compliment the words.
