August 2008 Finds

[FOnewearl]

All of this stuff is actually old finds not from this weekend



Bugs Bunny Crazy Castle 2, The (PC) - .50?

I bought a generic portable system soft case about 2 to 3 years ago at a yardsale it was marked a buck I think I offered .50 maybe .25. I never noticed until this past winter that it had Bugs Bunny Crazy Castle 2 hidden away inside!

Defender

This is from the Atari 2600 bundle I bought at a yardsale about 2 months ago.

I found Defender in the back of the car about a month afterwards and keep forgetting to add it in one of my yardsale pictures. All of the 2600 games were in a shoe box and Defender somehow fell out.

SNES Console Only and Broken
Donkey Kong Country
F-Zero
Maximum Carnage
Star Fox
Super Mario World

Friend let me have this stuff a few days ago. He couldn't get the SNES to work so I told him to bring it down to my house and I'd have a look at it so he brought down just the system since he knew I had all of the cords and he also brought down all of the games he had with it. I tried it out and it did the same thing for me (just a black screen when you turn it on) so he said I could have it since it's broken and he has no use for the games.

Non Find BS

First sale I went to today (Saturday) advertised a SNES & GameBoy games. I got to the sale only 2-3 minutes before it started as it said no early sales. SNES looked like it had all of the cords and included a Super GameBoy & a SNES Advantage and was marked $50[!]. Beside it was a box with about 20-25 regular GameBoy games each marked $5 but little to nothing that I needed. I would have grabbed a few if they were cheaper since they all had cases and a good chunk of them had manuals. I picked up Star Wars & Empire Strikes Back which were the only decent games I didn't own. I went up and offered $5 for both which was countered with a simple no so I put them back. This easily sets a record for me on the highest IAP I've seen on individual GameBoy games & on a SNES at a yardsale.

I went up to Value Village today, they had tons of games but again...no systems. I picked up 9 Colecovision games, the price on the tags say 5.99 but The manager gave em to me for like 3 bucks a piece since I bought almost all of em, pretty good (by the way, I wasn't going to take them for 5.99, I negotiated the price down to 3.00)

They all come with manuals except for one, BC's Quest for Tires.



BC's Quest for Tires
BC's Quest for Tires 2: Grog's Revenge
Carnival
Destructor
Space Panic

really funny, im on vacation and visiting my sister in nj, we live in pa. i was taking a random drive to find this berlin farmers market. I could not beleve what i saw on the way there. Next Level Video games, the owners are dp members right? and they had a tournament this weekend. thats so weird.

I went up and offered $5 for both which was countered with a simple no so I put them back.

I absolutely hate sellers like that. They put an arbitrary price on something and now it's suddenly worth that much and they won't take any less for it. I say, good for them, they can keep their overpriced junk (not saying those games are junk, just stuff people try to sell in general) forever.

Only game purchase lately was Unreal Tournament III: Collectors Edition for the PC new at GameStop in Richmond for $20. Gave it a run a few days ago and it's alright. Thus far I prefer the 2k4 more but we'll see as time goes. The sniper riffle gives me lots of head shots.

I want that, but there's no copies where I live. I'm sad.
