    I got the Super Nintendo yesterday at Goodwill for $9.99, there is no yellowing on it what so ever.

    The Atari 2600 I also got yesterday from Value Village for 19.99, came with 3 controllers. The Atari was so dirty I had to take a picture of it before and after. The inside of the Atari was disgusting...all this unknown brown stuff...looked like a battery exploded inside of it. Found a few little spiders inside of it also. Took awhile to get everything cleaned.

    The Intellivision I got for $50, got marked down from $100 at my local thrift store (If it doesn't sell within 2 weeks, its half off) came with 36 games and the organizer.

    Final Fantasy 8 was $5 totally mint.

    Today I also bought Mega Man 2 and Mega Man 3 for the NES from a pawn shop for $5 a piece.

    Also picked up 5 Atari 2600 games for $2 a piece, nothing to amazing just commons.

    If anybody is curious, I uploaded pictures of the Atari before and after I cleaned it. Just click this link.

    I've had Ataris, Nintendos, and even N64 look like that.

    I found SNATCHER for SEGA CD at Goodwill in Houston, today. Case and manual in great condition.

    No disc, though. Talk about a high turning into a low.

    I asked if they might know what happened, but they said what I already knew - it had been stolen. What frustrates me is that someone would steal a disc to avoid paying $2.99 for a complete copy of Snatcher. I asked if I could keep the case and they said sure.

    So free Snatcher case and manual (glass half full)!

    Responded to a Craigslist ad:


    $50 for everything, including the N64 cords, a rumble pack, and two memory cards. But finally, at long last, OGRE BATTLE 64!!! I am sooooo happy to have finally found one! With manual even! Let me tell you, they are in immaculate condition. This is only the second OB I have seen in the wild, the first was at a GameStop and in pretty crappy condition. So with this and THPS, I now only need THPS3 and I will have my entire want list of US N64 games!

    Nice find! Weren't those gold controllers special somehow? I'm probably confusing things since I'm really not well informed on N64 stuff, but it is worth double checking.

    It appears that Snatcher was...snatched.

    When I saw the gold controller, my heart almost skipped a beat. When I went into his apartment he had a bunch of consoles old and new, so I was hoping maybe he had gotten the gold controller from EGM, but alas, it is just a generic gold controller. However that is replacing the old gray one on my N64 set.

    All I got was a complete copy of Windows 98 SE Upgrade today. There was nothing of interest at the flea market. :\

    I hate that. Half of the cases in my Goodwill seem to be empty. I can just picture the types of people who steal the discs too, and I want to punch them in the face. I'd bet money that whoever stole that Snatcher doesn't even have a Sega CD, they just saw it was a game and decided to steal it. It's Goodwill people! If you absolutely have to steal something go to Walmart, leave Goodwill alone.

    I normally don't report on what I pick up at GameStop but I was surprised on my lunch break the other day when I walked in and found 2 Wavebirds. They aren't uncommon or anything but they normally don't last when they are in the stores either so I was pretty happy. Also, I picked up a copy of Mobile Light Force 2 which I couldn't find for some reason for a little while even though it is just a $4 game.

    Here's some recent stuff for me --

    Hanshin Tigers version Neo Geo Pocket (Why can't they make a Chiba Lotte Marines Version?):



    A lot of 14 N64 games I won off Yahoo Auctions -- US$35 shipped! The picture is pretty dark -- but the lot has two games I quite wanted, the Densha de Go! and Animal Crossing:



    And two new MVS games, Blazing Star and Sengoku 3:

    I picked up some Saturn stuff from someone at work today. It is a model 1 unit with cables, manual and 1 controller. It came with a few complete games:

    Gex
    Croc
    Tomb Raider
    Dragonheart: Fire & Steel
    Virtua Fighter Remix
    Saturn Choice Cuts sampler

    I got all of that for $30. Not a great deal, but some stuff that I can use.

    decent morning at garage sales and a couple thrifts.



    DDR and Time Crisis were marked 3 each and I got them for 5. Unlimited Saga and PSO were marked $8 each, and I paid 5 each and also bought BeyBlade for a dollar. Not sure why I got it other than it is mint and, well, it was only a buck. Nunchuck was $5 at a GW, and Sonic I also only got because it is mint, CIB, and was 1.80.

    Was kind of bummed that a TI-83+ I picked up doesn't work, but it was at GW, so I can return it (unless someone here wants it for 10 shipped).

    I must say that you did an excellent job of making that dust bucket shine. You probably got the same feeling I get everytime I clean a new loose Nes, Snes or Genesis cart
