    Damn, that's an amazing haul! And even more shocking, they're not all sports titles! In fact, there's very few sports games in there clogging up this great find! Great reward for two hours of work!

    Picked up a complete SNES Mr. Do! for $5.00 at a pawn shop. Decent start to the month!

    picked up as-is rose DS Lite from a pawn shop which I haggled from $40 to $30. They said that it would not stay on. I figured, battery issue, no biggie. Got home and changed out with my fiance DS and sadly, no dice. It will start up and get through the configuration, but after restarting it asks you to configure all over again. I had to go to class, but my fiance took a chance and called Nintendo. Turns out its a common issue and the system is still under warranty. They sent a fed-ex label with-in the hour.

    $30 DS Lite (No charger or stylus)

    Some networking for some old Windows 98 machines to run a DOS based rental application. Most of the time was getting a USB key to recognize on the older machine to back up a 200MB database and to write a batch file to automate the whole thing.

    Also, they had The Rocker on (or something like that) so that delayed me a bunch.

    (I got a free ginger ale too )

    Any games they pull in the future I get first dibs, too. They still have a ton of older games that are still getting rentals so that'll be awhile, but still - looks like I'll have a long term supply of free games

    $5 each or 10 for $25.

    Yes, really.

    I told her I'd buy out the store of what they had but offered to trade two hours of labour for the stock instead.

    This is what I got:

    I wanted to post some finds yesterday but my stupid ISP decided to block half the internet, and DP was part of that blocked half. Dammit.

    Anyway.

    Yesterday!


    $6! Kane & Lynch + Hitman Trilogy were $2 a pop, the bottom CDs were $1. I almost left empty handed, it looks like some douchebag CLEARED OUT all the games from the booths about a half hour before I got to the flea market. Every single booth owner that knows me told me this. Blargh.

    Today:


    $3 total. The two books are for Scans Daily purposes, the Panzer General game is... I dunno, and the CD is for MobyGames. :P

    I picked a few things up at Goodwill today

    Kid Icarus - $1.99
    Majora's Mask - $1.99
    Duke Nukem N64 Memory card, still sealed - $1.99
    Phantasmagoria, complete - $3.99

    The Phantasmagoria also has a players guide in the box. Does anyone know if this came with the game? I assume it did becasue it fits nicely in the box, but there is no mention of it on the box.

    Arrived in the mail today:

    PlayStation:
    RayStorm (complete, R7) - $12.43 shipped from Amazon

    This copy is in excellent shape. It's my second R7 on the PlayStation (the other one is True Pinball).

    I also received all 8 issues of ZAP!, the fanzine DP's White Knight published in the early 90's.

    What the - I once saw a Lara Croft memory card for the PS1, but a Duke Nukem memory card?! WTF!

    As for the strategy guide, no, it didn't come with one. However, Sierra sometimes packaged the games with the strategy guides, so maybe you got one of those rereleases.

    I've never seen this Duke Nukem memory card before either, but I think it's pretty cool especially since it's still new. Thanks for the info on the Strategy guide.

    There was also a Bill Goldberg shaped memory card which I happen to have one for both my PS1 and N64.
