July 2009 Finds

[Sonicwolf]

Got a PlayStation game at a Goodwill yesterday:

Worms World Party (no manual) - $2.99

Thats awesome. I really wish I could find that game.

5 Neo Geo AES games for $100.....Craigslist has been great for me this year with NEO GEO Finds.

Last Resort
Magician Lord
Fatal Fury 2
King of Monsters 2
Eightman

All complete in box.

Got a couple of things lately:



This was a Craigslist posting for "Super Nintendo Games - $10" that I called about. Not a super fabulous deal, but the games are in great shape and I needed them for my collection anyway. I got:

Killer Instinct (SNES) and manual
Spawn (SNES) and manual
Clay Fighter (SNES) and manual
Super Game Boy converter
all for $10



Turns out a friend of mine who I've known for years joined a marketing company that does a few things for the videogame industry. She brought me each of these because she knows I'm a gamer geek:

Bionic Commando metal lunchbox
Lord of the Rings Conquest - limited edition Witch King Sword replica
Resident Evil 5 "Snow Globe" - one sealed and one open
Cost? FREE!

Still sad about that. Saturn stuff is hard enough to find down here. Saturn PADS doubly so. I only have that 3D Controller, I want a regular gamepad.

Opposite here. When I got my Saturn last year, it was bundled with two of the model 2 Saturn controllers. Other than the Dreamcast controllers, they're probably the nicest controllers Sega ever made. Thing is, I want a 3D controller already!

Gameboy E-Reader bundle! Came with the box, the GB Advance Indigo system, the e-Reader, all the manuals, 5 DK Jr. cards, and 3 other cards. The box didn't have any of the packing material, but that's cool.

Total cost - $19

Very nice find. Where did you find it? Also, your system didn't come with Urban Champion? I thought Urban Champion was a pack-in game. Be warned that nobody really trades around e-Reader cards so good luck finding them! Best bet is to ask a friend who collects Pokemon cards if he/she has any Pokemon e-cards, so you'll at least have some.

This bundle was in the bargain bin at a very overpriced game store for a long time - probably a year or more. It used to be $49 and then I went in that day, it was marked at $19 so I grabbed it. I had been watching it for awhile and it just never came down from $49 until last week. No Urban Champion on either the packaging or included, so I'm not sure if it was supposed to be there or not.

One of my local Gamestops had some of the e-reader card packs on their wall up until a few months ago, so my plan is to go back and see if they still have some in their backstock somewhere. My kids have tons of pokemon cards, but I'll have to ask if they have any e-cards. Did they come packed in to regular card packs?

Thanks

Razor Freestyle Scooter (Dreamcast) complete - $1

I don't know why, but this one has eluded me for years. My kids are really into the Razor scooters and we've heard that the Dreamcast version of this game is far superior to the N64 version that we have.

[BetaWolf47]

My kids have tons of pokemon cards, but I'll have to ask if they have any e-cards. Did they come packed in to regular card packs?

They were just regular Pokemon cards back during their release. They came in six different boosters:
-Expedition
-Aquapolis
-Skyridge
-Ruby and Sapphire
-EX Sandstorm
-EX Dragon

Dot code:


No dote code:


Also, on a sidenote, see how the Sneasel has two strips of code? The small strip on the bottom contains its Pokedex data, while the strip on the left contains part of an application. When certain cards are scanned together, they can make music similar to a looping program, or allow you to play a minigame.

These guides on GameFAQs explain things very well. You have to give that guy props.

Yes, Prince of Persia is finally down to $7.48 at Target. Fear 2, Chronicles of Riddick, Ninja Blade and a few others will be in the $7.48-$14.98 price range very soon too. As for Star Wars: TFU, I got it from Game Crazy, which is basically Hollywood Video. Gamefly had it for $14.99 a few months ago, but that was for used copies. I prefer my games factory sealed so thats why I waited.

Wish we had target up here in Canada...I want Riddick and Ninja Blade for that price, dammit! lol.

best month for me!

i went back by the Goodwill today to check on the computer games that I saw the other day. The Sega stuff was gone, but someone had brought in some PS1 stuff. They had some magazine demos and stuff, but for $3.33 each, I thought it was a bit much. I did pick up the following PC games for $2 each:

King's Quest II
King's Quest IV
King's Quest V
King's Quest VI
King's Quest VII
Quest for Glory I
The Beast Within

And I grabbed one PS1 game, Intelligent Qube for $3.33. Not a bad day.

Toys R Us currently has dropped the price of Ninja Blade to $19.99, which is the same clearance price Target currently has it at. So your Toys R Us should atleast have a good deal on it.

[Dreadstar]

Picked up Super Wrestlemania, Jim Power, Jurassic Park 2, and Thunder Spirits (SNES) all boxed with trays at GW for 2.99 each. Super Wrestlemania has the manual, and JP2 actually has the manuals for JP1 and 2 in the box. One game was in the puzzles and the others were mixed in with the VHS tapes.

[SEGA_Queen]

I picked a few things at my local pawn:

Grandia III (PS2) for $7.99 - It's complete, but the manual and case had a bit of dirt in them. I shook them out and they look fine now.

Pac-man World 2 with Pac-man Vs. (GC) for $11.99 - When I got home, I discovered that you need some Game Boy Advances and GBA to GC link cables to play Pac-man Versus. Auuugh! Why couldn't Namco let us use regular controllers?

[c0ldb33r]

And I grabbed one PS1 game, Intelligent Qube for $3.33. Not a bad day.

I guess! What's the going rate for IQ nowadays? Not too long ago it was ~$50.

I had a GREAT day. I only got one thing, and I got it by mail, but it was my...

POWERPAK!!! BAMMM!!!!



I absolutely love it. My wife got it for my birthday (which isn't until August) but I can use it now. She just wants to wrap it up for my birthday. We also got a 4GB Sandisk Ultra II CF card for it, which loads games very quickly. It's expensive but I think it's the neatest thing
