December 2009 Finds

Can a mod make this a sticky?

Kijiji ad: Atari 2600 6-switch woody light. Came with 2 coleco gemini controllers, 2 sets of paddles and 36 games, the standouts of which are:

Ghostbusters (someone wrote "Ray Parker Jr." on the label )
Gremlins
Time Pilot
Mr. Do
Pitfall II

$20 for all

Dock sale again today. Not much there. I did get a Super Fun Happy Happy Joy Mega Power Player III thing in the box for $3 and a minty, boxed copy of X-Men Children of the Atom for PC for $0.50.

Is Children of the Atom worth anything? There's a copy on eBay for $38, $42, and $45, but I've learned not to trust eBay's fixed price listings when it comes to value..

I sold a copy in a jewel case with a manual and back inlay for $20 about a year and a half ago.

The game is godawful. I'd buy a copy for myself if I could.

I went away on a trip to chicago and came back with a fair number of goodies. Consider that I am from a small town so some of the items are not available new here anymore.

Magna Carta PS2 - 19.99
Grandia Xtreme - 12.99 (disc missing upon arriving home)
Chaos Wars - free - (disc also missing)
Ar Tonelico II - 29.99 (new)
Stella Deus - 19.99
RPG Maker 3 - 12.99 (a gift for somebody else)
Guilty Gear Overture - 4.89 (new)
Final Fantasy Chronicles - Echoes of Time - 4.89 (new)


The Irresponsible Captain Taylor (all episodes) - $29.99
Castlevania: Dracula X SNES - 60 (I paid a fair bit for this, but I've been looking for it forever so I'm happy, my boyfriend and I went halfers on it)
Eternal Eyes PSX - $3.99
Evolution 2 DC - $4.99


I think that was it. My boyfriend will be calling the gamestop where they forgot to put the discs in and hopefully picking them up. I'm a little pissed because it'll be awhile before I get them. I just hope that he actually gets the disc because that's a fair bit of money lost.

Good luck, you may need it. I've heard lots of horror stories about these kind of things with gamestop. There's an active thread about gamestop/EB at Atariage: (see post #4 in particular)

My mom got me some Xbox games a couple Christmases ago without the discs inside. We just went to that store, showed them the credit card number and they looked it up and gave me my discs.

Other than that I am sure they could look at the computer's readout of the store copies and compare it to the copies on hand.

He JUST called back, said they have the discs there on hold for him and he's picking them up now. But yeah, I consider myself lucky. I think part of the reason why it was indisputable is the fact that they only have 1 copy of each so. They seemed really good about it, the problem for him is that it's a 30-40 minute drive there, so I feel really bad.

I have it for Saturn, don't really think it's that bad of a game, just rather sluggish at times and the moves are a little tough to pull off.

No, you don't understand - the DOS port is GOD AWFUL. The game is decent on the arcade and Saturn. The PS1 port appears to be broken, and the DOS port is worse, or so I've heard. I couldn't get the thing to run in DOSbox when I got my hands on a copy.

As for me, I picked up some sort of F-1 racing game for the Sega CD for a buck. It's complete.

I'd try out the darn thing but right now my CD drive is dead and I'm too lazy to open my computer and replace it.

Thats too bad but the games are still worth the price IMO.

Not much today. Payed just under $20.00 for all 4 together.

Fallout - PC, after a bit of trickery and patches, got it running on Vista. Guess I'll check out what all the fuss was about.

Got a new-to-me TV today, a Sony rear-projection, 47" 4:3. I think that will become my new gaming TV, since it's lo-def, and I only have lo-def consoles. The best part about it was the price--free. My brother's friend's dad's brother-or-friend (can't remember which) was getting rid of it, and giving it away was cheaper than taking it to the dump.

2 sega genesis protos (longbords, sports games)
a cib MINT not for resale fire emblem
