December 2009 Finds

[oleanhosting]

Picked up a NES Unit with 3 games and 2 controllers and light gun for $10. Already replaced the 72 pin and disabled the lockout chip on it. Works great now

[Deadman]

You've never found any 5200 games in the wild? I bought a whole box of them last summer for $12.

Nope, not really. But at the same time, I don't really consider specialty videogame shops "the wild" either...

Stuff I got for the past few weeks

I've wanted that World Conflict game for the longest time now, the box is awesome. But I'm sure the game sucks.

Took my sister to GameStop to use her gift card, and we took advantage of the B2G1 used deal (today and tomorrow, both in-store and online). She got Spore Creatures and Spore Hero Arena (cart-only for both), and I got Star Ocean IV (complete). After edge card, I got Star Ocean for $35 and she got both of those for $22.50.

[PentiumMMX]

Taking advantage of Gamestop's B2G1 sale, I decided to get some games for my DSi. Some of the games I was looking for (Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, Kirby Squeak Squad) where only cartridge only, but I did find some I had been interested in trying (Prices are after discounts):

- Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor (DS. Complete in near mint condition): $22.49
- The World Ends With You (DS. Complete in near mint condition): $16.19
- Contact (DS. Complete in near mint condition): Free
- DS Universal Transporter (Holds the system, AC, spare styli, and 20 games): Late Christmas gift from my parents

I had been hearing about how good TWETY and SMTDS was and I remember hearing Contact was similar to EarthBound, so I had to scoop them up. I'll probably start playing one of them later today...until the new episode of Doctor Who comes on.

I've been wanting a DualShock 3 forever, and it's like $4 difference to get one without Uncharted. I didn't really like the demo much, but for that deal I'll give it another try. Still cheaper than buying one in-store....

[Baloo]

At Goodwill today my brother found some SNES games:

Super Mario Kart - $3
Mario Paint - $3
Mickey's Ultimate Challenge - $3
Rocko's Modern Life - $3

I now finally have Super Mario Kart, been wanting to get it, but I didn't want to pay the $20 it goes for.

... and about 15 Deadpool comics that I needed. 3 more to go to have every DP comic released since Circle Chase. Woot.

All in all, a real nice day. The Guy Games should pay for all we bought today too. This also doesn't include any pawn or thrift shopping. Cool. I'd post a pic but my phone is currently routing my net access so maybe I'll take it and edit later.

My gf bought the limited edition boxset of Tekken 6 (PS3) for my xmas present. Now, I just have to get ahold of a PS3!

While visiting the parents up north, I stopped at the local Wal*Mart and found Dragon Quest 8 (PS2) brand-new, with the outer box and everything, for only $10!

2 games I've wanted for years, and I finally get them. And lemme tell ya, these games are fun as hell. I've been playing them nonstop since I got them on Christmas Eve. Excellent job, blaCk





Seiken Densetsu 3 - Repro with English translation and 3-player support.

[Balloon Fight]

Really sick finds portnoyd. Reminds me of 02/03 when you were posting a ton of pretty cool shit every finds thread. :P

[Xexyz]

-Vandal Hearts 2 (complete) $10.00

Great stuff in general, but I can't recommend playing this game enough. Excellent, excellent SRPG. I hope you can get used to the quirky combat system, it seems to be a turn-off for many. Don't let it collect dust for too long.

[PapaStu]

02/03? BF.... you wern't posting here till Sept 03.

He probably lurked the site for a while before posting. I know I simply read through stuff before I joined and started posting years ago.

[Carey85]

Ain't found shit.

[darkslime]

Portnoyd - Don't sell The Guy Game on eBay! I tried to, and someone reported it which gave a strike against my account and makes my items lower in search.

[Flashback2012]

Stuff I got for the past few weeks

I need to pay better attention to PSP releases, I had no idea Silverfall was released on the system.

Judging from the lack of ESRB rating and the 12+ in the corner, that's an EU release, correct?

[Deadman]

A long dry spell comes to an end today while I was taking the kids out to spend some of their Christmas gift card money...



From Play N Trade:

Puzzle Challenge (PSP) complete
Donkey Kong Country (SNES) loose
Xmen Mutant Apocolypse (SNES) loose

All three for just under $13 with the B2G1 sale and discount card.
