Killer Instinct NOT FOR RESALE - GB - Cart only - 2.69
B.C. Quest for Tires - Colecovision - Cart only - 1.79
B.C. II Grog's Revenge - Colecovision - Cart only - 1.79

Not bad for not having any finds in a while.

I also bought a loose Wico Red Ball joystick for the 2600 for $2.

be carefull with that power supply, it isn't the correct one that goeswith that system.

[RoyVegas]

Picked up a sealed copy of Dr. Mario off Craigslist for $25.

What's more interesting was the fact that he had a sealed and pristine copy of Super Mario RPG for SNES. I tried to get him to part with it for $100, which he considered but ended up saying no to.

[Kitsune Sniper]

Finds:

Yet ANOTHER USB extension cable - $2
The Guyver and The Guyver II (live action movies) on VHS - 50 cents for both
Dark Side Of The Moon / Wizard of Oz DVD-R thing + a random Jack The Ripper puzzle game - $1

That was it. Nothing much else around...

[DDCecil]

My first find for 2010 was Great Wall Street Fortune Hunt for $5. Now all I'm missing is Power Lords then I'll finally have a complete, mostly cart only U.S. O2 collection!

Game Genie for NES

What's with the gold Game Genie? I thought they only came black. Is any version worth anything in particular?

[Deadman]

Yeah, I noticed that it is an AT&T power supply, probably from an answering machine or phone system. Before I bought it from the "no-returns" store, I plugged it in and made sure that it worked, which it does. Is there something else I should be worried about with the PS?

[Gameguy]

Dark Side Of The Moon / Wizard of Oz DVD-R thing

Dark Side of the Rainbow. I completely forgot about that, I still haven't seen the whole thing yet. Nice find.

That's an NES Game Genie, they all look like that. I've never seen a black one before.

[BetaWolf47]

That's an NES Game Genie, they all look like that. I've never seen a black one before.

They don't look all like that. Search around for images... there are black ones.

[heybtbm]

My first purchases this year...



Got the little Mega Man at TRU.

[Kitsune Sniper]

They don't look all like that. Search around for images... there are black ones.

Uh.

That's not black. That's gold, but it looks dark because of the scanner.

[thunderkid]

They don't look all like that. Search around for images... there are black ones.

It is different. That one there is made by Camerica. The other gold one is a Galoob one. I had no idea Camerica even made Game Genies.

-AD&D Pool of Radiance

PS1 Longbox Games (I LOVE longbox games )- $2.99 each:

War of the Monsters (PS2) - $3.99

I was pretty sure the Sega CD was shot, but they gave me a 10-day return window for it. It was pretty dusty and neglected looking, and then when I got it home I noticed that it had no screws on the bottom (I'm assuming someone tried working on it). But after pulling the correct power supplies from another Genesis and my Master System the whole unit fired right up and seems to work great, I tested a couple of games real quick and everything booted right up. I'll clean it out since it's open and then find some replacements screws, and then it's probably going up for sale or trade since I already have an X'eye.

EDIT: Nevermind, thunderkid pointed it out.

[PutUrQuarterUp]

It is different. That one there is made by Camerica. The other gold one is a Galoob one. I had no idea Camerica even made Game Genies.

Galoob was the US distributor for Camerica.

The Camerica version is Canadian. That's the only difference, they're all gold.
