March 2010 Finds

[PapaStu]

I didn't know there were two versions of this. Is one more rare than the other?

Also... here are my finds so far...

The Blockbuster version (one w/o silvery title) was exclusive to BB for a period before they made a 'regular' version available for sale to the world. It's much more uncommon than the standard release, though I don't think most people know/care that there is a variant to it.

Found Theresia on DS at Micro Center for $12.28. I've no idea how they determine their mark down pricing to come up with a number like that.

My first find I've posted. This was the best eBay find I've had in a while. Mega Man x3 and Manual for $23.65 shipped.

Really cool story attached to this is that I've been planning on buying a copy of this for my best friend since 4th grade, because I remember back when we were young he was a huge mega man fan. He had saved a bunch of money to buy Mega Man X3 when it came out but it was so short printed that he couldn't get a copy. He told me that he even wrote letters to Nintendo asking if he could buy a copy, and they actually mailed him back (but couldn't sell him a copy because it was a Capcom game)!

Needless to say, I figured picking him up a copy this year for his birthday would surprise him a lot. I figured it'd be expensive but I got really lucky and got one with a manual too.

Check it out!





What I'd really like to do is somehow track down a box so I can give him a complete one for his birthday, so if ANYONE knows where I could track one down I'd definitely be willing to buy one. I saw from completed listings on eBay that there was a box that sold for about $20 so I'm hoping to track something down like that (but would be willing to pay a little more as well).

That would be the greatest present ever. That is awesome.

- DOS on Power Mac 8100's card by Reply boxed

What the - this is a physical extension card that allows you to run DOS on a Mac system? Is it a CPU card of some sort?

Yes, it adds a Cyrix or Intel 486 CPU, SVGA video and other support needed for DOS, Win3.x and possibly 95. It works on Power PC 7100 and 8100 machines.

I have that silly DDR drum pad. It's completely stupid yet it works pretty well. Except for freeze arrows.

Also, you're going to regret buying Criticom.

Trust me.

[Tupin]

Not much today, just something I've been wanting forever. I paid $30 for an Arcadia Supercharger and have been spending the afternoon playing games like Pepsi Invaders, Cake Walk, Music Machine, and Crazy Balloon on an original system.

I love this thing.

Oh, and I also found a Magical Quest with a ripped label for $3. Not bad.

[Smashed Brother]

Received in the mail today from ebay:

RAD: Robot Alchemic Drive (PS2) - complete; $10

[gamedude45]

Yeah they are pretty stupid but for $4 i figured i'd give it a shot and i was surprised how well it worked (except for the freeze arrows of course) it's good to know that i'll be able to play ddr if I break my leg lol.

Also, you're going to regret buying Criticom.

Trust me.

I already regret buying Criticom and Resurrection: Rise 2. I wasn't expecting much from these games but I was expecting something that I would be able to enjoy for a while. Oh well atleast I got NBA JAM that almost makes it worth it.

Picked that lot up for $100. He was willing to take that because he lives two blocks away from me and everyone else wanted him to drive somewhere.

Everything is in decent condition, Persona 2 and possibly Xenogears are the only ones I'm keeping.

Yeah, said I wasn't going to buy anything but this was too good to pass up!

[pseudonym]

Hah, nice purchase. If you ever want to sell that Persona let me know.

[darkslime]

Probably won't unless I somehow come across another copy that's in better condition, will let you know.
