Finally they had these games, plus a couple of DC games as well but those are way overpriced. Played ThunderForce for an hour of so last night and Homefront for a couple after the Mavericks game. Thunderforce is better. Homefront is not very good.
    Yea, the Thunderforce series is great. Some of my favs for sure. I'm shocked you didn't grab the Mars Matrix he has. Unless you already have it that is, it was the last US DC shmup I needed and it took me a while to get a nice copy of it. A few months earlier and I'd have snapped that one up quick.

    Great game, although generally the Amiga version is considered to be the best because of its music and graphics. It's not a particularly valuable game with complete copies going for $15-$20 and sealed for slightly more.

    Total was $10. The PS1 games were stuck inside a CD spindle with a ton of burned PS1 games and silver bootleg games. They're kinda scratched, and well, there's those stickers - but they make good trade fodder.

    I heard it was rare and okay-ish, so I bought a CIB Rolo to the Rescue for $10 in a local store, and a few loose Genesis games for $5 each, but I guess the only one worth mentioning was The Adventures of Batman & Robin.

    got a huge haul today of various exciting things. As far as gaming a whole box of ps1 stuff, I was the first person into the electronic room at a rummage sale and grabbed it. There are about 30-35 games. 10 of those are longboxes. All games are complete and mint. 2 systems and a bunch of controllers as well. Nothing special in the games. The best thing in the lot is a big analog joystick controller and there is foot pedals with it as well. According to the rarity guide its an r5. Also grabbed mike tysons punch out loose for $1.
    Autobots. Roll out.

    Thanks. I just bought it because I never managed to get anywhere on the Amiga version that I had... acquired... from various sources back in the day. I thought maybe the PC version might have a cult following or something.

    Today I came across a copy of The Daedalus Encounter for the 3DO for $3.95, and a couple of Atari 7800 joysticks and an Atari 2600 stick, $1 each. The vendor at the flea market/junk shop had a whole box full of assorted Atari joysticks in various states of disrepair and filthiness, with some RF adapters and a power supply (missing the tip). I thought about making an offering for the whole box, but the terrible quality of many of them made me just buy the best quality/least scummy ones.


    I'm driving out to Lafayette, LA tomorrow on a cross-country thrift hunt. Wish me luck! I'm hoping I'll find a little more than I have so far on this trip. At least Lafayette still has a Play N' Trade that hasn't closed down since the parent company sucks.

    I found Color a Dinosaur for eight bucks today in a game shop. Yay, now I finally get to experience the exciting gameplay.

    They had RC Pro Am 2, also, but wanted a little more than I was up for paying at at about $24.

    Picked up all this off of CL. There was no room for negotiation since the woman selling them had many replies to the ad and I was the first to email her about them. Games there $5 each, N64 with 2 controllers and Exp. was $20. Game Boys were $5 each, Network Adapter was $5, GB games were $2 each. Spent $225 total so it wasn't a steal, but it wasn't a bad deal (at least I don't think it was)





    SNES games

    Breath of Fire 1 and 2
    Joe & Mac 1 and 2
    Super Mario World 1 and 2
    Super Adventure Island II
    Mario RPG
    Super Bonk
    Donkey Kong Country 2
    Mario all Stars
    Mario Kart
    Zelda LttP
    Illusion of Gaia
    Earthbound (first time I have come across this in the wild)
    Secret of Evermore
    Mega Man X

    The woman selling them had empty PS1 cases for Lunar Silver, Tactics Ogre, Tales of Destiny and Grandia (there were a few more than that but I can't remember the titles) She said if she finds the discs she will let me know. The PS1 game without the manual is Breath of Fire IV.

    If only you'd found the case and manual of Dragon Warrior VII... I'm still open to buy them, just don't advertise that as it's borderline impossible to convince an owner of a complete copy to part with them separate.

    I'd expect over $100 each. No doubt if they're original factory seal with little to no signs of box crush or sun fade.

    Look at it this way: Earthbound was half the value you paid.
