September 2011 Finds

[Cornelius]

It's sadly not that random. It came with the game. My copy has it, too.

Touche. Random I guess isn't the right word. I only maybe knew about the letter existing, and as with the Mike Tyson letter, I don't think it is all that common relative to the game or box/manual.

Nice haul, btw. Some great games in there!

[Deadman]

Since my woman is out with her friends doing the regular Thursday night thing, I took the boys to dinner and we stopped at Half Price on the way home. They picked up some cool Pokemon guides, including a Pikachu edition Red/Yellow/Blue guide for a couple of bucks. I dug around and found:

Resident Evil 3 Nemesis (Playstation) complete $3
Q*bert (Dreamcast) complete and mint - $4

Plus a couple of Gears of War novels. Lovin that series!

I let the SO do the grocery shopping while I hit up a nearby thrift store. I walked away with this:



A PlayStation with two controllers, two steering wheel/pedal combos, the cables, a memory card and 40 Winks.

Normally I don't pick up PlayStations, and definately not in this condition (Yellowed and with a stuck Open button), but I peeked inside and saw a wire that seemed out of place, so I figured it was modded and worth picking up just to play imports. What the heck, if nothing else I could use it for parts.

For good measure I picked up some cd's as well. Yes, I'm a sucker for '90s pop and dance.



Total damage: $10

The centers of those steering wheels are butt-ugly. BUTTONS EVERYWHERE

[Dreadstar]

Picked up Blades of Steel, Excitebike, Jurassic Park, Mike Tyson's Punch-out! and SMB 2 (carts with sleeves) for 5.99 today at lunch at GW.

(holy shit, JP is an R5?)

A few days ago, I received Super Mario RPG in the mail from eBay. It cost $30, which I think is pretty good for such an awesome game.
