June 2014 Finds

[Flashback2012]

I figured someone else would have gotten this party started but oh well.

Took a trip up to the flea market for the first time in a while. I hit all of the usual spots in there for games, a couple of guys consider me a regular and almost always have something for me to look at. My first stop I ended up trading the guy a few of my doubles for a couple of 3DS games (Mario Tennis Open, Starfox 64 3D) and some Xbox 360 titles (Dreamcast Collection, Konami Classics V1, and Namco Museum Virtual Arcade).

The second place I hit up was a guy who runs a booth there and owns a mom 'n pop shop closer to my house. He had a B2G1F going on and I ended up with the following SNES games: GP-1 Part II, Vegas Stakes, and Scooby-Doo Mystery all complete.

I hit up a couple of Gamestops on the way back to the house but walked out empty handed at both locations.

My first find in a looong time. But then, I haven't actually looked in a long time, either. So it just goes to show that you have to try to have a chance. These were $2.99 each at a Unique. I was shocked to find them on a shelf with other games (PS2 sports, mostly). They normally put stuff like this in the glass case right along with all cartridge games. At first I was afraid they wouldn't sell them to me because they weren't priced, but they were just rung up like a PS2 game (DVD I guess). Pearl has no manual, but the rest do. Haven't tried Platinum's CN code yet.

Saw a Craigslist add for a working Turbografx 16 and 7 games $160. The picture showed a TG16 with no back cover and the games were in cases but stacked so all you could see was Vigilante, but I caught a corner of what appeared to be a Keith Courage and a gun flash that looked like Turrican. Anyhow got pretty lucky that everything was in great shape, the back cover was there, and some games were complete with cardboard boxes. Very good games too, only repeat for me is Keith Courage. Went from pretty slim pickings to a respectable selection of TG16 games with this one.


turrican, vigilante, splatterhouse, keith courage, blood wolf, sidearms, alien crush


I haven't found anything on Craigslist for quite some time and was even complaining recently how it was impossible to find anything good on there.

Pearl has no manual, but the rest do.

If you need a Pearl manual, give me a yell.

Hit several flea markets and sales today, found nothing. I was told that the "Game Hunters", those dickslappers, had wiped out most everything they found weeks ago. So that was a waste of time. I did go a little out of my way and go to a newly opened GameXchange store and picked up Wabbit! (Atari 2600), Laser Gates (Atari 2600), and The Heist (Colecovision) all loose for $1.95, buy 2 get 1 free. That town already has a small overpriced game store, and with a GameStop and a GameXchange I can see that little one dying out. Although they've expanded into tabletop/card battle style gaming, that might keep them going. At least I'll know where I can get boxed NES RPGs for a small fortune at in the immediate future.

I didn't get to do much wandering around today. I did stop by the Gamestop next to my bank and found of fishing games for the Wii for about $8 and some change. They were Reel Fishing: Angler's Dream and Fishing Master. They also had some sort of PlayStation appreciation day going on and I got a couple of PS4 lanyards. I was considering heading up to the flea market tomorrow but I think those plans got nixed.

Hopefully, I am not sounding too stupid but the joke isn't obvious to me.
