    Blazing Dragons .. OK. Burning Rangers, ok price. Shining Force 3 .. great price. Not likely to find much better these days ... although I have to brag that I snagged one a few months ago from ebay for £25 because it was listed badly!

    Dunno about the Gamegear games, but at £3 each you can't go far wrong ...

    Bubble Bobble £4.99 .... GREAT score! It's worth 8 or 9 times that, easily.

    Me? Well, I'm smiling because of this ..

    Yeah baby. And my Saturn VCD card for £13 arrived today, along with Tryrush Deppy. Which I paid $40 for. Not sure if that's good or bad, but I have wanted to try it for ages, so I don't care! Just looked through the manual and box art. Looks exactly my sorta game .. can't wait to try it!

    Found some good stuff at Goodwill today. There was a dirty (always seems to be the case at Goodwill) but completely scratch-free (and pretty clean inside the cart port) Super NES Model 2, for $5! I was amazed...that's less than what they sell Genesis systems for. It came with all the hookups (only thing that looked a bit rough was the A/V cable where it connects to the TV, everything else looked like it wasn't plugged in or removed often) , a third party second controller, and both inserts (manual, warning booklet).

    There were four SNES games there; one was some EA Baseball title, another was something which I've forgotten about already, and the last two were Pacman 2 and Super The ESRB Strike Back (well, okay, Super Empire Strikes Back). Both came with the manuals, in very decent condition!

    There was also a loose Mario/Duck Hunt cartridge, priced the same as the SNES games ($2.99) which I passed up. I'm sure it'll be gone when I go back.

    That's not all, though...there were two red Nintendo (the N logo is a white decal on the spoiler) racing cars with "FX" on the side, c. 1991. I found one at my work a few weeks ago, and now I've got two more, which actually have the Nintendo decal applied properly! $.29 each...a bit expensive, but not terrible :)

    $12.something for everything :)

    .29 expensive? I don't think .29 is expensive.

    he also threw in these NES games:
    Bases Loaded 3
    Cobra Command
    Star Wars (Boxed, no manual)
    Disney Adventures in the Magic kingdom (complete)
    Little Nemo: The Dream master (complete)

    Friends let friends know that their stuff is worth money

    Guess it keeps stuff like I just bought coming into Goodwill, so...

    I checked out another Goodwill today, and the first game item I saw was a Genesis game storage case! I think it's just for carts, which works perfectly since the buggerly things always seem to accumulate in my house. $2.99 on the price tag.

    Next I saw a small stack of NES games, with Kung Fu (which I sort of wanted but didn't pick up since I had no money) on top, and then...a copy of Mario/Duck Hunt under it...another copy of Mario/Duck Hunt under that...and a copy of Mario/Duck hunt to the side. Nothing of interest there.

    Last thing I saw was an old PS/2 Model 25 with nothing in the expansion slots, no keyboard, and I'm pretty sure the monitor was the monochrome one (well, I thought it would be green/black, but apparently they're monochrome, with some having color monitors). That was marked at $9.99, and I asked if they would discount it...$8, no deal.

    Anyhow, when I rang up they charged me only $1.58 for the Genesis storage box! I was very pleased.

    yeah its the bilingual box and manual.

    if you really are interested in it, PM me, i'm currently unsure of its worth nor do i know anything about canadian imports.

    by the way, did Mattel publish a lot of NES games in Canada for nintendo. i thought it was odd that metroid has a huge Mattel label on the box.
