    Default Games Acquired This Week (Nov. 3-9)

    I went to a couple stores yesterday to see if Medal of Honor: Frontline had come in for the GameCube then...I'd heard it was scheduled for release yesterday. Neither store I checked had it but that's not unusual. My stores don't always get games on their release dates. I wound up picking up SSX Tricky which is now marked down to $20.

    Today I received the following games for my Dreamcast, all new:

    Looney Tunes Space Race
    Ooga Booga
    Sega Bass Fishing
    Sega Marine Fishing
    The Typing of the Dead

    I also got the keyboard and the fishing controller. Interestingly, I was supposed to get 6 games...MDK 2 was not there. I've e-mailed the person and hope it was just an oversight and will soon be sent out to complete the deal.

    A good week for me. My local EB was clearing out all of its second hand N64 games for £3 ($4.50). So I had a chance to play some of the JAP games I've had in english for the first time. I got:

    Lylat Wars (or starfox, to you across the pond)
    Turok 2
    Extreme G
    South Park Rally
    Spacestation Silicon Valley
    Tetrisphere
    Star Wars: Episode 1 Racer
    Excitebike 64
    ISS64
    Conform. Consume. Obey.

    I'm sort of in reverse more right now. Selling off my extra's on Ebay for the Christmas suckers, err.. shoppers..

    Everything around me has dried up. Or to be more specific, I've got all the commons and uncommons for the NES, SNES, Genesis, and N64.. now I just seem to buy the games I know I can sell.. like FF1 for $3.00. I really want to find these uncommon American NES RPGs. All I have so far is Pool of Radiance, I need Bard's Tale bad..

    I got an incredible deal yesterday..One I still can't believe, and from Goodwill nonetheless. I was up there at lunch yesterday and they had 3 broken portable Sharp DV-L70 DVD players. They look like this:


    I ask how much and the manager says, "they are broken, they don't work."
    Well, even not working they would be of use to me as the have 7" TFT 16:9 LCD screens that I can use for other projects. So I say, "How much for 3 broken DVD players then?"
    She gets the ponder ponder look then replys.
    "$25.00"

    Well I took em to work and opened them up. Two of them didn't work because someone had ripped the power port off the board. The other one powered up but the DVD drive had a liquid spilled all over it. So I took the working power ciruit and made a working Portable DVD for myself. The other one probably works but needs a new power connector.

    So for $25 I got 3 Litium Ion batteries for the Sharp DVD portables. one power connector. one AV out cable, one working Portable DVD player, one probably fixable portable, and one for parts.
