I keep reading where people are finding some great games at Goodwill but I've never found any at mine. Maybe I should check more often?

I think maybe it's a regional thing. I have never had a good experience at a goodwill. From my experience they are the worst thrift store for finding anything neat; not just games. But obviously some people get awsome hauls from those places.

I got a bunch of 2 dollar Dreamcast controllers and VMU's at Gamestop. 6 controllers, 3 VMU's.

Also, I went to a GameCrazy, which I have never been to before, and they have a lot of neat stuff. They had a Nomad for $45, which I thought was a good price, but unfortunately they were holding it for someone. A lot of neat stuff, but my only purchase was a Japanese Mega Drive "J League Champion Soccer" cartidge for $1. My first import game!! Now I just have to see how I can play it...

Today with my mom and boyfriend I took care of a few errands and went out to eat at a Mexican restaurant, and I squeezed in a few stops. I got:

At a Christian thrift store:

4 Nintendo VHS promo tapes:
Donkey Kong Country
Diddy Kong Racing
Banjo-Kazooie
Hot Newz 64

All 4 for a $1. Banjo is the only one I don't already have, but for that price I figured I'd sell the rest for a few bucks. I haven't watched Banjo just yet, so here's to hoping it's REALLY cheesy and fun. :)

At the Goodwill:

NES Advantage controller - $3.99 (I didn't have one yet, so I couldn't resist)
Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire (N64) - $1.49 (loose and really beat up but cleanable)

At the video outlet store I've been getting good deals at all summer:

Turok Dinosaur Hunter - N64
Castlevania - N64
Lode Runner 3-D - N64
Knife Edge: NoseGunner - N64

All complete, and all for $20. My boyfriend also bought 4 PSX games: Fighter Maker, Dino Crisis, Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee, and Metal Gear Solid: VR Missions for $10 in varying states of rental-dom.

All in all, not too shabby.

[Ed Oscuro]

I think there was a sequel or perhaps this is the second game, set in Egypt

No, the one set in Egypt is called "Ancient Empires" (It's full title is "Challenge of the Ancient Empires")

Hmm, I worded that badly This one isn't set in Egypt, I know that much so far (. There's actually a sort of overlapping chart with ages and recommended games for each age group - more than the Super Solver series, looks like their whole educational action games catalog really!

[AFGiant]

I grabbed Cosmic Spacehead for the Genesis at EBGames for $5. No idea how the game is, I just bought it because the cart is wierd shaped :P

[-hellvin-]

Added more stuff to the genesis collection:

Gamestop

Wolfchild (loose) - 3.99
Gadget Twins (loose) - 1.99
Zoop (loose) - free

Eb Games

Alien 3 (complete) - 4.99
Atomic Runner (complete) - 4.99
Flicky (loose) - 7.99 (Yay! Flicky!)

Goodwill

Columns III (complete) - 3.99

Not too shabby. Of course, I had the boxes and manuals for all the loose games =D! Perhaps in a few months I'll find carts for all these damn boxes so I have more space in here! Slowly building up the genesis collection. Wish I had started this odyssey way before gamestop cleared out their loose carts =\.
