I found games at a landfill once. I was there to drop off some household trash and there was a small pile next to the dumpster. Just a bunch of commons ( I clearly remember Tiger Heli and a few other stinkers...no pun intended) but hey there were free to a good home so I took em'.

boxed games mixed in with vhs tapes at a thrift

I found that funny because I always find Genny games mixed in with the VHS tapes whenever I am at my local Goodwill.

I found 2 boxed NES games in a Used Bookstore once. This place had nothing but books... thousands and thousands of books. As I'm looking at one of the shelves, the title "Heroes of the Lance" catches my eye. I pull it out and it's not a book at all, it's a boxed NES game. Gauntlet was right beside it. I don't know how on earth they got there, or what kind of retarded employee mistook two boxed videogames for books, but I was able to get two complete games for next to nothing that day.

I found a NES game (Millepede) in a box of broken crap.

I found "Super Mario Bros. 3" in a box of VHS tapes.

That's all I remember.

@ Sothy

You and your Photoshop jokes!

I don't think I've ever found any in any particulalry odd places....standard stuff... thrift/pawn shops, yard/garage sales, flea markets, ebay, Digitpress.com, etc.

I was an RA at college. One summer we decided to clean out the old storage closets that weren't in use anymore. Everything got pitched or donated, but if we wanted something we could take it. I found boxes of anime, a marble chess set, some cool bookshelves, a bunch of fantasy books, and a box of NES games. They were all loose and most sucked, but I found a Mega Man and Baseball Stars in there. Wasn't expecting them at all, but it made the hard day of work worth it.

Didn't someone find an nes game at K Mart a year or two ago for full original list price? That's pretty funny.

Its was SMB/DH of course.

I know finding games at flea markets isn't out of the ordinary, but I was passing by a car stereo booth and noticed they had 2 NES games and a genesis game (being Pirates! Gold ) among the stereo accessories.

I've also seen them in used book stores and Kmart as well.

I've found NES games in trash cans before.

The trunk of some lady's car.

And no, I wasn't rifling through her car trying to steal something. I was putting away her groceries.

[EnemyZero]

I bought a chest from the goodwill and when i started putting stuff in it i found a side compartment with Yo-Noid loose in it ... o.O

[NESaholic]

There's a store here that sells train models and stuff like that a shop you would pass easily.
But sneaky it seems to have a game corner,as well new gen. but also 2nd hands games but you can't see it anywhere only when you walk into the store and go way back.
I saw some nes,snes and psone 2nd games and found nes Asterix and Ten Chu for peanuts.

I haven't really found NES games at any crazy places before, but I do remember someone here saying that they found some SNES games at Kmart last year, and they were charging $50.00 a piece. HAHHAH

In the ice in a pond near my house. It was a NES Wrestlemania rental back in the day. I couldn't get it out though,because I was just a kid.

I found a couple of NES games for sale at a convienent store in Canada once while on a weekend trip. Nothing great or anything, just seemed odd next to the magazines and candy.

[SebasC]
