    I found a loose Pac-Man 5-in-1 plug-and-play at the thrift last night for $7. Almost had to wrest it out of the hands of a small child...

    When I got it home, it already had batteries in it. Su-wheet!
    Currently catching up on PSN, WiiWare, Wii U E-Shop and Xbox Live Arcade exclusives I missed.

    Just picked up the 4 NES games from the goodwill at 3 bucks each. All 4 look untouched except for one corner of the spyhunter box. I have never had much luck with finding boxed complete games in the wild, but last week I find that Zelda OOT boxed and now these 4, it must have just been my week.

    Those GBA games are in there for fun, 10$ each at Best Buy... Not really a find but just in there for "photographic" purposes

    Not much happening for me today, I got:

    NES Blades Of Steel (Red Label Konami Classic Series Version) (cart only) $2

    N64 Wayne Gretzky's 3D Hockey 98 (cart only) $1

    PC Betrayal At Krondor (complete) $1

    That's about it

    I did find a Dreamcast controller in the box with a memory thing that I could have used and also a Yu-Gi-Oh GBA cart both on a table that stated: "Everything on Table $1". So, I picked them up and asked if they had change for a $10. Guess what? He then said the controller was $3 and the GBA cart was $10. I had a few choice words and threw them back on the table....what an asshole.

    I found a ton of games @ EB....

    Super C - NES
    MM3 - NES
    MM6 - NES
    MM7 - SNES
    Aladdin - SNES

    All for $30! I was amazed when I saw MM7

    Then I went to a local shop and got 3 old PS Underground Demos for $.50 each and an Official Alundra Guide complete with the memory card stickers.

    I spent a total of 7 bucks there.

    Actually did good at the garage sales today:



    GBA games- $1 each
    Lord of the rings: the two towers
    Scooby doo & the cyber chase
    Jackie chan adventures
    Spider-man 2

    Not in the greatest shape, but they all work, and you can't really beat that price!

    Then I got all this for $10

    Dreamcast w/ all hookups, a controller, VMU, and Crazy taxi (loose)

    Nomad w/ power supply (It has a huge gash in the screen, but works perfectly!)

    Genesis- Mickey Mania (loose)

    N64 (all loose)
    Star wars rogue squadron
    Mario party 3
    Star wars shadow of the empire- Japanese version?!- The label was replaced with some store's name and address though. Neat find regardless. I wonder what the hell that was doing there? I didn't see an import converter at the sale...I should have checked to see if the N64 was import modded or something. Oh well.

    Hit the local SA and found 7 game guides for 25 cents each:

    PS1:
    007: World Is Not Enough

    N64:
    Jet Force Gemini
    Star Wars Episdoe 1: Racer
    Super Smash Bros.

    Gamecube:
    Animal Crossing

    There were also 2 Pokemon guides but I traded them in for store credit at a used game store. They gave me $2 a piece in store credit.

    Used the store credit to get:

    Sega CD:
    Panic! Complete but the hinges are broken.

    Then the last stop was EB and got:

    N64:
    Milo's Astro Lanes
    Snowboard Kids
    Triple Play 2000
    $10 total


    We saved some guy's life. Killed some vicious murdering lichs and blew up something big. I'd call that a pretty good night.

    Got all of this (except for the guides) for $30.00 at an estate auction.

    The guides were .99 each at Gamestop.

    Finally, I have a Saturn! I need the AV cord, however. Anyone know where I can get one besides ebay?

    3,582 games and counting! Pics of tons of stuff!

    Thank you, she works nicely, but I need a better RF unit for it.

    As you can see, I cleaned it up before I took the picture, because it was pretty funky when I got it.

    I haven't seen one of these in 3 years and I'm not gonna let this baby go lol
    These cartridges are dirty as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore!

    I found one last weekend for 5.00 but no one paid any attention because I didn't post a stinkin' picture.
