Weekday Finds 16th to 20nd August

**Steempy** · 08-15-2005, 12:06 PM

I went back to a video store I'd raided last week for the leftovers, and picked up exrentals of Van Helsing and Summoner 2 for PS2 for $AUS10 each..

Well last week I had found some boxed genesis games, a broken snes and stuff, and there were lots of things I decided not to pick up at the thrift shop, including a 2600 version of donkey kong. I don't even have a 2600 right...

Today I find a Coleco Gemini at the thrift store and not a single 2600 game in sight.

I gotta find an ac and rf adapter for this thing. Good thing I bought a boxed copy of joust 4 years ago.

Got 6 packages today. Four of them were from fellow DPers. These packages included:

The NES games in the bottom picture are PAL and include the game Crackout (which was never released in the US). The two impossible to make out GB games are Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back and Raging Fighter.

I spent around $100 (buying and shipping for trades) for all of this but am very happy (especially with all the boxed NES goodness).

**josekortez** · 08-15-2005, 05:15 PM

Well, I did my last real hunting for the summer today. I may be able to make a quick stop here or there before I leave for school, but who knows. I didn't find anything spectacular, but for about $15, I got some pretty snazzy stuff:

Scuzzy thrift store:

NES - Super Off Road (yay!)
NES - Where's Waldo?
Genesis - Wheel of Fortune
Genesis - Jeopardy
Genesis - Bubba 'n' Stix (Bubblicious game? What the hell? O_o )

... $1.49 each. Quite a big hassle too since they were having a half off sale and the place was LOADED with Mexicans and their tons of crazy kids running around. The line was huge, the games were all behind the counter, and it was difficult having the lady, who probably barely knew English, get them for me. And for games kept behind the counter, they sure are filthy. Oh well. O_o They did have some more notable games there like Super Mario Bros. 2 and 3 and TMNT, but I have all those commons.

At the Goodwill:

NES - Bases Loaded 2 - 1.49
N64 Flying Cap Mario plushie - 0.49
Official Game Boy carrying case - 0.99 (yet another one, but this one doesn't have all the different pockets like the one I got a week ago or so)
Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask promo VHS tape - 1.99 (I know, kinda expensive, but I didn't even know this one existed)
Ultraman vs. Kamen Rider Japanese VHS movie - 1.99 (not video game related, but SO BAD ASS. My boyfriend will get a kick out of this when he sees it.)

**Videogamerdaryll** · 08-16-2005, 02:44 AM

Picked up this COMMODORE 64 Plug and Play Game at Kay Bee at the Mill Creek Mall/N.J.

For $10.00..they are marked $14.99 but are on a $10.00 Clearance Rack(several of them)

**dreamcaster** · 08-16-2005, 09:14 AM

Earthworm Jim (Mega Drive) - boxed, $1.00AU

**Jumpman Jr.** · 08-16-2005, 10:43 AM

I got these from a forum member today:

Before you get too excited... they're only the boxes/manals etc... No carts in them.
I needed these three as I am trying to get a CIB Virtual Boy collection. Only 2 more to go.
On that note; Anybody got a spare Nester's Funky Bowling and/or Galactic Pinball box(es)?

**dbiersdorf** · 08-16-2005, 10:45 AM

How much did you pay for the Jack Bros. box/manual?

It's a Goodwill in Washington state. I'm on vacation with family. I've never even come across a Goodwill in Brooklyn. o_O All I see there are crummy Salvation Army stores that smell like death and never have anything good.
