Thank you Game Crazy!

[drewbrim]

I walked into a semi local Game Crazy to have a couple of discs resurfaced (my kids have ruined their Harry Potter dvd's and needed their crack like fix) and I see the above scene sitting on the front counter. Immediately I walk over to them and ask "are these really all free" they assure me that they are and tell me to help myself. I of course lay claim to them and start going through them.

Nothing to exciting at first, just some sports titles. But since most are complete I am happy to fill some holes.

Now we're talking. I have actually been looking for Pac Mania and Star Trek, and I always loved this particular boxing game. Only one game left at the very bottom, I wonder what it could be....

Jackpot baby! Nothing like scoring a game you've been searching for and hoping not to pay the $40 that it goes for on ebay.

Also to any of you who work at Game Crazy these employees were exceptionally nice. We pretty much just "shot the shit" while my movies were being resurfaced. The two guys in the store were very friendly and helpful. When my discs were finished I felt compelled to buy something for all of my good fortune so I grabbed a sealed FF X2 black label off the shelf since I've been meaning to pick one up for the future. Price on the box was $14.99 but one of my new friends worked some magic on the register and rang it up as $4.99 . Thank you Game Crazy!

Just thought it would be nice to share a good experience with one of those national video game stores for a change

Nice score! I also wanted to add that the guys (and gals) at my local Game Crazy are also extremely nice. One of my favorite places to shop for games.

Awesome score man! It always warms my heart to see a fellow Genesis fan go home happy...

[Jumpman Jr.]

Sweet stuff! When I saw the first couple pictures, I was thinking to myself "That's not THAT good (espessially to be making an entire post about)"
But a complete Toe Jam for free! Good find!

Odd I have the exact different experiance most of them in the az area are complete fuck heads.

Nice score though specially on the toe jam and earl.

[roushimsx]

Awesome score, man. I've also found my local GameCrazy employees to be pretty cool people.

I loved that series

[CYRiX]

Of course there aren't any gamecrazies around me...




nice find tho!

I would also like to add that the employees at my local Game Crazy's are very nice as well. One in particular even went through the troble of gathering as many Game Gear games for me from other stores around the county.

Congrats on the complete Toejam (fun fun fun. I discovered it in the days of Sega Channel and hope to snag one for myself) and complete Greatest Heavyweights.

Going to the local GC is always a pleasure for me as well. Best place that sells games in the Evansville area next to Book Broker.

Home to some of the nicest people in the area to lurk behind a counter, only to emerge and wax your ass in Super Smash Bros. Melee... I need to go back there again and maybe pick up some DS games.

I love Sega Genesis, even though I never had one as a kid. I dont even have one now! no money


By the way, nice find!!!

[snes_collector]

I'd love to just get the games for free, even if they were all sports games, but TJ&E, that's just the iceing on the cake. I wish there were GameCrazy's around me, I've never been in one

Toejam and earl was my favorite genesis game when I was a kid. I had no idea it was also so valuable.

I like game crazy cause they have alot of old games cheap. BUT, unlike EBgames, they don't clean or test them at all.

They had a few copies of Tetris 2 for SNES that had encrusted -something-or-other all over the cart for 20 dollars.

[christhegamer]

sweet! I wish I could have been at that store .

I know, it's hardly the find of the year. I probably could've thrown this in the "weekend finds" section since this thread sounds more like a "check out the free crap I got" post instead of what I meant it to be. Which was to call attention to the nice people at Game Crazy.

We talked classic games the whole time I was there. When I brought up the Turbografx 16 one of the two employees (maybe 22 yrs old at most) asked what it was and seemed to actually listen, as opposed to humoring some old guy (I'm 28 ). I never caught their names but thanks to the GC guys in Canton, OH.

[mills]

I'm 22 and I had a TG16 when I was a kid, wish I still had it too

[Mr_Elimin8]

I guess I can say, "you're welcome." for gamecrazy. As I do work at one. The Moline, Illinois one that is.

[Lothars]

Awesome really cool find especially for free

[sisko]

Odd I have the exact different experiance most of them in the az area are complete dumb fucks or fuck heads.

Nice score though specially on the toe jam and earl.

Edited for clarity.

[izret101]

Those are all in good condition too.
The place by me sells all their Genny games and none of them are in that kind of condition.

Congrats on the amazing find.

Do me a favor and play enough TJ&E to make up for all the time i have lost since mine got sold

[MegaDrive20XX]

Just think of what could have happened if you didn't show up.

That stuff would go in the trash, I kid you not.

When I worked for GameCrazy they would throw away tons of these boxes.

I had no way to save them all...they didn't care....

I managed to save about a dozen....yet the GameCrazy around here does not accept these anymore....

Thank you sir, for saving the Genesis boxes from those idiots who wouldn't give two cents of knowledge to understand the beauty of Genesis....
