Die Hard Trilogy (Saturn) - complete, $4.00AU

[CosmicMonkey]

Today I got BioMotor Unitron, Neo Turf Masters, Pacman, Cotton and Samurai Showdown 2 for NGPC. All complete in UK hardcases with all docs and in minty condition. The Pacman still had those little plastic rings sealed in the baggy! Oh, and it was BOGOF on some games, so I ended up with Virtua Tennis for the DC as well.

Very impressed. They did have Dark Arms, but it was £30. Hmmm...

I picked up Nightshade at Toys R Us for $10. I'd been looking at the two copies of it they'd had in stock for months... then today there was only one, so I snagged it. Now it's just going on the shelf next to Shinobi, maybe someday soon I will get around to playing them both.

Between yesterday and this morning's yard sales, I found some really good stuff. I found this stuff last night!

Thrift Store
Boyz II Men Motownphilly CD - $3
Summer of Sam sdtk CD - $2
Wings Greatest Hits CD - $2

Gamestop
Chocobo's Dungeon 2 (PS1, complete) - $11.69
Mort the Chicken (PS1, complete) - $2.69

EB Games
Darkstone (PS1, complete) - $2.69
Disagea (PS2, complete) - $40.49
Suikoden III (PS2, complete) - $25.19
Soccer America (PS2, complete) - $8.99

And I found this stuff this morning at the yard sales!

PS one system with Interact controller, power supply and AV cord - $30
loose VideoNow player, preview disc (complete), Fairly Oddparents 3 pack (complete) and Spongebob Squarepants pack (complete) + RC Revenge (PS1, complete) - $15

Then the weirdest find of the morning...I walk up to another yard sale and ask if they have any video games. The young girl says, "Yeah, we've got an Atari over there." I look on top of the box of stuff, and there's a factory sealed copy of Xevious for the 7800.

Then, inside the box were various Atari magazines and what seems to be 800 XL and XE computers with a printer, Wico joystick and a gun (?) and instruction manuals. There were also 3 loose cartridge games inside the box: Bug Hunt, Flight Simulator II, and Peanut Butter Panic.

I'm not really an Atari computer collector, persay, but if I can get this stuff working, I will probably keep it. Oh, yeah: grand total for the Atari stuff was $13. She wanted $20, but all this stuff was untested.

I might consider trading the magazines and the Xevious game. I'll keep you guys posted.

Edit: I guess Xevious ain't rare...
