    Default Midweek finds (3/3 to 3/7)

    I wasn't expecting to get anything today but it was a good day for me. I got a few game carts to add to my pile:
    Solar Storm 2600
    Star Wars Death Star battle 2600

    ...and a labelless Xonox cart that turned out to be Slurry for Colecovision. Took me a while to realize why this one wouldn't fit in my 7800 So it's my first Xonox for my CV system. Anyone have a detailed scan of this label so I could print out a replacement?

    I also picked up a CIB link cable for PSX for 89 cents and picked up a few more NES games as well. And the rest of Thundercats comic book (new series, not the old Marvel/Star)

    Oh yeah for a new boxed official (not cheap 3rd party) Sega 4x VMU and an old GoBot camera with GoBot stickers on it looking almost brand new. It takes 110 film though.

    Anyone want the camera or the 4x VMU?
    Another day, another dollar... wake me when it's payday.

    After 3 long years without owning one...
    I finally got...

    A Sega CD system! Too bad all of my Sega CD games are now in storage... I need to go dig out Lunar, Time Gal, and Sonic CD!

    Got Solstice for NES today.

    Perfect condition - boxed, manual, cartridge sleeve and even the little bit of polystyrene packaging at the bottom of the box! All of which is in perfect condition!

    And it was only $10AUS! (About $5-$6 US).

    Good deal or what?!

    Yesterday I found:

    Complete mini SNES system w/game: $5.99 - Came with a complete Tiny Toon Adventures: Buster Busts Loose!, but when I got it home I realized that there was actually a Super Mario Kart cart inside the box! So now I have another thing to add to the orphan thread...

    NES games $2.00 each - Tetris (Nintendo), Tetris 2, Tecmo Bowl (woo!), and Fisher Price Perfect Fit (semi-rare)

    Also got Popful Mail (disc only) in the mail for $23. Well worth it so far!

    Tetrisphere is one of the best N64 games.. 2 player mode is crazy fast. It is also one of the few games that use the gamepad not the analog stick (that is wore to a nub by now)

    Absolutely. If you see another one at that price, grab it. You'll need it for two-player Typing of the Dead.

    Saw about 3-4 of them at that price at Funco today. Going to get one and eventually get Typing of the Dead (be nice to improve and revive my typing skills- haven't really taken typing tests since'95)

    This week was all about recent systems (and a TRU I had never been to):

    Suikoden III for PS2
    Bangai-O for DC
    Industrial Spy: Operation Espionage for DC

    Industrial Spy fell into my "it's a cheap DC game" category so I bought it. Started it up and tried to figure out what was going on and couldn't. I'll need more brain food before tackling that again.

    Suikoden III has all but dried up near me. I've been keeping my eyes peeled for awhile. So far the game hasn't caught my fancy but I'm giving it more time.

    Bangai-O was the same price as Sly Cooper - so it wasn't cheap. But it was definitely worth every penny. It'll definitely get the most playing time of the three (yup, I'm including the RPG).
