I got BC Racers for the Mega CD from eBay today. £2.70 in very good condition.

Yesterday I went into Cash Generator to see what kind of games they had. I got these for £2 each:
Silpheed - Mega CD complete
Top Gun - NES loose
GameShark - N64, loose

I overpaid on Top Gun but the overall price was ok. I wanted to see if my Power Glove would work with Top Gun. It doesn't.

Saw on CAG that CompUSA was having another Friday midnight madness sale. Most posts were talking the sale down, but there was a link to the clearance list for each store, so I checked mine out. As luck would have it, these were on the list, and better yet, actually in the store for @14.99 each...



And earlier in the day, at a rummage sale, I found these for a buck each, mixed in with other disc only PSX games:

PS2 Kiosk Dics 2.2
PSX Kiosk Demo Disk 1.16

Not a bad start to the holiday!

I found some neat stuff yesterday.


A couple of Genesis games ($3), and a Zork "Choose Your Own Adventure" book ($1).


I don't know what the name of these guys are, but I've been looking for them for a LONG time. They are alien and monster guys I had as a kid. I think they may have been in Happy Meals -- I'm not sure.


Here are all the ones I found yesterday. 50 cents each.


I got this a few weeks ago. This is another style, but a complete set. I know these came from McDonalds. 5 colors, 8 figures each = 40 figures.


This was the weirdest thing I bought yesterday. It's a talking "candy butler". He's the one on the right. Mason's on the left. When you press a button his eyes (the butler, not Mason) roll around and he says one of about three sayings.

[Xexyz]

What a crappy weekend, what with all the rainy leftovers from the hurricane hitting the North East. The flea market turnout was abysmal, but I still wound up getting some good stuff. At a single vendor I got the following all for $20:



Rampart (NES, complete)
Smash T.V. (NES, complete)
Laser Invasion (NES, complete)
Willow (NES, boxed)
Tekken 2 (PS1, complete)
Samurai Shodown III: Blades of Blood (PS1, complete)


Rampart kicks all kinds of ass! It's one of those games I've always neglected for no good reason up until now. I'll definately be hunting down the Genny version.

[Carey85]

Thus far this month I've gotten a heavy sixer 2600, a Genesis model 1 from launch, and a couple of spare Dreamcast controllers.

[Cauterize]

£1.50 for this:



When I got home I thought "What the Hell did I buy that for?"

Oh the fun of Impulse buys! James get on that Skateboard and learn how to do it the SMB way!!!

Not bad for a start..... Still cant find a copy of Dracula X in the wild though..... But the Month is still young!

Thats Genesis YS III at the bottom.
I got both marvel vs capcoms at replays at the same time.

Grrrr Mega Man 6, nice find, may i ask how much you paid for it?


Adam time! My Finds! Yay

On Saturday my Dad tracked down a small bootsale going on, meanign we had two small local ones to visit. THis is everything i hauled from the two



Firstly... Ermm... a Kids Sonic Waistcoat thing... You could say it was an impulse buy like James SMB Skateboard, but i guess my intention is to put it on eBay and see what happens... Unless i shrink, this is gonna go to waste... Id love to knwo some mad retro collector dresses his kid in this... INFACT, PM me if you want you kid looking smart and slick




£3.50 for all the games in the Pic. Mainly bought for the Megaman game i needed




£6 for the Megadrive, had everything apart from 2 Manuals (as sad as that is... buying things for booklets) so it was all for resale/trade




And to go with my talking moving Pikachu, a Mew from the same series of toy




And awaiting me in the post when i got home was 2 games i treated myself to from eBay


Today was a great day for finds We got up but the weather wasnt too good, so we drove an extra bit further to goto the indoor boot sale/flea market.
After trawling roudn there we then drove back to the other one while the weather was better (for all of 5minutes) then it started raining again and the floor was just complete mud waiting for some poor person to fall over in! Slippy!







Lots of MD and soem SMS + MCD games. Fairly cheap
However a PhStar2 manual!? Did i come seconds too late to the game? or was it just not in there to begin with :P
Im pleased with my Multicart too




£7, Pokemon and Mario games will fund this purchase... Needed the Smurfs game though, brings back early GC memories!




SNES Games £1 each
BAM3 - 50p
DK64 - 50p




Lovely original Loom with massive 5'1/2" Floppies included! £1




Random goodies....

And finally from the boot sales...



an Mp3 player for £5...
May not look or soudn anythign special considerign its old, only 256mb and not colour screen etc etc... But recently my iPod died for good (Apple are bastards and refused to repair it, claiming i had damaged it thru misuse despite treating it like a child of my own!) and ive been looking for a small easy to carry cheap mp3 player. Also accepts SD/MMC cards if i feel the need to add more songs, but right now i feel comfortable with 56 songs... as apposed to never knowing what to listen to!


Later on, my Sister was getting dropped off in Leeds City Centre so i thought id hitch a ride and trade in the bulk of spare consoles i had been buildign up and get some games i needed for free
This is what i got from trading in consoles at Gamestation today



I am so pleased with Pop n Twinbee, Prehistorik Man and Joe & Mac!
Trolls was a huge disapointment (I was expecting it to be like the Amiga platformer, but its basically a rip off of Mr Blobby on Amiga (correct me if its actually the other way round))




Needed Clu Clu Land, but at 6 for £5 i thought id get some to stock my online shop... Dr Mario needs a clean BADLY!




And finally some PS1 games which i used to play on PC, picked up for nostalgic reasons


Today, the family was off down to Liverpool as my younger Sister is moving down there for University and was pickign up her accomodation keys today so i thought id go help out, then check out the shops
(i know my way round easily as my family come from there and alot of relatives still live there)

In the shops i found these:




Finally tracked down a nice cheap copy of Clockwork Knight.. i know its not rare or anything, but i really enjoyed it when i played it years and years ago. Considerign it was Buy one get one free i snagged a copy of Magic Carpet for nostaliga.
Believe it or not, yeah i bought the Madden game... Im going for a full PAL MD set and, well, this was one i needed.
SNES games were about £10 for all 4.
Parlor Games and Quackshot were 50p each, both to stock on my shop.

This weekend has been great for uncommon SNES games i needed anjd i have lots to be keeping me busy!
