November 2009 Finds

[Balloon Fight]

Picked up a bunch of NES I didn't have today for about $20.

NES:

Barbie
R.B.I. Baseball (licensed cart)
Scheherazade
Castlevania (Nearly 300 carts and I didn't have the first one yet)
Classic Concentration
Little League Baseball
P.O.W.
Advanced D&D Heroes of the Lance

[understatement]

What? No, it's not rare or anything, it's just one of the best games ever made for NES.

Yeah, I don't want it for its sealed properties - I'd be opening it anyway. I want to play it

Thanks for the info I will have to give it another shot. It must have been a cult hit or either went right over my head back in the day, never heard of it as one of the best.

If this was at Value Village wasn't it just the clothes that was 50% off?

Nope, not VV.

[BetaWolf47]

The other day I picked up on the NES a loose copy of Athena for $2. I like the old SNK stuff and will be giving this platformer a whirl later tonight and God does it look terrible. No wonder I haven't heard of this title let alone seen it much in the game stores, most likely went right to the trash after play.

, Athena is terrible. Horrible port of a horrible arcade game. Only good stuff we got out of it is a KoF character and a semi-decent sequel.

[Deadman]

Today I picked up:

Sega Genesis 3-button controller from Thrift Store - $.95 cents

Official Lunar Silver Star Story Strategy Guide (for PS) by Working Designs - this guide is up for trade if you're interested. I'll take a pic later, but it's in real nice complete condition with all stickers and inserts still there.

[Kitsune Sniper]

I only picked up The Producers on VHS today. Fifty cents. The flea market was dead.

Regular, and extra-large size!



I have the Bebop, too...but he's in a box somewhere, and I didn't want to dig for hours for the sake of one pic tonight.

[Blitzwing256]

wow, I had no idea they had any of the bad guys in that size, I only ever saw the 4 turtles and splinter in that size, something to look for :-)

[Balloon Fight]

Picked up Trojan for NES today and a copy of Rain Man for VHS.

[SamuraiSmurfette]

They made a SPLINTER?!?!

edit: Just did a bit of research.
Looks like the following all came in giant size:
4 original turtles
bebop/rocksteady
4 movie turtles
4 troll turtles
4 mutating turtles
4 movie 3 turtles (samurai)
slam dunk don

Between 1990 and 1994

I didn't see a splinter, though...
So if you have one, can you take a pic for ME?

[BetaWolf47]

Shouldn't this discussion be under "Forum du Jour?" </minimod>
