Time to get March started off right

How much?

How much?

Right there with ya!

I had to leave work early today to help my mother-in-law with some stuff around her house and stopped at the Movie Trading Co. afterward. Picked up:

Stupid Invaders (Dreamcast) mint $12
Gladiator Last Pinball (Saturn) mint $4
Double Switch (Sega CD) mint $4

Been looking for Stupid Invaders for a long time and this copy is perfect! I don't need either of the other two games, but the cases are perfect, no cracks, no scuffs - so for $4 each, I'll upgrade the cases of some of my more rare and expensive games, then resell the other games for a couple bucks in bad cases.

GameCube Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Chaos Bleeds for $5.99 and Game Boy Exodus: Journey to the Promised Land for $1.99 at Goodwill.

Who would have thought that was a $50.00 game. Those buffy fans are an odd bunch.

How much?

After fees+ shipping? A little over $300. Not bad considering the system is beautiful. A lot of those games I don't want are going to get sold, so that will bring the cost down some more.

Nice deal. I miss my Duo, not enough to take the plunge and buy another one, but I get closer all the time.

I came across a few interesting things today. Picked up four SNES carts (Breath Of Fire, NBA Jam T.E., Carrier Aces, and Super Mario All-Stars) for $2.92 each, one of which looks to be a pirate using an original US cart shell. I found a complete Lee Trevino's Fighting Golf for the NES for $1.98 that I couldn't pass up even though it's a sports title (something I have a severe aversion to collecting), an original model Apple Newton MessagePad with a corroded battery for $8.49, and at a store I've driven past loads of times but never ventured into until today called Second Hand Sports, a Sega Genesis CDX power supply for $9.99.


The NBA Jam SNES cart looks to be a pirate, but they used an original shell with the six-sided screws. It might not be an original cart case though, since the back where the copyright sticker is located isn't all that rounded off at the corners as an original. Anyway, picked it up just because it was weird.

Thats how I was, but the itch got the best of me.

Today's finds:


$5 for the Diablo Battle Chest box with one copy of Diablo and two copies of Diablo II. The guy also had a copy of Lord of Destruction but he wanted $5 for that alone and I said no. It only had books and one LoD CD inside.
$1 for each of the Double Ender games.


Monster Rancher 2 (CD + manual) - $3
Take Your Best Shot (Windows 3.1 version), Squirrel Nut Zippers: Perennial Favorites, The Psychedelic Furs: All of this and nothing (Edit: CD has rot, it won't rip, goddamnit!), $1 each. I already have Perennial Favorites but the case was pretty stained, and well, this one isn't.


Resident Evil longbox (usual unglued edges)
Parallels Desktop Switch to Mac Edition (Version 5)
Vampire The Masquerade Redemption (CDs + key)
Picture It! Photo Premium 9
$6 total!

Yay~

Edit: The Resident Evil longbox includes a very interesting Capcom catalog that has longbox mockup artwork for Fox Hunt, Buster Bros. Collection, and Resident Evil - this one is pretty funny because it's just a (live action) dude holding a shotgun, and he looks like he's crapping his pants!

I feel like a kid at Christmas right now. Why? Because my copy Solatorobo arrived this morning! I was too busy with other stuff to check the mail. So I didn't realize it had come in, until my Dad looked and found the package in the box we have for our newspapers.

Anyway, I opened it up and discovered that Play-Asia had sent me a copy of the Solatorobo Prelude Disc along with the game. I wasn't expecting to get the disc, since it was a preorder item.

I've only played up to the first save point, but I'm loving the game so far! Later, I'm going to figure out how to download the Wi-Fi quests.

All from the same salvation army.

Interesting they've still got them! The prelude disc actually wasn't a preorder item, but it was supposed to only ship with the first run of copies - like the Chrono Trigger DS CD. Glad you got one. I still need to watch mine.

The wi-fi quests are pretty straightforward to download, luckily. I think the menu translation blog covered them at one point.

PS - let me know if you ever figure out what the greyed-out quests are about. I'm still trying to figure that out.
