Well it seems that each and every single one is a pirate cart. Not a good start to my Famicom collection.

Why did you even buy 15 in one if you don't want pirate carts?

I knew that was a pirate, I didnt know the others were. I dont mind one out of a few but all of them. Yikes.

Tough luck there. Now you have something in common with Gamestop, I have found tons of pirates there before.

A lot of the clerks I've had to deal with there act like butt pirates...

Pirate carts are GREAT conversation starters.

Besides sometimes they're hacked to include other features. So they're not a total loss!

Ummm dock sale (AKA back lot sale) at Goodwill today.

Nothing video game related but I did get a nice set of Realistic Minimus-7 bookshelf speakers, a Ti-85 graphing calculator, a JBL On Stage iPod dock, a Trent portable DVD player, and a few other things. Make note all of those things were cheap because they were in questionable working condition. I do hope the Minimus speakers work though, honestly they are much nicer (hi-fi-ier) than the set of Ion DJing speakers I got a few weeks ago.

Just picked these loose SNES carts out of a stack of the usual yawners at Goodwill:

Super Punch Out
Carrier Aces (R5)
Final Fight Guy (R6)

1.99 each.
