Well, I found some interesting stuff today while browsing through my local thrift stores.

Seiken Densetsu 3 for $4.99 (Loose) - I rarely see SFC games out here, much less good ones. Now I just have to decide whether to mod my SNES, or just continue playing the fan-translation.

Sega Pico System w/ 5 boxed games $25.00 - I bought this purely out of curiosity. The system itself is loose, but I did find the operations manual tucked in one on the game boxes. The games I got with it are: Tails & the Music Maker, Mickey's Blast to the Past, Magic Crayons, A Year at Pooh Corner, and Richard Scarry's Huckle & Lowly's Busiest Day Ever.

Oh, and I picked up a couple of "less interesting" things as well:

The Legendary Starfy for $25.00 (Used, CIB)

Spot Goes to Hollywood for $4.99 (Used, Box & Cart only)

Nintendo Power Pokemon Special Edition Guide for $0.99 (Used)

Picked up a few things at a Church Bazaar this morning. I got a sealed disk of Adobe Photoshop 5.0 Limited Edition for $.50 and was wondering if anyone knew how to tell if it is for PC or Mac? I also got an old Toshiba Laptop computer with bag for $2. I mostly bought it for the bag, which is a good thing since the computer didn't come with an AC adapter. The last thing that I got was 5 Neon Genesis Evangelion VHS tapes. These are English dubbed. And once again, as is usually the case when I find some Anime tapes/DVDs there is one missing in the string. In this case I have tapes labeled Genesis 0:1 - 0:4 and 0:6. I am assuming that there is a 0:5 somewhere out there that I didn't find. One other thing I noticed about 0:4 is that there is some writing on it is silver Sharpie. It says. "Hi Rafique! Asuka Strikes!" Underneath that is some sort of symbol. I am guessing that it may be Japanese for whoever voiced the role of Asuka since underneath that it says "Asuka" (Including the quotes). The tapes were $1 each.

Here are some pictures of the tape case:

The "symbol" could be the initials for Tiffany Grant, the voice actress for the English dub. The symbols kinda look like a cursive "T" and a "G", uppercase. I remember seeing Ms. Grant at the first Ohayocon in Cleveland, OH. Not a bad looking gal, she even had on an Asuka suit.

30% off at the local Game Crazy, which is going out of business:

Devil May Cry 4
AC/DC Rock Band
Lost: Via Domus (new)
Deadly Premonition (new)
BCFX (new)

All for $65. Not too bad I guess.

And at the local K-Mart, also closing:

Tatsunoko vs. Capcom for $35

On Monday I went to a Movie Trading Company and they had next to nothing, but I did spot a CIB copy of Phantasy Star III for the Genesis for $19.99. I thought it was a bit pricey so I said I'd check and come back later and they offered to hold it for me which was nice. After getting some feedback in the "what it's worth" section of DP all week, I decided to splurge and pick it up. I got a couple of surprises when I talked to the person holding the games for me. First, mine was still there, but also another game was set back for someone but they never came back for it.



I got the clerk to open the Dragon Force for me so I could see it and the manual and disc are in really nice (not perfect) shape but it's a really nice copy of a game I've never seen in person before. So, after debating for 15 minutes at the store, I went for it and picked up:

Dragon Force (Saturn) - complete $75
Phantasy Star III (Genesis) - complete $9.99

HUH?? The PSIII is marked at $19.99 but it rings up $9.99! Bonus! Not sure if I got a good deal on the DF, but I have 30 days to return it if I do some online research and find I paid too much, as long as I don't open it, that is.

[BetaWolf47]

Heh, you got $10 off of Phantasy Star III? Nice one there.

Okay, thanks for the info. Not being an Anime expert I had no idea who or what it was written on there. Of course it would be nice to have all the tapes, but that is par for the course for me. A few weeks ago I picked up 3 Magic Knight Rayearth tapes, 2 of which are still sealed and of course they were tapes #1, 3, and 5.

Yeah, that was great, but the whole spend $75 on DF thing kinda threw off the "great deal" part of it.

[FamicomFreak]

My Famicom with games is finally here! I think I paid a decent price of this right? Here is the auction link! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...=STRK:MEWNX:IT


Here are some pics!









That's all for now!

[pseudonym]

A very good price for that Famicom and games. I suspect that the Famicom by itself it worth what you paid.

[Shadow Kisuragi]

Yeah, the Fami alone is worth that. Awesome find...wish I'd seen it.

[JanLazer]

Snagged the last copy of Deadly Premonition (360) at a local Play n Trade today...Also learned that they're having another game blowout tomorrow..30% off all used 360 games. *evil, evil thoughts*

[Blitzwing256]

decent deal on that famicom, but keep in mind most of those games are pirate carts, but still a nice find overall :-)

[Shadow Kisuragi]

Personally...I'd love to have pirate carts. It's not something you come across every day and it makes for entertaining times

Also, in case you were trying to find the rest of the series, they go up to 0:13; so you'd have to find 0:5 and 0:7-0:13. This series took me forever to collect back when they were only release on vhs. That's a cool find the the Asuka autograph, though!
