Title: Recent Finds - June 2004
Post by: Lord Nepenthean on June 08, 2004, 07:25:41 AM
Anybody find or buy any new video game stuff lately?

I haven't been able to make it out much lately because of various reasons, but I did find a game on my own shelf that I hadn't played in about a thousand years: Quake III.

Hopefully I can get out this week and do some real hunting.  Anybody have any good finds yet this month?

No interesting finds, but I did have a very nice sale. I bought jewels of the oracle for the saturn fof 4 euros and sold it for 104. That was pretty cool.

I haven't found much of anything this month.  I went to a huge subdivision sale last weekend and only came away with David Beckhams Soccer, an Aladdin Tiger handheld, some sort of Gauntlet travel board game that I'll have to post pictures of and a CD rack for $.50.

A Gauntlet travel game?  This I gotta see, or at least hear some more about.  Any company names or copyright years on it?  You know anything about this, Laurel?

I don't know about copyright dates, but I do know that it was made by Tiger, and it is part of thier klix line.  I can't properly describe it, so I'll try to get some pictures up by the end of the week.

As I just posted on the old forums, got a boxed SNES with SF2, an extra pad, instructions etc, plus a C64 (original version) with a bunch of games, couple of tape decks, joystick & so on for £19 the lot, which was pleasing :)

@Den, it will probably be quicker if you post a picture of that Gauntlet game.  I'm still not even sure how to post my pictures up here.  :-[

We don't have an attachment option yet.  Would that be something you people would use, if I added it to the boards?

I forgot, last weekend but one, I bought a boxed A5000 computer, with monitor sadly not working, but it works with my PC monitor anyway, and a small amount of software, for £10 :)

@Nep I think that would be a great addition to the boards.  I vote yay.

Once I get my other PC back and working (power supply died the other day), I'll try to get that added to the boards.

I had a pretty good C64 score last night. I picked up about  75 disks loaded with games for $7 bucks. there's probably about 300 games between them. I haven't tested them yet though.
