Title: My first big finds of the year. Car boot. Post by: thx1138 on April 17, 2005, 01:24:13 AM It was a good day at the carboot. Sod all there retro wise, but I got there early, as the first stalls unpacked, and bought some stuff as soon as it was put out. One youth selling his dad's stuff, I bought some ps1 games from him, took my phone number, and said he'd phone about the commodores in the loft...... fingers cross
anyway, the swag; Boxed Megadrive Mk2, very scruffy box, near mint inside, with FIFA 96, Road Rash, Megagames 1 just £3 !! NES loose, James Bond Jnr £1.50 These PS1 games for £1 each, complete; Rosco McQueen (ex rental) Skullmonkeys Chessmaster 2 Medievil Dune Colin McRae Rally 2 Motorhead Kurushi and these two froma different stall for £5 Oddworld Abes Oddysee Star Wars Rebel Assualt 2 I needed all of those games for my collection too! and an old boxed electronic toy from the late 70's by GT Action for 50pence; Intercept edit: Oh yeah,, and a slightly unusual atari compatible joystick. Boxed, made by Toshiba. 50pence. I did so well, price wise, that I risked £25 on a lot of Star Wars and Star Trek roleplaying books, and reference books, to try to sell on eBay, as I bought the lot, they let me keep the holdall they were in, and it's quite a good one. I like to speculate"a few quid on ebay "stock" that I have a hunch about without knowing for sure, to me it's more fun than putting money on a horse. Title: Re: My first big finds of the year.

http://www.handheldmuseum.com/Misc/LakesideIntercept.htm this is a pic of mine from the Handheld Museum. nice lot! I've been looking for Skullmonkeys and Medievil. I have found them a few times but always in rather nasty shape. Title: Re: My first big finds of the year. Car boot. Post by: Arrrhalomynn on April 17, 2005, 04:33:21 AM Skullmonkeys has a brilliant intro. Go watch it right away. And Medievil is very good too, although a bit short. Colin McRae is very very very good. Great game.

I will watch Skullmonkeys tonight. Powderpuff Girls is a game with a great intro, but no fun to play. Abes Odyssey has a good intro, but it's a good game too Title: Re: My first big finds of the year. Car boot. Post by: den68 on April 17, 2005, 04:57:57 AM the 2 Abe games for PS1 were both excellent. the Munch one they did for Xbox looked great but wasn't as original I thought.

From mrs.thx's finds, and my finds, I traded in all theMegadrive stuff, except Earth Worm Jim which I kept, along with a few common loose titles, and 3 loosed NHL 96 games (threw the cases away - there is a set price for loose games, higher than Id get for a boxed common!!!), a ps1 mem card, and an original gameboy for an instore credit note of £35 - this stuff cost me about £14 Now, last week, I could have got Zelda double screen game and watch, for £39.99, cos the kid on the counter, told me it had just came in, and wasn't out on display yet. Buy, since then, someone has priced it up to £59.99 PISS OFF! It's not worth that. Anyway, I got with my credit; SNES (loose) Super Ghouls and Ghosts Megadrive (cib) Pac Panic (trade bait) PS1 (all cib); Monkey Hero Pro Backgammon (this I will play lots! Been looking for a good backgammon game) Devil Dice Magical Drop 3 Yetisports Deluxe Game Gear (loose) Slider Wonder Boy - the dungeon trap Title: Re: My first big finds of the year. Car boot.
