The Small Scores Thread: Part 2!

[Deadman]

Picked up a GunCon 2 for Playstation at the Goodwill today. Does anyone know what games I should get, so I can play with it?

Area 51 was fun.   Also I used to love Die Hard Trilogy, but not sure if it's held up.

Nice mix of stuff, there.

Here's the new stuff I've gotten in the last couple weeks:

[img width=700 height=523]http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8124/8643368759_9f9f94d2eb_c.jpg[/img]

I don't even really collect GBA games, but I got great deals on all of this stuff. Everything is in excellent condition. (Not pictured: A sealed copy of Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones that was shipped in a bubble mailer and mangled on it's way to me. Seller took no responsibility. Already re-listed on eBay to try and recoup some of my cost.)

[img width=700 height=523]http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8262/8643368477_678521db96_c.jpg[/img]

There's a real Fire Emblem theme happening...

[img width=598 height=800]http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8100/8644466144_5aecef2290_c.jpg[/img]

These are the games I snagged for dirt cheap (relative to retail cost) on eBay. The box for DWIII is absolutely the nicest NES box I've ever seen. It's beautiful.

[img width=700 height=523]http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8399/8643368977_9631e3ed09_c.jpg[/img]

They also just so happen to complete my NES CIB set!! This was one of my very first collecting goals when I started collecting. It took me 12 years, but I finally finished.

[GrayGhost81]

Congrats Bad Enough Dude! The original Dragon Warrior was one of the first games I ever played.

Here's what I got today:

[img width=700 height=525]http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h32/grayghost81/2013-04-12204308_zps1b100443.jpg[/img]

Everything except the 360 games are from Gamestop. Shout out to KidA for pointing out the 50% off sale they are having right now. Every thing here is only a buck or two each right now. All these titles except Red Steel 2 and Battalion Wars 2 were purchased for trade fodder so if anyone needs any of this junk let me know.

The 360 games, Viking: Battle For Asgard and Two Worlds came from my new friend the_wizard_666, with whom I worked out a nice trade on this board. Thanks dude!

[Sauza12]

God I love the Dragon Warrior series.  Nice grabs!

I mentioned probably a month ago about a thrift I went to that reeked of weed.  I went back there today and two things happened:

1)  It doesn't smell like weed anymore, so I guess they left the doors open to air it out.
2)  I grabbed a pretty WTF game from there.

[img width=640 height=480]http://i50.tinypic.com/34s1isz.jpg[/img]

On the right side that's a PAL copy of Brian Lara Cricket for the PS1.  I've very, very rarely seen any import games around here even at retro game shops, so to find one at a Salvation Army thrift in the middle of shitty neighborhood that previously smelled like Snoop Dog's tour bus was beyond bizarre.  For $2 I couldn't pass it up.  I'm assuming it won't, but does anyone know if it will work on an un-modded NTSC PS1?  I'd kind of like to give it a spin.

[Zagnorch]

Hey now!

Wanna see my hot dog?

Sure you do!

Just scroll on down to take a long, hard look!
















Slowly now, that's it...










Mmmm yeah.....

















You like that, don't you?








Aaaaand here you go:

[img width=550 height=580]http://www.mediafire.com/convkey/39c1/0do55b01ojrfio76g.jpg[/img]

Yep, got me a Wally World-exclusive Skylanders Giants Molten Hot Dog, as well as a glow-in-the-dark Sonic Boom.


I also hit the thrifts, and grabbed...

- BradyGames Cheat Code Explosion book, $0.99

- Japanese-language Tales of the Abyss manga vol. 1, $0.99

[[img width=415 height=459]http://www.mediafire.com/convkey/409d/7a2g2aoof2fta106g.jpg[/img]

I also did some trades at a local used-media joint, and picked up the following CIB titles...

- Ball Breakers, PS1

- SpyBorgs, Wii

- Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker, PSP

- Atari Classics Evolved, PSP

- Star Wars Rebel Strike preview disc

Elsewhere, I found a CIB copy of Super Smash Bros. Brawl for $5.95 and Dungeons & Dragons Tactics for $1.95.


Then there was the biggest grab of the week today when, on my lunch break,  I went to the Goodwill near my workplace:

[img width=673 height=532]http://www.mediafire.com/convkey/4d81/hxhheylxm8vha8z6g.jpg[/img]

For $14.99 I got the Game Boy with case and the following carts:

- Metroid 2: Return of Samus

- Yoshi

- Super Mario Land

- Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden COins

- Mega Man: Dr. Wiley's Revenge

- Home Alone

- the New Chessmaster

- Tiny Toon Adventures: Babs' Big break

- Sports Illustrated Championship Football & Baseball


Then there were the Super Nes and N64 carts I snapped up for $1.99 a pop...

Super NES:

- StarFox

- Super Mario Kart

- Super Mario World

- The Lion King

- Mario Paint

- Donkey Kong Country

- TMNT IV: Turtles in Time: this is one I've been  looking to add to my stack for quite some time.


N64:

- Diddy Kong Racing

- LoZ: Ocarina of Time

- LoZ: Majora's Mask gold cart

- Super Mario 64

- Mario Golf

- GoldenEye

- Quest 64


I picked out three of the above carts from the electronics showcase. When I came to the counter to ring up, the cashier told me there were several more SNES and N64 games in a box behind the counter he hadn't yet put in the showcase, and asked me if I wanted to take a look at 'em. Is that the best timing ever or what?

Do you know why they called that game "The Tick"?  Anyone?  Anyone?  Anyone?

Because it sucks.

[RetroRage]

Just got home from the Cowlitz expo.  Met Nupoile there....it's ok if you're jealous.

FF7 was only $15!  Black label!  It's missing disc 1, but i know i have one laying around here somewhere.

Chrono Trigger i bought a few days ago.  Retail, but i was getting the itch pretty bad so i had to grab it.

Nupoile gave me Bill and Ted, another lovely game brought to you by LJN

Also Streets of Rage 2 is one of my favorite games ever so i couldn't pass it up,

Gradius 3, i love me some gradius

And DJ Boy is for a friend

Good times.  Long drive.

[Sauza12]

I went shoppin' and had a great time.

Wow, that's a great price for all of that!  Hell, the Sonic CD is probably worth the $20 by itself.

I went out to a few more thrifts today.  Finally found a Gamecube game that's actually worth owning.

[img width=640 height=480]http://i48.tinypic.com/31276ti.jpg[/img]

Also, big boxes are awesome.
