The Small Scores Thread: Part 2!

[Techie413]

Yes, Sir!  I got my latest http://www.videogameboxprotectors.com/ order in last week.  Great stuff and all in one place.

[russlyman]

Man the hunt is on with everyone. Some great finds. I need some 32X games. I think I'm missing one of the connectors for mine though. I def need Doom32X and I had a few other games growing up. Also need a sega CD. I loved me some corpse killer and sewer shark. Also had Lunar :0( won't get that back.

I need to update my inventor on here as well. Been updating my app on my phone as well. I use sort it. Works pretty good.

[Techie413]

Small scores for others, I suppose.  I finished sorting all the extra games from the Play n Trade buyout...finally.

As mentioned before, four members took advantage of the freebies.  Those packages are ready to ship.  And I have enough remaining for one more package, possibly two.  First requester takes it, but you must pay for the Flat Rate shipping.  Games range from Atari 2600 to current but are completely random and will likely include a lot of sports games.  WHO WANTS A 10 LBS BOX OF RANDOM GAMES?  Yes, the boxes are crammed full and the average weight of each is about 10 lbs.  I will query your collection to verify I'm not sending something you already have.

Went and did some running around with Nick and his brother again.  Ended up with Mega Man 8 and Saga Frontier on PS, Journey to Silius and Snake Rattle and Roll on NES, Mr. Do!, Zaxxon, and Cosmic Avenger on ColecoVision.  Finally snagged a gold Ocarina of Time cart, and picked up Samurai Shodown on 3DO.

Other pickups were Twilight Princess on Wii, Dark Wizard for Sega CD, and a pair of Wico Command Control sticks for 5200.

and then there was the IMPULSE BUY OF THE WEEK that I may end up hating myself for, and would have hated myself for passing up on it anyhow.  So after arguing with the voices in my head I snagged this...

the box is a bit rough, but the system and other stuff in the box is in great shape.

There's so much good stuff in this score. "Journey to Silius" is one of the most underrated games on the NES. Any fan of Mega Man types of games needs to pick it up (other than "The Krion Conquest", it might be the most Mega Man-ie game out there).

Mr Do! on the colecovision is my favourite game on the system (so far) and the best port of the game I've tried so far.

That model of the 3DO is so much cooler looking that pretty much any other system out there. Unfortunately, I only own the Goldstar 3DO (my buddy got obsessed when he played mine and now owns 3 FZ-1s and one FZ-10). I can't see how anyone can regret buying a 3DO, these days. There's a perception that it's a shitty system. That's the furthest thing from the truth. It was just a terribly marketed system. I love the feel of the controllers (Goldstar and Panasonic). If you're looking for a cheap game from every genre to try, I recommend: Gex - platformer, Super Street Fighter II Turbo - fighting game (one of, if not the best port of the game), Road Rash - Racing (Easily the best port of the game), Guardian War - RPG (It's a weird little strategy RPG at 1/100th of the price of the "other" RPG on the system). You should be able to score those games for no more than $10 a piece (depending on your condition/completedness needs) and they'll give you a good sense of what the system can do. The system also has many FPSs (which it does relatively well) and a ton of space shooters (in the Starfox mold) which is probably its specialty. Admittedly, I've never tried a sports game on the 3DO.

Jealous of those 5200 Wicos. Great grabs Engel.

Saw them sitting on a table back behind the counter and asked the guy, "Are those wico sticks?  and are they for sale?"    He grabbed em for me to look at, and asked his manager about them.  Got them for 1.95 each as generic Atari controllers! haha

[wildbil52]

I didn't know you we're so close to a complete 32x set, nick. Nice work!

[Shadow Kisuragi]

The 3DO FZ1 is just so cool looking.  Grab a copy of Super Street Fighter II Turbo & Gex and feel your doubts melt away.  At $700 I can see why the 3DO was so hated, but with them going for under $100 these days I hope they are now more appreciated.

I was just discussing the price for the 3DO with Engel last night after finding out how much he paid - apparently, they're no longer under $100 now. FZ-1 loose is selling for close to $150 now.
