The Small Scores Thread: Part 3!

[Crazy_Opossum]

Is that a wax record player?! That is awesome. I need one!

It's a Dictaphone, it records wax records ... I think it plays them too tho... I never checked.

I've got both of those Coleco table tops; the Pac-Man one since I was about 7. Pretty good games for the time.

I enjoy 'em ... they are quite fun to play

Man, I haven't been on RF Generation in a week, and I've missed 10 pages of awesome scores!  Just recently got a few things.  I got the NES Action Set (CIB) from thatnerd, he's a new-ish member here.  He actually lives 35 minutes from me, so we just met up and traded some stuff.  A few weeks back,  I got the Wii U Pro Controller (CIB) a few weeks ago from a trade/sale with the most awesome guy on the internet, Zagnorch.  Lastly,  I went out and picked up New Super Luigi U.  Even thought it cost $10 more than the downloadable version,  I prefer to have a physical copy.   I just hated having to wait on it to be released, while the downloadable version was already out.   My wife, son, and I have already had arguments over "accidentally" killing each other in the game.

Fleach my man. You've earned a spot at our table when you come this way For no other reason than to help me out with the opening of the store Fleach sent me this awesome spread of gaming goodies! My son and I both love Kirby games so that one might just stay at home with us though

[Fleach]

Knowing that your son loves Kirby I had a feeling you'd decide to keep that game. Hope you two have fun with that one. Sorry I took so long to get my act together from the time I picked these up for you to the time I sent them.

Happy to help!

When did the Action Set get updated to utilize a Wireless Controller and allow you to play as Luigi? Oh wait...almost 30 years ago.

So, I finally paid off my Layaway Bill for the Atari Jaguar Lot I wanted, so here it is:

Looks like most of what you had previously. That boxed MemoryTrack is sexy though.

Yes, there are some games I had previously.

[Shadow Kisuragi]

FWIW, out of all that, I wish I had that MemoryTrack and the Jag-Ads 2.0 CD.
I really need to get some games for my Jag CD.

[Razor Knuckles]

Sonic Drift (GG)
Sonic Chaos & Spinball (Plug & Play)

Final Fantasy Tactics black label: $5.47.  I don't care what everyone else thinks the best Final Fantasy game is.  It's not 12, not 9, not 6 or 7.  It's Tactics.  I adore this game. 

Dragon Warrior II: $14.99.  Decent price i guess.  A little better than retail.

Dragon Warrior III: $19.99. Same as DWII.  i couldn't pass it up   believe it or not, both of these games were found in the wild....they were just priced somewhat accordingly.

SMB 3 CIB: $6.99.  I was gonna pass on it, but i like the Challenge Set sticker.

Zelda II CIB: $19.99.  Not the greatest deal, but it's one of my favorite games of all time and i don't have the box yet.

Keep the stuff coming y'alls.

[Zagnorch]

Hey now!

Picked up a smattering of stuff over the last couple days:

- one GamePro and two Archie Sonic back issues, $0.29 each: I wonder if Raze has these two Sonic comics yet?

- BradyGames Secret Codes for PlayStation 2 and PSP 2007, Vol. 1 book, $1.99

- CIB Korean The Orange Box for PS3, $5.39 $4.23: what will Noiseredux think of this?

- The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind GOTY (no manual) for XBox, $4.99: these just keep popping up everywhere I go.

- CIB Resident Evil: the Darkside Chronicles for Wii, $4.99

- CIB Star Wars Battlefront II for PS2, $0.99 $0.49: Although it's mostly based on the prequels, the asking price was more than enough for me to compromise my principles. Or it would, if I had any principles to start with.

- HP 10B business calculator, $2.99: special thanks to Nupoile for encouraging me to branch out on the calculator thing.


Speaking of Star Wars, I'm off to George Lucas' hometown tomorrow. Gonna get me a look at the place that inspired American Graffiti...


'Late

Finally, I found these among a bunch of regular audio tapes.  I know very little about Supercharger games, so any info about them would be greatly appreciated.    Sword Of Saros, Party Mix, Dragonstomper, And Escape From The Mindmaster Supercharger Tape Games  $.25 each

Alright me amigo. What you have here are some Supercharger games for the Atari 2600. You played them with the Supercharger accessory, which went into the 2600 and connected to a tape deck, which is where the cassette went. Dragonstomper and EFTM are fairly common and don't command a whole lot since they are not CIB (under $10).  Party Mix is one of the rarer, later releases and even in it's current state, can get you a decent price. The Sword of Saros is your best find and is the rarest of your games. I've never seen a box for it, nor is one posted on AtariAge. I don't believe there ever was a box made for this title, but there were instructions produced. I think it was a very late run and didn't have much circulation. I almost have a complete licensed Starpath set and would be interested in purchasing/trading for this cassette if you have any interest.

First, sorry that I took so much time to reply, and thanks for the info.  It's very much appreciated, as even if I don't have much interest in the collecting of such games, I like knowing as much as I can about our shared hobby in as many respects as possible.  You never know when that knowledge may come in handy.

And yes, I'd be interested in doing a trade.  And don't worry about how much any of them are worth, as again, I'm not too interested in collecting them in the first place, and I only spent a quarter each on them.  I'll take a look at your FS/FT thread and see if there's anything that interests me, and if there's anything that's not on there that you might be willing to part with, just let me know about that as well.  I'm positive we'll get a deal worked out. 

And now, for the little bit I picked up this week:

[img width=700 height=393]http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7419/9688750321_4178676998_c.jpg[/img]
All came from the same local thrift store.  All three controllers look good, with only minor wear and light scratches.  The Atomic Purple's stick is a tiny bit loose, but still performs just fine as yet.    Sony Playstation Non-Analog Controller, Sony PSOne White Analog Controller, Nintendo 64 Atomic Purple Controller:  $1.50 each

The "101 Nintendo Secrets" isn't a Jeff Rovin book, and believe me when I say that it definitely shows as you read through it.  It was printed in 1999, and covers Nintendo games across the Game Boy/Game Boy Color, Super Nintendo, and N64 systems, for a total of, weirdly enough, 64 games/game series, including the Mega Man franchise, 1080 Snowboarding, and even the Game Boy Camera.  It's set up as being a kind of Q&A with the writers of the book, Terry Munson & Paul Shinoda, but with questions that aren't really questions.  In any case, it's in pretty good shape, and it does, as far as I've seen thus far, give all correct information on the codes and secrets discussed.    101 Nintendo Secrets Revealed Book  $0.25

Finally, the Microsoft Entertainment Pack 4 is, well... just that.  It boots up fine, though I haven't installed anything or played anything from the disc yet.    Microsoft Entertainment Pack 4  $1.50

I'd pick up any of these style books for that price as well. It makes me wonder how much longer tip books of any kind will be produced. I am still amazed that strategy guides continue to be published.

- HP 10B business calculator, $2.99: special thanks to Nupoile for encouraging me to branch out on the calculator thing.

That is a good find. I looked that one up on ebay, seems like everyday a couple of those sell for $15-20. Large graphing calculators have obvious value but financial calculators are a very important tool on the desk of many people who work with money. Good ones are valued and HP makes really good ones.

I never see these in the wild, which is strange as I live well within commuting distance to a HP factory.
