Hey now,

Another week, another smattering of scores:

[img width=700 height=512]http://i1273.photobucket.com/albums/y409/Zagnorch/Score9-23-2013a_zpscb39e158.jpg[/img]

- Super NES with 2 controllers, AV & power cables, Super Mario World cart, and an N64 controller pak: My best friend and I were walking with a small group through a local neighborhood, when we happened upon a yard sale that had this. The lady holding the sale asked $10 for it, and I accepted... but I didn't have any cash on me, so I bummed it from my friend. Only problem was, he had just $8 on him. Fortunately, the seller accepted, and now I owe my main man two Starbucks venti frappuccinos for helping me out.

- BradyGames Resident EVil 4 guide, $2.99: Crabs, if you ever feel like borrowing this some time, just let me know.  Wink

- CIB GOldenEye for Wii, $5.99: I've heard that this is a somewhat disappointing remake of the original N64 classic. I'll find out soon enough.

- Hip Gear hard GBA SP storage case with stereo speakers, $3.99: more oddball accessories I took a liking to.

- CIB Nintendo Mini-Classic Fire!, Parachute, and Donkey Kong Junior LCD keychain games, $3.49 each: two of 'em still have the TRU price tags on. BTW I'm still on the fence over whther or not I should open these bad boys up and play 'em...

- Hard drive I harvested from a non-functioning PS3


[img width=684 height=499]http://i1273.photobucket.com/albums/y409/Zagnorch/Score9-23-2013b_zps570268d7.jpg[/img]

- CIB PS2 Games, $1.95 each:

   - Drakengard
   - Manhunt 2
   - Crazy Taxi
   - Army Men: Green Rogue
   - Crash of the Titans
: I enjoyed the DS version of this game, so I figured I'd give this version a go.

- CIB Frantix for PSP, $1.95

- CIB Super Mario Sunshine, $0.95: Hey Bil, I'll give you a special bottomless-money-pit-on-the-way-- errr, I mean a precious-bundle-of-joy-on-the-way discount for this one. Just PM me, and we'll talk turkey...  Tongue

Congrats Bil. I watch the YouTube video he made too. Awesome.
Sorry I haven't posted my scores in a bit. I have been busy juggling three jobs now. Ha. So on the way to work at the video game store I swung in Goodwill and bammmmmm
[img width=478 height=640]http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/09/25/3ysyvypa.jpg[/img]
Scored all these for $20. There were more but I left them for someone else. I did ended up trading these in when I got to work. I got $60 store credit. Which I used today to get
[img width=478 height=640]http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/09/25/emupy4y2.jpg[/img]
Jak & Daxter the lost frontier. Mario&Luigi Bowsers inside story. Werewolf for NES. And Super Princess Peach for Ds
I got Gold medal challenge from Addicted on here. Another down for my Capcom collection.
I have $20 left on credit.

I also picked this up a few weeks back[img width=478 height=640]http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/09/25/maqysa5y.jpg[/img]
[img width=478 height=640]http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/09/25/uby8ener.jpg[/img]

You should play Grandia II. I'm sure bil's too busy to enjoy the disc I sent him but I got my enjoyment out of it. It's amazing. I guess if worse comes to worse I still have the inferior ps2 port.

Edit: And Skies. I'm not selling or trading my complete copy, that's my DC grail for now.

I've got one of these opened, and one sealed. I'd say leave them sealed. The games are interesting, but they're no Game & Watch.

Nice grabs there, Russ. The GBC knock-off looks pretty good, and the price is definitely nice.

Also glad to hear more Skies of Arcadia love. Good man, Psycho.

There were multiple releases too. Something the crazy Nintendo collectors apparently are not aware of. Strike while the iron is hot

Greetings from Terra,

- CIB Nintendo Mini-Classic Fire!, Parachute, and Donkey Kong Junior LCD keychain games, $3.49 each: two of 'em still have the TRU price tags on. BTW I'm still on the fence over whther or not I should open these bad boys up and play 'em...

I've got one of these opened, and one sealed. I'd say leave them sealed. The games are interesting, but they're no Game & Watch.

I already have a loose DK Jr. mini classics unit, so no troubles there. It's just that I usually buy games with the intent of playing them, and not just put 'em on display for people to gawk at in slack-jawed ecstasy. But these look so awesome in their original, close-to-pristine packaging, opening them up would be almost as criminal as repainting a wavebird controller.   Wink

Speaking of which:

I also picked this up a few weeks back[img width=478 height=640]http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/09/25/maqysa5y.jpg[/img]

Oh, so a GBA SP-- a legitimate one, that is-- wasn't good enough for you, huh? God, first the wavebird thing, and now this. Where does it end with your criminal activities? One wonders how you can even sleep at night...  Tongue

But I digress. I did a morning thrift crawl on my day off and snagged the following swag.

[img width=539 height=573]http://i1273.photobucket.com/albums/y409/Zagnorch/Score9-24-2013_zpsec5d549b.jpg?t=1379992076[/img]

- 10 NES and N64 carts for $15:
   - Mario Kart 64
   - Cruis'n USA
   - Super Smash Bros.
   - GoldenEye
   - Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse
   - Vice: Project Doom
   - Gargoyle's Quest II
   - Kabuki Quantum Fighter
   - Ninja Gaiden II
and III

- CIB Haunted house for Wii, $3.99

- CIB Bloodrayne 2 for XBox, $3.99

- CIB Speedball 2100 for PS1, $2.99

- Archie Sonic the Hedgehog #109 and Sonic Blast Super Special, $0.29 each: yet again, the local Savers comes through.

- Aaaand finally, an HP S28 scientific calculator for $3.49. A big thank-you to Mr. Nupoile for widening my high-end calculator frontiers beyond the TI-80 series. Now I just have to find some "N"-size batteries to see if this bad boy actually works...

There were multiple releases too. Something the crazy Nintendo collectors apparently are not aware of.

The Fire! one has two releases in the database; fortunately, I possess the original release.

Speaking of multiple releases: I also have three loose ones with Mentor Graphics logos on the back, and a URL on the front, right above the screen.

[img width=584 height=371]http://i1273.photobucket.com/albums/y409/Zagnorch/MentorClassics1_zps711e65bd.jpg[/img]

[img width=500 height=372]http://i1273.photobucket.com/albums/y409/Zagnorch/MentorClassics2_zps94db88ed.jpg[/img]

I've been trying to dig up some info on these, with little success. Were these promotional giveaways at a trade show, or employee prizes? Were they packaged, or were they distributed loose? I'd love to add these to the database as variants, but they don't have product codes printed on 'em. And as I recall, I need either UPCs or product codes to submit 'em.  Sad

Nah, I'm keepin' 'em. Besides, I have other stuff to resell...

Gotta make you jealous every once in a while. And since the 49ers aren't cutting it in that department  embarrassed, my HP calc pickups are the next-best thing.  Wink
