The Small Scores Thread: Part 3!

[Sauza12]

@Sauza, what is the goal or point of the Pods game, never seen or heard of that before?

It's kind of like Simon, but you don't actually touch the pods.  Each one of them can tell how high you hover your hand over them so you have to match the pattern like Simon, but you also have to match whether it was high or low as well.

I'm totally jealous of Leisure Suit Larry by the way.  Those are my most sought after games right now.

Weird, and Cool because it is Sega.  The Leisure Suit Larry is for Sale/Trade if you want it.

Let's see...

Divinity II and Sacred 2 from VGFive.

Atelier Iris 3 Art Book from our very own Addicted. Thanks man!

Xenosaga III, which completes my "xeno" subset, and Puzzle Fighter II Turbo from Silver80.

Lastly I got a handful of Skylanders from the coworker who had sold me the game, portal, and Trigger Happy earlier in the year. Being that I have six of the eight elements now I started playing the game this morning and I love it. I would love to get my hands on a Fire and a Life figure to have all eight elements if any of you Skylanders nuts out there wants to hook me up!

[Zagnorch]

Hey now,

I picked up a second player who is already showing signs in wanting to be player one in our household:

[img width=597 height=800]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v136/cisco678/RF/ONEMINUTE_zpsf43490fa.jpg[/img]

I can tell just by looking at him that he'll be nothing but trouble as he grows up. I highly recommend-- nay, I insist that you enroll him in reform school as soon as he hits kindergarten.

Or, even better, you could make a few bucks off of the deal. Ever heard of white slavery?

Okay, time to get serious... or as serious as I'm capable of being. Here are my pickups over the last several days:

[img width=700 height=501]http://i1273.photobucket.com/albums/y409/Zagnorch/Score11-14-2013a_zpsb4e5dc8a.jpg[/img]

- Mattel Hyper Scan system with two controllers and X-Men game disc, $4.99 $3.99: forget about the 32X, Vectrex, or even the Odyssey^2, THIS is the real future of retro gaming!

- CIB PAL God of War III Platinum Hits for PS3, $0.95: another international release to add to my collection.

- CIB Super Mario Galaxy, $3.95

- Sealed Midway Arcade Treasures for PS2, and sealed Gitaroo Man Lives! & Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus for PSP, $1.95 each

- CIB Trace Memory for DS, $4.99

- HC Halo Encyclopedia, $2.95: I picked this up so I'd be more in-the-know about the Haloverse. So far it appears to be quite a bit of Warhammer 40K with more than a little of Paul Verhoeven's Starship Troopers mixed in. And of course there's the whole grizzled-space-marine deal that we've seen since Aliens and Doom...

- CIB Final Fantasy XIII-2 for 360, $5.99

Metroid Prime 2 and Contra: Shattered Soldier are from VGFive.  The rest are all from assorted ebay listings.  I was hoping to throw a couple more games in with these, but they haven't gotten here yet.  Oh well, guess they'll just get lumped in with my next scores post!

[Fleach]

Nice score Disposed Hero! Those are some high ticket games.

[Leynos]

Here is the post I was alluding to earlier. I grabbed waaaaaay more stuff than I'm going to post pictures for so here are just a small sampling of some of my favorites.

Got a new system to explore with my new Power Base Converter. Really excited to play try some of the 3D games with these glasses.

[img width=700 height=933]http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk189/Crabmaster2000/20131030_185415_zps3ce4278e.jpg[/img]

Got a few bumps to my Atlas collection. Crusaders of Centy being a big one and Persona being one of my most wanted ones. Also been curious about Go Go Hypergrind for a very long time so I can't wait to check it out.

[img width=700 height=933]http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk189/Crabmaster2000/20131030_185206_zps1a08ce10.jpg[/img]

Ignore all those crappy loose SNES RPGs I posted last time. I replaced most of them with beautiful CIB copies as well as a few new additions.

[img width=700 height=933]http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk189/Crabmaster2000/20131030_185303_zps686c0efd.jpg[/img]

My Genesis collection got a big shot in the arm over the last week, here are a few highlights. And I was a bit sad to see a copy of King's Quest on the SMS pass through the store a little while ago so I had to grab this copy.

[img width=700 height=525]http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk189/Crabmaster2000/20131030_185234_zpse228b3c6.jpg[/img]

And lastly I got a few amazing Saturn games in my collection now and a Sega CD game that I've been wanting to try for years. Its going to be a blast getting some 10 player Saturn Bomberman going soon

[img width=700 height=525]http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk189/Crabmaster2000/20131030_185345_zps7000fa48.jpg[/img]

You won the internet. Holy shit that is no small score. That's a massive score and not just in number but in awesome!

[Izret101]

^Madden is really what brought that lot together though

[Zagnorch]

Hey now!

Just got back from a thrift crawl, and dug up the following:

[img width=593 height=500]http://i1273.photobucket.com/albums/y409/Zagnorch/Score11-16-2013a_zps67e33176.jpg[/img]

- CIB KotOR II, $4.99

- CIB Mega Man Anniversary Collection (PS2), $1.95

- CIB Kindom Under Fire: Heroes (XBox), $0.95

- Sealed Pursuit Force: Extreme Justice (PSP), $1.95

- Official XBox Magazine back issue, $0.29

- The Prima Shadow the Hedgehog strategy guide I ordered came in.

- 2011 Guinness Book Gamer Edition, $2.19: Pictured in my previous small score post, but not mentioned.


Then there was this:

[img width=529 height=451]http://i1273.photobucket.com/albums/y409/Zagnorch/7fc9897e-d929-4579-b18f-23cd9dab0992_zps1b3a4446.jpg?t=1384634925[/img]

And yes, I did get it for $0.50 plus tax. But before you get all freaked out, here's a look at Disc 1:

[img width=700 height=327]http://i1273.photobucket.com/albums/y409/Zagnorch/Xeno2_zps4fa34be3.jpg?t=1384634766[/img]

Yep... it's a DDR disc. But everything else was there and in great condition, and I figured it was worth it anyway.

Finally, there's this:

[img width=477 height=590]http://i1273.photobucket.com/albums/y409/Zagnorch/2865ad34-6665-49a0-a372-8bdbdc4d5e60_zps9790d3e3.jpg?t=1384635048[/img]

Boxed Barcode Battler gaming system, $4.99: I love it when I find oddball stuff like this. At first I thought it was some sort of Sega Genesis/Mega Drive accessory, seeing as how the game unit resembled a Genesis cartridge. Instead, I discovered an interesting ancestor of the GBA e-reader. This CCG RPG from the early '90s features Hero cards, Monster cards for the heroes to fight against, and Item cards. According to the manual, you can even use UPCs from just about any item; however, the game unit decides which classification each UPC belongs to. All in all, this looks like it'll be fun to mess around with...

^Madden is really what brought that lot together though

I just sold my LOOSE copy of Madden Championship Edition for $100. It's far from the weak link in that lot.

[russlyman]

Quick pick up. Got my first 32X game. I had this back in the day but sold all my sega stuff.

I did a unboxing video on YouTube as well. Search: RussLyman.

[Disposed Hero]

^ I searched your Youtube channel (at least I think it was your channel) and couldn't find the unboxing video.  

I actually really like the NES Elm Street game.  I think it gets an undeserved bad rap mostly due to the AVGN review and the fact that it has the LJN logo on the front.

[Crabmaster2000]

Love that Freddy figure!!!!

Sorry it's up now. I had to leave my computer while I went to work for it to load. And I posted this before it finished. It's def up now though.

Thanks crabby. Trying to hunt down a Jason figure to match.
