The Small Scores Thread: Part 3!

[Techie413]

Dang, it looks like everyone has been doing well over the last week.  Zag, I have an earlier version of Fox Sports Football to add to your collection, if you want it.  bsr241 made out very well with some SMS goodies.   And Sauza12's pickups make a lot of us drool, including the 2600 carts.  If my Woody could enjoy the Taiwan goodness...  Sorry, seemed dirty there.

I had some interesting finds at a thrift store tonight:

Sim Tower for Mac, which had a bunch of random stuff in the box*
Star Wars Tie Fighter for Mac - Box, Manual, single CD.
Command and Conquer 4: Tiberian Twilight for PC
Command and Conquer: Tiberian Sun Platinum Edition for PC
*Tom Clancy's Politika Demo Disc - SOMEONE MUST KNOW ABOUT THIS ONE.
*Star Wars Rebel Assault for Mac loose
2Xtreme and 3xtreme for PS1
*Riven manual - free to anyone that needs it.
Homeworld 2 for PC with manual.
And the Killer Instinct is FS/FT.

If anyone wants any of these grabs, trades are considered.

Value doesn't always mean monetary. I did a trade on here a while back with Ghost Soldier that was a great example of that. He traded me a copy of Earthbound for a copy of Chiller. There is a significant price difference and rarity difference there, but we both left happy. A while later I ended up trading the Earthbound for a huge stack of Nintendo Power Mags, again with a huge rarity/price difference. As long as both people leave with a smile you nailed the "value".

I concur

Love the pirate Taiwan 2600 titles Sauza. Little Bear is sort of a Frostbite clone, E.T. Go Home is a game not released in the U.S., Chinese Konfu is Dishaster, See Saw is Circus Atari I believe, and Mr. Postman is a pretty neat game that I believe was originally released by CCE of Brazil.

I haven't posted any scores in awhile but I managed to grab a few more things lately:

First up:

Got me a Jungle Green N64 off Duke Togo through Nintendo Age. Also got a Strider manual from him as well which completes my copy. Thanks again sir.

Next:

All from Game Quest. Yay! TMNT IV! Mach Rider makes 290 NES games for me. I was telling Crabmaster yesterday of my planned ten game push to the 300 game milestone. It wont be cheap....

Also from Game Quest:

[img width=700 height=525]http://i1375.photobucket.com/albums/ag478/michaelrancourt/9F17BC93-2A3B-4558-97EB-CC7FA29638D0_zpsdowfg4xc.jpg[/img]


Been bugging Crabby for awhile that I wanted ABAHB for Wii cause he hadn't had any copies in his store for awhile. Was also happy to get the first Deception off him as well. Just need the third one and I should be caught up.

Just about forgot to include this guy:

This is going to be my game i bounce to in between Chrono Trigger checkpoints.

Lastly from Game Quest:

Another thing I have been waiting to get traded in to the Crab Shack AKA Game Quest, was (A) a Sega CD game that would effectually make me want to buy a Sega CD, and (B) some kind of console be it, a JVC X'Eye, CDX or the Model 2 Sega CD to play the game from (A).  Check and Check. Also got another console off of my Collecting Goals for 2014.

Looks nice

[Shadow Kisuragi]

Spectrum HoloByte. They published a lot of great software.
Love the look of the box and manual there. Is that based off the Arcade version?

[singlebanana]

@ EngineerMike - That "A Boy and his Blob" rehashing for Wii is a great platformer with very nice hand-drawn graphics and fantastic puzzle-solving elements. I think you are really going to enjoy that. I'd love to do a playthrough for that game sometime.

I believe it's an enhanced remake based of their first Tetris game released back in 1987 on the PC/Tandy.

I did make one stop at the tiny game store in the tiny town of Powell, WY. This place has changed ownership so much over the years, I got in on the 3rd, and this guy bought the place on the 1st. He didn't know anything about the product he had, he was more interested in getting the store remodeled for his PC repair business in the back than he was in moving his product. There was still a ton of stuff I remember still on the shelves from when I lived there 4 years ago...so I understand why the ownership changed so many times, nobody can move the product. I saw a CIB NES U-force on the shelves, but I had never heard of that controller before, and I also wasn't about to drop 60 bucks on something I had no information on.

U-Force is the funnest NES peripheral to goof around with. Ive had a ton of fun with friends whenever we bust it out.

[Boshamp]

I looked up the u-force once I got home, pretty negative reviews even when compared to the power glove. Looks like it was a technology ahead of it's time though. I kind of wish they invested in more odd controllers with the SNES and 64. Who knows what they might have tried to come up with?

What, The Glove wasn't good enough for you?

[Shadow Kisuragi]

That was my immediate thought earlier.
Use that bad boy with the Reality Vest:

[Boshamp]

That....isn't the glove I was referring to...is that an N64 glove? I have never even heard of such a thing. Plus a vibrating vest for the 64? I missed out on some odd stuff, it seems...

Also. I forgot to post them, but I also got four disc only games for .25 each since they were so scratched. Xbox live arcade demo, MLB slugfest 2004, NBA 2K3, and True Crime: Streets of LA.

[Shadow Kisuragi]

Yes, they're both N64 accessories.
