The Small Scores Thread: Part 3!

[Boshamp]

I don't have much experience with horror titles, (RE4 being the only one I have really played), but this game really did get my attention. It looks like a lot of fun.

[Fokakis79]

I got some more board games to add to my collection. One of note is Tetris and a beautiful complete Electronic Battleship.


Picked up  CIB Shadow of the Beast for 7.00

I am running out of room for my Board Game Collection

Did you find that Battleship at the Value Village in Tukwila?

No, I got it from the Salvation Army Thrift in Seattle

@disposedhero, really interested in Evil Within as well as the new Alien game, I want to pick up a PS4 just for those games, oh and being a Dark Souls fan, I gotta get Bloodborne

[Boshamp]

Salvation army...that is a thrift store I haven't heard about in years. The last one in Denver was less than a block away from me and it finally shut down while I was in middle school. I wish they would come back, Goodwill is getting out of hand and could use some competition.

So far the ones I have been to have really great prices, sometimes they have things in their collectables section priced high, but more often than not, stuff is pretty reasonable, a steal at times.

Picked these up for $20 yesterday.

[zcrich01]

Grabbed sonic advance 2 cib for 10 bucks at half price books today

[Boshamp]

Gosh, a CIB Advance game. I haven't seen those since they were new. ha ha Nice!

Love seeing the Timesplitters games, but the only way to play is on the 'Cube...just sayin' You are forgiven though. Classic Mario platforming always makes things better.

This is stuff I picked up from thrifts up through the end of September.  Nothing really that spectacular, but the 360 controller was nice.  It's absolutely flawless and was only $6.  The big box PC games were also nice for $3 a piece.  The Final Fantasy DS game I got from a K Mart near me that was closing down for $8.  Everything else was between $1 and $3 a piece.

Awesome dude.  Elite force is great.  It's like quake 3 Star Trek

[Zagnorch]

Aaaand finally, the coolest find of the week:

[img width=400 height=616]http://i1273.photobucket.com/albums/y409/Zagnorch/Score10-15-2014e_zps9c023361.jpg?t=1413410428[/img]

At first glance, I thought this was some sort of electronic combination of Battleship and Space Invaders with a little Missile Command thrown in for good measure. Very odd, yet interesting. Turns out it's...

[img width=422 height=621]http://i1273.photobucket.com/albums/y409/Zagnorch/Score10-15-2014f_zps6ca016fe.jpg?t=1413410467[/img]

...Epoch's Black Bomber, the fifth awesome addition to my collection of Epoch brand / Epoch-licensed electronic games. And it appears to be complete from what I can tell.

[img width=550 height=538]http://i1273.photobucket.com/albums/y409/Zagnorch/Score10-15-2014g_zps3618e130.jpg?t=1413410503[/img]

Turns out it's almost entirely mechanical; the only electric part are the lights for the planes, bombs, and ships/sunken-ship point scores. The orange dial "winds up" the game, which also acts as a timer. It plays like a pachinko machine, where internal balls are put into play with the orange lever on the right side, and show up on the "screen" as bombs falling on the ships. It's much more a game of luck than skill, which is a bit disappointing. Also disappointing: the machine doesn't keep a running count of your score.   Looks pretty cool, though, if nothing else.

All right, back to you.

[Fokakis79]

@zagnorch, Very cool Epoch find, I don't know much about those handhelds but from what I see they look very awesome. Also great price on those DS Lites, I wish I could find those around here for that price, I kinda need one so I can justify to pick up the Castlevania DS games.

[RetroRage]

Not a bad lil grab today.  I've never played Sunset Riders before...

[img width=700 height=933]http://i1072.photobucket.com/albums/w365/adsanislo/20141015_211844_zpsfyyohkc6.jpg[/img]

But for $1.99 I'll give it a shot

[img width=700 height=933]http://i1072.photobucket.com/albums/w365/adsanislo/20141015_211826_zpsnxbogwgx.jpg[/img]

Stay tuned, I got something really cool coming in tomorrow.  32x guys youre on notice...

[Slowman]

Wow, nice grab!   ^^^  Very rarely do I get something cool at a steal of a price from a thrift store but it's a good feeling.

[RetroExplorer]

Not a bad lil grab today.  I've never played Sunset Riders before...

A very nice find. The SNES version was different from the Sega, so you'll have to play both to really find out what you've missed out on. The SNES was more like the arcade version.

[SirPsycho]

Love seeing the Timesplitters games, but the only way to play is on the 'Cube...just sayin' You are forgiven though. Classic Mario platforming always makes things better.

Good Gamecube games are like unicorns around here. Besides, those two completed the series for me on one of my main systems no less.
