The Small Scores Thread: Part 3!

Nice grabs!  Banana, where is the Shaggy love???

If I find another, I shall contact you.

Ha ha, I was just messing with you.  I don't want you to be mad at me!  But I do need both.  *hint, hint*

I almost grabbed that Samus the other day just as decoration for my gameroom. Any luck summoning The Invisible Swordsman Zag?

Picked up a Vaus controller with Arkanoid for $30 at the local game shop.

The Vaus is a bit jittery, so any tips on cleaning/repairing it would be appreciated.

What is a Vaus controller? I never heard of that before.

[Beardcore84]

It's a pretty cool controller that came packed in with Arkanoid for NES. It's basically a joystick that makes moving the paddle back and forth easier. I've got one CIB.

Got this stuff in a direct trade on Leaptrade. Yeah, to be honest I'm not thrilled with the condition of Golden Sun but it happens to be one of those critically loved but not high-value rpgs. Also, most of the language on the case for KOF Heroes is in Spanish but the game is all in English. Pretty cool. I've seen French-Canadian variants, but what is this, Mexican? Came from a guy in California. Didn't know there was such a thing.

I'd be willing to nab that UKF: Heroes from you. I've got a similar Blinx copy for Xbox as well. It's likely South American/Brazilian, but they did release a few of those games - mostly first party though.

Came with the game in a big box. That's why it's not in the database. Site point of contention.

Even though I just got it and I kind of like the novelty of the Spanish on the cover, I'm not married to it. It doesn't have the manual though. Not sure if that matters to you.

Sweet! When was that added?

[Shadow Kisuragi]

I think a couple weeks ago...

I was out Christmas shopping, and picked this stuff up at a thrift store I regularly haunt:

[img width=700 height=933]http://i837.photobucket.com/albums/zz294/Jeremy_Bosco/KIMG0066.jpg[/img]

All the original XBox games are complete, except for Morrowind, which is missing the manual.  They are also all in great condition, except for the Fable, which has water damage to the case and artwork; the rest of it is undamaged.  They were $1.50 each.

The Dreamstation is a console storage unit for the Dreamcast or first model Playstation.  The spaces that say "Dreamstation" on the front hold controllers, and fold down when you want to use the console:

[img width=700 height=525]http://i837.photobucket.com/albums/zz294/Jeremy_Bosco/KIMG0071-1.jpg[/img]

I can find virtually nothing else about it online, and only one is on eBay at the moment, being sold along with a PS1 lot.  Mine was 2 bucks by itself.

Finally, the green thing on top of the Dreamstation is a weird PSP knockoff, mainly in that it's not electronic at all.  It's a water ring toss game clearly directed at small kids, considering the artwork on the background is a cutesy lion cub and elephant calf:

The "d-pad" and button cluster are actually one large button each, and are used to push the water in the unit to move the rings.  The "shoulder buttons" are weird dials with the numbers 1 through 6 on them, and serve absolutely no purpose to the game whatsoever.  There are several others I've found online, including a blue and white, Christmas-themed one with a snowman and an elf:

...but none that have the same background as mine.  I only paid 50 cents for it.

I also picked up some other stuff, but since that's going to my Secret Santa match, I'm not saying anything more.

That Dream Station is cool! I bet my new Dreamcast would look awesome in it!

[shaggy]

I thought you guess might get a kick out of this. I was going through some of my filed papers and came across this. I didn't think it warranted a separate thread so I'm throwing it in here. Oh nostalgia!

These are my finds from the past couple days.
