Thanks, but jansolee66 has me beat with that $20 Dragon Fighter.  I paid more for my Famicom copy.

I've neglected to post my scores in here this summer. I'm going to try to be good about it moving forward. I will say that I had 3 pretty big scores this summer.

The first was a mega RPG lot (~25 games) at a yard sale. I pretty much gave the guy everything I had in my pocket (just under $80). I've actually traded a lot of it away for more than I paid. Some highlights were: Wild Arms 5 on PS2, Mana Khemia and Guide on PS2, Shin Megami Tensei Persona on PSP, Sands of destruction on DS. Eternal Sonata on XBox 360. All of the unnamed games were still pretty desirable titles (a pretty even mix of PS2, PSP and DS.

The second was a stack of very desirable, if not rare N64 games, at a flea market. There was no junk and I paid just over $20 for Mario 64, Bomberman 64, Diddy Kong Racing, Goldeneye, Donkey Kong 64 and Starcraft 64.

The third was at the same flea market. There's an old guy who usually has crazy prices (i.e., Super Mario Bros 3 for $35). He had a bunch of games in zilocks and I found a gem with a relatively tiny price tag -- Dragon Fighter ($20)

That is one fine game you got there.  Price wise, not sure about playwise.

I actually like Dragon Fighter quite a bit.  It's not as good as Ninja Gaiden or Vice: Project Doom, but it's a respectable action platformer.

Jealous still need that one to cross off my lists

Me, too.

When I wrote that I meant to say because I never have played it.  If it is like Ninja Gaiden or VPD, I'll like it!

HEY NOW!!!

I just found the most awesomest thing EVAR!!!!111ONE11ONE1ONE1!!!

All right, let's pop the top offa this bad boy and take a look inside:

Okay, seriously, what is it with J.C.'s goofy expression? You'd think the king of Kings would be a bit more dignfied. And don't get me started with the guy to his right. Looks like he literally took a few "Bong Hits for Jesus..."

Whoa, we got us a few bonus goodies in here:

Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition, it's a pair of Sega Saturn Stunner light guns!

And of course a pair of calculators. Go figure... so to speak.

Seriously, an anime show about spinning-top battles? What next, an anime show about a children's card game?

A game within a game? SYMBOLISM!


All right, time to rummage through the Jesus game now.

Nothing says "love" like some poor slob staked to a couple pieces of wood.

It's a good thing this came with the instruction sheet, 'cuz I just might wanna actually play it some day.

The top edge of the game board reads, "By every words and sentences from the Lord - play with you together - enjoy to have fun - full of blessing - achieve in your life." If anybody knows which Bible book, chapter and verse(s) that's from, please let me know.

A fistful of Christ-dollars


Now you know the REAL reason why Jesus threw all those moneychangers out of the temple: He wanted all the business for Himself!

Damn, that's a big bag o' markers and what-have-you. And aren't those chibi disciple playing pieces just the kee-yootest things evar? Well, except for that no-good rat-fink Judas.

Topping things off are seven decks of cards. Perhaps they symbolize the Seven Seals? In any case, if I ever do try to play this, I know which deck I'm gonna use:

Hell yeah... if you'll pardon the expression.


Oh, and in case you actually care, here are a few pics of the magnetic levitation game:

@Norch: Nice haul there, especially the Saturn guns and Super Princess Peach. That board game though... wow.

@Shaggy: Zanac is really good. Give it a whirl.

Thanks for the tip.  I'll give it a whirl.

Definitely a top small-score of the year if there ever was one.

@Shaggy: Zanac is really good. Give it a whirl.

Wow, I didn't know Norv suffered from anxiety and panic attacks. I sure hope it helps him out...

I'll take two in the morning and let you know how I am.

Some nice scores, people!  Here's my small batch of finds yesterday at a pair of pawn shops:

Got these Friday. $3 for the lot. Not a bad deal, if you ask me.
