the small score's thread

[den68]

you don't see many Gameboy games at all. I have found a few Gameboy Color games CIB.

I do see tons of Gameboy's though and pockets. The Gameboy colors are starting to turn up a bit too. a lot of times they are overpriced or missing the battery door though.

Oh no i see hundreds and hundreds of Gameboy/GBC games they are always cart only.

I see various gameboy systems but those never get bought so once a store gets one they have the same one sitting on their shelves for a LONG time.

I see tons of GBCs too. Not too many GBP or GBs.

[den68]

hundreds of Gameboy games? around here not even the Gamestops or EB's have that many original Gameboy games. at thrifts it's a rare occurence for one to turn up.

Specialty shops are your friend
Always support your local games shop and they will be able to support you.

[den68]

oh I've spent my fair share in such establishments.

Nice scores...especially the Saturn games.  
I got my first cib NES games today.  For $2.50 each I got Super Sprint (my first unlicensed game!), Elevator Action, The Legend of Kage, and Battletoads.
Like I said in my profile, I am pretty new to video game collecting so I don't really know how hard it is to find these out at flea markets and yard sales and what condition they are usually found in.  All I ever seem to find are loose carts.  These games however, seem almost brand new.  All of them have the foam inserts and all but battletoads have a warranty card.  Everything seems to be there.

IMO it is fairly hard to find NES games CIB and in nice condition.
I got lucky and found out that a local shop had a fairly large amount in their basement but even most of the stuff they have is damagaed, not really CIB or a duplicate common title.

Congrats on the finds.

[den68]

agreed. I'd say any of the games that came packaged in cardboard are going to be tough to find CIB or even with just the box.

most people don't give a second thought to tossing a cardboard box. what I am surprised by is loose CD games or games for the Genesis ot Master System. I don't get tossing those cases.

How some people can be so careless is beyond me.  It's so frustrating when you're digging through the Playstation or Dreamcast games at EBGames and find the game you're looking for, only to discover that it has no instructions.

yesterday I went to a dollar store and theyhas some PC games. I got one called Dirt Bike Racing and 2 mini CD's by a company callled X3D, one is called Turbo Tunes and the other AxySnake. I believe Nep found some of these a while back.

also went to Dollar General and got another of those plug and plays, this one by Coleco. it's got all sports games on it. it was $8 bucks.

[CatchFiveBats]

I saw that Coleco one at Dollar General on Thursday of last week.  I would have bought it, but it didn't really interest me that much.

Found a Genesis Model 3 w/2 controllers & all hookups as well as the following games (all loose) for $12 at a garage sale this weekend:

The Adventures of Mighty Max
Arcade Classics
Batman Returns
Buck Rogers
Cyberball
Frogger
John Madden Football
The Lion King
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers
Rocket Knight Adventures
Taz In Escape From Mars

Sweet deal man.
I believe Arcade Classics is an R5 too.

Not bad games though

[den68]

Taz and Rocket Knight are good too.

A lot of people just put their CD games in one of those CD books and toss the case.
