I gave her pokemon y after I found it at a pawn cheap but I don't know if she played it. though I would like to recoup some of my money to keep the 3ds cheap, because she also wants something to play minecraft so I'm going to try and get her a 360 at black Friday.
Neighborhood Garage Sales were being held in our area today - so I made the rounds after my gym class. Free: - Wii - Cabela's Dangerous Hunts, - 360 - Scene It $4 total for all of the following: - Pink Translucent Game Boy Color - Pokemon Silver - Pokemon Trading Card Game - Super Mario Land 2 - The Rugrats Movie - Looney Toons Twouble - Playstation Memory Card
I've never really given the Pokemon games a chance other than Pokemon Pinball. But lately I've been interested in the games after reading all the love they still get in forums like this. I'm not one to drop $30 on a single game very often. Very happy to get them on the cheap - I'm really looking forward to playing them, finally.

I don't find much anymore that can give me the same thrill hunting once did but I did find something today that I never thought I'd see "out in the wild." Complete copy of King Kong for the 2600 for $20. The lady holding the sale would not budge on this one. She had come other boxed Colecovision & 2600 games at $15-20 each. I only picked up a few after getting her down to $10 on some of the others. I would normally never pay more than a buck or two for any 2600 game but this is certainly worth the exception to me. I considered buying this a couple of years back on the interwebs but I suppose this shows that it pays to be patient.
Also found a console only Saturn for $15 and Mario Kart 64 for $5 among other things.

Very nice. I don't get that feeling much anymore either but finding a NIB Donkey Kong for the 2600 last weekend was a great feeling. Of course the $3 I spent for it helped as well.

jmbarnes101 wrote:@fastbilly - That's really cool looking, you'll have to let us know how the game play is. I remember having a Donkey Kong board game as a kid. Do you know if there are any other board games for NES classic characters out there?
It is a terrible game, but it is one of the few pieces of original Zelda merchandise I am missing. Japan however got an awesome boardgame that fans translated recently: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/117 ... le-fantasy Sadly the original sells $300+ on ebay when it pops up.
As for other Classic Nintendo Character games I know of Mario, Donkey Kong, and Donkey Kong Country. There are plenty of old arcade game conversions though; Turbo, Zaxxon, Qbert, Centipede, Defender, Frogger, and ofcourse the scary Pacman: Image from BGG
The search is difficult since Nintendo themselves released boardgames in Japan, most notably alot of Disney games: Image from Before Mario.
Nice finds, team! The boxed King Kong (2600) is particularly impressive, but girlracer also got some pretty solid 3DS, SNES, and WIIU deals.

I had a good weekend with regard to finds. Among other things, I got a copy of Crazy Machines (Wii) for $7 from Gamestop. The game is actually pretty hard to find online, and only one Gamestop within driving distance had a copy. It required a bit of a drive, but I was thrilled when I found the game was in complete condition. Moreover, I had a couple of pawn shop finds this morning. I got a complete copy of Dragon Age Inquisition (PS3) for $7 and a complete copy of Dragon Ball XenoVerse (PS3) for $3(!). My PS3 want list is shrinking rapidly, and I would not be surprised if I finished collecting for seventh generation consoles in early 2016.

Finally found this in the wild for a reasonable price $3 . Everything is in like new shaped except the manual is missing, but i'll take it first time I've seen this sub $25 in the wild in a long time.

Nice find on the Dragon Ball Xenoverse. Got that last month on the 360. Pretty great game, honestly.
This user really likes SEGA Saturn. Avoid at all costs.
