Got some stuff today! Went to the fleamarket before work. I found no videogames but I found other interesting things! For $3.00 I found an inflatable megaman Buster and a Superman hardcover comic. So now I can cosplay as megaman? I guess. But then, I scored nicely at another stall. I went through a bunch of random things and I fished out these Comic beauties! Frank Miller's 300, The Walking dead book one, a beat up package of Marvel Mini-mates (but the toys are fine inside!), Disney's Dumbo blu-ray and an oldschool 250gb hard drive. The lady gave me a bargain for all of this......$15.00! Very nice! After work I went to salvation Army thrift store to see if there was anything great. I didn't let lucky like early this year, but for $3.00 I got Superbad and Burn After Reading blu-rays and Feel the Magic DS. No real complaints there. Lastly I went to gamestop. I had heard there was a special deal if you're a powerup rewards member. And I was! On your online account you can download a buy 2 get 1 free coupon! It has to be games under $20 though. No big deal. So for $38.06 I got Project Diva F2 Vita, Aliens Isolation PS3 and Xblaze code Embryo. So if any of you check, you probably have that coupon too. It ends in a few days, so better get to it!

back again filling this thread with the stuff that I find!

This is what I got today in the mail and at my fleamarket! My copy of Fire Emblem finally came in the mail from amazon! Been playing it all afternoon! I didn't find much at the fleamarket today. No crazy megafinds like I always do. I got all those PS1 games for a dollar. They were a part of a fill a bag deal. Didn't put much in it cause I couldn't find much else that lady had. Just a few beanie babies and an empty cd binder. but for a buck its nice. I then got for $5.00 those Sega Genesis plugs and PSP tv adapter. The seller there was putting stuff away and I spottted those cables and knew what they were! At first I found the PSP cable and she said $2, but after I dug in there some more the other two plugs came out. I almost got a sega RF plug too. But some other guy beat me to it. But I dont care for those much. Plugs have gotten harder to find over the years. I can find AV cords easier, but not plugs. So that's it for Wednesday!

Sorry, no pic, but I found a Dell Dimension 8xxx on the side of the road! I was on my way to work, so I couldn't look it over. I just threw it in my car and went on my way. But I had a good feeling that no components were pulled since the power cable and USB-PS/2 keyboard adapter was still plugged into the back.

I just had a chance to open the case. I wont know what kind of P4 it is until I boot it up, but it's not missing anything. Best part is, those Dells usually came with a shitty HDD, but this one has an 80GB WD drive. It definitely had to have been a replacement. Since PATA HDDs have become annoying to get, this is welcomed. Also, most people pull the HDD when they toss a computer, so I wasn't expecting to find it in there.

It's also an older mobo, so it doesn't have as many integrated components. It has a Sound Blaster and LAN PCI card, both of which I needed. I see "GeForce 2" on the video card, so that, the CPU and the RAM will just serve as good backups for me.

But yeah, I needed to eBay a sound card, a couple LAN cards, and a couple PATA HDDs. So finding a few for free on the side of the road was real nice!

What PC games?? I lost all of my old PC CDs somewhere in a move a couple years ago and have been DESPERATELY trying to find a few older PC games without resorting to pirating.

Aww, that makes me sad. Are some of the games rare, and that's why you can't find them?

If you want to list what you are looking for I have a small stack that I would gladly send your way if you wanted any of them.

Most of the ones I'm looking for are niche games, so the copies that are floating around tend to be in the hands of people who love them. They're mainly all Star Trek games - Bridge Commander, Armada, Armada 2, Elite Force, and Elite Force 2. They're really easy to find pirated, but I prefer to avoid that, and I haven't yet found a place to download them legitimately (if someone knows of one, please let me know).

I have Star Trek Hidden Evil big box but that is my only Star Trek PC game.
