At the play n trade(buy-sell-trade game store) today I found a ton of goodies :)
I got an actual copy of virtua cop 2, NiGHTS complete, box and all. A new dreamcast(yay, I can play nes on tv again!) And a genesis with sonic and knuckles, and sonic 1, 3. I'll be getting sonic 2 tomarrow. The reason why I'm excited mostly though, is that the mentioned saturn games are quite rare outside the internet
where I live.

I wish I had places like that around here -- I have all big chain places that thinks that old stuff just takes up too much space...

Awsome haul Zalphier. If you don't have one already you should purchase a modchip from Racketboy while he still has a few left so you can really enjoy that Saturn to its full potential. The chip was so worth it and I am enjoying my Saturn more now than ever before. I wish there were some nice stores like that around where I live.

Man, I just moved up to college this fall, and recently went to the mall to check out their game store. They have both a Gamestop and a locally owned store called FX Game Exchange. The FX store was sweet! He had tons of obscure retro stuff. Not only did he have a ton of SNES games and all that, he also had a whole rack games for Sega Master System, as well as Saturn, Dreamcast, and a few Sega CD and 32X games. I went to go get some controllers for my Saturn, and he had tons of third-party controllers, two multitaps, and a Sega branded arcade stick. It was pretty sweet, I have to say. I haven't been able to get back yet (since I don't have a car with me), but I want to check it out some more next time.

I live in a small down so there are alot of independent stores around here. Pawn Shops are a good place to find these things. I've found a Sega CD and Odyssey 2....broken :lol:
