Well, I'll keep that in mind after I finish "Less Than Zero" and "American Psycho", both were special ordered from Buxton Village Books.

i got a turbo duo on ebay and it was advertised as having no sound for 100 dollars in box.It ended up that the AV cables were broken so i ended up with a good deal.

I saw the Star Trek 25 Anniversary adventure game at my Goodwill for 7 bucks. I should have picked it up, but the fact that the game comes on floppy disks, and I haven't even seen a floppy drive in years, dissuaded me.
Comics, RPG's, miniatures, and now retrogaming? I guess its time to learn to go without eating...

Which kind of floppy zarathstra and which Goodwill? Im not a trekkie, but I am always looking for more shops worth going to. If it is 3.5 Ive got several spare drives, you can have one.

It was 3.5, if I recall correctly. I might take you up on that offer if the game is still there. one of these days, we need to organize a retro game thrift store shopping spree for the Atlanta area RBers.

Oh, sorry, it was the Goodwill on Buford Highway.

Today at a garage sale...

Metroid Prime, Soul Calibur 2, Viewtiful Joe, Resident Evil(original), Eternal Darkness All for the gamecube.

Nothing really rare or exciting but that fact I got them for 25 cents each I was happy.
