Video Game "Look what I found"

[Hobie-wan]

Congrats, sweet post Xmas haul. Am I to take it that you've indeed picked up the left overs of someone who's just died? If not, why is it a lesson as to never smoke?

Because tar sticks to stuff and makes it look nasty and also causes more dust to stick making it worse as well.

Ordered a few things off Amazon w/ a gift card... got the first item: Resident Evil 4 on the Wii. I paid something like 5 bucks for it and it's in gorgeous shape, "like new" one might say. Whoo hoo. I haven't gotten my fingers all dirty w/ the RE 4 yet, gotta say, I'm pretty stoked.

Its my favorite game ever, you should have some fun!

Meh, I always found "comes from a pet and smoke free home" an overrated statement. I smoke, yet my stuff doesn't smell like tar, nor does it look like shit. As for discoloured consoles, that has nothing to do with smoking or pets...

Maybe you have habits that are different from other smokers but I've seen PC cases that were yellow and sticky from tar and bought a used CD that took years for the stale smoke smell to air out of the book.

My lord, fair play. If I find out my many local Gamestops practiced such things with their GBA and GCN games, I will stand outside each of them and throw the hissiest of hissy fits imaginable. What's worse is, I actually know folk who work for Gamestop, it wouldn't have been to much a stretch. Ugh, anyways, kudos.

Been busy lately.
The other day I picked up all this for $20 at a pawn shop:


In case you cannot read them: Suikoden (ps1), Bomberman (GB), Quest 64 (n64), Final Fantasy 7,8, & 9.

While I did have all the FF's in my sale thread I decided to keep FF VII because I needed a black label copy and I got a good trade-in value for FF 8 and 9 at a store (plus FF 8 and 9 were in rough shape and I don't think that they were good enough to be sold on this site).

Here is what I picked up at a comic book store today for $3.40:

games: Haunted House, Space Invaders, and Raiders of the Lost Ark (all for atari 2600)---and a Super Game Boy (snes) and Altered Beast (sms).

...then I went to a retro game store and traded in good ol' FF 8 & 9... Got some trade credit and picked up this:

games: Carrier (dc), Sonic Spinball (gen/megadrive), Body Harvest (n64), and a PS1 controller without the analog sticks. Been wanting one of those controllers for a while (I really cannot stand those Sony analog sticks... ).
