Went to Bookoff today. Only one game today.

Reign of Fire - $5.00
Dragons and Tanks! What more can one ask for! :lol: From the movie few have seen and most forgot about. I set the game to Advance controls which offers a Twinstick control of shooting one direction while moving in another. This one reminds me of Mercenaries without the FPS mode, I may have to Action Replay this one. I am too anxious to try controlling the fire breathing dragon.

This game is HDAdvance compatible. :mrgreen:

I love how Bookoff stores maintain PRISTINE and COMPLETE used games with a "plastic zip" envelope. The game above even has the original movie coupon still inside!

EDIT
I included a game buyback price list pic below, I wonder if these offers are better then Gamestop?

My favorite Retro Store

That was a fun little action RPG. You can't go wrong with Tom Baker narrations either. :mrgreen:

Wow, I wish Gamestop treated their games the same way Bookoff does.

I'll be in NYC in May visiting my Dad and I'll definitely visit the NYC location.

The other day I grabbed a universal Soul Calibur 2 arcade stick (XBox, PS2 and GameCube) in great condition for $15 at a local retro gaming shop. This thing is amazing for MAME on XBox.

it looks kinda confusing for GC soul calibur though - the x and y buttons are the opposite way around, as are the A and B buttons.
