That system's got so much to offer, (especially if you're a fan of how games made you feel in the 16-bit era..)

Bonus find
A few Blockbuster stores are shutting down here, selling everything in the store including desks, phones and shelf fixtures. There are durable plastic signs going five for a dollar and individual plastic rental holder cards at ten for a buck. I found some nice Playstation signs along with a couple God of War Rental Placards. :D

The PS2 sign will look great displayed along with my gaming setup in my '62 at the local Car Show. :mrgreen:

A lot to cover on this post, another round of info for the OCD game collector.

First a couple of Gamestop Finds. Two obscure games.

Gamecube ZooCube - $2.99
http://www.gamestop.com/gc/games/zoo-cube-used/26107

A catchy rhyming name. What more can I say, an okay puzzler but exclusive only on the Gamecube. Reminds me of an old Arcade game called Space Zap. Plays like Zoop but instead of just four sides, a top and bottom to watch for too.

Game Boy Advance Bomberman Tournament- $2.99
http://www.gamestop.com/gba/games/bombe ... used/16328

Classic Bomberman levels as well as an optional level Zelda type quest. WTF! The best part? A single cart is all that is needed to link up to four players. :mrgreen:

Here is a Gameboy Advance Link Games List Guide.

I didn't even have time to take advantage of the "Buy Two get One Free". Its only three bucks and I have seven days to get the additional freebie thru a refund repurchase. Easily happen due to the almost daily Gamestop runs.

The Bookoff finds. I love how Bookoff Games and DVDs are always complete with plastic wrap protecting everything!

PS2 Grand Theft Auto Vice City - $5.00
Okay so this one is old, compared to all the Grand Theft Reincarnations. A nice complete package including the Poster Map. The licensed 80s music and OMG Dennis, freeken Dennis Hopper is in in this game! 8)

PS2 Ace Combat 5 The Unsung War - $5.00
I already have Ace Combat 4, this one supports the USB Hori Flight Throttle Stick 2! Oh crap, another controller set I'll have to keep an eye out for. Between these two Ace Combats, I wonder if any other USB Flight and Throttle Sticks might work? :?

One can dream ...............
Image
The attachment Bookoff Haul 04-07-2011b.jpg is no longer available
Both PS2 games HDAdvance compatible. :mrgreen:

Goodwill Thrift Store - a nevermind find
I almost bought a black digital out Gamecube as well. Dust free at the inlet in brand new condition with all three bottom cover plates. It only came with the power cord and I did confirm the orange power light came on. Unfortunately, the buy is an "AS IS, NO REFUND" for fifteen bucks, passed on it. A shame, the console does look very clean. Tempted to return with a video cable and game and give it a proper testing.

PS2 Fujiwork KIWAMI White Controller - $5.00
Do I really need and yet another PS2 controller? I just bought two brand new Sony PS2 Controllers clearanced at Radio Shack recently. A while back I also bought a white Sony brand PS2 controller. But hey, this one is unusual, a Japanese controller with a direct license from Sony! The FujiWork controllers came in three generations. The TAKUMI, SHIN and the feature packed KIWAMI. I really got lucky on getting this premium edition, just look at the extra programming gizmos. :D 8)
http://www.fujiwork.co.jp/technica/english/game/03.html

♦ Addition to the current turbo function on 10 keys( / L1 , L2 ,L3 , R1 , R2 , R3), you can set up turbo/hold function on UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT of the directional key.

♦ 3 way rapid fire selection: 7 times per second, 15 times per second, 30 times per second.

♦ You can select the Analog sensitivity in 3 way.
• Standard mode : Normal analog stick feeling
• High sensitive mode : Strong feeling. For the games that require high speed.
• Gentle mode : Feeing will be gentle. For the games that require cautious attitude.

♦ Compatible with DUALSHOCK 2 completely and the product sold with license from Sony Computer Entertainment Inc.
♦ Located analog stick at the best-match position and realized surprisingly high performance.
♦ With 16 continuing shooting per second function
♦ TECHNICA Grips designed based on human engineering.
♦ Size (W×H×D) : 6.4 "×4.16 "×2.68 " (160×104 ×67mm) (excludes buttons and cables)
♦ Cable length: 2.4m (with noise reduction core)

Question
Analog Turbo Controller "KIWAMI" : Cannot release function. How can I get out of such situation?

Answer
You can set up turbo function by pushing the relevant action button together with Turbo Button. If you repeat the same process, automatic turbo function is to be set up and your action button continues shooting. If you repeat the same process again, you can release the turbo function.

Pushing Turbo Button together with Select Button releases all the function you set up.
Any Japan game knowledgable members care to add more info about this controller? Where is Upsidedown Fuji, Hatta or Inazuma!

Pics of this marvelous controller in my next reply.


Somebody please help me, I'm in a collector frenzy right now. :oops:

Over 200 PS2 games owned and so many more to discover! I am proud to proclaim only one game out of my entire PS2 collection is missing the game booklet and cover insert: Taito Legends Volume One
