Start of the summer, so I thought I'd kick things off right!

Picked up this complete copy of Growlanser: Generations for just $4 at a local Flea Market.

Picked up a Japanese copy of Persona for the PSP at a local Thrift store for just $5. Looks great next to my NTSC copy. :)

Dang, I would be happy to find either of those. I think that Growlanser isn't quite complete though. It came with a lot of bonus items.

Still, very nice finds!

While it's more or less complete, it's still missing the watch, the necklace, the set of cards, the OST and... that's it. Working Designs loved extras :lol: .

True, except that they released two versions. One with the bonuses, and one without.

My sister randomly gave me the Super Nintendo cartridge Musya: The Classic Japanese Tale of Horror earlier today. Quite a nice surprise, and very thoughtful. She's been reading my blog and knows I enjoy horror games and Japanese games quite a lot, so the title jumped out at her. It's an action platforming game where you play as a Pikeman. It's a game I had never heard of, but am having a lot of fun with. It's also nice and difficult.

Also, I finally unhooked the deteriorating RF cable on my Master System and upgraded to an off-brand Composite A/V cable I picked up for five bucks. Been getting some nice colorful gaming out of Wonder Boy, Alex Kidd, and Phantasy Star this evening.

Lastly, I picked up a really dirty Donkey Kong Country cartridge for a couple bucks that I need to clean up.

Thrift Store Picks
I found a Thrift Store that had two separate units inside a strip mall. One had furniture and electronics, the other mostly clothing and a few more electronics. Some great picks in both!

PS2 Code Breaker - $3.00
I already have two PS2 Action Replays with backed up memory cards of the latest update from the no longer supported online site. Pelican Code Breaker is an older disc, the read side is in PS1 black! A PS2 disc that supports the older Game Shark codes, gives me added flexibility in PS2 cheat codes. Unfortunately like Action Replay, does not install in the Hard Drive. Maybe the PC ISO ethernet install method?

Atari 2600 Breakout - $2.00
I can't believe I never got around to buying this old classic. I already have 5200 breakout, but the 2600 version uses game paddles for a real spinner game play.

Sega Genesis Controller - $3.00
A great controller for 2600 joystick games. Someone please stop me, I keep buying. I now have five of these beauties.

Namco TV Games Volume 2 - $3.00
I just bought one at the Swap Meet less then a week ago! Posted HERE with Namco TV Games Volume One. The first one was missing the back cover and the primary fire button was temperamental. I modded it so both A and B button functions are now controlled by the primary large button. Pole Position became a "Pop the Clutch" to shift gears.

The second one is perfect and now I have a back cover for a template. Any easy cut out a DVD case to trace from. Both buttons work great with satisfying clicks. Ingenious how the yellow knob is twisted to steer the Indy car. Two Pole Positions, one with a clutch and one with an Automatic Clutch Shift. :D
