Got a nice handful of stuff:

Play N' Trade
Ghoul Patrol - 4.50 (how did they not get sued for this blatant Zombies ate my Neighbor rip-off)

Goodwill
F1 Race Box and 4-player adapter - 1.99
Gameboy shaped carrying case w/ OG gameboy & Kirby's Dreamland - 1.99


Hit up a garage sale I couldn't get to the previous day
Decent amount of NES games but they looked up stuff online, so I passed on a bunch of stuff I already had, cheaper and I'd have bought it all. Got the following:

Joshua - NES
Pyramid w/manual - NES
King of Kings (CiB) - NES
Bible Adventures Manual
How to Win At Nintendo Book (pretty rough shape)
Ducktails - Gameboy
Paid $15

Never heard of any of these games? It's all unauthorized Wisdom Tree Titles. I've never seen this many in one spot let alone a manual for these things. Something about this bizarre titles interests me...

Not game related finds (Records):
Quiet Riot - Mental Health
Bad Company - Desolation Angels
Batman (1975)

I don't know if your being serious or not, but Ghoul Patrol is the sequel.

What? I didn't know there was a sequel... I figured there would be a Konami logo slapped on it.

Found some nice goodies today.
Goodwill gave me and SNES with hookups, 1 controler, and 1 SNES mouse for $10. And a Genesis controller for $3. Gamestop had Waverace ($3.99), Puffy Ami Yumi ($3.49 - that's for my cousin :D ), and 6 Gamecube disk cases (3 blue, 3 yellow) for .99 each. It's kind of hard to see from the pictures, but it does have the official Nintendo Gamecube logo on it and you can put 2 disks in each case. I haven't seen anything like them before, so I figured what the hell :roll: I also swung by Play n' Trade and picked up a Gamecube/PS2 adapter, Rayman 2 N64, and 5 GB/GBC games for buy 3 get 2 free.: Yoshi, Prince of Persia, Dragons Lair, Bug's Crazy Castle 3 and Metal Gear Solid :mrgreen:

Haha, yeah. That game must not have been made in as many numbers as Zombies because I've never seen it anywhere. If it weren't for the internet I would never have even known about it.

All the same, I've only played it for 5-10 minutes but it didn't seem as good as Zombies. From what I remember though, it still seemed pretty fun. But if you like ZamN, you should check out this awesome hack!...

I've only played about 10 levels in, but it's a really good quality hack. Most hacks suffer from one thing or another, usually bad level design. This hack is actually really good in that respect. Actually seems like something that was official.

There's also this other hack, but I've never tried it...

no way it'll be worth something.
People used to say the same about PS1 games.
out of the 2,000+ ps1 games, how many actually have retained any value near their original price tag? 0.1% of them?
if you took a shit, please put it back

I went searching for Wave Race Blue Storm today after the Racketboy article went up. $3.99 and the case looks great - good for you (I struck out).

Konami didn't make Zombies, they only published it, LucasArts made it, with the Sequel they published it (as well as JVC) as well as developed it.

AKA, Zombies / Ghoul Patrol are made by LucasArts, not Konami.

I played for about the same amount of time and so far it seems more like a rip-off than a sequel. It's way slower, clunky, and seems to share pretty little from the original game other than saving people and semi-similar characters.

Thanks for the clarification again. They seem to put the publisher logo much larger than the development company in the past. :wink:
