Video Game "Look what I found"

[Demented Collector]

Wasn't me

Honest

[gold DC]

That's not the gold Dreamcast that was actually made, is it?

I wish it was

I found an Atari 2600/400/800 joystick today at Salvation Army, for $1. It had a button on the joystick as well as on the base, although it had no name for me to search with on the internet. So I have no idea what the real value of this controller is.

If it was a Wico stick, possibly $5ish since those are good. If it is just a generic crappy one but works ok, about what you paid. Picture?

I see! Was intrigued there for a second.. Nice paint job, though..

*stick*

Looks like it is worth about what you paid as long as it works, nothing special.

A few days old, but unposted:

Boxed TG-16 (sans Keith Courage and manual). Now if I could only get games for it.......

[Bikeage]

The last of three Goodwill stops yielded a hell of a find.

Silver Gamecube
Memory card
Wavebird controller w/dongle
1st part wired controller
Power and A/V cords
Metroid Prime with bonus 'Echoes' disc, in case (no manual)
Need for Speed Hot Pursuit II disc also in the Metroid case
Simpsons Hit 'n Run CIB

All in one bag for $25. Everything is dirty, but looks in good shape. I have been gaming since the 70's and owned most every Nintendo console released.... but I have never as much as played a Gamecube... EVER. I just never got one, and since getting a Wii several years ago have looked for cheap memory cards and controllers to play GC games on it, but always held off paying retail or "smart" secondhand prices. Patience paid off. Now to get some more games and a GBA player...

Picked up a Boxed Flight of the Invader (NES) from goodwill for .99

After that, I found a bunch of weird 1980s computer games. Here's what I passed up on:

Apple II
Saragon III CIB
Auto Duel CIB
Mickey's Space Adventure CIB

Atari Disk Drive
Kids on Keys
Hey Diddle

I know absolutely nothing about these platforms or games. If anyone does know anything about this stuff, and can determine if they would be worthwhile to pick up as trade/sell bait, let me know!

I did pick up a CIB copy of Crime and Punishment for the Commodore 64. Again, I know very little about 80s gaming computers, but I knew some commodore titles can be worth a bit, so I picked it up for 1.49.

I am completely in the dark about my copy of Crime and Punishment. I can't find it on vgpc. does anyone know any other good resources?

I've played the first one a decent amount, haven't gotten around to playing 'Mars yet but it seemed pretty fun for the 30 seconds I tried it out. Taz-Mania for the SNES though, I've played that one a lot. I think it's a lot of fun, you should give it a shot.

Hmmm alright. You've convinced me, I'll give it another go.

My most recent purchases:

These aren't really "deals" per se but anywho

Amazon.com:

Heart Of Darkness (ps1) CIB like new condition - 14.99 (Just finished Out of This World and had a craving to play this)

Local game store:

Ducktales (NES) cart only - 9.99 (Never really put much time in to this so it's going to be a whole new experience)
Gargoyle's Quest II (NES) w/ manual -16.99

[sevin0seven]

went to my hometown 707 and visited the local goodwill store and found these for $2.99 each:



all complete with insert and manuals with maps.

they had a bunch of boxed (NES, SNES, Gen, N64) games but i only took the ones Hobie said is valuable (over the phone).

the cashier lady also told me they had a Virtual Boy recently.... i'm going to visit this goodwill store often!
