I clicked on it anyway to see what games were included and in the description it says Crazy Taxi, Speed Devils, Rainbow six, and 2 others pictured. I scroll down to see what else there was and in the very blurry pic I first notice Shenmue (pretty sweet but I already have a copy), but then I look closer and when I see what the other game was I couldnt text the number fast enough!

First off, A very clean Dreamcast with the common games, the controller got attacked by a dog at some point:

Then what I would have gladly paid the asking price for by its self:
<img>PAL Shenmue II</img>

Discs and case are all in excellent shape! The outer sleeve is a bit worn but I dont mind. I find it pretty interesting that they had a Retail Boot disc for playing. The price you ask for this sweet find.... $35 whole US Dollars.
Great find! Nice that you also got the import loader. I bought mine new at Gamestop here in the U.S. years ago. A one time deal, a shame Gamestop does not import games for sale anymore. Dreamcast PAL Shenmue II with Japanese Speech seems to play more "authentic" then the first Shenmue. :D


Gamecube Dragons Lair 3D - $6.99 Used - Gamestop

A shame there is not a U.S. PS2 release. I'll have to convert a PAL version later on.

Wii Dragons Lair Trilogy - $14.99 New - Target
A great price for three games! This is cheaper then buying it used at Gamestop.

I reviewed both games along with a Arcade Laser Disc perspective here:

My Craigslist pickup for the day.

20$
Nice. I picked those up for like 50 bucks at the only FYE game store (ever), not as nice as yours tho.
Ya the ages has a small tear on the back corner and the manual is missing, though it has inserts...

The seasons is complete and in excellent shape, I was pleasantly surprised
Oh... I HAVE BOTH MANUALS AND ALL INSERTS! (CARDBOARD STUFF AND ALL) WOO! :mrgreen: ... 8)

Sell it if you're tempted to open it. There's plenty of folks who search for that sealed stuff.

Yeah, if you want to play it, sell your copy and use some of the money to buy an already used one. That way you get to play, and have some leftover money as well.

One of my local Goodwill's has a dining room table sized shallow bin of loose toys near the checkout, and I usually give it a quick once over before I leave or make a purchase. I unexpectedly found a loose, black, unlabeled cartridge whose only clue was "Mattel Inc. 1979". I figured "why not?" for 50 cents. Turns out to be an Intellivision game, about the only major console I do not have, nor plan on getting.

Anyone know if there is a way to identify it without a label? I opened it and Googled some numbers that were on the two ROM chips but got nothing. Thinking about putting it on Ebay for $5 with a creative description, maybe someone will want to spend a fiver on the mystery cart.

Might help if you post a pic of the PCB and all the numbers
Maybe seek someone with an Intellivision, just in case a rare cart?
