If you see an Intv game called Congo Bongo... snatch that sucker up! It's probably one of the rarest Intv cartridge out there.
righto!

I can finally say i got in on some decent deals at Goodwill. I had never seen anything before and just happened to be in the same shopping center tonight so I popped over.

Found a number of original playstation games - all complete and in very good condition:

NHL Open Ice 2 on 2 - $2.97 (just bought it on amazon for $10 last night - crazy coincidence to find this random game in the wild)

Time Crisis - $2.97 (I have the Guncon from having Point Blank II - still cib. Let me tell you - that gun was AWESOME back in the day)

GTA2 - $2.97

I passed on Area 51 for the same price as well as Cool Boarders 2. I had some serious nostaglia finding these games though. They also had Metal Gear Solid for $6.97 but it sounded like there was only one disc and it was very loose. Wasn't in the greatest of shape either. May reconsider.

I didn't know Tower of Doom is rare. I have that game in box. Not in the best condition though.

There's one on ebay cib for $85. The price has dropped down some. I did see it for around $90 cart only at one point.

Honestly I don't think the game is that great. It does have appeal but you'd have just as much fun playing AD&D and save about $65.

Happy I finally got 3D Dot Game Heroes. Won off eBay for only $8.50 - advertised as brand new, of course it wasn't though. It was obvious after taking out of the mailer: repackaged (not original factory-sealed, shrinkwrap), manual has folds in corners, and disc has a couple tiny scratches. Damn eBay sellers.

At least the game works.

oh dude, get ready. You are in for such a serious treat. Totally one of my absolute favorite games for PS3.

Looks fantastic; the game has been running in Demo Play for the last few minutes - graphics look amazing! I heard there was a character creator, is that true? Don't want to jump into it just yet, not until I complete ICO/SotC Collection.

yeah that was a big deal -- it's almost like they said "well we can't legally make this a Zelda game, but you should have no problem designing Link on your own" haha.

That blows. But PS3 discs have a really tough coating on them. If the 'scratches' are on the bottom, just give it a wipe with a soft cloth and they will probably come off.

LodgeNet N64 - $5.00 - Swap Meet
An unusual piece of gaming history. There are still some Hotels that have SNES, Genesis, N64 and Gamecube "Pay Per hour Play" games. I have everything except the Joystick holder that was in one room. Unfortunately there was no Ram filled N64 console at the Swap meet table. I'll have to gut the box and see what is inside.

I disassembled and took some more pics, I'll post an update in the LodgeNet N64 Thread.
