Video game LOST & FOUND!!!

Post by BoneSnapDeez »

Ever think you lost something for good only to find it years later?

The other week I was looking through my parents' shed, searching for old clothing I could give to Goodwill. Found a bin full of old video game magazines. Most of these I hadn't seen in over a decade and some I had never seen (they must have belonged to my uncle or brother). Here's what I found...

Old Nintendo Power issues:

Chrono Trigger instructions and strategy guide:

Some old PlayStation and GamePro magazines:

Image

Comics:

Some more strategy guides:

Image

Even more strategy guides!!!:

Image

SquareSoft video:

And finally, my favorite found item. This was a penmanship book of mine from 1992. Looks like I had drawn the Koopa Kids all over it:

Pretty excited to unearth all this stuff, not sure what I'll do with it yet. Anyone else ever have a find like this?

Lost treasure is always a joy. I adore those old NP players guides.

Sweet haul. I always go looking though old boxes of stuff at my folks house just for this reason.

It's hard to lose something you read on a daily basis.

I could probably turn my copy into a lot of $ if I wanted to, huh?

I recently found a VHS tape about the making of Donkey Kong Country, but a VHS tape on FF7? That's just too awesome.
