Video Game "Look what I found"

[BRIK]

It is weird powering the system through the controller.

Right. I want it even more now.

Haven't posted here in a while, you guys find some pretty amazing stuff!
I visited the flea market today, most of the people know what they're selling and it ain't cheap. (I.E. $20 for a SNES game) still I found some pretty good stuff.




Game Boy Pocket with Mario Baseball $7
It's in pretty good condition! The only thing is missing is the battery cover. I'm looking forward to getting some good GB games such as Pokemon.


Professor Layton and The Diabolical Box $2
Found this in a stash of old toys unfortunately is the cart only (If anyone has the box please PM me )


Rayman Origins $19.99
Got this as soon as I found out that ToysRus had the sweet deal. This game is a MUST for 2D fans.

I recommend if you're planning to "find one" to pick up a adapter to use the wall plug in. Other wise you're running this thing on six batteries... just one more mistake Nintendo made on this thing.

Sure, one more excuse to use my step down transformer.

Have not thrifted locally in a while, but while in Indy on business hit up a Goodwill and found a CIB Boogerman for Genesis and a copy of Astyanax in one of those plastic rental NES cases with the booklet for Cybernoid inside. Both $4.99, a bit higher than locally.

Also checked out Half Price Books for the first time. Decent selection of 25-30 NES carts, none of which I had to have, even for $2.99, and a handful of Genesis sports titles were all the retro they had. Wish there was one closer, nice place.

Finally broke down and bought one of these.

I'll probably be you in a couple of months. Those weird ass consoles are just so interesting and tempting.

Once you try them you kind of get used to it. I only have tennis so it isn't too bad but i'd imagine with the dual d-pads it could get interesting.

I believe Teleroboxer is the only game that uses dual d-pads. It's a fun game if you like punchout, although I find the AI to be harder than punchout.

Don't think so, everything was near my motel off of 465, around Michigan Rd. and 86th. When I saw those games I remembered you posting that local Goodwill's price games on the high side, and you were right!

There was 27" or so Sony Trinitron at that Goodwill for $9.99 if your interested. Did not check what kind of inputs it had, guessing at least stereo composite and S-video. There was no room in our trailer for it and lugging it back in the cab of the pickup would not be worth the shit my co-worker would give me, so I passed.

Yeah, I mean, not to go negative, but that is the type of stuff dsh/hobie/ziggy were getting at - darth posted about 4 games that wer are all bought at or over market. We need some sort of criteria established folks. A good story, a rare item, below market value, something...otherwise i'm going to start posting my amazon purchase receipts for every new ps3 game I buy.

Agreed. I mean, it's cool if there was something a bit unique or cheap enough to make someone jealous, but the whole "I found a few common NES games for average/above-average prices and some X-Box/PS2 stuff slightly overpriced" is just filler.

Found a Crystal X-Box for $30? Not amazing, but still cool and not easy to find generally. Post that. Found a Virtual Boy for an average price? They don't show up in the wild everyday, so that's cool. Found a stack of NES games for normal price, but there were a few harder-to-find gems? Not great, but still cool.

I think there is a line between "OMG!!1! I found some NES games" and "hey, this is kinda cool."
