So a newer co-worker was moving and mentioned he had some video games he was looking to get rid of. Sadly, I guess his parents (much like bad stories of old baseball cards being destroyed) threw out the one box of genesis and ps1 games but I did manage 5 NES games:

All have their original box and most have the styrofoam but no manual

Super C
SMB 3
Battle Chess
Silent Service
Bayou Billy

Hey, for $10 - SUPER C! That was so random - was awesome.

You people have officially ruined this forum for me. ...... Changing the name of this thread is officially the last straw. Goodbye.

I can't make a joke over the silliness? The thread has changed from what it once was, why can't the title? I think the title I gave it is more appropriate to what it has become.

Cookie and I went to our local S.A. store this evening, while she looked for action figures, I found:

Midway's Greatest Arcade Hits Vol. 2 - DC
Silent Scope - DC
The House of the Dead 2 - DC
Soul Calibur - DC
TrickStyle - DC
Ready 2 Rumble Boxing - DC
Sonic Adventure - DC
Ooga Booga - DC
Iron Aces - DC

All complete ranging in fair to good condition.
Got all of these for $1.99 a piece. Found them mixed in with the music CD's. When we got to the counter to check out, the lady was all pissy about the prices being wrong on them. Then she tried to dissuade us from buying them, showing us some scratched discs. We were undeterred and purchased them anyway.

Did the title of this thread just change? I don't like it! :P

Anyway, today I found a PS2.

PS2 SCPH39010 (looks like new)
Network adapter (looks like new)
Dual Shock 2 controller (looks like new)
Sony brand 8MB memory card (transparent blue, and looks like new)
hook-ups
and a Messiah 2 modchip inside (from 297chip.ca, installed in April '04). The do not remove sticker was replaced with a sticker from these guys.
Price: $14.99

I was happy. :)


After bringing it home to test with my JP games, it does work... but the disc drive has trouble reading discs and it skips while playing videos. I guess maybe the lens needs to be cleaned or some tinkering needs to be done. Still, I pretty good deal I think.

Also, I got a number of loose NES games in good condition:
Manic Mansion
Mega Man 2
Metal Gear
Codename Viper
Final Fantasy
Strider

and loose Genny carts:
The Death and Return of Superman
Ecco the Dolphin
Rocketknight Adventures

$27 for all ($2.99 each). I own none of these (although I do have Sega CD Ecco and have had most of these NES games in the past), so I'm happy here, too.
