Video Game "Look what I found"

[sabrage]

I know we're not allowed to find deals at Gamestop... But whatever, forget you.

At 2 seperate Gamestops, I found Prinny 2 and Gods Eater Burst for $15 a pop brand new. Gods Eater must've just dropped in price, because it was $20 the last time I looked, and I'd never even seen Prinny 2 in the wild..

There are plenty of Gamestop finds posted in the thread and, of course, no rule around them not being allowed.

Game Boy colour Pokemon in mint condition)
Assc pack, wall charger, car charger and battery pack
Pokemon pinball, missing battery cover
Pokemon Gold
Megaman Extreme 2
Tweety's high Flying Adventure
£5 for the lot
Game Boy bath & shower foam,still full 50p I've always dreamed of going out smelling like Mario
Nintendo carry case 50p
GBA cases 50p/
Joysticks 75p each
The top one is a QuickShot QS-137F it has a 4 way switch underneath which selects between Atari, Commodore, MSX and Sega, so it would seem it's not only me that leaves the best for last

I need to move to Europe!

More info and a pic on the Shower Foam? I've seen a Mario Bag, Mario Camera and Mario Statues but never toiletries! Like a fine wine, maybe should save the contents?

The Commodore and Atari both use the same joystick. I wonder if the 7800 which has a different two button layout would work? Also what brand and number is the yellow button joystick?

Found an image on Amazon, four positions confirmed:
1. Atari Commodore (2600, Vic20, C64, Amiga and Atari Computers)
2. MSX (Japanese Computers)
3. Amstrad (Europe Computer)
4. Sega

I found mine in the wild....of course, its also the only one I've seen in the wild so....

I didn't know Gamestop was considered "in the wild", I thought it was pretty much guaranteed that you could walk into one and find games.

Ah ha. But is it the game you want?

I think a good find on a rare/pricier game is a find no matter where you find it. I found my less than $3 copy of Earthbound at an actual Game Store. I'm guaranteed to find games in that store any time I walk in. Does that make my copy of Earthbound any less of a find than the guy who bought it at or near the same price at Goodwill?

Whoa, slow down Speedy Gonzales, I never said that location determines whether or not something is a "find".

Pics after a good clean up, no not me the shower foam


Don't Know much about it really, only what I found on the net after buying it.
You can push the round rubber buttons on it to try and get the balls into the cups, the left one squirts the foam from the bottom left and right from bottom right.
No skill is involved it's just pure luck, well that's the excuse i'm using as I couldn't find the easy setting on it
There is one on Ebay for 30 $ or £ BIN, can't see anyone paying that much for one really, couple have sold previously by auction for only a couple of pounds.
There are similar Donkey Kong and Pokemon ones also and a Game Boy Advance Mario one


This is branded Zipstick and has a switch which I think is for auto fire, sorry no other markings on the bottom although there is a recessed square which may have had a sticker in it underneath.
Searching google brings up a small amount of info on it...

Zip Stick

The Zip Stick was an ultra-precise controller that came in a one-button and a two-button version. They’re compatible with most old-timey systems or can at least be modified to be. The stick itself is made of steel, ensuring an arcade-quality experience on your C64 or Amiga.

There was someone on the forums trying to sell a Donkey Kong bath game thing like that. Can't remember who and can't be bothered to go look for it.
