Nice collection - I will eventually check out some more games myself.
Munchman is also a pretty solid Pac-Man clone that you might like. If you come across any cool lots or anything and want to split some stuff up, let me know :D

Jmustange> I picked up Mega Man Soccer this week for $25 shipped also. Cart is nearly perfect so a decent grab at that price.

Bought a few games at Youmacon in Detroit this weekend.

Tetris (GB) - $2
Super Mario World (Super Famicom) - $5
Street Fighter II (Super Famicom) - $5
Final Fight (Super Famicom) - $5
Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one who loves the Nintendo e-Reader.

I am most excited about Metroid Prime Trilogy. I found it at a pawn shop that I would have passed if my wife had not asked me to stop the car so that she could use the bath room. They were having a "buy one get one 1/2 off" sale on video games, and I spotted Metroid Prime Trilogy. When I picked it up, I was dismayed to see that it was marked $49.99, but I decided to go for it anyway because: (1) that is still a pretty good price; (2) the game is absolutely pristine; and (3) I have wanted it for a very long time.
VERY NICE FIND!!! :shock:

A great way to compare the three Metroids. You can see how the Wii version has better control over the two Gamecube "Play Control" upgraded games. My disappointment is the game save of the Trilogy is independent of the stand alone Metroid 3.

Also just gonna put this here since it was also from Expo. This was one of my favorite books of my dad's to flip through as a kid because of the cool pictures. Got this for $2, maybe I'll actually read the text now.
Nice Amiga made stick! I have two of them kept with a SX64 in the strap on Commodore side pouch, great for compact size. Great unusual find that also shows Amiga's early history.

That encyclopedia looks really good, I am so tempted to buy one too just because of the Forbidden Planet Robbie on the front. :D

Makes you wonder if even the people selling it at the show had tested it.
This wasn't from the show proper, it was from the 'swap meet' in the parking lot Saturday morning which ended at noon. It was one of only 2 Japanese games the guy had, so I'd like to think it was untested and an honest mistake. Though the guy didn't bother to tell me it was untested and he had enough other cart games for various systems and this works fine with a Game Genie or in a Gen 3. :?

Yeah I was pleased with the price. It was a collector selling his stuff so tough to get too cheap

but it's the rarest most valuable thing I've found in the 5 months I've been doing this!
THE SPACE ADVENTURE complete, mint, and it has the foam insert for $30! The reason they wanted $30 wasn't because they knew the value, but because they really wanted to sell their whole Sega CD/Genesis/32X lot, and didn't want to break it up. I offered $20, then $25, and the guy said $30. They wanted $300 for the lot, but all the other games weren't very rare aside from Time Gal complete in box.

Also, I just realized. There's no Sega CD "Rare and Valuable" article on RacketBoy. That needs to change.
Considering that there are some Snatcher-esque elements about this game, and that I didn't know there was a decent Sega CD Cobra game port I am absolutely jealous right now. :)

at sears today I got some clearance games.

They were a little high for my tastes (cheapass alert! :evil: ) But I doubt I'll get lucky finding them as cheap like that again.

Wii: Legend Of Zelda Skyward Sword First edition? with music CD $24.97

PS3: Batman Arkham City $24.97

Got a couple bucks off with my workers discount.

I had to buy them, also because they finally got the order to send them back to the warehouse. Almost all the games are clearance. My coworker took all of the 360 games back to the dock lock-up area while i was looking thru the games.

I am most pleased to finally own the zelda game.

Great find! I sold one on NA last year for $100.
