got some stuff at the fleamarket today.

A european copy of Earthworm Jim for gamegear, cart only in the case for $4.00

Zanac and Spot The Videogame (7-up) cart only for NES, both for $7.00

For $5.00 I got all together: One ps1/ps2 extension cable, Daytona USA saturn CIB (sadly the disc is kinda scratched), and Transformers Autobots cart only for DS.

I found new in the wrapper for $3.00 DC Universe Superman Batman public Enemies animated film.

Lastly for $6.00 I got all together an old anime eigo dvd volume of Urusei Yatsura, Dvd of speed racer (old school anime) with the faux rubber on the box, Training Day dvd, and for PC win 95 a copy of Blade Runner- 4 discs with manuals. Also thrown in to the mix was an empty case for the game Darius Gaiden for saturn. I asked the lady if she had the game and she said no :(

she gave me the box.

I'm not gonna complain.

J_Wil, those are some nice finds. I'd like a complete Contra set (at least one version of each game) myself someday, but the climbing prices have put me off. Waiting for Contra Force to turn up at Goodwill or something. :lol:

It's kinda funny that I picked up that Intellivision the other day, because last night at Goodwill I found...
Image

An Intellivision Plug & Play! Paid $4 for it. My favorite thing about it is the fact that they didn't even try to make it look like the original Intellivision gamepad - it looks like an SNES controller instead. I guess you don't really need 17 buttons to play Astrosmash.

I also found three Tandy Color carts under a pile of VHS tapes - 99 cents each. I grabbed all three: Super Pitfall, Downland, and........... Math Tutor. :lol:

Unfortunately, I couldn't get Downland to work. I did some research and found out it only will run on Model 1 & 2 Color Computers. I have a Model 3. Lovely. On the flip side, Super Pitfall only works with a Model 3 so I guess I lucked out there. The Math Tutor cart, despite not being a "game" in the traditional sense, is pretty fun - and some gouger on fleabay even claims that it's "rare". Lucky me!

I also found Young Merlin for $7 at the local retro game shop. Trust me, it sucks.

Just for kicks, this is what Super Pitfall on a Tandy Color looks like: One of the best looking games I've seen on the system:

I got a decent lot from eBay today. $113 shipped

Not pictured are the official AC adapters and RF adapter. I am just pumped that I can finally play those Genesis games that I picked up at a yard sale almost 2 years ago!

BoneSnapDeez - I used to have a Tandy 1000 when I was a kid. It was one of my first experiences with video games ever, even before the NES. The pic of that joystick sure brings back some memories, man. That's some awesome stuff. I grew to hate that thing once I got into more sophisticated games. I remember trashing that thing in the dumpster back in 1993, even though it worked just fine. Who knew that people would still want to play it this many years later???

Picked up a complete copy of Spy Vs Spy for NES for about $17 shipped. The box is a little rough but everything else is clean and in great condition. This is the first boxed NES game I've gotten in a while that didn't wreak of cigarette smoke. I cringe a bit at the idea of paying that much for any NES game but I love having CIB NES games.

I finally got a tablet!

At sears, I got a 32gb nexus 7. I had a $100 gift card that I won in a store contest. I also used my work discount. So I got it for about $140.

Sears also had some cheap final clearance games for $0.93 cents. I got jeopardy for both Wii and ds. And Press your luck (game show) for Wii.

I'm a happy camper!

You didn't phrase it in the form of a question so this find doesn't count.
