You're not gonna believe what I found at Goodwill

Post by Anayo »

So I walked into Goodwill. Right there under the display counter is a Nintendo DS Lite. For $30.

Then I walked in a day or two later and found this. For those who don't know it's a classic PC game with digitized claymated characters. It fetches $40-$50 on eBay usually. I got it for $2.99.

I feel very happy inside right now. :D

Wow, congratulations i wish i had one of those shops close by too, sometimes you can dig out some purrty gems.
Is the NDS alright? Are those scratches or just your fingerprints on the screens?

Nice to see someone else who knows about Claymate :) great game.

Yeah, super lucky, I have a DS but I payed full price, and I have a burnt copy of the Neverhood... epic fail on my part, epic win on yours.

I'd get a DS for that price.

Not up on PC gaming, so I don't recognize that game. I wonder if Racketboy would consider articles on PC games. I could use the education and I bet my old computer could run some of the older. less system spec demanding games

I've never found anything like that at such a good price in the Goodwill's in my state... but then again I haven't been there in so long and rarely went.

Gamerforlife, the Neverhood is a very enjoyable puzzle game, a la Monkey Island or Myst. It's loved for its bizarre music, sense of humor, and claymation visuals. It's also damn hard. Definitely worth a look if you ever get into classic PC gaming.

Oh, and there is a sequel, for the PlayStation. It's called Skullmonkeys.

Never got to play the Neverhood, but I played the *brilliant* 'sequel' called Skullmonkeys. Bonus level music EFF TEE DOUBLE-YEW.

Great find. I can never find anything in my Goodwill either. I did find a used Dreamcast controller once with the box but they wanted $35.00 for it. Kind of high for me. I do however find awesome deals in pawn shops.
Wanna trade with me?
