Video Game "Look what I found"

[pierrot]

EDIT: Argh, Vigilante doesn't work at all and Wonder Boy III turned out to be Great Volleyball instead...

Wow, that is a real kick in the teeth.

Is switching out the circuit boards really a "thing" that some assholes like to amuse themselves with? I remember reading a story (maybe it was here) about someone buying a Phantasy Star cart that ended up being Monopoly.

Saw this at a thrift store. I thought it was interesting since it's a promo disc but it's prolly worthless. - $3

Weird...was it a cartoon on the WB?

Yeah, it was on from 2004-2005 51 episodes. I never knew about it either lol.

I used to watch it! I dont remeber it well though..

Nice find! Yeah its just a promo disc, but a good add on to the game showing the cartoon. A Gamestop envelope will fit it next to the manual inside the PS2 version or get a duel case. The Gamecube Viewtiful Joe case would not have the room for the DVD.

If you want to sell, I'll buy it.

Again...here is my tale of the cruelst circuit board replacement ever perpetrated by man...

Here is my tale of woe...

My wife and I went to Asheville, North Carolina this weekend, and while she was at the Grove Park Inn Arts & Crafts Conference, I went hunting for games. I ended up with a ton of games and I stayed well within my budget. Overall, it was great weekend...with one exception.

On the way back to Charlotte, I stopped at a flea market. It was later in the day Sunday, and people were starting to close up. There was, however, a video game dealer that was still open. I looked around for a bit, and noticed a bin of items behind the counter. I ask to look through the bin, and the owner agrees - stating that he has not had time to look up and price the items in it. After sorting through some common Genesis games I find...Ninja Gaiden Trilogy.

Camonflauging it with copies of Crytalis (NES) and Mad Max (NES) and mixing it in with the other things I wanted, I offer him $40. We settle on $43, and I quickly exit - very happy with my find. (My $43 purchased El Viento (Genesis CIB); Tekken (PS1 longbox CIB); Ren & Stimpy Buckaroo$ (NES loose); Crystalis (NES loose); Mad Max (NES loose); and Ninja Gaiden Trilogy (SNES loose).)

When I get home, I throw Ninja Gaiden Trilogy in my SNES to test it out, and...BattleClash loads up.

Someone apparently switched the board in the cartridge for BattleClash. Who does that? Why? WHY!!!!!!??????

That's karma for you...

Super R-Type and Super Probotector (Contra 3) for $12 each from cashiies, labels are a little rough, but a lot of fun to be had for $12 each.

Alrighty, so I went back to Level Up today and got the issue resolved. I was able to exchange the Great Volleyball-in-disguise for an actual copy of Wonder Boy III (which works fine) and I also exchanged Vigilante for Alien Syndrome. Unfortunately I can't get Alien Syndrome working at all, but at least I now have a donor for making a Mark III-to-SMS cart converter.

I also picked up a very minty SMS controller for $3.95 there while I was at it.

[retrosportsgamer]

That's a nice deal for the controller.
