Re: Video Game "Look what I found"

Post by jinx »

I never owned one, but I've used it at a friend's house and on one of the old Walmart demo displays. Can't say I enjoyed it at all. My hands are relatively small with long thumbs (and fingers?). The thing actually did give me cramps, and that's before I read all the crap about it. After a while, I wouldn't even play my friend's Xbox because of it.

Also, I need to hit up some flea markets. I'm still getting used to this area as I don't get out much. It's hard to tell where the best places to go are. Every yard sell I hit up is always filled with clothes, and baby junk. Kinda sucks...

Paid 9.99 each at a local pawn shop. All current gen games are that price. FF not a huge deal but borderlands was a good find.

That's pretty cheap anywhere, and it is a lot of fun collecting for the xbox. Nice find!

I grabbed 37 Atari 2600 games off of Craigslist today for $60, which includes: Adventure, Berserk, Football, Gopher, Breakout, Submarine Commander, Dig Dug, Galaxian, Tennis, Asteroids, Maze, Golf, Sky Jinks, Outer Space, Chopper Command, Baseball, Ice Hockey, Fast Food, Fishing Derby, Combat, Space Combat, Midnight Magic, Missile Command, Omega Race, Sword Quest: Earthworld, Pac Man, Barnstorming, Strategy X, Phoenix, Super Breakout, Buck Rogers, Defender, Home Run, Basketball, Star Raiders, and Tank Plus.

All of the games are in great shape, and there are several semi-rare titles (Strategy X, Submarine Commander), some Sears picture labels (Maze, Ouiter Space, Space Combat), and some popular titles (Adventure, Dig Dug, Galaxian, Golf, etc.)

I will be keeping about 1/2 of the lot and selling the rest to offset the cost. Since I acquired the entire lot for a little under the total market price of the titles I am keeping, however, getting even $1 for all of the remaining games will mean that I got a good deal.

EDIT: Nice work, fragems! Now is a great time to be buying PS2 games, and you did really well.
