Quarth is a fun shmuzzle game.
Agree, a sweet game combining Tetris and a bottom shooter. I discovered it on a bootleg multi game NES cart full of Famicom games, no idea why it never got a NES US release. Come to think about it the only official release other then emulated on Virtua Wii Console is that GB cart, which in itself makes it a nice collectable.

The game literally looks like the plastic wrap had just been taken off and stuck on the shelf, and I know that this thrift store for whatever reason does open new items and stick them out on the shelf. I don't know if it is to insure that there is a full game in there or something.
Very nice, you should post a bragging picture of the sealed Final Fantasy game. Oh go ahead and bust that game open. The only way to be sure it is complete and if the game works. You wouldn't want to do that twenty years later and discover an issue when the game is even more harder to find.
One thing I can never figure out with collectors is why the Black label is sought after more then the Greatest Hits version for any system. The connotation that a black label is more valuable seems silly to me.
The newer GH Label is only produced when tons of the Black Labels are sold. The GH label usually are less in circulation and in the case of PS2 games, sometimes includes extra levels. On the PS2 Black Label's defense, it usually has thicker paper for the manual, cover and sometimes color pages over the GH manuals which sometimes are in plain black ink pages. Not sure on PS1 Green Labels as far as extra features in the disc, but some do have revisions with bug fixes.

Florida sucks for retro game hunting. Only retro games i've ever seen at this thrift shop.
Hey that is okay, you scored on the Gamecube game. Even the Madden cart is a good price. The back of the cart can be used in case you find an import N64 game and do not want to import mod your console.

Very very nice! The Atari 5200 is a great system, that game is perfect if you ever come across a 5200 Trakball. What were the other four titles?

I found in the storage box several game boxes I somehow neglected to throw away as a child. Rummaging through the box I was able to reconstruct 4 CIB Intellivision games.
Great story! I wish I could find games lost from my youth like that. With that history you really should get that console fixed or get a replacement. What exactly is wrong with it, might be a simple repair such as a broken wire inside the power lead or something. Congrats on the games in your other replies as well. Those boxes look crisp new!
For anyone posting, maybe always type in the game titles so the Reply can be found later in a Search? This helps and might come in handy in case a collector might be looking up a particular title, especially one that is CIB as that beautiful complete 5200 Centipede game.
