Video Game "Look what I found"

[CRTGAMER]

Eleventh flea market of 2013...

Wow! Nice Finds!
That Guncon with the matching HDTV ready Sensor Belts!

Atari Flashback 2 - $7.00 Swap Meet
This is the mod-able Atari cart version which makes the price especially sweet. Seller actually wanted ten bucks, talked him down to seven.

7 Clear Jewel Cases - Free / Apple G3 CRT Button 50 Cents
Spotted the Jewel Cases in an empty trash can early in the day at the Swap Meet. This goes with the analogy "it pays to dig thru the garbage" to find the good deals at the Swap Meet. As a G3 iMac owner the button was a nice find!

iClicker - 50 Cents
Another item on the cheap table. I thought is was used in polling at TV game shows, turns out it is mainly used in College lectures where students click in their answers. A novelty device to display with my other weird remotes. My RCA clicker is still the most unique though.

Xbox Fusion Frenzy - $5.00 Swap Meet
In my hunt of Xbox Exclusives, snagged this game. Turns out to be crappy quick bites of confusing mini games with an annoucer I would love to choke. At least the better mini games can be played directly after an initial game round is unlocked.

Wii uDraw Marvel Super Hero Squad - $4.99 Frys
Finally picked up this game now that I found it at a decent clearance price. Actually surprised how the game played, a sort of rudimentary WiiU Wonderful 101 game play style in drawing out the weapons. I updated my uDraw post with an expanded review.

Wii Sengoku Basara Samurai Heroes - $5.00 Swap Meet
Another five dollar deal, never even heard of this game. Put out by Capcom from the same creator of Devil May Cry 4 and even supports a Classic Controller. Over the top killing a massive amount of enemies with every strike. The sword play can get tedious, but one character uses guns instead. Very satisfying when everyone else is using just blades at the "gunfight", I actually like the one shot at a time walking around defying everyone over the charge attack multi kills.

I never have any luck at flea markets or thrift shops, the only flea i went to, the game seller had everything i could have dreamed of finding but insisted on looking prices up on ebay so i walked with nothing, but i did manage to find a copy of SSB: Brawl at the goodwill last weekend for 4 bucks.

People who find good stuff at flea markets / garage sales/ thrift stores only post here when they find stuff, there is a lot of downtime. There are days I do a circuit of 10 or so thrift stores and come up with nothing, but the next week I drop into one on my way to work and I find 5 games for a buck each.

If you want to find stuff at a thrift store, what you save in money, you lose in time.

Wow! Nice Finds! That Guncon with the matching HDTV ready Sensor Belts!

Still not sure how using this with my projector is going to work out though...

You also have to get up early in the morning. (flea markets)

And you can only pick what they have.

Which sometimes means waiting years to get that one game you've been looking for...

Just hang them on either side of the projected image. The Guncon 3 uses the belts for detection. A shame those belts do not work on the earlier Guncon games though. You could get crazy for a different sort of sharp shooting, even hang them on the opposite wall for a mirror effect of gunplay.

For me the time is part of the fun, the hunting thru the tables and finding something different. Most of the time I do not find a sought after game, but discover other treasures.

Njet, both sensors are attached to each other with a 75cm wire.

Kinda sucks when you need more like 250cm between them...

I alway enjoy seeing old Apple stuff. I still wish my G3 PowerBook was working, it was my favorite design. I'm okay with my iBook G4 and iPad.

Was the Xeonoblade accidently included in the photo or was it really only three bucks?

Nope, in there on purpose. They usually charge $8 for Wii games (unless they are as previously mentioned, in the "Glass Case of Destiny") but I asked if I could have it for $3 since I was already buying Suikoden 4 for a hiked up price. The whole time I was like, "Please don't look these up on ebay before you ring me up, please don't look these up on ebay, please oh please."

They didn't, and I've now added Xenoblade to my collection. WOOT!

Just picked up a factory sealed copy of Shenmue 2 for 10 bucks of this site kijiji (torontos equivalent to craigslist) I think it's a good deal
