I swear I almost crapped myself when I saw these. Only a few of them came with manuals. A few notables...
Pokemon Snap 1 and 2
Harvest Moon (complete) 8)

Most of these games I did not have and was super stoked to get DK 64 and Turok, both of which I loved when I was younger and borrowed from friends often.
Wow! Very nice find, and even with original boxes!

PC You Dont Know Jack TV - $2.00 Thrift store
PC Millionaire Sports - $1.50 Desert Industries Thrift Store

Bought two more editions of Trivia games that work great with my PC Buzz Controller "Mod", so many more Jacks to pick up. A nice extra, this Jack included the buzz in Q B P letter stickers.

PS2 Ratchet and Clank - $5.00 BookOff
PS2 Secret Agent Clank New Sealed - $19.99 $7.19 Gamestop
PS2 Ratchet Clank Commando New Sealed - $4.49 Goodwill Thrift Store

I have all the PS2 Jak main series, mixed up thinking I also had all the Clanks. Two of the games were sealed (no worries, now broke open), one at Goodwill and the other at Gamestop, the game was sitting in the drawer as new since 02/16/10! Another Gamestop retag and sold as used, two more Ratchets to hunt for. :mrgreen:

PS2 Sponge Bob Revenge Fly Dutchman - $1.50 Desert Industries Thrift Store
Not one of the better Sponge Bob games, but for a little over a buck its not bad either. I still need to pick up the Sponge Bob game recommended by Metal Jesus.

PC IBM Thinkpad Lenovo USB Sensor Mouse M03280 - $2.00 Swap Meet
I always liked the look of the IBM Thinkpad vintage Laptop, a starting point getting the mouse. It really is small for my paws, but is perfect for a Laptop on the go. I always though Microsoft Mice had the fastest pointer movement, but this tiny mouse beats them. Maybe because designed for a laptop, it was built to use very little desk space for movement? This is perfect for the tiny Starbucks table and screams with the movement setting kicked all the way up. Maybe I should try this with Centipede. :D

Picked up the smallest mouse in the pic below, all have light up Scroll Wheels.

PC Belkin Laptop USB Powered Cooler F5055 - $5.00 Desert Industries Thrift Store
No not for the laptop on the go but my version of noise's CRT TV PC. I have an older Laptop that hooks up to the HD CRT via SVideo which broils legs to well done. This will help for couch potato browsing at home, also puts the keyboard at an angle.

Wii Red Steel - $3.59
This is the game that is reputated as poor Wiimote control. I found no issues other then learning how the gun sight which is a bit touchy works. Mover the pointer around the screen, move a little further to spin around. On the level after the initial sword use, this is where many including me thought the Wiimote quite working. I had to hit the Dpad first to bring back up the gun and swords. :idea:

Wii Tatsunko vs Capcom - 49.99 $17.99 Gamestop
I posted the original new price since there was a old sales receipt under the game manual. The fool lost a lot of money on this trade In. At first I suspected the game was a new tagged to used, everything is really crisp. This game is bottomed out in price right now and will certainly go up in value. About time I bought this game, having already bought two of the Wii Tatsunko Arcade sticks, modded one for Geometry Wars when they bottomed out at twenty bucks at Gamestop.

DVD (Four disc pak) E3 Access 2005 - $3.00 BookOff
I have several copies of the 2004 DVD sets which highlighted the Dreamcast, Gamecube, PS2 and Xbox. With the 2005 release, nice to see a bit of history with the first announcements of 360, PS3, and a certain console back then initially named the Revolution with now standard on consoles motion controls. Both sets are a great video guide to look up on older games I missed out on not buying yet. Might even be some footage of early beta games that never were released. 8)

DVD Botched - $5.00 BookOff
I loooove this movie, the Russian guy is over the top hilarious. So weird, best way to describe is a comedy horror with lots and lots of spilled blood movie. If you see it, snag it, a a must own campy flick that sits well with Army of Darkness. :D

DVD Criterion Curious Case Benjamin Button (New Sealed)- $5.00 BookOff
Already seen the regular DVD when it first came out. Any Criterion version is worth getting, especially at only five dollars and still sealed including the outer cardboard liner!

DVD Chitty Chitty Bang Bang Special Edition with Book - $7.00 BookOff
I saw this at Target a year or two ago, never bought it since I already had it on Laser Disc and my kids are of college age now. Justified in purchase since eventually there will be grandkids and oh yeah the kid in me loves the movie! Very lucky to get an absolute pristine copy including the outer cardboard and especially a crisp new looking mini hardback book inside.

I love BookOff for protecting CDs, DVDs and Games with their resealable outer clear envelopes. CIB pristine is a norm when buying media there. :mrgreen:

Over the last month I have picked up a lot of stuff. Not a great deal of amazing items but the highlights are as follows:

My last day in California before moving to New Mexico I had to visit my favorite thrifts one more time and I'm glad I did. I picked up sealed copies of Scarface for PS2 and Die Hard: Vendetta for Gamecube for $5 each and found a Power Glove (unfortunately glove only) for $1. The Power Glove isn't in great shape but I have never owned one before and I know it's next to impossible to actually play games with but I really wanted one as a kid..."I love the Power Glove. It's so bad!". That same day I also picked up a CIB copy of Digimon Rumble Arena for $5, which is apparently a bit pricey on eBay. I lump Digimon in with Pokémon and Magic the Gathering- don't know anything about it, no interest at all. I hate to be "that guy", but I realized that was an expensive game when I saw it which is the only reason I bought it. This one's up for trade/sale.

Today I found a Gameboy Micro for $10 at a Christian indoor flea market. I was pretty excited for that. I didn't have high hopes when I walked in as the 1st thing I noticed as I walked in was a $45 original Xbox. I also picked up a Mad Catz 3-in1 RF adapter for $2 which connects to PS1/PS2, N64/SNES, and Dreamcast, which is perfect because I just picked up a console only Dreamcast at a thrift store for $7 earlier this week. Another thrift store had a $6 model 2 Genesis (console only) for $6. I can't seem to say no to any Genesis I see for less than $10. I think this is number 11 or 12 but it's going to my old man.

Other notables are an NES 64-in1 multicart for $10. I don't know much about NES multicarts but it looks interesting so I bought it. Also got a what seems never used CIB Dance Aerobics for $5. The clerk who sold this to me went on about how I can't play it without the Power Pad but I have zero interest in playing, just notching off one more towards a complete collection.
Battletoads & Double Dragon- NES ($too much)
Mega Bomberman- Genesis $8

Star Wars Ep II- GBA (CIB) $5
3 NES dogbone controllers $10 each. They're old new stock, never used. I bought one about a month ago and hadn't realized it was new until I opened it up. I went and grabbed what was left 1st chance I could. They guy who sold these to me even threw in 18 game manuals I needed to complete some boxed games for free!

Not a particularly uncommon game but I also picked up Jerry Glanville's Pigskin Footbrawl for the Genesis for $2. The name was familiar to me but I couldn't recall anything about the game. I picked it up anyway and popped it in after getting home from the store and was smacked in the face instantly with gleeful nostalgia. I definitely played this as a kid and it's still awesome now. If you guys aren't familiar with this game it's basically Arch Rivals but with football. Not your typical ho-hum sports game. I highly recommend giving this a shot if you find it cheap. It's tons of fun!

Ahhh you lucky bastard. I've been scouring eBay as of late trying to find one of these in decent condition for less than $25, to no avail. I'm quite jealous that you got three for $30 XD

I did however, purchase Golden Axe, Altered Beast, and Gargoyles for my new Genesis as well as a second model 1650 controller, all in good condition. Cost me just over $40 in total.

I am sure that some of you will not think that this is much of a deal, but I just grabbed a copy of:

Attack of the Movies 3D (Wii)

for a whopping $5. The game cam complete with its original case and manual, but more importantly, it also came with its original 3D glasses!

Good Score finding it with the shades! I heard the game is crap, but I should pick it up because of that red blue cheesy 3d imagery.

I hope this wasn't Southern Ca in my area! Congrats on the Great Finds! I love the "worthless" bootleg multi game carts. Sometimes you find rare games in them, look for Tengen Tetris in that NES cart.
