Video Game "Look what I found"

Gamesharks are really rare (somewhat pricey) on Ebay these days, so snatch those up whenever you can!

Sudoku Linbar 30618 $1.00 Library Book Store
Another adition to my PlugnPlay / Portable collection. The cursor movement is slow, this game works better if on a touch screen.

PS1 Sphere 360 - $24.99 - IG Electronica Inc
I held off buying this controller for almost two years or maybe was it four; the same exact store still has five new sealed in stock. Finally took the plunge, an interested complicated controller that I'll review later. Works beautiful with the game Assault Rigs.



Xbox Big Bumpin / Pocket Racer - from noise
Already own the Sneaking game, had to complete the collection. Average games, but a couple of the bumpin levels are pretty good. Like the capture the flag level.

Travel Kit SP Headphone Adapter - $4.99 IG Electronica Inc
Bought this as a backup, it contains a standard 1/8 plug headphone adapter.

GBASP Folding Power Plug - $3.00 IG Electronica Inc
Good to have a new spare.

I posted the IG Electronica Inc Store in the Retro Games Store Directory

300 Soundtrack - $0.50 Library Book Store
Similiar to the God of War Soundtrack, how many got that one when offered as a download?

So it's been a while since I posted here so here I go with a couple of transactions that occurred over the last few weeks:

This occurred one day, via 2 Craigslist transactions. Wanted these games for a while, well, maybe not the 1943, but it was 5 bucks so what the hell. The Mario Bros I really wanted so I figured, might as well get the 1943 as well (both came from the same seller).

1943 = 5 bucks
Mario Bros = 5 bucks
Bomberman 64 = 6 bucks

Not too shabby for those games


Next was this transaction. A buddy of mine from high school initially told me several months ago that he had some NES games he didn't want and asked if I was interested. I said sure. Unfortunately, there wasn't a whole lot of back and forth between us for a while and I thought....well, I won't be getting those games then. Well, sometime last week, I texted my friend to ask if he still had them, he responded saying he did. So last Friday, after I dropped off my brothers at their school's football game, I went over to my friend's house and got the games. So here's everything he gave me (sorry if the photo is kinda crappy, the camera on my Env3 doesn't like taking flash pics up close, so I'll clarify for those who are wondering):

So those are my "big" finds. And lastly, everything in the above pic = free.

I found a brand new package of a combo pack from Blizzard its Starcraft +Warcraft 2 and I think Diablo or Starcraft expansion pack for about $10.

Not sure if I should pick it up or should I get it online. I have a feeling there will be issues running it on Windows 7 , and maybe the registration codes won't work. I also feel like maybe I can find it cheaper online. I can find Starcraft II for like $10 , why should I pay $10 for a 15 year old game. Should I pick it up?

If the registration codes do work, then you can link them to your Battle.net account and download new versions of the installers which won't require the CD to play the game. The new installers should work on Win7 just fine. $10 is a good price if the codes are valid.

Mario & luigi: bowsers inside story
Pet & vet healing hands
New super mario bros.

GTA on DS is pretty good

[BoneSnapDeez]

Managed to find some decent C64 arcade ports. Each of these games was $1 or $2 each.



Oh yes, the last game in the second row is Street Fighter ONE.

I also picked up Gauntlet, but unfortunately I can't get it to work with my aftermarket floppy drive. It hangs at the copy protection screen. All the more reason to fix or replace my two dead 1541 drives.

I also snagged these today for pretty cheap:



The 4-in-1 game is a re-buy of sorts - as my original copy was missing the Sherlock Holmes disc/manual. If anyone's interested in my old copy (which contains just the Arcade Classics disc + manual) shoot me a PM.

I have been holding off of buying a Saturn for some time now because the games are so expensive. However I recently came into a little extra spending money and caved in and bought a Saturn with an Action Replay cart. Here are the first games that I have purchased. I spent about $100 on these four which isn't a terrible price but is a lot worse than I normally do. The next thing that I am going to get is a fight stick or two because some of the button combinations in X-Men vs Street Fighter are extremely difficult to pull off with a normal controller.
