Wait, what?
He lives in Bahrain. It is a small island country between Saudi Arabia and Qatar.
I know. He's mentioned it before. I still don't know what he means though. Did he buy them 5 years ago or now?

I took it to mean he bought some games that originally came out around five years ago.

Damn. First decent Craigslist find in a while. Dude had a dozen Genesis games up for "Make me an offer", I mainly wanted Mutant League Football/Hockey, so I sent him a semi-lowball (I sent him an offer that would've been reasonable for those 2 games alone). Just picked it up today as our schedules finally aligned. Total haul:

Battletoads and Double Dragon
Comix Zone
Ecco the Tides of Time (lots of stickers)
Jurassic Park Rampage Edition (rough label)
Mutant League Football
Mutant League Hockey (rough label)
Pac-Man 2 The New Adventures (rough label)
Risk
Sonic Classics
Sonic 3
Sub-Terrania (with a NFR sticker on it? I didn't think that was an NFR release)
Toy Story
Maximum Carnage (rough label)

plus a 1st party controller, a 3rd party controller, PSU and a random RF cord that he had no use for.

Total price? $40. I'm certainly happy with that haul, especially since other than Sonic 3 they're all new to my collection.

It obviously wouldn't have been a pack in, but maybe it was in a demo kiosk? Anyway, good haul.

Looks like that poor NES was banished to the garage for a while.

I think it'll clean up really well though. :)

Yeah that's what I'm thinking. I was just kinda surprised, I'm used to RFGeneration having *EVERY* NFR possibility marked somewhere.

Scoped out the fleas today and picked up a decent haul for $38.

6 Xbox games. Was really excited about phantasy Star Online Episode I & II but am somewhat disappointed that there is no work around other then finding an old Xbox Live Account gamer tag save to play it offline. Will be swapping out the limited edition copy of Jade Empire for my standard. Other than that I felt Crazy Taxi 3 was worth picking up and got GTA San Andreas to see how it plays in comparison to the PS2 version. Been meaning to pick up Hulk Ultimate Destruction as well defiantly one of the better Marvel hero games.

Also got a few PS1 and PS2 games. Broken Helix sounds pretty cool at least based on the back of the case, and Yanya Caballista has a really nice art style. To bad Yanya didn't come with the finger board controller attachment hopefully I can manage without it. Also got a free manual for my loos crash bandicoot disc.

Also found some Amiga games which were CIB and looked pretty awesome. Man Hunter 2 looks especially cool.

Also picked up some random stuff on the side. Snagged a Generator Vol. 1 Demo Disc for the Dreamcast for my demo collection and a cheap GBC/GBA link cable with a bonus Link Port Multiplier still sealed.

Also picked these up for $4.25 the other day at good will. S-Controller was missing the extention cable but was in otherwise great shape and the hip gear controller had a mad catz memory card in it. Was hoping to use the hip gear controllers extension cable but the cable is built on so no dice :P.
