Video Game "Look what I found"

[J_Wil]

Scored all this for $28.82 at a thrift store.

I swear to god, you guys make up some of these finds up haha. Every time I visit a store that carries old games it's just 30 copies of Madden 98'. Congrats on the awesome haul!

Ha, thanks! Dude, if only you knew how few and far between stuff like this is. I strike out maybe 10 times for every 1 time I find anything decent and something truly amazing is maybe once or twice a year. I just happen to stop in frequently and increase my odds. It's honestly just luck and frequency. With the stuff I found yesterday, so many things had to align for me to pick up those games. Pure luck on that one.

I picked this stuff up from the pawn, spent about $120. I'll have to sell a couple to offset my cost, but I kept like 6-8 titles for myself and i'll be keeping a few for my nephew. most notable titles are dragon warrior 2 & 3, contra, Zelda, link, kirby, castlevania series, river city ransom.

Picked up a copy of the original Final Fantasy for the NES. I overpaid but it was there and in good condition.

My girlfriend scored a copy of Dragon Warrior I&II for the Game Boy Color.

My brother needed another set of security camera so I bought some for him to pay me back, then the next day they were $15 cheaper so I emailed them and they gave me a gift card (but I have no plans to tell my brother that )

So I got Sonic Lost World for Wii U for $25.49

$44.99 (game) - 10% coupon code - $15 gift card.

Found these at a local second-hand goods store today for a total of $5. Never played either, but always wanted to give the earlier Fallout games a try. Can anyone attest to Quake 2? I've never played a Quake game before, but I know they're supposed to be pretty solid.

If you happen to like Quake I highly recommend the Qauke Collection over at steam it usually runs $5-10 during the sales.

Quake games are solid, though they're not all directly related. First one is (so far) kind of a one-off outside of the expansions. Quake III/Quake Live is a spinoff similar to Unreal Tournament, in that the focus is entirely on multiplayer style arena combat. Quake II has a plot to it, which is continued in 4, and sorta given a prequel in Enemy Territory: Quake Wars.
Either way, it's a good game for the time, but it's also from a time when FPS games were improving/changing a lot year-to-year, and Half-Life would set the bar not long after.

Anyway, if I recall, the installer for Quake II may take a long time to pop up on modern systems (or something), but you can get around it by manually copying the install data over.

So, my wife bought a Wii for cheap today. A lady local offered a Wii with everything except a game for $20. I told her to ask if it was BC and the seller said they thought their kids had played GameCube games on it before.

So, I got excited because I don't own a GC and would love to play some of the games. Also, seeing how the Component Cables for a GC are more than a BC Wii, I thought it would be better to go with a BC Wii.

WEEEELL, it turned out the Wii wasn't backward compatible. However, it did come with a Wiimote with Motion plus built in and since I only have one Wiimote for my Wii U, I still came out ahead.

Nothing really useful here, just thought I would share.
