Wow, nice find! Was it only $1.00?
It was. 8)

It was in a CD holder with a bunch of bad music. I thought I saw a Dreamcast logo and when I pulled it out I knew I must have hit a jackpot even though I had never heard of this Fatal Fury game, I know that Garou: Mark of the Wolves is a really expensive AES game so it must have had some serious value just as a Dreamcast game. :shock:

It's also complete even with the registration card and there is no scratches, it looks unplayed. I'm going to clean it up though, the outside is dirty from that holder.

Wii Flips Twisted World - $1.79 Gamestop
Heard about this game, finally found it on the cheap. The different rotation angles to get thru a level an interesting take. So did the Mario Galaxy games get inspired by this four year development title?

Xbox Pirates Legend Of Black Kat - $5.00 BookOff
Another game I have held off on the PS2. Saw the Xbox version having read actually decent reviews on the game. Certainly better then the Disney sponsored Pirate series. Sailing the ship with cannon fire a kick.

Xbox Ultra Bust A Move - $5.00 BookOff
Lately I have been coming across so many Bust A Move variants. The Xbox release offers a unique tilt platform. In addition of matching same colored marbles, the board has to remain "balanced", too many marbles stuck on one side and the screen tips over.

360 Perfect Dark Zero Limited Collector's Edition - $1.79 Gamestop
Take a guess how many of these tin cases I have now. My attempt to obtain all varieties of the collector cards hidden inside. Only thing missing is the outer sleeve on most I have found, but every copy is CIB inside with both books, two discs, Samsung Perfect Dark Flyer and a unique card in the series. Passed the halfway mark!

PS2 Chessmaster -$5.99 $1.19
Not sure if this is related with the older PC series, but a decent price. Come to think of it any CIB PS2 game at 80% off is a great price! :mrgreen:

PS2 Conflict Vietnam $9.99 $2.25 Gamestop
PS2 Conflict Desert Storm $2.99 $0.67 Gamestop

Never heard of the Conflict shooters, evidently there is a whole series. For some reason, the Vietnam game cost a lot more before the discount.

PS2 Transformers The Game $4.99 $0.89
The idea of flying as a jet and turning into a hybrid robot plane midair has always hooked me since Macross disappointed me in the PS1 and PS2 games. Maybe finally have a decent "Robotech" fighter. Nice to try a PS2 game that also made a PS3 and 360 appearance.

PS2 Socom US Navy Seals Combined Assault - $2.99 $0.67 Gamestop
Have other Socoms, another team stealth to continue the hunt.

PS2 Burnout Revenge 9.99 $2.25 Gamestop
Having played a couple older versions, fun doing the crash and burn stunts.

PS2 Guitar Hero World Tour $5.99 $1.19 Gamestop
Never had planned on buying the games that I think took up too much shelf space during the last days of the PS2. However, since I found the free Wii and PS2 Guitar Controllers, been slowly acquiring all the PS2 and Wii versions when I find them cheap.

DVD Once Upon A Time In Mexico - $3.00 BookOff
Pulp Fiction western theme? Well maybe a stretch too far in my description, but a fun action filled romp. Have to pick up the other two movies of this trilogy.

Was visiting my parents over the weekend and my mom told me about a garage sale nearby that was advertised on craigslist. Looking through their pictures on the listing I saw this beauty. Guy tested it for me on the spot and $90 later she was all mine :)

That's a great price for a CIB copy. :) Still, that doesn't seem like garage sale pricing to me. They obviously knew what they had. Were they collectors selling off their stuff?

Yea he knew what he had but at least the price was nice! I don't think he is a collector though he also had a boxed Colecovision for $40 that I wish I had the money for. He did mention he got Chrono Trigger for $1 at a flea market, dunno if I believe him!

Although I could never part with $90 for it, I agree that it is a very fair price based on current market value. He may have bought it for $1 long before the retro craze hit. Who knows. Good score at any rate.

Since Flips Twisted World came out in 2010, and Mario Galaxy came out in 2007, Id say no.

Yeah, you overpaid by about $6.35. I got the 2 Riddick movie set that had that included too. The movies are a bit silly with the "hey, funny meeting you here" stuff, but the animated is terrible with it on top of just being a boring excuse for a fight that isn't very good.

I liked it...

I also watched Riddick (2013) last night. It was awesome. They just do not make hard "R" science fiction films like this any more. (Even the latest Robocop film was PG-13...)
