That'd be ironic. Or would it? Alanis confuses me.

Stopped at a sale in the rain... Found this box for 70.00. Everything is in amazing condition. Like it was never played.

Probably gonna sell most of it off to pay for the few games I want to keep. Keeping Evolution and egg for sure... Not familiar with many of the others.

Yeah, 10 bucks.

I asked if she had any more video game stuff and she said that she had a Playstation, so I'm thinking it's the original which I don't care about. But then I see that it's black, but it's upside down so it looks like a PS2. I get up to it and realize it's a PS3, I ask how much and she says $10. I'm downfounded and can't get the money out of my wallet fast enough.

Just stopped into the retro game store and found Harvest Moon: Another Wonderful Life on GameCube CIB for $4.

Xbox Doom 3 Resurrection Evil - $5.00 BookOff
The follow up game of Doom 3. The console version does not need the original to play.

Xbox Oddworld Strangers Wrath - $5.00 BookOff
Already have the game disc only, had to get another for CIB. A different sort of FPS, shooting various creatures to wipe out the enemy. This game is soooo much fun! :mrgreen:
The Good, the Bad, & the Oddly
http://www.cgw.com/Publications/CGW/200 ... Oddly.aspx


Aside from injecting the formulaic genre with a refreshing dose of strategy and “Oddworldly” fun, the game is one of the first to combine a first-person perspective, used primarily for shooting, with elements of third-person play, which require a view of the Stranger and his relation to the environment so he can execute jumps and other intricate movements.

Because strategy was an integral element of the gameplay, this placed increased importance on AI and physics modeling. The player’s interactions with the NPCs and their surroundings are more complicated than in previous games, due in part to the intricacy of the environments and the strategic deployment of live ammo critters, each of which has it own purpose. For instance, zappflies are chargeable and can be used to stun adversaries and set off electrical switches to open doors, bolamites are web-slinging spiders that can ensnare victims, fuzzles are personnel-seeking porcupine mines, skunks lure enemies and incapacitate them with their stench; and chippunks distract them with their loud demeanor. In addition, the environments are laden with hidden traps that the Stranger can use to his advantage, such as activating giant cranes to drop boulders on unsuspecting goons.

Xbox Midnight Club Dub Edition - $5.00 BookOff
Not the Platinum edition with the bonus Japan city bonus level, have to pick that up later.

PS2 Sega Ages Fantasy Zone - $5.00 BookOff :shock:
Did I post a few times already how much I loooove BookOff. This game in pristine condition is one of the many reasons!
http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/segaages/segaages.htm

What is it? - Sort of like Defender but with a bright layer of pastels, Fantasy Zone is a scrolling shoot-em-up which features a ton of crazy enemies and the ability to buy new parts for your ship, a pink pod with wings called Opa Opa

About the Sega Ages version - Fantasy Zone is one of the only early Sega Ages titles that manages to take the visuals into the third dimension while remaining faithful the original. The new 3D graphics are cel shaded, and while they're a bit jaggy, still manage to look pretty impressive. The "Arcade Mode" plays just like the original game, but the "Original Mode" adds in short pre-level pans that show off the 3D effects, as well as over-the-shoulder bonus stages when you defeat a boss. All you do is dodge obstacles while the boss vomits coins before falling apart, but it's cool to actually see these 2D objects rendered in 3D without ruining any of the original game. The only potential knock is that none of the music is arranged, and is taken straight from the arcade version. Given how catchy the soundtrack is, even in FM synth, this is hardly much of a negative. There are also four brand new levels added to the main game.

PS2 Cy Girls - $3.00 BookOff
Oh why not another stealth type of game, looks like it might have similiar gameplay to PS2 Stolen.

PS2 Blood Will Tell Game Case, Book and Sega Registration - $14.99 shipped Ebay
I had already bought this game almost a year ago disc only for $4.49 at Gamestop after seeing Metal Jesus's Video Review. Nice to finally make it CIB for under twenty bucks total!

PS2 Redbox Guitar Hero Sensor - $1.00 BookOff
A spare for my fake geeeetar.

GBA Nightmare Before Christmas - $3.00 BookOff
After reading decent reviews, had to get it. I actually passed up on this game twice, forgetting about researching it.

Retro EMag PDF Disc Vol 1-2-3- $14.39 shipped Imagine Publishing
Nice PDF compilation of a magazine series I never heard of. Looks to be similiar to Retro Gamer Magazine. Lots of reading to kill time on the PC. :D

DVD The Terminator Special Edition - $3.00 BookOff
Okay so its campy 80s flick but good for another "I'll Be Bach" viewing.

Game Guides - $2.00 Each BookOff
Perfect Dark Zero - Lego Indiana Jones 2 - Lego Batman

Perfect Dark Zero Guide just another add on to my frenzy to get CIB all the collector cards of the game. The two Lego game guides also good for the collect everything in the games themselves.
