Video Game "Look what I found"

[vatermuzik]

Scored a complete copy of Tetris DS for $4 at a thrift store today. This store typically has little to no games, so that was a nice surprise.

I stumbled across this one for a few bucks at a garage sale this past summer. I ended up really liking it. It's like the original Tetris on steroids. Great "pick up and play" game.

$35 total at goodwill. Really stoked about the Gameboy Micro with the charger!

I bitterly envy anyone within reasonable distance to a Goodwill. While I did score Tetris DS for $4, I paid $8 for Pokemon Gold today, and they charge 2-3 bucks for shitty ps2 and genesis sports games, $5 for a third party ps1 controller (no analogs), etc. Oh the money I could make...

I was surprised to find a couple PS2 games at my local Goodwill, all $2.99 -- mostly $5-6 dollar games, nothing special, but I did get a copy of Obscure with box (no manual, sadly) for $2.99 which is a 30ish dollar game so that was a nice score.

You are very lucky. This wouldn't have even made it to the floor around here. With the exception of the PS2 and filler GB games, it all would have ended up behind glass for an auction or something, ending in someone bidding at or over the list price.

Nice score, BTW. I'd consider finding a GB Micro in the wild a HUGE win.

If I ever find stuff like that at my goodwill's it's a miracle(of course I haven't been in quite a few weeks might be time for another crawl after christmas...)


So a retro store was doing 20% off and I decided to stop by and see what I could find, and made it out with this:

- Pinball Quest(nes)
- FF Tactics(gba)
- dragon ball z: attack of the saiyans(ds cib)
- lego racers(n64)
- Pokemon Ranger: Guardian Signs(ds cib)
- Startropics(nes)
- legend of zelda: lttp ( gba)
- Lode runner 3d(n64)
- Aladdin (snes)
- Earthworm Jim(genesis cib)
- Propad 6 genesis controller(needed a genesis controller for my r5)

All for 101...feels pretty nice to add those to the collection(now i need to settle up for a ton of snes, gba, ds cases and a few more nes cases. They weren't kidding when they said they'd been getting a ton of business wish they would've had a good bit more of a selection though...(sure seemed to have a ton of games I either didn't want or need).

I took advantage of the Kmart clearance and sales last week and picked up:

Skylanders Swap Force Starter pack (PS3) - $20
Deep Red PS3 controller - $23
Disney Infinity Starter Pack (Wii U) - $36 - $16 in points = $21ish with tax

I think I might be happiest with the controller. I swear, every time I would look for one I could never find a new one for under $40
