Re: Video Game "Look what I found"
Just found Donkey Kong Country 2 SNES for $5 at a thrift store! Great Deal! Been wanting this one for a loooong time, and now I have all the SNES DKC games!
What's funny is this particular store never really has any games and I pretty much stopped going there haha. Got lucky this time.
Now off to Gangplank Galley Ye skally-wags!

Re: Video Game "Look what I found"
Dear Video Game Look What I Found:
I never thought it would happen to me.
I stopped by a local pawn shop this morning assuming it would be picked over. (I mean, I do visit it with some frequency.) Most of the usual over-priced games were still sitting there, but I noticed a pile of complete PS1 games sitting behind the counter. I asked how much they were, and the manager said that each game was $0.99. At that price, and after looking through the stack, I decided to buy all of them. I got:
and
and
The pile also had:
and
I was pretty pleased with it, but then I saw:
and
I also picked up The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD for $10.
Sincerely,
prfsnl_gmr

Moreover, the store's card readers were down, and I had to go up the street to get cash before I could buy the games. Although I had them set aside for me, someone else was perusing them when I left, and it made for a few tense minutes.
He ended up being more interested in the Final Fantasy games that were included with the set (i.e., Final Fantasy Anthology and Final Fantasy Chronicles). After I bought the games, we discussed our mutual affection for the series, and I ended up just giving those games to him. (They were "greatest hits" titles; I already owned them; they only set me back $2; and he had never played any Final Fantasy games before Final Fantasy VII.)
