PS1 Barracuda 2 - $7.99 Luna Games
Besides the huge Sony PSX Flight Stick, the Barracuda "Cat Head" and the Barracuda 2 are the only controllers I know to have the capability of BOTH Analog Sticks operate as the Direction Pad on a Playstation. This is great for older non Dual Shock PS1 games as well as newer PS1 and PS2 games that do not use an Analog stick. The Barracudas work especially great in Tank Control games, when set to digital mode. Hold up on the DPad or either Analog Stick to move while using either Analog Stick to turn at the same time. No more stopping to change directions. 8)

I now own 2 each: viewtopic.php?p=217621#p217621 :D

Shenmue II with Bonus DVD Movie - $2.00 Thrift Store
I like Dreamcast PAL Shenumue better for the spoken Japanese language and English subtitles. Nice getting the XBox version with the bonus DVD movie. The video is from the first Shenmue game compiled of cutscenes and gameplay edited together to create the movie. Stitched together well, I can tell the gameplay scenes only due to the quick "Streetfighter" moves during battles. The movie can be heard spoken in Japanese or English, but only has Japanese subtitles, a disappointment. As in the PAL Shenmue II game the emotion seems stronger when spoken in Japanese. The movie starts with a logo stating XBox, this made me wonder. Is there another version Shenmue movie or is this footage from an unreleased XBox version? :?:

Three Wii Key SD Card Adapters - $9.78 Shipped EBay
http://www.ebay.com/itm/160514042364?ss ... 4043wt_722
Each Memory Card Adapter is only $3.26, free shipping. I bought three at a great price under ten bucks shipped all the way from Kowloon, Hong Kong. I really miss Hong Kong, a gamers paradise. I have one opened up to show the inner workings. These are easy to make, but at this price cheaper to buy. The Wii Keys are spare SD Gecko cards for my Gamecube with SD Cards used for Emulators, Import Games and Home Brews. :mrgreen:

CRTGAMER wrote:A little on the high side but considering the entire bundle, not bad. The uncommon Component cable goes from $100.00 online all the way down to $5.00 at Gamestop. Although the Gamestop find will be very hard to come by, I found one there buried behind used controllers on a peg hook.

Why not put the other Gamecube games for sale here?


I'm planning on putting Ikaruga up. I was going to put the two Zelda games up but I tossed them on Amazon first and they sold overnight. I also put the Gamecube, controller and one game up for $30 and was surprised that it sold in a few hours. The rest of the games that came w/ it were very cheap and likely not of interest anyway. I'll probably put the component cables up on here too. I've been lazy lately and not updated my sale thread, but once my buddy gets the Master System/3DO bundle I found on CL (that's out of my way to get), which I told him I'd split the profits on, I'll likely be making a big update. Also he still has the DS lot too, and that's all going up here.

I stopped by Goodwill before work but they didn't have anything too interesting (and only a couple new games that I hadn't seen last time I was there).
I have a ton of games listed at my store's site: Super Smash Video Games

A shop near me had 4 or 5 copies for $3-5 each. I thought Shenmue II X-Box was common. AFAIK, the DVD movie comes with every copy of Shenmue II.

Everything so far seems to be in good working order, except the voice attachment. The guy who sold it to me runs an antique store; he rescued it from the trash can, since his son-in-law bought all this stuff "back in the day," and was planning to pitch it because he already has basically every system ever, and didn't need this lot anymore.
