Video Game "Look what I found"

[Demented Collector]

more nice buys

Seriously dude, I dunno how you do it. Do you have a sales thread by any chance?

Not yet, it's something I really out to sort out

Visited the usual boot sale today and found...

SMB £1
Rayman 2, 50p
Silent Hill demo 20p
Pac Man and Toki Tori £1.50 each
Sega adaptor £1


Had to haggle loads to get this lot for £35

3DX?

Whatever that is, I need one.

He gets it correct earlier in his post so no reason to call out typos.

Thanks a lot Breetai, I had to go back a couple pages and see if there was a 3DFX video card or something. Just to find out BoringSupreez mentioned 32X already.

Atari Flashback 2 w/ 1 controller & adapter: $5

Very Nice! So tempting to add the cart connector.

Actually the fact that you can install a cart connector is why I bought the thing in the first place XD Dunno when I'll get around to doing it though.

Same here, I have the Flashback 2 as well. Even though I already have a 2600/2600jr/7800 it would be an interesting mod to tackle.

[WrathOskvro]

Yeah I'm actually not as much of a purist when it comes to Atari systems because it was too far before my time. I was born in 91 so I grew up with NES and Genesis for the most part. :p Flashback 2 is the only Atari system I have (or plan to have, unless I can find a 7800) mainly because I don't wanna screw around with RF connections.

Not much luck today but I did snag a $5 GBA SP with some Spongebob game for a friend who needed a replacement for a lost SP.

This is my first entry to this thread, so let's hope I don't disappoint too much.

Anyway, so today I managed to get a couple of games in the mail, courtesy of Amazon:

Uniracers (SNES)
Zoda's Revenge: Star Tropics II (NES)

Uniracers was cart only, and covered in rental stickers. That Blockbuster sticker is a bigger pain in the ass to remove than a Gamestop sticker 9 times out of 10. Luckily I spent some time cleaning it up and now it looks more like a regular SNES cart instead of a mistreated, stickered-up tragedy left in Blockbuster Purgatory.
Cost: $6.16 (minus the shipping, the game was $2.17).

Now Zoda's Revenge....well, I was shocked. According to the description of the cart I picked, the seller said that it was going to be a game in a case, so I assumed it was the game housed in one of those plastic Nintendo cases made popular by rental stores (I have a couple of games that have this). Oh no. Instead I pulled out a COMPLETE, IN BOX, EVEN THE WRAP WAS ON IT, although with a tear in it. But still....complete in box with EVERYTHING, even the Nintendo Power form.
Cost: $4.94 (minus the shipping the game was....$0.95. Yeah. )

Oh and to top it off, on my way to In&Out for dinner, I stopped by the Goodwill along the way in Fontana, since I hadn't been in a couple of weeks. I gave myself 5 minutes, so if I didn't see anything I liked in the store, I would leave after 5 minutes. I go to the counter and....a stack of NES games. Silent Service, Arch Rivals, Bases Loaded 2, and Rygar. Guess which one I picked?

Get Amazon Prime. $1 shipping helps it pay for itself.
