Re: Video Game "Look what I found"
My find today will make CRT proud lol.
Made a full sweep of my local goodwill's and other places I stop at today, havent done it in a long time so I hoped for some good finds. Came up empty handed until the 2nd to last stop, a local used record/movie/game chain. This location has what has to be at least 100 various ps1 controllers along one wall, I am serious, it takes up like a good 10 foot section of space, just various ps1 controllers. Curious to see if I could score one of the oh so coveted "Dual Analogue" controllers that was recently discussed in this thread I start to browse. Out of nowhere bam! there one was staring me right in the face hanging on the shelf $4.99! Sold!
Well it gets better, on my way out I see a sign that says all ps1 controllers and memory cards are buy one get one free! I turn around, hoping to either find another dual analogue, or something else interesting. On a lower peg hook, buried behind some controllers I spot a ps1 screen! It was dirty as hell, but the screen itself looked good, and the best part was the price of $7.99! Still looking for my free controller I spot an Interact Barracuda 2, which I believe has the same dual analogue functionality as the other controller (using both analogues as dpads) So I snatched it up. Total out the door was $14 and change. I tested the screen and it looks great, but it seems that my ps1 needs fixing, as it wont get past the initial screen,and the laser is making a clicking sound but thats another thread!
At one of the Goodwill locations I hit, I found a very interesting Genesis joystick:
The stick is micro switched, but doesnt seem to use a spring, it was hard as hell to get to engage any direction. The button layout was also strange, with that giant C button and a and b being normal. The bottom read "Q-J SG Megastar" I would have picked it up, but priced at 8 bucks was more than I wanted to pay for a novelty like this.
EDIT:
Got my ps1 working, holy crap is that screen nice! Like I cant believe how clear everything looks, and the sound blows me away! I tried Rayman and it looked sharp and clear, and the colors were excellent. I tried Final Fantasy 9, and it looked awesome, and the text was no problem at all to read. Having this as a kid would have been awesome, imagine this on a road trip...

There are apparently a lot of low-profile games out now for the 3DS. (You know...the ones that made the DS such a great system.) I used videogamepricecharts.com to update my "want" list the other day, and I was shocked as the number of awesome, undiscovered (at least to me) games. I ended up literally doubling the size of my want list by adding games like Freaky Forms, Frogger 3d, Shifting World, etc. I was very worried about the system's future for a while, but I am now more excited than ever about this handheld.

Re: Video Game "Look what I found"
Went to a couple of thrift stores today (and a GameStop).
The first thrift store is a popular (vulture) spot. It was a complete bust. All I was able to find was a Mission impossible guide and a Vintage nintendo power I found= $1.32.
Went to a GameStop about 20 miles from my house and picked up;
Star Fox:Command
Stafy
Shell in the Ghost
a PS2 Dvd controller
and a PS2 slim stand
Total: $16.00 (retail but sweet games and hardware.)
Went to a Vintage Toy store and pick up so sweet stuff like:
Fear Effect
championship Joystick for the SNES
BREATH OF FIRE IV (CIB mint)
Total: $30
Last but most definitely not least, stopped by a "Hole in a wall" thrift store in a questionable neighborhood, but sometimes yields some of the best deals Blue Stinger
Dynamic Cop
Tokyo Extreme Racer
Coaster Works
House of the Dead 2
Airforce Delta
Ready 2 Rumble
Sega Rumble
NFL 2K
2 new Blister pack VMU's
Doom3 (expansion pack)
Total: $15.00!!!!

Went Goodwill hunting today and picked up:
Zelda (nes) 1.59
Zelda 2 (nes) 1.59
Tomba (psx) 2.49 <-----this game was my favorite growing up...its so amazing...I just wish it wasnt so short...
Also saw Ninja Gaiden (nes) and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 (nes) for 5.99 each but didnt know whether I wanted to spend 12 bucks on them...that seems to be about ebay/amazon value.
