Video Game "Look what I found"

[CRTGAMER]

MS Force Feed Back 2 Flightstick - $3.00 As Is Thrift Store
Add a buck more for the solid AC power cord and it works! This is now the main Flight Stick for the PC. The Flightstick does not take a reduced voltage power brick but the full 120 Volt cord direct plugged into the base. The servos kicking back really adds a dimension to the flight.

MakoPad 64 - $3.00 Thrift Store
Looks just like the SuperPad 64 with the Analog stick steel shaft. This has added capability of auto fire!

Gamecube Wavebird -$3.00 Thrift Store
Any game controller three bucks! There were actually three wavebirds, but could not find the receivers so only bought one as a spare.

Hot Wheels Jetz - $2.00 Thrift Store
A simple arcade style flight sim, for my Dreamcast Toy Commander fix on the PC. There is a UFO to fly in it for a different style of flight. Not as good as Sublogic UFO though.

Elroy Goes Bugzerk - $2.00 Thrift Store
Actually my second copy of this game. Yeah I know its supposed to be for kids, but it is very well done. In macromedia Flash, think of cartoons such as Dexters Lab or Fosters House, the crazy humor. Now to catch that damn chicken! These older "Living Books" games can fully file copy over to the hard drive.

Elroy Hits The Pavement - $6.00 Online Shipped
In researching, found out there is another Elroy game so I had to get it. Still a kids game, but damn its funny and well made as an interactive cartoon. Both of the Elroys are older Win 3.1 games, but work just fine in Windows XP in Win 95 mode.

Anybody with kids or are a big kid themselves, these are very entertaining.

Namco Pacman PlugnPlay - 0.75¢ Thrift Store
The PlugnPlay series are great, especially on the road if one needs a very small game "console" for the hotel TV. My third unit, at this price I can't stop.

Charlie Blasts Territory $5.00 BookOff
Never saw this title before, a Sokoban puzzler with a mix of Bomberman in it. Apparently the same developer as PS1 Bombing Islands but with a different theme.

Nintendo NES Cleaner - $2.00 BookOff
This is the cart put out by Nintendo, works fine for an easy quick clean of the Top Loader NES.

NES Super 8 Pads -$3.00/5.00 BookOff
Two different BookOffs at different prices. Nice size of the dogbone approach with auto fire buttons.

Well guys, it's been a while since I've posted in this thread. Haven't really come across anything too spectacular. However, in the mail yesterday arrived a deal that I just had to share.

That's because I got....



MOTHER F'IN EARTHBOUND! Oh, and some other games too...



After years of trying to get a boxed copy of Earthbound at a reasonable price I finally got lucky when browsing half.com. Was looking over cart-only listings in the "Very Good" category when I noticed that someone had posted "Box in very good shape, cartridge is like new, some light wear to the strategy guide." Then I looked at the price...$223. I couldn't believe it, I added it to my cart and noticed he also had other complete rpg's for the ps1 and SNES for sale at very low prices. I quickly tossed in BoF and SoE for 20 dollars a piece, and Mystic Quest for $7.00.

After my purchase was complete not a word was spoken about it to anyone, as to not jinx the shipping process, natch.

Carts for all games are like new.
All scratch n sniff cards are intact.
Only flaws on Earthbound box are the Best Buy sticker on front and a security tab on the back.
Strategy guide is in nice shape but there are some notes taken in pencil on some of the pages.

I'm considering using the blow dryer trick to get the Best Buy sticker off but I've never done it before and it's probably a terrible idea to start with such an expensive box.

$223 for a CIB Earthbound? That's pretty awesome, the cart alone is approaching that much.

Good eye, and somebody else asked for stories based on my finds so I shall paste them here in the thread with a link in case anybody is having loading issues.

I got this today at the flea market:

CIB skies of Arcadia DC $4.00, some scratches but looks more or less good.

Two original ps1 memory cards for $3.00

Micro machines GB cart only and an old memory stick pro 128mb (shiny blue!) For $5.00

Then at Salvation army I found CIB copies of ps1 Blade, Bushido Blade, and Populous the beginning. All for $6.00

I then got the studio ghibli/Disney DVD of My neighbors the yamadas for $2.00

Really envious of the Skies of Arcadia find, nice work.

Also those Elroy games that CRT picked up are really great, kind of in the same vein as Sam & Max, though a little more geared towards kids.
