I was planning on getting gamestop's special on PSP games, but on a whim I asked the guy if they still had any DS games with their box. And he brought out a stack of about 20 games.

I was surprised that they even had any. Mostly all of their DS games are gutted and cart only.

Gave up on The Warriors PSP and a combo game of Mercury meltdowns PSP

And instead got these three DS games used and complete with all their packaging:

Grand Theft Auto Chinatown Wars, The World Ends With You, and Kirby Mass Attack

Got them for $48.80 with a B2G1 free sale. I normally dont buy games at $40+ but these had the boxes!


I think you got raped at the $48 for those three DS games. Mass Attack is a $8-10 game new. Chinatown Wars is $12-15 new. I think World Ends With You got a reprint.

Dreamcast with smoke black controller - $20 Salvation Army

It's an August 1999 model and plays my backups just fine. Although the controllers thumb stick is snapped off and I didn't notice it till I got home :(

Anyone have a spare stick and a VMU?

My Steal of the day was an Indigo GBA(Missing Battery Cover), Spider-man/Spider Man 2 combo cart (GBA), Bonk's Adventure(GB), and a PS1 Performance brand memory card taped together for $5.

Also picked up a copy of Street Fighter II for the NES for $5.

Return to Krondor (discs only) - Pretty excited about this find. The game is a sequel to Betrayal at Krondor, one of my favorite WRPGs of all time.

Tiger Punch Your Lights Out! - I haven't figured out how to play this thing, and I'm not sure if it even counts as a "video game" or is simply an electronic toy. I didn't have 4 C batteries laying around, until I remembered I had some in my Tandy cassette deck. Popped them out to test this device - it works! Honestly, one of the reasons I bought it was to see what CRTGAMER had to say. :lol:

Spent $4 total.

Good price. That Tiger Portable Handheld looks like a Simon style of game. I like it due to the obscurity, an out of the norm game play versus most handhelds. Definitely interesting, I'm guessing the large blue buttons are "Buzz In First" as in the Buzz Controllers?

Tiger made all kinds of portables, many that are unique. Take a look thru the Museum site linked in the Quote below.

Tiger Punch Your Lights Out (1988, LED, 4 C Batteries, Model# 7-571)

I couldn't help it, I love the name of this one. For 1 or 2 players, there are 3 different game variations each with 10, 20, or 30 rounds. The object is to punch out the number that corresponds to the scrolling number on your LED readout, or any combination of numbers that will equal to that number. The first to punch out all 12 lights wins.

2 boxes hyperscan systems. Plus two of every game pack for it. 2 controllers. 15$ at goodwill. Ok so I had no idea these things even existed. I had to look it up to know what the hell they were. Everything is boxed, so that's cool.

Hate to be that person but for overpaying on an item that you can return is bit over use of the term "rape". If I wanted to hear people over use rape I would be on 4chan or xbox live.

Paid 40.00 for this. What's not pictured is the other 7 disk drives, and two duffle bags full of power cords, connector wires, controllers, and rf switches. Pretty cool find. I don't do a lot of atari playing or collecting but thought these were cool pieces of history. They came from a local high school. They have the school name written on bottom of everything.

Been a while since I posted any of my finds, figured this was quirky enough to post.

Found this at a local Goodwill store today. I'm not sure why a keyboard caught my eye but upon inspection I recognized "Miracle" on it and knew what it was. It unfortunately didn't come with a cable or game, but I'm guessing was originally a PC or SEGA version as the nintendo seal in the top right corner is covered up by a music note symbol. It works even though the power adapter is from a Linksys router. :lol: Anyways, maybe I over paid, but I spent $19.99.
