In addition to receiving my package from the Hoobastang sale, I also picked up the following today:

Resident Evil: Director's Cut Dual Shock Edition (PS1; CIB)
Ace Combat 4: Shattered Skies (PS2; CIB)
SOCOM II: U.S. Navy Seals (PS2; CIB)

At the place I found them, they would normally be $2, but since all thrift items were 1/2 off today, I grabbed them all for $1 each!

EDIT: Nice find, flojocabron! That is a really, really item, and you should definitely hang on to it!

haha, i was actually deciding between Ten Pin Alley, Tony Hawk 2, WWF Attitude, Triple Play 96 or Worm Armageddon as my last bundle piece.....and i end up with that result.

I'm so wanting that stick. Nice find!

This month is my last big hurrah as far as game purchases. I have to get back to some sound budgeting. I have a couple more packages coming this week then I'm done for a while. I also need to start trimming my collection down and getting rid of doubles/unwanted stuff before I move this summer.

Anyway, this week in auctions-
-Crash & the Boys Street Challenge (NES) cart & box $8 shipped. Already had the cart but wanted the box. Love me some Technos games.
NBA Jam T.E. (PS1) CIB $15 shipped. Love the game, just never crossed my path over the years.
Conker Live & Reloaded (Xbox) $40 shipped. Not as much fun as I remember.
Lot of NES games including Mighty Final Fight. $more than I should have spent but it was too hard to pass up. The label is pristine and the cart will look amazing once I clean it up. Most of the other games go into the trade pile. I have been trying to get my hands on more uncommon games for my NES collection lately. I still have my eye on a Jetsons Cogswell's Caper at a local comic shop. I can't ever seem to catch the owner to talk him down on a $61 price tag.

From the thrifts today...
Some weird Genesis controller $1.
2 first party Gamecube controllers $3 each.
Reality Quest "The Glove" N64 controller $10. I was going to pass on this but it's apparently fairly uncommon so I figured why not. It may be the most unpractical thing since the Sega Activator and I will never use it to play a game but it's certainly interesting.

RBI Baseball (NES) $3 to complete my empty box & manual.
Driver 2, Wild Thornberrys, Q-Bert, & Destruction Derby 2 (GH) all CIB for $2.50 each.
Finally, The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time (3DS) $20, CIB like new. I don't have a 3DS but my daughter does. She has no interest in it so it's going up for sale/trade. For $20, I took the chance knowing that she might not want it. I'm sure I can get that money back and then some.

I had that controller as a kid! I hired Toejam and Earl once with the turbo switch on for the button that shows the map and was very confused.

From memory it also has a slow motion switch that is actually just a turbo for the start button.

Yesterday I scored an N64 Bust a Move 2 cart & a GBA carrying case for $1.83 at a thrift store.

Did all right yesterday, got Ogre Battle for Snes, paid 60, over paid but got other stuff cheap so it was cool.

Grandi Extreme 8 bucks

Purple Gameboy color, with 6-7 games, highlight being a perfect copy of Pokemon Pikachu Edition and Blue. These were literally perfect, looked like someone took them from the box to a storage case and never touch them again. Save batteries work fine too. Paid 30 total for everything but was well worth it. Got the Nintendo brand AC pack too.
