XBox Games Disc Pouch -$20.00
I scored big time! Normally I pass up on disc games that are not CIB, but I was on the hunt for a certain squirrel. Flipping thru revealed the game buried inside one of the sleeves towards the bottom. Knowing how expensive the game I spotted costs on EBay, I flipped the pages of discs back to the top.

CRTGAMER: "How much per game?"

Seller: "Selling the whole thing for forty bucks."

CRTGAMER (Keeping composure): "Well, it is an older system and there are no manuals."

Seller: "Okay twenty bucks."

CRTGAMER: "Would you go ten?"

Seller: "No."

The reason for the crazy low price? This seller was not a game trader, just had all kinds of stuff one finds at a typical garage sale. Maybe this was his son's who moved on to college? Lucky I did not piss him off, bought the entire package for only twenty dollars!

DS Action Reply PC Disc - Spare disc for my Action Replay

Weird the AR disc was in the pouch. This leads me to believe the original owner kept ALL the disc games in there. Okay with this many games, I guess I might finally relent and buy the original XBox. The large Duke controller a must when I get one.

Just ordered the XBox version of the SmartJoy Frag for PS/2 Mouse/Trakball and Keyboard gaming. REZ in the PS2 works beautiful with a Trakball, thinking of trying out Panzer Dragoon with this!

Nice to have both 007 and an older Splinter Cell in the collection. From reading up, one of these game saves are needed to soft mod the XBox in case I need to add a bigger drive or crack at HDD game installs. I'm spoiled by the speed convenience of the Fat PS2 with HDLoader, might just do the same with the XBox. Then there are emulators including Mame that can be hooked up to the HDCRT with component cables!

Damn CRT nice find! I visited my local thrift and after rummaging through music CD's I found:
All $5 each and CIB:

Parasite Eve
Wild Arms
Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain

Damn. All I managed to find today was Bushido Blade 2.

I mean, yay for me and all, but I would have much rather preferred to find Parasite Eve

Even DE lovers are usually of the opinion that DE Invisible War is crap.

This is actually a pretty great find. The PS2 Logitech wireless controllers are critical to the enjoyment of a PS2 system.

I'd kill for a ratio like that!

Yup and I own one before I got the other 3. The best decision I ever made as I am not a fan of wired controllers (mostly how big is my room).

Somehow I've been able to score all (most?) of the Sonic PC games @ Goodwill this year.

Lucky bastard :p

The rockland one started to suck... I should stop in once in a while. I've got some spare cash (not much though... just spent $150 on a new phone), and I've been wanting to get back into gaming, so yeah :p

Forgot if I posted this yet but picked up my first complete floppy disk game. Found SIM City 2000 CIB for $2 in the board game section at goodwill. About passed it up since I already own it on the PSone and digitally on the PC, but the box and inserts were to cool to pass up. Especially love the manual at 139 pages total it is pretty hefty and they have an awesome gallery in the back with a variety of cool stuff art, poetry, etc.
