Video Game "Look what I found"

[Aar1012]

Just need to magic a manual for MGS into my hands, somehow.

I was about to mention how happy I was that 16/17 year old me had the foresight to keep the manual and inserts for Twin Snakes....then I actually checked the case and realized that they're gone

Damnit, all. I swear I left a gold mine of video game stuff at the house I grew up in!

I know it's not technically a video game purchase, but I'll be picking up a Sony Trinitron later today so that I can finally play my Genesis games without them looking like utter garbage. I'll probably be hooking up my PS2 to it as well.

The joystick is an Epyx 500XJ for SMS and has microswitches and I got it for $1. It joins my C64 one.

Very nice! I have two of the C64/2600 versions, love the tactical clicks and the light spings inside. The Epyx is so much more comfortable in control versus other joysticks of the era. Never seen a Genesis version, I have been keeping an eye out for the NES model.

For $25($3 a piece) I got:

Pitfall the Lost Expedition(Xbox)
Guilty Gear X2 Reload(Xbox) *disc only*
The Suffering(PS2)
Champions of Norrath(Ps2)
TMNT(PS2)
Animal Crossing(GC) *missing manual*

and the crown jewel .Hack Mutation(PS2) *disc only but in good shape*. Still need parts 3 & 4 and would like to get them all complete, but am excited to finally bump into a .hack game in the wild .

Also picked up a loose copy of Half Life 2 in the deal but realized it was to far gone to repair when I got home. Was inspecting it a little closer and noticed a central crack had made it all the way to the read area .

Three bucks apiece for the CIBs, especially for Champions Norrath nice finds!

The .hack games will get you collecter frenzy, they also come with a bonus DVD each.

That GC Animal Crossing is even harder to get to CIB, has a ton of extras including various flyers, stickers and the memory card with a startup game save. Still a good price, congrats!

Maybe post only after you have it so you can include the Find story and maybe a mini review of the TV?

As an owner of two HD CRT Wegas, always love reading about another Sony CRT owner. My Avatar Name gives my preference of gaming screen.

Model number, size and cost? Where did you find it?

Really wanting to get all the .Hack games CIB for the DVDs but really it isn't necessary since I can stream the videos online. However the collector side of me is itching to get a CIB copy.

Might start a new play through once I get ahold of part 3. Part 4 on the other hand is going to have to wait its a little to pricey for me to justify since $70-$90 would be 25+ games at the Pawn which I hit on a daily basis.

Might go back tonight to make sure they didn't put out any more pieces of the series since it is odd to just stumble across part 2 by itself.

I got .hack 1-4 several years ago. Still need a double-DVD case for part four, mine's in a regular DVD case and the anime is housed separately.

They are pricey now, but I think the GU games are even more expensive.

I never felt motivated to actually play any of these games beyond Infection though, I must say...

yeah i was always shocked that these jumped so high in value. they struck me as really, really mediocre games. i had more fun with Jade Cocoon 2, Arc the Lad: Twilight of the Spirits and Legaia 2, and those pretty sucked.

Welcome to the club. SD Trinitrons make great light gun tvs.

Even though the combat and levels were pretty grindy I really liked the game when I was younger. However I never got around to beating it till a year or two ago and by then the prices had skyrocketed .

I think the main things that drew me to the game was the vast amount of randomized levels, the party ai, the loot, and the story.

I like .hack and its concept but I have the same problem, it starts to really wear out after a while.

I need to stop browsing thrift stores, I'm running out of room for CIB systems.
