[storino03]

Decent finds. I like PD games ^_^

Wii Bust A Move Bash - $4.99 $4.49 Gamestop
This comes with the more uncommon matched to cover rainbow label disc. My only disappointment is the crippled Classic Controller support, in my case an Arcade Stick which only works in multiplayer mode for players 5 thru 8. However, the Wimote changed from default to the better "pointer" control option emulates a spinner reasonably well for precise turning of the ball launcher. Throw in the eight player at once on the same screen makes this actually a decent part game. Though scoffed by some, I like the shoot mode that emulates Space Invaders mother ships hovering by. I confirmed that my "Rainbow" disc and the more common orange disc has the same results in the control options.

Wii Endless Ocean Blue World - 12.88 $6.44 Big Lots
Another brand new sealed game deal at the half off sale at Big Lots. Just a cruise in the ocean without becoming shark bait.

Wii Furu Furu Park - $0.99 $0.89 - Gamestop
For a used game, very crisp shiny condition! I have been avoiding this game because of all the negative reviews of single level quick plays, but I really wanted to see how Arkanoid's latest incarnation on a Nintendo fares with the Wiimote as a spinner compared to the NES Arkanoid Spinner. Not nearly the quick response and then there are a few other worthwhile repeat play mini games buried in the disc. I am really hoping for a mystery Easter egg unlock to maybe discover additional levels?

Wii uDraw Penguin of Madagascar - $1.99 New Gamestop
Well if you consider the seal broke as still new, but for a couple bucks for shiny CIB oh why not? I have covered the uDraw extensively in my Wii Gamecube Thread, only have a couple more games to obtain the complete Wii uDraw library. Really there are a couple games worth checking out with the different style of control.

Xbox Memory Card - $1.00 Swap Meet
Oh could not pass this up and now own two! So what is the point when the Xbox has a dedicated internal hard drive for game saves? For ease of transferring game saves to another chip modded Xbox which I have added a large hard drive. I don't want to mess with cables, just a couple passes with reliable memory transfer.

Xbox Hard Drive Upgrade Guide is being worked on!
Can now run a full version of a demo on this disc and no, its not just Conker!



GBA Rayman 10th Anniversary - $4.99 PlaynTrade
GBA R-Type III - $4.99 PlaynTrade
I keep finding more games buried in the bottom of the goodie bag; games waiting for their mug shot before posting in this Thread. Both decent games and work equaly well in a portable.

PS2 NTSCJ Dead Or Alive 2 Hard*Core - $15.00 BookOff
I'm not sure if I had posted these two PS2 games, they still have the prices and the PD COPY writing on them. I have found about four or five PS2 NTSCJ games with that same writing at BookOff, maybe a prerelease to a Japanese Magazine Editor?

PUBLIC DOMAIN Copy?

PRE DEMO Copy?

Easily cleaned off after the photo shoot with LiftOff2, I am curious what that writing is about though.

The Dead Or Alive 2 Hard*Core edition is probably one of the more expensive games I have bought at BookOff, most usually cost only five bucks. The * in the title signifies that this is the most expansive Dead Alive 2 edition to be released on the PS2 and of course is HDAdvance compatible!

Look in the sub menu for the age setting, things really bounce when one gets old!

In the final analysis, even considering the visual presentation issues of the PS2, the Japanese version of "DOA2: Hardcore" appears to be the definitive variation of the game, simply because it has so much extra stuff in it.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_or_Alive_2

Tecmo also followed up on the release of DOA2: Hardcore in the USA and Europe with the release of DOA2: Hard*Core in Japan. This last version saw some minor updates, including new cut scenes, a few new costumes, and a new turbo speed option. As a result, 11 different versions of DOA2 were released; the first two were for the arcade market and the others were home versions. The Dreamcast version has been updated two times, first for the European market with new stages, costumes and cut scenes, and the second time for the Japanese market with a Limited Edition featuring two new playable characters, two new stages, stage multipart extensions, new costumes, new cut scenes and the "Gallery" option was introduced. This edition was later updated with eight new stages, some new costumes and extra gallery artworks and released as Hardcore edition on the PlayStation 2. The new release extended the success of DOA2 in North America and Western Europe, and Dead or Alive became Tecmo's flagship series.

The first PlayStation 2 versions for North America, Europe and Japan were updates of the Dreamcast editions, with a few new cut scenes, costumes and stages added on each localization. Comparing the first and the last home versions of DOA2, namely the Dreamcast American edition and the Japanese Hard*Core edition, shows many improvements including an enhanced gameplay and a doubled number of stages and costumes. Even with all the changes, Itagaki was still not happy with Hardcore. He is quoted as saying in the DOA 3 booster disc video, "They wanted a launch title in 3 months. I needed 4."

PS2 Momotaro? - $5.00 BookOff
Another "PD COPY" and also pristine CIB inside. I think this is part of the quirky Momaotaro Board party games, but not positive. Any of our Japanese reading Members can enlighten me on this game?

Wii Pikmin 2 Sealed New - $19.99 Retail Store
This game came out in the US as Selects only, how many let this slip by when it was on the shelves? Now getting quite expensive to find used let alone brand new. Well, I found one store that still has not one or two, but FIFTEEN FOURTEEN (Bought one) SEALED COPIES selling at the standard Selects Price. Not posting the store in this Thread, but you can PM me for the secret location. Please, no resellers! Let all our members get a crack at this.

I love your posts CRT! Curious, I don't quite understand what you're talking about with your XBOX post. Are you working on a guide for upgrading the HDD? Also, what do you mean about running a "full version" of a demo? Maybe I'm just trying to get more out of what you said than what you were going for? Either way though, let me know more! LOL.

And as for your second quoted post here, you sir are a gentleman and a scholar. That is the single most awesome thing that I've read anyone say on this board. To hell with the re-sellers! If this board supported +rep or anything like that, I'd send you all I could this very second. Glad to know that I'm not the only one who feels this way, and although I seem to get chastised every time I bring it up here, I'm still going to feel this way until the day I die. There is a special place in hell for re-sellers.......

Says 'Gacha-Roku.' Title makes me think it's a board game with gachapon-esque player pieces, as it appears to be a portmanteau of 'gachapon' (capsule toys) and 'sugoroku' (board games).

I know nothing else about it, but I wouldn't think it's part of the Momotaro Dentetsu series, as it appears to be by SCEI.

Just when I thought I would never find a good deal on CL again...

A listing for a sega genesis with all of these games- $25. Turns out, she lives less than half a mile from my house. Cords, controllers, everything- I feel so dang lucky

nice haul! i always get real nostalgic when i see the "Game Players Ultimate" logo on the EWJ box.

You make me want to check out CL but some of that site seems way shadier than ebay ever is...

Don't bother. Charlotte Craigslist is terrible now, and I have not found games on there in years. The other day a seller scoffed when I made a very generous $25 offer on five 2600 games (Beefsteak Tomatoes, Pole Positn, Strawberry Shotcake, Yar's Revenge (Sears), and Mario Bros. (7800)). Each of the games could be purchased - individually and shipped - for only slightly more than my offer, but the seller still took offense that I would offer such a paltry sum...

Well a lot of people want to make a quick buck and don't want to lose any sometimes to make a deal sometimes or understand the ways of bundling things *sigh*

Great haul Gooseberry, that's what I'm talkin about. I cannot frickin' find the original James Pond anywhere.

As for Craigslist, I almost never see old games on there anymore. There are guys that post every day "I WANT YOUR OLD VIDEO GAMES!!!" so I don't know if people are responding to those or what but all of a sudden there are no cart-based games on Craigslist around here.
