The other day, I stopped at a Family Dollar store that was going out of business. I found:

Lux-Pain (DS; CIB) - $1.50
Max & The Magic Marker (DS; CIB) - $1.50

I didn't know anythign about these games when I purchased them, but for $1.50 each, I couldn't resist. After doing a bit of research, Max & The Magic Marker was added to my collection, and Lux-Pain will be going in the trade pile.

If that's the same Max as came to Windows Phone, it's actually quite good little game with a fun gimmick. Also, its sequel for Xbox One was quite good.

Pretty interesting find. I have it on the SNES so It will neat to see how the gameplay differs. This is also the first time I've ever found a Sega Saturn game at goodwill.

All I can say is check the CD racks!!


Earthworm Jim 2 on the Sega Saturn is by far the best version of the game, it is gorgeous and blows the SNES and Genesis versions out of the water.

Holy Hell you aren't kidding on this. Just fired it up right now. Sound quality and graphics are top notch! I literally got goose bumps haha.

I'd say that EWJ 2 Saturn is probably even better than the PC version, awesome game though I still prefer the first game on the Genesis, those Bouncing puppy stages in EWJ2 are a pain in the ass.

I do my game hunting before and after work. I hit up my local flemarket in the morning, and I picked up A dusty (but hopefully working) intellivision in its beat up box for $10.00, A ps2 memory card for $3.00 An original gameboy for $5.00 and a dirty looking original GBA for $3.00 as well. It doesn't look too bad from the picture, but the other side is quite icky. I took it to a friend that knows how to fix them. I wanted to sell him the gameboy but I guess he didn't need extra ones. He has some already. So its a bust on that! Hopefully I get better news on the GBA.

After work I went to gamestop and I finally redeemed my b2g1 coupon and I got Some more expensive games to take advantage of the deal. I got The calling Wii, Kirby Triple Deluxe 3DS and Tears To Tiara 2 PS3 with artbook for $61.50 Not bad I say.

Please update me, I was under the impression most of these carts were around $5 retail and you can find them for $1 in pawn stores or bundled online

These were included:

Super Smash Bros
Mario Kart 64
The second Castlevania game

Those are not inexpensive by any means.

Not anymore. Many N64 games have really gone up. I sold Super Smash Bros. in an eBay auction recently for $53.
