Re: Video Game "Look what I found"

Post by SonicGamer74 »

Went to a game store today, and got Dead or Alive Ultimate for Xbox for $8.54 ($3.95 for each disc (plus tax), without the little cardboard box). Also got a boxed copy of Mortal Kombat II for Genesis for free, due to a Buy 2 Get 1 Free deal on all games $7.95 or under (Mortal Kombat II was $1.95, so it ended up being the freebie).

What REALLY hurts, unfortunately, is that I found a boxed copy of Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse for Genesis, for $17.95, and skipped it altogether. Mainly because, for some reason, I thought it was a rip-off. Literally a couple hours later, I realized that I made a mistake, and that it was a SUPER good deal.

Ugh....I would've went back, but I was at a concert, and by the time it was done, the store was closed. Add to the fact that the store is 1 1/2 hours away from where I live, and you've got the biggest missed opportunity of a lifetime. :/

I know! It has a good bit of weight to it, which feels nice. It's almost as heavy as the Dedede Amiibo.

I think you're fine. Looks to be the going rate online.

Yeah, eighteen bucks is about the regular price range. Don't sweat it.

If you've never heard of this place, it's run by a guy who bought out a few warehouses of actual Atari stock in the late 1980s. Anything you order is real Atari manufacture. His print catalog is amazing and well worth the $10.00 dollars as a resource guide to anything Atari ever made. As far as the 7800 goes, pick up a couple of the European joypads along with your power cable. I bought a pair new a few years ago from him and they were only $15.00 each (shipped in an actual Atari box with sealed with Atari tape!)
So which controllers am I looking for here? I'd like to pick up a couple of the Euro 7800 controllers but none of them are labeled as such.

You want the CX-78 Dual Fire Joypad. Here's the link (item buried deep in the on-line catalog!)

bought some games from a guy I know on facebook.

He put up a post on a sales page and said that his PS3 died and his games were up for sale.

I met him earlier today before work and I got for $30 these two games

Under Defeat and Under Night In Birth

There may be a few more games I'll get from him, but for now I'll do fine with these.

Dang, flojocabron. You must've soiled your UNDERwear, when you saw a deal that good. :wink:
