Video Game "Look what I found"

[aaron]

Sorry, no pic, but I found a Dell Dimension 8xxx on the side of the road! I was on my way to work, so I couldn't look it over. I just threw it in my car and went on my way. But I had a good feeling that no components were pulled since the power cable and USB-PS/2 keyboard adapter was still plugged into the back.

I just had a chance to open the case. I wont know what kind of P4 it is until I boot it up, but it's not missing anything. Best part is, those Dells usually came with a shitty HDD, but this one has an 80GB WD drive. It definitely had to have been a replacement. Since PATA HDDs have become annoying to get, this is welcomed. Also, most people pull the HDD when they toss a computer, so I wasn't expecting to find it in there.

It's also an older mobo, so it doesn't have as many integrated components. It has a Sound Blaster and LAN PCI card, both of which I needed. I see "GeForce 2" on the video card, so that, the CPU and the RAM will just serve as good backups for me.

But yeah, I needed to eBay a sound card, a couple LAN cards, and a couple PATA HDDs. So finding a few for free on the side of the road was real nice!

holler at me with what you need, i can likely get it for you for real, real, real cheap.

Went on another road trip with jmbarnes101. I got 7 Sega Master System games for $10. They wanted $5.99 a game. Good times for all! Thanks Pawn America.

Pro Wrestling CIB
Action Fighter CB
Reggie Jackson Baseball CIB
The Ninja CB

Then went to a local semi local game store (next city over) and got 4 more Master System games for about $20 store credit that I got from selling some junk doubles and movies. This on wasn't the best deal I suppose but decent no less.

I picked up a few things from that trip as well. I spent about $24.

Fishing Resort Wii CIB
New Tetris N64 C
Pilotwings 64 N64 C
Animal Crossing: City Folk guide - Prima

Fun times and a really good looking red head with a personality at the game store didn't hurt either.

Fishing Resort is a good game. It's the go to fishing game on Wii; which is saying something - there are a lot of them.

You cant believe the awesome day I've had! Check out what I got!





Here are my normal finds of the day! Normal because its stuff that I acutally found and bought. Didn’t get a chance to go to the fleamarket this morning, but I did go to the thrift stores in El centro. The bigger town near me. And then Gamestop and lastly a quick trip to target. My first stop was salvation Army and for $3.00 I got some dvd movies and Tony Hawk’s American Ska8land game for GBA. Meh. I went to a place called Womenhaven Thrift store next and they still had some of those games I mentioned last week to a local facebook group I’m in. Plus I found a sealed Gameboy cart cleaner. I guess I’ll take them. I already scored some nice free things before that, (wait for my next post and see why!) So for $24.80 I took them. The games are: Spyro a new Beginning PS2, X-men Legends PS2, Pac-man World Rally PS2 and Transformers Revenge of the Fallen PS3. After that I went to gamestop. I had an online promo with my saved up points and I got Deadspace PS3 and Atelier Ayesha for $20 I saved $10 with a coupon! I then asked the guy if the store had any DS games with boxes, he did. He gave me all the spare boxes he had in the back! He said they didn’t neet them. Okay I’ll take them! Score! Now I can look for game only DS stuff! Lastly at Target, I got a limited edition steelbook copy of Thief Clearance for $9.99

But this means nothing compared to what I picked up first.











All that up there, didn't cost me a thing! You cant beat free! Have a look at what a great facebook friend gave me! She sent me a message this morning saying her spouse had games he didn’t care about having anymore. Found them in their house somewhere. She sent me a message saying if I wanted them. Of course I replied. I drove up to into town to meet her. I never expected the amazement when I saw and opened that box! I was freaking out in my car! So thank You my facebook friend! You made my day! (I wont post her name to keep her safe!).

So then As you can see in the pics the brown box was full of awesome gaming goodies! There’s a model one Genesis with a model one Sega CD. Along with some controllers and plugs for both consoles. I have yet to open it. maybe there’s another game inside? I also got a Power base converter too. Right along there is a TG-16 power plug too. But its stripped a bit, I can see wires. Oh well. Also there is a pretty beat up and dirty SNES. The controller is starting to get frayed and the power plug doesn’t look too good either. But the SNES has its tabs removed. So its ready to play some Superfamicom games.
Plus look at all those nice games that were gifted to me too! Got me some Sega and Nintendo product! Got a few sega CD, genesis and master system games! Sadly there was no games inside that Zillion 2 case and That sega cd case of Revenge of the Ninja. Time Gal was disc only too and its pretty scratched up. I think I’m going to ask a friend to buff it out.

Now other than Snatcher, I am really happy with the nintendo product I got! I think that Gyromite has the adapter in it. It feels heavier than normal! I also dont own some of those NES games.Glad to have them now. And I got some JPN games too! I now have a power rangers Famicom game! And look at those Super Fami games! Dragonball Z! Yu Yu Hakusho and Wanderers from Ys! I’m so happy for these easy gets today! And thanks once again to good friends and acquaintances!

There really are a lot of them and This like Kororinpa are two of the many hidden gems on this system. I've never actually seen a copy outside EBay so finding it and getting it for $11 was nice. It doesn't generally go anywhere near that price on EBay.

Oh, and great score Flojo. That's some awesome free stuff right there.

Poor guy girlfriends can be scary .

good score flojo!

I had no idea Fishing Resort had gone up so much. I got mine for like $5 at gamestop. I remember Amazon had it with the "rod" for $13.99 for awhile too. Doing $35...to $100 now? Crazy.

Insane find, Flojo. I am very jealous!
