IIRC, Crazy Climber EX and Judgement Silversword were some. Maybe Gunpey EX, too.
Got some stuff again. Hadn’t gone to the fleamarket in a few weeks. Two weeks ago it was too damn hot. Last week I woke up to a bad stomach ache and I didn’t feel like waking around. So today it was now or never. And yes it was damn hot. already by 9-10 Am it was close or past 100 degrees. So here’s what I picked up! I found a stack of PS2 games first, I picked up Carmen Sandiego, Airblade and Asterix. They were the best of the lot. The rest were all sports games. At $3.00 each, I guess they weren’t bad. After that I got for $7.00 CSI ps3, Touchmaster DS, Starwars clonewars/Tetris worlds combo and a Trance/techno cd. After this at another stall I got a rare PS1 analog controller! The lady also had a PS1 ASCII Arcade stick too and she wanted $10 for it, but I didn’t take it. I already have one and the controller was a better deal, I got that one for $4.00. I also got some toys! That whole baggie of McDonalds happymeal toys was $2.00 and a ninja statue for $1.00 wrapped and newish in its box. I’m most happy with the hamburger toys! They’re dinosaurs and robots! It brought back a lot of feels of my childhood. I think many 90’s kids had at least one of these in their toy box.
While still snooping around at the fleamarket I found more nice things! I got those PS1 games and demos all for $6.00. The lady selling them wanted $2.00 each but I convinced her to sell me the demos cheaper. It worked somewhat. I told her the games were demos and not full games and to sell them to me for less, but she said only the ones in paper cases. I got those for a dollar. Okay. I then found some more N64 games too. Both of those I got them for $3.00! And I also lucked out at another stall yet again! I got for $4.00 an atari 2600 wico trackball and a Playstation Eye! Now here’s the cool part. The day before at the other fleamarket I picked up that PS move controller from them for $3.00. I never posted about it because it was just one thing. But now today, I pretty much got the main part of the motion control set up. Finally the last thing I got before I ran out of money and had to head to work was a pair of SONY MDR-XB450 headphones. I was kinda excited to get one, as they looked pretty nice. A few scratches and scuffs here and there.As the guy was pricing it, I was hoping to get it for five. But in the end he said $8.00. I’ll risk it and take them home. But my luck didn’t do too good as I tried these when I got home. I only get sound out of one speaker. Damn. I’m guessing maybe a wire came loose in it? They still look nice and I still want to get them to work. I’m going to ask some people I know see if they can be fixed.

Agree, likely a tugged wire on the headphones. Try the plug end first, lop off an inch and solder in a new plug. This would be easier then risk damaging the ear piece ends if there is no easy way to disassemble.
Sweet finds on the PS1 Analog (check out the green light Flightstick mode) and the 2600 Trakball! Try the 2600 version of the Arcade Reactor with that Trakball. Metal Jesus would love the guitar riff when starting a game.
After a very long stretch of nothingness, I finally found some decent pickups at my favorite thrift store.
Dune 2000 G. Darius (sans manual. I'm so bummed, ya'll ) Machine Head Machine Hunter Mat Hoffman's Pro BMX NBA 2k Metroplis Street Racer World Series Baseball 2k2 Taz in Escape from Mars Cool Spot Street Fighter II: Special Championship Edition Marvel Land
-$1.50 each
So, basically some nice finds mixed in with some commons. But I did not have many of those commons, so to me, tis a find. Also, I hadn't heard of a couple of these before, so I'm looking forward to trying them out. Especially Marvel Land. That one looks interesting (and I'm hoping I can clean up the label.)
I also picked up a couple of game related soundtracks: Music Inspired by Final Fantasy and WoW: Mists of Pandaria. Unfortunately, I seem to have misplaced them, so you'll have to take my word that I found them and they only cost me $1 total
Not sure if this last one is considered a find, but Gamestop bummed the prices of their Skyward Sword figures down again, so I picked up this Scervo statue for $20 + tax:
They originally had it marked at around $150, which is way too much, but for $20 I figured he'd look nice next to the Link figure.
Yeah, it's a nice figure. But apparently not very popular, since the site is still listing quite a few around her locally. And if anyone wants one and sees it the store with a higher price tag, just know it should still ring up for $20, no matter what the sticker says. Mine had two old stickers on it, and it rang up just fine, so the price should be in the computer.
I played through Marvel Land (Talmit's Adventure this side of the pond) for the first time last year and found it to be far more enjoyable than it's very simple, basic and slippery gameplay would first suggest. Give it a go, it's super quirky
