You know what I saw at my Goodwill? Doom. For the 32X. A couple of crappy sports titles too that I didn't care for to. Maybe some other time I'll go back and maybe they will have something decent. The Salvation Army store by me is pretty good though. I found Time Crisis with the booklet and back insert for a buck fifty. I also snagged two old Lupin III tapes and a green jacket to do a Lupin cosplay with for a few bucks too.
Green Jacket Lupin rocks, looks like somebody's going retro within retro.

Now I'm going to go watch Castle of Cagilostro. :arrow:

250. Also came with puzzle bobble and fatal fury 2. Not a huge fan of both of those so i probably would've tried to trade em.

I just remembered another deal I passed up. At Salvation Army I once saw X-Wing vs. Tie Fighter for $3, complete and in great condition. I didn't buy it because I didn't know if it was a good game or not.

I on the other hand did buy a copy of it when I saw one.

I fucking know man. It killed me to not pick that up. Like i said- the second dedicated arcade cab i've seen at that price. The first one, i wasn't quick enough because i didn't realize how good of a deal it was. This one because i might not be living on this coast come the new year.

I understand that feeling it was a bitch when I moved and that was just further down the coast from NJ to NC so I can't even begin to imagine what it'll be like if you go from east to west.

About a month ago, some dude on Craigslist was selling a brand new Xbox 360 120 GB Hard Drive (sealed) for $80. Even though it's not exactly the lowest price that I've seen for one (used), it is the lowest that I've seen for a brand new, sealed one.

I had the money but decide to pass for the moment. Now I'm kinda kicking myself because I'd probably be enjoying some Ikaruga, 1942: Joint Strike or Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 (all XBLA games) right about now. :(

Ah well. It was probably stolen.
