It's been a decent couple of weeks for me.

Picked these up at thrift store #1 last weekend:

Image

These, along with several sports games, were placed in a shoebox behind a glass counter. Streets of rage, alas, has no manual, but the others are complete. This also now completes my Genesis Mortal Kombat collection. Not bad for $2 a pop.

Got these at thrift store #2 last weekend:

Image

I walked in and one of the regular workers waved at me before going "Oh!" and motioning me to follow her. They'd just put these, and a few other games, out. The only thing that doesn't have a manual is The World Ends With You, but I already have a copy, so this second one is for hocking purposes.

Between $1.50-$3 each


Walked in to thrift store #2 again today and found these sitting on a shelf:

Image

Hurray for things I have been looking for! I've been wanting A Boy and his Blob for a while now. It's in very nice shape, as are the other carts. I guess this means I can get rid of a couple of those extra copies of Super Mario World now.

$1.50 each

As I put my stuff on the counter, the same worker from the week before goes, "Oh, wait. Before I forget..." and pulls out a ziplock bag from behind some stuff near the window. (I would have never seen it if she hadn't said something. Let this be a lesson to everyone. Make friends with your thrift store workers.) And out of the bag she dumps an assortment of 10 or so Game Boy and Game Boy Advance games. They were good games for the most part. Most of them I already had (Metroid II, Kid Icarus, etc.), but a couple I did not:

Image

All right, so I have Zelda DX already. What can I say? When good games are $1 each I have a hard time saying no. Add another game to the "to hock later" pile.

I also picked up one other game, but I'm placing that in the "finds" thread, as I think it legitimately deserves a spot there.

Sealed Ultima Collection is a huge find! :shock:

I mean I thought it was a really good one but I haven't found a hard and fast price guide or anything, just that the eBay history was good ($50-120)

It's a great compilation too - Ultima 0-8 all on one disc.

You're not missing much by not having Ultima IX included. I owned the Ultima Collection once, but it got lost in a move. Shucks.

Figure I should finally update here after two months. May didn't have much anyway, but I will be definitely be adding to June before the month is out. GOG's sale padded the list this month significantly.

I also went back and added several GOG downloads to the January list. I don't remember exactly when I bought them and I forgot to record them, but it was some time early in the year, so on to January they go.

Looking over my list, I've picked up quite a few games this year. A healthy portion of them are digital, which I never really count as part of my "collection", but even without them the number is higher than normal for me.

I decided not to wait on Project X Zone like I previously planned. I don't want to go through the crap that I'm going through now for a cheap copy of Cave Story 3D. I got it yesterday, although I have yet to even open it.
