Video Game "Look what I found"

[BoringSupreez]

@girlracer:
Nice finds overall, but why'd you buy a game like Billy and Mandy? That's the one turd in your haul. Also, had no idea there was a Target GBA. Kinda wish I had one; I like Target.

[Ack]

Maybe girlracer likes Billy and Mandy? Or maybe she realized that new copies of that game currently go for about a 1000% markup on the $3 that girlracer paid.

Got a loose copy of Mega Man Legends for $2. Has light scratches, just curious if its safe to resurface it, never did that with a PS1 game before.

Yes its just like a music CD, no hard coating like a BlueRay. There is a less intrusive method:

Thats quite a weird amount to find :S.


Anyhow, I went to a boot fair today. There wasn't a whole lot of game related stuff there, besides one or two PS2's and a lot of sports and shooting games for PS2, but I did manage to come away with a few nice pick-ups.


Sony Playstation w/ all wires and one controller £5
Crash Bandicoot (PS1) - £1 (had both crash bandicoot and crash bandicoot: wrath of cortex in the case!)

Resident Evil 4 (Gamecube) - £3

Commodore 64 w/ adapter, joystick & cassette loader
Final Fight CIB (Commodore 64)
Impossible Mission II (C64)
4-in-1 game cassette (all rubbish casino games)(C64)
All for £10

So not a bad haul for £19 imo. I do need to buy a video cable to test the commodore though. Does anyone know if the C64 uses the same video cable and adapter as the commodore Amiga 500? I have both, but I have no cables at all for the Amiga.

Edit: Did a little testing. The PS1 seems to be having some loading issues (games start loading, but very, very, very slowly), but the commodore 64 is working great . Unfortunately,the cassette reader is broken (it doesn't seem to be powering on, or at least the tape spindle won't rotate). Still, could be worse.

The deal of the day there was Transformers Revenge of the Fallen 360 New for $4.99 so I picked that up since it was cheap.

Then I popped over to The Source, they had some items on clearance so I got them
No More Heroes 2 Wii New: $9.99
Wii Classic Controller New: $4.99

Then lastly I went to the walmart there in this town and it seems no one buys games from there because I found something that's been off the shelves for a while. I have been looking for this game forever and was so excited to see it.
Metroid Prime Trilogy New: $60
It was full price so not much of a deal but considering how much it still goes for on ebay and to find this new in store was amazing! They had 3 copies but I just got the one. I might pick up the other 2 next time i'm back there.

Anyways, wow, I usually never find good deals but today was something special I'm content!

Edit: I forgot to mention the gamestop where I picked up all the used games, the manager there was awesome. He told me he doesn't accept any used games unless they're in very good condition and complete. Everything I bought came complete and all the discs are in perfect condition which was an absolute bonus. I told him i'd definitely be coming back more to that location.

Great deal locally, $27 after tax

Xbox KOF MIM
Xbox Silent Hill 2
2 for $10

SNES multitap w box
SFC Super Bomberman 4 (got the price taken down, the worker said it looked like someone took a shit in it)

I saw a Lethal Enforcers for Genesis with both guns pink and blue for $40, I was gonna get it but I didn't think it was that great of a deal. They also have an Xbox Steel Battalion controller for $150 with game lol.
