I also bought Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine (N64) for 6 dollars. It isn't complete and it has a Blockbuster sticker on the back but...it was only 6 dollars.

I also obtained a NES Advantage for $5. It was in really good condition too.

Yeah, good luck finding it without the sticker for a good price haha.

i didn't know it was that hard to find a clean cart, makes me wish i didn't sell mine a few months ago, i think i still have the complete manual.

If I'm not mistaken, Blockbuster only carts always have stickers on them, this makes finding clean carts without at least one sticker a challenge.

mine must have came from the lucasarts website bc it was pristine. the only other way to buy it.

Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and Daxter for PSP. Both complete and in perfect condition. 3 and 6 Euros respectively.
A cool looking and surprisingly heavy Famiclone (with damaged box) missing the power supply. 5 Euros. Any ideas what power supply I need?
Atari 7800 joystick for 1 euro. Needs cleaning.
Playstation (loose) for 5 euro. If it doesn't work I'll swap the case with a badly scratched working one I have.
Amiga CD32 with Mission Impossible 2025 and power supply. Seems to be working fine. Powers up, loads game on first try, playable with Genesis pad. How much did it cost me? A whole 5 Euros.

Oh my crap. That's sick!

Final Fantasy VII Guide - $2.00 Bookoff
An uncommon guide printed by Sandwich Islands Publishing in Hawaii. Unlike a lot of guides, there are nice large pics in this edition. Bookoff had the PS1 game FFVIII on the shelf for five bucks, but I already have it. Been on the hunt for the FFVII game, trying to get at a decent price.

Wii Nintendo Brand LAN Adaptor - $3.00 Bookoff
Probably never use it, but a great price. Gives me an option of a direct Ethernet connection.


PS2 Virtua Fighter 4 Evolution - $5.00 Bookoff - HDAdvance Compatible
Already have the Regular Virtua Fighter 4 release. A nice quick response to the Arcade stick, mash a button and get an instant punch or kick. A nice bonus of the original Virtual Fighter Arcade is included. Unusual that Evolution went straight to a Greatest Hits Label here in the U.S. instead of a black label initially as other countries. Included this in the PS2 Special Editions Guide

PS2 Scarface The World Is Yours - $9.99 Gamestop - HDloader With Patch Compatible
http://www.gamestop.com/ps2/games/scarface-the-world-is-yours-used/62160
Most Gamestops only had the disc, but I found two that had the complete game. One was a mangled black label with the bonus DVD, another location had a pristine Greatest Hits version. Usually Greatest Hits are the ones that carry extra stuff such as Silent Hill 2 and Virtua Fighter. Unsure about Scarface, so I snagged the red label and the sales associate let me keep the bonus DVD from the black label release. The bonus DVD has some great making of footage and coverage of the games release at E3 2006, amazing how much money was put into the display at the game convention.



I got the Bonus DVD from TEKTORO free a while ago, so the spare will be kept with the movie if I ever buy it. I already have the movie on Laser disc, will have to see if the Anniversary DVD is worth getting. The game included a preview of the movie at the opening loading screen. All I need now is to get the outer game case sleeve.



With the PPF Patch to the ISO the game loads with HDAdvance Modes 1 thru 3.

Scarface is a Grand Theft Auto style game with a unique FPS rage mode. Once you taunt the enemy enough hold Circle to go to FPS invincible rage mode and blast away the enemies. Back at third person mode, interesting how the aim is targeted. Walk sideways or away from a target, press the trigger and Tony Montana spins and shoots. As in Metal Gear, shoot around the corner while stuck to a wall. Man the voice acting really sounds like Al Pacino, even the walking stagger throwing the arm out when cursing. This alone makes the game worth while to play. "Say Hello To My Little Friend!"

Just an hour ago I was at the local game store. Dude working there said he had a box of "Genesis shit" he would sell for $25. I got:

- Model 1 Genesis, two Genesis controllers, one Master System controller, RF and AV cables, original power supply
- 32X with power supply and cables
- Virtua Racing game (for the 32X, cartridge only)

Not bad.

Worth the price for the 32X alone.

Got some CPS2 boards i've been searching for a bit. Powered Gear / Rockman 2 don't show up stateside too often, and shipping one of them from JP/EUR is like $35-50, so usually a dealbreaker even when they do pop up. Happened upon a guy on a UK forum who had them both, plus a good price on Vampire Hunter, so got all 3 shipped together for a real solid price. Top it off, (3) custom boxes w/spine labels, one marquee and all 3 had move strips...very pleased.

Went to a town wide garage sale and only came up with an original xbox for 5$, not bad I suppose. Also picked up a copy of Romance of the Three Kingdoms VIII for ps2 for only 3$, also a decent deal.

a complete copy of Carrier for the Dreamcast, the case is ok but the disc is minty, for 6 something out the door at Savers
