@Foxhack, those are a great pickup. I wonder how the seller ended up with that many though.

These sellers typically buy out warehouses, storage lockers, or pallets of stuff from Goodwill. So it could've come from either of the three.

I'll be trading some of them away here, no doubt.

Hopefully I've got something you want that I have.

Putting up my Xbox ESPN NFL 2K5 next to these past few entries is all I can do to lend some good comedy to this thread.

but a fantastic game. I was so addicted to it when it came out. I swear the online leagues are still better than anything EA has done.

Chrono Cross arrived today, factory sealed Greatest Hits copy. As soon as I'm done with Xenoblade Chronicles I think I'll be knocking this one out!

winch more valuable greatest hits version or the original version

Also, nice find on those Lunar maps Foxhack!

are lunar maps rare and expensive??

[scott]

I'm sure the original is worth more. But my intention was always to open it up and play it anyway. Plus I don't collect games as an investment.

To answer the first one, the original of anything imo is always better. And the lunar maps only come with the box set. Its just odd to imagine that many in one spot.

Nice!  I still need to get RS for myself - it was a fun game when I last played it.

Yep. To this day my favorite football game.

Picked up a few games today.

Bionic Commando: Elite Forces (GBC)
Advance Guardian Heros (GBA)
Rival Schools (PS1)
Einhander (PS1)

I'm pretty pumped about finding all of these CIB. I've wanted Rival Schools and Einhander for a while. Nice to find them in the wild as opposed to cheesing out with eBay.

[scott]

Einhander... I wanted that game so bad. But the ps1 era was still when I was too young to have enough money to buy anything on a whim.

Front Mission 3
Confidential Mission
Skies of Arcadia (missing disc 1)
$4

I saw a bunch of Dreamcast games at a booth and I already owned all of them, except Confidential Mission and Skies of Arcadia. I picked up Skies first, but was sad at not finding disc 1 in there. So I grabbed Confidential Mission, walked around the booth, and noticed Front Mission 3 just sitting there on top of a bunch of DVDs. I grabbed it, it looked fine, so I asked for a price and the seller said "$3". I asked if that was per game or for both... she said for both. I would've gladly paid $3 each but hey, I'm not complaining! I was about to leave but I asked about the Skies with the missing disc and the seller said I could have it for a buck. I'll try to track down disc 1 now.

[desocietas]

Nice.  Always easier to track down a disc than the original case/manual/artwork any day.

Here's a cool completely random pick-up.

I got Dragon Quest I & II, Dragon Quest III, Dragon Quest V and Dragon Quest VI all on Super Famicom.
