Another $10 "box o' crap" from Computers for Kids yardsale. Red Baron, Elite, and Telewar II are Amiga, everything else is DOS. It was cool to find a boxed Soundblaster 16 and the ISA video card since I'd love to find a 486 game for PC gaming and those are good pieces for a build. Threw in a dusty Competition Pro joystick and NBA Live 97 because they looked sad sitting on the shelf

RED BARON!  I had Red Baron 3D way back when. It was the first game I ever played online. It was awful and laggy, but I was online!  I played the absolute shit out of that game and still sucked. It was fun at the time though.

Is Red Baron a sequel to Blue Max on Commodore 64? I ask because I noticed it was for Amiga, and of course the similar-themed named.

Blue Max was one of the most played games on the Commodore 64, for me.

I have never heard of the Power Pigg game but now I must own it!

I know right.  What the heck is that but now I'm curious to play it because of the artwork

The game itself looks exactly like the art work. Its a basic platformer.

It's a local indoor yardsale that is a charity to give computers for underprivileged kids. They have a lot of old computers and some software. I used to find a ton of old gaming and computer stuff like commodore, tandy coco, apple II, atari 8-bit and 16-bit computers, amigas. That kind of ended when the resellers started going there. They must think old pc software is worthless because it never gets touched.

It sucks they are getting the commodore, apple 2 stuff but other than that, you get some great finds there!     Keep it going.

No big purchase recently,  But I picked up Batter Up for Game Gear. It's kinda hard to find. eStarland wants to sell it for around $12. Which considering it is a sports game on Game Gear, is insanely high. Luckily found it for a couple of bucks.

Kind of a pick up, but I received my Game Gear video out boards from evilTim. I have now sent my Game Gear and the boards to a friend in the UK for installation. Kind of psyched to play Game Gear on TV and record footage.

@Flea: Nice pickup with the Gamester81 game.

I'm going into this with absolutely zero expectations. Looks like it might be a fun adventure game, and it's by Capcom. Apparently there was a sequel, too.

Anyone know anything about this one?

Guys, it's February.

I've split the topic starting from atarileaf's first post since he technically started February's finds. I'll mention my own finds later.

I played the demo years ago on the PSM demo disc. I enjoyed it and intended to buy it eventually, it and it's sequel are on my wishlist actually.

I can tell you that it's ostensibly part of the Ghosts n' Goblins series. I haven't played it though, so that's all I can really say

Nothing too exciting but I bought:
Crash of the Titans for the 360 for $3
Skate 2 on XBLA for $5
and I got Dead Island for having a Gold account on XBL
