I just picked up Blades of Time (PS3 version) out of Walmart's 'Cheap-ass games bin;D

Didn't see any sign of them buying and/or selling any used games yet, though...

How much was it?

tagged @ $4.99, but in a box marked as "$10 - $15"   :o

so...$4.99 -but- it may have been mis-marked; no questioning or complaining on my end  ;)

Hit a couple thrift shops on the way down to the retro game store and didn't really find much other than these PC ports of Sonic CD, Sonic R, and Sonic & Knuckles lol.  They are from 1999 and 2000, not sure if they even work, just thought they were kind of cool and they were only a buck because I think the cashier thought they were CD's lol



As for the good stuff, I bought this at the retro game store today.  Wind Waker strategy guide, Warioworld with strategy guide (Never played it, but it looks like it could be a fun 3D platformer, Jak X for my Jak & Daxter collection that I have, but don't know why as I really only just love the first one lol, and Red Faction 2 just to have as I got Red Faction cheap the other day.  Going real old, there's Talespin, a cartoon I love, but never played the game, and Chip & Dale, a real classic.  Also got a loose Zelda: Phantom Hourglass for the DS.  I've not played it before, but I needed it for my collection.  Just need Spirit Tracks and I think I technically have all main releases of Zelda.

Today I got Steel Harbinger (PS1) in the mail. Seemed like a pretty cool hidden gem of sorts. Yesterday, I picked up Deception IV.

As badly as I want Deception IV, I really want the first three on the PS1. I went on Ebay last night, and they have all gone up in price recently. Hopefully once the novelty of the fourth game wares off I'll be able to grab the first three for a better price.

You should still grab it. I'm the same way, but I figured there was no way I was letting IV slip away, so drove out to GameStop on day one and picked it up. I was told it was the only copy the store was sent, if that tells you anything.

I remember my best-friend bought that when it was brand-new. We really wanted to like it, because we didn't have many games on PS1, being that it was the new expensive system then. But I remember it being terrible.

I had no idea this was out. I used to own Tecmos Deception back in the day and loved it. I really wish I hadn't traded it in. Now im going to have go back and try to buy them all... Thanks for making me aware of them!

Meh, I go by gameplay videos on YouTube. Everyone can't be Twisted Metal or Crash Bandicoot, and lucky if they even achieve Wild 9 status. Doesn't mean they're bad. Try playing Big Rigs, every now and then it's good to ground yourself on what a terrible game is. As well, perspectives on games can change a lot from when you were a kid.

Just out of curiosity... Purely hypothetical... If a person bought a copy of The Guy Game for Xbox at a Goodwill for $4 would he/she be in possession of child pornography?  I'm just wondering... just in case I ever saw someone buy it... for a friend... or complete stranger that he/she could never find again.

Not bad at all!  :)

I'm on vacation now, posting from the hotel room.  We hit up a used game/movie/book/music store that's about 5 mins away from the hotel and I found some pretty good stuff - nothing earth-shattering, but I'm happy.  :)

Otogi 1&2 - $5 for 1, $10 for 2.  I'd say 1 is in good to very good condition, while 2 is in excellent condition.  Both complete.  I've been wanting to pick these up for a bit, so was happy to see them & thought those prices were fair.

Crimson Sea - $5.  In good-very good condition, also complete.  Another one I've been wanting to pick up.  Was unusual for m to get more Xbox games than anything else, but there ya go.  :P

Mark Ecco's Getting Up - PS2 version - had this back in the day, really enjoyed it (beat it at the time).  $5, in excellent condition and complete. 

Lunar - DS (cart only) - $4.  Forgot the full title of this one, but AFAIK there's only one Lunar for the DS.  Got it because it was Lunar & super cheap.

Also snagged some guides - Soul Calibur V CE (I think this is the only SC CE guide I was missing) - $5, Guild Wars 2 CE - $6, Alundra 2 - $3 (excellent price & great condition!), Dragon Quest Monsters 2 - $4.  I wish there were more places that sold used guides in my area.  This places prices were *generally* good - some seemed too high IMO (original Dragon Age, paperback regular ed., $17?  I know the CE is rare & somewhat sought after, but can't see paying that much for the standard ed...). 

I also picked up Lost In Blue at a local GS for $3, cart only.  This one wasn't available in my area, so was happy to see it too.  :)

After The Guy Game was released it was discovered that one of the topless girls was 17, not 18. So I think Turfs post is in reference to the fact that there was a 17 year old in the game showing her ta-ta's.
