Ducktales NES (now I have both 1 & 2

Jealous about DuckTales 2. That game is so hard to track down.

I had it as a kid, along with so many other NES classics that are hard to track down now. But my brother sold it all off for a Game Boy Color and a few games at GameStop when they still did retro-games back in the day. Wasn't very happy about it.

Only got the Halo 3 ODST Strategy Guide for 2 bucks today at the thrift store.  Nothing new put out game wise really, but hoping for something Saturday as I make my big thrift shop gauntlet run.

The $5 copy of Lord of Arcana for the PSP came in the mail today from Amazon.  Figured for that price I'd go ahead & add it to the collection.  Also got my new PS3 controller in, since my old one was starting to have some issues.

I picked up a sealed Diablo III CE Behind The Scenes DVD / BluRay for $3 thinking I could trade it.

... I paid about what it's worth. -_-;;

My wife got me a Retro Duo Portable. I think I'm going to like this little jewel. I don't think I'll use it traveling, but I might. I can see myself playing SNES games on this while she watches her shows on tv.

The NES attachment is silly. Not exaggerating at all, the top of the NES cart sticks out 6" above the screen. It's crazy big. I like it though. It feels good in my hand. The AC adapter could have plugged into a better place. It's on the side beside the d-pad. It makes it tough to play while charging.

Overall, for the little I've played it; I'm in. I like this little dude. I haven't tried to hook it up to a tv, but you can. It came with a little control port. I might have to give that a shot.

I love my RDP. The Retrogen adapter for it is great!

@burningdoom, I bought Ducktales 2 from a VG Collector here in the forums. My son and I played it and beat it the day it arrived. Good game! It actually took me longer to find Ducktales 1.

@theflea Zelda Collectors edition for $2 is an awesome score. I should hit up yard sales. I went to the local goodwill, but all I saw worth picking up was a DVD-R recording unit for $20. I picked it up because I can easily hook in my consoles via RCA and S-Video and record gameplay footage without a computer. Also it has hdmi out so I can s-video into the player, then up convert to 720p via hdmi out. Pretty cool since my HDTV itself does not support s-video.

I really had little interest in getting Fable III. But I actually found a better deal for Dark Souls in a bundle with Fable III than I could for the game alone. So why not?

So how do you like Fable II so far?

Garage sales in the middle of the week, AND you find that much stuff???     What kind of magical land do you live in?

Garage sales are the best place to go since usually the people don't recognize the value of the games. Thrifts however are becoming increasingly aware and are selling them through their websites or other places. Some actually check the internet and set prices that way instead of putting on a price tag. Otherwise, if you are looking for sports games they will give you 8 for $2.

It completely depends on your area - yard (garage) sales AND thrift stores are a bust in my town.  And someone having a sale on a Thurs. is unheard of - you might get a handful on a Friday.

Don't forget to go in the side neighborhoods too. Most people don't do that.
