Found the following at an estate sale this weekend.  Paid just under $40:



Some really great titles in there.  Gaiares, Sagaia, Batman & Robin, Bible Adventures, Sword of Vermillion, MK 1&2, Sonic 1-3, etc.  And I had been looking for Darksiders II for Wii U and snatched it here for $5. 

That makes a total of 4 Genesis systems I've acquired in just the past week.  I'm not sure the best way to start thinning out my stack of them (I have like 8 or 9 spares at this point).  They don't sell nearly as easily as Nintendo systems do; locally there's not much interest in Sega -- otherwise I'll have to start throwing them up on eBay or taking them to local game stores to cash them in.  Any other ideas?

Cool Spot is great too! I suck at this game, but it's pretty fun.

Heh, I hit an Estate sale this weekend myself.

No joy on the gaming front -but- there was a lot of really neat, Asian-themed items...

You guys ever put a game in your collection just because of the box art?  For example, I don't really collect for the Genesis so I don't know anything about these games, but looking at that pic I'd personally hang onto both Sword of Vermilion & Brutal just because of their artwork.

I cant comment on Brutal but Sword of Vermilion is worth playing anyhow. I enjoyed that game when it was first released. It was really unique and a cool RPG 16 bit title. Give it a go sometime. Its on the Genesis collection for the PS2 and on the VC for the Wii so its pretty cheap to get access to if you dont have a Genesis handy.

I have one of those "modern" Genesis systems that takes carts & the classic controllers but also has a ton of games built into it, so it may actually be built in there.  I also have the PS3 Genesis collection - dunno if it's on there or not either.  But if I ever come across actual Genesis games in the wild that look interesting at all I pick them up (assuming they're cheap, which they usually are).  Just doesn't seem to happen that often around here.

I've wanted to give Sword of Vermillion a shot since the early 90's when I saw it in EGM.  I didn't own a Genesis when I was younger though, so I never had the chance until now.

Hey guys! It's been ages since I've stopped by to say hi so I just wanted to drop in and say "Hello!"

I'm still plugging away on Sega CD and Sega Saturn full sets, but I've also picked up a new addiction....Metal Slug games on AES!!! Oh my gosh do I love them so! There's really no better definitive game of a genre than Metal Slug. So far I have Metal Slug, Metal Slug X, and Metal Slug 4. If you know of anyone selling MS 3 or MS 5 on AES, please contact me!

Other than that I've been playing lots of pinball and filling the rest of  my  time with....boring ol' work! ;)

I hope all you guys are doing well and I still sneak by from time to time to see everyone's goodies. Lot's of collectors here now compared to the old days.

Bye for now!

I'M ALWAYS LOOKING TO BUY COMPLETE COPIES OF SEGA CD AND SEGA SATURN GAMES, SO PLEASE CONTACT ME IF YOU HAVE ANY.

A nice find today, I mean, I've been waiting to find Mary Kate & Ashley Sweet 16: License to Drive FOREVER! So stoked for getting that at the thrift shop.



Oh and I guess I got Pokemon too, but whatever...MARY KATE & ASHLEY!

Some great titles there! I've been wanting Championship Pro-Am and Gaiares for a while, now.
