On Friday I only hit about 10 sales, and this last sale I hit before going to go stand in line to get Dark Pit. It was the classic "Little Old Lady sale" I asked about games and the lady said her husband had a Sega. She goes in to ask him and she comes back out and says sorry it wasn't a Sega it was PS3. Then her husband comes out (a little old man) asking me if I was interested in PS3 games? I told him "sure, I'll take a Look" and he comes out with a box. I look inside and it's full of PS1 games and Strategy guides, there was a few PS2/PS3 games too. I pick out many games/guides and we agree to $25. I only had $10 on me so I had him bag it up and I was going to rush to the bank. But at the last second he said he had more, but he wasn't sure he wanted to sell them. He goes inside and brings out a stack of PS1 and PS2 games. He first shows me a bunch of Final Fantasy games but he said he was a huge fan of them and acted like he didn't want to sell them. Then I saw the stack of Suikoden Games.  :o I had to really offer a lot to get him to sell them, he agreed to sell the 5 games for $55. So I left to get the $80 and when I get back I hand him the money and was happy to get out with these games & guides.
- A Mario Paint Guide
PS1
- Beyond the Beyond (with guide)
- Wild Arms (with guide)
- Wild Arms 2 (with Guide)
- Dragon Valor
- Arc the Lad (Complete)
- Suikoden II (with Guide)  ;D
PS2
- Arc the Lad (with Guide)
- Suikoden III
- Suikoden IV (with Guide)
- Suikoden V (with Guide)  ;D
- Suikoden Tactics Guide
Now when I made this deal Suikoden Tactics was in this deal, I remember putting it in the bag before I left to get the money. But when I looked through the bag today, The Guide was there, but the game was missing. I looked everywhere, In the car, the house, you name it and it's nowhere to be found. I'm thinking he took it out of the bag when I got the money. (sigh) At least it was the cheapest of the Suikoden games that went missing.  :-\

After the move to my new house I kinda got outta the habit of doing the My 8-Bits. One of these nights I'll try and do them again.  ;)
The Nintendo Color TV Game is in the same group with the Pong Games. Because that's pretty much all it is. A Nintendo Brand Pong Clone that was only released in Japan. They made 3 Versions, a Color TV 6, Color TV 15 and the Color TV Block Kuzushi.

As a former Animal control officer, I find it amusing that the one game that got left in the car was the dog game.  :P

So my old Xbox 360 was starting to get worse. Sometimes I'd have to open and close the disc drive 20 times before it read any game. So I decided it was time for a new one. So I bought a Slim from a guy and it came with 8 games that I didn't have. 130€ for it all



And yesterday I went into a local video rental store and they sold some cheap games for 1€ each. I got five games which interested me and I wanted. Gears of War 2 is the limied edition one with an extra disc so it's ok to have no cover  ;D

Got this brand-new at the 99-Cent Store...no joke. Unfortunately, they didn't have the Sneak King one. (I once got a cards/slots XBox game there a few years back, too.)

Sneak King? I think my local US dollar store still has copies. You want one? I can get it for you for actual cost. :)

If I came across it for a dollar, I'd snatch it up. But I don't want it bad enough to pay for shipping, too. Thanks, though.
