Did a little bit of running around today and stopped by a used media store that I've given up on long ago. Did end up finding these for $2 each. Super happy about Darkstalkers 3!

Dino Crisis for $2 is a steal.

N64
This was probably the best find of the weekend. I went to a huge town wide garage sale. Someone advertised retro video games at one of them so I hit there first, I get to the address and it's a Flea Market. I ask the lady and was told he hasn't shown up yet but he has a ton of games and I need to come back. I had a strange feeling I knew who this person was and sure enough I come back and its the guy I see at Flea Markets all the time. I look through his stuff all at high Ebay prices and just leave. This town was about 20 miles away from where I live and thought what a waste and one of the first sales I hit I ask about games and She said I think I have a N64. I wait a while and she brings out a Jungle Green N64 with 11 games then before I can ask price she says. I still have the box for it. I told her yes please I'd love to see the box and she brings out the box full of game boxes and manuals. I asked price and she didn't know and asked what would I want to pay. I thought I'd start low and say $20. And she acted like I offered $200 for it all, She was so happy to take the $20. (damn maybe I should have started with $10.) lol Here's the list of games.
- NBA In The Zone '98
- NFL QB Club 2000
- NFL QB Club 2001
- Glover
- Scooby-Doo (CIB)

Oh geez, posting right after flea, such a pitiful pile, oh god...

 

Nah, just a quick run to the flea markets today since I haven't been there in a couple months.  Found some cool stuff I would've liked such as some classic era TMNT vehicles and Mighty Morphin Power Ranger figures, but I'm trying to just do stuff I can get good deals on to save money, so all I managed to find was Sonic Spinball inside of a Sonic 1 case, though the case has all the extra paperwork inside. 3 bucks for that.  And a Dreamcast game I've never heard of that is sealed, and says used on the back despite it very clearly being properly sealed with like the folds on it.  Though it is cracked.  2 bucks for "Evolution: The World of Sacred Device".  Seems to be like some sort of action rpg dungeon crawler.  Never heard of it before.

[retroone]

I found Dream Trigger 3D in a Target bargain bin for $5! I remember seeing it all the time in Nintendo Power as a launch title for the 3DS. I haven't played it yet but I plan on getting around to it this week .

[pacpix]

Went game shopping for the first time in months and picked these up.  I also passed 500 physical games in my collection! 
Picked up Battletoads at a thrift shop.  The Atari games, NES cart, and SNES controller came from Play n Trade.  I purchased the 3DS game and PS3 games from gamestop. 

I also ran across a Pac-Man stressball when buying supplies for my dorm room.  The packaging was destroyed and he was laying discarded on the sale rack.    My major weakness is Pac-Man merchandise so I could not leave him alone and abandoned.

Arc the Lad End of Darkness (complete and like new)

Arc the Land: End of Darkness is such a disappointment. It's like the creators of the Arc series thought to themselves, "Hmm...how can we royally **** up this great series and kill it completely?" If you do every play it, proceed with caution.

LOL...thanks for the heads-up.  With everything going on in my life right now, I barely have time to find the stuff and catalog it.  I got it because I have the other Arc the Lad games, but even the box art is pretty much ass.

August 10, 2015 Update     New stuff added in the updated list is bold.  Hit a lot of big scores on Saturday!

gf,

Maybe you should only post the new stuff when you post your full list. I mean its only august 10th and you're just posting an ever growing list of games with only a few being new each post?

[gf78]

gf,

Done.  I was bouncing the idea around which would be easier to look at when all is said and done to get the "full picture" of what I ended up hoarding up.  But this works just fine as well.  Thanks for the input tafk.

[maximo310]

Yeah, I agree with tafk that it might be easier to only list new games for the sake of space.

Front Mission 3 (complete with a few tiny dings in the booklet)

If you like Front Mission 3, then you should pick up Front Mission 2 if you have a modded/jp ps1. FM2 is a step-up in FM3 in every way, although the only downside is long loading times. Still, 40% of the text is in English and its playable without needing translations, although there is a translated story script you can get if you want to understand what's going on. It's pretty cheap too, around $10-20 bucks and its a great game.
