Well, I guess Ill add my little pick up. I scored a couple of games for a pretty good price and a bonus for myself. The two games were DW IV and Suikoden II. I bought these specifically cause I had trades in mind for them. DW IV is going to pay off what I owe on Mighty final fight and Suikoden II is going to be traded straight up to finally get my Rescue rangers 2. :)
And I bought http://vgcollect.com/item/30603. Its still brand new in the box! :)

Yeah its so strange to get used to. I had one when I had my original master system and it was pretty cool however. I figured for the price and the condition it was a no brainer. Its going to look good with my master system set up once its done.

Last week I was on vacation visiting my best friend from college out in Denver, so I hit up a few game stores while out there. Prices were a little high so all I actually bought was:
NES: Top Players Tennis (boxed) Beetlejuice
And my wife bought me Donka Konga :D The store I went to was called Game Force, and they had a lot of great retro stuff including lots of obscure things like TG16, Lynx and some imports. Very cool store.
In addition, my buddy had a few old game items he didn't mind donating to me: Dr. Mario (box and inserts) Super Game Boy instruction manual Super Mario All Stars instruction manual Mario Gamecube bobblehead CIB. Looks like this: (http://i.ebayimg.com/t/2002-Limited-Edition-Mario-6-Bobblehead-Doll-Nintendo-Gamecube-NIB-COA-/00/s/MTYwMFgxMjAw/z/FFMAAMXQySpRQ7Am/$T2eC16NHJHQE9nzE)jdZBRQ7!l4I(g~~60_35.JPG)

Last week I was on vacation visiting my best friend from college out in Denver, so I hit up a few game stores while out there. Prices were a little high so all I actually bought was:
Man, if you make it back out there, take a little trip out to Boulder. There is a game store called Game Force Boulder on 31st and baseline that is amazing. That used to be my go to spot in college. Slice of pizza at Cosmos and games at Game Force. There's a youtube channel called Game Sack that talks about it as well. Because it is next to UC-Boulder it gets mountains of good games from kids who bring their collections and then sell them off for beer money. Very fair prices. Boxes of imports. One of the best stores ever.

I had the day off, so decided to go out for lunch and swing by Movie Trading Company. They were having a buy 2 get 1 free deal. Picked up the following
Sega CD _________________ heimdall
Genesis __________________ Shadowrun General Chaos Gain Ground
Dreamcast ___________________ Ready 2 Rumble Boxing Bust a Move 4
Most of these games have been things I have been looking for. When I saw them with their cases, I couldn't resist. Ready 2 Rumble is always around, but it is a game I had ages ago and actually have good memories of. From what I understand, I will need the nostalgia goggles for it though.

Just left a garage sale w/ 5 items for a total of $15.00 -ALSO- learned my lesson about just quickly glancing @ what I'm buying xD
1. Red Faction -PC- strat guide/sealed (thought it was for a different platform),
2. Doom II (PC) (Also sealed) - thought it was/looked like a PS1 game :o
3. System Shock 2 (PC) - Like new/c.i.b. (same as above/thought it was for PS1),
4. Hitman 2: Silent Assassin (PS2) -Like new/cib - at least I knew what I was getting w/ the PS2 games :-[
Not a pc gamer, at all...anyone know if the PC games/guide are worth anything?
Oh well, odds are in my favor since (at most) I lost $15 :P

Are Doom II and System Shock 2 big box releases? If they're discs in jewel cases then they're not worth that much. System Shock 2's price tanked since GOG released it earlier this year.
As for my finds:
Countdown Vampires (PS1) - $1. What is this? I only grabbed it 'cause it was a buck.

Home after hitting some garage sales, but some @$$hole is now placing fake Garage Sale adds on Craigslist. Last week a sale advertising Video games of all kinds was on craigslist and the address didn't exist, the house numbers ended right before the address of the sale. So today a sale popped listing NES, SNES, Gamecube and Wii with tons of games. along with a ton of other stuff supposedly at this sale.
Well I got there early and saw it was a house that was for sale and looked empty. I figured They might be moving out/in so I waited, many other people started to show up for many of the other things listed in this sale. So the time came when it was supposed to open and nothing, I rang the doorbell and nothing. So many of the people there waited another 20-30 minutes and still nothing. I thought it was funny that none of the big resellers showed up, I've waited at many sales in the past and as I wait the resellers always show up. This time they didn't. (suspicious don't you think?) So we all left and I came back and hour later and nothing, came back another two hours later and still nothing. This is beyond low even for them. Now they gotta cheat by distracting us with fake garage sales. Did I ever mention I hate resellers? >:(
So what do you guys think, What would you do?
Well after that BS, I hit many random sales and only found a few things.
SNES - Super Empire Strikes Back ($2) PSP - Sega Genesis Collection ($4) NDS - Puzzle Quest Galactrix ($4)
Tomorrow I'm doing a huge trade and getting an extremely rare game added to my collection. ;D

Went to Traders Village in the Metroplex. Found some good deals:
Dreamcast (bundled for $20): ____________________________ Sega Smash pack Ms Pac Man Maze Madness Tomb Raider Last Revelation Vigilante 8: Second Offense
XBox Bundle ($35): ____________________________ XBox System Controller S Just Cause Chase Hollywood Stunt Driver Tony Hawk American Wasteland Leisure Suit Larry Playboy Mansion Outlaw Tennis Pure Pinball Links 2004 XBox Music Maker CSI The Davinci Code Tiger Woods 2004 World Championship Pool 2004 All Star Baseball 2003
Most of these games I would not purchase outside of the bundle. But they were mega cheap. I picked up a backup XBox, which is good because I want to try modding one. Overall I was happy with the deal. I made some decent savings with the Dreamcast bundle, but nothing spectacular.

I went to a family reunion this weekend. My aunt knows I'm a big gamer, and she just walks up to me with a plastic bag full of games and goes, "Here, you can have these." How awesome is that? I asked her why she was getting rid of them, and she tells me that they don't touch them anymore because they play XBox 360 games now. I tried to tell her she could trade them in for XBox 360 games, but apparantly she only wants to buy games brand-new. So score for me!
What I got:
PS1: -Driver 2 -Fear Effect -N2O: Nitrous Oxide -The Next Tetris -Nightmare Creatures -Parasite Eve II -Top Gun: Fire At Will!
PS2: -Grand Theft Auto III -Killzone -Rebel Raiders: Operation Nighthawk -And a stack of PlayStation Magazine demo discs

... that sounded dirty. It's actually a TV / video capture device for Macs and PCs. Macs get the cool software while PCs only get display drivers. I haven't tested it, but hopefully this will be a lot less cumbersome than my old Gamebridges. It cost me $5, complete in box.

Got a few things in the mail. Including a new classic console.
I got a Japanese Saturn Game. I just thought the idea of this game was funny. - Yakyuken Special
Then I picked up a rare game system a Tomy Tutor. (http://www.retrogamingtimes.com/rtm48/index_files/TomyTutor-Jungler01.jpg) It came with 10 games, set of controllers, a Joystick and the Data Recorder. Games included. - Car-azy Racer - Cave Crawlers - Deep Six - Hyperspace - Jungler - Loco Motion - Pooyan - Scramble - Torpedo Terror - Traffic Jam This is a complete set, Tomy Tutor only released 10 games in the states. I also find it funny that the carts fit into a TI99 perfectly but don't run. :P
One more system off my list of missing consoles, Only missing 8 consoles & 3 handhelds (not counting variations)

Picked up a teal Gameboy Color with some games this weekend. I also grabbed Soul Calibur IV, which I've been waiting to pick up when I could find it cheap.
Yesterday I got a good deal at Goodwill on: Hulk Ultimate Destruction (XBox) Bubsy (GEN) CIB Tom & Jerry (GEN) CIB
It was bittersweet though; I found a fat PS3 for $50, but it was missing the hard drive, controller, cords and it had the yellow light issue. I put it back and then found a Sega CD model 2 for $15, but found that it had a bad laser :( I've been burned on broken items at that Goodwill at least twice already, so I'm being very careful of systems I find there.

Going to mention what I got lucky with so far. Finally scored my RR2 cart. Probably one of the nicest looking of all my NES carts too. Even trade for an extra Suikoden II CIB. Scored a pretty flawless copy of Princess tomato. Got the case/box for Castle of Illusion (SMS) for $15. Its normally about 5 times that. Got a sealed Jp Wii Dragon warrior 25th anniversary collection (the one with the mini medal) and an unopened pack of DQ pencils (for playing pencils). And finally got 14 SMS CIBs to bump up my future complete SMS collection. I got one more item on the way (hopefully its as good as it sounded).

I'm glad you made it there. TipTopJames runs a great store and is a joy to chat with.
I went by FXGameExchange and found a bin of $1 Game Gear games. I found 7 that I did not have. This brings my Game Gear collection to exactly 100 games! I also found Cadillacs and Dinosaurs for SEGA CD. I was really excited about that. What zombies are now, Dinosaurs were in the mid 90s. This game wins me over for the retro campy value alone.

Black Belt is a neat game. It's not necessarily the funnest game. But I like the history of it. I thought it was just a cheap SEGA version of Kung Fu. After all, it is a very generic title. But it is actually a reskin of a Fist of the North Star (Hakuto No Ken) game. We just would not have got the reference here. But this also explains the reason why every one explodes when you hit them once. It had a sequel on the Genesis that had a similar resin and title change, "Last Battle". Last Battle also received a censoring by having the enemy sprites awkwardly fly off the screen instead of exploding in a bloody mess.

Fallout New Vegas: Lonesome Road DLC ($1.24) Fallout New Vegas: Gun Runners' Arsenal ($0.49) Fallout New Vegas: Courier's Stash ($0.24) Sanctum Map Pack 2 ($1.24) Torchlight II ($3.75, I hosted a 4 pack.) Indie Puzzle Pack ($2.50, has Chains, Gumboy - Crazy Adventures, Obulis and Vigil: Blood Bitterness)
So, not bad. :P
I also received three FREE games from the GameTZ freebie forum over the week, all complete and in excellent shape: The King of Fighters '99 (PS1) Samurai Shodown III: Blades of Blood (PS1) WWE All Stars (PS2)

Sigh.
I didn't want to do this, but I just bought The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena at GOG (along with Darklands.) I own the game on Steam but apparently the Tages activation server for the game rarely works, and Valve doesn't give refunds for crappy DRM, so I had to pay to buy it again.
It sucks. I got the game as a gift a few years back. What a fucking waste.
I also traded for Ys 1 + 2 Chronicles. I technically lost a dollar on the trade, but I thought I'd be nice for once.
And a pal gifted me Castle Crashers as part of a 4 pack.

And the game is pretty darn good so far too, I'm enjoying it.
I was actually surprised at the book. I thought it'd be an artbook, but it turns out it's a strategy guide, including a nice big chart for demon fusion.

Yeah, I won't be getting around to playing the game for awhile...
I agree 100% about being happy with the quality (and quantity) of that book :)
*HOWEVER*, (and this may very well just be me and/or one of my own pet-peeves/'rant'-subjects), but...
...W.T.F. is up w/ these "CD-Samplers" aka "OST-Lites"?!
I mean, the cd that came w/ this game, for example = A TOTAL of 8 tracks.
Tracks 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 add up to a total of about 10 minutes -and- the 8th track is ~9.5 minutes :o
Is it just me, or does anyone else hate this trend - this new 'definition' of what an "OST"/"Soundtrack" should be...and long for the days when an OST was really...well...an OST?

/mini-rant
I see mostly Atlus doing this lately (SMT IV, Code of Princess, Etrian Odyssey IV...) but it does seem to be catching on here and there. However a fuller soundtrack is often made available later down the road. For some reason, game soundtracks tend to be released later than the game, which is odd. And of course, there's always a fairly large group of people that will find a way to rip the soundtrack in full if one isn't released (and sometimes they do that anyway even if it is), but it's nice having a physical copy.

Yeah, I won't be getting around to playing the game for awhile...
I agree 100% about being happy with the quality (and quantity) of that book :)
*HOWEVER*, (and this may very well just be me and/or one of my own pet-peeves/'rant'-subjects), but...
...W.T.F. is up w/ these "CD-Samplers" aka "OST-Lites"?!
I mean, the cd that came w/ this game, for example = A TOTAL of 8 tracks.
Tracks 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 add up to a total of about 10 minutes -and- the 8th track is ~9.5 minutes :o
Is it just me, or does anyone else hate this trend - this new 'definition' of what an "OST"/"Soundtrack" should be...and long for the days when an OST was really...well...an OST?

Got my copy of Shin Megami Tensei IV and registered both Fire Emblem and SMT IV for the $30 eShop credit and used it to buy Shantae: Risky's Revenge. I also found out that the original Shantae GBC game is coming to the eShop in 2 days(?!) So it looks like I'll be getting that with part of the credit too, since I doubt I'll ever be able to find a reasonable priced cart of that game, ever.

So I have been trying to curb a lot of misc buying lately and haven't spent a lot of money on games. But this one has been calling my name for about a month and a half and I have held off picking it up until today. It's the LittleBigPlanet Collector's Pack and contains the GH version of the game (which I'm sure I already own the DLC included) and the Sack Boy plushie!
Dammit. Really I only bought it for the plushie... but I've always wanted one and my will power only lasts so long. haha

Today was pretty solid. I did some trash diggin and some amazon stuff came in. First off, all of you SMT IV people suck. I got caught up in the mania and preordered the the thing. I don't know the first thing about it and I don't like RPGs, but yet here it is. Also from amazon, I got more of those Sony HdD Collections. The Jak and Daxter collection and the Uncharted Dual Pack were in that box. I'm really looking forward to Uncharted.
On the trash diggin front, it found something I haven't come across in a while. It was one of those $30 NES lots I used to buy pretty regular. I was hunting around a dirt mall and one of the locked cases had a Dillards box with "Nintendo" written on the side in marker. I get the old man with the keys to open the case and I pull out this cardboard treasure chest. It's an NES, hook ups, controllers, and 7 games (I think). $30 well spent. It excited the shit out of me. Now I have to figure out what to do with yet another NES.
Then at Game Xchange I found Flight of the Intruder on NES and Pinball with a Famicom adapter. I've been on the lookout for a Famicom adapter for a year or so and then I find 2 in 2 weeks.

You and me both. Higher pay, slightly later schedule (9am instead of 7am), and a bit longer commute, but not too bad. Fingers crossed it all works out, because while it's been great taking a month off, watching my bank account slide down was starting to stress me out a bit.
I've been deliberately avoiding vgcollect for that reason, as this place tends to increase the temptation to buy stuff... and I was still keeping my pre-orders like SMT4 and Time and Eternity ;p

I've learned something in the last few weeks. Ladies get better deals. My wife has done most of the dealing in the last little bit. A pretty lady does so much better than a man when it comes to games. If it had been me talking to that guy in that junk store, he would have wanted $100 or more. My wife asks all sweet and leaves with it for 25 bones. It turned out alright.

Nice going with Sonic! It's a fantastic game! The cart is not too rare, but super fun. Bridge zone has some of my favorite 8-bit music. Yuzo Koshiro did the music. (Streets of Rage, Y's, Shinobi, Actraiser, Etrian Odyssey, etc) Truly one of the greats.

Yeppers. A lot of the US master system games are just extra EU stock. Sonic was nothing but EU stock, they just lazily slapped some UPC stickers over the EU barcodes. Due to the shared libraries, I know several SMS full set collectors who actually say that the Master System only has two regions. The Asian countries and then everyone else. Thus, to have a full set you have to have all of the Brazil, EU, releases, etc. My definition does not go this far though.
But the bottom line is, I find it hard to even consider the US Sonic with the UPC a variant. Most people, myself included, tend to think most copies sold have fake UPC stickers anyway.

Wholeheartedly agree.
And I always get a chuckle out of the guy on eBay with his Sonic listed at an absurd price while saying "UPC sticker has been removed." But, wait, that's the whole reason it commands an absurd price! ::)

Yeppers. A lot of the US master system games are just extra EU stock. Sonic was nothing but EU stock, they just lazily slapped some UPC stickers over the EU barcodes. Due to the shared libraries, I know several SMS full set collectors who actually say that the Master System only has two regions. The Asian countries and then everyone else. Thus, to have a full set you have to have all of the Brazil, EU, releases, etc. My definition does not go this far though.
But the bottom line is, I find it hard to even consider the US Sonic with the UPC a variant. Most people, myself included, tend to think most copies sold have fake UPC stickers anyway.
... Seriously? Brazil had its own series of releases - yes they're graphic hacks but they count. It should be a third region.

This is the whole reason I have been trying to take over the SMS section of Sega Age. The UPCs are way too easily faked and ridiculous. The regions are hard to define. The list as I see it as basically 301 games. There is one Australian exclusive : http://www.smstributes.co.uk/getinfo.asp?gameid=398, 18 different Brazilian exclusives and the rest are split between the NA and UK. There are quite a few games that are renames (Buster Douglas vs Heavyweight champion, All American football vs Walter Payton, etc). Most of them are either generic games which end up getting a sports star's name or they are the Brazilian version in their native language. Then you have cart vs card. I dont really care for the card games and the cases. The cards do not play on my SMS II so Im going for cart versions of all the games (Which all the card games do indeed have a cartridge version). My personal goal is to get a version of all the 301 games.
The Asian countries I exclude as well cause they do not fit into the same machine. Its the same reason I do not count Dizzy the Adventurer as an NES game. You can not put it into a NES without the Aladdin enhancer.
And its funny you mention that auction on Ebay with the guy asking a lot for Sonic but saying the sticker is gone. The last copy of the UPC one that was listed on Ebay was actually being sold in the UK.

Everything was just as advertised. If it said disc, book, and case; that's how it came. The GBA games were in good shape too. I'll probably buy more stuff if there's anything else I want. It's a buck. You can't lose. The only complaint I have was the NES dust sleeves. The picture showed the "Nintendo" labeled ones. I got blank ones.

I've bought stuff from there before. Everything arrived just as described, most of the items in better condition than I expected. It's a good place to check now and then. You'll probably never find any real gems or anything like that, but it's a good source to stock up on random stuff.

I thought about ordering from them, but nearly every disc-based game I looked up had this description that scared me off:
"Includes game and basic plastic jewel type case only. "
So I assume that means it's a loose game disc inside a cd-sized jewel case. For those of you who have ordered from them, is that accurate or do most of the disc-based games come with the original DVD case and artwork? I'd hate to burn up a whole ink cartridge printing covers for anything I ordered from them.

I've found the descriptions to be accurate, You'll see some games say they come with game, manual, and case with original cover artwork. The ones that say game and basic plastic jewel type case only is just a generic cd jewel case.

I saw both PS1 cases on the floor somewhere and dashed to them, only to find burned CD-Rs inside. So I tossed the damn discs. Maybe that wasn't very nice, but I wasn't paying money for PS1 CD-Rs. Apparently they were from a rental shop. I don't understand why they'd do this, but... eh.

I totally did the same thing after reading this. My Best Buy was sold out, too. I had to have 3 different employees verify it, and the last one at the customer service desk kept going, "I can't believe you got this for so cheap," (it was priced at $39.99 at Target) while she was ringing me up. It felt satisfying like I pulled one over on them, lol.

Was about to just walk past it like normal but realized it was actually metal (like the ones on the legit arcade machines). Looked closer and it had a double plug for a PS/Xbox. Was marked $5 and with my discount, it was another dollar off.

Got Final Fantasy III (VI) on SNES, my all-time favorite game. Mine was stolen several years ago and it's good to finally have it back in the collection. Also won a couple of CIB Game Boy Advance games on Ebay:
Doom Kirby and the Amazing Mirror
Kirby was only $20 which has me a bit worried, because that game CIB normally goes for way more than that. Bootleg GBA games aren't unusual so I have a feeling I'll have to send this one back for a refund. I got Doom at a pretty good price, too, especially considering it's not too common to find it with the box.

I'm finishing up the first season tonight and there are SO many references to the show in that game...I can't wait to fire it up! I only played about 5 hours of the game on the 360 so I think I'll take the time to beat it on the PS3.
Nice snag on that SMT IV! Glad you could still find one out in the wild.
I was about to say the same thing! Where did you find it?

Amazon seems to have a few, but I called a random GS in OKC and they had 7. I got to go in a choose which one I wanted :)
While I don't personally shop at GS - I made an exception for SMT4. The manager at the store I went into was actually a pretty decent guy. He knew all about the SMT games, wanted to chat about them, and dug around to find a sealed copy of Deadly Premonition for me.

Yeah, I know what you mean.
I don't 'generalize' about GS any more...'cause they're very much "hit-or-miss" when it comes to their employee's knowledge & personalities.

I just got the Humble Deep Silver Bundle (above the average). I got Risen 2: Dark Waters, Sacred 2 Gold, and Saints Row The Third The Full Package for less than five bucks. I already owned Saints Row 2 and Dead Island GOTY (I got that one for free from Raptr a year ago) and I got no extra copies, oh well.
I'd also get Dead Island Riptide if I paid nineteen bucks more, but no thanks. :P

Is it hard to find? My local Best Buy had 6 copies of it. I didn't pick any up because I already had it :P

Seems to vary by location - easy to find in some places while close to impossible to find in others...I already have my copy, too.

I picked up a 64 MB Max Memory PS2 memory card for $4. It was opened but the card seems to work just fine.
I also picked up Computer Gaming World's 200th Issue CD (March 2001), which has a bunch of demos but also includes several full DOS games that I'm not entirely sure are completely legal. It has Achelon, Alpha Man, Avoid the Noid (!), B-17, Balance of Power, Betrayal at Krondor, Bunniflip, Elite, Elite Plus, Empire, Kampfgruppe, Mystery House, Net Hack, Pirates 2, Reach For The Stars, Rogue, Super Dune 2, Tac Ops (Taco Ops? No? Dammit), The City, X-Com, and Zelda Classic. That was... $5. That's way more than I wanted to pay for it.

I just won the Japanese The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. No more censored teenhood.
What's different?
There was censorship like blood, sexual content, religious references and different box art. I don't think there is any more censorship, but I don't know a lot of Japanese.
