Got two rare games for a rare game console and my local used game store had a buy 3 get 3 free sale going on this weekend on all PS2, XB & GBA games.  :o

SWITCH
- Mario & Rabbids: Kingdom Battle - Collector's Edition
It's a lot bigger then I imagined. lol

XBone
- Professional Farmer 2017 (was on clearance)

PS4
- The Bunker
- Night Trap (SCD Red Version)
- Night Trap (SCD Blue Version)
- Night Trap - Collector's Edition
Just waiting on the 32X version.  ;)

XB
Here's the XB games I picked out from the buy 3 get 3 free sale. Got all these for about $2.50-$1.50 a piece.
- America's Army: Rise of a Soldier
- Crusty Demons
- First to Fight
- Justice League Heroes
- Marvel Ultimate Alliance
- Thief: Deadly Shadows
- Worms 3D

GBA
These where all $1.50 each and 2.50 for the last one.
- The Three Stooges
- Trollz: Hair Affair
- Froggers Adventures 2
- Guantlet / Rampart
- Advance Wars 2

ODY2
I'm down to only missing 5 games for a complete Odyssey 2 collection and I found one of the harder games to find for a great price.
- Turtles

TVboy
I found two rare games for a rare Japanese game console called the Gakken TV Boy. They only made 6 games for the system and I already have 3 games. So after these I'm only missing 1 game for a complete set.
- Urban Combat 200X (plays a lot like Combat on the Atari 2600)
- Mr. Bomb (plays a lot like Kaboom on the Atari 2600)

And in the one that got away...
I almost got an Aero Fighters on the SNES for under $300. But the seller found out it was going for a lot more and refunded my money. "sigh"  :-\

No one has the Italian or Spanish in the database or the two Ultimate Hits Japanese releases I just bought so I have to add those when I get them.  :)

Picked up Yakuza Kiwami Steelbook Ed along with Yakuza 0 for the PS4 - guess it's time to get back into the series.

Plus recently got a few Super Famicom Games from my local retro shop since they got a new batch of games in:

- Gokujo Parodius! - Glad I finally got this
- Magical Quest 3 Starring Mickey & Donald
- Rushing Beat Ran
- Mr. Nutz - Seen the US version before but passed on it but couldn't pass up on the Nutz J version.  :P
- Donald Duck no Mahou no Boushi

Only managed to play Magical Quest 3 so far, Capcom really did good Disney games back in the day.

I need to get back to adding things to my collection on time, but in the meantime:

Got Utawarerumono: Mask of Truth yesterday, complete with waifu pillow case. Wasn't sure if I'd like the series, but I've been watching a Youtube playthrough of the first game and have been enjoying it so far. I started watching the anime initially, and while it's good, it's nice to see the SRPG elements and some of the side storylines that didn't seem to be reflected in the anime thus far. Anxious to jump into Mask of Deception, but I'm sure I have more of the original game to watch through first.

Picked up some random clearance PC, PS2, PS3, and XBOX games.  The highlights are...

Chessmaster, The 10th Edition (PC)
Halo Game of the Year (XBOX)
Halo 2 (XBOX)

Becoming harder to find original XBOX games these days...  Wish I had more money.  I also need to get both of my XBOX's clock cap redone.  I suspect one is probably leaking a little and the other is leaking more than a little...

I've been using it for remote play of some PS4 games I've been enjoying. Many great VNs available. I really enjoyed Freedom Wars, if you're into that hunting genre of games.

Danganronpa is great, Tearaway is a great one for utilizing all the features of the handheld.

Thanks, didn't expect them to be so large.   :o

You must really love FFXII

Yes, yes I do.  Plus the adventure of getting all of them and researching the releases is fun.  I think I'll pick out a few other games I really like to do the same thing for once I finish this one.  Feels better to get these than just some random crap commons on most systems.  :)

Had a great week for finds. My local used game store got in a rare game console and they had no idea what they had, Also had a great find from a garage sale.  ;)

PS4
- Utawarerumono: Mask of Trurth - Launch Edition

I was at my local used game store and picked up a few games (see below) and as I was walking out I see something out of the corner of my eye and see a Gold PS4. I think... no... and take a closer look and see it's the Limited Edition Gold PS4 that was only given away in a contest by Taco Bell.  :o
Then I see it's only $200  :o I ask the clerk if it had the gold controller and he says he tells me yes. Then he tells me it came in the store brand new in the box. I ask about the box and he goes to look for it and can't find it. After a while of searching and not finding the box he looks in the trash and finds it in the garbage.  :o Thank god it was saved.  ;D

GC
My local used game store got in a GC I needed for cheap.
- Dragon's Lair 3D

SNES
My local used game store got in a bunch of SNES games, found a few dirt cheap games I needed.
- Pro Quarterback ($1.50)
- Frank Thomas Big Hurt Baseball ($1.50)
- Riddick Bowe Boxing ($2)
- PTO ($3)
- We're Back: A Dinosaur Story ($3)

MD
My local used game store got in a couple Mega Drive games.  :o I saw this game for $7 and looked up the going value and see it was priced as the American version and the Mega Drive version goes for about $50. So I had to buy it.  :P
- Sea Quest DSV

ATARI 2600
- Centipede (mislabeled version)
I was going through a bin of Atari games at my local game store and find an odd label variant, I look up and only found a few people on Atari Forums that found this. So I just bought it. It was labeled with the Colecovision version of the label and is relabeled and the end label is orange instead of red.

And now the few finds from garage sales...
I didn't hit a lot of sales but in the small amount I did score one great find.

DC
First find was a Dreamcast Keyboard in the box for $1.

NES
While I was out hitting the sales I get a text from a friend of mine and he tells me he found a NES and N64 at a garage sale and sends me the address. But he saw it the DAY BEFORE. I think crap there's no way it's still there but head to the sale anyway. I get there and I'm shocked to see the NES lot was still there.  :o but the N64 was gone. I see some decent games and ask a price and I'm told $100. Honestly not a bad price seeing it came with almost 20 games. But I got him to take $85. Here's what it came with.
- NES console with 2 controllers and all hook ups.
- Game Genie with a bunch of code books.
- Super Mario Bros.
- Super Mario Bros. 2
- Super Mario Bros. 3
- Section Z
- Who Framed Roger Rabbit
- X-Men
- Wizards & Warriors
- Yoshi
- Bugs Bunny's Crazy Castle
- Puss n Boots
- Hatris
- Ikari III: The Rescue
- MC Kids
- Ninja Gaiden II
- Mike Tyson's Punch-Out
- Mega Man 2
- Adventure Island 2
- Adventure Island 3
- North & South

I still can't believe this lot was sitting out in the open at a garage sale for over a day and it was not sold.
I gotta start hitting the sales again, been slacking the last few months due to other BS.

Thanks man.
I remember going to Taco Bell most every lunch break trying to win one of these. I never thought I'd find one just sitting in a used game store for the price of a normal one. (with the box no less) Now if only I can find the 25th Anniversary version like this.  ::)

Speaking of special edition PlayStations.  I just discovered something I am going to have to buy for my FF12 collection...  Apparently Japan had a PS2+FF12 bundle.  There's ~$200 more I need to spend.  Haha!

It wasn't a PAL region copy, but I remember seeing a Japanese version of this game for sale at a game store in NYC back in late May of 2006, a few months before it came out in North America. I think they wanted like $80 for it and being the huge FF fan I was at the time I almost did. Seeing how I later found out I didn't care for the game and that I am not proficient in Japanese it was probably for the best I didn't pick it up.

It wasn't a PAL region copy, but I remember seeing a Japanese version of this game for sale at a game store in NYC back in late May of 2006, a few months before it came out in North America. I think they wanted like $80 for it and being the huge FF fan I was at the time I almost did. Seeing how I later found out I didn't care for the game and that I am not proficient in Japanese it was probably for the best I didn't pick it up.

I agree with you not picking it up if you ended up not liking it.  I bought the Japanese SaGa Frontier when it was launched in Japan and played the hell out of it not being able to read any Japanese.  Liked it so much I bought the US version immediately upon release.  I also bought Final Fantasy V new back around 1995 out thinking it was going to come to the US as my still owned EGM said it would.  Well we know the story about that now...  Haha!

Nice pickup on that SMB3. I see in your collection you have added the wrong game. The SMB3 you have in your picture is this one instead:

variant or not it is a very common game let alone a copy of mario bros 3.

For cib it is more notable but also not really important let alone a lose copy of super mario bros 3.

It's even less of a difference than a platinum and black label if you would like my opinion.

Maybe for a more uncommon game it would be more important but really understandable for just another copy of mario bros 3, I'm pretty sure that many on this site do the same.

Had to rebuild my shed and put a new roof on this weekend so I only got 3 games this weekend.

NES:
Fisher Price: Perfect Fit
R.C. Pro-Am (Oval Seal)
Super Jeopardy!: Talking

With those 3 I hit the 100 cart mark. As a kid I wouldve never thought Id ever own that many NES carts.

lol I don't know why but my town was a hot spot for gold ps4's in fact the taco bell I won mine from had 9 winners including myself that they knew about (all had pictures taken and hung up in the store). but I have seen at least 4 sold in my area with one still on sale for I want to say $500 still sealed.

It is for the user to decide how they want to put it in their collection. As he has already said, he did not know it was different. If he chooses to keep it as NES [US] or change to NES [CA] it is up to him. As you can see from jce3000gt's posts, some people do care about collecting variants, other may want to accurately enter items into their collections and many do not care. We do not have a care about how people put things into their collection, but the information should be present in the case someone wants to use it.

No pics at the moment

Got a bunch of cheap N64 games to start closing out the set.  Down to under 40 games left.

Jeremy McGrath Supercross 2000
Bomberman 64
Superman 64

Bought Army Men Sarge's Heroes 2, Command and Conquer, and a CIB copy of Legend of Zelda (NES) for a good price, but they got lost in the mail.  Managed to find another CIB Zelda for the same price elsewhere, so I went and bought that.

And some random stuff that I've bought as they have come out or as I find them for a good price.

Gitaroo Man (PS2)
Drive Girls (Vita)
Inside/Limbo (PS4)
Killzone Shadow Fall (PS4)
Resident Evil Revelations (Wii U)

Finally got my Collector's Edition of FFXII yesterday after ...
- Mar 10: preordered
- July 10: received it, noticed some damage to the item after opening outside packaging
- July 11: contacted SE to ask for an exchange or refund (since item was still available in the store)
- July 17: sent the item out
- July 20: SE received it
- August 10: emailed to see if a replacement/refund was coming
- August 21: emailed again
- August 28: received a response back
- Sep 7: got a tracking number
- Sep 14: finally got the item

I'd never had an issue with SE before, and if anything, I'm glad that this only happened with something that was still available. Just frustrating going through over two months of them having my money with no item to show for it (good thing I wasn't rushing to play it). Wish they'd have issued some sort of partial credit or something but whatever.

Speaking of FFXII, I got my Spain release in the mail yesterday.  :)  That was the one I was most worried about since the tracking # provided didn't seem to work.  I'm picking up another package at the post office today that's either the Italian one or one of the Japanese releases I ordered.  :D

Yes there is a few of them, i only got the first ones i found on ebay so there is probably better offers than these (i also didn't check where they ship) but at least you know they exist, the first is the Italian variant :

The German variant:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/PS-2-FINAL-FANTASY-XII-FINAL-FANTASY-12-Verpackung-Anleitung-Platinum-/112561609240

And i pretty sure there is a Spanish variant somewhere but i find can't anything about it, it seems strange that all other country where the Original version got release have theirs Platinum edition except for that country.

I decided this weekend that I would check out the local places since I didn't have to do a lot of house stuff (for once). So I hit up the local Walmart, Gamestop and Goodwill which are all in the same strip mall area. I didn't get over to the local retro store because some reason they are closed on the weekends. I did find some good haunts and bought my first used game for Walmart. Works just like a new game so I'll be doing that again.

So today I got my first ever Xbox console ever. The Xbox One S Forza 3 with Hotwheels DLC Bundle and I also picked up Halo Master Chief Collection.

The whole thing cost me just over $400 CAD <_>

The thumbstick grips were given to me for free for some reason.

(Also I can't seem to find the Xbox bundle in the site but I feel like it would be in there.)

EDIT : ( Added an entry for the bundle. System didnt seem to find any duplicates. )

Also can anyone recommend some good exclusives for the Xbone? I'm looking toward Sunset Overdrive and Cuphead already.

A buddy is selling his SNES collection and literally only had one game I needed, so I got Super Bomberman from him for a good price.  VGPC/VGN have it at like $30 but I never see it up for less than like $40, so for $20 I'm happy to not have to worry about getting it.

Fun 'n' Games (Gen) <- Game + Box
Dino Crisis 3 (Xbox)
Brute Force (Xbox)
Hot Wheel Stunt Track Challenge (PS2)
Kessen II (PS2)
Ehrgeiz (PS1)
Knockout Kings 2000 (N64)
Ignition Factor (SNES)
Spikeout Battle Street (Xbox) <- New
Furious Karting (Xbox)
NBA Jam 99 (N64)
World Cup 98 (N64)
Evolution: The Sacred Device (DC) <- Free

Also got a loose copy of Elder Scrolls Morrowind GotY (Xbox) for like $4. I have non-GotY CIB so I'll probably just print art and keep this one because I actually just want to play this one, I have the non-GotY for prettiness.

Stopped by a local game store and apparently someone traded in a huge container full of complete in box SNES and N64 games. The box itself was somewhat hidden away as the store owner had not gotten around to fully assessing the small treasure trove. I ask him if I could rifle through it. There were a lot of gems in there far outside of my price range like Knights of the Round, Final Fantasy III, Super Smash Bros just to name a few. He was nice enough to separate the box from the carts as I already had them. I ended up settling on these three....

I've got a few games for free from a friend (he apparently also got them for free during a yard sales this last week-end when he bought a big lot of DVD, he got two big boxes full of DVD and a few others stuff, like those games, most of them are in a pretty bad state, some of them like that Adventure Hall of Fame for PC was at the bottom of one of the box, crushed by all the DVD but hey i can't say no to free stuff 8)... especially when it's good games like those  :o), so this is what i've got from him:

PS1:
Alundra (no manual or front cover, but seriously that the fourth one i've got this year and i think i don't have anyone else to give it to now)
Fighting Force
Grudge Warriors
Pandemonium 2
Rage Racer (oh yes, i wanted to find that one back, i played a lot with my brother back in the days but sadly that was one of the "lost games" from my moving a few years ago)
Tekken - Platinum
Time Crisis: Project Titan
Twisted Metal: World Tour

Xbox:
Beat Down: Fists of Vengeance
Destroy All Humans!
Wreckless: Mission Yakuzas

PC:
Adventure Hall of Fame (a big box that contains Die by the Sword, Die by the Sword: Limb from Limb, Fallout, Les Chevaliers de Baphomet (aka Broken Sword) and Stonekeep)

In those boxes he also found a Tiger LCD that was only released in France called LNF ("Ligue Nationale de Football") and yesterday morning i've had the BIG surprise to receive my Super Nintendo Classic Mini (a few days before the release  8), but the site where i've pre-ordered it still say that my order have still not been shipped yet... ???).

Had to do some business in the city I work in on my day off. I caught wind that one of my haunts was taking in Magic the Gathering cards for store credit. (Good thing I have over 500,000 cards). Took some over and ended up with a few CIB NES games, some more Game Gear games and ended up hitting up Gamestop for a few items.

NES:
Mission Impossible (CIB)
Tetris (CIB)

Gamecube:
Resident Evil Player's Choice

Wii U:
Mighty No. 9 (figure Id try it out for 7 bucks)

Amiibo:
Mabel

Game Gear:
Aladdin
Berenstain Bears Camping Adventure
Bust-A-Move
Columns
FIFA International Soccer
NFL '95
Super Monaco GP

PSP:
Medal of Honor Heroes
Untold Legends Brotherhood of the Blade


(Didn't think I need to put another entry in for my few finds today.) My wife and I celebrated our two year anniversary today by going to West Virginia. She loves FiestaWare. So we went on a tour of the factory. And she spent a small sum of money on dishware. Everyone needs a hobby right? As we were coming back I talked myself out of going to Pittsburgh and hit up a big retro gaming shop. I ended up going to a gamestop in Eastern Ohio and taking advantage of the buy 2 get 1 free sale on used games. But man the manager there was a super dick.

Wii U:
Animal Crossing Amiibo Festival
Captain Toad Treasure Tracker
Shovel Knight
Wonderful 101

A few weeks of goodies, and my local used game store got in two rare games that where under priced I had to buy them.  ;)

First I got the SNES Classic Edition, had to wait outside a Gamestop over 4 hours to get one.

Amiibo
- Metroid Samus Returns Set - Samus & Metroid

Switch
I finally got some of the NIS limited editions I ordered. They always wait til all your pre orders are released before shipping.  ::)
- Disgaea 5 Complete - Limited Edition

PS4
- Danganronpa V3 - Limited Edition
(came with a backpack & hat, but wasn't enough space on table to show it in picture.)
- Senran Kagura: Peach Beach Splash - No Shirt, No Shoes, All Service Edition
- Tachyon Project - Limited Edition
- Lili - Limited Edition
- Lili
- N++
- Shadow Warriors 2 (LRG cover)

VITA
- Tachyon Project - Limited Edition
- Danganronpa V3 - Limited Edition (came with a backpack and hat)
- Asdivine Hearts

3DS
- Metroid Samus Returns - Limited Edition
- New Nintendo 3DS XL System - Metroid Edition

GC
My Local Used game store got in a huge stack of GC games, I found one I've been looking for priced at $15. On Ebay it goes for close to $30. Kinda hard to come by on Gamecube.
- Beyond Good & Evil

PS2
Found a bunch of PS2 games I was missing for cheap from them too. All these where priced under $5.
- Secret Agent Clank
- Jackass the Game
- Winback 2
- Code Lyoko: Quest for Infinity
- Guilty Gear Isuka

SFAM
I ordered a few more "weird" Japanese games and the first one came in the mail.
- UFO Kamen Yakisoban (a beat em up where you fight as a superhero who uses noodles)

SNES
I saw this game at my local used game store and it was not in the best of shape, I looked online and saw one in great shape at the same price (including shipping) so I just bought the one online.
- Fighters History
The next week I saw this in their store, Priced at $49 and it came with manual.  :o The manual Alone sells for that. I needed it for my collection and I had to buy it.  ;D
- Imperium
Last I saw an SNES Super Set box behind the counter, I asked how much? They told me it's just the box. I looked at it and it had all the Styrofoam, plastic and paperwork inside. I told them I wanted it and they let me buy it for $20.

INTV
Last they got in some INTV games and quite a few I don't see often, but one caught my eye and I was missing it and it was way under priced. I had to buy it.  ;D
- Body Slam Super Pro Wrestling

and got a SNES Classic from Amazon Treasure Truck.

Can't wait to see what other stuff Amazon does with the Treasure Truck now that my city has it.

King's Field 2

I so absolutley adore that game! One of the best, most atmospheric action-RPGs ever made. So many secrets to uncover, too.

But be prepared for some pretty rough graphics (very early PS1), and some slow gameplay. If you give the game a bit of a chance, you will level up and be able to move around a bit faster, though.
