It all looks like good stuff to me! But I love my DS and RPG stuff.
And Contact is awesome if you haven't played it before. Definitely reminded me of Earthbound.

Picked up a few things recently:
(http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb141/jcalder8/P7010183.jpg)
The Sims 3 stuff was $4.50
The Final Fantasys were $30 for all of it, the boxes are mint!
Lastly Incantation was $1.00, I had never heard of it but I thought I would take a chance on it, as it turns out it's a fairly rare game!

Whoa, amazing score of the FFs! Nice work! And that's crazy that the Sims stuff was so cheap, including the base game. I saw the same expansions (sealed) at a yard sale for something like $14 each. Cheaper than retail, but not cheap enough to bite.
-
w00t, just scored a free code for Spelunky (XBLA) a day before release! twitter finally pays off!
-
I found a gray Wavebird Receiver and a black Intec 4 Mb Gamecube Memory Card. $1 for both.
The Wavebird Receiver is going to be traded away, unless I stumble upon a loose Wavebird.
-
Got my copy of Theatrhythm Final Fantasyon 3DS. Pretty fun so far, a bit simple but not bad.
I also have that pre-order stylus with stickers (I put the Lightning sticker on mine).
-
So Happy with this haul. I've got everything below for only $40:
- The Sims: Bustin' Out (GBA) (Cartridge only)
- Pokemon: LeafGreen (GBA) (Cartridge w/ case)
- Pokemon: FireRed (GBA) (Cartridge w/ case)
- Pokemon: Ruby (GBA) (Cartridge w/ case)
- Pokemon: Sapphire (GBA) (Cartridge w/ case)
- Pokemon: Emerald (GBA) (Cartridge w/ case)
So yep, pretty good day for me :)
-
A few more pickups today:
Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2 Nintendo Power Guide
Banjo-Kazooie Nintendo Power Guide
Yoshi: CIB Canadian version
WWF No Mercy cart only
Ogre Battle 64 cart only
Spent about $4 on all of it.
-
@jcalder8 Nice grab with the Ogre Battle 64, I know that's one of the rarest (and crazy fun) games for the 64. You could probably make your money back 10 fold with that cart.

I've never tried it so I am excited to give it a go. I knew that it was worth a bit of coin but when I looked it up on Ebay I was surprised at how little CIB copies go for relatively speaking. Now is probably a good time to get one before they skyrocket.
-
Have you ever played Yoshi before? It's one of my favorite puzzle games!

I took a "gamble" on a collection of Pokemon cards. It only cost $5 but I was afraid that they were going to be modern cards. As it turns out the newest card I found was from 2001 and it turns out that there is between 600 and 700 cards. I think it was worth a shot :D

I have a ton of cards that I bought for reselling but nobody seems interested. If you find a victim - er buyer, send him my way too. :p

Finally got http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenshin_Dragon_Quest
Been looking for one for a while. This one was listed cheap cause the guy said it didnt work (I assumed he was trying it on a non compatible TV). It came in today and, although it powers on, the screen just flickers blue. Im not sure how to get it to work but it doesnt appear that it would be too complicated (plug and play system).

Yesterday, I found a loose Tecmo Bowl (NES) for a buck, which I'll be pairing off with my loose Tecmo Super Bowl to sell on eBay; Warcraft II Battle.net ($1, also going to eBay) and three bare Playstation SCPH-1001 decks. You know, the so-called audiophile ones? For a dollar each. They were on a table full of stuff that a seller was clearing out. Other things included a Dreamcast, some pads, radios, etc.
I tested all three decks and they work wonderfully, but one seems to be slow to read discs. Also one had a Soviet Strike disc inside! Neat little game, that. :)
I was thinking of selling the bare decks on eBay, but... I may just keep them so I don't have to use my PS2 to play PS1 games, haha. I may mod one, too.

*COULD USE A LITTLE HELP HERE* :o ??? :-[ ::) :P
Just received my Trinity Universe: "Trick or Treat" Giclee from NIS America's on-line store today...
When I got my other/first one, the Disgaea: "Dressed For Success" one - I was able to find a picture of it somewhere on-line to use it to add it to my "SWAG" category here...
I've been looking & hunting around on-line to find a pic of the Trinity Universe one to do the same with...but I've just been striking-out; over and over...which; could very well be because I'm just *HORRIBLE & INEPT* when it comes to doing/trying to find pics of shit like this :'( :'( :'(
If anyone here's *great* at finding weird stuff like that on-line and could provide me w/ a link to a *usable* picture of it to use here...
I'd be eternally grateful!!!

All I did was google Trinity Universe Trick or Treat. ???

I ran into a new Retro Game store here in Utah yesterday and had to swing in. I was AMAZED at the amount of inventory they had, I could have easily spent a few hours there but was in a rush. I plan on going through their stuff a little better this weekend and it's only a couple miles from my place. Anyway, I picked up a gamecube w/hookups and controller for $25 and a copy of Fire Emblem (already addicted) for another $25. Also got mint copies of Panzer Dragoon II and The Horde (my old copy was in awful condition). Can't wait to go back! They have a mint complete copy of Ogre Battle 64 I'd like to nab.
-
The Horde (my old copy was in awful condition).
How awful is awful condition? I may be interested if it's not too bad.

ebay
XGIII: Extreme G Racing [GC] 3,50 €
and yesterday someone on my facebook friendlist posted that he's selling some of his games and I couldn't believe what he was selling:
Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes [GC] 35 €
Conker's Bad Fur Day [N64] (Cartridge only) 35€
-
The Horde (my old copy was in awful condition).
How awful is awful condition? I may be interested if it's not too bad.
With a new case it would probably be good, but it looks like it was left on the dashboard in a car and started to melt lol. I'll take a good look at it again tonight.

Ronalopolis and I spent our anniversary (July 3rd) the same way we do about every year...picking a random city within driving distance and hitting their used game stores.
This year we did Indianapolis, mostly because they have a Fry's, and we don't get there very often. Also the Children's Museum there is phenomenal, and they were open on the 4th.
We didn't get too much this time, but he did get Resident Evil 2 for the PlayStation (didn't have it for that) and he got Code Veronica as well (PS2). Then he picked up Clock Tower 3 (PS2) after arguing with me about whether or not he had it (the Android VGCollect app is so great for these trips, by the way!!) and I got Hell's Kitchen and Sega Casino for the DS. Then the Breeder's Cup game that Bethesda made for the PS2. This stuff all ended up at about $15 total.
Then a trip to a really random store got me Hotel Giant DS and him Rock of the Dead, each for $3.
Let's see...then I got a clear Game Boy Pocket, I'm starting to get really close to all the non-LE colors on those (the Pockets, that is). And then Bomberman GB (which they threw in). And Mario and Luigi Bowser's Inside Story. So $35 total with that round.
Then we picked up another game from my WANT list: Kolibri. Anything that is described as a "hummingbird shooter" needs to be in my collection. Haven't dug out the 32X to try it yet though. Complete in box, $35, which I don't think is too bad.
Then we got home late last night to have Theatrhythm waiting for me on the doorstep. So, a pretty fantastic last two days!

i got some new games and i will upload pics when i get home ;D

It's a little dangerous living in Northern California... we have about 6 Fry's locations within a 50 mile radius of my house.

Yup, we lived in Northern Georgia, and there was one at the Mall of Georgia, which was only about 30 minutes away. Now, the 3 1/2 hour to Indianapolis gets us to the closest one by far.
It's not as good as it was, for us at least. They used to carry import games and they've stopped that. They do still carry the random adapters to connect the X-Arcade Tankstick to different systems, so Ronalopolis is happy with that. We got the one to connect to the PS3 and to the original XBox this time around.

Finally scored a Turbo Express! Now if I can just find a Neo Geo Gold system.
-
Today I got a few games from my local game store:
Startropics (NES)
Toy Story (SNES)- I used to play this game all the time on PC, one of my favorites
Sonic the Hedgehog (Gen)
Dig Dug 2(NES)
Elevator Action (NES)

Because it's at least 45€ on ebay and this way I could check the condition before buying it.

Picked up a random schmattering of games this weekend:

Rayman 2
PS1
Destruction Derby
GCN
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles
XBox
Dead or Alive Ultimate
Jade Empire
Soul Calibur II

The last two I though may be collectible someday since they were Blockbuster Exclusives and I picked up the XBox games for $2 each, so I figured why not?

Recent purchases... beautiful copy of Ogre Battle 64 CIB. Couple saturn games, an Ogre Battle guide and some Gamecube stuff. I can't wait to replay the original Resident Evil w/updated graphics.

Now, normally at this hot, humid, and "taken-over-by-tourists" time of year...I'd *NEVER* make the 1/2 hour drive south down the Garden State Parkway to my favorite game store (*ANYWHERE*) in Atlantic City, N.J.
Well...after seeing some of all of your recent scores/finds at garage sales, flea-markets, etc...and after having just about a 100% "Strike-Out" rate at each & every one that I've been to lately...my petty jealousy over:
*Waah* :'(
"It's NOT Fair" :(
"They've been finding all sorts of good shit" -
..."and I haven't been getting any" (*GAMES*, that is:)
So, this afternoon, I decided to go down there to the store, shop, hang-out for awhile, and talk/bull-shit w/ my friend, the owner...
Now, I didn't do *Perfectly*...but it *was* worth the trip!
I ended up walking out of there with the following:
(1). Indigo Prophecy C.I.B. (PS2) (this one's a "double" for me since I already had 1 *sealed* copy of it),
(2). Heroes of Might and Magic: Quest for the Dragon Bone Staff C.I.B. (PS2),
(3). Orphen: Scion of Sorcery C.I.B. (PS2),
(4). Drakengard (ps2) - (Which, unfortunately, I didn't realize until I got back home, that it was the Drakengard *ONE* game (disc) in the box & with the manual for Drakengard *TWO* >:(
(5). Blood Omen 2 C.I.B. (PS2),
(6). Galerians C.I.B. (PS1), and
(7). KLONOA: -Door To Phantomile- C.I.B. (PS1)...
...all of the above for $35.00/Cash ;D :D :) ;)
This guy still (somehow) has an incredibly large (hundreds) of still *sealed* (and hundreds more "C.I.B./Like-New) PSX and Dreamcast games...
He has such a big inventory - that he simply *REFUSES* to count/list them all...but...if anyone's interested in calling him themselves to inquire about any of these, I'd be more than happy to get you in contact w/ him (and, if you find something that you want, picking it up and sending it off to you:)
-
Oh man. Nice get on the Klonoa ps1 game! The 2nd one was one of the first games I got for PS2 and I loved it.

I've been able to snag a copy of it not for the same price you got your's (which was a steal), but $6.50 is still a good deal for me.

Those were two of my favorites growin' up; before the Playstation, the Genesis was my favorite console for sure. I'll have to see where those old games are lying around and see if I can still snag them from my parents.

I've not went game hunting much lately. But I did add the Final Fantasy Tactics Guide (thanks to Soera), Romancing SaGa (thanks to Disgaeniac) to my collection. Also I went out and bought a copy of Gungnir for PSP today.
-
You'll have to let us know how Gungnir is!

Also I went out and bought a copy of Gungnir for PSP today.
I actually found a brand new copy of this today but it was still $30 so I passed.

Ya mine was Brand New too. But I didn't want to risk it becoming hard to find. PSP games are quickly disappearing from all my local shops.

I haven't seen much of a drop since they were never that popular around here to begin with so it really just looks like the same games that are still on the shelves

It's not so much of them disappearing from my shelves but that they keep getting pushed around to different locations as the Vita and other displays vie for space...

The boxes aren't pristine, unfortunately... Ys Seven is slightly squished and a bottom corner slightly torn probably when someone tried to force it open.
DDS1 was unfortunately squashed when the eBay seller decided to send me the item (that looked pristine in his photos) in an unpadded manila envelope.
Hopefully I can resolve that with him soon...
Speaking of DDS1, I wanted to verify with you forum folk about whether the item was released in two formats: 1) regular game-only version and 2) deluxe version with slipcase & soundtrack and such. If so, that means the non-deluxe version should have the non-deluxe image, no? (http://vgcollect.com/item/1144)
I was just afraid to change it when I noted how many users had already marked that they owned the non-deluxe version (while only 1 person has claimed the deluxe version). ... also looks like the barcodes for the game box itself and the deluxe slipcase are the same, too, which is a bit confusing.
-

Exactly this. All my GameStops have may e one shelf of PSP games and some of them are new and used mixed all together.
The used game shops are a different story, but usually they don't have anything good, and mostly lame umd movies.

While I don't know all of the specifics, I *CAN* confirm for you that there were indeed 2 releases of DDS 1.
I'm pretty sure the 1st release (which is probably what may have been called "the deluxe" one) is the one that you have that came in the box...I also *Believe* that there may have been an OST originally included w/ that version.
There was then a re-release/2nd print-run of the 'vanilla' (non-boxed) game.
Also, be aware that, iirc, *BOTH* DDS 1 & DDS 2 have quite nice *reversible* sleeves (so, depending on which sleeve each owner likes better...you could be seeing pics of the same game that look different/have different cover-art work.
Also,
@Scott and/or Matt:
Is there any 'policy' here concerning games with 2 possible images for the front & back of the case?
Just wondering, because if two people have the same game -and- each one of them prefers a different side of the reversible-sleeve...this could quickly (and easily) lead to confusion, dupes, etc...
A suggestion...possibly instead of attaching an image of the game disc itself - use that spot for a pic of the alternate cover...or...just be sure to make mention of this whenever adding one of these games in its "Description"/"Notes" area???

Just out of curiosity, since I can't see it too well in the picture, how do you know the game gear game is a pirate?
-
The obvious give away is the box, its way too small to be legit. Second, the cartridge just says "GAME" on it instead of "GAME GEAR". Third, I bought it from Taiwan ;)

Right, I'm not terribly familiar with Game Gear overall, so I didn't realize the box was too small. The last 2 do give away the fact it's pirated though :P
Oh, and that Armor thing, is it "compatible" with an X figure? That'd be kinda awesome.
-
Here's a pic of all my latest pick ups. I've mentioned everything else. But, Persona 4 came today, it was sealed but I opened it up. Other than these, I also have Unlimited SaGa on it's way from Amazon.

Where the hell did you ever manage to find such an amazingly beautiful copy of that PS2 game, Romancing SaGa ;)
Also (I also somewhat recently got myself a copy of Dragon Warrior VII)...where did you find that one -and- what kind of prices did you see it going for (in a "Used" Like-New W/ case & manual) kind of condition?
-
The obvious give away is the box, its way too small to be legit. Second, the cartridge just says "GAME" on it instead of "GAME GEAR". Third, I bought it from Taiwan ;)
Right, I'm not terribly familiar with Game Gear overall, so I didn't realize the box was too small. The last 2 do give away the fact it's pirated though :P
Oh, and that Armor thing, is it "compatible" with an X figure? That'd be kinda awesome.
Supposedly it's compatible with all of Bandai's X figures from the mid 90's (namely the Rockman X3 line), but I imagine the X4 and X5 figures work too. I've got an X3 Zero and X4 Ultimate Armor X that I would test with, but I don't want to open it ;)
-
Im simply jealous of your mega man stuff. I really wish there were more DQ games I could add to my collection. Im sure I could pick up a bunch of figures/plushies but they arent as cool as games themselves. I wonder if there are any pirated DQ games. Its making me curious now!

I picked up Rhapsody for the DS today for $4.50. I haven't heard of it but when the back of the box says that I can attack with pancakes I knew I had to get it.

Sounds like my kinda game, too ;)
-
Never played the DS version of Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure -BUT-, quite a long time ago, I played & had fun w/ the PSX version of the game :)
It actually pulled-off being a "Musical RPG" (as in, characters actually burst-out in song (solos, duets, and more:).
Also, in a 'cheesy' kind of way (...like maybe a *blending* of Journey, Foreigner, and Air Supply :P
...Believe it or not...some of the songs were actually pretty damned good!
A little tidbit of trivia for any other Disgaea/NIS fans is that Margoly (and several other characters that either have cameo appearances, weapons/items named after them, and/or are (at the least) referenced in later Disgaea/NIS games...originally appeared in Rhapsody ;)

It's supposed to be a port of the PS1 Rhapsody, but it features a completely different battle system.
OH, and I got games today, started building up my Xbox "collection"!
For Xbox, I got:
Jet Set Radio Future+Sega GT 2002 (both games for less than one of them? yes please... it seems still sealed, but that's not staying)
Outrun 2
Panzer Dragoon Orta
And otherwise I got:
Space Channel 5 on Dreamcast
Chiki Chiki Boys on Genesis (whatever that is)
I'm on a Sega roll today :)

DDS1 was unfortunately squashed when the eBay seller decided to send me the item (that looked pristine in his photos) in an unpadded manila envelope.
LEAVE THAT BASTARD A NEGATIVE.
He has it coming. That's unexcusable.

*laughs* Thanks, Foxhack, for the sympathy - I thought you would certainly understand!
I was pretty astounded by how stupid it was on his part, ranted loudly to my boyfriend about it, and messaged the seller as soon as I could. He got back to me promptly and said he might have an extra slipcase and outerbox (he said he used to have more than one copy) he can send me to make up for it. We'll see how it all turns out. I'm thankful that the final bid price was low, though, or I'd be even more upset.
-
Okay, so since I finally got actual games for my original Xbox, I plug it in, press the eject button to start playing some Panzer Dragoon Orta, and find a Midway Arcade Treasures disc in there.... Weird.
-
Speaking of DDS1, I wanted to verify with you forum folk about whether the item was released in two formats: 1) regular game-only version and 2) deluxe version with slipcase & soundtrack and such. If so, that means the non-deluxe version should have the non-deluxe image, no? (http://vgcollect.com/item/1144)
I was just afraid to change it when I noted how many users had already marked that they owned the non-deluxe version (while only 1 person has claimed the deluxe version). ... also looks like the barcodes for the game box itself and the deluxe slipcase are the same, too, which is a bit confusing.
While I don't know all of the specifics, I *CAN* confirm for you that there were indeed 2 releases of DDS 1.
I'm pretty sure the 1st release (which is probably what may have been called "the deluxe" one) is the one that you have that came in the box...I also *Believe* that there may have been an OST originally included w/ that version.
There was then a re-release/2nd print-run of the 'vanilla' (non-boxed) game.
Thanks! I submitted a regular cover of the non-boxed game... hopefully that will prevent future confusion.
Also, be aware that, iirc, *BOTH* DDS 1 & DDS 2 have quite nice *reversible* sleeves (so, depending on which sleeve each owner likes better...you could be seeing pics of the same game that look different/have different cover-art work.
Also,
@Scott and/or Matt:
Is there any 'policy' here concerning games with 2 possible images for the front & back of the case?
Just wondering, because if two people have the same game -and- each one of them prefers a different side of the reversible-sleeve...this could quickly (and easily) lead to confusion, dupes, etc...
A suggestion...possibly instead of attaching an image of the game disc itself - use that spot for a pic of the alternate cover...or...just be sure to make mention of this whenever adding one of these games in its "Description"/"Notes" area???
This is a good question... Mods, would this info clutter too much or be helpful? The description field is supposed to be used for things such as listing box contents or variant-specific details, as far as I know, so I'm wondering if noting reversible artwork should be included or not.
-

I guess you'll need to get a second one. For Science.

I eventually want to change how we handle images. I think our images are too restrictive and small right now. This probably won't happen for some time but it's on my todo list.

You've actually piqued my curiosity with this whole "Digital Devil Saga"...saga :P
I guess that's mainly because I had so much fun playing both of the DDS games :)
Also, once I start wondering about something that I don't know the answer to (*Especially* when it relates to one of my all-time favorite games & series)...I...guess...that...I just get pretty tenacious & relentless - until I've hunted down the answers/Info that I was after ;)
Anyway...here's the full *deal* w/ DDS One...
A). There were indeed two releases of the game.
B). The *Initial* release was the boxed version. At the original time of the game's release...this boxed-version would have been the *only* version to be found.
C). This initial boxed edition (which, supposedly has enough room/space in the box to hold both DDS 1 & DDS 2) came with:
(1). The game disc itself,
(2). A 40-page instruction manual,
(3). An Art-Book, and
(4). A "*Special*" version of the OST.
(- the word "Special" used above is in quotes because...it is *NOT* the entire/official OST. For various "Licensing" reasons/issues/problems, and due to various other vague & unspecified isues...a good amount of the songs that are on the Japanese OST/Game...were left-off of this (U.S) OST...
(D). Then, later...the game was re-printed as the 'vanilla' "game-only" version.
Both versions have the same reversible sleeves.
-
Awesome! That definitely clears things up. A little confusing for the launch copies to be called "deluxe" but I guess that's just how it goes. I'll have to edit the description field in the deluxe version to include what all the goodies are. Thanks for doin' the research!
Both versions have the same reversible sleeves.
Hm, I checked when you mentioned this in your previous post, but I didn't see a reversible sleeve in my game... :\ I'll have to check again to make sure I'm not crazy. I think maybe it's just the second game that has the reversible cover.
-
Damn, Scott!
Where the hell did you ever manage to find such an amazingly beautiful copy of that PS2 game, Romancing SaGa ;)
I'm not sure where it came from, it just arrived in the mail one day. I was all like "Oh hey, thanks amazing game mail genie, I'll take that."
Also (I also somewhat recently got myself a copy of Dragon Warrior VII)...where did you find that one -and- what kind of prices did you see it going for (in a "Used" Like-New W/ case & manual) kind of condition?
I've been looking for Dragon Warrior VII for a while, and every copy I saw was priced around the $65 range. Soera found this one for me at the OVGE show for like $35 and it's in excellent shape. When he told me the price I had to jump on it.

I know there are some romhacked Castlevania games out There but I honestly don't care about them at all. (Except for Foxhacks translated Kid Dracula). Personally I wouldn't include pirated carts in my collection of Castlevania stuff.
I do enjoy my copy of Dragon Quest Monsters: Caravan Heart tho. But that's a rare instance.

You're absolutley right, though...It's only the 2nd DDS that has the reversible cover :P

Very nice price/buy, indeed 8)

So, I was running around and found myself almost driving right past my closest Gamestop store...
I decided to stop-in real quick & see if they had any B1G1's, B2G1's or B2G2's for anything that I'd have any interest in...
Turns out, that their Game-Cube games (which were just about as slim as pickings could possibly ever get :)
- were B2G2.
Since they really didn't have anything that I would have bought normally...and since I...
...*Just Couldn't*...*NOT*...
...buy four games for $10.00...
I walked out w/ the following *4* GC games (that are each & every one of them the very epitome of the descriptive word..."MEH":
(1). Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell,
(2). The Sims: Bustin' Out/*"Player's Choice"* version,
(3). Turok: Evolution, and
(4). Bionicle.
(All games are C.I.B.; Btw)
I guess that this can also be (at least partially) attributed to my closing-in on/wanting to cross that elusive threshold & get my badge for my:
*500*
"Items in Collection"...W/O having to start going throuh/adding all of my guides, OST's, Swag, etc...
-
Holy Shit, Batman!
Sorry for all of these consecutive posts :-[
At any rate, for now, I just added my copy of:
"The Sims: Bustin' Out": *Player's Choice* NA Game-Cube version
under the regular entry for the *Non* "Player's Choice" version and made a note in my entry that mine's the "Player's Choice" version...
I'm more than happy to enter all of the Info. for the Player's Choice version (I actually have everything written-down/ready to add/submit...BUT...I can't seem to find a use-able picture of the Player's Choice version of this game >:(
Does anyone have one/can link me to one to use so I can make this entry/submission *COMPLETE* when I do submit it?
Thanks-

Finally, an eBay seller did a nice job of packaging a game (glad I paid too much for it)! Put it in a cardboard mailing box and even put in some unprinted newspaper in to keep the game from shifting in transit. Box is pristine as is everything else in box.

It doesn't exist. It's a game case I had commissioned to hold a Rockman World 1-5 Chinese Multicart I bought on eBay. The real Mega Man Mania was cancelled, but enough art work of it exists for the case to be recreated.

Ohhh, haha, this shows how little I know about Mega Man. I should've looked at the reviews for the Amazon page: http://www.amazon.com/Mega-Man-Mania-Game-Boy-Advance/dp/B00019HNMI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1342055894&sr=8-1&keywords=mega+man+mania
"This game never came out, but it still deserves a review."

Unlimited SaGa arrived last night along with Worlds of Power: Castlevania II: Simon's Quest. Both I snagged from Amazon and got free shipping on them. Unlimited SaGa is in excellent shape, but has a sticker on the back I need to remove. Worlds of Power is an old elementary school library copy and the cover has been "protected" with what looks like clear contact covering on it, which is ok. But there is a label under it on the spine. But, the good news is, the rest of the stickers they put on the cover easily came off and I could clean the adhesive off w/ Goo Gone. The spine is tight and everthing else looks good on it too.
(I'll add a pic of both later)

Well, went out to dinner with the GF tonight and decided to swing into Best Buy on the way home. Wandered into the Sony section looking for (hoping for) a PSP memory card (no luck). But I headed over to the PS3 used games and walked out of the store with Demon's Souls! Black label, CIB. They also had a GH version, but I decided to keep searching and found the black label one buried in another section of the rack.
Also, he's the pic of Unlimited SaGa and Worlds of Power: Simon's Quest.

(http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7279/7560090742_c639b527e0_z.jpg)
Was pretty happy to get it all for about $15 - the game itself goes for that, and this one came with a strategy guide. For "good" condition, these guys look better than some of the "very good" and "like new" stuff I normally get in the mail.

This looks really nice. I hadn't seen one before and now I will have to keep an eye out for it.

@Desocietas:
Though that game got many mixed-reviews (Radiata Stories, that is) I had a lot of fun w/ it.
Have you already played it?
Also, that guide will come in *VERY* helpful (*Especially* for recruitment aspects of the game:)
Now that I think about it...what/if any other RPG's have ever done this before?
(- meaning, having a branching/"choice"/"Point-of no return" about 1/2 way through the game, and then, depending upon your choice here, you will get 2 *Completely* *Different* story-lines...*NOT* just an extra/different boss or an additional area, or two...but completely different stories, endings, bosses, recruit-able characters & NPC's, Post-game content, etc...
Basically, you pick to play on the side of the monsters or the humans, and from there...*EVERYTHING* is different?!

My girlfriend just bought me Black Ops (PS3), she also pre-ordered Black Ops 2 for my birthday, which gave me a double sided poster :) Pretty neat little thing!

Nothing for me to add here for a while. :(

It looks like I rented Radiata Stories over 6 years ago (thanks for the timeline, Gamefly!) and really enjoyed it then, and yes, was pretty surprised when it came down that that crucial decision in the plot. I don't really have strategy guides (this may be my first?), but I figured for games like these, it'll come in handy (and will help me avoid having to sift through GameFaqs for the same info and risking spoilers).
I'm looking forward to sitting down and playing it again soon, but I feel like I can't play any of my pre-gen consoles until I get my hands on a CRT tv again!

Not really a game, but if Foxhack can post his Tails cosplay, I can post this one:

Hmm. I just assumed that it was some sort of proprietary memory stick. If it's a standard SD card, then I'll just go get one of those. I can't play my free PSP games from the whole "Here's free games, sorry PSN was hacked" debacle. since my current one is only 1GB...

Actually the PSP uses Memory Stick Duo Pro cards... unless you're weird and you have a PSP Go, which uses Memory Stick Micro M2.

That's what I thought. As far as it not being a standard SD card. I'll look in the camera section next time I hit the store.
-
Yeah, I just waited for a 16gb memory stick duo pro or whatever went on sale at Fry's and *bingo*... cheap way to save games. The ones I've bought usually have a little thing on it that says it works for the PSP. Was probably Sony branded, too, just not labeled exclusively for the PSP.

Picked up a couple of things yesterday and today:
(http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb141/jcalder8/P7130270.jpg)
Gears 3 was $35
The Dreamcast extensions were $1.50 each
The arcade stick was $2
and the Colecovision was $7
This is the cleanest system that I have ever found
(http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb141/jcalder8/P7130271.jpg)
-
That Colecovision is awesome!
-
Whoa, that thing looks newer than it does in my nostalgic memories... Nice!

So today I went to do a round of garage sales. I found a whole lot of NOTHING! It was a total waste of time.
To mildly redeem this morning, I went to EBgames where they had special deals today, came out with the Duke Nukem Forever Balls of Steel Edition on 360 for 14$, and the Rift Collector's Edition for 2$ (it comes with an 8GB USB key and a mousepad, both of which needed).
Never gonna play either of those (not into MMOs, and I already played through the superior PC version of DNF), but whatever :P

Yeah, and I went through MOST of my city too. Haven't found a single game... Other than DJ Hero, screw that :P
At least I have a Duke Nukem bust statue to make me feel like I didn't completely waste my time :P

I picked up Duke too but I bought a copy of NHL Slapshot instead of Rift, although that's a really good deal.
-
Yeah, the guy at the store tried to get me to pick up NHL Snapshot... but I didn't really want it. At least Rift has a USB Key in it, and the box is super nifty.
-
Got a bunch of stuff today. First of all, I had traded Varkias my extra copy of NBA JAM TE on Saturn, for his extra copy of The Horde on Saturn. His package arrived today and it was in a much larger (and heavier) box than I was expecting. So I cracked it open and found not only The Horde, but also the JP release of Grandia on Saturn and a bunch of Castlevania strategy guides! Thanks Varkias!
Then afterwards the GF and I went wandering around town and I also picked up The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks, Prinny: Can I Really Be The Hero? and Knights in the Nightmare (which also came with a download code for the full version of Yggdra Union: We'll Never Fight Alone). The only problem, and something I noticed after I got all the way home, was that Knights in the Nightmare's manual was missing and since I bought it Brand New from GameStop, I was a little PO'd about it. Maybe one day I'll search for a loose manual for my copy, but the addition of Yggdra Union was nice. :)

desocietas gifted me Ys Origin on Steam. :o
Been playing this all day!
Edit:
AAAAAAAAAAWW YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH. I just traded a Team Fortress 2 Crate #40 (incredibly rare) for Batman Arkham City and Harley Quinn's Revenge on Steam. I'm done.
-
Heh, glad you liked it! And that's awesome about the crate trade - sounds like you've got a lot of good gamin' ahead of ya.
-
Eh...so I couldn't wait for all of my pre-ordered games to come-out/get here to hit my *500* mark.
So, I went to GS & bought 8 games (for $2 - $5/Each) to hit the magic number!
A few were just doubles (and even *triples*) of games I already had for cheap prices.
New games were:
Summon Night 2 DS (NA) CIB,
Pokemon Ranger " ",
Pichu Pichu: Venom (or something like that:) DS (NA)/ "New"
Shellshock: Nam '67 PS2 (NA) CIB,
The Suffering " "
-
Oh yeah...I also (somehow) ended up w/ an extra/2nd PS2 (NA) Tales of Legendia
instruction manual if anyone ever finds themselves in need of one...
-
Just received a couple things:
Banjo-Kazooie Nuts and Bolts/Viva Pinata on 360 (bought it to get Viva Pinata on the cheap, I'm not ever touchung Nuts and Bolts again)
Maken X on Dreamcast
ChuChu Rocket on Dreamcast
Rampage World Tour on Playstation
Phantasy Star Online Episode 1 and 2 on Xbox (the box says I need Xbox Live to play it, hopefully that won't stop me from playing single-player)
Getting close to 1000 items!
-
Getting close to 1000 items!
Do you have a game in mind for number 1000?
-
Not really, it'll be something completely random. Unless I pick up nothing but new games for the next 2 months, which would make item 1000 the Borderlands 2 Loot Chest, or Ragnarok Odyssey on Vita if that ever decides to come out... But I'll probably end up getting some retro games along the way, so there's no way to know :P
-
@ Jcalder8 -- AWESOME FIND on that Colecovision. That thing looks like it's been packed away since 1983 and getting it for $7 is a steal. I'm definitely jealous ;)
Garage sales can often be a disappointment, but you just gotta keep trying because you never know when you'll come across something good. Just this year I've picked up some great titles like Phantasy Star III, several Pokemon Gameboy games, a bunch of great minty NES boxes, a box of 50+ black plastic NES sleeves, Baldur's Gate II Dark Alliance, Legend of Dragoon and several great deals on N64 games. It eats up my Saturday mornings, but when you find something great or rare at a garage sale for a couple of bucks, it's totally worth the time investment.

Which Dark Alliance 2 did you find?
I know that the PS2 version is considerably harder to find & more valuable than the X-Box version...
How much was that & LoD going for?
(I *Know* that I'll regret having asked when I hear how cheaply you bought them for:)
-
If that Baldur's 2 is PS2 version and you want to unload a manual, let me know!

I'll keep my eye out for you...if I see one for sale in GS and it has a manual...one of my friends there is sure to let me have it ;)
-
Thanks! Heh you mention that ... I did find the game at a GS and it had the manual but the guy wouldnt let it go. I go back a few weeks later and the game is sitting there in a sleeve ... I asked about the box/manual and they said they tossed everything to make room. Sigh.

Hah!
I've bought games there before (w/o a manual), came in a week (or a month) later & saw one w/ a manual...and just told whoever was on the register that I bought it w/o the manual & that they *Owed* me one (even if I *didn't* actually buy *that* game w/o a manual...I'm sure that there was *some* games that they owed me manuals for:)...never fails to work ;)
-

Ha, nooo! I'm always so tempted to just take a manual or something when I see the used cases (or even the new ones!), but I also refuse to buy a game if it doesn't have the manual in it.

Finally tracked this down, first complete one I've ever been able to find.
-
Thats cool looking. I really want to see your collection in person some day. It would be like visiting a Mega Man museum. My son would go crazy if he saw it. He loves the blue bomber.

I never knew so many Mega Man games existed before I saw your collection forte! I love how it all looks together.
Picked up a couple games today, I am not sure how well I did though:

Cost a buck each.

Just traded duplicate (and triplicate) copies of 2 $3.00 games (Obscure 2: The Aftermath (PS2-NA) and Leisure Suit Larry: Magna Cum Laude (PS2-NA)) for *MINT* C.I.B. copies of:
Silent Hill: Shattered Memories (PS2-NA) and
Silent Hill 4: The Room (PS2-NA)...

-

That, sir, makes you an awesome father! One of these days I'm going to get shelving and set this stuff up proper.
-
Im going to make a shelf soon. Ive finally decided on a design and it should be pretty cheap the way Im going to do it. Just want to get some more sleeves to fill the rest of the holes and then Im going to start. Ill get pics of my whole room once its done!

Picked up Thief Gold and Dungeons of Dredmor on Steam... SOLELY because it gets me to 999 items, and I will make item 1000 TRULY epic... if all goes well, I'll have the find of the year either tomorrow or friday.
-
Heh Im getting close. I want to make 900 a nice item. :)

Yeah me too... I got an email back from the person telling me it's not sold yet and I got her phone number, as soon as she picks up the phone I'll hopefully make arrangements to pick it up tomorrow and... well this could be one of my best finds since I've started collecting. I'm not spoiling what it is though :p

I don't think it's actually licensed and that Mead invented someone named "Mega Man" and put it on the cover. That or there are worse artists than the ones at Capcom in 1987.

It's great... it's like they gave no Fs about the proportions of a person and how it might be unhelpful for a battle robot to have weirdly short arms.
Also, is he humongous or just on a planet of tiny buttes?
-
Is it just me...or...does anyone else see a *slight* resemblance to one "Mr. PyramidHead" :o
-
I don't think it's actually licensed and that Mead invented someone named "Mega Man" and put it on the cover. That or there are worse artists than the ones at Capcom in 1987.
Normally, I'd agree.
But you see that little thing next to the "MAN" in "Mega Man"? That's a "TM", isn't it? That means they had to ask for permission to use the name. That means it's licensed.
-
I don't want to look at it anymore, make it stop...
-
Lol I would have never showed you the link of that if I had known you were actually going to buy it!

Yes, but whether that license is before 1987, or even legal, has been up for debate for a while:
http://www.nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?StartRow=26&catid=7&threadid=68796
Since the product makes no mention of Capcom at all, and no one can figure out if it was made in 1987 or after, it doesn't appear to be a Capcom Mega Man, and if it was an attempt at a Capcom Mega Man, it was done illegally. Again, all speculation, but digging around seems to support the idea.
Lol I would have never showed you the link of that if I had known you were actually going to buy it!
This is a different one, I managed to snag a Mead folder for about 5 bucks :P This isn't the binder that a bunch of crazy people seem to think is worth 70 dollars.
-
Well, I found something strange yesterday.
(http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j238/foxhack/DP/dp-2012-07-20.jpg)
Not the New Order tape with a concert ticket, nor the Depeche Mode CD (though they're both awesome in their own right), but the Shadoan CD. That is a game soundtrack for "Kingdoms II: Shadoan", some adventure / FMV game released for PCs. I never knew there was a soundtrack made, and so I bought it. I still haven't opened it. I dunno if it's worth selling or keeping...
-
Well, today is a good day. I just hit 900 items and #900 : Panic Restaurant!!! I am extremely happy to own this. By far, the rarest game in my collection.
-
Nice Find, SOERA!
Nothing spectactular here...but, between yesterday & today...I hit 3 or 4 pawnshops/retro game stores and walked away with:
(*YESTERDAY*)
Rayman GH C.I.B. PSX NA,
Digimon World GH C.I.B. PSX NA,
Gungrave: Overdose C.I.B. PS2 NA,
Crazy Taxi C.I.B. PS2 NA,
Wild Arms 3 (a double for me) C.I.B. PS2 NA,
Dark Angel: Vampire Apocalypse C.I.B. PS2 NA,
Yu-Gi-Oh: The Deulists of the Roses C.I.B. PS2 NA
PRYZM Chapter One: The Dark Unicorn C.I.B. PS2 NA
(*That* 'Lot' came to $25.00).
-AND- today's "Final Take" was:
Shonen Jump Bleach: The 3rd Phantom (For some reason, this DS "Bleach" SRPG game has been ridiculously hard to find locally) C.I.B. DS NA
Coraline C.I.B. DS NA
Duke Nukem Forever (I know, I know...in spite of its horrible reviews - I just *can't* pass-up any recent & sealed games for under $5.00) *SEALED* PS3 NA
OverLord 2 C.I.B. PS3 NA
Ninja Gaiden: Sigma C.I.B. PS3 NA
...today's total was another $20.00 -SO- $45.00 for all of it over yesterday & today ;)
-
Congrats on the Panic Restaurant, that's a really tough one!
-
Well, I talked about a great find for my item 1000 so here it is... before Disgaeniac dies from hype :P
Though I will say my day started crappy as I literally missed a deal on a Battletoads arcade cabinet by FIFTEEN MINUTES.... Goddammit.
So yeah, I found, on my local Kijiji, a complete in box Magnavox Odyssey, with everything it needs to play (cards, overlays, poker chips, roulette board, cartridges, fake money, cables, controllers)
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v290/jobocan/Odyssey/PICT0173.jpg)
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v290/jobocan/Odyssey/PICT0176.jpg)
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v290/jobocan/Odyssey/PICT0175.jpg)
Pretty happy about this, but THAT'S NOT ALL!
I was putting the Odyssey in my car when the lady comes out of her house and asks me if I'd want an original Xbox with some games because she was gonna throw them away... so she gave me that for free! Which was a big surprise for sure.
The games for the Xbox are:
Mortal Kombat Shaolin Monks
Midway Arcade Treasures 2 (will go well with the MAT1 that I randomly found in my xbox)
Mechassualt 2: Lonewolf - Limited Edition
Ninja Gaiden Black
Conker Live and Reloaded
The Suffering
Blade 2
Thrillville
Jade Empire Limited Edition
All that for 170$ (canadian), which is a lot less than even incomplete Odysseys usually go for (from what I've seen).
I'm pretty happy right now, despite missing that deal on the Battletoads arcade (which is, by the way, a completely different game from the NES version and it kicks all sorts of ass).
So yeah, here's my item 1000!
-
Awesome finds Gentlemen!
@soera - Gotta love that Panic Restaurant! Most rare games are bullshit. There's a reason they didn't make many, but Panic Restaurant is fun. It's a good game that just got overlooked.
@jobocan - What a deal on that Odyssey! That's a cool little piece of gaming history.
Edit - I got so excited about you boys finds I forgot about mine. I found Conker's Bad Fur Day for the low low price of FREE! Somebody was going to put in a yard sale and my sister snagged it for me. She said there was a whole box of games coming since she found someone who wants them. This was beyond awesome since this is the game on the top of my want list right now. Now, does anyone have a box and manual?
-
That Odyssey is amazing! Have you tried it out yet?
-
That Odyssey is amazing! Have you tried it out yet?
Yup, it works perfectly! My only problem is that the overlays (even the smaller ones) are too big for my SDTV, so I kinda have to squish them in there. I might have to upgrade from my Samsung GX if I intend on using this :P
That said, all the games on this are multiplayer, so there's not much I can do but look at it right now... and be happy that I have it! :P
It's pretty awesome to have.

That was worth the wait! Great pickup and congrats on passing 1000.
-
Awesome get on both the Panic Restaurant and the Odyssey, guys!
While not nearly as amazing, I did finally find a copy of Pokemon Conquest today, after a week of searching locally. Found it at Walmart and every where else is sold out, so ya I'm pretty pumped about it.
-
@jcalder8 - I noticed you picked up Shadowrun. I thought that game was awesome back in the day. Is it still a good time?
-

Ouch, that sucks!

Huh - I didn't even know that it *was* a beat-em-up...it was marked as an "Action-RPG".
I just loaded it up again to double check. I guess it could be considered an Action RPG, since it has a bunch of cutscenes and some puzzles to it. But the main gameplay still seems pretty beat 'em up to me. Even GameFAQs has it listed as an Action RPG, so I guess that's what we'll go with.

Yeah - I guess it's pretty much one of those "6 of one/half a dozen of the other" sort of games because after scanning a few reviews for it...I've seen it called both an ARPG & a Beat-em-Up - more than once :P

Just got back from a 11 day church retreat up in the Santa Cruz area and was able to hit the Capitola flea market, didn't find too much that wasn't way overpriced.
1. Fear Effect Strategy Guide - $.25
2. Playstation Controller - $.50 Little dirty but should clean up good
3. Super Puzzle Fighter II - $1
4. Keys of the Kingdom - $5 picked this one up at church retreat bookstore seems to be a Bible adventure Game.

Ah, I passed through Capitola this weekend and didn't know they were having a flea market! I checked out Level Up but they didn't have much. What they did have, they were charging proper prices for... I guess that's the one nice thing about GS - they don't mark their prices up with research usually.
-
Is Level Up a game store in the area? I tried finding game stores in the area and GameStop was the only one that I found.

Level Up is in downtown Santa Cruz, I think... It's a nice shop (good amount of older games, cute displays, plushies, etc.), but yeah, they seem to be seriously lacking on game shops down on the central coast. The GS in SC was super small and didn't carry any PS2 games. They said the Capitola one did (which I forgot to go to), so I assume that one's bigger. Otherwise, it's pretty few and far between down there until you come up north to the South Bay, where there are like 10 Gamestops within a 15 mile radius.

Oh god. That logo... that awful awful logo.
That company published the Left Behind games... the horror. the horror
-
I just did a google search on Level Up and found out I was 3 blocks from there, I was at Pizza My Heart, Loves me some Pizza.
Ya looks like they do a bunch of "Christian" games, and the LB Games is for Left Behind games.

Sticking w/ my recent theme of:
"Mountains of Meh-ness"...
I just picked-up 4 more PS3/NA games (all 4 for $15.00)
Condemned 2: Bloodshot C.I.B.,
The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena C.I.B.,
Chaos: Shadow Warriors C.I.B., and...
Silent Hill: Homecoming C.I.B.

My find of the week was Final Fantasy VII (original, not greatest hits) at a garage sale for $3. It's missing the manual, but that's still a hell of a deal. Other than that, I picked up a few common PS2 games for $1 each.

That is an awesomely *GREAT* deal; no doubt ;D
Btw - 'mis-print'???
-
*HOLY* SHIT!!!
Damn...I've actually just gotta' say it again; so...
*HOLY* FRICKIN' SHIT, BATMAN!!!
See, long ago there was a long-time friend of mine who borrowed 2 relatively inexpensive & commonplace games of mine (*At the Time*)...PS One times/games.
I'd forgotten about them for several years - until I noticed one day/on-line what they were worth in today's dollars...they were no longer very *Inexpensive* & *Commonplace*.
However, this poor friend of mine had/has been actively strung-out on heroin (& likely whatever else he could get his hands on) for many years.
Getting a little more personal & revealing than I normally do on an on-line site (I guess 'cause the overall tone & atmosphere of this community has made me feel pretty comfortable & welcome)...I was *very* empathetic & sympathetic towards him having overcome similar problems of my own after high school.
Actually, this was why I was so passionate & dedicated enough to work full-time (while going to school at the same time) in pursuing everything required to become an alcohol, drug, and gambling addiction counselor myself).
Now, nothing against the people who "book-learned" their way into the same field, but, I found that since the people we were working with/trying to help were much more receptive, open, and honest in dealing w/ me (and the others like myself who had personally experienced their problems) and extremely reluctant & reticent to work w/ the "school-only educated counselors".
Anyhow, I (severely:) digress :-[
At any rate, this friend of mine has now been clean for close to two years and has re-engaged in talking to me again.
I would have never thought of bringing up the games, but, he called me a few days ago and told me to check my mail for the next few days, as he'd mailed my two old games back to me.
So, I receive his package & open it up expecting to see 2 games in pretty crappy condition
(-actually, I was *SHOCKED* that he hadn't sold them for money to get high with...
Whelp...it turns out that he *had* done *exactly* that (sold them for $ to get high with).
What I found enclosed in his big, padded envelope were...
...*SEALED*
copies of the 2 games that he'd borrowed...
(1). TOMBA! (perfectly factory-sealed) and...
(2). TALES OF DESTINY II (also, perfectly factory-sealed)!
(Both PS ONE / NA versions)...
Anyhow, seeing as I've already played both of these - and seeing the going rates for sealed copies of them now...I'm finding myself a bit reluctant to tear the wrap off of both of them to replay them...

-
I absolutely love Tomba. Tales of Destiny II is pretty good too. They are extremely rare especially sealed. That sucks about your friend though. At least he is clean now.
-
MMMMM sealed Tales of Destiny II .... you making my mouth water.
-
Good stuff disgaeniac! I actually picked up Tales of Destiny II yesterday, need to find some time to play it!

Thanks!
I never had the chance to own/play Tomba 2 yet...how is it compared to the 1st one?
You're also correct about their rarity sealed...I'd imagine that, after buying both of them sealed to send me...his wallet probably fits into his back-pocket a lot easier than it did before XD
-

Did you find that C.I.B.?
...out-in-the-wild?
Hmmmn...
Now I'll have to pray for a sealed copy of "The misadventures on Tron Bonne" to fall into my lap next ;)
-

Ha Ha!
Sorry, but this sealed baby *DEFINITELY* Does *NOT* qualify for the:
"PAY-IT-FORWARD" THREAD :o
-
@disgaeniac, that must have been really shocking to open it up and see those! It's actually even more impressive that he remembered which games they were!
Enjoy them I love when my games have a story to go with them.

You 're right!
These 2 games (and their story/history) will always make them more significant & hold more sentimental value than the vast majority of the rest of my games & items.
Hmmmn...
"Games that stand-out/have more unusual & memorable stories & histories than the norm"...
- sounds like it could make for an interesting thread...

Just ordered 25 DS cases off Amazon for all my GBA games.

Lunar Silver Star Story Complete.
And it only cost me four bucks.
Not as good as disageniac's finds, but good enough for me...
-
Just went and bought Shadows of the Damned on PS3, Heavenly Guardian on Wii (just in case you aren't aware, it's actually somewhat of a sequel to the Pocky & Rocky series) and P.N.03 on Gamecube.
Yayness.

Shiiit...that's pretty damned good...that LUNAR looks to be in nice condition, too :)
I'll buy that LUNAR from you right now - no questions asked...
for *FIVE*-*TIMES*
...what you paid for it :P
Hmmmnn...interested(?)...Wanna' "Flip" it for 5X your initial investment?!?!?!
j/k; amigo ;)

Funny thing, I bought this to flip on eBay, but then I saw the price tanked quite a bit since the last time I had one of these... so screw it, I'm keeping it. I'll probably get to it sometime in 2017.
-
Oh yeah, Foxhack - if you haven't played it yet...definitely give it a shot...I had *A LOT* of fun w/ both Lunar games for the PSX :)
-
Opened my mailbox to find a glorious copy of Super Metroid in there! I'm ready to give this another go. It's been nearly 20 years.
Oh, and I picked up the Star Wars: Rebel Strike Rogue Squadron Preview disk for $3
-

As someone who just went back to Super Metroid after over 10 years of not playing it.... It's still amazing as it was the day it came out.

I played one game for the Sega CD like, eighteen years ago, maybe? I didn't get very far (it was a rental.)

Yes CIB at a retro store nearby, although I paid dearly... $99.

To be perfectly honest I've never been able to find a copy of Tomba! 2. It has eluded me thus far. That and Tail Concerto are the two I have been trying to find cheap over the years.

I found a copy of Tomba! 2 at Goodwill about six months ago, so you never know where you might see something rare pop up. Finding rare gems like that in unexpected places is part of why this hobby can be so thrilling.

My kids were playing some Target Fun.
Yes its just a re-branded 2600, but still... Now it is part of the collection.

I recieved Steel Diver in the mail yesterday. It's a pretty fun little submarine game. Though I don't like the periscope section.

1). Viewtiful Joe cib - Gamecube NA
2). Timesplitters cib - PS2 NA
3). Timesplitters cib - PS2 NA (can't remember the sub-title/something w/ "future" in it; I think :)
4). Tomb Raider III cib - PSX NA
After striking gold through my mail-box...apparently, I'm back to more *Meh*-(deocrity)
:(

The trick for the periscope section is to sit on an office chair and make it spin around... it's the only way to make it remotely fun :P
-
Today, I bought a "Gamestop-New" copy of Trinity: Souls of Z'ill Oll (or something like that/ another "nothing special")...but...
...you know how the saying goes about good/bad things coming in threes?!
My 3rd *GOOD* one came today :)
1st = Unexpected *Sealed* copy of Tomba (PSX NA),
2nd = Also, unexpected *sealed* copy of Tales of Destiny 2 (also PSX NA), and, today's happy third...
3rd = *Expected* arrival of my newest (and, coincidentally) 3rd Giclee "Embrace the Knight"!
All in all - a week that I'm *VERY* Happy about ;)

Oh nevermind. It looks like Nintendo discontinued the GBA slotted ones. Good thing I got all my back up cases when I did.
-
I only paid $13.99 for all the cases and after shipping it came out to $20. It was pretty close to what Nintendo was charging. I almost did buy the ones from Nintendo without the GBA cases ha.

We also got two really nice black leather office chairs for $7, a Domo plush, a Golgathan action figure from Dogma and a book by Kevin Smith for 50¢ each. I can't wait to put a poop monster action figure on my shelf at work!
-
I just got a free copy of Crysis 2 for PC (downloadable) from a guy who was selling games at super low prices. He gave me the code and refused to take my money.
-
Just got my pre-order of Growlanser: Wayfarer of Time. Though it's gonna be awhile before I get a chance to play it.
-
Here are my pickups from the last couple weeks
Starting with these:
(http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb141/jcalder8/P7310366.jpg)
FFVII is discs only since the cover is photo copied but it was only a buck
MGS guide was $4
Wing Commander Prophecy was $3
Smackdown VS Raw 2009 was $9 which is the cheapest I have seen it
Mario land 1, 2 and Mario Deluxe are all extra copies so they will be up for trade, I really need a laptop hard drive.
Ratatouille and the GBC games were $3
(http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb141/jcalder8/P7310368.jpg)
SNES games were $3.50 each
NES Games were $4 each
Game Boy games were $2 for the set
The PS2/Gamecube and Xbox games are 1.50 each and all complete
(http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb141/jcalder8/P7310367.jpg)
PS2 games were 1.50 and the are all complete except for Star Ocean which is missing the manual
The red game is a PC edition of Need for Speed Hot Pursuit which is the EA Crew edition and was only available for Christmas 2010 to EA employees
These are the ones that I am most excited about, especially Parademon
(http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb141/jcalder8/P7310364.jpg)
When I was 6 I collected(to play with) all of series 1 and 2 but I was never able to buy the last one that I needed. I actually had it in my hand but my mom told me to wait and keep looking before I bought it and by the time we got back to the store it had closed due to a tornado warning. That was 25 years ago today and I bought it on Friday brand new is the package.
-
Nice pick ups! I really need to get the 3 Xenosaga games. Hopefully I can snag a similar deal on it.
-
Nice score on those PS2 rpgs!
-
Just got my pre-order of Growlanser: Wayfarer of Time. Though it's gonna be awhile before I get a chance to play it.
Went in to Gamestop & picked up my 2 pre-ordered copies of it today, as well :)
I'm jealous that you found that PSX game (Tsugunai) so cheap, Jcalder...it's on my "like to try it someday" list :P
-
My DS cases came today and they are probably the best cases I have ever seen. Absolutely perfect for my GBA collection!
Look at this:
(http://i1083.photobucket.com/albums/j399/pacpix/0731131533.jpg)
This is great for those people who love to store the GBA cover on the DS. SO much more useful the the actual game holders. It makes no sense to actually keep a GBA game in the case.
(http://i1083.photobucket.com/albums/j399/pacpix/0731131607.jpg)
Not only can you carry a DS game and the GBA cover, but you can fit GBA games in it too! If you are ever looking for great cases for your GBA games I can not recommend these: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0039ZWQQY/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00 enough.

Just received something pretty cool. My first complete in box Famicom game!
It's Kai no Bouken/The Quest of Ki by Namcot, so it also comes in a snazzy plastic case. Can't wait to finally play this game, I've been looking for it for a while. The front cover is slightly sun-faded, but it's not too bad.
