Got Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures on Wii U. People are not talking about this game at all, so I got curious about it, despite watching part of an episode of the cartoon and hating it.

It comes with a glow-in-the-dark mini poster, but I actually had 2 in the box. Weird.

Game is pretty good, if you got it free that's even better :P

So there's where my luck's gone. htimreimer stole it!

I've been buying some Steam games but haven't added them to my collection yet. I did find some things I needed at the flea market today:

Xbox controller extension cable - $2
Xbox "Advanced AV Pack" (that thing you can plug into an Xbox to get S-Video output) - ... $5. I hated having to pay that much, but I'm NEVER going to find any other first party Xbox items this cheap locally.

That used to be a standard price for Galactic Attack. Not anymore. I think some collectors finally realized that horribly named game is Layer Section. Not that Layer Section is a better name... but the name "Galactic Attack" wreaks of being a crappy 32bit era game.

But the title allows it to slip through the cracks.

Thanks for the replies.  I have tried it out and it works perfect!  I kept losing to Donkey Kong in Tennis but that's fine with me.  I had to box it again and put on the shelf  :)  When I get some really cool games like Wario or something, I"m going to pull it back out and play again.  @Soera, sorry I did not mean to post it under August.  That was a mistake.  Anyone know if there was any way to connect two Virtual Boys to play on multiplayer?

Stickers on game cases and CDs and such aren't a big deal, you can get them off pretty easily. It's when they put them right on the covers of comic books that drive me insane. I've tried to suggest to them why most people will never buy a comic book if they do that, but they don't care.

Your AVATAR just freaking me out!  I was reading the comments and then I seen something red glow at the corner of my eye and I was like "what the heck!?"  Took me a minute to find out that was your red eyes of fire!  lol

Yea sometimes they will put stickers every where and its crazy.  I seen a playstation 1 there before, and it had 3 stickers on top of the console, 2 on the bottom, 1 on the controller, 1 on the av cord, and when i popped open the cd cover, there was 2 there.  I guess people got smart and maybe switch labels with another item to get them for cheaper or something.

Two recent ebay pickups. Neither at fantastic prices, but neither at horrible prices. Shipping by itself takes it over my standard game cost.  >:(

Corpse Killer 32x $8 shipped - Believe it or not, I'm very excited to play this game. I love Digital Pictures games. Plus, it's one more down on the 32X list, which is getting really short.

Alex Kidd in Shinobi World 8.99 £ on ebay - The last Alex Kidd game I needed. I stress 'I' because I am not looking for the BMX game. Shinobi world is supposed to be the best though. I also got it in the red label, because #$%# blue labels.

I haven't had many physical game finds, most of the sellers here didn't set up because of the bad weather we've had, so... I've been adding to my Steam collection lately. Here's what I've gotten during this past month, courtesy of several bundles and sales:

The Walking Dead: 100 Days (Amazon.)
Star Trek (2013) - got this from a friend who bought it for me from Impulse (Gamestop) for $3.74. They region locked me outta it, so I asked for help.
Orcs Must Die 2 GOTY (Humble Bundle)
Mafia II Digital Deluxe
Gumboy Tournament - free from a guy at Cheapassgamer.
99 Spirits (part of a bundle)
Midnight Mysteries 1 through 4 - $2.50 (part of a bundle)
Papo & Yo - $1
Rush Bros. / Bad Bots / Who's That Flying - $3.90 (part of a bundle)
Dishonored Game of the Year (traded a glitched price copy for some DLC.)
Typing of the Dead: Overkill - $4.80 (after discount + coupon + store credit at GreenManGaming.)

And I have some plans for the near future... as soon as the Steam sale begins.

Picked up Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure CIB for PS1 for $2.50

The jealousy. The jealousy! Nice find!



I just bought PaRappa the Rapper for PSP but I'm kind of disappointed with the gameplay. The game seems extremely picky on the precision, I'm usually good at rhythm games but I totally suck at this one. I can't tell if I'm just out of sync, or if the sound and button input are too delayed. And the fact that the delay between "person you have to mimic" and "you mimic" is never the same from time to time, so it's really hard to keep it up. Maybe it's better further in the game, but for now it didn't impress me at all :(

No need. It's already weird enough playing a huge Game Gear, with a Master Converter in it, and a Master System cartridge which is 3/4 the size of the Game Gear. It's quite bulky when it's all hooked up.

I got an Interworks Unlimited Controller Pro U in the mail today. It was $10 on Amazon the other day. I got it mainly for Wii emulators. It's more than a little misleading. It doesn't work as a Wii U Oro Controller. It works as a Wiimote and is supposed to work as a classic controller. I can only get it to work as a Wiimote.
I'm going to keep trying if out; but as of right now, I think I wasted $10

Well I was supposed to receive several games from Amazon today. Instead they sent me 2 Twilight books...

I did manage to pick up a NEW and SEALED Final Fantasy VII for $3.50 though. Greatest Hits version, but still, great deal.

That stuff sucks.   

Agreed

I definitely didn't order the books just to clear that up lol. They already gave me a return label and free 1 day shipping to reorder, which is pretty cool because it's Saturday delivery, so the shipping was going to be $18.

So did you order games from one amazon seller and the same seller accidentally sent books, or you just got a random package that was incorrect.  That's happened to me before

I got a sweet deal yesterday on Kijiji, though the trip to get them was pretty disturbing. Nothing too big, but still a few good games. For PS2, I got Kingdom Hearts, Crash Tag Racing, Final Fantasy X-2 and Metal Gear Solid 2 for $2 a piece, and for Wii I got Prince of Persia: Rival Swords, and No More Heroes for $4 a piece!


Now that I opened the door to the story, for the curious, I took the subway to meet the seller. On the trip to the meeting, there were security agents in the wagons, which was unusual but I didn't wonder much about the purpose of their presence. When I came back, there was a creepy guy about 3 seats from me, with a wooden club that had many nails planted all around (the nails were sticking out, about 3 inches each). He was talking to himself while hitting regularly around him with the club, it was pretty creepy. He finally got off, then at the next station, there were cops EVERYWHERE, they stopped the subway and searched every wagon before letting us go. All in all, I don't know what happened, but damn that was weird and kinda frightening. Definitely the weirdest trip I made to buy a few games  :o

I was in Game Xchange yesterday looking around.  I noticed 3 NES games behind the counter.  So, naturally I asked about them.  The guy in there said they didn't work.  I asked what they wanted for the broken games. 
I walked out with T&C Surf Designs, Legend of Kage, some other common I can't remember right now for the low low price of FREE.  I've only met 1 game I couldn't get to work.  I'm going to bust out the alcohol and q-tips when I get home today.

GTA on PC was the game that made them famous. That PS1 version wouldn't have happened if it hadn't come out on PC first. :P

I hope it's controller compatible. Because I couldn't imagine playing a Tomb Raider game with a keyboard and mouse.

Recent purchases:

From Amazon Warehouse Deals:
AC/DC Fan Pack (PS2 version) - includes the AC/DC Rock Band Track Pack game for PS2, a concert DVD, and a shirt;
Spider-Man: Friend or Foe (PC) - I thought I'd be getting a USA version... but nope, I got an European one. And it had no manual. I'm not sure if the game even included one... it doesn't need a key to install so who knows.
$10 shipped for both. I took a gamble and got something okayish. :)

From the flea market:
Aero Fighters Assault, Zelda: Ocarina of Time N64 carts - $5 each.
Punch-Out (no Mike Tyson) - $4
These were bought for trading purposes. Hint hint. :P

From Steam:
Call of Juarez: Gunslinger ($4.50 at Ubisoft's store)

I got 4 new games today! EB Games had a deal on where you trade in one game worth $15 or more and you got one of a select group of 3DS games so I was able to pick up:
Pokemon X
Pokemon Y
Zelda: A Link Between Worlds
Mario & Luigi..... whatever the newest one is called. I had wanted to get Luigi's Manson but they were all sold out :(
Still I was able to trade in 4 extra copies of games that I had gotten for next to free so it was a great day :D

Also I bought the Christmas Skylander Jolly Bumble Blast for $10

Curiosity got me. I downloaded NES Remix today. I can say I have spent $15 on far worse. It's fun little challenges. We've all but mastered these games. I like it when they shake things up. Try the first level of Donkey Kong without jumping. That's tough.

I once bought Loco Roco at EB Games and the guy put Loco Roco 2 in the box instead... I had to drive aaaall the way back, because I only noticed when I wanted to play. I hate that they put a sticker to "seal" the games before handing them to you, because I want to have scissors to cut the sticker at the center (since it's round, it's easier to remove that way), so I have to wait all the way home to open it and see if they didn't mess up...  :o

SNES
- Final Fantasy II
- Final Fantasy III
- Super Metroid

Then later that weekend a package arrived:
- Wii U (Skylanders Swap Force bundle)

I picked up to play on it:
- Super Mario 3D World

Nintendoland is actually way more fun than I was expecting.  We had a blast with it yesterday when a friend came by.

Nintendo DS: Digimon World: Dawn, Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Blue Rescue Team
Gamecube: Harvest Moon Magical Melody ($10 sealed at Canadian Tire, that was surprising), Megaman Network Transmission
PS3: Cursed Crusade (Finally a game to play with my boyfriend!), Demon's Souls, Book of Spells

At one time I had almost 20 pairs of Docs (worked at a shoe store for almost 2 years from 93-95 and got myself a lot). I have 3 pairs I still own now.

Yep, same here. I started with surplus store combat boots when I was 13 or 14, moved to Gripfasts, then Docs, and haven't looked back since. I wouldn't mind maybe a pair of Fluevogs too, but the ol' Docs are trusty as ever - the pair being replaced have been in constant use for 7 years!

I know a couple people with the Oxblood ones, but all women, oddly enough. Gotta love a cute girl in a skirt and Docs :)

I'm also a Doc guy.  Been wearing them since the 90's because they look great and last forever.  I've only owned four pair over that period -- 2 pairs of boots, 1 oxfords and 1 sandals.  I think my sandals are almost ten years old now, but the stitching is finally starting to come undone.

Right now I have 2 pairs of steel toed boots (black and brown) and a pair of the black/white wing tips. I miss my blue boots the most as well as a weird green colored pair of shoes that had a cushioned edge around the top. Otherwise I cant really wear the shoes cause the leather top is hard and cuts into the back of my leg.

Now that this thread has me thinking about the ox blood, I may start looking for a pair again.

And yes, absolutely hot to see a cute girl in a skirt and docs. :)

Post by: Oheao on December 26, 2013, 06:11:35 pm
Okay, I tried to add pictures, but I give up. I got a number of games, I guess I'll try to do them in a specific order. It was a total of 25 games, with 1 being a game I already owned, but a loose copy, and 4 being games that I had owned at one point in my life, as well as 20 that I have never owned.

The majority of the games were from my trip to the USA to see my family. That seems to be where all of the good deals are. A small note, all of these trips to the stores involved me, my twin brother, and my uncle.

The first thrift store we went to, I got 3 games ($2 each):
1. Splinter Cell: Conviction (XBox)
2. NHL 2005 (PlayStation 2)
3. NFL Blitz 20-02 (Nintendo GameCube)

 At the next thrift store we went to, our uncle bought us Spider-Man 2 for the PS2. Funnily enough, he also bought us that game years ago, but we gave it away when our PS2 broke.

After that, we went to a flea market, and from one guy we got:
1. Super Pinball (SNES) $5
2. Battle Arena Toshinden Remix (SAT) $5
3. Robotica (SAT) $5

We went to another merchant, and got a few more games:
1. 007: The World Is Not Enough (PS1) $5, we used to have this when we were younger
2. Goofy's Fun House (PS1) $7, another game we had when we were younger
3. Hydlide (NES) $15, I already owned this, but it was CIB and almost mint condition

The next day, we got some more games at another flea market.
1. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 (PS1) $5, we used to have this when we were younger
2. NHL FaceOff (PS1) our uncle paid for this one. Interestingly enough, this was the first game that his wife (our aunt) ever bought for him

When we got home to their house, their alcoholic neighbour came over, and brought some games for us:
Mia Hamm Soccer (N64)
WCW Mayhem (N64)
Turok 2 (N64)
These were the only non CIB games that we got, but I would have felt bad if I declined the games. Of course, he got drunk, fell a few times and broke some things, so my aunt and uncle angrily kicked him out.

The next day, we went to Blockbuster, and got some more games:
1. Anarchy Reigns (PS3) $14
2. Max Payne 3 (PS3) $14

These were just before Christmas day.

On the actual Christmas, my parents bought me:
1. The Last Of Us (PS3)
2. FIFA 14 (PS4)

My brother bought me Mario Kart 7 for the 3DS

My grandpa also got us LittleBigPlanet 2 for the PS3.

On Boxing Day, I went to Giant Tiger, which may seem weird to some, but I got some good deals:
1. Otomedius Excellent (XBox 360) $6
2. Blades Of Time (XBox 360) $6
3. The Shoot (PS3) $6
4. Zone Of The Enders HD Collection (PS3, Limited Edition) $20

I am now the proud owner of a brand-new, black 3DS XL! So excited!

What's awesome, is that I bought it at Wal-Mart, because I had a measly little $10 Gift Card that I put towards it. Lucky for me, they had an unadvertised promotion that anyone that bought a 3DS XL today, got a free $50 Wal-Mart Gift Card! SCORE!

The games I got with it:

-The Legend of Zelda: Link Between Worlds (the biggest reason I wanted a 3DS)
-New Super Mario Bros. 2
-Resident Evil: Revelations
-Super Mario 3D Land

And I plan on using the $50 gift card to order Scribblenauts Unlimited on Wal-Mart's website.

I am one happy gamer!

What's awesome, is that I bought it at Wal-Mart, because I had a measly little $10 Gift Card that I put towards it. Lucky for me, they had an unadvertised promotion that anyone that bought a 3DS XL today, got a free $50 Wal-Mart Gift Card! SCORE!

One of us! One of us!  ;D So many amazing games to play on the 3DS, I've been playing with mine almost everyday for 6 months straight. Great deal, by the way!

Santha CLaus ignored me this year, so i decided to handle things by myself :)

At the top, we can see an Epyx Fast loader for the Commodore 64 (present from a good friend).

i  bought a commodore vic-20 and look how complete it is: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/COMMODORE-VIC-20-COMPUTER-PERSONAL-COLOR-GAMING-SYSTEM-S-N-P1051534-W-ALIEN-GAME-/171203142826?

And you got it for a $1 and change?! Outstanding! I'm not on the lookout for a Vic-20 (the C64 was far better, I thought). But for that price, I'd even get a Sega Pico.

Thanks  :)  Yea I had to look up a commercial on youtube about the NGage.  I see people play games on their phones all the time now (except for me) but I guess in 2003 it did not catch on.  I forgot to add those were 2.99 each.  I almost did not see them.  I was looking through the vhs tapes from a distance, and noticed some grey plastic that looked like the bottom of a ds case or something, I thought what the heck was that and went over to the shelf , grabbed and seen Laura Croft so I then knew it was game related lol

Love this game! One of my all-time favorite RPGs. The battle-system is really cool and keeps random-battles from getting too repetitive because you're always experimenting to try and figure out new combos (unless you cheat and use a strategy guide).

I got 10 games from my uncle, who came over for a Christmas party:
SOCOM U.S. Navy SEALs: Fireteam Bravo (PSP)
Capcom Vs. SNK 2 EO (GC)
Chicken Little (GC)
Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door (GC)
Animal Crossing (GC)
Mario Party 7 (GC)
WCW/NWO Revenge (N64)
Hybrid Heaven (N64)
Banjo-Kazooie (N64)
Mario Kart 64 (N64)

All of these games were loose, so I guess that I'll have to repurchase CIB copies of them. My goal of all of my games being CIB seems to get further and further out of reach.

He's running his online store during the holidays? I was looking for some C64 carts, he emailed that he'd see what he had and get back to me but he hasn't as of yet which was well over a week ago. I assumed he was probably off during the holidays but now it seems like he's working? Better email him again.

Games I bought and received for the month of December:

Sega Genesis:
Disney's Aladdin

Sega Dreamcast:
Evolution: The World Of Sacred Device
Evolution 2: Far Off Promise: seller sold the game for free.  After I paid for the game on Amazon, the merchant checked for the package delivery and was informed that the package was never scanned.  Assuming the package was lost, the merchant issued me a full refund.  If the package was delivered, however, the merchant told me to not bother returning the payment and just inform them if I did so.  Received the game and proceeded to give them Positive Feedback.  As if they needed mine, they retained 100% Positive Reviews.  Still, the condition of the game and the service was amazing.  Merry Christmas to me!

Xbox:
Enclave

Games bought but are not added to my collection:
Landstalker (Genesis)
Streets Of Rage Series(Genesis): gifts for my brother

Also...  Thank you to burningdoom for selling me his Enclave (Xbox) and Streets Of Rage Series (Genesis).

Welcomed the newest adoption to my home today...

...My 1st Wii  ;D

Bought it from Soera because:

A).  He had 2 of them -and-

B).  It was the B/C & original version - which was the only one that I was interested in.
