I think it's a Hong Kong version game, but I'm no expert...ask NGD or Dain...think there were a couple other guys here that would know as well.

I had a dream last night that I found this guy that had a TON of CIB games for sale. Does that count as a weekly find?

You know you're way too involved with NES that you have dreams about it. I've had them too from time to time.

Sounds like my dream only mine was more of a nightmare, I found some CIB copies of Panesian games and I got in a car accident driving home and they were destroyed. Scarey thoughts...

I knocked a few games off my wanted list yesterday...not NES though - Darkened Skye (Gamecube), Etrian Odyssey (DS), and Izuna: Legend of the Unemployed Ninja (DS). The DS games were brand spanking new, so don't ask a price, but it's always nice to knock shit off your want list

Oh Im pissed!!!!!!! I just went to this 7 block yard sale that they have here and I missed a shit load of games.... Im pretty sure its the same guy who always buys out yard sales around here so that really got to me... I got there at 7 AM on the dot and was the first person to even check out alot of peoples stuff.... The last place I went to (which shouldve been the first since it was on the first street I passed) had a huge box full of NES and SNES games along with there systems and tons of accessories in an even bigger box beneath them (I couldnt have carried the box by myself) So I see them and hurry over to see whats inside and as I am about ready to ask what they would want for everything this lady yells at me and tells me that they were sold!!!!! aahhhh!!! I was so excited too... probably wasnt anything super special but it would have been nice to see what was in there at least.... oh well.... I came out with a few things though....

2 SNES systems 6 SNES games: 2 SMW, Robo Cop 3, Street Fighter 2 turbo, Gradius 3, and Desert Strike 2 NES games: Toki and Bionic commando and Final Fantasy 7

got it all for 25 bucks

flea markets are a hard place to find games anymore you have to catch the people as they unload or the resellers will get the stuff

A while back i went out w/ my girlfriend to some yard-sales, I had been out all day looking for some NES stuff. It was coming down to the end of the day and all I had to show for it was a trunk full of clothes and shoes for her. On a last ditch effort I stoped at a yard sale a couple street before my road heading home. I noticed that the guy there had a Ps1 setting on a table so then I saw a stack of games setting next to it. Then I hit the jackpot the nicest find ever (for me). SUIKODEN II complete in mint cond. for 3 bucks. Also got record of lodoss war (Dreamcast), Grandia, Wild arms II, and EGG (dreamcast) all for 3 dollars each! HeHe made up for the 40 bucks I spent on all those darn clothes.
