Hey guys. I went to the "Too Many Games" Game show in PA last Sunday. I didnt find as much cheap stuff as i did last year, but it still wasnt bad. It was pretty cool and picked up some cool items. Heres what i picked up>



Picked up All the Game Player Tapes and Got all the Worlds of Power Books, and The other nintendo guides and mario Tapes, and cards for $50.00. And all the Game Tapes were sealed!

Ninja Gaiden 3 Box $4.00
Kid Icarus Box and Manual $4.00
Mike Tysons Punch Out Letter and Manual for like $9.00
Dk JR. Box and Manual $4.00
Crash n the Boys Box $4.00
Rampage Box $3.00
Hillsfar Cart $13.00
RC Pro Am II for $15.00

Goldenaxe 2 Cib $5.00
Shinobi III Cib $5.00
Mutant League Football $5.00
Spiderman CIB $5.00
Splatterhouse 2 and 3 Cib in a trade

Also check out this pic right here of the Mega Man 2 book. They actually went through the trouble and removed the blaster from mega mans hand? I guess cause it was sold in schools


The books are real cool. They are actually like Novels written about the games.

I have wanted those Worlds of Power Books for a long time. They are pretty cheap on Amazon, but I have just never bought them. The Game Players tapes are cool also, I have a few of them too. I am trying to stay away from this sort of stuff for now though, I don't have enough room for it all. Great stuff though, congrats.

I didn't even know books like that existed. Kinda neat!

Mega Man looks retarded with the blaster before, but now he just looks silly!

Old aunts used to come up to me at weddings, poking me in the ribs and cackling, telling me, "You're next." They stopped after I started doing the same thing to them at funerals.

Hey dude. yea it was a good time. It was only a couple hours from where i lived, even though i didnt happen to find as much as i did last year it was still fun. Although last year was like a freak acdident. lol Heres everything i found the year before at the same show>>

I got every game in this picture for $6.00 Each and all from the same seller last time!



This was insane. Ms. Pacman was Factory Sealed Adventure island 2 Factory Sealed Bubble Bobble 2 Cart only for 6 bucks!! I was in disbelief on these guys prices.Scored the Wacky Races CIB, and a lot of the unliscensed games i needed as well, the pal games on the right stack are noahs ark, dropzone, and de schlumpfe (smurfs). So when i left that day i was very very happy with my purchases lol.

Unfortunately the guy i got all this from Wasnt there this year. But i basically HAD to go this year again, in hopes this same person would be there lol. He was selling everything for great prices last year. :-)

Yah I kept proverbially looking over my shoulder on the forums, to make sure someone's collection didn't turn up missing or anything for months after that. I got your sloppy seconds and still made out like a bandit, $100 for F2 mint loose and Aladdin+all games NISB, and a ton of unliscenceds for $5 ea incl King Neptune, OSS, among others. I'd like to think this guy just didn't know/didn't care, but everything in his two bins was a certified hit. I wish I knew more about the hobby then I would have spent three times as much.

I hear ya there bro! I know i was like pretty much stunned about all this stuff he had and i was confused on what to buy lol. So much in disbelief that i even ended up passing up a sealed Sunday funday (im sure i prolly could have gotten thrown in for 6 bucks lol) sealed Bibble buffet, A cib mission cobra, and im sure a bunch of other stuff. Lots of nice loose nes games, panic restraunt, and he had 2 copies of snow brothers for $10.00 each lol. It was just insane. But ive never been too much on buying doubles for profit, plus i wasnt as "vintage game smart" as i am now so i knew i left some good stuff behnd. I really couldnt believe how long that F2 set there before you bought it. It was there for awhile! i was like "man im gonna be forced to buy this at the end of the day cause no one wants it" lol. Glad it ended up in good hands. Plus it was good to meet ya at the last show. Good luck next year :-)
