Well, first let me say that I am mainly a NES collector so I do not pay a lot of attention to retro items that aren't of the NES and SNES genre. However, I saw these at my local GW today and couldn't pass them up. I know most Genesis games aren't worth a whole lot, but these were just too pretty not to buy. All the games are incredibly mint. I didn't own the system, so I figured I'd pick it up for such a low price($5). Anyway, just posted these on here for some feedback from those who are far more knowledgable about these genres than I.

Genesis Games (All mint CIB):

Golden Axe
Thunder Force III
Thunder Force II
Phantasy Star III (with full strategy guide, looks brand-new)
Phelios
Ghostbusters
Pirates Gold
Mystic Defender
Ghouls'N Ghosts
Flashback

Gameboy Games:

Bubble Bobble
Kirby's Dream land
Kung-Fu
Metroid II
TMNT: Fall of the Footclan
Fist of the Northstar
The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons
The Legend of Zelda: Links Awakening (Mint Manual)

2 SNES Controllers
1 Genesis Controller

Sega Genesis (2nd Gen?)
Gensis 32x Attachment

All-in-all, I paid $60. Here are a few pics.

Thanks, Yeah I really wasn't sure at the time because I no so little about Genesis. I knew at $1.49-$1.99 a pop, the GB games were a steal.

The few thrift stores in my town officially suck. Goodwill never has anything and the other place that gets more games in sells them for stupid prices. Adventures of Bayou Billy for $10. NES system in crappy condition for $60. Come on... what? But they do it because people will pay that much.

I usually hit up my local GW 3 times a week. One thing that kills me though is my local area GWs have started selling organized lots of games on eBay(http://myworld.ebay.com/seattlego...). Good for them, horrible for me. I can't imagine the stuff I would see if they weren't withholding items for the internet. This one must have slipped through the cracks!
