Just picked up another NES game today in the wild at Game Crazy, a very minty GI Joe.  Cart shows no wear and label is very glossy.  Part of the 3 for $10 deal, also got Final Fantasy VIII and Resident Evil 2 for PS1 complete.

Paaaaper!  Have you ever seen paper?  Look at it, smell it!

Stopped in Goodwill today and picked up some lose SNES carts for $4 each:

Megaman X3 Castlevania 4 Donkey Kong Country 2

and i've been told Megaman X3 is a pretty rare game so i'm happy there, even if the label is a little worn. ;P

To say MMx3 is rare is debatable. To say it is valuable (or at the least, a great $4 investment) is indisputable

Had a good day at the yard sales today! Found an NES with SMB/DH, RBI, 2 controllers, zapper, hookups for $5. NES looks to be pretty minty... still has a nice shine! Got Halo2 for $5. Also found a woman that was selling SNES games. She said she enjoyed playing games (mainly SNES) and was looking for some games. Of course I've got a few dupes in my trade box, so I ran home and traded some games with her. Traded my Zombies ate My Neighbours and 2 snes controllers for about a dozen snes games. Also gave her my card if she's ever looking for any other games!

Wow dude! Those are some really great finds! Battletoads & DD is very hard to find, especially sealed. I'd be just as thrilled with that as with the Flintstones 2 game!

i don't know if these count as finds in the "wild" since they were given to me by friends. a girl i used to work with said she had a nes and asked if i wanted it? of coarse how can someone pass up free nes stuff. anyway, she gave me a complete system, 2 controllers, light gun, 2 wierd wireless controllers made by acclaim, roundball, double dribble, mario/duckhunt, the wallstreet kid, rollergames, dash galaxy, fighting golf, and bump n jump. not the greatest but i have been wanting to get bump n jump. another friend gave me a sega dreamcast with about 20 games. i know its not their not the greatest finds, but hey it was free. woo hoo.

Like they say about beer -- the best beer is free bear; I don't see why that can't be applied to NES as well!

I had a very cool find eventhou its not nes or nintendo. I found a old 2xl computer robot with 6 tapes at a yard sale for 5.00 dollars. the tapes are on 8 tracks. ohhh the days eight tracks ruled. It was made in 1978 and you were the shizzle back then if you owned one.
