I found these around 3 weeks ago:



GTA V - $3
GTA San Andreas - $3
Mortal Kombat Vs DC - $3
Metal Gear Solid: TTS - $4

Got a few gen 7 games I'd been wanting for a while. I've heard great things about GTA:V and I'm excited to dig into it. The Metal Gear was a great pickup and will be replacing my greatest hits version that I got a few years ago.

This last weekend:

Crash Bandicoot Wrath Of Cortex - $4
DK Country Returns WII - $5
REZ - $4
Mario Kart Double Dash (NFR)$4

Mario Kart is a double (no pun intended) so I'll be making back what I spent and more on these.



Zenith SlimsPort 286 laptop - $5

I found this at a swap meet. I have an eye out for old laptops like this. There was no power supply, but it is compatible with a normal universal adaptor. I have confirmed that it turns on and boots, but there are some lines down the screen and the hard drive may not be working. Still, it has all the ram I'll ever need (640k). Looks like I have to work to do to get it up and running. ]]> http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=10&threadid=128634 2018-07-09T18:37:54 -05.00 Evenball 127 http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=10&threadid=128634 2018-07-07T13:05:32 -05.00 Evenball 127




Plok (Sealed) $6
Overloard (CIB) $6

Plok is now my 2nd sealed SNES game along with Pac Attack which I also bought at the same store a few years back. I'm not usually into sealed collecting, but when I find one for cheap (and it's a great game like Plok) then I go for it. The bow is a little smooshed on one side sadly, no it's not perfect. You can see the wear on it.

Overlord I don't know much about, but it looks like a strategy game and looks kind of interesting. ]]> http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=10&threadid=128634 2017-09-17T00:15:56 -05.00 Evenball 127


Frogger 2 - $1
Bust A Groove 2 - $1
Turok Evolution - $2.50
NFL Street 2 - $2.50

Sequels ahoy! One guy at the swap meet had a random box full of common PS2 and Xbox games on the top, but as I dug deeper I found a few random PS1 and Gamecube titles. This all worked out perfectly as I had only 7 dollars in my pocket at the time. I've been looking for Bust A Groove 2 and NFL Street 2 for a while. I don't see those out in the wild that often and NFL Street 2 is usually around $20 when I do find it. ]]> http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=10&threadid=128634 2017-05-12T00:12:04 -05.00 Evenball 127 http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=10&threadid=128634 2017-05-11T21:47:17 -05.00 Evenball 127


Klonoa, Door To Phantomile (PS1): $49
Thousand Arms (PS1): $21
Super Monkey Ball (GCN): $5.60
Mario And Luigi Superstar Saga (GBA): $5.60

Klonoa and Thousand Arms are in very good shape. Sadly no 3D card in the Thousand Arms case, but it had all the stickers.  I find the summer months are my best bet for finding stuff most of the time, I hope things start picking up like this from now on. ]]> http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=10&threadid=128634 2016-10-31T13:40:58 -05.00 Evenball 127 Originally posted by: Evenball

... I had no idea there was a PC version of Rogue Squadron, but I'll check it out. ...
I have Rogue Squadron PC (probably multiple copies). Bought it back-in-the-day. If I recall correctly, Glide looked way better than Direct3D/OpenGL on my Voodoo Banshee and Voodoo 3 graphics cards. Even with a great Microsoft Sidewinder Precision Pro joystick, I couldn't get as far in the PC version.

​Warcraft II Battle.Net edition - $3
Warcraft II Guide - $1.50
Hellfire Expansion for Diablo I - $3
Rayman (PC) - $3
Tiger Woods 2012: The Masters (Wii, Sealed New) - $15

​I went to PRGE last weekend as well. Prices are getting higher and higher and it's getting hard to find good deals, but there are still some there.



Spryo games and Cel damage: 3 for $20
Ironsword CIB - $10
Beach Spikers - $3
Star Ocean - $7

​My biggest find in quite a while though was this working Microvision in the original box which came with 4 games. I decided to use my 30% off coupon for this one, so it was only $35. This is the first time I'd ever seen this system in a thrift store. I barely even see them at conventions.





​Now if I could only find GOOD games for this thing...

Shepherd's Crossing - $3
Stolen - $3
Zone Of The Enders - $3
Digimon World Strategy Guide - $0.25
Super Mario 2 CIB - $25

This year the swap meet finds were scarce, but I kept trying and found a few good deals. The Super Mario 2 also came with a complete copy of Shenmue for the Dreamcast. The seller had that marked at $2 and bundled it with Mario for free. That was a double, so I sold it making Mario 2 pretty much free. i'm trying to collect various strategy guides for PS1/PS2 RPG and Nintendo Power guides as well. One family just randonly had this Digimon world guide there, but not the game itself. That's a steal at $0.25.


------------------------
Super Smash Bros
Chrono Trigger
Secret Of Mana
(all from a trade)
------------------------
Super Scribblenauts - $2.10
Animal Crossing - $3.80
Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine - $14
Kirby's Return to Dreamland - $14
Zelda Wind Waker - $18.20

I had a friend over the summer get a few great deals on OfferUp. I traded him a Sega Genesis with a Sega 6-Pak game and a 6 button controller and a Gamecube with Wind Waker and Super Monkey Ball for the three games on the right. The other games I found at Value Village and I used one of my 30% off coupons to get them.


Pacman World 3 + Alan Wake - $5
Sega 6-Pak CIB - $20
Dave Mirra, Jimmy Nuetron, Call Of Duty FH, Evolution Skateboarding, Bratz Rock Angels, Top Gun (Mastiff version) - $15

I visited the seattle Retro Gaming Expo and nabbed a few games on a budget. there's nothing too special in there, but I was able to find a replacement for the 6-Pak that I traded away at Kohler's booth (thanks Chris).



Spiderman 2 - $2
Smashing Drive - $2
Alien Hominid - $10
X-Men 3 - $1
Shamu - $3
Hello Kitty Roller Rescue - $4
Double Switch CIB - $4
Lethal Enforcers - $3
2 Wavebird Recievers - $4

Sega CD games at Goodwill? It's happened to me a couple times now. Those were on the shelf there for about 5 days before I got there, so I have to wonder what I missed. I had a good laugh at X-Men III being marked at $10 and being put in the showcase at Value Village. I just waited a few weeks and bought it when the tag went to $0.99. Hello Kitty, Alien Hominid and those wavebird recievers are things I barely ever see when I go shopping so they were nice to find.



Legaia 2 - $4
Dawn Of Mana - $9
Def Jam Fight For NY - $8
SW KOTOR II - $3
Mad Maestro! (sealed) - $3
Summoner $3
Contra 4 - $25
Mickey's Speedway - 3$
Quake II - $4

I usually buy stuff from Half Price Books during their 20% off sales or their coupon sales which go up to 50% on the last day. That Contra 4 is overpriced at $50, but worth it at $25 and it's a great game too.
I got other various items over the last 4-5 months, but i think this is a pretty good sampling.
