New Acquisitions, Volume 2

I found a couple of things today:

First, I switched box art on the complete "Sega Classics" copy of Columns that I picked up the other day for the original, black insert. Next I went to a series of pawn shops and bought:

1.Bubsy, SNES, v. fine, cart only, $0.49
2. Final Fight, SNES, v. fine, cart only, $0.49
3. Ken Griffey, Jr.'s Winning Run, SNES, v. fine, cart only, $0.49
4. Kirby Super Star, SNES, minor label damage, cart only, $0.49
5. 2nd copy of Kirby Super Star, v. fine, cart only, $0.49
6. NBA Jam, SNES, v. fine, cart only, $0.49
7. Super Turrican, SNES, v. fine, cart only, $0.49
8. PaRappa The Rapper, PS1, n. mint, complete, $4.99
9. Syphon Filter 3 non-GH, PS1, n. mint, complete, $3.95
10. Full Auto, X360, n. mint, complete, $19.95
11. Xbox 360 remote control, Microsoft brand, n. mint but no packaging or literature, $9.95
12. Dance Dance Revolution Extreme 2, PS2, v. fine, complete, $8

The SNES and PS1 games are trade fodder.

[QUOTE="usagi704"]Cool finds gmsnpr! I'm especially fond of PaRappa since it was the original music game and it got me into the genre. I picked up today: Guitar Hero II, PS2, new, $49.99 Dark Cloud 2, PS2, complete, mint, $14.99 ----- I also wanted to pick up Dark Cloud and The Bouncer, but neither of them had their manuals, but I might go back and get them anyway. EB had two used copies of Resident Evil: DS on the shelf, but claimed they didn't actually have either of the game carts! Don't know how they managed that.jollyroger78

For GHII, did you get the bundle or just the game? If you got the bundle, which guitar did it come with?

Nice finds, I wish I could find SNES carts at that price.

I got a Halloween/Texas Chainsaw Massacre Atari 2600 Double Ender (reproduction, they're too pricey for the real ones) in the mail today, was $50 shipped CDN.

Also got Terminator 2: Arcade Game, Terminator 2: Judgment Day, Ecco the Dolphin and Ecco Tides of Time for Game Gear. Total price was $9.

For real, I need to move to a state with more meth addicts.

Meth's big in Toronto, but Ontario's a province, not a state.  It is, so far as I'm aware, a town or city somewhere in the US.

However, I don't find a lot of Canadian buys for SNES games (that's all I'm really collecting these days), and after the 3 week waiting period for customs to pull that rod out of their asses, I'm really reluctant to buy from the US again, at least for the time being.

Also, that long list of SNES games is great find; Alien 3, True Lies and - despite its shortness - X-Caliber 2097 are all great finds.  I was going to look for Knights of the Round, but with the new Capcom arcade compilation coming out for the XBox (and KotR is in it), I'm not going to bother; the arcade version is much better.

Come to Illinois...I live in a town not-so-affectionately known as "Methtoon."

Just won an ebay auction!

Startropics, Urban Champion, NFL Football for $6.55 US shipped. Always wanted to play Startropics!
bretthorror

Startropics is supposed to be pretty good, I'll add that to the wishlist right now.

Yeah, but when you do buy it and play it, Nintendo got a little shifty when producing the game. The story goes Nintendo was pissed at places renting out their games. What used to be the norm when you rented games? The manual was always missing. So, in Startropics, they took a stab at the video stores. At a certain point in the game, a screen pops up and tells you to take the secret piece of paper that was in the box when you bought the game. You had to put it in water and it revealed the secret code you needed to get further in the game.

I read that when looking the game up. Imagine how mad you'd be if in the middle of a game you rented and needed the secret code. Now it's no problem as it can be found anywhere online, but back then, boy oh boy. Bad Nintendo. ;)
bretthorror

Shoulda waited...picked these up while waiting for Wal-Mart to patch a tire.

-Bully (PS2)-retail...can't remember exactly what it was.
-Gun (Xbox)-$9.72...hooray pre-launch price drops!!!

The **** gamestop shirt specifically. People I work with tend to frown on things like that and I need as much good will at work as possible, atm.gmsnpr

Got a tip about a nearby town's local used game store and I stopped in to see what they had. They have stuff going all the way back to the 2600, so it was pretty cool. usagi704

Ugh, well I was not suppose to be buying games right now, but I was stuck waiting for someone and there was a Gamestop and well... (All used, all complete) Justification in red.

XIII - PS2 - $3.59 Kind of always wanted it, finally hit my price point.

The Bouncer - $6.29 Launch title, non-RPG from Square, had not seen it for a while.

Rygar - PS2 - $6.29 See justification for XIII.

Tak and the Power of Juju - PS2 - $8.99 No idea, I must be brainwashed from reading so much Play magazine.

Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies $6.29 I think Waffle mentioned he liked this.

Kingdom Hearts 2 $35.99 Inevitable purchase, nice non GH case in good condition.

Dual Hearts $8.99 Gmsnpr said it was kinda hard to find.

Star Wars Rogue Leader Rebel Squadron $6.29 No idea.

Enclave - XB - $4.49 Noticed that Starbreeze had something to do with it and they had something to do with Riddick.
