Came home for the weekend ready to shop ;)

Key of Heaven PSP- $20

Ultimate Ghosts and Goblins PSP- $20

Tales of Phantasia GBA- $9.88

All new

They also had Pitfall Mayan Adventure GBA for $9.88 which is cheap but the top of the box was cut off and had no manual... :(

aspro73

I had not heard of Key of Heaven. Also, I drove through your town on hte way ot Sydney last week and saw a store named, "Cartridge World". You can probably imagine how disappointed I was to find out they sell ink cartridges, not retro games.

Disgaea (PS2)- $30 Near-Mint used

Disgaea 2 (PS2)- $25 Near-Mint used

Aetilear Iris (PS2)- $25 Mint used

Final Fantasy Adventure (GB)- $5.99 used cart only

Super Smash Bros Brawl (Wii)- New $50

And with those games, I am officially at 700 games! (will be refleced in collection once SSBB is selectable)

There was a Cartidge World in Illinois when I was on a business trip and I went from exhuberant to arsonist.

Heh... I've been really tempted to invest in a palm pilot or something of the sort to keep track of which games I own and which games I should be on the look out for while I'm out shopping. Something like that would likely keep many of us from buying unwanted duplicates.

The Ren and Stimpy Show: Time Warp - SNES, cart only $10

Harvest Moon - SNES, cart+manual $47 (now I have a complete harvest Moon)

Point Blank - PS1, Case + disc $10

Command and Conquer Revolations - PS1, Complete $10

I don't feel like commentig on you anymore... you have surpassed comments and moved on to a buisness like stamp.

I got FFVIII for free... it's mint and complete but the first disc doesn't work... not sure what to do about it at the moment... but when I find one locally... I'll know... it looks like it was game Dr'd or otherwise fixified... which as you all know... doesn't fixify at all.

waflerevolution

Sweet, how'd you get the free copy? I know you're not particularly fond of FF, but VIII is my second favorite in the entire series (IV is first). The only thing I don't particularly like about VIII is having to draw magic from enemies. It's just a little too tedious. Other than that, everything else about the game is wonderful!

I hope you get your hands on a better copy.

And... you get +2 points for "fixified".

I'll probably give it to one of my nephews (or sell it to a gamestop down here if they buy international games). When I buy something now it goes to my old address, is then forwarded to an international mail forwarder and then goes to AU, so it's basically imposible to stop that supply chain once it has been set in motion. :(

I was just kidding by the way. I'll pick it up at a store somewhere eventually. So, how long are you going to be down there anyway? I thought you were just visiting for a while, but I guess it's a little more extended than that huh? A work thing?

Can you elboarte in a seperate thread about the wisdom tree games? I think it would be of interest to many collectors. (Please! Plearse!)

there was a Lemming for the NES? aspro73

Yeah, I never played it, but I remember seeing lots of pictures of it in my Nintendo Power back in the day.

[QUOTE="GAMECAMILLER"]

RPGs that inspired me to buy graph paper and make dungeon maps.gmsnpr

For me that was the original Legend of Zelda. Specifically the final dungeon of the first and second plays with Gannon. I bombed, pushed, etc. to every wall, nook, and cranny to make a complete map of everything.

another luck out.... I love seeing those.

I headed back to Hollywood Video to nab those few games I later wanted to pick up and hit the motherload. I found a crap load of rarer PS2 and Xbox games, as well as some 360, so I baught one and popped the rest on my hold shelf. I now have a crap load of stuff on that shelf, so to recap what I have put aside, here is the complete list:

Many would consider me to be an anti-Nintendo fanboy, but in all honesty, I love SSBB. It is absolutely fantastic, and once my brother and I beat story mode, we can really get some Brawlin' done.

Oh yeah, that's a must. Unlocked Snake & Lucario last night. Had to play through as at least the former last night, his moves are definately cool. Once I've got them all unlocked I'll probably go into some major brawling.

I was sick of it a week ago when it was already the only thing being talked about on every gaming website. gamefaqs had it as the poll of the day subject 10 out of 14 days the last 2 weeks.

Big C4 - nice going. Even though you'll have to deal with all that rental labelling, $8 is a great deal, I'm pretty sure if I didn't already have those games I'd be doing the exact same thing.

It's a good thing that I somehow managed to avoid the hype while spending all night on gaming sites. I prefer to enjoy games instead of just hating on them for being popular.

Yeah. One nice thing about working at Gamestop is that if I find an original case, I can swap the rental one with it.

I picked up 4 games today, three of which were free!

without instruction book, $10

complete, free as a gift from the manager of Hollywood Video.

in rental case, free due to it being unsellable. There is a bit of plastic missing from the middle of the disc, so it might not work, but if it doesn't, no big deal.

in rental case, free due to it being unsellable. There are some surface scratches on the top of the disc, but once again, I figure I'd give it a shot. If it doesn't work, no big deal.

I also added:

in rental case to my hold shelf over there, because the trade in value is $11, so I'll make a decent profit later on.

I also found an original case for:

and will probably pay $20 for a copy of:

in rental box. Apparently, there is yet another copy of this at Hollywood, and one of my Gamestop managers has it on hold, so he told me I could buy it if I could basically give him what it's worth. Sounds good to me. Now I kinda want to play it...

Today, I picked up 5 games:

Great Greed, GB, $1.79

Mega Man Dr Wily's Revenge, GB, $9

Legend of the River King 2, GBC, $4.50

Cosmo Tank, GB $3.79

Street Fighter Alpha, GBC, $9

Don't know how I missed that one the first time around. Probably because I reflexivly ignore anything relating to Star Wars.
