These are technically late March pickups, but I'll post them here because I just got around to taking pics. I haven't cleaned or tested any of them yet either. First, since RetroZone is getting out of the repro business, I figured I should stop putting off getting their NWC repro (and grab Battle Kid while I was at it) Next, hitting up my local game shop: That picture came out way blurrier than I realized. It's: NES - Gumshoe $4.99 GBA - Dragonball Z Supersonic Warriors $4.99 N64 - Wipeout 64 $3.99 (technically free due to their policy of 3 games $4.99 or less for $10) SNES - Phantom 2040 $0.99 I love the local game store here, but they have a small selection (being in a small town) and don't deal in SEGA stuff at all. There's a chain of stores (Vintage Stock) that have several locations in OKC, but since that's at least an hour's drive away I don't go to them very often; usually only on the rare occasion that one of their "buy 2 get 1" sales (usually around holidays) coincides with one of my days off. As it just so happened, they were having one for Easter weekend and I had that Saturday off. I also happened to have about a dozen Genesis sports games thanks to the box Hughes sent me that I intended to trade in. I planned out a trip to visit four of them plus the asian market in OKC. At the first store, after trading in the Genesis sports games and getting a whole $3.85 in store credit :roll: I picked up: GBA - Bubble Bobble Old & New $9.99 GBA - Drill Dozer $4.99 GB - Gargoyle's Quest $3.99 FREE That's it. Not the greatest haul, but I had more stores to hit up. At the next location I got: PSP - Lunar Silver Star Harmony $16.99 Wii - Wario Land Shake it! $14.99 (first time I've seen this one not horribly sun faded) NDS - Picross DS $9.99 FREE (I'm a bit of a picross nut, and this one's been hard to find ever since Picross 3D came out) GB - Ducktales 2 $9.99 (Didn't even know this port existed. Much more affordable than the NES version) SMS - Space Harrier $7.99 GEN - Animaniacs $3.99 FREE Nyko brand PS2->GCN controller adapter $2.99 At this point it was getting late, and I thought the asian market closed at 8 (they actually closed at 8:30), so I skipped one store and went to spend about $70 on asian food. Then I went to the last store and got: NES - Bubble Bobble $19.99 GEN - Herzog Zwei $19.99 PSP - Dissidia 012[duodecim] Final Fantasy $14.99 FREE GBA - Game & Watch Gallery 4 $4.99 NES - Barker Bill's Trick Shooting $4.99 32X - Virtua Racing $3.99 FREE SMS - Rastan $2.99 SMS - Kenseiden $2.99 NES - Pinball $2.99 FREE (thought this one had a pin converter in it, since it had the telltale asymmetrical pins, but alas: nope) ... Finally, something I got in March that isn't exactly gaming related, but is certainly retro and I imagine relative to many people here's interests: MUTAGEN! NES cart for scale. |

BadChad, yeah, had to sneak that in there :P --- Quote from: destindude04u on April 03, 2013, 04:10:15 AM ---Those are awesome looking wireless controllers, was more available to order and what kind are they? --- End quote --- They are the original Sega 1st party ones. Kind of uncommon. Just keep an eye on eBay and Amazon for a good deal on one with a receiver. You should be able to get a set (Receiver and 2 controllers) for around $50 if you want a good deal. CGR did a review of them: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubgAKns75kc --- End quote --- Figured it couldn't hurt to have extras, especially if they're cheap ;) --- End quote --- Sent you a PM ;) |
