I honestly have never played Buck Bumble. I figured it being 2 dollars I wasn't out much if it ended up being meh. Is it any good. I typically clean all my games contacts and actual cartridges before they ever touch my systems so I might not be able to throw it in tonight. I figure collecting wouldn't be collecting if you didn't have to clean up what you find. And what list is that Dr Agon? Sorry if the list is supposed to be obvious it went over my head. :-\ And Wiggy I will keep you updated on it. I had never heard of it either. I figured for 2 dollars I couldn't pass it up.

i really liked buck bumble, the music is a little grating at times, but its a cool little take on the 3D adventure game

"the list" is my list of games i want to buy, any games i stumble across go onto it, sometime in the future i'll do a youtube search to see if i really want them...

Lastly! Not a game, but certainly game related:



The name's Davis. JDavis.

This was originally an item in Nintendo Power's Super Power Supplies Catalogue back in 1997. I wonder if it's authentic? As you mentioned though, it did come from Hong Kong...

I do the same thing with youtube when I come across a game I'm unfamiliar with. I also have a 'list'.

Got a 360 dual battery charger and an original xbox controller extension cord for a total of $1 at a thrift store.

 Got the Play Arts Cloud's Fenrir motorcycle and the Ocarina 3D 24" X 24" and window poster from one of my GameStop friends.
 He had Cloud and the bike but Cloud broke and when I told him I was interested in the bike he just gave it to me.

 Been slow so far this month.

 Oh, also got a Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate promo poster also from said GameStop

Went to a community garage sale and picked up a few random things



Silver PS2 slim with hookups $5

DS games Legendary Starfy and Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story $5 each

Cars For the DS $2 - birthday gift for the nephew

Crash 1 and 2, Um Jammer Lammy $5 total

Battlefront player's guide $0.50

Aladdin and Snow White VHS $0.25 each

Star Trek special edition, Sarah Connor Chronicles season 1 blu rays $1 each

Was kind of bummed because we looked around for 5 hours and no NES or SNES finds.  The we saw a sign on the way back for a garage sale on a dirt road .... Nothing there but the guy running the sale mentioned that there was another yard sale down the street.   We decided to check it out and drove further down the dirt road and were about to turn around when we saw the yard sale.  

Found a this in a box and got it for $30



I've never seen a black 260 in 1 cart before

Stopped at EB games on the way home and picked up The Witcher Emhanced Edition brand new for $30.



Overall a pretty decent day.

You can tell that guy was most likely the only owner and probobaly only used it during the early years of the NES. Almost all those games are CIB and are mostly black seal variants. Nice find!

No, no, the one from Nintendo Power had a hologram in the back and the health/armor bars painted on the face:



Mine is from a business in Hong Kong that puts any image you send them on a watch, or many other things. My post here:

It came from Hong Kong, and it came for cheap  ;D

...contains the link to an article with instructions and the image.

Ah yes, good eye. There are certainly many differences. Still very cool though.

I've gotta say, hella jealous about everyone's pick ups today!

Nothing too special this start of may,

I did manage to bug an employee about the new "Donkey Kong Returns" poster and was able to get that free.

Well, that and many display boxes, nothing too special.
