These were all online though, impossible to find retro stuff here anywhere. Unless of course you want to pay retarded PAL prices and then a hefty retail markup on top of that.

Ah, so it's more or less the same than here in Finland then. We have a few stores that sell retro games but the prices are out of this world. Most of my game purchases comes from various auction sites and from other game enthusiasts.  But here's the latest pickups:



Both were loose carts which I put into original Megadrive boxes with covers from this site. 8 $ for Comix Zone and 15 $ for Castlevania.

WalGreens had 3 of these left over from Christmas, and the manager gave me 75% off, so it was only $13.33 out the door! I'm so excited about it! It's tons of fun, and if i can find my MEGADRIVE games, it will play those TOO. It's so much fun playing Sega games on a 37" Flat Screen, which i've NEVER done before.  It has GOLDEN AXE III, which has NEVER sold in the USA (in hard copy) before! But, my love is for GAIRES, and other shoot'em-ups!



So, what MEGADRIVE game should I get, especially if that game NEVER sold on SEGA GENESIS? I'd like to try this out!

That's a really interesting system, I've never heard of it. Wireless controllers? Is it kind of like a Genesis reboot, as in, totally legit and not some Hong Kong pirated clone console? Although I do see a lot of classic games on that list so you definately got a bargain, provided it works properly  ;D

The wireless controllers are crap. I use a wired controller
GUESS WHAT CAME TODAY????

that's RIGHT! Universal Game Cases! And some DVD cases for Disc Games...because CLEAR is BETTER!

The NEW one on the left are much clearer than the older ones on the right. Could it be from age, or just improvements in manufacturing?

Good thing I went to Office Max yesterday to print about 20 UGC cases, and a few PSONE cases for the DVD cases..
Some SNES I just put in the new cases, Phalanx(I hate the USA cover), and Brawl Brothers

Kool-Aid Man in UGC

Well, I canceled my order for Game & Wario and picked up Tekken Hybrid LE and Rune Factory ToD for the same price instead. Also picked up my copy of Project X Zone.

Got my 3rd Unikeep case, using this one for my burned Dreamcast Games. Instead of making dedicated DVD cases, I made a "compilation case" I think it turned out nice, whaddya think? Would like to redo this in semi-gloss photo paper soon...

Thanks Wiggy! By the way I'm still drooling over your murdered out black gameboy advance light! Expect an order from me soon for that puppy!  ;)

My girlfriend recently got me a gift: http://www.mediafire.com/folder/o9w9jcatddiaw/newsystem

She's been talking about having her own 360 setup so I found this TV and stand/bookcase for $40.

http://www.mediafire.com/convkey/abf1/8v5t5sjjv0yli2tfg.jpg

Also found a 250gb slim for $150. It came with a kinect, extra controller, and some crappy games I traded in for new, sealed copies of Bioshock: Ultimate Rapture Edition and Red Dead Redemption: Game of the Year Edition.

http://www.mediafire.com/convkey/ad11/ddhjre36cxgoturfg.jpg

Pretty satisfied with the TV, stand, 250 gb xbox360 slim, and the 2 games for $190.

I also got Sonic Classic Collection for DS for $20 and GTA4: Complete Edition for $30 at Walmart and found the bonus disc with Quake 2 to go with my copy of Quake 4 for free. I swapped the Quake discs to a double game 360 case because it drives me crazy when the extra disc is just flopping around in there.

I already posted this in another thread, but I got all of the games on the couch for $140. I'm broke right now. haha

I don't know if anyone else rides bicycles here, but it's my other hobby besides videogames. This isn't a recent pickup, but just for shits here's a pic of my mountain bike.

Well - there's someone at a post office somewhere who has a gigantic pickup either this month or last.  I've had 2 large lots of Master System games go missing in transit.

One from EBay, and one from SatoshiMatrix on here.  NOT HAPPY!  >:(

Looks like  I have to bring my video game hauls to the oldest game store in the area.....his prices are a bit high. My nearest Play N Trade went out of business with no freakin warning.....not sure if I had credit there still.
