March 2014 stuff for the 5th best month of the year

[Mick Dundee]

  It’s getting really hard to find those inlays.

Im surprised there isnt a spot for scans of those somewhere around here. The REALLY old systems used those things too, right?

[Lashek]

Picked up most of this on EBay. Infamous came from a local game store.



NES:
ArchRivals CIB ($20 and in fantastic condition)

PS4:
Infamous: Second Son

And for the rest, I ended up sniping bidding at the last second. The price was too good not to place a bid when I saw it. $27 for the lot listed below:

Grape Gameboy Color (minor damage to the labels on the back, no scratches or anything on unit though)
Gameboy console/game case (I have no use for this)

Gameboy/GBC:
A Bugs Life
Game Genie (complete with the little booklet of codes)
Game and Watch 3
Killer Instinct
Megaman Xtreme
Metroid II: Return of Samus

The Atari 5200 used them as well. 

If people are interested in making inlays for the Atari Jaguar system, I can upload scans of the inlays that I have:
          •   Wolfenstien 3D
          •   Doom
          •   Alien vs. Predator (all 3 - Alien, Predator, Marine)

Here are all the games I got from Super! Bitcon gaming convention I attended today:











After talking to segamer about Mighty Final Fight for the NES, I finally couldn't resist the urge to not buy and ended up picking it up at the convention. The guy gave me a pretty good deal since the label had some markings on it.

You got some really good nes games in there!

Welcome to the world of owning Mighty Final Fight!

[Megatron]

My local game store had a "Gamer's Exchange" today, kinda like a flea market for video games.  Lots of over priced stuff, but some really good deals if you're willing to look.

Got this lot for $31 (with $5 coupon for liking on Facebook).  Price is combined, items from 4 different vendors.



Individual prices listed:
Final Fantasy II Famicom - $5
Batman Famicom - $5
Battletoads (some label damage) - $9
Phantasy Star II (label damage) - $6
Shadow of the Beast - $2
Sword of Sodan - $1
Ecco the Dolphin Complete - $2
Donkey Kong 64 - $15

After haggling, I got the total for all down to $36, and then $31 with coupon.

Is your local game store estarland Megatron? I always think about going to one of their gamer exchanges each month but can't seem to justify the 2 hr drive. They look fun though.

Yes, Estarland is the place.  The Gamer Exchanges are always hit or miss.  For some more expensive items, like Megaman X-2, PS1 RPGs, Zelda titles, etc. they are pretty much market value, with some haggle room. Especially if you buy a lot from one vendor.  The little stuff is unpredictable, but I always leave feeling like I got a good deal.  This year they had a vendor selling snes repros for like $45-$50 bucks. 

What I would recommend is liking them on facebook.  They tend to post pictures of what the vendors are selling a few days in advance.  If you see something, I think it's worth the trip.  Just get there early, because when it starts there is a line out the door, and any mega deals are gone soon.

My aunt gave these to me

[BadChad]

Nice, sweet aunt! Hope you gave her a big hug for those.

Still waiting for the day my aunt is going to hand over her old NES, SNES, and Genesis collections I grew up playing with. Their hiding away in some box in a corner somewhere for years not being used, but for some reason she's not willing to let it go yet whenever I ask about it. But I'll be the first to know when she does!

Pretty sure some of my old NES games are in there too from when I got rid of my original NES years back. Would be cool to have those back knowing they were actually mine that I use to have from when I was younger.

My final lot for the month. Came in today for lunch... Yay!

My final lot for the month. Came in today for lunch... Yay!

Jeez thats an awesome pickup. You got like 4 of the more expensive and rare games for the saturn. Shining Force III happens to be my favorite game in the series and Magic Knight Rayearth is one of the better Saturn games around imo. Nice haul

[segamer]

I'm pretty happy. I got my tax return this month. I just wanted to get some of the more painful games to purchase off my list.
