:o if I had knew that i had told my brother to pick one for me. :'(
Very excellent pick up ;)
PinBiohazard:
Really haven't picked up anything but today I picked up Complete VG, Digimon World 4 (PS2) for £1 from local Cash Converters and Loose, Legend of Zelda: Links Awakening DX (GBC) for £3 from local charity shop, oh and Silent Hill, Silent Hill 3, Silent Hill 4: The Door and Silent Hill Origins for free off a friend
Megatron:
Today started off as a Craigslist day..went to pick up a lot north of my city and ended up checking out some game stores up there...
The craigslist Genesis lot came with a complete Genesis Model 1, and 13 games. $30 total for everything
NBA Jam
Bi Hurt Baseball
Quarterback Club 96
Road Rash 3
Sonic
Sonc 2
Golden Axe
Altered Beast
Aladdin
Jurassic Park
Mortal Kombat
Mortal Kombat 2
Virtua Racer
and......
Lightening Force - a game I haven't thought about in years and is (alone) worth more than I paid for the whole lot. Prety happy about that.
Then I went a little further north to Vista, CA and checked out a gamestore that advertises a lot on craigslist and found these:
X-Files - $7
Riven - $5
Battle Arena Toshinden - $5 (i had to buy this because I have never seen a jewel case version of this, it also says "not for resale" so I am guessing it was part of a set)
Defenders of Dynatron City -$3 label is completely shot
Spider-Man 2 - $5
and the WEIRDEST PICKUP I HAVE EVER HAD!
What the hell am I looking at!? Mel Gibson's Hamlet: The Game !?
Actually, it's just Ninja Gaiden Shadow. because...why not? I thought it might be the Japanese version, but nope, it's the American release. The lady even gave this one to me for $1 because she couldn't get it working.
So now I have what I think can be called the most unique item in my collection..."Ninja Hamlet: The Revenge of Claudius"
and finally, although not technically game related..
If you were a kid in the 90s n the US (and maybe elsewhere) this stuff is gamer's gold! Nothing but liquid sugar and caffine, They discontinued this about 15 years ago, but brought it back for a limited run on Amazon. Time to break out Ocarina of Time, FF VII and Diablo. Tonight we're gonna party like it's 1999!

Finally just sucked it up and bought physical copies. Freebie DL codes were great for playing, but just didn't feel like part of the collection :/

Feel the same way. I'm not interested in buying any of the modern system bundles because the included games are digital. They might as well come without a game if they don't come with a physical copy. Zero incentive to buy a bundle that includes digital content...
