21 N64 games to go!



And this little pickup officially wraps up my gameboy micro collection.  I now have EVERY variant, plus a few custom units

[TDIRunner]

Very nice.  I would love to have just ONE Game Boy Micro.  But I've never seen one in the wild for less than $60.  I'm just not going to pay that.  Besides, I'll never play the Micro since I prefer the GBA SP or the GB Player.  I just want to own at least one variant of each Game Boy model.  (I'm also missing a Game Boy Light, but they weren't released here, so that's not a big deal for me).

The GBA Micros I see in the wild always have a scratched up screen. Plus, it's a little small for my hands. For me, the original Gameboy Advance with the RCG screen mod would be more comfortable and practical. My small GBA (and DS, though it was really mostly my son's) collection were stolen a few months back so I don't have a big need for it. I'd like to get one of the GBA everdrive carts eventually. The DS lite is a good, less expensive alternative for now.

For me the perfect GBA would be an SP101 modded to be in a gameboy case.  Wish I knew how to do any of that stuff or I would make one.

I've got that very project sitting at my office which has been at about 80% completion for nearly 2 years  Just need a few hours to wrap it up...

Also, I NEVER play any of the micros.  Way too damned small for my taste and comfort as well.  They're just so jewel-like.  I had to have them all!

If you ever finish and want to sell it letme know.

But the micro screen is gorgeous.  I bought my original silver one on a whim, and was REALLY blown away with how great it looks.

I've heard this as well, but I guess I'll never know unless I get really lucky....

I prefer to play on the big screen anyway.  I just need a way to use my SNES controller on my GameCube with the GB Player.

Get the GameCube roku controller. Looks and feels like an SNES controller.

Had an awesome Goodwill find.  Looks like somebody donated their old set after Christmas.

Everything here cost me about $50



I've never seen a Super Princess Peach in the wild before.  And I have NEVER seen this color GBA.  It works great, but has some minor cosmetic scrapes and scratches.  The store also had a few DS lites, GBA games and DS games, but they were all average titles and the systems were a bit over priced ($30 for a DS lite with no stylus, etc)




I finally found a cheap brand new copy of Calling for Wii, $20 on Amazon last week.  This game spiked in price a few years ago.  No idea why, but it's cool to actually own it.


Saw this at a local record store and my jaw dropped.




This packaging is simply awesome.  A great throwback to the old NES games.  The disks also look like NES cartridges.

Nice score man!

We got nothing Goodwill-wise around here. Seems like some of the best deals come out of those places...

I played this long ago, and my best friend has a system, so I think it would be fun to play him with it

[Lashek]

got my first XBox 360 game: Marvel Ultimate Alliance

I have the actual case and manual for this if you want it. My copy of the game vanished long ago, and I have no interest in collecting for the 360.

PM me if you want it.

Heavy Rain Director's Cut
Best Of PSN Vol. 1
Vampire Rain Altered Species

PSP:
SOCOM Fireteam Bravo 3
Shin Megami Tensei Persona
Final Fantasy 2 20th Anniversary Edition

I don't often find anything at Goodwill, but I still check it every once and a while.

First party PS2 controller
Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games for the DS  (looking for a cover)
Action Replay DSi
Leapster L-Max (for my son )
Sega GT for the Dreamcast
Sydney 2000 for the Dreamcast

I forgot that I already had Sega GT, so it's up for sale if anyone is interested.  It's worth about $3.  Not a great game, but worth having in your DC collection.
