August 2015 - What summer is finally perhaps coming??? Let's get stuff!

[Arseen]

Ordered both Skylanders SuperChargers Starter Packs (Normal/Light and Dark) for Wii and WiiU, so I should get following Amiibos:

#00 = Hammer Slam Bowser, Light Edition
#00 = Hammer Slam Bowser, Dark Edition
#00 = Turbo Charge Donkey Kong, Light Edition
#00 = Turbo Charge Donkey Kong, Dark Edition

When they are released.

Now I just need to find unopened retail packs of them if they are released.

Went by a couple garage sales this morning. Picked up Shenmue 2 and Crash Bandicoot Vortex for original Xbox, and a red Nintendo 64 controller, all 3 for $10

I came back to my hometown for the weekend and hit up some local gamestores.  One of them had a sale - NES games, buy 2 get 2 free, and PS1 games, buy 2 get 3 free.  So I picked these up...



Final Doom, Quake 2, Assault Retribution, Mech Warrior 2, Tenchu 2

Gauntlet, Gautlet II, Caveman Games and King's Knight

Flintstones and MGS were from a second store and were $5 each.  All in all, about $60 for everything shown with taxes.
Flintstones cart has some cracks, but nothing a donor cart and label transfer can't fix.

Still in my hometown for a few days, I ended up passing a garage sale.  Didn't see anything special from the road, but I stopped anyway.  Found this box marked "Intellivision $15.00"  Came with an INTV III system, the intellivoice and 19 games, although a few are duplicates.  6 games are CIB, all other games have manuals and inlays, there are also a bunch more inlays and manuals for other games not included.  Not a bad haul for $15





Games are...
Burger Time CIB, TRON Deadly Discs CIB, Vectron CIB, Lock N CHase CIB, Tron SOlar Sailer CIB, Night Stalker CIB
Utopia, Night STalker (different label), SNafu, Loco Motion, Star Strike, NASL Soccer, Burger Time (different label), Mission X, SPace Armada, Math Fun, Space Battle and 2 mystery games.  One has an impossible to read label, altho it looks a little like another Math Fun, and one is missing its label entirely.

I was able to test the system's power and it works, but there is no AV cable so no idea if it will play the games or not.  It just takes an RF cable (an old NES one should work fine) so I will test when I get home.  For $15 it was worth the risk.

[N64 Guy]

At the girlfriends parents place this weekend I got to get all this. I found fire emblem  it was the greatest moment ever until I opened the case and the disc wasn't there...

[RealPlumpBox]

@N64Guy, Very nice haul!  Makes me super jelly!

Anyway I didn't get to much lately as I am going back to visit family in CT soon.


Got these off Amazon for $20 each.




The rest is non gaming related.  Some stuff for fun and for work.  Targets, Knife, ammo, and shooting gloves.

Now I have the book to go with the game.

My finds for today were:

A Nightmare on Elm Street (NES)
Trog (NES)
Where in Time is Carmen Sandiego? with box and encyclopedia (NES)

Do the games play well with the X1 controller?

I went to my local retro gaming shop, got all of this for $200 or so. 25 or so games. hilights are MGS Disk 1 for  both the PS1 an NGC Twin Snakes versions, $5 each, I have disk 2 for both and the cases already.

You only had disc 2 for each game and found disc 1 by itself for each game at a game store.  What are the odds of that?

I need that to happen to me for Shenmue on Dreamcast.  I'm missing disc 1.

Yeah, I asked the clerk and they seem to have a binder full of incomplete game disks, they happened to have both.

Oh god, since when did Shenmue get that expensive? I think it got mine for cheep from someone here.
