June 2016 hauls, come to Finland and experience Juhannus

[Arseen]

In anticipation Juhannus I bought this so I can easier make salads for barbequeing



Also been planning on new drinks to enjoy, non found yet though, but I still have bit over 3 weeks time.
And ordered few party games like Doody Head (3 of them just in case)

Doody head huh? Must be a foreign thing. Not something I could see myself enjoying. But hey, whatever brings enjoyment to your life eh? Lol.

Oh it's American.

It's a game where one thows doody and other tries to catch it with their head for various amounts of points printed onto the helmet.

Funny game for kids or persons absolutely wasted.
Latter of which is the point of Juhannus.

Ugh, I went to Goodwill and they had some NES games (Ice Hockey, Side Pocket, Nascar, Top Gun 1 and 2) , but nothing too good, I picked up Golf (A game I forgot I had already) and another game "To The Earth" was by the register, It looked interesting but it's just a Zapper game and I don't have a CRT accessible. $6 ($3 each) well spent.

I also got Diddy Kong Racing 64 for $7 shipped off eBay. That happened.

Gave away the old Wii U to a friend so I picked up a used one from Gamestop recently.
Picked up Mario Kart 8 and New Super Mario Bros U for $40 off craigslist yesterday.
Bought the hardcover DOOM strategy guide tonight. I really enjoy playing it. I haven't had a reaction like this to a game in years.

I thought I would stop by the local flea market today.  Due to the weather, it was about a 50% seller turnout which usually means I won't see much.  I stop in to a regular seller who always has video games, but they are always common sports games.  It's almost to the point where I think I should skip even stopping by anymore since he never has anything, but I since there weren't many other sellers, I stoped in anyway.

Well, it turns out he picked up a lot of stuff from a local woman whose husband died a few years ago and wanted to get rid of some of his stuff.  He had over 4 dozen boxed SNES and N64, GB and GB games along with the consoles to go with them.  Unfortunately, this guy knew what he had and they were priced accordingly.  I don't really buy cart based games anymore unless I find them super cheap, but I did end up picking up these three games for a pretty good deal.  He was willing to accept offers and he took $40 for these three. 




I also go home and this was waiting for me in the mail.  Overall, a good pickup day.

My birthday was a few days ago and now I'm 21

I finally got this (If not out of season) for $25 from Japan, I wanted one for a while and the price seems to be high around Xmas time when I'm thinking about decorating.



I'm an adult.

Not bad

I got the following today! I was a very big fan of Shadow of the Beast for the Amiga. So, I'm excited to have a physical version of the new game. Also, Magical Chase is a repro. It was $50 and came with the small case. I created the CD sized Jewel case for it. On the back, it does say "Turbo Reproduction".

That Magical Chase repro looks great segamer, nice pick up man!

That Magical Chase repro looks great segamer, nice pick up man!

At $2000, I know I'll never have the real Magical Chase. The repro was so pretty, I couldn't help myself.

[gam3rz3r0]

Even if I was super rich i doubt I'd pay much more than $200 for single game. Thank god for repros!

[Superchop]

My pickups for the month so far...some ps1 Capcom goodness from goodwill, albeit for goodwill prices I feel it was a bit much (never realized what marvel vs street fighter goes for...) and a zelda gamepad!!!  Gamepad cost me $55 shipped!  Im so excited to finally have it after wanting one since first seeing them.  I just couldn't justify the 125+ price tag for one

 

But the fun doesn't end there...



The real reason it was so cheap lol but I figure a replacement screen is cheap and the work involved was simple enough

[larryinc64]

Maybe swap the shells? Do you have another game pad?

[TDIRunner]

These arrived today.  My SNES/Genesis/Master System component cables.  I knew they were starting to ship out the first batches, but I figured I was still a ways out so I was surprised to get them.  Unfortunately, I won't have much time this week to test them out.  I'll let you all know what I think once I get to mess around with them.
