Picked up Kirby Dream Land 3 for a pretty good price, it's tough to find in the wild at least. Also got Excitebike for NES, and Paper Mario: TTYD and Sunshine complete for GameCube. Sunshine is Not For Resale copy, anyone know if it's worth a little more?

I don't typically post my hauls, but I got such a good deal yesterday that I had to share.

Wow that was a fantastic deal! Nice find

And I was in a local game shop and found one of the games from my Bucket List...these 3 cost me about $200 total.


I like that Saturn controller (especially the analog shoulder buttons).  It's an interesting controller that most people seem to forget about. 
Maybe, just once, someone will call me "sir" without adding, "you're making a scene."

Thousand Year Door is my favorite game on the GameCube.  If you haven't played it yet, start now.  Amazing story, and probably the most interesting Mario related story in any game I've played.

Don't forget that if you use the 3d controller with Golden Axe The Duel the game will glitch out and not play. just unplug the controller and use a different one.

I've never tried it.  Does it glitch even if you turn the analog off?

I think so, I know it resets the system and says it can not read the disc.

Love seeing the Saturn pickups.  Don't see Saturn locally too much anymore.
I have not seen a Saturn game in the wild for almost 3 years now.

Saturn is one of the sets where I've tried collecting them complete.  Those cases are so fragile I COMPLETELY understand why printing covers for them is the route to go.  That and being definitely cheaper.  I still some Saturn games now and again but rarely anything, well ... rare.  Sports titles and even mid range title I do see but games like The Winning Post for example I never come across in the wild.

I've made quite a bargain in the last four weeks.

  • THREE of those CAVE-Shooters for XBox 360 (Deathsmiles, Dodonpachi Ressurection and Akai Katana) for around 10 bucks a piece... they mostly go for more, especially Deathsmiles. And all 3 mint-condition or new.
  • Panzer Dragoon for PC (yeah, THATS A REAL GAME XD)... for just 10 bucks. Quite nice find, this game goes from 15 to 60 bucks on ebay. Looks pretty much mint-condition to me.
  • Metroid 2 for 10 Euros. Yeah, I like that price a lot. Not mint-condition, but still in good shape (light yellowing, perfect label)
  • Road Rash 64 in a local store, paid 15 bucks, goes on ebay for 25-30 Euros. Was searching for this game. Really good condition.

Now I just need the money for ESPGALUDA for Xbox360. This game should work on a pal console (I've read)... love thos CAVE-Games A LOT.

A good amount of the Japanese only ones are region free also... but be ready to pay up for some of them.  There's some good info here:  https://shmups.system11.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=23501

I finally grabbed a retro access cables SCART cable for PS1 and a pretty ok SCART to HDMI converter.  PSX games look great!

I'm not one to pay retail price, so I was surprised to see Tron Bonne for $160.  It was marked $200, but was 20% off due to minor water damage to manual and back insert.  If you look, it's there, but it isn't noticeable unless you look directly for it.  So I was happy to grab it.  Darkstalkers I already have, but its the long box version.  I am after an all Jewel Case variant for PSX ( I like uniformity) so I grabbed this one for $40 with a plan to sell my longbox version.  Finally, the Saturn controller was only $20.

Not sure if you know or not, but EVERY PS3 can play PS1 games.


Target clearance. $25 each




And because it’s cheap and I figured it was worth trying. 

It’s crap.
