Garage saling for treasures

[Mick Dundee]

any Saturday that involves free/cheap games and legos is a good Saturday.....despite what my wife says about the legos

[Belmont86]

besides that my brother in law gave me a bucket full of legos that he got at some boxes that were given to them for free...

Street Fighter The Movie

I didn't even know that game had ever been released to a home system.

IIRC the home ports were actually better than the arcade version (though still crappy).

That's an awesome haul.  Looks like Christmas came early for you! Very jealous!

[Mick Dundee]

I too am jealous....only goodwill around me is a good 45 minute ride away....closest salvation army is new and gas mostly clothes. I would say i'd pass up those games....but having 3 game shops around within 40 mins that will take classics - next gen stuff keeps me buying stuff I dont want as long as its cheap enough

I'm new to collecting games but after 1 year I've got a pretty respectable spread going with
minimal investment.  and its been really fun to go on the hunt and occasionally play some games

[tiktektak]

My best find in 2011 definitely was the new but unsealed Stadium Events for the NES for a whopping 2 Euros in an old toy store.

[DKBananas]

I was able to pick up Athletic world in the box at an older woman's garage sale.  Nearly soiled myself when i say that silver box from the bottom of the driveway, hoping it was the holy grail.  I'll have to keep my day job.

[tiktektak]

Yeah but the PAL and US versions of this game are two completely different pair of shoes.
