teh "what did you buy today"-thread

[Desh]

never heard of this. pic of the back of the box? whats the gameplay?

Your wish is my command



It plays like Zelda... sort of the "Link to the Past" of the Genesis.  So far I really like it but, was surprised at some of the difficulty so early in the game (I actually like that).

Ohhh I have heard of this one...I want to say it was in a gamesack video or maybe a retro video.....


But it is kinda pricy. Sighh

I know Game sack had it in an ep.  I knew of the game before but, that footage lead me to really want it.  I never actually pursued it because of the price of admission.

Good score, unless you paid out the bootox.

Did you flip, beej do things a bunch to affords it? hehe

I used my scumbag, detriment to the gaming community powers to strike a deal.  A local game shop I frequent just got the most amazing trade in I've ever seen.  Picture every single high dollar/rare SNES, Genesis and N64 title CIB.  Even doubles in some cases.  The quality of the games in this trade-in, are like new.  Words can't even describe.

Anyways, I am kind of buddy buddy with the shop owner so he let's me know when stuff like this happens before it makes it to his display case.  He wanted close to the current price charting average for it.  He also usually hooks me up with 20% off (I buy a lot from him) and I traded in a few better SNES and N64 titles I no longer cared about.  I also traded in some extra hardware and every extra game/ double I had.  I ended up only having pay $50.00 out of pocket plus about 10 minutes worth of time on my knees.  I also traded my average condition boxed Sunset Riders and cash (Genesis) for a mint example and purchased a Minty CIB copy of Mega Turrican on Genesis.

My cartridge crusading friends scored CIB Mega man X2, Castlevania 4 and Sparkster (SNES).  One of them is trying to work out a deal for Wild Guns CIB (I believe the asking price on that one was like $500.00)

I kinda hate trading stuff in to shops, always feel like I'm getting effed. Glad that, at least sounds like, you didn't completely get the shaft. Well, aside from working it a little bit, perhaps.

Totally jealous about the Mega Turrican, wish I could at least score a loose copy for cheapo.

Weeow.

Wild Guns = $500 cib, that is just dumb.

I figured out the math and, damn, a blow job surely is with more than $10-15?

Found some cheap hardbound books from my favorit writer.

Something tells me Tommyknockers isnt really signed by King.

 LOL that may be the worst forged signature I've ever seen! Look how many times it was traced over lol

Yeah lol. But at $3 for a hard bound first edition seemed kind of hard to pass up.

Next month I plan to return as they have book 5, 6, 7 in the dark tower series all first edition for $14 a book hard cover.

That means id the. Obses over not having books 1-4 first edition lol.

Finally my grail has been achieved.  My TMNT NES Tournament Fighters is finally complete.  Since I grew up with a NES during the 16 bit era I missed out on the 1 on 1 fighter craze.  I so badly wanted in on 1 on 1 fighter to play at home.  I had a subscription to Nintendo Power and I see this game featured in it.  I was so excited as this was the going to be only way to get in on the 1 on 1  fighting action.

Sadly I never got it.  I saw it in the store once as a kid but it was $80 and my mom said it was too expensive.  I have been chasing this thing for over 20 years now.

I recently completed my first collecting goal of getting back all of my childhood games CIB.  While I never owned this game I have always considered it part of that collection.  I bought a CB a while back but it took forever to find the manual.  I am so happy to have harpooned the largest white whale in my life.

Way to go flutter pie!


We all have grails but not many obtain them......

Kirby, and the Felix the Cat game... maybe also Trick shooting (On clearance), were some of the last games I bought, NEW, for the NES. Felix, load it on a flash cart, get a good deal on a real cart, however you may, it may sound silly, Felix the Cat?  but it's a decent game.

Heck yeah MULE!
