teh "what did you buy today"-thread

$15 thrift store haul


Silk screen Marushka print, 8 pin male to female din cord to use as an extender(now I can sit on my couch to play tg-16 games), Genesis games in cases to replace my loose ones, Thunder Force 2 for a friend

and at the bottom is a mystery SNES game. WHAT COULD IT BE? Ahhh the suspense is killing me, it has a battery so that might eliminate most sports titles. Any guesses before I pop it in??

That's a killer line-up Vest! Wing Commander III is FMV done right IMO.

Not quite one day, but here is 240.00 worth of stuff bought from Tuesday to today (Thursday)

Wow D-Dan! Nice! I have never heard of Snow Brothers. Where did you score these? A Chicago retro game store I bet. If so, I am jealous.

Nice haul Dan.  TMNT Turtles in Time, Pocky and Rocky, and Super Adventure Island are up there as some of my favorites on the SNES.  Love the Dragon's Curse and Dead Moon.  I still need to find my copy of Dead Moon.  I feel it's lost forever.  I can't do anything with a box and instructions...   Have you played Metroid Other M yet?  I actually like it.  Well not the voice acting anyways.  Thought Team Ninja did a pretty good job.

Three different sources, the Turbo games except Dead Moon came from a book store. The SNES and NES stuff and Metroid came from a Play N Trade, Dead Moon was an internet purchase.

I have Snow Bros already (and all other US licensed NES carts), but this was a slight condition upgrade

I haven't seen Snow Bros. in a looong time. Nice score

Nice 3DO, Mathius.  Better you than me!  Still, be sure to enjoy!  Get Road Rash!

Elabit, your SNES game is Donkey Kong Country.

I had Road Rash bitd for the 3DO I had then. Great game, great soundtrack! Owning a 3DO just for Star Control II is valid though. It can't be overstated just how amazing this game is! Anyone who hasn't tried it please download the freeware version at www.sc2.sourceforge.net/ Be sure to get the voice pack along with it.

Nice score Dan.  That Snow Bros looks awesome and Dead Moon gets my vote for most underrated TG16 shooter.

Yesterday I bought a Dreamcast.  Nothing impressive about this but it is a console I've been wanting to own for many years (already had several games for it), number two on my priority list after the Duo.  ^^

@DragonmasterDan:  I haven't thought of Snow Bros in ages!

My mystery SNES game was Sim City. Cool game but I already own it. I was surprised it worked, it was at the bottom of a bin full of random crap and is caked with thrift store filth.

well i got adams family, military madness, a game music disc and a bomberman huey from Henry today.  I cant wait to put the audio on my psp,  I played adams family. its pretty cool.  I like the voice overs and how it relates to the movie.  also the still shots from the movie are cool. 
Im really excited for military madness.  ive only played it on my psp so im looking foward to the big screen

Turbo, I'm glad this shipment at least made it.  Maybe someday Super Raiden will actually turn up, but I'm not holding my breath - damn USPS!

It's weird because the cover is glued to the case, but that's how it comes from the manufacturer.  The instructions are an actual fold-out map thing.  I wonder how many Bulk Slashes were destroyed by people trying to rip the cover off.
