Nice pickups!  Some day I'll get around to playing Gulliver Boy for realz, but so far I've mostly just enjoyed the HuVideo.  :mrgreen:

Pretty nuts how expensive Saturn stuff is now in general.  I owe one gentleman a great deal for helping me finish up what I was looking for a couple years ago. 

Anyway...so this is stuff I have grabbed over the last couple weeks at the thrift when I went by.


Thrift Finds: LPs and Games by xelement5x, on Flickr


I don't have many records and have been itching to get something worthwhile for the player I have and found these two interesting LPs for a couple bucks each.  One is opening songs for action shows, and the other is the Weird Al album "Dare to be Stupid".  I grew up listening to Dr. Demento so the Weird Al album was a perfect start for me.

I also found a couple cheap games, Resident Evil is in nice shape but has the Director's Cut version of the game disc in it instead of the original, will try and swap that out later.  Ralli Sport for the XBox is in mint shape with all the inserts and stuff, now I have both of these, the second game is pretty fun too.  There was a second copy as well that was greatest hits but I decided I probably don't need 2 copies of the same game.  :P

Finally, I also grabbed the loose PSOne unit for $5.  It still seems to work like a champ as well.  Plugged it in (used a PS2 slim supply) and that RE game booted up nice and fine without any issues.

I always wanted a PSONE but never got one.  I have multiple chipped PSX consoles though, all with laser issues.  I should look into fixing/adjusting them...

I think I am nearly done with my Saturn collection.

Just missing two WD games. Sega Ages and that WWII game.

Know I am missing one or two of the $100 games still.

But I have picked up most of the harder to find games.

Most of them this year

Nice, PS2 was definitely the greatest for Horror games.  Shame a lot of those titles have gotten expensive.  I would love to see some of these re-release on Steam or something.  These, Silent Hill, Fatal Frame, Forbidden Siren...   and stuff like Kuon, too which I haven't even had the pleasure to try yet - would all be top of my list for a digital re-release.

Yea they are definitely out there if you look for them. I really beefed up my Saturn collection this year as well, got some excellent deals! There are only a few games I really want at this point and they are Panzer Dragoon Zwei and Winning Post

Ya some great horror games on the system, Kuon is well done and a tough find.

Like the Clock Tower series, the Haunting ground you find your self being chased and i do not know about anyone else but that shit freaks me right the f@ck out.

Hey cool, Haunting Ground is something I picked up from BestBuy, and one of the few games I beat last couple of years! It's not in the high-end of quality for survival horror games like Resident Evil, Silent Hill 2, etc. but it is a fine Capcom game and worth playing through! I enjoyed it!

Yea these will probably be the first horror type games I play. The pair popped up on Kijiji as a "best offer" kinda deal. Googled the titles cause I've never heard of them and liked the cover art. Sounded pretty interesting. Then I hopped on eBay and watched a copy of Rule of Rose go for $250 :shock: I threw the guy what was probably a low ball offer but he took it. He said he had Rule of Rose on eBay as a BIN but too many people were hounding him to make a deal outside of eBay or something and he just wanted to get rid of the pair.

Haunting Ground is good but I guess Rule of Rose was a rental previously and has a label on the front and  back of the cover art and a small one on the manual... Should I attempt to peel?

Wow, so how much did you pay for Haunting Ground ? It was a red-tagged clearance item when I saw it for $15 bucks. Come to think of it, I may have been at Kmart, not Bestbuy. I've bought PS2 clearance items from both stores over the years, though the nearby Kmart just closed on me... Surprised it lasted this long competing against Walmart. While you do find better deals at Walmart, sometimes there are cheaper rarities at Kmart worth your time. I got great deals on some drawers way back with big instant rebates with the member card, so I bought 5 of them.

EDIT: Oh nevermind, I see, you can't really say, you bought it with the other one that's been the subject of crazed big-spenders... But upon checking eBay out it looks like it too has been driven up. :/ I don't think you'll be that impressed with the game given the money you spent, but oh well...
