                  I got me a policenaughts for 5.00 at a japanese supermarket same with a really cool Konami sumo game 14.00. In fact all my Japanese game bargains are bought there.

                  Domestically I think I haven't fared as well.

                      is it the PS2 konami sumo game? If so, how the holy **** do you play it?

                        You use the analog sticks and the shoulder buttons. My wife kicked my ass at it. It was quite frustrating when I think I had a chance, I'd end up sumo'd. It also has like the longest title ever for a PS2 game:

                        Japan Sumo Federation Authorized Japan Oozumo

                        For 14.00 I figured where could I go wrong. I have a thing for completely strange and bizarre Japanese games and lately Dynasty Warriors.
                        Next on my list...I Am Small from Victor Interactive.

                            got 'rush hour 2' dvd free with 8 legged freaks at GAME. 10-day returned it as new on the till for 9.99, exchanging it for pro evo 2 and parappa 2 both preowned at 29-97 each (both on 5 quid codes, 7605). rubbed off the pen and 10 day returned them as new in exchange for DOAXBV and project zero for the xbox at 39.99 each.

                            ?80 profit if you will.

                              I bought mine on impulse for ?20 off Ebay.

                              I've only ever managed to suss out that the analog sticks were a huge part of it. I might go and get sumo'd up now and give those shoulder buttons a try.

                                Recently I bought a Parker game shop display unit which basically holds 24 Atari 2600 cartridges and houses an Atari 2600. When all hooked up, the player can select any of the 24 carts at the press of a button. Like a mini Atari arcade. I got this for 6 quid.

                                Before that I picked up 25 boxed Intellivision games for a fiver.

                                I swapped the Atari/Parker unit and the Intellivision games for a Sega Nomad. So in effect, I got the Nomad for 11 quid. Result.
                                Well the Parker game shop display unit can fetch $500 on a good day, which against a Nomad which has a value of $120 doesn't seem that good a swop...
