Post everytime you get ANYTHING retro. We want to know (^v^)

[Blast Hardbody]

$50 AUD total after shipping from the UK.
Not the best condition, but far cheaper than some other copies on EBay have gone for, and it does not turn up complete that often. Plus I plan on snagging the first two tomorrow

Wooohooo, just been in a local indie gameshop thats closing down with a huge 50% off poster in the window... Got lots for resale!

I didn't even realise we had any local indies!

[Yakumo]

Bought a few items today. From left to right -
Mask Rider data disc 1. (I have no interest what so ever but I guess it's needed for that full Saturn collection)
PD Ultraman Link
Osama Game (I've been after this for years. Not that hard to track down but it always goes for stupid money. Probably because it's the only adult game where all of the women aren't mingers)
Super Back to the Future II (Yeh, I know it's a bit cack but I just couldn't resist when I saw it)

Managed to get a copy of gurulogic champ off ebay

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=170247010331&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=007

was that a good price? I seemed to remember it going for about forty wingwangs, but that might have just been on play-asia.

Also got hold of a brand new NES SP from Gamestation for the princely sum of £15. The guy said they've been getting them in new to be sold as pre-owned, so check out your gamestation for one of these beauties. (Got mine from Shrewsbury).

[importaku]

Errr yeah you did very well with that price on guru logic

[Cauterize]

Seems like everyone has had a good weekend here

WANT! Nice find! Unfortunately this doesnt work on the 'PowerPak' so ill have to pick it up at some point!

Super Back to the Future II (Yeh, I know it's a bit cack but I just couldn't resist when I saw it)

Nah no way! I think its a nice little platformmer. Its no Sonic/Mario! But still alot better than alot fo the platformers released here!
If you decide to get rid of it Yakumo, let me know


I had a pretty good weekend myself. Only gonna post what im keeping thou as usual



Found yet another two Game and Watches, two i didnt already own as well
One was from the shop closing down i mentioned the other day.
The other, well I had to work hard for it A well known trader at the boot sale was trying to sell it for ?20. I buy off him regularlly and was well aware of his prices. He actually buys stuff up as well to sell, however he isnt knowledgeable. He sells anything electronic.
So, in exchange for Squish. I offered him a Megadrive 1 i just picked up a few stalls down for ?1, a few PS1 and Gameboy Games (generic titles) and a fiver.
To him, that was ?30 worth of goods for a ?20 item. To me it was probably about ?7 so we both won in that situation and im very pleased with it




Also from the closing down shop. Ive wanted one of these for ages! And the first one I came across is brand new... couldnt be happier




A few more random finds!

And for the best find of the weekend....




This is fantastic. Best ?1 ever spent on a board game.
I dont know if many of you have played the Pac-Man, Frogger or other Video Game board games? but if you have youll be well aware that the transition between video game to board game never goes well...
This however does!

You press the grey button and the reel goes (like a gambler) and tells you which block you have to place down. The block is then placed on the board in the same way as you would on a Gameboy. You begin to rack them up in the same way, obviously you cant fill in gaps unless the piece slips in neatly etc. You keep taking turns doing this.

Once you get a line(s) you move the middle line up towards the other player. More lines, the further it goes. On the top right hand side of the board tells you how far the guideline thing moves up after X amount of lines are cleared.
And you keep going until one person is blocked in and cant go.

Ive just realised that ive explained Tetris to gamers and feel incredibly stupid! It is pretty much the same, however it has a lovely feel to it
Ive played this more than any game I found this weekend

Im expecting my grail in the next few days too Come on Mr Postman!

Cauterize you make me sick! - With Jealousy

What a car boot you got to, keep the posts coming buddy - It makes my day to see some of the stuff you get, whatever will turn up next? - Fantastic Stuff.

The only decent thing I've found ever was Legend Of The Mystical Ninja & Contra III (SNES) with a US Adaptor thing for a £10 and that was years ago.

Now these weren't found at a car boot, nor recently, but I've not posted them up anywhere before and I figured some of you guys may get a kick out of them. Basically, a housemate was working at the now-defunct Silicon Dreams a few years back. They went belly up and did an auction of pretty much everything that wasn't nailed down to get some money back before the bitter end. I got in on it, and managed to grab this job lot of Japanese N64 games for the bargain sum of ?6. I'd like to say it was down to my breathtaking bartering skills, but because no one else went for them







All with manuals and all the usual gubbins you get with a game, most of them near mint, with the exception of some ever so slight scuffs and Mario 64, which in all fairness has been a bit battered. A sign it was deservedly well-loved, no doubt. It still has an import price sticker of ?66 on it! Nothing hugely rare in there - and certainly nothing new to anyone who does any importing - but the N64 is my favourite console and Waverace 64, 1080 Snowboarding and Starfox 64 are among my favourites, so its kind of nice to find these for the collection.

It's not as much fun just buying them, is it?

[jamesy]

Glad to see them 64 games posted Llamarama. Just got an n64 off these boards and hopefully should have a few games for it tomorrow. I should maybe start posting some pics for this thread although I don't usually go for things out of the ordinary.

[The Glider]

Finally managed to get a boxed copy of Wordtris which is in a lovely condition.



Cauterize - Love that Tetris boardgame. I need that!

[egparadigm]

What are those grey buttons for? Mute, Speed, Color, Window? A quick google suggests they double up as the missing SFC buttons R,X,Y,L, but what do they do for the SGB?

Thanks for posting the N64 games, btw.

[honeymustard]

Can't be bothered to take pics, but today I got a lovely boxed MD2 which is in very nice condition. I also got a complete US copy of Majora's Mask. Unfortunately it was sent in a jiffy bag so the box got a little squashed

Edit: what the heck, MM just crashed when I was playing it. N64 games aren't supposed to crash?

Don't you just hate it when sellers do that! If it's crashing, the cartridge edge connector probably needs a clean. I use cotton buds with a tiny dab of windowlene
