Here’s all the stuff since the last time I posted:

Did a trade with someone local that I’ve traded with before. Traded a couple Switch games for the top row. Gunstar Super Heroes is a gem and the two Ace Attorney titles I think bring me to a complete set for that series. The bottom row was from his box of cheap filler stuff that he lets me comb through for free. Trioncube is a game I was wanting for a long time so that was a nice find! I also got a Pikachu GameBoy bag but I need to clean it. Actually the cheap stuff wasn’t free, the deal was I had to buy his GF an iced coffee. Not a bad trade!

I got my blind vinyls from LRG, these took a really long time to be fulfilled. I can’t keep them all but I wish I could. Definitely keeping Gradius III. Will also try to keep Spelunky at least. Love that game.

I don’t remember ordering all these GameFairy CE’s but now I wish I hadn’t. Need to seriously cull my CE’s. 

Micro$oft Pinball Arcade is a game I had been hunting for a long time. Missed a sealed copy that popped up on eBay after a long time of no listings, then this CIB appeared and I went for it. It’s not very good as far as pinball games go on GameBoy but I wanted it.

Karaoke Revolution I never had in my collection and I managed to find a cheap copy online. The microphone inside is actually still bagged. I have the dancepad from Mario DDR Mix so I’d actually like to try playing this one with both accessories. 

The refurbished Mario vs DK was a really lucky find.

Konami Arcade Advanced, I got the packaging in a lucky haul that cost me nothing and the cart in a trade.

DQ IX was a hole I needed to fill in my strat guide library. Pokémon Yellow I was tempted to bid on and actually won unexpectedly. Turns out the price on that has come down a lot in the past few months… I actually regret spending what I did 🙈

Japanese Rail Sim is a long story… which I’ll have to tell y’all in another thread.

And lastly, here’s what arrived today!

For just $20 (Canadian), why not?

Literally haven't watched any Pokémon movies since watching Pokémon The Movie 2000 in Theaters in Summer 2000, so I bought this. It was a mere 10 bucks at Wal-Mart (even though the price tag said $12).

Bought some Airheads at a game store...the same store I bought the Japanese copy of Mario Party shown above (and other imports I've bought recently).

@Fryer64 If you don't mind, how long have you had Gold Ball and where did you find it?

 

Anyway what I got here I'm sure I'll get a few smiles on, but it's weak compared to these last few posts or so...wow.

Heading back from the county over, random garage sale i pull up on tacked onto a business having some weird sale.  Anyway spot the smaller one of these in a box, guy asks how much, but then is like whatever dollar is fine.  Mentions he has another but can't get it to start beyond the title screen.  Guess it was operator error, both needed some cleaning, but would you turn this down for 50 cents each? 🙂

And then a bit down the way, popped into a thrift, and ST TNG phaser from 1992, light was out rattling, but whatever $2.  I got it home, found the light was loose, that's all, it died after again, solder popped so I fixed that too.  The bottom of the black ring near the red tip there has 2 service screws, such an easy fix and smart for bulb replacement.

Finally further another thrift had some DS games, most were uninteresting or not really a deal, but I think for $12 this one was.  I swear I think I had it before, or maybe it was the 3DS one I need to try it as it maybe the one I skipped.  Can't say no to Yoshi.  So a $14 day, can't feel slighted by that at all with this variety.

Been awhile since I got to post pictures since I got stuck on a long work project for 2 months, but it helped fund this stuff too so hey? I have been going for Starpath Supercharger stuff for years but never really committed to it big time, but here is the fullset I think! Even have the two mail order only cassettes though I don't have the manuals for those two. No boxes exist for the mail order games though so I figured this is fine.

Aside that I bought a good few SNES titles which basically bankrupted me for awhile 😞

E5faFPdX0AITA6t?format=jpg&name=largeE5faFfRXoAgAUzf?format=jpg&name=large

After I added them to the shelf finally.. I redid the entire area so I might post it again later in the year.

Walked into HPB earlier they had some ugh prices on a few things but one stuck out to me so I grabbed it.  Sticker came off clean and other than some fading to the rear general warning sticker in rear it’s excellent.

Guarantee you they paid the poor sap who brought it in like $5. 😄

Bought this at an Antique Store:

While the price tag says $15.00 (Canadian), the Antique Store I went to was having a closing sale and everything was 25% off. So I got the game for $11.25 instead.

Nice. Takedown and Revenge are both excellent.

Not sure if it was really a great deal or not, but my GC died after 20 years of service.  Yesterday came a day early, but I got a boxed up indigo gamecube complete in the box as far as wires, hookups, controller.  The box has a little damage, had no manual or insert for cardboard inside(anyone got one?) but I did already still have my manual so very nice.  It was $90 plus shipping, and well at least I have a spare set of wires and controller too as I just had the one +wavebird.  Works great, popped my HDMI adapter in the rear and it's all good once again.

Is there any other way to collect? 😏 

Well I used to be able to take solace in buying cheap but large volumes of good games, now I'm kind of getting exclusively in the more expensive territory and it's kind of sad to see what you must pay to achieve the same volume 😪

I feel you. Also as someone in the expensive, sealed market. I find myself buying only a handful of games every month but the price is so much higher. Compared to the early days when I could get a dozen or more games in a month and spend half as much rip lol

Went back to my local game store and got a few more goodies:

Bought some Japanese copies of Dr. Mario and Yoshi's Cookie for Game Boy. This copy of Dr. Mario is a little dirty, but Yoshi's Cookie is in pretty good shape. Both games work.

Got a copy of Mystery Quest with the box. I'm guessing this copy is a former rental; the box obviously used to have several labels on it, and there are some numbers on the top left.

Also bought a tasty treat.

This arrived in the mail a while ago. The box is a little beat up but the contents were brand new.

This also arrived around time of LEGO dimensions give or take a few days. It was also sealed.

Finally I happened to be in the area of my local game store yesterday so I went in and picked a few things up. I had to return Action Fighter today because it wouldn’t work due to an apparent “bad chip”, so I exchanged the broken one for a new copy that worked plus I also bought Qix. Not bad for 2 days.

Holy shit!!! Someone made Zoo Keeper for Atari?!?!  How does it play?  2600 or 7800?  It's by far my favourite arcade game ever - I've even got the real deal in my basement...

Very well!  Champ Games makes top quality ports!  Check out this video:
