Darth Vader | 154 Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 At work right now and came across a pile of garbage on the side of the road with a sign that said "free stuff". Nothing special but I surprisingly didn't have Pikmin in my collection. Nice way to add it! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorEncore | 3,690 Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 (edited) Some new stuff this week. World Class Track Meet is a repro box and I just found out the manual for that game is within the Power Pad manual, so it's not quite "CIB". Captain Planet actually has the cardboard riser, which was a pleasant surprise. Big thanks to @DK for the nice Laser Invasion. And a few more variants: Weirdly-Spaced TV version of Win, Lose, or Draw and 1 Hit version of Dragon Warrior. And then random Sunset riders box and manual I got for a good price.

Strange | 1,700 Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 (edited) I’ve tried to slim my NES collecting down to at least boxed stuff, but damn if I haven’t wanted to play this game for a long time. Now we all know Red Dead Redemption 2 is actually a prequel to the original Red Dead Redemption, but does anyone know where this game fits into the timeline? What about Wild Arms?

I really enjoyed playing through Lone Ranger. The changing gameplay styles is creative. Playing the game with a zapper at your side is a cool experience. It's like an adventure, action, platformer game. Awesome stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acromite53 | 337 Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Added 2 more CIB Genesis games to the collection. I had been wanting to play Streets of Rage 3 for a long time. I had a blast finally playing through the superior Japanese version. Great stuff! Also added Task Force Harrier EX. I'm always looking to play Shoot em ups. This one, I'll admit, is pretty disappointing lol. Though I have been enjoying the soundtrack. I need to play more of it. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Against all odds, I was able to track down a sealed copy in an unlikely place. I opened it with baited breath and... BOOM! Black Box Manual! Woohoo! Head over to the Sealed NES Contents thread for the full list of stuff. You can also see them in the pic below. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanooki | 4,929 Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 I had a couple of interesting things fall into my hands today which surprised me. Diablo Hellfire (PC) for $2, and then over at the half price, and it has been a LONG time since I've seen any pop up, but during the week I've been grabbing up some TSR D&D Endless Quest books. They had a couple $5 books I lacked I got a few days back, but they had a 20% off sale going today through Sunday, went back and grabbed a couple $15 harder to find ones for $12 so I was happy. I saw a couple more but no way I'm paying $40-50 on that. I really find those books quite fun, kind of an adult form of choose your own adventure.

PineappleLawnchair | 88 Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Bought a bunch of Swatch games this week during GS' christmas sale, Collection of Mana, Dragon Marked for Death, Katamari Reroll, Tales of Vesperia, Cave Story +, Blade Chasers: Nightwar, and Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon. Also got Freedom Planet from Best Buy, and my free joycon repair from Nintendo came in, so now i just need to repair that kickstand and i'm all set.

RH | 4,887 Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 (edited) I finally got a copy of Mega Man for the Game Gear, which came with a copy of the manual. It was an auction ending on Christmas Eve and I manged to get the pair for cheaper than just the cartridge. It arrived yesterday. The front cover was torn off and the seller didn't mention that it was filled with his original, childhood art on almost every, single page. I need to make a post dedicated to the manual alone. It was my initial intent to restore the manual, sell it and try to recoup the costs but after I saw all of the art the seller had drawn when he was probably 6 or 7, there's no way I'm getting rid of it. I love that stuff. Best buy I've made all year. Edited December 27, 2019 by RH 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiamiSlice | 3,089 Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 (edited) Finally made it to my parents house to reclaim my childhood collection (what’s left of it). My brother is also giving me all of his stuff because he prefers emulating and hacking games on PC (he’s keeping a few strategy guides though. I just have to pack everything and ship it to myself. The cardboard boxes need serious restoration, this will be a slow project and I will post updates as I go through everything. Also the NES bag is filled to the brim with loose NES games. Will reveal all the stuff you can’t see when I go through them at my house!!! p.s. can someone identify this NES bag for me?
