May 17 2013 Loot

Last Friday I went a little bit out of my way to hit up a few places I had not really got to check out yet. I'm pretty happy with the results, as I came across a few games that are a bit harder to find, and also ran into some good prices on a few. This was the overall haul for the day.
.

This is the most games Ive bought in one day in a while, but some of them were a pretty good deal, and some I've been looking for and had to scoop up. Let's take a closer look.

At the flea market I picked up a CIB Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse for the Genesis($10!). I've been looking for that one for a while. I also got Blaster Master 2 for the Genesis on the cheap, but the label is kinda jacked up. Also Star Wars Episode I Racer for the DreamCast at the store I went to. Really wanted that one for a while. I already had the N64 version, but wanted to see how the DC version was. Plus, I adore Star Wars games from that era.

Also, the dude at the flea market let me get these 2 Master System games for $5 total. Gotta start somewhere.

These came from the store I visited, with the exception of Double Dragon coming from the flea market. Finally,  I have the first 3 DD games for the NES. Contra is in pretty decent shape, but the kicker was the price: $17. That's about $10 cheaper than ebay prices. Metal Gear I picked up for $6 and The Mafat Conspiracy(sequel to Golgo 13) was a measly 5 clams. Strangely enough, I had bought the sequels to Metal Gear and Contra(Snake's Revenge and Super C) just the day before.

Also from the store(that I'll definitely be going back to), a $9 CIB Star Soldier: Vanishing Earth for N64 and G.I. Joe for the NES....I think it was only 5 bucks. Nice!

Here is a closeup of Star Wars Episode I Racer, showing the jewel case damage. Disc is in great shape though. I forgot I had already ebay'd one of these, so I'll end up giving this one to me brudder.

 

I couldn't believe when I saw these 2 at the store. Castlevania: Curse of Darkness has, for some reason, been very hard for me to find. And Battlestar Galactica, well, I've been re-watching the (newer)series and just couldn't pass it up. I'd actually forgotten that they made a BSG game for PS2.

And bringing up the rear(and deservedly so, I've read) Final Fight: Streetwise for X-Box arrived in the mail that same day. I know the game is supposed to be a travesty and practically devoid of any redeeming qualities, but it's Final Fight. I want to get all of the Final Fight games eventually, and that even includes you, Streetwise.

 

 

All in all, that was one of the best hauls I've made in some time. A combination of good prices and some games I've been wanting and searching for.

                       Surely, Gunpei Yokoi must have been looking out for me that day.
