Finds 344: Boxed NES Games ! I Just Got a Nostalgia Boner!


So it's time for some new findings. These are brought to you thanks to the good folks at eBay ^_^ How did I ended up with these games? How much did I paid? Be sure to read on to find out!



So it was a cold evening and I was browsing eBay as usual...I saw a bunch of boxed NES games for sale with a best offer button. I was like "Hey let me shoot an offer" so I did. I ended up getting denied twice before the site warned me that it was my last time to offer and I should get it right. Just for the hell of it, I ended up shooting another offer and it got accepted but guess what? It also ended up making me buy the game. And so on, 27 dollars later I got these four games, The combined shipping really saved my butt so I ended up paying around four bucks for each boxed game. It was more than just getting them but the joy of getting the right offer in each of them.

I'm pretty sure I already have this one.... but it's a true cult classic! Before there was Zelda 2, there was Faxanadu! The tough gameplay and satanic music really takes you over the edge...yeah I said satanic...to me it is! Just freaky!

Hmm I mainly got this one because it's a black box title. It's mega boring but it's one more marked down from my collection. har har har!



Finally, The Simpsons for the NES! I actually got a pirated version of this game for my seventh birthday. It was funny though, because the NES pirate would work in the store but once we took it home to play on my NES, it would boot with messed up graphics. We had to come back and guess which game I got instead? Crystalis! Best birthday evah!


So that's about it. There is something golden coming on the horizon, I just know it! Stay tuned!

Well, Faxanadu certainly is a good pick-up. The others ... well, like you said, at least you can tick them off of your list, right? :)
