Finds 233: Tommy Hilfiger Gameboy and an array of great finds!

It's flea market time again and why not now since we just turned two! I know we are still babies according to everyone in the web but you have to think of internet years! Two is a lot! Anyways, there is a story behind each of these finds so lets get started!
Lets start off with a really neat find. I was looking at some Nintendo 64 games which I was planning on purchasing until this guy out of nowhere came to look and took them off my sight. He did asked if I was going to buy them but I wasn't sure because I would have spent all the money I had left so I let him have them. It was alright though, the same seller then took out this Tommy Hilfiger gameboy that I have never seen before so I asked how much and he said three dollars. I said yeah but then as I was about to pay for it, I saw a box underneath the table and found a little something which he gave me for free with the gameboy purchase. Another plus was that it came with the Super Mario Deluxe cart while the Double Dragon cart I purchased from another vendor for two dollars. A really good find in my book!
So here is the other thing I got with the gameboy...hmm no it's not the long box PS1 title but the Famicom Multicart! Yes, this little game was right there looking at me trying to shine the sun on its cart coat and caught my attention. Now, if you must know the Tennis long box game was a dollar from another vendor. This one is going to my long box collection.
I must have passed by this game at least three times before I decided to get it. It only cost a dollar but what I liked the most(if you know me you should know!) Is the graphics on the box!! Can't beat Apache Strike released in 1987!
It was very umm coincidental to run into this game as I was in the middle of a trade for it in the first place so in a way I'm really happy but I'm not sure the dude I was working on a trade with will be happy by the end of the day. Anyways, I picked this game up from many that were available but overall this was the one I wanted. A funny thing happened when I was paying for it though. I had a ten dollar bill and handed it to the vendor but somehow she said it was a twenty dollar bill until she was giving me that change back and I told her it's a ten, then she said "Wow you are on in a million" I know I know, I'm da best! har har har!
Rewinding back to my search for the twenty foot soldiers....well lookie here! I just found the second one so that's 2/20 complete. Only eighteen more to go! Oh yeah if you must know, I paid a dollar for this one and the game my brother paid .50 cents for and just gave it to me.

I mainly bought this lot for the Lolo game and didn't had a problem paying two dollars for it. I guess the rest of the games can be used to include in lots I'll be selling. Don't get me wrong, they aren't bad games(looks at NBA Jam) They are just wayyyy too common!
This guide was very interesting and it was pretty much free so nothing bad about free stuff right? Good old Gamefan days....
This wireless NES connector receiver thingy was also free.....go figure....
There was also this awesome Sega Saturn with Tetris Plus in it. Hmm not sure if it works or not but the Tetris Plus disc is minty enough to be worth a three dollar buy don't ya think?
So to wrap things up, I bought all these controllers for 12 dollars. I should be OK with N64 controllers for a while although I already have each of these colors they will definitely help me with my hobby. Well, that should do it for this trip. There will be a lot of more stuff coming in the coming weeks as well and I promise a bunch of other updates including how I started off a new collection...you'll see what I mean. Until next time!
