Finds 564 Some Awesome Findings! Duel Disk, Nintendo 64 Controllers, and Games of course! ^_^

 
Here is another trip to the flea market gone right. There was definitely more than I could handle as I totally ran out of money! There are lots of goodies though, a little bit of everything like usual. Check it out!

Here are a bunch of Backyard Baseball 2005 games for resell. They were amazingly cheap!

Controllers for various consoles. I'm sure you can tell for which console each one is for.
A duel disk is always a great addition.
Loose disks are always a good pick up since people tend to get rid of them for mad cheap! There are 3DO, PS1, Xbox, and Dreamcast games in here!

This was a surprise. PSvita games for five bucks each. I picked up these four to add to my collection of Vita games which was non-existent.

Here are some portable games as well as GTA collector's edition for the PS1. The Gameshark was also a nice pick up.

Finds 563: Super Mario All-Stars Wii Limited Edition

I went to do a couple of deals and then on the way back stopped at a pawn shop. I didn't know I would bump into this Super Mario All-Stars for the Wii. This is the limited edition and the soundtrack is still sealed. I was a little bummed out though because when I registered the game, I didn't get any coins! :(

Finds 562: Radiant Historia and Zelda Gasha Figurines!


Here is a game I've been wanting for a while and was finally able to find it. Radiant Historia is one of those games that remind you of Chrono Trigger. I'm definitely planning on playing through this game. I also got some Gasha Zelda figurines from Gamestop. They're always fun to open to see its contents.

CIB Sunday 008: Grandia (PS1)

Here is a little late entry but totally worth it. It's Grandia for the PS1. This is the first game of the Grandia series which is quite good. Wish we could get more games from this series....

Sega Saturday 008: Inside the Game Gear

So this is mega late but whatever, it's here anyways. This is the inside of a Game Gear. There are a lot of different components of this big handheld. It's a shame that they are so fragile. Half the time you'll find them in non-working order.

 So it's finally here. Another awesome addition to my collection. It's the Turbo Express handheld! It's so amazing and bulky. Now, the start of collecting even more Turbo Grafx games has begun! I'm extremely happy with my addition! Also, don't forget about Grandia!! Another gem RPG I wanted for my collection. Things are looking up!

Here is the ridiculous amount of batteries it needs to operate. I really need to get an AC adapter.

Retro-bit of the day 182: Pet in TV (PS1)

Here is a very odd game for the PS1. There were definitely a lot of bizarre games out there so this one shouldn't be any different! 

Share:

Retro-bit of the day 181: Marvel vs Street Fighter (PS1)

This is a very awesome game but it lacks a lot of features from the arcade version. The whole point of playing this game was to tag team with someone but the hardware limitations weren't able to accomplish such task. Oh well...
