Total cost $12

munchiaz · 05/18/2013, 08:15 PM

Some new stuff. Got the Pokemon from my brother. Glad I got the game & watch collection 2. I missed out on the first one on club Nintendo. I used to really enjoy playing the game & watch collection on the game boy

Picked up a nice Android 4.1 tablet today with a 9" wide screen display. Not a bad little device. Stopped at a cool game store not far from me and snagged a complete Virtua Racing for the Genny and a Gyromite converter cart from a collectibles store in the mall. Almost grabbed one of those nice Sega brand Genesis 3 button arcade sticks, but wasn't sure if $10 was a good deal for it or not.

Super Mario Bros. Deluxe (GBC): $.75 cents.

No kidding. I think my head would explode if I actually found some 'bob in the "true" wild. Meaning, not flea market gougers.

My local thrift has been treating me kindly lately. $2 each...

Well if that's the case, perhaps I'll grab it next time I'm up there. Never used one, but heard good things about them. The android tab wound up going back. Damn thing started freezing up a lot and something didnt seem right with the browser. Wouldn't always register taps on the screen. A shame since it seemed really nice at first.

Yarr. It's hard to read at that size, but the subtitle beneath Parasol Stars reads as "The Story of Bubble Bobble III".

Well, I got a couple in last week to cross off the list anyway...

The Alien Crush on the right is from forum member Trenton_net, btw. Great seller! Check his thread out for some great trades/sales.

So far I'd pretty much have to agree with you. (But I really like the pinball games, so it's a touch call...) I like how open world it is despite being a 2D platformer. I haven't played any of the Wonder Boy games besides the first one. (Thank you, other game called Adventure Island.)
Btw, how do I get those "?" Items in the shops? I can't seem to buy them even if I have enough gold.

jeffhlewis · 05/21/2013, 03:33 PM

Fear for your soul my friend...I didn't think it was possible but AES prices have actually gotten WORSE in the past year. Even my top-secret AES new-old-stock resource online has jacked up the most basic games to $50-90 a piece.

Still think neo-geo.com forums are probably the best source but I haven't ventured back there in ages. Flame war central.

I was lurking around there a while back. They're too busy hacking the Neo-Geo X right now... and occasionally flame warring over the ethics of that.

chany60126 · 05/21/2013, 06:57 PM

Occasionally great deals can be had on N-G from people getting out of collecting. I've gotten some rock bottom prices for AES games relative to the going prices. You just have to be very patient and vigilant of the sales threads.

There's deals to be had there still. Though i haven't bought a game for my cmvs in quite a few years at least

Still i hear it's pretty bad now getting a good deal for the aes on ebay for how much, it's getting flooded with boots now.

Stopped in at the local thrift shop this morning and walked out with a Sega 6 button arcade stick for Genny still in the box with a bonus Genny 2 RF unit, a 30gb iPod photo in good condition loaded to the brim with songs, and 3 X-Com PC games (UFO Defense, Terror from the Deep, and Interceptor) for $10. Picked the right day to stop in cause I was told the arcade stick and iPod were just put out today.
