teh "what did you buy today"-thread

Nice shooters, Bardoly! Cotton is one of my favorites.

Tpivette - the TurboBooster Plus may be my favorite Turbo accessory. I keep a TurboGrafx with one hooked up next to my Duo just so I can have all of my Turbochip save files in one place. It can hold most of the U.S. library minus OotG.

Found some decent stuff today:

Goodwill:

Doom II (PC) Big Box, 3.5" Floppy Disc version: 75 cents
Playstation Mouse with mousepad: $2.50
Xbox RF Adapter NIB: $3.00

Thrift Store:

System Shock 2 (Jewel Case/CD) PC: $1.49
PS2 Slim (with spongebob game inside) AS-IS: $5.99
GBA system: $7.99
Halo 2 (Xbox): $5.00

In the mail today:

Code of Princess from Amazon: $0.00
Tales of Graces F Special Edition (PAL): $40.00 shipped


--So the PS2 slim I got from a Goodwill about a month ago, ended up not powering on so I sold it on Ebay for $50 shipped (paid $10 for it), and hopefully this PS2 slim has the same result online). System Shock 2 surprisingly goes for quite a bit disc only. About $30+. Playstation mouse (complete in box) goes for $25+, and Doom II maybe $30 and up. I think I did pretty well considering.

Funny you mention that, cause thats the exact reason I have it hooked up... keeping all my TurboChip saves in one place (and saving room on my CDRom & Duo for CD game saves).

nothing to do with gaming... although playing while in a warm environment helps

Just received my kerosene/paraffin heater.   Used to have one of these back in the 70's although not like this one. 

Hopefully it will keep the room warm this winter and not worry about the increase in energy bills this year.

Thrift Store:

Virtual-On Oratorio Tangram (CD/Misc Jewel Case only): $3.00
Airforce Delta (Complete): $3.00
Prince of Persia: Arabian Nights (Complete): $3.00
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater (Complete): $3.00

Always wanted Virtual-On back in the day. I believe it's some 2D/3D robot fighting game. All were $3.00/ea no tax, but the last time I was there, I got two Dreamcast games and they were $2.00/ea--different worker, I suppose.

Hit the Thrift Store today... no finds, but I did pick up a Spiderman backpack for my young lad.  $4!  Score!

Went to the thrift store yesterday. It was packed out the door and I had no idea why. I found a 3rd-party, 6-button Genesis pad with turbos for $4. I took it to the counter and realized they were having a 50% off sale. Could have bought a Gamecube for $10, but that would have broken my rule about nothing post-N64.

Then just buy the GameCube for the GameBoy Player. Play all your GB, Game Boy Color, and Game Boy Advance (post-N64, I know, but has much in common with the SNES) games in component. That is if you are lucky enough to find a component cable for the GC.

$1 each...

All complete, all less than going price, local too.  I'm a happy kid.

Firestriker is fun. Don't know anything about Young Merlin...looks like it's a Westwood game!

It's a weird little game, pretty fun though.

Fortress of Fear might not be enjoyed by anyone that hasn't played it before, but I LOVED this game as a kid.  Bouncy hero and all.  One of my most played GB games by far.
