The following photos are the results of several different stores over the past month or so. They're all sideways, apparently, except the bottom.

Found a random yard sale today and couldn't believe my luck when I saw a GameCube! Also picked up some PS2 and 1 PS3 game, and a PS3 controller.

Giving a bump.

Megamania (Atari 2600)

Unfortunately, the Wii Fit disc cannot be read by my Wii, so looks like I'll need to troll Ebay for a replacement.

Teleroboxer (Virtual Boy) Anything up to Wii, PS3, Xbox 360 is fair game, IMHO, since that generation is now almost 20 years old.

I made another small pick up at a flea market yesterday. Couple Wii games, and PC games, as well as that Donkey Kong Country VHS. It's never been opened, and I don't plan to open it or even have a VCR right now, but I could NOT pass that up for my collection. Also picked up a DVD about the behind-the-scenes making of Jeopardy!, my favorite game show ever.

Eternal Champions (Genesis)

It added the photo upside down, for some reason. It's STILL upside down, WTH?

It's not exactly a thrift find, AND it's been a long time for me, but I made a modest score at a little store that sells stuff found in unclaimed storage units that I found while in town for a lunch date today. 6 NES games; Astyanax, Bubble Bobble, Fester's Quest, Little Nemo: The Dream Master, M.C. Kids, and Tiny Toon Adventures. Plus those various PS2 and one PS1 game. All for $60 even. Also found a copy of the Hyrule Encyclopedia at Walmart, and also got the new Lego Star Wars game. All in all, it was a great day.

Hey man, I'm SUPER late to the party, but are these still available? I used to have both in my collection, but I lost them in the fire that destroyed part of my collection back in 2019. I'd REALLY love to fill that gap in my collection again.

Neutopia (TG16)

Kaboom (Atari 2600)

Yep. The clear ones only work on GBC, but there were quite a few games released with black carts and compatible with the GB just after the GBC came out. Wario Land 2 is one of the more high profile games released in a black cart, but Pokémon Pinball and Bugs Bunny Crazy Castle are two more.

It has a black cartridge, which shows that it is compatible with an OG GB.

Mario's Picross is an awesome puzzle game for sure. Mole Mania is one I'd suggest. It was made by Shigeru Miyamoto, the Mario and Zelda creator, but nobody ever talks about it.

My main goal is still trying to reacquire everything I had before the fire destroyed my collection back in 2019. I've managed to get back about 65%, I wanna say, but I'm still missing a lot, like almost all my Game Boy games.

Late to the party, but if you're into RPGs, well... On DS, there's remakes of Dragon Quests 4, 5, 6, and Final Fantasy 3 and 4. All highly recommended. Chrono Trigger got a great port, too. Dragon Quest 9 is great, too. Nostalgia, Glory of Heracles, Golden Sun: Dark Dawn, Lufia: Curse of the Sinistrals, Final Fantasy Tactics A2, FF Crystal Chronicles: Rings of Fate, FF The Four Heroes of Light are all great, too. On the 3DS side there are Bravely Default and Bravely Second, multiple Etrian Odyssey games, Ever Oasis, Fantasy Life, and several Fire Emblem games. Also several Mario & Luigi games on both DS and 3DS. I'm a bit of an RPG nut.

Banjo Kazooie is slated to be added to the N64 lineup this month.

These are my most recent purchases from the latter half of 2021. Sadly I haven't been able to do much vintage buying in awhile, so the oldest game I've bought in ages is "Banjo Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts" for the Xbox 360.
