Went to a local place that I hadn't been to before. Lots of piles of stuff everywhere in there, reminded me of some of the booths in an indoor flea market around here... :)
For $17 I got the following:
Game Gear
--
Bugs Bunny in Double Trouble (cart and case) - not a great game I think, but oh well.
SNES
--
Cybernator (cart only) - pretty good price for a great classic I think... :)
PSX
--
Bubsy 3D (no manual) - Just a few bucks for an infamous "classic"? As soon as I saw it I had to get it... and I've played level one now, and it's not too bad. Sure, it's no Mario 64, but it's not actually awful I think, for 1996... I'll have to play it more, but so far I'm a little bit pleasantly surprised. :) (The main negative is Bubsy's floaty, tank controls. It can kill you -- sliding off platforms into pits, etc. Oh well, I'm sure you get used to it...)
PC (both jewelcase only)
--
Sim Theme Park -- It's basically Theme Park 2, and Theme Park was awesome.
Star Wars: Episode 1 Racer - Yeah, the PC version of ... THAT game. That I've always kind of disliked on the N64 thanks to its crazy difficulty level. Why did I get this again... but somehow I couldn't resist. Oh well... we'll see if this version's any different.
Then I went to a Goodwill near there, and didn't see much, but there was one game there, that's probably the best game I got today... for $2...
PC
--
Heavy Gear -- with jewelcase, manual and quick reference card! Awesome, awesome stuff for a mech-sim classic... I will definitely need to play this game.
They also had a Microsoft Sidewinder USB Force Feedback Wheel, but it was $8 with no power supply and it does require one, so after considering it for a while I ended up not getting it. I imagine finding one of those power supplies would be a real pain...
