Went to Goodwill. They had some interesting stuff. Two games, two other things.
DS
--
Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow - $5, complete (quite cheap... :))
PC

Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Republic Heroes - $2, complete
Playstation

A Mad Catz Playstation 1 racing wheel, with the box (no manual). It's got both the wheel and the pedals, and works fine, I've tested it. It's kind of cool, the wheel or NeGcon are the only ways to get analog in many earlier PSX racing games like Wipeout, Wipeout XL, etc, and is supported by almost all PS1 racing games and a few PS2 ones as well. I'd sort of wanted a NeGcon, but this will do nicely... it takes a lot of adjusting to get used to the wheel, and I don't know if I'll actually use it more than the pad, but it's great to have. I was just playing some Wipeout and Wipeout XL, trying to get used to it.
Finally, for $3 I got a loose (system only, no cords) TI-99/4A computer from the late '70s. I wonder how much the audio and video cables for this thing cost... (controller aren't a problem at least, like most computers from the era it's Atari/Sega Genesis controller compatible). It's cool looking, with a shiny silver metal top and black plastic bottom. I have never owned any '80s computers...
