There's a buy 2 get 2 free sale at Gamestop for the next week on GBA, GC, and PS2 games. Also, Gamestop has stopped buying used GBA games and accessories now, since early April. They canned GBA support right around the 3DS release, obviously. (They did this with Xbox years ago, but I think they still might take PS2 and GC?)
So, I bought stuff, both there (For the PS2 and GC games in this list) and at another store (the classic stuff).
Game Boy - GB/GBC games $3 each, buy 2 get 1 free (so $6 total)
--
Street Racer
Boomer's Adventure in Asmik World
GBC - all cart only.
--
Army Men: Air Combat (as part of above deal)
Inspector Gadget: Operation Madkactus - $2
Test Drive Cycles - $2
Genesis
--
Fire Shark - $10, cart in case - another Toaplan shooter. It costs this much on ebay to get a cart only copy, copies with the box are more... though no manual, but still a good find.
NES
--
Wurm: Journey to the Center of the Earth (cart only)- $5 ea. for the next 3, another buy 2 get 1 free deal. Action game with several gameplay styles -- first person target shooting, sidescrolling platforming, and shmup/vehicular combat. Good game, but not great. Awesomely bad cartridge art. :)
Rolling Thunder - I love this game so much... I'd been looking for it for quite a while, it's just a fantastic find. Rolling Thunder is very hard, but outstanding.
Playstation
--
Novastorm - complete longbox copy, as the third game in the above deal. The case is cracked, but otherwise intact, including the hinges. This two disc game is an enhanced version of the original version of Novastorm released earlier for the Sega CD (on one disc there I believe). This uses the Sega CD/Sega Saturn style of longbox case. Awesome. :)
Project Horned Owl - complete normal jewelcase. $4. It's a lightgun shooter, makes me wish I had a PSX mouse or Konami Enforcer...
GC (buy 2 get 2 free so I had to find stuff to fill this out once I decided I wanted Gladius)
--
Gladius - $6, disc in Gamestop case
Megaman X Command Mission - $6, complete
Naruto Clash of Ninja 2 - free, would have been $5, complete
Cel Damage - free, would have been $3, no manual
PS2 (buy 2 get 2 free)
--
SpyHunter 2 - $5 (complete)
Savage Skies - $4 (disc and case, no manual)
Shinobi - free, would have been $3 (disc in Gamestop case)
Barbarian - free, would have been $3 (complete)
DS
--
Nintendo DS Rumble Pak - $2, from Gamestop. Not sure if I have compatible games, but I don't remember seeing these in Gamestop before, and they were with the GBA games, so I got one. :)
