With great success. Have you ever been to a thrift store and seen two tubs filled to the top with Crappy 90's music, Educational games pawned of by local schools, AOL and Cereal Box freebies, and Rainbow Six Rejects, DO NOT WALK BY. I saw two tubs (between the two of them, they equivilated the size of a small bathtub) and I rolled my eyes, but after the realization that my goodwill has been cleaned out for the past 3 months, it's worth a shot, so I started digging through them. In hopes that I would find (atleast) an ealry 90's taiwanese pirate Beatles CD, I found Nights into Dreams. I saw it was the "Not For Resale" version that comes in a audio CD case and not the retail longbox so it was carelessly disguised next to StarCraft 3 and a Hanson CD. So I held it and figured "Manual and Case in good condition, I'll bet the disc looks like someone used it as a vinyl record." but nope, a near mint disc with little damage. Earlier I had grabbed Toughguy Contest (because it looked like arcade punchout) and Ghost House (... curiosity) so they were in the haul. I got to the register and I noticed there were no price tags, I started to panic but...

Ghost House - $1.99
Toughguy Contest - $5.99
Nights into Dreams - $2.99

*Notice the Beatles: Revolver clock in the disc reflection.

Also, a quick note, back in December all these were $1.99 and all but 2 were complete. It doesn't hurt to ask behind the counter.

Those Master System Mega Card covers really crack me up. I wish all games were represented by a hand holding up the cartridge/disc - it would really clear up the confusion about what you're actually buying.

Master Chief's hand holding up a Halo disc would be a great cover for *ANY* Halo game.
