Official Sega-16 Haul Thread. 4.0

According to my local Gamestop, the closest copy of Retro Game Challenge they have is in Pennsylvania. This game is über rare. This is ALWAYS the case when I try to buy a DS game, nobody has it... or has even received a copy! It's like the DS is a super unpopular system that nobody stocks games for.

@ AD

I see what you're saying, but this is definitely a "refurbished" game. It was cheap, rubbery cellophane with the big seam running down the back, the cartridge was upside down, the manual was creased, and the warranty card was folding sloppily in half and stuffed on top. Plus, in my experience, the manuals always go behind the rest of the inserts. This one was right up front.

He said he bought it directly from Best Buy, so it's not impossible that they didn't reseal it themselves.

But I'm 100% positive that it wasn't "new & mint" as the title suggested.

The guy lives IN Cali Matthews. The time for vigilante justice is now.

[MrMatthews]

LOL

Yeah, maybe you, tanegashima and I should pay him a little visit.

(he denied my request for a partial refund BTW)

[MrMatthews]

I already have the two N64 games, but I couldn't pass up complete copies of each.

[Youngie]

MrMatthews: how much for all that good stuff?

Myself: WCW/NWO Revenge (N64 - CIB) €5. I sold this game years ago (what a maroon i was...)

[MrMatthews]

Eh, nothing was a "steal," really.

$7.99 for each of the N64 games, $9.99 for Resident Evil 3, and $19.99 for LocoRoco 2.

[Metal_Sonic]

I hate to admit it but the music in all the LocoRoco games are all pretty bitching. Just bought Ironman in Bluray but since everyone complains about the noise level I watch movies in, I'll wait for a day when I'm home alone.

[MrMatthews]

Anyone who manages to resist the charms of LocoRoco has a heart of stone.

[Metal_Sonic]

True, I found myself humming the LocoRoco Cocoreccho theme, and when I was done, I could still hear it in my head. Almost forgot, I got SSFII Turbo HD Remix on PSN. Street Fighter II could be the most recycled game ever, if only we could make useful appliances, utensils, and utilities with it.

I'm getting two NES systems tomorrow for 37$.

Oh man, I've got a Craigslist horror story. The day that i arranged with the guy on Craigslist to pick the two NES' up the guy all of a sudden went for a trip in the mountains on the weekend, fair enough.

But today I traveled a half an hour going to meet this person at the SkyTrain station, I looked for twenty minutes, and he never showed up. It was a little scary, because I could have sworn that I was about to get jumped when some jackass decided that he was going to block the way down the stairs until I told him what time it was.

So I decided to leave, but on the radio on the way home I heard that there was a shooting in front of the mall near where this guy had lived, the police said that he wasn't aloud to leave his house until they collected evidence of the shooting.

That's messed.

So now I'm going to pick the stuff up on Friday.

[genocide-superstar]

Now's the time to haggle.

[Joe Redifer]

some jackass decided that he was going to block the way down the stairs until I told him what time it was.

WTF?

[16-bit]

WTF?

I think he was high or something.

[Metal_Sonic]

I think he was high or something.

Trust me, you meet some of the weirdest people on the metro. I seen, a black gay dude screaming at nothing, tranny or crossdresser(I'm not finding out), some mexican dude rapping into a newspaper and.....well, the people were dirty. Seriously everyone was just off.
