I bought Xevious, StarTropics, and Commando for the NES. And in a different store, I bought an old NES to play them on. Of course, it doesn't work...... And I can't seem to find a screwdriver to open the stupid thing up......
It uses a philips, not some strange screwdriver (at least mine did :ponder: )

Unfortunately, i'm the kind of guy who can't keep tools in one place. The only Phillips I have right now is too short, and I don't know where my many other screwdrivers are.

 

I forgot to mention I also picked up Prize Fighter for the Sega CD today.

Not exactly a thrift find, but i went to a local used game store and found some 2600 carts. I got Yars' Revenge, Star Wars: Death Star Battle, Berzerk, Cosmic Ark, and Vanguard all for 6 bucks. Nothing too impressive, but I'm just starting so they were all things that I hadnt had yet. I also picked up an SMS for 40 bucks, I know its probably a bit overpriced but I was eager to try out the controller on my 7800. I may not keep it though because I dont have any games for it and Ive bever seen any around here.
