That Gyruss in particular is a good score for a buck!  It took me a LONG time to get one.

 

You know, I didn't recognize this title until I played it. Then I remembered. I have it on the C-64 and totally forgot about it. So I pop it in (the newly aquired 2600 cart), start playing it and WHAM! Oh hell ya! I love this game!

I just found a 2600 at Goodwill with a Gemstik (or whatever), AC adapter, and 8 games. E.T., Freeway, Outlaw, Grand Prix, Defender, Frogger, and two others that I can't remember. $25 total, but I can't get the picture to quit rolling long enough for me to play. Maybe I'll figure out how if I look around on the forums some more.

Didn't find anything thrifting, but got some nice stuff at a GameStop. I picked up a Sega Saturn RF adapter (so I can finally use the one I bought a couple of weeks ago), and copies of Star Voyager, Journey to Silius, Elevator Action, Rolling Thunder, and Vindicators for the NES. Total, $11.75.

I didn't find much today. I kept finding Sega Genesis version 1 consoles all over the place, one even in the box. Too bad i'm not looking for one. But I did pick up a couple of games, Sonic & Knuckles and Starflight, $1.99 each. I discovered a Goodwill Superstore that I didn't know was there, and I bought Max Magic, Palm Springs Open Golf, and Golden Oldies Jukebox for the Phillips CD-i, and a Sega Saturn controller extension cord, new. All together, $14. I passed on the several unopened Mad Catz Dreamcast controllers and the Lightgun.

Went to a flea market, bought a Philips CD-i control pad and a copy of Apprentice, River Rescue for the Atari 800, and Spike for the Vectrex. Total, $35.

 

The guy at the flea market has all sorts of classic systems, along with a great selection of games. He had just bought in a load of stuff, including a bunch of Philips CD-i games and discs that he got from a Philips corporate executive. Most of his stuff was exclusive demo stuff and betas. He had a corporate management only pre-release of Zelda's Adventure! He's putting it all on eBay soon. That Zelda one will be worth a lot.
