rockman_x_2002 Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 Hey folks, Just got home not long ago. Did a little sight-seeing and thrift/pawn/flea marketing. And finally it paid off. Last shop I stopped at I found five Atari carts. Four commons: Asteroids, Combat, Super Breakout, and Star Raiders. I passed on those because I already had them. Feeling that the shop didn't have anything else, I grabbed up the Super Breakout cart that had apparently fallen off into a box below the table and was going to place it back with the other four carts. And lo, I found a fifth cart. And so today, I snatched up a copy of The Earth Dies Screaming for $1. Could've bought the other games for $1 each too (and that was just her asking price), but I'm only looking for titles that I don't have right now. Not a significant find, but for my area, it's a wonder I even found so much as a Combat cart. Much less anything rarer than a 4. So I bought my game, and left the little shop... screaming of course.

Though I went next door to Big Lots and bought two PC games on clearance for $3.75 each. By then the screaming wore off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No problem but it was funny as heck (sorry didn't mean to curse ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No problem but it was funny as heck (sorry didn't mean to curse ) Actually to be perfectly honest I never really got a good chance to watch. Have no idea why, though. Just always stuck to my other "tried and true" animated series, y'know. That and I spent more time playing games than watching cartoons in the first place. Besides, my humor level is way out of whack today. It's been one of those days, y'know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
