I found a bunch of PS1 games today at a thrift store - $4.99 each. They all have the artwork and the manuals.
Alundra (with map)
Alundra 2
Darkstone
Darkstalkers 3
Final Fantasy Origins
Inuyasha
Legend of Legaia
Legend of Lagoon (green label)
Medieval II
Metal Gear Solid
Parasite Eve
Xenogears
Most of the cases are fairly rough - so I will be replacing most of them - no biggie though.
That's a nice haul but couldn't this go in the haul topic?
I wanted to say something witty about Legend of Lagoon being a Legend of Dragoon spinoff game, but watching my dog knock over all of my possessions with his cones must've made me too stupid to think of one. That's pretty solid though. I've been on the lookout for Alundra for a while.
If I had known there was a haul thread I would have. Perhaps someone can merge the two?Quote:

I already have twisted metal - but I will make you a fair deal on the Darkstalkers - not really my type of game but I see stuff so seldomly anymore I just grab things when they appear.Quote:

It was awesome to go to thrift stores about 10 years ago. I’d see stuff like boxed SNES Star Fox and Capcom Classics for Xbox on the cheap. Now, I never see anything.
I have been going to thrift stores for 40 years or so - it use to be pretty amazing what would show up (not just video games obviously - any more it is difficult to find much of anything really interesting.Quote:

Resellers.
Great find.:)
Goodwill is in on the action is well. They now do local blind bidding on games and computer equipment. I used to tell people that they can get a cheap computer at Goodwill, but not anymore. You’ll never see PCs, even laptops, at the Goodwill stores.Quote:

I still find good stuff at goodwill from time to time, although their prices are incredibly hit or miss.
