Awesome Retro Finds of the Week 04: After the Storm

We actually went a week without a storm! Yay! You know what that means - happy awesome thrift store time!

With a name like "Patriotic Pinball", how could it be bad?!?!

First off, I found these two Playstation games. I've decided 2011 will be the "Year of the Playstation" as I'm going to especially focus on building up my PSX library. Here we have Star Wars: Rebel Assault II and Patriotic Pinball. $2.99 and $1.99, respectively. I dunno about that pinball game, I just bought because it was there and only $1.99. Well, whatever...

Then I went to the Goodwill on the other side of town. Wow, what a great day for finding stuff! They had just put out a TON of new games! It looked almost as if some college kid's mom dumped off all his old Genesis and N64 games. The best part was that almost everything was in the package, even the N64 games which had that terrible cardboard packaging. The bad part was that the Goodwill seems to get that the packaging makes the game worth more money: cartridges only were $4 each, full package games were $8. I saw a copy of Street Fighter II which I absolutely wanted, but I try to stick to a no-more-than-$5-a-game limit. They also had a complete Perfect Dark, but I already have the cartridge, so it seemed wasteful to pay $8 essentially so I could get packaging.  

I only wound up getting four Genesis games:

Cartridge only Genesis games.

I got Ecco the Dolphin, The Lion King, Mortal Kombat, and Desert Strike: Return to the Gulf. Each one was $4. I really liked The Lion King when I was a kid, maybe next time I can find Aladdin! Hwah!
