Awesome Retro Finds of the Week 06: Filling the Gaps

I'm not really a completionist when it comes to video game collecting; there are a few key pieces I need on my shelf and the rest I usually just sell once I've completed it. But for those of you who ARE completionists, trying to obtain every little title published for your console of choice, I definitely recommend checking out the used retro titles on Amazon. The great thing about Amazon is that with all these sellers competing against one another, you'll often see some titles available for as low as a penny + shipping. If you're looking to just fill some gaps in your collection, give Amazon a browse.

I did just that this week and wound up picking up Syphon Filter for $0.99. This shipping was $3.99, bringing the total to $4.98. My rule of thumb is to never pay more than $5 for a retro title, so this was great for me. I've never played this game, but I've heard decent things.

As for thrift store finds, I picked up a MadCatz Game Boy AC adapter to cut down on battery costs when using my Game Boy Pocket. It was $2. A lot cheaper (and more environmentally friendly) than constantly replacing the batteries!

Next week I'll be going to four new thrift stores in the neighboring city. Hopefully I find some great stuff!
