Hey hey, guys! I’m back to semi-regularity with these articles, now. I’ve been working on not spending quite so much time or money at thrift stores (so as not to have my wife calls Hoarders or something), but that doesn’t mean I can’t still put together compelling game hunt articles. I’ve learned to be a [...]
Game Hunt (08/08/10): Stretch Panic, Sacrifice, Sonic, Supercharger, & More S’sIt’s been another long layoff between articles, but then again, my game hunting has slowed somewhat lately. Since I don’t have as many eye-popping finds to brag about, this installment will focus more on the quirky, unique, and downright weird things I’ve uncovered in the last few months. Get ready for the off-the-wall and the [...]
Game Hunt (05/03/10): Super Scope, Jack Bros, Odin Sphere, & MoreMy apologies for the long absence, faithful readers. I got married between now and the last installment of Game Hunts, which took a lot of my free time away. You’ll be happy to know that I haven’t let up on my hunting, though. I even snuck in a thrift store stop on my wedding day! [...]
Game Hunt (02/15/10): Kim Possible, GBC Lot, & A Flock of WavebirdsHappy President’s Day, fellow hunters! As I write this, with some of the best sales of the year looming on the horizon, I reflect on how game collecting has transformed what used to be a “who cares” holiday into a day that I look forward to months in advance. As with last year, I’m taking [...]
Game Hunt (02/02/10): Game Hunt MiniWhile Eric had a ton of great finds last week, I haven’t had too much to talk about lately, as I have been trying to catch up on all the stuff I bought in previous game hunts. However, I have a Game Hunt quickie on this Tuesday evening. Read on…
Game Hunt (01/24/10): Year End Round-upFellow hunters, I have returned! It’s been a while since I put together a game hunt article, but that doesn’t mean I’ve been resting on my laurels. On the contrary, December and January have been very kind to me, with a surprise “After Christmas” sale at Goodwill, and good fortune all around. Lots of real [...]
Game Hunt (12/08/09): PC Classics, Action Figures, Golden Tee, & MoreWell, Black Friday Sales have come and gone, and it turns out even thrift stores are getting in on the action nowadays! Goodwill lowered blue tags to 99 cents, and offered 40% off pink and green, which isn’t bad. St Vincent de Paul had everything half-off, which was even better, but they tend to have [...]
Game Hunt (11/29/09): Clearanced Wii Titles, Portable Deals, & MoreAlthough Good-Evil was quiet this week due to the holiday, I was still keeping a vigilant eye out for any Black Friday related game deals for this column. While I ended up with quite a nice little bounty, none of these were any more than clearance-priced items that I happened to pick up, and most [...]
Game Hunt (11/22/09): GB Games, Saturn Stick, Fire N Ice, & MoreThis last week was pretty average for me: I found a decent amount of games, had a couple trips where I found nothing, and also ran across some truly hard-to-find items. I actually stumbled upon a very rare NES gem early in my hunting, and was never able to match the awesomeness of that as [...]
Game Hunt (11/15/09): Monster Haul!I thought it might be hard to follow up last week’s haul, and while I didn’t find anything approaching the rarity and wow-factor of the Miracle Piano, I found some really neat stuff, and lots of it. Not to mention more no-brainer deals that fell into my lap in the last couple days. Last week [...]
