Weekly update: June 11th - 17th, 2012

Nes pickups for the week ending June 17th:

This has probably been one of the most lucrative weeks for NES finds that I've experienced since I started seriously collecting again.  I'm very excited by the fact that I managed to obtain as many new titles in such a short time as I did.

Okay here goes:

Ms. Pacman (tengen) - this one is near and dear to my heart. Picked this gem up at Dragon Cards, Games & Collectibles here in town. The local laundromat growing up had this game and Kangaroo and I hit that machine with enough quarters to choke a mule.  

Bubble Bobble - another great arcade classic and personal favorite

Adventures of Lolo - this and the above game were from a pawn shop

And today at the flea market I cleaned up like a Dyson in a dust factory...

Usually I beeline for a guy who sells games inside the building that houses the weekly fleamarket, but for whatever reason today I decided to stroll around the outside first and I found another seller.  He told me that he doesn't set up every week and wasn't sure when he'd be back.  I will chalk this encounter up as right place, right time.  He gave me a screaming deal on 14 new games:

Alpha Mission

Battle Chess

California Games

City Connection

Deadly Towers

Dragon Power

Dynowarz

Gotcha!

Iron Tank

Legend of Kage

Pinbot

Sesame Street 1,2,3

Skull and Crossbones

Target: Renegade

17 games in one week. I am beside myself!!! I know that realistically I can't keep up this pace week to week if we hope to eat, make rent, etc. but it is a rare feat that I am equal parts proud and humbled by.

This was also a pretty cool week because my mom brought by my Legend of Zelda manual and map from my original game.  No cartridge unfortunatley, but it was cool to get those little items.
