My best scores from day one.

Fewer vendors this year makes pickings slim. One guy has good stuff but he’s completely outrageous in price.

Hope to find more gems in day two

A lot of people don't seem to be pricing their games to sell. The market is oversaturated, but the prices keep going up.

Absolutely

We went to half priced books and Game Xchange during our dinner run.

GameXchange had Wall Street Kid for NES, a game I’ve been searching for forever. But the back was covered in marker

At Half Price Books I found the PS1 Grand Theft Auto Collectors Edition that has GTA 1,2, and London. $20 perfect condition.

Not going to Expo today. Snow and rain setting in and I’m exhausted lol.

Earlier this year/late last year I modded an OG Xbox for the purpose of playing NCAA 06. Got over that pretty quickly and now I want to play some of the old Zelda game I missed when I was a sports game exclusive guy back in the d*mn day as a youth. Lol

I've really been having a blast playing Madden 2004 and NCAA 2004 lately. Those are the best editions when you combine them. I would love to play Madden 2003 and NCAA 2003, but the absence of a running qb on Madden 2003 kills it for me.

Does anyone have that Sumosys retro system that has been advertised with over 10,000 retro games?

Went to the CinciClassic yesterday which was advertised as being similar to the Louisville Arcade Expo, but it wasn't even close. They advertised arcade cabinets, pinball machines, and classic consoles and handhelds, as well as vendors. Cost to get in was $10.

They had 5 arcade cabinets (2 didn't work), 1 pinball machine, a gameboy, and a NES. The Genesis and SNES didn't work either.

The vendors had some cool stuff but it was so damn overpriced. Def Jam Fight for NY (regular edition) was $90. That's BS. Splatterhouse 1 and 2 each were $300 or you could buy both for $550 (save $50)

I did buy Donkey Kong Classics on the NES (has DK and DK jr games) and GI Joe Rise of Cobra for PS3. I got both for $15 (each was $10) That wasn't bad.

Other than that the event was a complete waste of tie

I remember that G.I. Joe game being pretty good.

I haven't been tempted to venture out and look recently for games. Trying to play what I have, and that's been going well so far. Maybe in a couple of months I'll see what's out there, but the pricing is way out of control that deals are almost non-existent.
