Gamestore Pickups

 A Couple of months back, I found out about a Gamestore in Saint Cloud, MN, with a second smaller store in Monticello called Lewis Game Shop. I was up in Saint Cloud hitting up the thrift stores (Been finding great stuff up there) and had a stack of extra games laying around and it was time to do my yearly trade in and get what I get and buy some stuff. I also had a couple (5) discs resurfaced at $2.00 each Overall it was a great experience, at a great store with great selection and good prices! If you are in the area, it's worth checking out.


Let's see what I able to pickup


You know I love my Rally games

Mobil 1 Rally Championship
Complete

Need for Speed V-Rally
Complete

and continuing into Playstation 2

V-Rally 3
Complete

Crazy Taxi
Complete with Mini-Guide

Next, a game I could have sworn I had, but I did have the 2nd & 3rd on both Xbox and Playstation 2

Midnight Club Street Racing
Complete

Next, an interesting First Person Shooter

Fugitive Hunter, War on Terror
Complete

onto Xbox

Been starting to collect these Xbox Magazine Demo Discs
But only when they are Complete

Spy Hunter 2
Complete

Rainbow Six 3 Black Arrow
Complete

Still Life
Complete

Looks Interesting, can't wait to give it a play


and of course some Xbox 360

Armored Core V
Complete

Singularity
Complete

J.A.S.F. Jane's Advanced Strike Fighters
Complete


And another with a bonus guide

Stoked Big Air Edition
Complete


I also bought this, I absolutely love the Forza Motorsport series, but also Gran Turismo.

Gran Turismo Sport (PS4) Steelbook!

It was $14.99 with the game, I did end up selling just the game disc for $10.00 on eBay.

Next up some Sega Goodness


Picked this next one up from them for $2.99 disc only, because I have had just the case and manual for it since the pickup way back in July of 2015 (HERE) when I got the case with the Expendable game in it at salvation army. Nice to be able to finally complete it. That's why I hang on to just the cases when I find them.

Ultimate Fighting Championship
Now Complete

and also for the Dreamcast a $4.99 pickup

Test Drive Le Mans
Complete

as well as a $9.99 Sega CD Game

Formula One Beyond the Limit
Complete


And Finally, a game I had been chasing for a while. I remember being snobby (cause I am cheap) and laughing at a disc only copy with a blockbuster sticker on it 4-5 years ago for $15.00..........Regretted it the last few. Complete this game sells for between $80.00 and $100.00. Now I normally would not spend so much on a disc only game, but.....

#1 - It is one of my absolute favorite game series
#2 - I have had the case and manual I picked up for $5.00 years ago
and
#3 - Most Importantly I was spending trade credit, so splurged without guilt
