I bought a few things, not as much as I wish though, and certainly nothing compared to what some others bought.

MGC buttons x5. $1 for five?! Can you pass that kind of a deal up?

Super Mario Bros. for the Atari 2600..... lol :lol: .... and only $5

3rd party Dreamcast controller. $2

Xbox360 Guitar Hero II, $20. For that you get the game, the controller the whole darn thing.

D+Pad Hero, $15.

Not a bad haul. Would have loved to get a Genesis v3, and Alter Beast (sorry Jason)... But I'll have to look into those another time, maybe even next MGC.

Kings Quest VI?! Awesome find! I played that game and it's cool. You need the get the manual or book, whatever it is, you'll need it to get through the game.

I'm hoping to see some of the other stuff the other guys got, but nice spoils so far.

Yeah, I've played it before. I believe I already have the book - just didn't have the disk.

Just cataloged all my genesis games and because of this, I now have 199 genesis games instead of 200, which I would have inadvertently achieved.
