The goodwill in bedford had a stack of like 30 games. But, they were $3.50 each so I only got 2 and 2 controllers. I bought the gold zelda, and pinball with a famicon converter in it. I took a couple other games apart there looking for other adapters, but to no avail. not bad for $12 total. I guess somebody already got the NES itself.

Nicely done. The Goodwills around here are way too inconsistent with pricing... some are $.50 for a game, others are $7.00 a pop. I usually wouldn't go more than two bucks, but those are some pretty good finds.

Although I wouldn't crack open Pinball, unless it's otherwise worthless. Maybe Gyromite? Found a few of those games, but only one R.O.B...

I once paid only a buck each for a Gold Zelda cart and a copy of Dragon Warrior. It was at a Hotline thrift store. And once, I bought, for only $2, a copy of Street Fighter: The Movie for the Saturn with a copy of Fighting Vipers inside!

Do goodwill's consistently have games in stock? I've never even thought of looking there before. Hmmm.

I think that depends on the individual store. My local Goodwill has only a Super Scope cartridge for the SNES that's been there as long as I can recall. They had a copy of Platoon for NES once, but that disappeared.

Me and my brother might need to check this out. :]

I believe Gold Zelda is actually more common than Grey Zelda.

The ones near me never have crap!

Most they had was a N64 and PS1 fat.

If you want a copy of Platoon, I got a copy I want to get rid of.

I don't have any Goodwill stores nearby (that I know of, anyway), but there are a couple Salvation Army locations. One is an old toy store, the other is a 3 story mill. I used ot get $1 albums all the time, but now they're really expensive.

Computer stuff also costs a small fortune there, too. An old IBM PC with a 386 and 12" monitor, for only $150! What a BARGAIN! [/sarcasm]

I think their pricing guide says "Anything that plugs into the wall: $50. Add $50 for every green board inside that you don't understand."

I did get a WOW Thing for a buck once. It just needed a power supply. (It's a small external box that adds SRS WOW and TruBass effects to any audio line. Play an MP3 in Windows Media Player, and turn off the effects. Then turn them back on. Now imagine that effect on every sound, and you've got a failry close analogue.)

As for video game stuff, they usually only have a pile of common Atari 2600 titles, PSX discs with chunks missing, and broken Genesis 2s. I don't even bother anymore.

Here's a crapload more, absolutely free.

You can download the .HQX files on your Windows desktop (there's just text files), then put them on a floppy and copy them onto the LC. Just use StuffIt Expander to expand them. (I'll make up a disk image with Expander on it that you can apply to a floppy if you need it.) With a 16 mhz 68030, you should be able to run most of the stuff on there.

Yes, the LC II has a 1.4 MB floppy drive and System 7, so it can read FAT formatted floppies.

Thanks, i have previously gotten rid of the lc 2 (my parents made me get rid of all my old computers before i could buy any more) But do you know if any of these games will run in classic mode in OSX?
