yeah theres a dreamcast on adverts.ie for €150, but you could haggle and try get it for less

cheers very much! and likewise! ill report back to everyone tomorrow on this charity shop

appleidog

for 150 euro that thing better come with 50 sealed hello kitty dreamcasts for that price.:rolleyes:

thanks matey, for the linkage.

Good luck with your charity search, just general rule of thumb don't go to oxfam to find games, they usually don't do games try barnados they are really good, and cancer research.


oh and just as a joke on the thread title. once i placed my bag on a grassy area to get something out and, my ds fell out, didnt relise, checking my bag and it wasnt there, so i ran back and it was hiding in folage. still there, nobody took it.

Atavan-Halen

yeah, was in oxfam because its just across the road, they had all the sims expansion packs and a grand total of 4 ps1 games, which included such fantastic titles such as: football-manager-no-ones-ever-heard-of's football game, fifa 99, fifa 97, and another football game

joy. :rolleyes:

anyways, this is gone off topic!

appleidog

it hasn't gone off topic saying obama is president is going off topic.:D

before oxfam in dundrum had a few, ps1 games like wwe. and driver i believe.

Atavan-Halen

haha, nah, was in oxfam in dundrum and just the usual stuff you find in charity shops

Who am I kidding.

It's on my shrine shelf along with Premiere Manager 97, Rise of the Robots, Strider 2, Universal Soldier and every FMV game ever made.

I'm a fraud!

Actually I wouldn't mind making a 'worst videogames of all time' box out of my collection. I have quite a few stinkers in there.

appleidog

lol. but like your self i generally pick up random stuff from the charity shop like rascal on ps1. oh and in london i picked up E.T on atari. boxed, oh the rarity..... $$$$$$. lol

Atavan-Halen

im back! from town anyways

was in every charity shop on capel street and nothing! one of them has to be lying...and i have a suspicion that it was the one where the woman didnt speak english (not being racist or anything) one of them said that they do get consoles in now and again, but as soon as they get them, they go out on the shelves. i did come across some quite mint nes games though, i cant really remember what games there were but one of them was kid icarus and another was just called soccer. they had the black nintendo slip case thingys on them and all, in very very good condition. €3 each. was actually tempted to get them even though i dont have a nes! yet...

i did however, get chu chu rocket, game & watch gallery and need for speed (there was nothing else) on the gba in gamestop and pokemon emerald in the retro kiosk in moore st. mall

as for rocky balboa, didnt ask how much it was because it was behind the counter


hahaha, the spice girls game, that has to be as good as britneys dance beat!

oh btw i got the job in game

CCCP^

Well the one I went into was around Capel street. There's a model shop a few doors down from it.

I doubt anyone has been into that storeroom since we were there a few years ago.

Is that the something Gallery or Arcade just by the Luas stop?

appleidog

Nice congrats at the job. You should of picked up kid ikarus, good game even if you don't have a nes.
