Menace Beach @ Pawn Shop
Usually just read and never post but this was pretty crazy/ lucky and had to share with some people that actually care. ( my wife doesn't get it )
Went to local pawn shop where i noticed they had a stack of nes games behind the counter. I asked " are those for sale" to the salesman? He said " yeah they just haven't been looked up yet. Check them out and I' ll look the ones your interested in up on Amazon". So I went through them and handed over the five games I was interested in, menace beach being one of them. The guy is looking up Menace Beach and then makes a weird face and walks over to another guy and whispers something in his ear. The guy comes back and says how bout 5 bucks? I was relieved as I thought it was maybe a rarer cart and going to be expensive and I would have to put it back, but 5 bucks not too bad, when he was asking $18 for a pretty banged up battletoads cart which I was not willing to pay that much for. So I bought my games and went home. I tried finding out more about this Menace Beach game that I have never heard about. Found out its a pretty rare game and hard to find. I read and watch video of people and they're awesome scores at their local retro game shops and think to myself that lucky bastard that will never happen to me and today Jan 18 th 2013 I'm posting in the finders keeper na forum .....feels great!
Everything I bought there:
Super C $8
Double Dragon $6
and...Menace Beach $5
oh and a nes controller $2
if I can figure out how to post a picture I will
