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

  • Great find!! One of the few games I have never found in the wild in my 14 years of collecting.
  • Haha, nice! Just checked it out on Amazon and there are none available so there's no price listed. That's a $150 game.
  • Thanks,  you just made it even better. 14 years and you haven't found one it must be rare. Thanks a lot




  • Bingo.....pics for the beauty
  • Congrats man! Awesome score for the price! Never played of it, or heard that much of it for that matter, but Super C and Double Dragon are really fun games!
  • Nice find dude! 5 bucks is how much I paid for mine at a place I check all the time. also got there $5 each king Neptunes adventure, and challenge of the dragon. Yesterday I passed up double dragon ii for $2, regretting it now that I think about it lol
  • Nice pick up at a great price. I picked up my CIB copy at a local store for $150 which wasn't a $1 goodwill find but a great find.

    Congrats again on the pick up and glad amazon doesn't have everything listed.
  • Great find. I'm really glad to see deals like this are still happening, and for $5 you made it out like a bandit.
  • Owner probably confused it for Venice beach which is a 5 dollar game.




  • I figured out how to post a picture sorry its side ways. So here are the games I got. I did clean up the menace beach cart lol damn ''k'' wouldn't come off completely
  • At least they didn't write SK over the Color Dreams logo. Nice find!
  • Wow I didn't even notice that  thanks I was to busy drouling over the cool blue cart I guess lol
  • Very Worthy First Post!
  • Hey ,nice find that's a very rare unlicensed game.You got a $150 game for $5 that's a real sweet deal bro!Congrats!
  • Thanks everyone for the kind words and some addition info on this game. Hope to get another chance to post in this forum ( finders keeper ) but now that I know there are a lot of cool people on here might have to post in other forums. Thanks again
