Damn, nice pickups. The best game-related thing I've found at Goodwill was probably a copy of NFL Blitz for the N64JML897NFL Blitz rocks! I got Banjo Kazooie and Conkers Bad Fur Day there, too. The prices are going up, at least at this particular Goodwill; it specializes in computers, electronics and video games. Still find some fair deals, though.
That is awesome! I love hearing things like that.
Today is a good day for Goodwill! Just today I happened to get Twilight Princess for $3.99 and the first appearance of Apocalypse (X-Men comic) for $1 with the bag and board included!
So everyone should go to Goodwill today, we're on a roll!
I had a good day at Goodwill. I found a Game Gear (with power adaptor) with some good games; Lion King, Jungle Book, Super Off Road, Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Sonic Triple Trouble. I'm impressed how good the games look and play. I know most games for it are crap, but these were goodies. Also, got a new Turbo Grafx 16 (box is still in sealed plastic bag). Perhaps it was leftover stock in a warehouse. I have no idea of the worth. I know used Turbo Grafx systems average between $80-120. They had two of them. Me and some other retro collector nabbed them pretty quick. A guy in the store kept asking if I was going to buy it, and I said "you bet!" Do you think I should try to sell it on Ebay, or hold on to it?ChiefFreeman

most gamegear games are actually really good. you can also play all master system games on it with an adaptor

There are actually quite a lot of good games for the Game Gear. I don't think its relation between good and bad games is worse than the original Game Boy's, but the latter has a much bigger library of games.
Want somme recommendations? ;)
If I were you, I'd sell the TG-16 and use the money to buy a used one with a ton of games. I'm too lazy to look it up right now, but a brand new TG16 has to be worth around $300 if not more. You'd pretty much have $200 to spend on some awesome games, and the system has plenty from what I've seen.
There's a Castlevania clone called Vampire "something" I'm looking for. It's supposed to be good. Lion King and Jungle Book are pretty tough!ChiefFreeman
The game you mean is "Vampire: Master of Darkness", aka "Master of Darkness" or "In the Wake Of Vampire", see

How is the screen on the Game Gear? Lots of them are faded to the point of being unusable due to capacitors going bad. Pretty cool sytem but I don't find I play mine yet.
I just did a capacitor swap on a couple Game Gears. There are plenty of great games for the system. That puppy was ahead of its time.
