In reply to Dryad. You know what, I've never bought a mystery bag or know anyone who has. And I've always been curious as to what they're typically filled with! What have you received in the past?

In reply to Gaming Omnivore. Why does everyone seem to know this game, except me?!

Oohh I haven’t been to something like that in forever. It sounds fun, but also sometimes I feel a little awkward being out and about. I usually end up at these places just by being dragged out by other gaming friends, but they’re often a good time. I’m glad you put so many pictures because I do miss that kind of stuff. It’s amazing how much old video game items are still out there at relatively low prices.

Also, I’ve never gotten anything good from a mystery bag. XD

In reply to Kim. Greendog: The Beached Surfer Dude!....yeah, that definitely sounds like a Pete game! Lol

In reply to Gaming Omnivore. He didn't get anything else at the market, but a package containing Greendog arrived a couple of days later. It's not one I've heard of but it's another game used to play as a kid. I fully expect there to be similar packages in the future!

In reply to Kim. “Just one more” Ugh…I know that one. That’s awesome! What Mega Drive games did he find? I don’t remember seeing that Micro Machines one as a kid…

In reply to Gaming Omnivore. Honestly, it's so difficult. It's really easy to find yourself browsing for hours and adding 'just one more game' to the pile in your arms. Case in point: Pete wasn't planning on buying anything this time and came home with a Mega Drive.

Glad you got to go again this year! Both sad and…kinda glad there isn’t any big gaming markets like that around here. I don’t typically possess the most self-control around tables and tables and tables of games and consoles.
