You traded in all your NES, SNES and Sega Genesis games and regret it? I wonder if gamers these days will regret trading their stuff, especially to places like gamestop.
Dang, those are amazing finds and 30$ bucks for both!? Also you are right, Megaman 3 is better than 2.
If there's something specific you're looking for, let me know. I think we have Megaman 3, 4, and 6 for NES in the store where I work and if you're interested I could mail it to you :)
Naia, I totally want directions. Right now the only retro place I know of is Gamedude which is out in Hollywood. I've been there like 5 times in the past month and a half working on re-buying the stuff I traded in when I was younger and picking up stuff I never got to experience *coughSNEScough*
While you all are lamenting trading in your old stuff, I'm trying to decide if I want to play my NES, SNES, or Dreamcast.
In all seriousness, though, I wish there was a game store that sold retro stuff like that. There used to be a local place a block away from my apartment but, of course, GameStop knocked it out of business. *sigh*

Nice finds! Even though I'm in a metropolitan area (DC), I don't know of a single store that has a decent selection of retro stuff. I'll pop in a pawn shop every so often to see if they have any good gaming stuff, but it's usually hard to find quality retro games around here.
Anyway, enjoy your "new" games! Know that I'm jealous of your nearby retro goodness.

Man, I have a store like that in my area... they sell everything.
I always find buying the obscure "lemons" to be the most fun part though. I bought an Atari Jaguar, see what I mean?

I used to work at a place back in Tucson called Bookmans several years ago. They had a pretty extensive used NES cart collection, and as an employee, I was able to get games on the cheap. I ended up with about 300 games or so, at about fifty cents each, and included was the entire Megaman run.
Like an idiot, I traded all 300 of the games in to Gamestop back when they still took 'em. I think I bought an XBox and Halo with the trade. Yeah, I still regret it to this day. Not because the XBox sucked, but because...well, 300 NES games, y'know? Damn.

Not that its as good by any means, but mod the xbox and get those 300 games back on an emulator.

Congrats on your finds!
I'm lucky to have such a place only 3 miles from my apartment. If anyone's in Columbus-check out Play It Trade It on High and Henderson.

DW2? Good find! I've got Megaman 2 sitting around here somewhere, but I don't think my toploader works so it's destined to be a dust magnet.
We usually find decent games at the Disk Replays out in our area, but the person that prices some of those games must have their head up their arse.

@Suff0cat:
It's in West LA on the corner of Sepulveda and Palms. I think when we finally get around to an LA NARP at our place we'll have to take a field trip to the video game stores :D
