This isn't about buying games, it's about finding games.

Have you ever found a game someone lost or threw out? Did you keep it? Was it a good find?

This topic is brought up by my girlfriend's mom. Someone threw away a perfectly working gamecube (sans power-cable)... and inside it was a perfect condition copy of Twilight Princess. I think that's pretty intercourse ing lucky.

Myself, I've only ever found a copy of Sims 2 for the DS, on my bus in high school.

More recently, a friend found a GBA copy of Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones, but having no interest in video games he just gave it to me. What a guy <3

Never found a game before.

Although, I know someone else once found a DS, The Minish Cap, Super Mario 64, and Nintendogs... in my backpack in the locker room... and never put it back.  :| The really weird thing is that whoever did this went into my back pack, INTO THE DS CASE, and took the DS and first game he saw out of it, leaving the case and the backpack, with the former still having Kirby's Amazing Mirror and the DS charger in a back section he didn't check.

>_< Having your stuff stolen blows.

Being robbed was bad enough, but what really gets me is that the thief went through the backpack with no previous knowledge of valuables, then left the DS case in the backpack and zipped the thing back up before he left it for me to find. It was very invasive, like I had lost all control of my possessions. I was also in 6th or 7th grade and the DS was still new (on the market, not just to me), so I was like a kid who had his new toy stolen from him (I say "like" because there are some surprisingly mature middle schoolers, but I was not one of them).

Ohhh many times. First game I found was Super Mario RPG. It was in my ditch. I have no idea why, but I didn't intercourse ing care. It worked, and I played the living poop out of it.

Also found a Super Mario Bros DX at the daycare place my parents left me at. Played it all day erreday.

Like 3 years later I found a copy of X-Men Vs Street Fighter chilling in the parking lot. Must have fell out of someones bag but it was mine now. How would I go about finding the true owner anyway right?

Much later, I gave Sonic Battle to a friend for his birthday even though I really wanted it myself. I knew that he'd love it so I forked over my hard earned money to buy it for him.

Couple weeks later I find the game just chilling inside my desk. Multiplayer was fun as intercourse . If none of you have played that game, check it out. Pretty neat fighting game that borrows stuff from Smash Bros but has its own unique twists on poop. 4 player combat in that game is something I miss a lot, its really hard to find 4 people that have it.

Later on in life I found an Animal Crossing Wild World in a laptop case I found in a restaurant. I gave it to my niece, but she didn't like it so I gave it to Mona. Yep.

That's it, I think.

Don't think I ever really found a game...but my ex-friend who lives across the street decided that he "found" my copy of Star Wars: Rogue Squadron for the Gamecube. And never gave it back. I still never got it back. ALL OF MY RAGE.

Rogue Leader is the best game ever.

I've found many games conveniently under a large tree in my living room, generally around the Holiday season. I never question it, I just take the intercourse ers.

Dude what

I've never even found one game, or even anything remotely related to gaming. :(
I really hate how I've made more than 12,000 posts here. Thankfully this swaying, moving Chandelure makes it all worth it.

I found Super Mario Bros 3 at school on the ground with the sticker ripped off 7 years ago. I also found a GBA SP in a shopping cart outside a grocery store.
