Nice! I didn't even realize there was a Pirates of Dark Water game ... or maybe I did and just forgot.
I remember the 'toon, and being impressed by how it was fairly ambitious show, as far as being somewhat more "mature" than the typical 'toon fare of the time.
I'll have to check the game out at some point.

@the_shpydar yes the cartoon was really good, the snes version has been varying in price, 50, 75, 90 and such... @RancidVomit86 the genny version is good too

You're saying it's at least $50 now? That's quite a jump. When I got mine sometime within the past few years it was like $15.
I forgot I actually do have a latest purchase. Seems last year I bought Tiny Toon Adventures Babs' Big Break for the Game Boy manual but not the game. Fixed. A fun game, but of course way too easy for me now.
Also, I ordered a relatively cheap copy of Salamander Portable for PSP (Konami the Best). I ordered one from another site months ago, but never got the invoice email so I never could pay. Watch that come now. I hear this has potential as a future-rare game due to one of the games on the disc.
(and with that I will have 3/4 of the Konami shooting collections. Last is the most common and only international release, Gradius.)
EDIT
i got an email back from http://www.nesrepairshop.com/Catalog and they told me they priced this game wrong so they cancelled my order. i went back to the site and they raised the game to 75.99 http://www.nesrepairshop.com/Catalog/index.php?main_page=prod...
what a bunch of losers. ill tell you this much, i wont ever attempt to buy anything from them again. i should have emailed them back saying "not only did you feel you undercharged me for the pirates of dark water, i also noticed youre attempting to sell earthbound for 275$ cart only" heres that link: http://www.nesrepairshop.com/Catalog/index.php?main_page=prod...
eff these fools. ill re-post pirates of dark water later on today probably, once i order it on ebay. ill just pay whatever, it dont make me none

Eff them. I'll never buy anything from them now, just on general principle.
If they "priced it wrong" then they were caught slippin' ... and as we all know, THAT'S THE WAY GAME CHASIN' GO!
you aint never lyin.
you are exactly right.

Meanwhile, here's my latest Atari pick-ups (and I have a couple more on the way):
Ice Hockey, blue label variant (Phil Hartman approved! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmUcE2nWHY8)
Kaboom!, blue label variant
Carnival (by some obscure company called "Sega". I wonder what became of them.)
This on I actually got from my neighbor, who found it in a client's house (my neighbor is a heater/boiler repair guy) and gave it to me.

UPDATE
okay, so i took my money and bought it from someone else asking the same updated price as the !@#$%&'s at http://www.nesrepairshop.com
so they ended up losing what they mysteriously all the sudden asked for it anyways. i dont mess around, you raise the price AFTER i buy something, ill take my refund and go buy it from SOMEONE ELSE for your new asking price just because i can. they lost the initial amount AND the new amount because i payed the new amount to another seller. they lose, i win.

What did I order today?
All loose.
TaleSpin for NES (the only Capcom Disney game I'm lacking beside RR1. I'm counting my FC DT2 and the FC version of DT1 I bought for consistency. Though I lucked out and won RR2 for a steal years ago. ... all except for Adventures in the Magic Kingdom, which I forgot about. )
Star Trek 25th Anniversary, Arkanoid and Circus Caper for NES for around $6 each. Sounds like a good deal, even if it's from a seller that overprices popular games.
Star Trek: The Next Generation: Future's Past for SNES. A quarter on amazon!
@ogo79: Can they do that? Isn't that illegal I thought if a company makes a mistake price wise they have to honor it no matter what. I know its past the point but I am just interested how they could do that if it's illegal.

youd be correct if it was an actual physical store youd walk into...however it seems permitted online.
i kinda took that as a low-blow myself.
they actually refunded my money the same day i made the purchase.
guess they need the money more than me
thats gangsta. http://www.nesrepairshop.com
^just all yall guys, stay away from them fools.^

Most recent were Star Fox and Aladdin(Genesis). Were around $7 each at a local thrift shop I believe. At least around the same price you can find on Amazon I think.
Have no idea where my 6 button genesis controller went so had use the other controller that never worked well. Finally cleaned it after all these years of and oh my goodness I should have done this sooner. Works so well now. 2p Zombies Ate My Neighbors would have been so much better back in the day.
@ogo79: Hmmm I guess that it's ok online. I know that one time Amazon priced something wrong but they still gave me and I assume others that purchased it the original listed price. Of course Amazon is a big time company not some low end sleazy crooks like the guys you used. I am sure that if Amazon pulled that kind of stuff that would be the end of them. Still odd thought that they could pull that off.

yeah, my point in focus was, they tried to run some game on me, it probably wasnt right in their part at all.
they did lose my business, and thats a loss, i will continue to let people know about them.
i won in the end, i got the mint game i was looking for.
but my word online, shall stain their name for eternity.

A couple more Atari pick ups:
Surround (I loved this game as a kid; gameplay-wise it's basically just a simple cross between a Snake and Tron lightcycles, though it predates Tron by 5 years)
Blackjack
Both carts are the launch versions of the games; when the Atari VCS came out in 1977, it launched with 9 games, and the end-labels had numbers before the titles (the production numbers of the games — note the "CX-2641" and "CX-2651" on the front labels). By 1978, the same games were released with the more commonly seen text end-labels. I'll probably try and get all 9 of the launch variant games, though I'd love to find them in box — the original 1977 boxes were gatefold-style, with the front opening like a book.
Meanwhile, just 14 carts to go until finishing the Activision 2600 collection!
