Sept pick up....

Just beat this and it was a lot of fun. Trying to get the 2nd one but it isnt cheap.

Nice! What video connection did you use? S-video or composite?

Too bad the VW wasn’t painted in the Mega Man blue color. Funny, the shape of the car resembles his body armor.

What did you pick up while there?

What did you pick up while there?

I just picked up a few Game Boy Color games, Super Mario Bros. Deluxe and Mario Tennis.

Nothing significant.

Good pick ups. It’s tough to find handheld game carts in my area. Either the thrift store employees hoard them or the customers pocket them. I only happen across them if they’re are super whack title nobody wants

I saw nothing Mary-Kate and Ashley junk in the bins, including a Pocket Planner game.

The Olsen Twins were all over the place in the late 90s-early 00s.

So true and it bugs the hell out of me that so many kids bought their merchandise. They’re responsible for so much shovel ware in general.

Right now I’m playing gamecube through my wii and I’m using the rca cables it came with

Yeah man, hit us with a pics. Have you picked up any rare console variations?

Nothing rare really, I try to be frugal when it comes to collecting. Just snapped some quick photos for my more recent items. Got another expansion pak on the way so I can play more 64 games in the room.

Japanese N64 (did a physical mod to play US games). The controller is a copy of the Hori pad

Got this VHS CRT for free off Craigslist

Just reliving my childhood and getting some I couldn’t afford

Transfer pak (Jpn) was about 5, DS 12, GBA SP-101 17, Super Gameboy 2 (Jpn) 40

It was about 60 including box and manual. The box isn’t perfect either. One of the few times I splurged on an old game. I’m currently playing MM on my 3DS though, so I’ll replay this later

Anybody remember the Guilty Pleasures thread where Bend_The_Knee said he had a lunchbox of theirs from 4-7th grades?

I know danger style remembers that

Jemele why's you lying, you know you're a big Olsen twins fan.

That's actually a fair price for the game my bro, I think I might've paid about $50 two years ago with no box.

I've noticed that any old Zelda game goes for a premium.

This is the guy who would go to blockbuster and rent games then go tell his friends he "bought" them.

Nice. You should consider getting some component cables if your tv has the option. They aren’t expensive. Your games would look tons better.

That’s dope, man. I like that you did some modding too. Always fun to crack open the system to make it better. At the very least you get to clean it out so it runs its best

This is today’s pick up

1986/87 “slim” version of the OG Atari 2600 called the Jr. Got all the connections, games and 2 joysticks for $20.

I actually remember the babysitter’s teenage son letting me play Spider-Man when I was 4 years old.

Couldn’t pass this up for $5. It’s in nicer condition than my go-to controller.

 

[green rhino123]

Pitfall! and Space Invaders were two of my favorites.
Awesome pick-up...there were so many versions of the Atari back then.
Nice NES controller too.

Thought y’all might get a kick out of this video... crt gaming making a comeback lol

Anyone ever got to play the ET game?

Thanks man. I never knew there was a slim version of the 2600 till now. I thought this was the 7800 console when I found it. Hard to believe this console was still being produced while the Sega Master system and NES where already out. Got to the point where they were selling it for $50.

Never played it even though my uncle had it. I was more interested in my He-Man action figures and HotWheels.
