Midweek find!

[maxlords]

Was down at the pawn shops today, and they had a boxed, shrinkwrapped NES Four Score! Now, the shrink was opened on one side and the unit has one inch long scuff on the front, but it's basically new, even has the baggie for the cord, and the stickers and posters! I asked them how much and they said..."Take it..we don't want it!" Yay! Any of you NES collectors out there need a Four Score in primo shape?

Also went down to the convenience store who sold games to me dirt cheap:

$4 each:

Ninja Gaiden Trilogy (boxed, no manual)
Final Zone (boxed, no manual)
Shadow Dancer (boxed, no manual)
Phantasy Star 2 (boxed w/Hint Book!, no manual)

$6: Dr. Mario 64 (boxed complete)

Yay!

I usually don't post in these sort of things, but I had a couple really neat finds in the past couple days.

One was a Coleco Adam computer, complete in the box, with everything! It was a bit pricey at $40, but I just couldn't resist.
:D
I took a picture, just incase anyone has never seen one up close. This sucker is HUGE!!! :o :o :o

There's a GameCube box next to it in the picture, just to get an idea, how BIG this badboy is.

I actually found it on Tuesday, just haven't had time to do anything here around the house.

Then today I stopped in my local Goodwill and found a $hitload of vintage computer games!! Lots of cool Sierra and Lucas Art games!! :D

Looky! Looky!

I also picked up a Super Game Boy and a few Nes and SMS games this week for around $1.50 each. Oh and I found some Rock video VHS tapes from 1993 And a Hardback copy of Game Over all in the last two days as well!!

It's huge because of the printer, The printer IS the power supply.

I huge because of the printer, The printer IS the power supply.

I still think it could have been packed into a smaller box!

But your right about the printer. I actually didn't notice that until after I got it home and started pulling everything out of the box. Then I was like WTF! O.o

Question!!

Is there a seperate power cord that can be bought or made for it?

I really don't care to have a big ass printer, which I'll never use, taking up space in my room. It'd be great if I could bypass the printer part altogether.

The port in the back of the computer looks like a standard 9-pin db controller port, so it would seem easy enough to hack together something, if the power supply was inside the computer part. Even if it's not, a universal PSU and a cord from a 2600 joystick might do the trick.
Anyone have any useful info on this?

There was never an official workaround for the printer dilemma. Not sure if somebody made a hack to get around it.

Yeah, it's a monster. :D
