    I don't have cords or a laserdisc to test it, but am sure it doesn't work because our poor ass school still uses them!
    Only cords it needs are standard RCA jacks. Go ahead and grab it and test it with an audio CD. If it's a Pioneer Elite or something, could be a very nice player.

    nice find on the ultima guide, its a pretty tough find (took me years to find it) and a great hint book for the game as well.

    From Monday:
    I didn't really find much at first. I was about to give up when I saw a new guy and he had THREE BINS of NES games. He offered me everything for $100 but I didn't have that much on me (still don't).

    I bought the following games for $30, and all are going to eBay:
    Castlevania 1, 2, and 3
    Ninja Gaiden 1, 2, and 3
    Mega Man 2, 4, and 5
    Mike Tyson's Punch-Out
    Metal Gear + Snake's Revenge

    They're all in incredible shape. Some cart and label wear, of course, but there's very little contact wear. He also had a few Saturn and SNES games, and two NES / SNES redesigned systems. I really wish I had the money to take everything. He said he'd be back tomorrow, so I'll see if I can pick up the stuff I left behind.

    ---
    As for today, well, there weren't that many people at the flea market - neither booth sellers NOR customers. I think people got scared because of the hurricane that's down south. (Which hasn't even come close to us.) Anyway, I picked up:

    A brand new 3DO Game Guru (crushed box)
    Bowling (PS1), Windows 2000 Professional (CD + key) - $2 total
    Mario Is Missing (PC) - $1
    A Shareware game CD - $1
    Three VHS to DVD rips (the guy had a suitcaseful of these, apparently they're from a rental shop). They were a buck each. I'm fairly sure these have DVD releases, but they were a buck so I figured I'd see what popped up.

    Other interesting finds that I didn't buy:
    * A TG-16 with AC Adapter and two pads
    * A brand new Microsoft Works 94 + Bookshelf set
    * Strider 2 for the PS1. CDs only. And the guy wanted $5 for each disc so I said "uh, no."

    Today I found a Sega CDX with power supply for 30 bucks and an Apple IIc with joystick for 10 bucks. Unfortunately the CDX disc door doesnt click down the button that tells the system the door is closed to the cd part is useless. I could just cry.

    Also, the IIc doesnt have a power supply and it is a hideous yellow color.

    I cant tell if this was a good or bad day.

    Should take you about all of 10 minutes to either:

    A) replace the switch that is depressed by the door if that's where the problem is.

    or

    B) glue something onto the lid to make up the difference between it and the plunger that depresses the lid switch if it's coming up short.

    I couldnt for the life of me figure out how to take the damn thing apart. Its so crammed inside. I am afraid to. Thus I cant find the switch.

    Kicked off the month with quite the odd haul:

    -Super Mario Bros. Super Show: King Koopa Katastrophe DVD
    (features six episodes, along with a "bonus" episode of Sonic Underworld)

    -2 PS1 Official U.S. PlayStation Magazine demo discs: 31 (April 2000) and 32 (May 2000)

    -PS2 DVD player version 2.12 update disc

    -Manuals:
    Donkey Kong Country 2 (SNES, missing front and back cover)
    Shadow Man (N64)
    Jak 3 (PS2)
    Madden 07 (Xbox)
    Forza 2 (360)

    The SMB DVD cost a buck, and everything else was free.
