    Fallout - PC, after a bit of trickery and patches, got it running on Vista. Guess I'll check out what all the fuss was about.

    Got a new-to-me TV today, a Sony rear-projection, 47" 4:3. I think that will become my new gaming TV, since it's lo-def, and I only have lo-def consoles. The best part about it was the price--free. My brother's friend's dad's brother-or-friend (can't remember which) was getting rid of it, and giving it away was cheaper than taking it to the dump.

    Be careful, you're not supposed to use gaming consoles on projection TVs due to burn-in.

    eh, nothing really for the 1st of December. Stopped by PnT since they always have some intellivision games (I love my Intellivision ) so I picked up

    Frog Bog 1.99
    Tron Discs of Death 1.99 (I'm a big fan of Tron )

    Both have manuals and overlays. Probably paid a bit much for them but eh, I've been wanting to play them

    Hopefully goodwill isn't dry tomorrow...
    Consoles Owned - Intellivision, SNESx2, NES, XBOX 360, XBOX, PS3, PS2 (slim), N64, Odyssey, Radio Shack Electronic TV Scoreboard

    Future Consoles - Atari (2600, 5200, 7800), Sega Genesis, PS1, among others.

    Hmm, always thought that was more of a crt problem... *checks tv, sees that it is CRT rear projection,* whoops!

    Actually, after trying out some games, I really don't want to use this TV at all, because the picture is basically crap. There is no such thing as black on this TV: if there is something red on screen, then black = red; if there is blue on screen, then all the black parts turn blue; etc.. Bah, now I have to convince my mom and brothers to get rid of this TV. Oh well, maybe I can make a few bucks selling it on Craigslist.

    Or you can haul it to the dump.

    Today's finds:

    Pandemonium PS1, complete - $2
    Random CD with DOS demos - $1
    Toe Jam and Earl (Genesis), Phantasy Star, Alex Kidd: High Tech World - $6 for the lot.

    The CD with demos is, of course, for MobyGames. Pandemonium is something of an oddity; the cover I'd seen is like this, but this one says that it includes a couple of demos. I've never seen this particular variant before. I checked Game-Rave, and he hasn't gotten to Pandemonium yet. Ugh. x_x

    ETA: My release was published by Eidos. Looks like a rerelease.

    I guess this stuff was found in Nov, but meh:


    The Prisoner set - 19.80
    3 Pokemon Binders w/ about 80 cards each - 2.80 a piece
    TI-85 - 2.80
    Punch Out!! - 1.80
    Return to Krondor - 1.80
    -- plus 25% off all those with a coupon

    Pac-Mania was $8.80 shipped off eBay. Hard to find a decent price on this for some reason.

    Yesterday I picked this 2600 lot up from Goodwill, having won it from their silent auction for the opening bid of $20. Nothing too special, but a few classics I didn't have, and 2600s seem to be selling pretty well lately.

    I did the outside-of-my-range thrift stores today for a change of pace, and didn't find much. Nothing I really wanted as far as videogame stuff goes, but I found some electromechanical and electronic games at one thrift, a grand total of $7.50 or so.


    I'll go into more detail in the Recent Toy Purchases thread, just to keep that section of the forums from collecting dust.

    Bought a modded playstation that had been pulled from eBay. $25 shipped and it came with some real games and some burns.

    I wanted the system, and the one game I noticed I'll sell/trade to make up for what I paid. A complete, black label SOTN.

    Also had the 3rd disc of FF7 in there for some reason, so if anyone needs it, let me know.

    know.
    Awww, you should keep it. Black label SOTN's are so sexy. Unless you own it of course. Either way, you'll make more than 25 I'm sure.

    Exactly, I already have a copy. So basically it paid for itself

    From Goodwill:

    Xbox
    Breeder's Cup World Thoroughbred Championships - $3.99
    Crimson Skies NFR - $3.99
    Star Wars Episode III Revenge of the Sith - $3.99

    PS1
    Pong - $3.99
    Playstation Underground CD Magazine Vol. 3 Issue 3 - $1.99 (later found out it was missing discs...only one I didn't check since it was in a glass case. #@$#@)

    PC
    Metal Gear Solid (in 2CD Jewel Case) - $3.99

    Made a mistake with the Playstation Underground discs...probably should've made sure to check it, since they had a Namco Museum Vol. 2 (Case and Instructions) with Space Invaders in it for PS1. Ahh well. Metal Gear Solid pays for the whole lot anyway.
