I even bought The Wall 2000! :P

Oh sweet holy mother of God. I feel your pain on that one. That was the first Floyd tribute album I ever bought. Learned my lesson on that one. In fact, I used to like cover songs a whole lot more before I bought that CD, and now I scrutinize them all on Amazon or iTunes before considering buying. That album essentially broke my spirit.

Here's a quick, humorous note. I went to a Movie Trading Company in Fort Worth tonight, where I happened upon a boxed copy of Shadowrun for the Genesis. I popped open the case to see if the instruction manual was inside. Naturally it wasn't, since few people could leave the damn things in the cases and managed to lose them over the years. What I did find inside was something different. It was a folded up flyer by our own 8bitgamer, a.k.a. Brett Weiss, for his two books about Classic Home Video Games. Nice little bit of marketing there, Brett! That's the third time I've come across one of his flyers in a Movie Trading Company. Perfect place to get eyes on them!

... I never said I didn't like it. In fact, I bought The Wall 2000 and the original The Wall on the SAME DAY. I listened to both, and I liked both. I liked the original more, but I liked both.

Aheh.

I rarely post my finds but today was one of my better ones. I got a Pioneer Laseractive with 2 of the Sega pacs and the original controller. It also came with 2 Genesis games Sonic 2 and Aladdin. I got everything for $45. I tested it with a Sega CD game and a Genisis game and they worked. I dont have any laserdisca so I am not sure if that works. I may keep the thing so I have a way to play Sega CD games. I may end up selling one of the Sega Pac things though.

Aaaaaaaand that would explain why you tend to pick up so many crazy, weird, wacky music CDs. You are a musically braver man than I.

I recently received the figurine from Nintendo. It looks sweet.

(Photobucket link screwup so I have to delete them)

Other game I picked up

James Bond 007 Night Fire GBA
Blaster Master GBC
Ys: Oath in Felghana
Ogre Battle

I picked up Ogre Battle for $60 at the local classic game store. I think I may overpaid, but the condition is pristine.

I found these beauties at the Flea market yesterday:



Muramasa: The Demon Blade (Sealed) = $2

Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker Limited Edition (Sealed) = $9

I think I got a good deal for those two

[Ryaan1234]

Sooo... It's Sunday so flea market trip again.

Not really worth pictures... But I'll provide links with info on the items I got. Firstly, I stopped at the same booth that had all those PS1 games cheap last time, I got a minty boxed copy of NASCAR Racing 2002 Season for a whole $1. I thought it was the 2003 one, so meh.

The electronics vendor that had the 2 pairs of Pioneer SE-450 headphones still had the darn things, I got both for $15. There aren't any on eBay to go by so I hope they're desirable to collectors, I think I did alright considering there's a whole page of DJs calling them "legendary"

One booth with games, I got a copy of NES Gun.Smoke and Pac-Man (licensed version)... Was told $3 a piece and offered $5 for both which was taken.

Another booth, an older man who has interesting things from time to time had a pair of Commodore 1541 drives sitting on the table. I asked if he had any of the actual computers that went with them and he said some guy came by and bought all of the 5 systems he had, leaving all the accessories. I said to the guy that that's crazy to buy all them at once (no matter how awesome the C64 is) and he said the person buying them said there was a gram of gold in each computer.... Yeah. He then went on to say that I was PROBABLY TOO STUPID TO KNOW THAT. WTF? Who says that to a customer? Still reeling back in shock that he'd say that to someone, and I countered with "Yeah, I'm not going to spend $1200 on a kiln to melt the gold off the circuit boards inside". He looked at me and snorted. Yeah, that's a good way to lose customers.

Anyways, the "Why the hell did I buy THAT?" buy of the day was a Sanyo VM-4209 monitor. It has CB/HAM radio style Antenna plugs as it's inputs. I have no idea how to use the thing as I think it's HAM radio related, I just thought it looked cool.... It was a mere $4.

I like how they're BOTH Mario.

[Dr. Dib]

I like how they're BOTH Mario.

Well obviously they were trying to do a callback to the days of Super Mario Bros. 1 and 3 and Super Mario World when Luigi was just a recolored Mario instead of a unique sprite.

Or they were just too lazy to make a separate Luigi mold.

[icarwngs55]

Are those banks old (ie 80's) or new?
