July 2011 Finds

[InsaneDavid]

... I could've sworn someone had already translated that, but it looks like that isn't the case.

Good luck finding someone to do that.

I thought the same and I agree - super low demand + tons of text. It would be like asking someone to translate an RPG that no one cares about.

[Balloon Fight]

Picked up this for $10.

Also picked up a nice Zelda Majoras Mask cart only for $7.

Apple 65W power adapter for PowerBook G4 - $2.50 from D'arcy's Arc thrift store

This was a really lucky find. I'd been without a proper power adapter for my PowerBook for a long time. Most of the third party ones that claim to be 65W alare actually 45W, and that causes all kinds of problems. Now I just need a replacement battery...

What are those flaps for?

Nothing too crazy today:

PS2 - 8mb memory card
PS1 - Williams Arcade's Greatest Hits
Game Gear - Taz in Escape from Mars

[Steve W]

All I found today (not worth taking pictures of) was a battered copy of Ico for the PS2 for $4 at a Goodwill (disc is scratched but not badly, it should be fine after resurfacing), and at a Movie Trading Company location I found a Nakitek 3DO controller for $3.99.


I ended up passing on a boxed Apple eMate 300 (a ruggedized laptop version of their Newton PDA designed for the educational market) since I've already got one.

Haha, that's what my better haft said as well but I love me some ponies I'm trying to complete the Salut Video range of dubbed MLP and Pound Puppies VHS tapes. Why? I have no idea but it seemed like a good idea when I started

The Multi System controller thing I posted about a couple of days ago.

Huh. Is that a Konix Multisystem controller? Did they release it as just a controller when the console died or something?

[SamuraiSmurfette]

Today's find. ~$30 for everything.
Nothing all that special...or is there?

5 Games (No Manual For EFMI) - 2.50
5 More Games (All Complete If Not Cart/Card Only) - 20
Twisted Metal 2 - 2 (Plus Tax)

The first 5 games were asking .50 each. The second 5 when I asked about games the kid pointed out a GameCube with 5 games that was $50 that was easy to over look since it still had the lid on it. I asked about Twilight Princess and he was nice enough to split it out for 5, offered 20 from 21 asking price on all (GBA games were 3 each). Twisted Metal 2 was from the Salvation Army that is right on the way home.

Alone In The Dark The New Nightmare (PC, CIJ) - .25
Torpedo Range (GB) - 1
Virtua Fighter 3TB - 1
Fallout 3 Game of The Year Edition - 6
6 Complete Wii Games - 15
9 Nintendo 64 Game - 7

All disk based games from Saturday are complete. Fallout 3 GOTYE was asking 7 but took 6. The Wii games were 5 each, took 15 for 6. Asked about video games at one of the first sales of the day, mentioned and brought out all of these N64 games I picked out 5 or 6 games and when they wanted a buck each I offered to take all of them for 7 which was taken. The other 3 small finds were asking price.

[bunnybum]

Huh. Is that a Konix Multisystem controller? Did they release it as just a controller when the console died or something?

It's based on the Konix Multisystem, yes. There's no special hardware in it, it was released as a PC controller only by Chinese company MSC.
