November 2012 Finds

Did you hit up RightStuf.com? They had Graduation on clearance a while back but I didn't buy it 'cause I was a coward.

Yeah they claim to have only 8 copies left... Still $1.99 plus shipping.

Oh man, I remember seeing the ad for Graduation in MixxZine... Is it any fun? As for Mixx, that mag had some awesome stories- anybody know if Parasyte continued on its own (I'm too lazy to google, evidently)?

I didn't yet learn how to play these kinds of games. Too bad it's low resolution. Small window size is better than a stretched mess I suppose.

Nabbed a lot on ebay for a total of $12 (let's say 3 bucks a game):

Double Dragon (Genesis) (Pretty rare from what I can tell, averaging $20 alone online)
Universal Soldier (Genesis) (Movie tie-in edit of Turrican 2)
Super Off-Road (Genesis) (Arcade port, I grew up with the completely different "Baja" version for SNES so it'll be interesting to try this one out)
Dark Castle (Genesis) (easily the worst video game on the system, and I've now the pleasure of owning it :P)

All EA/Accolade Style unlicensed carts.

Also got the following from a local store a few weeks ago:

Ranger-X (Genesis) - $3 (had to deal with another store's on-label sticker, but saved the cart and totally worth it for the price)
Midnight Resistance (Genesis) - $3 (Somewhat uncommon from what I could tell and a pretty fun contra knockoff, beaten up a tad with a little label damage in the bottom-left corner but works like a dream)
Decap Attack (Genesis) - $3 (Great condition physically, but a pain to boot and the cart seems to run when it wants to, prolly should give it a good cleaning sometime)
Ecco 2 Boxed (Genesis) - $3 (Could look better physically, but for $3 I'm not complaining)
Super Hydlide (Genesis) - $4 (tiny tear near the top, works great and SRAM still works too!)
Super Street Fighter II (Genesis) - $5 (Really great condition, works alright)
Dr. Robonik's Mean Bean Machine (Game Gear) - $5 (Jumped when I saw this, it's surprisingly hard to come by in the wild)
Dashin Desperadoes Complete in Box (Genesis) - $8 (Amazing condition on everything, not a single flaw, boots up with ease)

With Dr. R, I have every US Sonic Game for the game gear. Just need the imports now (Drift and Skypatrol)

Pics when I stop feeling lazy.

Parasyte had graphic novels published by Mixx, but the series has since been license-rescued and published by Kodansha Comics USA in unflipped format.

Went into a thrift store I infrequently go to. I see a box of stuff behind the counter that looked like it was maybe a 2600 + games or something. The lady brought it up and it turned out to be a Fairchild Channel F plus literally every game released. They said some guy just donated it to their store a week ago. The craziest part is there are tons of pamphlets and stuff that came with it + both of the mail order games as well, in great shape. Here are some pics:










I literally can't remember the last time I found anything even decent at a thrift store lol.

Forgot to post this when my father-in-law brought it to me last weekend. Has component inputs, but no s-video Wish I could have gotten his ginormous one that he got rid of not too long ago, but there is just no way I could deal with or have space for one of those 350lb behemoths. This is much more manageable.



He's been using this in his basement jewelry-making shop for years, so it has plenty of hours on it, but still looks good so far.

Nice..I picked up one of those ginormous ones from around the corner.. had to use a wheel cart to move it it's so heavy..I have it in the basement i'd need two people to get it up here..I plugged the power cord in down the basement and the screen came on fuzzy so i assume it works
I had picked up three others(Flat screen CRT) local through the year and none worked : (..two are outside ,on the side of my house as the town doesn't take them..
someone came and bashed a whole on the side of the bigger TV outside and broke off the back of the tube I guess for the copper..the smaller tv is a match for a TV I have in my hall with a bad color cap..i might tear that TV up and pull the circuit board for the caps before someone else tears it up..

Friday I picked up a 25inch TV on the curb,the remote manual and paperwork still in the original bag tied to the TV..not sure if it works but I'd rather grab it and it not work then had passed it up and wondered..

I see tons of TVs a the flea market,cheap and nt cheap..Problem is they are not tested(oh sure it work) and these people will sell you a dead animal if they could get away with it.
