Just got back from a quick rummage run...

Astro Command - $3.00 A 4-color VFD tabletop from Radio Shack that plays like Scramble without the mountains. Mint and complete...kinda loud though.

Virtual Boy, with Mario Tennis and Galactic Pinball - $10.00 No boxes and very dusty, but it works...may finally try that headset conversion.

Good Luck All,
Rich

Went to a garage sale a couple of streets over and got:

Mega Drive 2 with Power cable and RFU
2 6-button Controllers (1 original, 1 3rd party)

And the following games, only a couple missing manuals:
-Lotus 2
-Rugby World Cup 95
-Madden 95
-FIFA International Soccer
-Super Baseball 2020
-NBA Jam T.E.
-Mortal Kombat 3
-Brian Lara Cricket
-Sampras Tennis 96
-Bubsy
-Haunting
-Olympic Gold
-NBA SHowdown

And some NES manuals: Flintstones (rescue of dino), Super Offroad, RBI Baseball, and Snake Rattle and Roll. If anyone in Aus. needs any of them PM me or something ( im not much of a NES person).

All for $40 AU+having to carry it home in the sun (20 minute walk). I probably overpaid a little bit, but it gets me closer to 100 MD games (89 now) and i didnt have a 1st party joypad either, so a winner is me.

My housing development had a comunity yard sale this morning so I hit over 10 yards sales close to home. I did not find any video game stuff until about the 10th sale where I found a complete Atari 2600 6 switch system with about 20 games. There were no games I did not already have but not bad for $5 The lady said someone had told her she might as well throw it in the trash because no one would want such an old system. Another Atari saved from the dump.

I also picked up a VHS Movie call Arcade. Anyone know anything about it I had never heard of it?

[Sniderman]

Ah, Bira Bira himself smiled upon me today. Found a Coleco tabletop Frogger in an old toy bin at a forgotten flea market. Missing battery cover, dirty as hell, and marked "not working." Bought it, took it home, took it apart and cleaned all of the parts, and resoldered the loose wire that had come off the on/off switch. Works like new and - other than the missing cover - looks like new.


Cost me $4.
