Legendary Find [6 R9s at once!] Pictures added!

[briguy578]

well, I made a legendary find at the garage sales today. I picked up an almost complete Entex Select-a-Game collection for $5. [it was missing Pac-man] (Oh, and a heads up to the guide guys - its called Basketball 3, not Basketball 4)

So I got -

Entex Select-a-Game with Styofoam inserts + instructions [no box]
Pinball /w instructions
Basketball 3 /w instructions
Football 4 /w instructions
Baseball 4 /w instructions
Space Invaders 2 /w instructions

Oh, I also got a boxed Atari 5200 tossed in for free


PS - I got all the overlays too

Pix added -

Wow, nice...now the question is, how do the games play?

[briguy578]

I'll have to get back to you guys on how the games play, as it takes 4 C batteries and I don't have any. [and unfortunately I didn't get the R10 power cord]

[Gamereviewgod]

Wow. And I thought I was special for bringing home Punky Skunk on the PS One today. Thanks for making me feel so worthless.

Oh, and you know we want pics.

[Cauterize]

Awesome! Lets get some pics going down!

*We Want Pics! We Want Pics*

[ClubNinja]

Wow. One of the first finds in a while that I actually thought was unique enough to deserve some pictures, and yet, it doesn't have any. Just my luck.

[Mattiekrome]

I can never find outstanding stuff like this anywhere! Great job, cant wait to see the pics (I dont even know what this thing looks like!)

Actually, we make exceptions for finds that are so unbelievable they deserve their own thread. Like a friggin' Select-a-Game with 5 games....nice, man. Nice.

[snes_collector]

wow...jus wow, I think you used ALL of your luck or that

[legov8]

WOW, did you get lucky! Very nice find.

Update - Well I got some batteries today and tried it out. Space Invader2 was actually a pretty fun little game, and the pinball game was decent.

The sports games weren't very good, though. I'm not a sports fan, so maybe my opinion isn't that good, but there just wasn't enough power there to make a decent abstraction of a sports game.

If I were updating the guide, Space Invader2 would get a +, Pinball would get a blank, and Football 4, Basketball 3 and Baseball 4 would all get a -.

Anyway, it was a relief to know that all the games work and the system doesn't have any dead "pixels" or anything.

Now the question is what to do with this thing. My collecting is really all about NES and increasingly SNES, so its a bit before my interest zone. I think I'll hold onto it for a week or so while I decide what to do with it, and then I might decide to part ways with it.

Is anyone here interested? I'm just testing the waters right now.
