November 2009 Finds

[Kitsune Sniper]

I knew that was a pirate, I didnt know the others were. I dont mind one out of a few but all of them. Yikes.

Pirate carts are GREAT conversation starters.

Besides sometimes they're hacked to include other features. So they're not a total loss!

Ummm dock sale (AKA back lot sale) at Goodwill today.

Nothing video game related but I did get a nice set of Realistic Minimus-7 bookshelf speakers, a Ti-85 graphing calculator, a JBL On Stage iPod dock, a Trent portable DVD player, and a few other things. Make note all of those things were cheap because they were in questionable working condition. I do hope the Minimus speakers work though, honestly they are much nicer (hi-fi-ier) than the set of Ion DJing speakers I got a few weeks ago.

[Dreadstar]

Just picked these loose SNES carts out of a stack of the usual yawners at Goodwill:

Super Punch Out
Carrier Aces (R5)
Final Fight Guy (R6)

1.99 each.

Ah, I wondered who got this group. I was watching it but honestly, I've been spending way too much lately (especially since OVGE) to drop that much right now on one lot. They looked good in the pic, so are the conditions of these pretty good??

Oh, and congratulations on the find! Glad it went to a collector and not a reseller shop.

[RasterKnows]

So are these original seals? I dont know? This Savers also had Strider sealed and I think Parlour Games sealed but I didnt pick those up. Also saw this Playstation Demo in the cd section. I have no idea what the demo is but it's also sealed...

[Mayhem]

Sort of finds I suppose... only because I deliberately bought these. Anyone who read the 8-bit magazines of the 80s in the UK should instantly know who drew these...

Condition is amazing for the most part - one of the case hinges is broken, but that's replaceable. Keio had a $9 price sticker on it from a used video game store...someone lost out.

I've spent way too much right now at this point, but I had some extra money at the time and I feel it was worthwhile. I love Sega CD games, and this brings me a few steps closer - now for Snatcher and Space Adventure

[Sonicwolf]

Final Fight Guy (R6).

I have had that game for a year or two now and I didnt realise it was that rare AND a rental only title.

[NayusDante]

First off is the joystick my friend gave me for free.

Church thrift: NES turbo pad $0.50

Salvation Army: HHGTTG on tape $2

Goodwill: Genny Model 2 and Mario 3 Advance $3/each

Library bookstore: Aquaman was $3, and six recent game magazines plus Microserfs brought the total there to $5

Aquaman isn't as horrible as I thought it would be. Also, I looked for a power adapter and RF for the Genny, but didn't find them.

[Sonicwolf]

Goodwill: Genny Model 2 and Mario 3 Advance $3/each.

Thats a pretty good price of Mario 3 Advance. Damned game still goes for 40 bucks at my local EB Games.

[Kitsune Sniper]

Well... not much today. I think.

VHS Tapes ($1 each):
The Guyver Episodes 1 + 2
Rupan III: Legend of the Gold Babylon
Rupan III: Fuma Conspiracy

Software:
Star Trek: Starfleet Command III (CD + key) - $1
Star Trek Armada II (CD in case) - $1
Windows 2000 Professional (CD with key) - .50 cents

One booth had tons of oldschool anime. I only picked out the stuff that caught my interest, I left behind The Slayers, Project A-Ko, and loads of Macross. These sellers sometimes show up tomorrow with the same items so I'll probably pick up more stuff then.

[BetaWolf47]

Goodwill: Genny Model 2

Which, as we found out, is a VA3 with the best video encoder. Congrats!

Yeah, I think I'm going to S-Video mod it. Maybe I'll wire it up to test this afternoon after class.


Nice on the free iMac. Funny having two indigo iMac G3s found within two weeks... Let me know if you get that working, I'm still learning about these Macs. Does it give any POST codes or indication that there's a problem with missing RAM?
