Weekday Finds (19th thru 23rd)

Sega Nomad - 8.99 at Goodwill

I've never owned a Nomad before...this thing is cool

I can't get into the online rarity guide...are these somewhat rare?

eBay prices range from $40 - $100 it looks like. Mine came with a battery pack, AC adapter, and the screen has no scratches.

How good of a find is this?

I'd call that a pretty wicked find. I'd be very happy if I found a Nomad for $9 in good condition like that, I'd say that it's equivalent to finding a $5 CDX or X'Eye.

Last week I was in a thrift store while on vacation in Chicago and I picked up an original NES console for $5, plus 2 controllers and the orange light gun for $1 a pop. The console came with a non-working power adapter (luckily i had a spare) and had a copy of The Little Mermaid inside. Now granted I'm a college graduate, age 22, and (shh...) i still played that game for at least half an hour. Don't tell my girlfriend, she'll make fun of me.
I also got a Genesis game genie and NBA Live 98 for $2; and (this made me happy) Resident Evil 2 for N64 for $1.

Now, this wasn't a find from recently, but i've never posted before so i figured i'd put it up. Last year i got a lot of atari games off some obscure offering-for-sale site for $20 or so. With this lot was something like 15 Atari games, 2 near-perfect condition original 2600 controllers and the keypad controller, nearly all the instruction manuals (w00t! - including the Yars' Revenge comic book - brings back memories of playing that when i was 5 or 6).

There were also these weird little Amiga Power-Stick controllers for the 2600 (listed in the rarity guide incorrectly as "PowerStik"):

for scale purposes, side-by-side with the original controller and in my (rather large and bony) hand:





Oddly enough, they're not too bad to play on (at least compared to using the original atari joysticks, which aside from looking cool were terrible control devices, or to going the "ghetto route" and just plugging original Genesis controllers - which have a terrible d-pad). I'd never seen these before, and supposedly they're pretty uncommon - they alone justified the $20 for the lot.

Well, the find of the week for me is a NHL 97 for the Genny

Not only that, but damnit I hit the goodwill earlier (where I got NHL) and found about 15 PERFECT 2600 games. These games looked flawless, like they had been opened only days earlier. So I walk up to the counter with my NHL '97 and 12 2600 games. Of course they charge 1.99 for the Genny NHL game and 1.99 per 2600 game... I left the 2600 games there, but damnit its eating away at me now :/

I picked up two of those back when Mike Etler had his store. Great find! They are truly fantastic for the 2600. Add a whole new level of control, and with MUCH less fatigue.
