    I realize I'm not dealing in anything uncommon or in demand, but I have a couple SNESes (Model 1 and 2, cleaned, tested), NESes (toasters, lockout disabled, connector cleaned and re-shaped, cleaned, tested) and Genesises (Model 2, cleaned, tested).

     

    I'm looking for:

    5200 games (just about anything, I only have four)

    Working N64 in good shape

    7800 power supply

     

    I realize that these items might not be equal value trades, but maybe someone out there has extras of what I need to trade for the extras I have?

     

    Maybe someone out there is rolling in N64s the way I'm rolling in SNESes.

     

    Just putting it out there.

    I like playing PS1 games on my PS1.

     

    Yeah, they can look better, but it's the smallest amount of work; I don't have to pirate a BIOS, I don't have to buy a joypad for my PC, I don't have to do anything but put a game in my PS1 and start it up. Simple. And the games look fine on the system --the later games, like Vagrant Story, are even designed to use the limitations of the system in their graphical presentation.

    I grabbed a bunch of 7800 games from a Goodwill recently under the assumption that I'd either find a system or trade/sell them. I ended up trading/selling them to wccw mark and then finding a 7800 at the same Goodwill three weeks later.

     

    :)

     

    As a rule though, I'd pick up games for a system I intend to buy just so I don't have to miss anything I might not see again. I hope to one day own a Virtual Boy, so I'd grab any games I saw for it to avoid having to track them down later.

    new VCR to act as an RF demodulator for my Atari systems ($8), which will hopefully take some of the audio buzz out of my Atari signals.

     

    Totally worked! Now playing buzz-free 2600!

     

    I just need to get one of those three-way cable splitters and reverse it so I can plug all three of my Atari systems into the VCR at once (should work as long as only one Atari is on at once, right?).

     

    So you have the RF from the atari going into the RF input on the VCR, then the composite cables going into your TV? You did that because there was some audio hum?

    Just trying to get a picture here.....A little confused.

     

    Correct, I'm using one of those RF-to-COAX adapters to go from my 2600 to the VCR, and then composite cables out to a system selector. The system selector was the point of the exercise; I wanted all my games on one TV input, and every other system I have has composite.

     

    The first VCR I attempted this with produced a loud buzz, so I replaced the VCR and it eliminated the buzz.

     

    Now I want to do the same with my 5200 and 7800, but don't want to have to buy a VCR for each, so I figure a cable splitter, turned around so that it's 3-to-1 rather than 1-to-3, and a couple more RF-to-COAX adapters might work.

     

    Is that clearer?

    Passed on a Model 1 Genny ("High Definition Graphics"), a Model 2 Genny, and an NES tonight at Goodwill; they were $15, $10 and $10 respectively and, though I don't have a Model 1 Genny, I do have three perfectly good Model 2s. As for the NES, I have two or three and I'm sick of fixing them :)

     

    I did pick up an NES002 AC Adapter ($1), since I always seem to be short on them, a gray Zapper ($3), and a new VCR to act as an RF demodulator for my Atari systems ($8), which will hopefully take some of the audio buzz out of my Atari signals.

    What was it called? "Mars Matrix" or something? That game looked so cool but what so unbelievably hard.

     

     

    You might be doing it wrong. :) Mars Matrix is one of my favorite games on the system.

    I agree, and it's nothing personal; read some guides or something about the strategy of Mars Matrix, it is a little different from other shooters (but remarkably hard, you are correct on that point).

     

    My brother and I had a blast with it when it was new.

    Snatcher alone is fetching more than what you paid for all of it. I'd love to get a nice Sega haul like that.

     

    That's why I jumped on it. The box smells like it's from a smoking house, which sucks, but oh'well, I'll spray 'em all down and scrub 'em before I shelve it all.

     

    Craig's list, at least in my area, seemed like a pretty good place to be looking for lots like this. It beats the eBay prices.

    This is technically a Craig's List deal, but I'm posting it here anyway, just try and stop me ;p

     

    All this stuff just arrived at work, so I've only poked through the boxes a little to see if it looked like it was all there. It all looks good, but I can't attest to the actual quality of most of it yet. For example, I have no idea if the systems boot.
