    Five issues from the early 1990s, one is missing a cover and another has a loose cover but they're all intact otherwise and readable. Lots of obscure game development and coverage going on in VG&CE that simply didn't happen in other publications because they dared to write for an older audience. $15 shipped anywhere to the 48 contiguous USA. It'll be a hefty package over 2 lbs boxed. PENDING/SOLD

    I've produced a very limited run of custom Hanafuda playing cards. I think they would make great stocking stuffers or a Secret Santa pack-in for 2015. For those who aren't familiar, "flower cards" were Nintendo's first product and are still being made to this day. This is my take on a classic, satirizing some familiar faces and themes as a throwback to Edo Japan. I illustrated these myself. They are 2.25" x 3.5" Bridge size cards, they should fit in protective sleeves intended for YuGiOh cards.

    They are quality cardstock and come in a full color tuckbox, all professionally printed, coated, cut and shrinkwrapped. The cards feel great too! I am proud to offer something of this quality.

    The price is $13.99 shipped USPS first class (continental USA) per deck. I will combine shipping if you want more than one. International shipping is available for a little more, simply let me know where you're located.

     


  3. I have this listed on eBay for more, but if you're interested, by all means hit me up here. My asking price is $350, but I am open to negotiation and can swing free shipping if you are in the continental USA. First, some pics, then I will explain everything that's been done to this bad boy.

    All electrolytic capacitors replaced.
    Heatsinks added to CPU, PPU and NESRGB controller chip so everything runs much cooler.
    Substantial cooling fins added to voltage regulator for longer life + 1.5 amp regulator instead of 1 amp stock.
    All video/audio signal wiring is shielded and grounded.
    Everything is easily disconnected and removable for future replacement/rework.
    Switch underneath the NES to disable NESRGB for stock RF or composite video.
    S-Video and 8-pin mini-din for RGB, perfect for Framemeister XRGB Mini. Stereo audio through 1/8" jack. You don't have to buy custom multi-out cables to get the most out of this system's video capabilities unless you want a SCART connection. S-VHS looks amazing on CRT televisions, while a Framemeister setup would display NES games beautifully on modern LCD televisions.
    The 72 pin connector was refurbished and scrubbed clean. Plays games right away provided the games have also been cleaned.
    Corrosion / flux residue from motherboard cleaned off.
    RF modulator box had rust stripped away, treated into brushed steel and given a protective coating of deoxit.
    Front control panel added with decal:
    Mono to stereo mixer knobs- you can now separate the sound channels or blend them back into mono. Youtube video of a sample recording from this NES.
    NESRGB palette select switch-
    Expansion audio low/off/loud switch- Games like Gimmick! and Akumajou Densetsu sound fantastic on the Power Pack. Youtube video of a sample recording from this NES.
    Pics of heatsinks, shielded wiring inside, etc:

    Spare parts and extra decals will be included. I will also provide printed instructions/notes and a pinout for the 8-pin mini-din. If you want me to put a scart cable together I can do that for extra.

  4. Purchased a Nintendo NES set from this fellow recently and everything arrived quickly, well packed and protected. He was super courteous over the phone and we had a great conversation about general video game foolishness, older electronics and goings on at Atari Age. Wouldn't hesitate to deal with again.
