I love days like that. That's how last year was for me except EVERYTHING was Genesis stuff.

Picked up a sealed Dreamcast Web Browser. Why are these things so damn common?

On the way back from a delivery (I work at Domino's) I stopped at a garage sale and picked up Milo's Astro Lanes (N64) Crusin' USA (N64) Toy Story (Genesis) ....All for $1

Does the NES work completely without blinking? Congrats. Everyone out there who has gotten a pristine NES only to have it blink.... raise your hand Cybercylon raises his hand, once... twice... Works 100% perfect. All you have to do is disable the lockout chip, only takes a few minutes It will stop the blinking, but you still have to keep your carts clean so they play/boot properly of course. I've never had to do that. Just ran the connector through the dishwasher and then scrubbed some more afterwards with jewelry cleaner. Now it works even with dirty carts.

That....IS....AWESOME!!!!!

So this weekend someone unloaded a massive collection to a thrift shop. Among the 40 or so boxed NES and SNES games, these were my choices for $25. Later on the way back home I stopped at a garage sale and after talking to a guy about old games he showed me the most ****ed up NES I have ever seen, 2 NES Max controllers, a Zapper and 10 games and he said $5 for all of it. I got the NES working and almost 90% complete except the missing door. Here's a before and after. and after (didn't bother with the bottom yet)

Wouldn't that be Sumgal? It was probably just crap you already had; Combat, Pac-Man, Space Invaders and so on. A boxed Vic-20 for basically $5 ($10/2?) was probably a better deal anyway if it's working and nice. They're getting way harder to find than 2600's are. Still, so sorry for your loss! Thanks for your support. The vic 20 works ok, just seems to take a few seconds after hitting the power switch for the unit to turn on, like a really old radio or something. Weird. Anyway I walked away with 2 SNES games for $5 today. Super Mario All-stars and Castlevania IV

My god that's a good deal.

Not gaming related but I got a Sirius Satellite in-car receiver for $20. Those usually run upwards of $100.

Wow that thing looks pretty cool. I would have a perfect place for it too.

This garage sale was less than a mile from my house so I couldn't resist to go. Ended up with this for $10. Hasn't been turned on since 1985. Can't wait to see if it works 25 years later. Here's a video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFsrqX5rY-4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PrFwwohxt6s

No if they haven't yet, they never will, besides UV damage. They will get brittle unfortunately. ABS plastic sucks for that.

Newest additions.

Just think. In 5 years, all those Star Trek episodes will come out on one Blu-Ray. Nah, there's a lot of reasons that won't happen so I'm not worried about it. It might happen with TNG and TOS. They were both shot in widescreen iirc.

Herzog Zwei is pretty cool. I hear that Drei is even better.

I would love to see a special edition Wii like what they did for the 20th anniversary with the GBA SP.

Nice haul!! You're gonna have some fun with the Crush games.

Nah man. Had no gas to gout anywhere west of Bayshore. Plus I'm retired from being Someguy this season. Giving someone else a break. Oh which town are you in BTW?

I started off at 3 years old with an Arkanoid machine at my camp in 1994. Yes guys. I'm only 18. But yeah Arkanoid is a very difficult game to start off playing. I would recommend something like Crusin' USA. Also just a word of advice. If you ever want to get a gamer into cars, get Gran Tuismo 2.

Can't wait to see what he has to say about Cheetahmen.
