BoOchan!

Some more weird and wonderful stuff today I found, ended up spending almost all my money as usual I got: Warwick SwapMart: Darth Vader Atari 2600 With Atari Joypad, and 9 Games (Including 2 Double Enders) AU$8 Obscure All-In-One Sharp PC-7000 (Uses RJ11 Keyboard...) AU$5 Karrinyup Swapmeets Boxed NES, Mint: AU$10 Toshiba 4400C Laptop, complete and Very Cute AU$20 On whole not to much of a bad day, though I need to get up earlier... 6:50am is not early enough it seems...

Chris It would be dead, unfortunately. It has a built in game. Knowing those vector monitors, it's porbably given in quite a bit of abuse. But the case would be worth it alone IMO. Anyway, The case would be worth it alone, those cases are very good, even though they have those odd sized monitors, but Meh. You'll find something to do with it

I would say this on IRC: /me Falls Over Vectrex's seem to be more plentiful here then anywhere else in Australia. Seen one in a Retro Shop in Perth for $80. Anyway, Shit last week and this week I was camping. where'd you get it?

Krisjohn From what the rotary people told me, the reason Warwick Grove was so full was because Karrinyup was off. Yeah, the thing worked perfectly, it had a euro plug but I have about 5 euro adpaters so that didn't matter.

Hey All I beat Kirsjohn today, getting to the Swapmeet at 6:15am, and walked out with a very overflowed trolley. Today I found: Atari 2600 6 Switch with 7 Games, Paddles, Working: A$25 Commodore Amiga 1081 Monitor A$25 Casio PB-700 Portable Computer & FA-10 Expansion Pack for it, in Case: A$12 Box of Various Sega and Nes Crap $5 One of the best days in a while

IMO Krisjohn, that was a pretty steep price for an Atari 8 Bit Computer, I'm sure theirs some info somewhere around, theirs an Atari 400/800 FAQ around if I'm not mistaken. Anyway, Today was a fairly large day for swapmeets, which I seen kirsjohn at 2/3 I went to. Picked Up: Boxed Sega Master System 2 With Couple of Games: A$20 MS Publisher 3.0 for Windows 95 (For my Laptop) A$5 All in all a fairly good day today, have had better though.

DAMN YOU Krisjohn! I seen you buy that (I was the teen in the Puma jacket) with despair, you were in a red jumper right? I didn't find anything else at karrinyup, But I found a boxed original Master system and a 4 Switch Woodgrain 2600 with a couple of games for $40. And the other day at an op shop in Wangra I found another original master system in a Sega case with all connections, etc for $20.

Another VERY BIG Find today, and Something from a friend of mine: Intellivision I with 2 Carts, Computer Attachment, Voice Synsthesis module, all complete: A$15! No Brand Obscure system complete with 2 Pongish Games: A$10 Master System II With about 15 Games: A$25 Overall a VERY GOOD Find

Yay, More Auction Stuff for my cool new Notebook Canon BubbleJet 10sx- A$19.80 Perfect little (Literally) printer for my small notebook!

My Copy works Great on my '92 7800.

Yup, I've got these. This is in a "Go for Gold Pak". Same, as I only have 1/2 a slick here but in that oversized case.

There's a woman frequently at the Karinyup (sp?) swap-meet that has heaps of toys plus the occasional video game thing. I've bought stuff from her before, but I can't think what. Possibly my first SMS, but some other cart stuff more recently. Any funky projects for the system..? I've seen her before, I tend to stick to Warwick BTW. Not many projects at this time, but If i find any SC-3000 stuff in the wild, I go estatic. What version of Basic came with it, II, IIIA or IIIB? Was it the Rubber keys keyboard? This computer does remind me of the ZX Spectrum, but the SC-3000 IMO is way better. What joysticks, I have 2 Boxed of them, SJ-200 and SJ-300 I have.

What a coincidence, I found one of these the other week .Where'd you get this one. However I only got a boxed BASIC cart with it. However, the one I found was boxed and seemed never used

I found some weird shit today: Regular Pong that was like new A$10 Texas Instruments TI-1025 Calculator, hell rare and old A$5

Nope, Just Ideas

Since I'm nearing 1000 Posts, I want to have a Contest. The only idea I've found is showing a picture of me then guess height/weight. That isn't to good, but I can't think of any. Who Has Ideas Of Contests? NOTE: This is Not a Contest. THIS IS A THREAD FOR CONTEST IDEAS.

Found yet another Laptop Today (They earn me $$$ On eBay!) Toshiba T1200 Intel 80C86 9.77Mhz, 1MB Ram, DOS 3.3, 20MB HD, 720K 3 1/2 Floppy.

The 7800 Base Console Looks like it's floating!

Nice Mix of Genesis Controllers, Famicom Games and 7800 Case! IMO Weird crap comes out of Brazil.

Pressure Cooker (IMO the most underrated Activision Game.)

I feel sorry for you. I'm lucky, becuase my parents don't mind me spending money on these things. They classify it as a "Hobby" For me

I remember a while back mine has tempramental video, then I found out it was the VCR it was plugged into cause its AV out was flakey. Now I've plugged It directly into the TV and it works great!

In Australia, we have fathers day, strangely enough on the First Sunday of September...

IMO It's worth the money. Their are some gems their (Roll Away, Tomba!, Ape Escape, etc) while you have to currantly have to sort through the Shit they are releasing now (Barbie/Mary Kate & Ashley, Barney, etc) to find the good stuff.

You can use this Adaptor (The Auction in the link) (Not Mine!) on the Genesis II Which were made by Australian Suplliers HES. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...7&category=3642
