A short list guide to classic games of all consoles you should buy. For example: My wife dragged me to a flea market today after work. Yeah there's the normal guy who has a shop there with inflated prices. Granted he's amusing to talk to, he just prices everything ebay style. Well there was an outside temporary booth with a guy who had "computer games" and I bought about ten 2600 carts for a buck a piece of which I didn't have. What he also had were 5200,7800 and some atari computer games all for 2.50 each. Now if I had known what was common or bettter yet, what people would want, I'd buy them for people, but I have no clue what's a decent deal or not. He had NES stuff(bought a Link II game for a buck and it was shiny gold) genesis stuff(bought a madden 92' which year I needed to complete my Madden collection) for a buck. He had SNES games PS1 games, but again I had no clue what was worth getting or not. Would be cool if I had a list of maybe rare games and up and what would be a steal. I'd rather get them for you guys than have someone else get them.

haha so true

complacency begets animosity

haha Nice job! can you also make it a self-sufficient portable unit?

I must put a plea in for the sports titles. If you're remotely into sportsgames, pick up some of the classics like Madden Football - EA's NHL series. They are quite campy and fun to play!

good job guys

Robinhood Conquest of the Longbow = the best point and click adventure ever

it was the one in Exton, but please don't stay away, indulge the little shit. I know I'll have some more fun at his expense

yeah, that's what kind of baffled me. I mean c'mon, they surely can't be commissioned. Judging from the arrogance oozing about the place, I'm sure it was two guys just having a pissing contest. Oh yeah and another thing, as we were leaving, said employee was giving another customer the hard sell about a playstation that the guy bought used that didn't work with questions like, "you sure it's not your TV?" "You know how to hook one of these things up, right?". I can see asking questions like that, but it was the snearing way he asked them.

Who the hell do these punk kids think they are? I had to set this one guy straight yesterday. Mothers Day and the kids and I drop my wife off to go shopping(of course after breakfast in bed and gift opening) So being the nice husband that I am, I decide to take the kids and let my wife shop in peace. So we head up the street to EB Games which we frequent quite often. The employees there are generally helpful and non abrasive up until about a month ago when this troll like kid(guessing he's 20-22) started working there. My oldest son is flipping through a gaming guide, my youngest is playing something on the game cube, and I'm perusing the Genesis games looking for something cool(btw they had Virtual Racer for 10 bucks if anyone wants me to get them a copy - PM me). I over hear the employee in question talking quite loud and boisterously of how HE has the most sales than even the older employees..yada yada yada So he walks into the back room for a minute or two and comes back and decides to walk by where I am and a discussion ensues. arroagant EB employee: Ahh yes checking out the older games, huh? me: yep aEBe: (in a condescending manner) you really should upgrade your system.. me: oh yeah? aEBe:(walking with his back to me) they have better graphics now.. *snickers* me: listen bonehead, I happen to have an Xbox and a PS2 aEBe:ohh well sorry I didn't know, we do have some new games out(as he points to the xbox games) why don't you check those out me: because they suck and are over priced That was about the extent of it, he didn't say anything after that and it was all quiet in the store except I could hear my son chuckling from an isle over.. picked up Pitfall Mayan Adventure for 4 bucks!

hey Cropsy any news yet? I almost forgot about this!

bingo! works like a charm

wow! that rocks! I want one!!! hmm I have a 2" screen portable Sony TV that I'd love to convert, but man! no friggin' clue how to make a VCS.

12 laps?!? man I tried this morning and figured 12 was impossible. Nice job! I'll concede the belt - You deserve it man

woohoo! pretty good show so far http://www.retrogamingradio.com/

nobody? woohoo!! I'm the champ!

Game #12 - Ice Racing time limit - How many laps can you do in 60 seconds? I can't get past 11 laps(3/4 of the way to 12 laps)

Skiing - except for when you have the "expert" button selected to jump

I get pissed off at the over abundant of reading parts - I tried playing my sons' metroid game for the gb advance. It totally blew, so much frickin' reading! where's the stinkin' game play?!?

man, my wife dragged me to at least 6-7 sales today and nothing, well except my son got a gameboy camera with the printer for 50 cents.

while on the treadmill So, not a bright move, got it.. won't happen again.. promise I lost the little spring which goes under the red button - I'm eyeing the spring in one of my ballpoint pens at work. Anyone know if that'll work? Thanks!

I used to try to make different strategy games with it by using only certain pieces and lining them up differently.. Unfortunately the computer would take awhile to figure out what was going on and I'd get bored and quit

whoa nice label!

I think Philly is well represented, but I think I'm on my own way out here in the western suburbs.
