How *not* to store your handheld games

[How *not* to store your handheld games]

orangest lives above a crematorium.

 

Knowing that we breathe in people's dead skin every day is bad enough, but this ... this is just over the top! *throw up frowny*

 

Don't worry, I'm not crematorium-adjacent... I just live within the pristine atmosphere of Los Angeles. It's probably been at least a year since I last rummaged though, but probably more based on the buildup.

 

I've cleaned off the top layers of muck, and still need to get into the nooks and crannies. Thanks for the cleaning suggestions.

 

And genius maneuver #2 on my part: leaving the batteries in the Blip all this time. Time for the baking soda...

[How *not* to store your handheld games]

Was doing some end of the year sorting around in my apartment's outdoor storage shed when I came across these...

 

 

Oops. Guess I should cover them next time. And check the shed more frequently.

This and cartridge #3 (which I've since sold) were included for some reason as part of a 2600 Ebay auction I won years and years ago. I've never had a Telstar Arcade unit so it's untested, but looks to be in great shape. Asking $45 + shipping. Thanks for looking!

Wow. What a catch for a goodwill. How much did it put you back?

 

They were $5.99 each, so it was a bit of a hit...

[The Official "Thrift finds" Thread]

I've found a few PlayStation and Saturn imports over the years; a city like Los Angeles has no shortage of international media items floating about.

 

Went back to that same Goodwill over the weekend; found a few more U.S. Saturn games with the "Please return to Fox Interactive" sticker (Crimewave, Cyber Speedway, Manx TT Superbike and Robotica), in addition to a shrinkwrapped Die Hard Trilogy. Combining that with the all of the imports, it makes me wonder about exactly how it all ended up at a Goodwill...

 

A different Goodwill offered up a GH PS1 Castlevania: Symphony of the Night and a Making of Resident Evil 4 DVD.

 

Finally, I found a PS1 Mega Man X6 disc inside a GH Mega Man Legends case (with neither manual) at a Salvation Army.

[The Official "Thrift finds" Thread]

 

Never expected to see that much imported goodness at once at a Goodwill in Manhattan Beach, CA. Pretty much all of the obis and other paperwork are included.

 

Thought the Fox Interactive sticker was interesting too, but that's the collector sickness talking.
