[Found this Atari XE system in storage...]

This was found in my personal storage locker (which I just emptied on Friday after a decade of ownership).

Anyone know much about it or its value???

SNES with all hook-ups and 2 controllers: $9.99 from Value Village.

some N64 "pocketbook" for $1.99 from VV as well.

 

I don't even need the SNES, I just bought it for the controllers (me and a bunch of buddies/co-workers wanna have a Super Bomberman fest around halloween).

 

So if anyone needs a core SNES system (minus the controllers), let me know.

Well ok, I know these arent "finds".. they are retail purchases, but still thought I'd share with ya'll:

 

 

Onyx-colored Nintendo DS Lite ($147.77) at Wal-Mart.

2 DVD's for $15: Blazing Saddles and The Green Mile

and Three's Company Season 8 for $29.83.

 

Keep in mind, I get 10% off at Wal-Mart, so I actually saved about $15 bucks on the DS Lite.

 

Three's Company Season 8 completes the series. It's the first show that I have completed on DVD for it's entire run. Hopefully they will release "The Ropers" and/or "Three's A Crowd"...

[Happy 10th Birthday, Nintendo 64....]

Yes people... September 29th is finally here. It was 10 years ago today that the Nintendo 64 was released. (Yes, I know some retailers broke the street date and sold it on Sept. 26th). But Sept. 29th is the official release date.

 

I remember travelling nearly 3 hours away to the Kamloops, BC Wal-Mart (we left at 4am, and arrived at 7am). To my surprise, there was about 3-4 people already there (one was a girl) lined up. So I was 5th in line. It was fun killing off 2 hours talking to other gamers.

 

SINCE my cousin worked there (she was waiting outside with us), she donned her blue vest and got in the main entrance at 8:55, 5 minutes before store opening. Her main goal was to SECURE a system for me. So when the doors opened up, everyone AHEAD of me and everyone BEHIND me ran to the electronics. My girlfreind and I just walked casually, knowing we had one secured (and sure enough, we did). As soon as we got to the Electronics Dept, we were handed a brand new Nintendo 64 system by my cousin. I also picked up Super Mario 64 AND Pilotwings 64.

 

Since she only lived 20 mins away, we took it to her house, and I let my girlfreind have the first-ever turn (she played Super Mario 64). She died on the First Level of mario 64 where the chain chomp is. Then it was my turn, and if I recall, I made it all the way up that mountain to where that boss bob-omb was.

 

After a good 30 mins of taking turns and playing, we packed it back up, and took the 3-hour car ride back home. When we got back, my brother has invited 3 little kids over to see the new system, and since i already had my turn, I had to hook it up and let the 3 kids PLUS my brother play before I had another turn.

 

When I later opened up Pilotwings 64 that night, that hooked my dad. My dad really wasnt a video gamer at all, and I was shocked that he loved playing it. It was a good time for a father and son bond, and we did that.

 

My father is no longer with us (he died in November 2000), but I still remember us bonding that one night, 10 Years ago tonight.

 

Is anyone else gonna hook up their Nintendo 64 today, and give it some "Birthday Love"??

[The Official "Thrift finds" Thread]

Got these today (my first finds in a long time)....

 

Sega Dreamcast system

Official A/V cord for the Sega Dreamcast

Official AC Power Supply cord for the Sega Dreamcast

Official Sega VMU for the Sega Dreamcast

Official Sega controller for the Sega Dreamcast

Half-Life game (loose)

 

All the above for $20.00 at "Sally Ann's" (thrift store). Keep in mind, the Half-Life game was NEVER commercially released for the Dreamcast. Digital Press says it's an R10.

 

Also got the Nintendo Book u see pictured for $1.99 (at Value Village). This is my third copy of the book, so if anyone is in need of it, lemme know...

[NES game: 3D Worldrunner]

Looking for this NES game. I NEED it complete, meaning the original 3D glasses must be included.

 

I used to own 3D Worldrunner as a kid, but foolishly sold it off years ago, and I want it back again.

 

I also have a trade list that can be made available upon request. Thanks.

Thanks for the reply and info guys. I donno if I will grab them or not now.

[General Question about older 2600 carts...]

Just was at my local Value Village, and they had about 10-12 older Atari 2600 games. These are the text-only labels, but some of them had numbers to the left of the label on the end-label.

 

I have seen text-only carts WITHOUT the numbers, so I'm wondering if any of these numbered variations are worth picking up? I remember they had 01 Combat, and a few others (even #30).

 

These were each a $1.99, so is this somewhat of a unique find, or are these numbered variations kinda common?

Thanks to those who respond.
