I Am a Child from the Dawn of the Video Game Age
GrizzLee posted a topic in Show Us Your Collection!
My Retro/Vintage Gaming Hobby I Am a Child from the Dawn of the Video Game Age Taking a side trip here away from my adventures here. Anyone who knows me personally, can attest that I am somewhat of a geek and so it’s no surprise that I became an mechanical/aerospace engineer by trade. With that stated, I always had an interest in building things and tinkering with electronics, etc.. As I was growing up in the 70's I was fortunate to experience and be able to participate in the dawn of a new era. It all started simple enough with my father coming back from a business trip in Texas one year with one of the first ever digital calculators. I was hooked. I loved the display, the tactile feel of the buttons and the ease of use. I was further inspired when I saw advanced calculators becoming available and even into my high school and college years where I always had to have the latest programmable calculators for my science, math and eventually engineering courses. Now this seems pretty minor in this day and age, but back then, looong before cell phones, home computers, high level object oriented programming languages, etc.. this was an exciting era for me.

A long time friend of mine came by for a visit one day and asked if it was OK to shoot video of my old video game collection and my "man cave" where I hibernate during the winter months when I am not out exploring.

I might as well post this here, seeing that the FX Pak Pro and Super Everdrive owe a bit of their existences to this part of history.- 1 reply

My Random process for choosing a Super NT Console
GoldLeader posted a blog entry in GoldLeader's Blog
Hi all! This may end up being a boring read, but I thought I'd document my Super NT purchase in a Blog. Just a one off... Mainly because I'm going to pick the color at random. First, I've wanted an Analogue Super NT since they were first announced. SNES in HD here I come! For what it's worth (FWIW), when I could afford one, at first they were still in "Pre-Order" mode...Then they only had black. Then they appeared to be out of stock at one point when I had money so I bought a RetroN 77 instead, Which may have been a mistake...But That's another story. Now the MEGA SG (A sort of HD SEGA Genesis FPGA Console) will be coming out and I HAVE To HAVE one of Those too!!! Damn you Analogue! But, the MEGA SG is in "Pre-Order" mode now and will be coming out in April 2019, so I have time to save for that separately and get this (SUPER NT) NOW. Back when I was in college I bought a SNES in January of 1992 and then later bought a Sega Genesis, also in 1992, and that also marked the first time I bought a console that was Not the latest thing. I've Loved both ever since. I had an MGH (or Multi Game Hunter ) that worked for BOTH SNES and Genesis allowing me to put games on discs. I've also bought tons of games for each system. And now I have Everdrives too...Moving on. I'm picking the color of the console AT RANDOM. I thought it would make an interesting purchase and I'd document it here. Even if just a couple of people read it or comment, I'll be happy. Otherwise it's just for me and that's cool too They discontinued the transparent color (which I didn't want anyway) so there's 3 color choices: BLACK, CLASSIC, and SFC (SUPER FAMICOM). So initially I wanted CLASSIC....Purple and gray, Just like my SNES. FWIW, I still have my SNES from '92 plus a couple more in case one breaks (Perish the thought!)... Then when all they had available was BLACK, I set my sights on it... Now, with all color choices available to order I've given new thought to SFC because nobody really thinks about it and they'll likely be more rare, I assume. Not that I'm not really worried about rarity or anything. If I were to guess, I'd think Black was the most common since it seemed the most widely available, but that could also imply they sold out of the Classic color scheme quickly because of its popularity...So perhaps Black and Classic are the most common while SFC would be less popular here I'd predict, but bigger in Japan (as everyone matches their nostalgia with a color scheme haha)...The Transparent (See-Through) one, Now discontinued would be the rare one for collectors, but it was easily my least favorite anyway. And matching wireless controllers are available from 8BITDO for any color choice. So...Here's my thoughts currently: CLASSIC Matches my SNES and I've always liked that color scheme. BLACK Matches my soul and my PS2, plus my Retro Duo is black,... and my Vader 2600, my Black Dreamcast... Also might look neato parked next to my MEGA SG, once I get one of those (It will be mainly black). SFC Matches some SFC controllers I have and might be spiffy to be the oddball who goes for this choice, since I predict this one will be bigger in Japan. Below is a pic of the matching controllers, but from what I've read I assume (but don't know for certain) all of their controllers will work with the Super NT if you have the Retro Receiver...I think you can also use these on the SNES/NES Classic if you have the Classic Receiver (So I'll get a couple of those too)... OK SO now to trust in the RANDOM ENERGY of the Universe! (Skulls and Spidey are pretty Random ...Hmm so is Jango Fett...maybe next time) I do this often, for example, rolling dice to see which CD Comp I will listen to....Including randomly picking which spool of CDs, which disc and which song... I could just roll a die, but then the saga would end too quickly... What I'm going to do is this: Collect points for each color choice based upon die rolls and then the winner will be the first Color to a certain amount of points. I'll explain as I go... First the Winner will need X Amount of points. X will equal 3 dice rolled. I will Add them up. (Rolling 3 standard 6 sided dice now)... X = 2 + 1 + 4 = 7 The Winner needs 7 points! OK Now for each die roll the following COLOR gets a point: (I'll list the colors alphabetically) 1 BLACK 2 CLASSIC 3 SFC 4 BLACK 5 CLASSIC 6 SFC I'm making a Matrix below and will add one hashmark (Represented as "I") for each die roll until one color gets to 7 (For example, rolling a 2 would give CLASSIC a point. Does that make sense ? I hope so) Here goes Nothing! ***At this point I roll the dice, and tally the points until one color reaches 7 points*** BLACK CLASSIC SFC I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I And after all is said and done CLASSIC is The WINNER! There was a lot of back and forth that would not have been easy to put into a Blog (I didn't want to be too confusing), but before that final die roll, both Classic and SFC had 6 points... I am now going to order a CLASSIC SUPER NT!! And later on,... a Controller for the Super NT, A CollectorVision Phoenix, a MEGA SG ...And I should also keep saving to get out of debt haha... Thanks for reading! -

This adapter was named after The 8 Bit Guy that came with a SNES layout for a game that he is developing (for Commodore PET/64) that have controls very similar to Robotron, where the directional Pad controls the movement while the X Y A B buttons control the shooting direction. Full keyboard control is provided using the SELECT and START buttons as Alt/Modifiers keys The connections to the Atari 5200 should be done by use of two cable extensions. If cable on Port 2 is not connected the X Y A B buttons behave like TOP/BOTTOM buttons. The adapter should also support the NTT data controller. Like the regular SNES controller the X Y A B buttons revert to TOP/BOTTOM when the cable on port 2 is not connected. The circuit shall also provide support for NES controllers, though with limited keypad support. The connection to the SNES controller should be done by cutting an extension cable and soldering the wires to the PCB. The PCB is designed to fit within a Hammond 1593J case. Base code is ready. Next step is prototyping. Murray-BaseCode.zip

Some fun new games!

This photo is actually from 2017 but (surprisingly) my collection hasn't changed that much. I am casing CIB NES and SNES games now and I have more Sega CD games than what's pictured. But this is still pretty much how it looks. I have a lot more photos up on my Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/retromegabit/

Hey there guys and gals! After trying out some modern retro systems on my HDTV for a while I've come to the conclusion that I prefer doing my classic gaming on a CRT, so here's some hi-def retro goodies up for sale! To give you a reference for my reliability as a buyer and seller, you can see all the feedback I've received from selling games and related accessories on eBay over the last half a dozen or so years here:http://www.ebay.com/usr/hanz0d0g You can also find my AtariAge Marketplace User Feedback thread here:http://atariage.com/forums/topic/254880-jin/ Before we get down to business, here's the usual info: All prices listed below are firm and do not include shipping costs. Shipping costs to anywhere in the United States will be calculated by based on zip code and package size/weight. All games will be shipped via USPS in heavy duty cardboard sleeves wrapped in bubble wrap inside a padded bubble mailer to ensure that they arrive safely and undamaged, and delivery confirmation will be included so that you can track the package. International shipping is available upon request and will be calculated based on location. Payment is accepted via PayPal only and all sales are on a "first come first serve" basis. In other words, the first person to PM me about an item gets it! There are some things I am willing to accept in trade, and you can find the list of those items below: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Stuff I'll Trade For Atari 7800 system in excellent condition with no chips or cracks and a near mint chrome strip Game Boy Color system (I'll be refurbishing it with a new shell and buttons so any condition is fine as long as everything works properly) EverDrive GB X7 Original NES system in excellent condition with no yellowing, chips, or cracks Gray NES Zapper in excellent condition Sega Master System Light Phaser in excellent condition ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now that we've got the formalities out of the way, here's what I have for sale. Analogue Mega SG I put probably a dozen or so hours of use on it and everything works perfectly and looks just like new, aside from the power brick which has a few rather large scratches on it. Price: SOLD RetroUSB AVS Looks just like new, no flaws or blemishes of any kind and works perfectly. Price: $170 Super Nintendo Classic Edition w/ Insignia 6ft Extension Cables Used but in very nice shape. The system itself is mint with no scratches or blemishes and the controllers are as well, with the exception of some light scratching on the second controller's A & B buttons. There is what appears to be a bit of white paint on the power cable though it was that way out of the box when I got it. Everything works just as it should with no problems of any kind. Price: SOLD Thank you for taking the time to view my sales thread and just shoot me a DM if you're interested in buying or trading for anything! -
Took me MONTHS to get these!

I figured I'd ask here if anyone has a really nice, original SNES with original components, that HAS NOT been retrobrighted and HAS NOT been modded and that they'd be willing to part with for a fair price. P.S. I'm not exactly seeking anything fancy like CIB or a 1CHIP. I just want an unmolested SNES that looks and functions as new with all the rudimentary OEM stuff included. That said, I'd consider whatever you have that fits the above criteria and is priced fairly according to what it is.
