buddpaul Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Last weekend (March 22, '08): Financially, had to walk away from a few things..........(sorry, I'm going to list everything here, even non-video game stuff)........... 1. A VHS tape of "Matilda" in a case for an Olsen-twins movie (my daughter loves Matilda). 2. A home-made VHS dub of "Platoon" and "Predator". 3. A low-end Telescope ($5.00, though and looks good!). 4. A hard cover copy of M. Scott Peck's "The Road Less Traveled". 5. An I'm-away-from-home-turn-on-my-lamps timer ($1). 6. 3 NES controllers and 4 (probably early 90's) PC joysticks. 7. The in-box manual for MS Flight Simulator 2000 (no CD, though - - those get shoplifted...grrrrrr). Only dropped about $12 all-totaled. Paul B.

buddpaul Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 everything works but i have a quick question about one of the controlers i was wondering if you guys have seen them they say super pad on the middle with 64 under it and instead of having the three hand grips it only has one on each side the trigger button is on the left. is it a nintendo product? I'm pretty certain that's not a Nintendo product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasovich Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 I'm pretty certain that's not a Nintendo product. Yea after looking at it a little more the part that plugs into the nintendo dosent have the little thumb spot on it it just has circles. but it works great for it.

Segataritensoftii Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 (edited) Not exactly a "Thrift find" per se, but today, I found the Lynx version of Batman Returns on the sidewalk in front of the school today. It looked very battered up, with scratched plastic and contacts, and parts of the label ripped, but it was still an awesome find. I just wish I had a Lynx to test it on...

27ace27 Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 my obsession over the 2600 started when i found a pac man and a combat cart at a goodwill for 50 cents, i pickd them up, did some research, and began my obsession over a 2600! (i now have a sizeable 2600 collection!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
