Poopopyo Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 Another great day at the flea market. all of that for $15. I have some questions. What is the device in the middle called? What system is The Activision Decathalon for??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnapCraft Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 I have some questions. What is the device in the middle called? What system is The Activision Decathalon for??? That's for Colecovision. The slightly curved edges on the face of the cart towards the bottom give it away. 2600 carts are more rectangular shaped. Fleas! Nothing much lately... Bought: Beavis & Butthead "This Sucks, Change It!" book with "remote" that does sound effects (need new batteries) $5 NES L.o.Z. Gold $1 Tiger Game.com hand-held (beat up a bit) w/ Midway Classics cart $10 (yeah, the system really does suck, pay no more than $2 for these) TeleGames Pong Sports IV (beat up) $1 GameCube Mario Party 4 $1 L.o.Z. Twilight GameCube strategy guide $3 Atari 2600 Spider Fighter $1 Passed: Atari Vader boxed with Pac-man (boxed) like new $50 (probably could have gotten down to $40, but....)

SnapCraft Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 Another great day at the flea market. I have some questions. What is the device in the middle called? What system is The Activision Decathalon for??? Oh yeah, that device is a multi-cart changer. Plug carts into each open slot, then plug the "brown" corded cart into the Atari (?) and just switch to the game you want to play. (It's for the ULTRA lazy out there). And before you complain about the Beavis & Butthead book being overpriced, it was sealed. (I opened it though) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRGilbert Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 I have some questions. What is the device in the middle called? It's a Video Game Brain from RGA International, Atari2600.com sells em for $20 loose like that, so that's a nice find. I don't think it will work with a 7800 though, so keep that in mind if you have one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRGilbert Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 It's been really slim pickings around here lately. Last Saturday was rained out for yard sales, but I did go out and hit most of the pawns and thrifts. All I turned up was an Xbox advanced AV pack and a remote dongle for $5 total. This weekend wasn't much better. Hit about 20 yard sales and picked up: Gamecube Rogue Squadron II Players Guide $.25 Gamecube Luigis Mansion Players Guide $.25 Gamecube game wallet (Nintendo brand, nice to have for loose games) $.25 Dreamcast games Chuchu Rocket Railroad Tycoon II Chicken Run all three for $10 PS1 Pong The Next Level $.50 Xbox The Guy Game - $5! I'd heard there was something collectable about this one, so I got it. Xbox - Logitech Precision wireless controller - $5 I was pretty happy with this as I've been on the lookout for a while.

Silverfleet Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Went to the flea market yesterday and came up with the following: NES: -Mega Man -Rock 'N Ball -Kid Niki: Radical Ninja SMS: Zillion II: The Tri Formation complete in the box and mint Genesis: -Wardner -Steel Empire TG16: -Battle Royale I paid $35 for all of that, the bulk of it was the $20 for Mega Man. I haven't seen it in the wild for a long time for that cheap. Another vendor there was selling one for $40! I only need Mega Man 4 to have the whole set!

Very cool that you found Mega Man and are close to the set, not so cool that your flea market sounds like people that check ebay before bringing their games. I always like the people who just say, "Oh, $5 for the box" or "$1 each on those". I guess that is a rare thing now, who doesn't know about ebay these days? Things were so much better when I lived in Pennsylvania 10 years ago, I pulled some amazing 2600 games out of Lebanon County for years!

madhatter667 Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Haven't pulled much out in the way of games lately... though yesterday I did find a Coleco Expansion Module, with its box at Goodwill.... got it for $3. Needs a dusting off, but doesn't seem busted. Gotta go dig out my Colecovision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A2600 Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Picked up an N64 with hook ups one clear purple controller memory card and Conkers Bad Fur Day 10.00 for the whole lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGQuarterly Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 From Craigslist, I scored a free Game Gear that came with a large case, wall adapter, car adapter, two snap-on rechargable battery kits, the little screen magnifier doodad, and Chessmaster. The system needs its audio and video caps replaced, but I like doing stuff like that. I got PGA European Golf (GB), Wrestlemania Challenge (NES), Sonic 2 (GG), and Joe Montana Football (GG) for about $13 total at a music store, then in a trade with someone else here in AA I got Bionic Commando (NES), Boulderdash (NES), and Baseball Simulator 1.000 (NES) for $10.

Pretty good for boxed TG-16 I think. Thats would have been nice - a free TG-16 Thanks for the sub! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MFoolsRun Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 I picked up a 3do at Goodwill the other day. Panasonic. Two controllers, no video cable (but it's not proprietary). No games, but when I powered it on there was a copy of Star Control II in the drive. I have no idea what I'm going to do with it; it'll probably sit on the shelf with my other unused "because they were there" system purchases. If anyone wants it, I'll accept a reasonable offer.

MFoolsRun Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 (edited) Sweet that's the one I've been looking for. How much do you think would be a fair price to you? I really have no idea. Digitpress says it's worth around $40 complete. This is loose with controllers. Star Control II is listed at $35 complete, this one's loose. Wanna make me an offer under those prices (plus shipping)?

I'm actually interested in the console not the game. It's say $40 sounds good if it comes with controllers and power adapter. I already have a spare S-Video cable so I'm set with that. How does it look cosmetically? Are there any major scratches or is it just dirty (i'm guessing it is because you said it was from Goodwill ).

I'll probably throw it in anyway --what am I gonna do with it? $40 sounds great. I'll clean the system up (haven't yet) and snap some photos tonight or tomorrow. I'll PM you.

SnapCraft Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Alright thanks! Stitch, did you get the Intellivision yet? For someone younger and who has a Gemini, I'm sure you'll be able to appreciate the quirkiness of an Intellivision. Never mind what you have heard about the controllers, they aren't that bad. Some actually prefer them . (Hey, at least they are better than the 5200's) Besides, getting a brand "new" system brings that special Christmas feeling. Sure you can experience it with a "new" game here and there, but something about a whole "new" system... (preferably boxed, eh?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
