Desfeek Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Thanks! I missed out on Cebus' Nomad, but still got a few things from his thread. The Phantasy Star II is pristine, and the hintbook is a fun retro read. I will beat this game (when I have time) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DickNixonArisen Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 mk2, road rash GEN - 3.99 ea two GCN extender cables 2.99 ea FF12 PS2 2.99 the real prize for me was a heartquest book I was missing... cheesy for-girls spinoff of the DnD-licensed choose-your-owny "endless quest" series, which I collect for, along with most fantasy gamebooks. Can never find the covers intact, though... they all have one of those punched hole window covers, and it invariably rips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbee99 Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Found an iMac with keyboard at the Flea Market today. I knew it was there though. He was asking $25 and I got it for $15. Good deal? IDK but I've been wanting an older Mac. It boots to desk top but I cannot go any further right now. It only has 2 USB slots, one for the keyboard, and one for the mouse. Wouyld you beleive I do not have a single USB mouse in the house?!?! They're all PS/2 or 9 Pins. Guess I will have to wait a day or two to play with it. I've gotta clean her up a bit anyway. Look at those lovely hearts on it, not to mention it's nasty as hell anyway. B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+FujiSkunk Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Not a video game find, but a nice haul nonetheless. For a classic rock fan, my CD collection has been pitifully lacking in Queen CDs, sporting only the 2-disc greatest hits compilation. That changed on Saturday when I found six of their original albums plus 1995's Made in Heaven, all for a $1.25 a pop. They're the 1991 remasters, too. I'm happy. Now I just need to find a similar deal on the rest of the catalog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just love that people are dumping all their CDs after they rip them to ipods. The best part is that most are going for $1 or less! And that's with cases and liner notes.

SRGilbert Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Been pretty lazy posting my yard sale finds lately. I need to keep up on it, it helps me to have a record so I see that it's still worthwhile. Lets see: This past weekend. Xbox 360 Beatles Rockband Hofner Bass and a Mic with stand - $15 it also came with a PS2 RB usb adapter. CIB SNES controller - $2 At a pawn shop, saw a box behind the counter with a bunch of carts, so I asked if I could take a look. Was amazed to see a number of Colecovision carts! Picked up: Miner 2049er Mr. Do Tele Turtle also 2600 - Peter Rose Baseball N64 - Iggy's Reckin' Balls N64 - Chameleon Twist Got the lot for $26, not great, but not bad for a pawn. Last week I found a dirty N64 set with a bunch of decent games for $20 and a NES Powerpad for $1.50, can't say what games are in the N64 set though, it's been sitting out in the garage airing out the smoke smell.

skosh Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Stopped by Goodwill today and started browsing the new items and saw a small pile of NES / Genisis / N64 / gameboy carts. Before looking I thought if there is going to be something interesting then perhaps I'd pickup a few carts as they typically are $2.99 or more regardless of system. Not sure why I bothered to check but glad that I did as it turns out that they were all $0.59 and I grabbed them all. Time to try out a few of these tonight. Genisis - Sonic , Sonic 2, Sonic 3d Blast, Aladdin, Toy Story, The Lion King, Jurassic Park, Jungle Strike, Game Genie, Mortal Combat II boxed no manual N64 - WF No Mercy Gameboy - UNO, Madden 97 NES - Tetris, Life Force, Marble Madness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had one in good working condition that I picked up at a yard sale for $10. I grew frustrated because no modern web browsers worked with Mac OS 10 (or whatever it was called). I ended up giving it to a local Goodwill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ended up giving it to a local Goodwill. I've already killed this one unfortunately. I had it working just fine with the Ethernet cable but the only web browser I could find on it that would work was IE v4.0. Needless to say, v4.0 cannot view most web pages of today. As I was cleaning up the HD (there was a TON of .wav file absorbing most of the 6GB HD) to make room for the new stuff/updates I wanted to do to the machine, I must have deleted a system fill Now I can't get it back to desktop. Oops. It was fun while it lasted. I have a cheap copy of Mac OS 8 on the way so I can keep killing it over and over lol. Unfortunately, the G3's are not worth much. Being from a time where they are now to slow to do much, and too new to be sought after. I knew this going into it though. I just wanted a new toy to play with. I've never own a Mac outside of the wife's new MacBook Pro. I thought this would be a good introduction. B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+thegoldenband Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 iCab used to be the best browser for Mac OS Classic (pre-OS X), but I think they stopped development of the Classic branch 5-6 years ago. There was also a fork of Mozilla for OS 9 whose name I can't remember, which was worked on for a while, but I'm not sure of the status of that either -- Low End Mac would be one place to check. iMacs are nifty machines, and can run almost all of the Mac OS library (from before OS X, anyway). They can do OK on the web if you adjust your expectations accordingly: no Flash, no significant CSS, and no Web 2.0. I really liked the text-only browser WannaBe, which is really handy for when you've got a horrible wireless connection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
