+thegoldenband Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Speaking of a dollar each... Snagged these today at the local Savers for $1 each. All complete. After I got home I checked the going prices for these games complete on eBay (just curious, I only dabble in SMS collecting). $204. Couldn't price Zillion cause there isn't a complete one with a BIN price. Very nice! But $204 sounds high to me unless you're looking at active BINs, which is usually the wrong way to go -- sold listings are where it's at. I'd put the lot somewhere between $100-150. Most are common games in the $8-10 range, but Galaxy Force is indeed the jewel, at more like $30. Either way, though, $1 a game is beyond a steal, so congrats. I've already been thinking about getting an ED, but I'm not sure if I'd have buyers' remorse if I got the EverDrive-MD instead of paying twice as much for the Mega EverDrive...it also doesn't say if it supports SG-1000 ROMs or not. Sort of a non-issue, because the Genesis itself doesn't support SG-1000 ROMs -- or more correctly, it doesn't support the graphics mode they use. The games will (probably) boot, but you won't be able to see anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asaki Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Yeah, I discovered that after doing a bit of reading on the forums. It says even on the SMS, SG-1000 support was a bit spotty. Thanks, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess Ragan Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Who would even want to play SG-1000 games? The system is like an MSX for gamers who were intimidated by that machine's raw power. Annnyway. I'm thinking of doing a little dumpster diving for laptops, as I know at least two people who could use some. There's a recycling event going on in the merry old land of Nogales; is that a good place to score old electronics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One could say much the same of the ColecoVision, since the hardware is practically identical! The SG-1000 library is patchy but it occasionally punches above its weight, and games like Ninja Princess and Girl's Garden have their charm. Once in a while it even eats the NES's lunch -- its ports of Elevator Action and Chack'n Pop are superior to the Famicom versions, the latter vastly so (it beats the MSX version too). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asaki Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Who would even want to play SG-1000 games? I like some of them, I have an emulator on my DS. I kind of like the SG version of Bank Panic a little better than the SMS (which has weird graphics), and I think I might have liked the SG version of Choplifter (or did I like the Colecovision version better?). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7800fan Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Found some Atari games along with Sears II system (one that looks like mini 7800). The controller and most of the games worked fine. Paid only $25. One game however does not work on my TV. One TV keeps reporting no signal. Another (older) TV rolls a lot. No manual V-hold to check it out. It's a shame I got a dud considering I have not seen a blue 2600 cart before or one that has unusual handle on the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disrupture Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Got a Vtech Learning Window yesterday, boxed, with a boxed Voice cartridge, power supply and boxed "alphabet soup" program. Paid 10$. Not a steal but I think this little machine looks great. Will look good next to my boxed Sears Talking Computron ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnapCraft Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Coleco Gemini (2 Gemini controllers, AC) -- $7 (Missing Y cable for the paddles) >>Boxed<< Virtual Boy Mario's Tennis -- $2. Kept staring at this asking myself "Do I really want another Mario's Tennis?" It hit me a few moments later when I saw the For Display Only on the box. Box is crunched on one side.

7800fan Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 AFAIK Mario Tennis was never available with regular box since they were pack in game, and VB system was never sold new without tennis game. The display only box is the only proper box for Mario's Tennis and I've seen them fetch good price even just for empty box. Good steal at $2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7800fan Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 I found a couple odd cables at Goodwill today. One is a Playstation multi-video to composite + audio cable that is about 8" long. Only eight inches. I suspect it was originally for PS2 with LCD module. All of PSOne LCD were direct connect and I have never seen official LCD module for older PSX. The second one is giving me trouble. It also has Playstation multi-video connector but it comes to 6 RCA plugs: blue, green, 2 red, white, and yellow. The one red, white, and yellow works for composite but I can't figure out the green, blue, and red plug. It is not component for sure, PSOne and PS2 gave me TV "no signal" error. I thought it may be RGB? The only old school RGB is my Commodore monitor with 9 pin D sub connector so I'd need to hack a rig to plug that in and check with both PSOne and PS2.

Asaki Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Could be component, I know for PS2 (which takes the same cables AFAIK) I had to go into the options and figure out which of the two options was required to get it to work. PSX doesn't even have any option for anything like that, does it support component? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have to recheck my PS2 for the setting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asaki Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Oh, I must have misread when you said you already tested on PS2. Yeah, I remember there are two different options for component on PS2, and the one that sounds like the correct option actually isn't.

7800fan Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Ok not video game but still classic. Used to be my favorite TV show, I was floored when I saw a stack of new party hats, whole thing for 25 cents. No obvious fading so they were probably stored out of sunlight since someone's party 30 years ago. About 75 in that one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you know Silverhawks' main villian (and Mako from another old series) made a cameo on a recent series a few years ago?
