DeV0 Posted April 4, 2003 Share Posted April 4, 2003 A box of C64 stuff today, Orignal model c64 which actually works, SID etc. Some music maker keyboard overlay and tape, boxed. A working disc drive (finally), hmm some tapes as well, An SNES at the bottom of the box. But my biggest find today was a book dated 1982 titled "Usborne Guide to Computer & video games". This is some seriously hilarious reading, I mean it constantly talks about the Future (ie Now) of video games looking like tv and so on. Alot of Atari comments and How to beat games from Atari. Explains hand helds, Arcade and computers, , This IS the 1982 version of "Highscore" I gotta blab but i love this quote, Remember, Dated 1982, Predicted within 10 years. "Hand held electronic games will still have liquid crystal displays, But they will probably be in full color and will be as detailed and realistic as the pictures for a TV programme today" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIG EARL Posted April 8, 2003 Share Posted April 8, 2003 Finally found some SNES games at a thrift. Paid $4.99 each but these are the first SNES carts I have found since buying my SNES console a few weeks back. The SNES carts are Super Mario World Super Tennis (Had this game with my original SNES, pretty good tennis game) Madden NFL '97 (They also had '94, '95 & '96, I decided that then newest one should be the best) Tru Golf Waialae Country Club I also picked up Ballon Fight for the NES for $2.99 I also found what appears to be an Atari "Wico Command Control" joystick its red and black, no model numbers or anything. Anybody know anything about these joysticks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gulag picture radio Posted April 11, 2003 Share Posted April 11, 2003 I found a couple of NES carts for $2.50... nothing remarkable enough for me to even remember, also a 4meg expansion pack for the N64 for .90, a Cybiko for $6 (hey, it plays games... right?) and the coolest thing is a Wataba SuperVision for $10. The SuperVision is a GameBoy clone, but it bends in the middle so you can play it on a tabletop. The single cart I got is about the same size as a Game Boy cart, but I doubt that they're compatible. It has the same kind of weird green LCD screen on it. Really, the only thing cool about it is that it looks like it's from Star Trek. I saw one last year at the Midwest Classic, and thought that it was really cool - though I'm sure the gameplay on it is less than stellar. I can't find any info about it on the net anywhere. Any leads? I also dug up 2600 Outlaw for $1 (a little steep if you asked me), an N64 adaptor for playing Japanese games for $4, and a Sega Saturn memory card for $15. I've heard some horror stories about usig non-Sega memory cards in the Saturn, and this one is by Interact. Hopefully it won't blow up my console, it's one of the few that I only have one of. And here it is... the weekend again. Good luck to us all as garage sale season rapidly approaches in the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christophero Sly Posted April 11, 2003 Share Posted April 11, 2003 Picked up fourteen 8-bit game disks yesterday, including "Leather Goddesses of Phobos" . Never had that one for my Apple II, and it wasn't included in the Activision collections. Nice to finally have it. Also picked up a dozen or so 2600 carts for $0.75 each. The best was Snoopy and the Red Baron. When I placed the 2600 carts on the check-out counter, the cashier exclaimed, "8-Tracks!". I just smiled and nodded. Needless to say, that is why I always look amongst the 8-track tapes when I hit a thrift store. Oh yeah, I also picked up Delta Drawing CIB for the 8-bits (thought it might be rare...Nope!) and what turned out to be a C64 cart, Retro Ball by HES. I thought it was an 8-bit cart too, until I got it home. I'd never seen a C64 cart before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
