I've got an Action Replay clone from Lik-Sang for my Saturn. http://www.lik-sang.com/info.php?category=...roducts_id=100& I could do with doing an order from them again if you want to split postage.

chadtower Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 Shadows of the Empire is on my to do list, one of the games I'm looking forward to soon. Right behind finishing Paper Mario and working through Resident Evil (I'm new to relatively recent games). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveW Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 Ugh. I went on another thrift store spree today, and found almost nothing. 3 Atari compatible joysticks, a pair of Gemini paddle controllers, and Sewer Shark and Microcosm for the Sega CD. I'm not sure I can muster up the enthusiasm to keep looking for games and consoles in thrift stores, because I never find anything. It just seems pointless. It's as if someone goes out on a regular basis and wipes all the stores clean of anything videogame related before I get there. I can find overpriced Xbox and PS2 gear in pawn shops, but I can't find a freakin' thing in thrifts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krisjohn Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 Sources are really drying up. I'm pushed to find anything earlier than the SMS or the NES even at the state's biggest swapmeets. Few Thrift/charity stores are interested in anything electrical due to what's typically described as an insurance crisis. While pawnbrokers do have some stuff, few go back any further than the SNES. There are now several active individual dealers in old video games. Their prices are typically eBay prices, yet they rarely have anything truely worthy of those prices. I wonder how much stuff they get to before I have a chance. Similarly, I wonder if they're telling people that there's no value in the old interesting stuff. Oh, and lastly, swapmeets have an entry time for sellers, then later an entry time for buyers. Waiting outside the last big swapmeet I saw someone I recognised who was only a buyer wandering around at least 20 minutes before we were all allowed in there. As it happened, people were still unpacking when we left, but he still shouldn't have been in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeV0 Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 Simple Boycott Ebay, The dealers read these pages. Particularly here in OZ, How many times have your read "Atariage rates it as??" Seriously, alot of ebay sellers have cut their regular prices from people not buying from them. Check ebay aus for a good laugh. Notice the sales with no bids that have been doing the rounds for weeks,,,,,,,, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krisjohn Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 I picked up an Atari 2600 collection from a charity store. Some guy asked for it to be held until 11am. 11am came and went, so I got: * A 2600, power supply and three joysticks (Woo and/or Hoo.) * Kangaroo (already used in the GreetingCart compo) * Asteroids * Centipede * Ms. Pac-Man * Hero * Dodge 'Em * Swordquest: Earthworld * River Raid * Combat * Space Invaders x2 * Breakout * Q*Bert * Hot Action Pak * Frogger * Chopper Command x2 * Mouse Trap * Sports Action Pak * Stampede * Keystone Kapers * Ghost Manor/Spikes Peak * Robin Hood/Sir Lancelot They wouldn't separate any games. If it hadn't been a charity shop I wouldn't have paid the A$50 they were asking, but I wanted the Kangaroo cart for the compo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeV0 Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 House of the dead 2 which also had marvel VS capcom in the disc case, Nice score for $7!

Jasoco Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 Lucky you. I got that game today, House of the Dead 2 for $10 but no extra disc. And I spent another $15 just for a gun which seems to be aiming to the left. Or am I using it wrong? Interact Light Gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoOchan! Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 Chris, I'd have to Disagree with you on what you said about the Swapmeets. My local swapmeet (Centro Warwick) is normally fairly good, cause you can go in real early. Yes, Karrinyup is closed for Xmas, but I still found something predating SMS/NES Today. Atari 2600 6 Switch /w 10 Games, etc: AU$10 I'd say this year on whole has been way better then last year, swapmeet wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive gotta say ive always had probs with the original DC gun, its not good to hear that a 3rd party isnt very good. And i think of how excellent the saturn gun is. $10 is still a great score Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exept I like the build and weight of the Saturn gun better. @Jasoco, HOTD2 has a gun configuration screen so it's a good idea to use that If it's physicaly shooting left theres not much you can do. Of course you could just be a bad aim :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeV0 Posted December 15, 2003 Share Posted December 15, 2003 What are the chances of a guncon working with a DC to PSX adapter?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krisjohn Posted December 15, 2003 Share Posted December 15, 2003 What are the chances of a guncon working with a DC to PSX adapter?? If you're referring to using a DC gun on a PSX, it won't work. The DC controller port includes video timing information, but the PSX's doesn't -- PSX guns need to be patched into the video cable between the deck and the TV.

Actually i meant using a guncon on a dc. I bought the japanes release of HOTD2 with the gun early in production, Maybe the gun got better??
