SteveW Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 Found some nice stuff today. I found a Phillips CD-i Player, two Sega Saturn games (Myst and NBA Jam), Atari 400/800 games Dig Dug, Galaxian, and Pole Position, a Tiger R-Zone with Virtua Fighter (one of the lamest portable systems i've ever seen), and a new boxed copy of Super Pitfall for the NES (I picked this one up because of another thread on this forum stirring up some nostalgia for this game that most people hate). Grand total, about $50, unless you factor in the cost of having my tire patched after I ran over something in a thrift store parking lot, then it'd be $62. I also picked up an unopened CD of "Hal featurning Gillian Anderson", some freaky CD single with the actress from the X-Files doing a weird spoken word/rap type thing with a band called Hal. I remember reading a magazine article about it years ago, but I never bothered to find it out of curiosity. It's seriously strange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocko Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 a Tiger R-Zone with Virtua Fighter (one of the lamest portable systems i've ever seen) I bought One of those when they first came out, came with Indy 500, and I bought Daytona U.S.A. and Area 51. Still have it I think..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveW Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 I betcha you don't play it anymore, though.... It's such a cheezy piece of junk. But it's videogame related, and i'd never used one before, so I picked it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spongebue Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 You may have heard me talk about it in the tech forum, but I recently got a computer for $15 at the thrift Saturday. It has 333 MHz, 64mb RAM (now 96) and a 8 gb HD (added a 40, but that's temporary) and I am posting this on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockin' Kat Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 Last time I went to Goodwill I bought a bunch of SMS games at $3 each.... This time I got the following: For Genesis, boxed with manual at $2.99 each- Street Fighter II Mortal Kombat II Ms. Pac-man X-men...even had a cool poster in it. Two boxed 6-button Sega Genesis Arcade sticks that look like they have never been used... $3.99 each But the main reason I'm posting is this: Sega Saturn w/ two controllers, A/V cable, RF cable, power cable, and instruction manual for $9.99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krisjohn Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 I also picked up an unopened CD of "Hal featurning Gillian Anderson", some freaky CD single with the actress from the X-Files doing a weird spoken word/rap type thing with a band called Hal. I remember reading a magazine article about it years ago, but I never bothered to find it out of curiosity. It's seriously strange. I love that CD, bought one when it was new. Songs are loaded on my iPod. The history was that she was narrating a TV series (FUture Fantastic) that HAL was doing the music for. They got talking and this single was the result. Have you ever seen the video clip? And hey, this is my 1,000th post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ussexplorer Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 Decided to hit the local slavation army. Something I have not done in a while. I did score a boxed sega master system. The box is in pretty bad shape but the system worked just fine. Anway, I spotted out of the corner of my eye what I thought was one of the newer c64 unit all white. Instead it was a c128 and two disk drives. one of the newere 1541D drives and the older version. No power brick though. Then I saw the price and died. $50.00 dollars. No monitor, No dust cover, no software, and no way was I going to pick it up. On the other hand I did locate software. Most was on another shelf for .75 cents a pop. Since I don't have any commadore stuff anway. I saw no need to pickup games. This did however, have a sega genesis and games that just came in. They was not priced yet so I was going to go back at the end of the week. As for another more expensive find but I guess okay. Savers had two genesis games for a crazy 4.99 each. One was star trek and the other was Taz. The taz came with box but not instructions. I don't really mind paying 4.99 for a cart with box and especially with instructions but I still kinda wondering if I should have just passed up the star trek game. laters......

donkeykong1 Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 I would have passed it up (star trek) I try to pay 3 bucks for those games. Today I found a few Nes games at the thrift store for 2 bucks each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeV0 Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 A celeron 400 for $2, just the p2 mobo with the celle adaptor, 128mb, builtin video/sound etc. It all works and is sitting in a casing from an old venturis. Decent 2nd machine for my other half whom is special at the best of times,,,,,, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ussexplorer Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 Passed up another c128 at a different thrift store for $2.00 stacked in with the keyboards. No power supply or anything else. So I would have least needed to find the power supply. DRives seem to come in enough. Laters.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The built-in transformer makes it a heavy bugger to post, but I'm up for a swap. If there's any ST software you're after I could do an inventory and a bit of a test.
