Yeah, those are probably pretty dirty and my Super Nt is really picky about dirty carts. My SFC can be somewhat picky as well, but the cart slot in that thing is incredibly filthy since I never bothered to clean it after I got it. Basically anything that goes into it needs to be cleaned instantly. I should probably clean the thing...

Not only dirty, but abused to the point that the button cell battery in several of these came loose and was rattling around inside the carts 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/233754-what-did-you-buy-today/page/118/#findComment-4899173 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how much abuse you'd need to get them to come off like that. Good thing those are relatively easy to replace from what I have heard. I am not sure if there's anything on one of those PCBs that could be damaged by a loose battery, now that I think about it.

I am not sure if there's anything on one of those PCBs that could be damaged by a loose battery, now that I think about it. So far, everything seems to work after a good cleaning. Those batteries are spot welded to the connectors. I have no idea what they would've done to these carts to actually break them loose. 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/233754-what-did-you-buy-today/page/118/#findComment-4899189 Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Neon Wraith Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 XBox and PS2 is pretty cheap right now. I got a box of 30 PS2 games for $60, an XBox for $30 with four controllers and four games. I also bought a box lot of 2 PS2s, and an XBox 360 with controllers and about 10 games for each system for $100. Tons of gaming pleasure there. 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/233754-what-did-you-buy-today/page/118/#findComment-4901063 Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainBreakout Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 I got this... I got it in the mail a couple of days ago, just to be honest. Yay! I'm back to buying weird retro stuff now and then! (Divorce is a bitch! -but it does get better.) My 6-year-old son played the tape and had some trouble following it with the book the first time. The next day he got up early, rewound the tape and played it and pretty much followed it all the way through. Tron. A cheesier story has seldom been told. I still love it tho. The best moment was at the end when the narrator excitedly said, "If you want to hear the story again, just turn the tape over!" My son replied out loud, "No, thank you." Good manners, that kid. 5 2 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/233754-what-did-you-buy-today/page/118/#findComment-4901624 Share on other sites More sharing options...

(heh) Sorry I couldn't find a more relaxed sort of meme... lol yeah, I need to get around to it. I have never really used my SFC since I got my Super Nt 2 years ago, though. Anyway, Sonic Colors: Ultimate 30th anniversary thingy showed up today. I feel like I've said happy birthday to Sonic like 6 trillion times over the past few months and this is the final time since this is basically the official 30th anniversary game, I guess, even though the release is several months too late for that. Still, this is close as it will get and I would have preferred PC, but I wanted a physical copy since this is his 30th anniversary game-ish thing, so PS4 it is. I've never played the original Sonic Colors since it was a 3D Sonic game released at a time when 3D Sonic = bad, but I have been wanting to play it for a few years now since I'd heard it was good, so I bought this. After 30 186 minutes playing it, my impression is... this game exists. It's okay. That's about all I have to say about it. is actually pretty nice. I've played better games and better Sonic games, but I think I like this game overall and I think I might even slightly prefer it over Sonic Generations, but I'll need more time with both to decide. The game crashed one time, but I didn't lose anything, so no big deal, I suppose.

DragonGrafx-16 Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 Found this at my local game store... great game. I just wish it had more than 3 credits. I'm spoiled that many PC Engine shmups have infinite continues. I also forgot that I had bought Crystalis last month... 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/233754-what-did-you-buy-today/page/118/#findComment-4903180 Share on other sites More sharing options...

rcamp48 Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 (edited) Here is my system that I am getting on Tuesday this week coming, I am getting a 130xe , a 1050 Happy drive , 150 disks , 6 cartridges, and a bunch of joysticks. I got them all for free, I just had to pay $55.00 Canadian for shipping , bonus : Both the 130 XE and the 1050 disk drive have their original boxes. The guy I got them from was really nice , had not used them in 30 years , and was glad to give them a good home. I am curious as to what the two switches are on the 130 XE in the first picture , could be a Bitwriter and an Omnimon device. Those switches may cause problems with my Fujinet, (which I get about 3 weeks ago).
