What did you buy today?.........


Recommended Posts

I've had two Atari 2600 scores in the last month.

First I picked up a junior plus a tonne of games including some Zellers bootlegs for $100 CAD
And today also for $100 CAD I got a light-sixer, a Vader, more games and a Basic cartridge along with the keyboards and overlays

Nice!  I love Zellers!  I love my Time Warp! ☺️

 

Ok... So my garage looks like this now.

The garage had no arcade games in it yesterday. Now it has four 

 

I only own one of these machines (the rest are nebulously owned), but yeah... I'm almost ready to bring on the Tears for Fears and Oingo Boingo and announce a retro time warp zone.

 

Oh and here's a photo of the same thing in high and low tones. Have fun with it in Photoshop if you like

Bought a homebrew Power Base Converter and Choplifter because Master Systems and official converters are too expensive these days.

How much did you pay? Cause I paid less for my PBC converter than many of my games. $60

Recently traded with @McCallister for a boxed Galaxian and a whole bunch of manuals and catalogs. I already had a CIB Galaxian but it was the 88 release and I really wanted the original 83 version that came with the comic. The SNES game and D&D book were from a local game store.

Another thing I didn’t know I needed. 🤪 People making me spend money…

Hobby Lobby, waaaay cheaper than anywhere else. Plus they have cool game room signs.

I'll replace the switch next time I get to the hardware store.

Got mine yesterday. Went on a spree and have Frogger and Ms. PAC-Man coming for the other 2 plates as well. Damn you BP… 🤣

Nice, I really like the arcade sign.

I also got one of these too. It's still sealed until I'm ready to install it next week, but here's the stock pic:

It's double-sided, 3D, and it lights up. I'm probably going to mod it with a uC and some LEDs, not sure though.

Follow-up pictures when it's up.

 

My awesome girlfriend got both of these for me.

Not that I see, but I might be convinced to make you one using a printable water transfer.

Galaga was going to be Hobby Lobby but I went eBay(+$1.50) because I'm lazy and they only had that one plate I was interested in. I bought 3 plates from this seller : https://www.ebay.com/itm/125919956962?var=426870673546

 

Cost me about $10 each which I was ok with since HL didn't have anything else I wanted. I got Frogger, Ms. Pac-Man and (I forgot earlier) Space Invaders. I don't see an Asteroids though. I'd be interested in one as well if you end up doing one @bent_pin. :)

I was going to do that a few years ago. It's just too big for where I would mount it. I absolutely LOVE the sign though and still want one!
