high voltage Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Sold my Iron Maiden tickets bought Bob Dylan tickets instead Reason? See the dates on tickets, we can't be at two concerts at the same time. Both are great artists, and my friend hasn't seen either, being a fan of both. I've seen Dylan in London 1987 (with Tom Petty), so I would've preferred Maiden. But Iron Maiden we can see next year, as for Bob Dylan, who knows. Best to see him now really. She's excited anyways, so I made a girl happy, either way!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be happy just buying an album or two of his and going to the Iron Maiden concert. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simbalion Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Well, since it was already out and out of stock at the stores already, I bought my Intellivision Super Pro System and some decent, boxed games instead. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S1500 Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 I'm pondering pulling the trigger and buying the Famicom mini here. It's available(in most stores) for 70 bucks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keatah Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 We bought the ATGames atari portables at a good price. They were available, the NES-mini was not. We're not ones to chase after artificial scarcity and all that hype. It was a no-brainer 2-minute discussion and decision. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keepdreamin Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 (edited) I bought some hypoid gear oil, ATF, and 5 qts of Mobil 1 + filter and crush washers. Edited December 24, 2016 by keepdreamin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really, what kind of stores? Independent gaming stores or something? Don't see regular retailers stocking that... and there's so many extra Famicoms from Japan, etc. that they're importing them here, huh? Must not be as popular everywhere else.

SiLic0ne t0aD Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 Instead of the NES mini, I bought myself a few new homebrews for ColecoVision, Intellivision and Vectrex.. that should keep me occupied for a while! I also picked up a Raspberry Pi 3, just need to buy the controller adapter and get the software setup.. It'll all be going into an Intellivision FB case to make an Ultimate Flashback. I'll have all my favorite systems, ROM sets, XBMC and a few other goodies on there.. The NES mini just can't compete with that. I do plan to get one eventually but probably for the shell mostly, which I'll probably just stick another Pi in. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andromeda Stardust Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 Well that was fun. I just unboxed my Namco Plug-and-play 35th Anniversary Edition (gift to myself - yeah some of us gamers do that... ) and had a great time with it. Review here: http://atariage.com/forums/topic/226948-ban-dai-pac-man-plug-n-play-system/?p=3656981 Anyway I bought it back in September on Amazon and I believe it cost me a grand total $18.

Sankyo/Nakamichi/Kyocera of the 70's & 80's... people who think cassettes suck, clearly have never heard them through nicer decks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sankyo/Nakamichi/Kyocera of the 70's & 80's... people who think cassettes suck, clearly have never heard them through nicer decks. The nice thing is because it's a direct drive unit, I didn't have to replace any belts. Its not outside of my abilities, but meh. It was a $10 purchase at Goodwill of all places and was in nearly perfect condition. I was pleasntly surprised. The Goodwill by me are usually heavily picked over. I picked up a few cassettes as well... nothing great tho. And yes, tapes do sound surprisingly good if you're expecting only hiss and warble sound. My experience with them is limited to a cheap tape player I had as a kid in the late 80s and early 90s. We didn't have good stereo equipment in my house as a kid. I've been getting into vintage stereo gear as of late. I also picked up a pair of Koss Pro 4/AAs at the same Goodwill a week earlier. A couple bucks but they were broken. A call to Koss and they replaced the things. Wonderful headset. Great company. Probably the best two thrift finds I've had all year.
