BeerGnome Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 Man.. I wish every hunt could be like this! I havent researched any of the carts that I got.. but I managed to come home with two grab bags of A26 games and a couple of just floating around games so all in all this hord was 24 carts in tottal! of course the loose ones were all horribly over priced but check it out: Bowling x2 gunslinger/outlaw.. one of each Pacman ( of course ) Defender Freeway Missle comand Journey Escape kangaroo Frogger Moon patrol Mario Bros. Smurf, escape from gargamels castle Atlantis Alien Home run Super breakout Basic programing ( now I'll have to find some of them touchpads) Oh! Gyrus! that blew me away when I plugged it in the soundtrack is great! Brain Games and a Burger time.. do these all come in that converted Intelivision cart? I also picked up a copy of Batman Forever for the Harpies Super Nintendo everything came in under $40 a think it was a good find.. it defintly bossted my collection now to check the guide to see if anythings a crazy rarity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaManFan Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 Congratulations. Good haul days always give you that warm fuzzy feeling in your collector's soul. Here's one to make you feel smug - I have 560 Atari carts and I +still+ don't own Gyruss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad2600 Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 Great find BeerGnome! I doubt that I'll come across any more Atari stuff in this area for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgler Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 It's weird, but I did the flea market thing this weekend and got a handfull of carts, Freeway, Oink, DK Junior, etc... Anyhow, on my way out of the last place I went to I dug through a bin and found Gyruss which I happily paid $3 for! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeerGnome Posted August 6, 2003 Author Share Posted August 6, 2003 oh I'm having such a blast playing Gyrus I can't belive the music score in the game the graphics are to be expected but arcade to atari.. its a really nice port if its any consilation Mega.. the label is peeling and really.. I can see Kiss having thier own game ( do they) but... JOURNEY!?! hell .. they played a free show here in town last week.. maybe we can re -write the code so you score by running INTO the groupies, roadies and paparazi?

Brad2600 Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 You can fix the Gyruss label with a glue stick. Parker Brothers carts are notorious for falling off. I have to deal with it every once in a while. Good find overall. If you haven't seen any of my threads on thrift finds, then you could. I found so much good stuff this past weekend.

BeerGnome Posted August 6, 2003 Author Share Posted August 6, 2003 well.. over all it was a great day for "stuff" I went out to funcoland in search of more sega arcade controllers and came back with a twently doller N64 instead. I found a 1985 German sportsclub octoberfest Mug 1985.. there are now 6 in my collection.. these guys are only made for richmond.. and they only make 5000 a year.. and they've been doing it since the early seventies.. being the beer hound, and half german.. and a proud Richmond native.. these are gold mines.. I found this mug sitting beside the toilet in the back of the antique store my girlfreind works out buried under a mess of debree I can only imagine how many times Ive sat there on that toilet with that damn thing an inch from my foot. I also got fifteen more Homies for that collection and collectivly me and the girl acquired the most GOD AWFUL tacky lamp you can imagine I only wish I had a digital camera for this one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad2600 Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 Do you have any idea if beer steins are worth anything? I've got a sweet porcelain one of Adolphus Busch. It was released by Budweiser and isn't too old. I was just wondering if it would ever be worth anything. I got it free from where I work, which happens to be a distributor of Bud products and soda.

Stiens are very collectable.. particualry if they are old and german. I need to see a picture of this.. is this a character stien? as in you say adolphus bucsh.. does this stien look like yer drinking a barely pop out of the mans hollowed out skull? ( great visual Eh!? ) considering it is of a maor manufacturer helps and hurts.. the big boys pump out ass loads of memorbilia but AB has done this for eons.. and a lot of memorbila that is the most saught after were distributer give aways to custimers.. as in bar owners and distribution houses.. so.. if this IS a pice of memerobila that was only made in limited numbers and ONLY made as give aways to distributors such as the company you work for.. you might well indeed have something of value on your hands. sounds like a creative search is called for on Ebay.. try Breweriana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheldon Sims Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 I just ordered a pair of keyboard controllers from these guys: http://www.best-electronics-ca.com/ I didn't feel like fighting over them on eBay (for a change). I also ordered a reconditioned Atari Lynx (it looks and plays like a brand-spanking new one), and a CX-80 trackball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeerGnome Posted August 6, 2003 Author Share Posted August 6, 2003 is it This one? Adulphus Busch stien if it is.. the bidding has just started on this item.. and it might be interesting to see what it does Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad2600 Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 Yep, that's the one. Thanks for the link. I just covered it with tissue and put it in a safe place away from reach. I'm keeping my eyes out at work to see if they give us anything else. I got a whole bunch of pint glasses with beer logos on them. They recently discontinued the Doc Otis label so it's now known as Doc's. I have a Doc Otis pint glass that is in good shape along with some others from local breweries.

BeerGnome Posted August 6, 2003 Author Share Posted August 6, 2003 see.. now yer giving me a bad Idea.. start collecting printed glasses from defunct breweries a lot of the problem with some of the little guys is they spend to much time and energery promoting the product then they do on the product itself hell.. Legend didnt start embossing glasses till last year.. pretty much after we got the big local market share and was able to crank out a scale of bottles that would meet expanded market demand including being sold at TWO large scale Grocery store chains.. hmm.. defeunct brewery glasses. like.. little second place trophies..

Brad2600 Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 That's my fault dude. Sorry there. I'm continuing this conversation in PM with BeerGnome anyway. So anyway, did anyone else find anything good today? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeerGnome Posted August 6, 2003 Author Share Posted August 6, 2003 It's weird thst this thread is now about beer steins eeh.. I think were all pack rats to some degree or another around here vintage games is an extension of my fasination for antiquated computers and hardware. but the consoles and games is the number one collection for me at the moment.. this is one of the dangers of being intimatly attached to a vintage clothing and antiques store.. just so much coll shit comes thru Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgler Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 Hey wait, I just remebered I have a Star Wars beer stein in a box! I'm gonna bust it out and fill her up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
