Finds (All Others)

[Kiddo]

Nice find senseiman!  Like you, I have no way to test my finds of today. But that day will come! Hopefully for the both of us

But today I went to the goodwill store, like I do almost every month now. But this time I found something directly related to retro gaming stuff!


Found these Mega Drive games! Mostly sports games that I usually don't like, but they were cheap so I took them anyway. My Mega Drive console is missing it's AC adapter so I can't test these out until I find a replacement adaptor.


Also found these two PS1s, but no adapters or controllers came with them. Like the Mega Drive games, they were so cheap I couldn't resist.


And finally, a whole bunch of Sinclair Spectrum games. Now these were DIRT cheap, but I am really not sure why I took them since I'll probably never find a working Sinclair Spectrum computer or the will to play these games 
But the covers on the boxes alone make it all worth it, so much retro goodness!

Sorry for the lousy pic quality.

LOL, I know where you are coming from, Kiddo!  Even if you can't play them - a bargain is a bargain!

Those Spectrum games look great, I agree with you about the box art making it worth it.  I like the look of that A View to a Kill game.  A lot of people rate that as one of the worst Bond movies (and rightly so), but by coincidence it was also the first Bond movie I saw as a kid when it came out so I have a soft spot for it.  Nightgunner and Starstrike look cool too!

Three Game & Watches? Nice! Looks like that Octopus has taken a beating though. How are the Mario Bros. holding up?

[FamicomFreak]

Yeah they are all in ok condition well actually they all work believe it or not even the octopus one. I'm happy ^_^

[senseiman]

Yeah, nice finds with those Game and Watches, they look great!  I have that Mario Bros. one too, its a good one.  Now you have a back up just in case

[FamicomFreak]

Yeah definitely going to keep them so I can show off to my friends and be like I not only have a Mario Bros Game and Watch but I have two Mario Bros Game and Watch HAR HAR HAR!

Sega SG 1000 II, the predecessor to the predecessor to the Sega Master System.  Don`t know if my new console works or not yet, but I`m quite happy with the purchase anyway

Good find.

The tiny, nice-looking famiclone system that came out a few years ago, the Famulator, looks similar in design to the predecessor of your console, but using the Famicom colours of red and white with gold letters.

Ah, Elektronika. 

I think this brand is more well-known outside of eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union, for its digital watches.

Nu, pogodi!

Today I picked up a copy of Pacar for my SG-1000 II.

When I picked it off the shelf at the store, it was still sealed in its original box and packaging.  Then something surprising happened:

OH MY GOD! This is outrageous! This will probably make me want to scream at the seller for being incompetent dick! Personaly I wouldn't buy it after that... Sorry for your loss.

You would not be able to hold me responsible for whatever I do after committing such an act in front of me.
