It Came From Craigslist!

For this edition of It Came From Craigslist I found a huge lot of Sega Genesis stuff. By far this is the largest amount of stuff I have acquired at one time. The lot came with a couple of Genesis systems,  a 32X, Sega Master System, and over 50+ games. Now I'll be honest with you guys, I for sure didn't need any more Genesis consoles. I already own a few spare systems. I didn't really get into collecting to turn a profit by reselling stuff. I figure I can at least past a few of these systems along for a couple of bucks and make enough to purchase something I really want.

The hardware I am the most happy about picking up is the 32X. Why? I guess it was just one of those things I wanted when I was a kid but never got. Also came with two 32X games, Doom and Star Wars, to start my new collection.

Picking up the Master System was also a big plus. The Master System is console I was totally unaware of until I started collecting retro games. The Master System came with three controllers, the light phaser, and a broken pair of 3D glasses. Growing up we had a NES and I was pretty young at that time so I guess I just missed it. Although I do vaguely remember seeing some Master System games at a department store. I remember the boxes, the simple white background with lines crossing and some sort of artwork on the front. I already have a power base converter with a like two games. So I have had the ability to play MS games but for whatever reason I like to try and play things on their original hardware. 

Along with the hardware came a nice bunch of cords and controllers.

My Genesis collection is really starting to become massive with these new editions. A ton of cool stuff here with a few duplicates of games I already own. Lots of stuff that I have never played here so it should be fun trying them out. I just started a Twitch TV channel http://www.twitch.tv/badretroblog# where I plan on posting some videos of me playing through the games. I'm still working out the bugs with my broadcasting setup so I apologize for any problems with the videos. 

 

Mutant League Hockey!

 

Lots of sports games.... Yea.

Retro Video Game Pick Ups

So today my oldest son and I went game hunting at a few of the local Flea Markets. I picked up two Nintendo games Pac-Man and Sky Shark. I'm interested in digging into Sky Shark which I guess is a vertical shoot em' up. I love shmups so hopefully this it's a fun one. Pac-Man has always been one of those games I could play and have a good time even though I'm not to good at it. Not much else I can say about Pac-Man except that it's Pac-Man on the NES. 

Also picked up two PlayStation one games Die Hard Trilogy and Tekken II. I owned both of these games when I was a kid but like all my old games back in the day I ended up (regretfull now) trading them in. Anyways, we played the crap out of Tekken II when I was a kid (love this game). I was excited to add it back into my collection. Although it didn't come with the original case and manual I was more then happy to play the $1 the lady wanted for it. I can't remember much about Die Hard Trilogy except that I used to like it and thought it was fun. I guess we will see how it has held up compared to my memories of the game. All in all it was a pretty nice day. I ended up seeing a lot of cool things and I met some nice folks.

They might want to be a little more flexible on his price. Just a suggestion.

Are You Kidding Me?

This guy's 2600 must have been made with gold components or something. 

Are You Kidding Me?

So like most retro game collectors I'm always on the lookout for a good deal. I understand that somethings cost more do to rarity or demand and am willing to pay more for an items when it's a fair price. That's just the way it goes, but more often than not I run across ads for retro gaming items that are way over priced. The contents of this new feature on Retro-Blog is about the ads for retro gaming stuff that has me saying, "Are You Kidding Me?"

I started to find all the black box games for the NES. Got these guys at a local retro game store. I always find the Mario Bros. / Duck Hunt combo cart so I was surprised to find the individual ones. 

Also found some PlayStation long box games. PlayStation was a console I got for Christmas when I was kid. I spent many hours on it and have a ton of memories from those days. So when I came across these long box games at a garage sale today I knew I couldn't pass them up. Each one holds a special place in my heart, especially Wipeout. So now I'm actively looking for long box games to add to the collection. 

Now the find I was most excited about this weekend was the Guncon. Found it at the same garage sale as the long box games. I loved this light gun when I was a kid. I would spend many many hours playing Time Crisis with it. For whatever reason someone decided to buy just the game and not the gun the day before at the sale so the seller gave me the Guncon for half price. Just have to find Time Crisis and I'll be a happy camper.

Leftovers. My SNES collection is slowly growing and my NES collection is starting to become respectable with the addition of the beat'em classic of Double Dragon.
