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?"

RVG Pick Ups

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.
