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.

Found an Ad on Craigslist for a Sega Saturn that I just couldn't pass up. I have been looking for one ever since the Midwest Gaming Classic where I got to play one for the first time.  I don't recall the game I played, only that it was a shoot em' up and that it was awesome. Growing up I was diffidently a Playstation guy so I never really  payed much attention to the Saturn. All I can remember about the console is going into the game store in the mall and noticing the long Saturn game boxes lined up on the shelves. Not sure why that memory sticks out in my head. Weird.

Looking forward to logging some quality time with this new edition to my game room, but before that can happen I need to find some games for it.  Which may be harder than it sounds because so far in my travels I haven't come across any Saturn games. So let the hunting begin.

Reader Question:

What games should I be looking for on the Sega Saturn? Let me know.

IT CAME FROM CRAIGS LIST!!!

Found an ad on Craigslist for a bunch of gaming stuff. A lot of empty N64 boxes and sports games, but he did have two working Dreamcast consoles. I got it all for just $25. I already have a few Dreamcast so I think I'll try to flip these Craigslist one on Ebay. I have been trying to thin out  my duplicate consoles and games. I'm saving up for a Neo Geo AES or CMVS, I haven't decided yet. I played an AES at the Video Game Summit a couple of months ago and have been wanted to get my hands on one ever since.

It Came From Craigslist

I spotted this collection of Sega swag on Craigslist about a month ago.  The seller was kind high on the price and wasn't willing to budge on it. So I figured if it's meant to be it will still be around in a couple of weeks. Maybe by that time the seller would realize that they had over priced the collection. It's always interesting to me to see people try to get rich off of old video games, because they think that all retro games are extremely rare and that some millionaire geek is pining for a boxed copy of Sonic The Hedgehog.

Anyway I was able to bring them down on the price and seal the deal. Just about everything has a box and a manual. The games are in great shape. I'm looking forward to checking out the Power Base.
