Recent Purchases Thread att-str-max Fri Sep 6 01:50:41 2013 No.1051276 [Reply] [Original]

Can we get a recent purchases thread in here? I just exchanged my second n64 for this stuff. Left to right, it's Davis Cup Tennis, Warlock, Maximum Carnage, Madden NFL '94, NBA Jam, The Lion King, Wheel of Fortune, Caesars Palace, Monopoly, Vectorman. Not pictured, World Series Baseball and Sonic Spinball,

Got these two at the salvation army and red cross today for $6.

I found the PD box and manual and the cart in one spot and managed to track down the cartridge to a bargain bin at the front, and then found the battery clasp at the bottom of said bin. Was pretty pumped getting every piece after I had assumed some kid had just pinched it. Diggin the rumble-cart even though it's a pretty common game.

The 'twin calibre' big box was stacked at the red cross with the board games. Has some badass manuals and box art, and cd is in perfect nick.

Unfortunately my GB pocket won't play the Perfect Dark..

I'm thinking of trading F-zero for Mario Paint (because I don't have snes cords/controllers anyway) although I'm torn because the mouse isn't included

My purchases of the last week and a half.
>Top
Boxed Dreamcast (in before Not Retro). Not pictured: 7 common games I didn't have
>Top Left
Valis 3 and Sakura Wars Special Edition, also sealed Jungle Strike (however since EA used shitty plastic with tiny holes to seal it there's sticky gunk on the inside of the plastic)
>Middle
Sega Saturn lot I got on Ebay Not Pictured: Two stunners and two 3d controllers.
>Bottom Right
NES Games my friend traded to me for PS2 games

Is there any reason to own more than 2 Saturn 3d controllers? Are there any games that use both the multitap and 3d controller?

Just bought a chipped SEGA Saturn with an S-Video cable, 4 in 1 AR Cart and 3D controller.

I pick this guy for being about to have the most fun with his new stuff.

Personally, I just got areplacement laser for my X'Eye and have already beat Snatcher on CRT with a Justifier, just as God intended. Now working on Keio Flying Squadron and Popful Mail. Planning to work my way through all the exclusives I didn't play back in the day before I chip one of my Saturns. Here's a peak atmost of my domestic Saturn though. You can pretend I just found them at a dirt mall for$3 to $10 each if you want but most of them I've owned since the 90s.

Today I picked up two genesis games to start my genesis collection - which will be small considering how many other consoles I own - - -
Revenge of Shinobi
ESWAT: City under Siege

Basically I just want action run-n-guns and platformers for the Genesis, since I am not too in to Genesis shmups (when Saturn/DC are much better mostly) or other attempts at RPGs or sports what have you.

The store had Hard Corps, CV: Bloodlines, and Rocket Knight Adventures, but I passed on them because I didn't feel like spending $100+ on video-games.

Also Taito Legends so I can play all the fucking Rastan I ever want to play.

Just got back from a fairly successful day. Got a bunch of real shitty quality Genesis stuff for what seems like a reasonable price. However, I really just got it for the games, and even them most are in really terrible condition (Each one is afflicted with some combination of stickiness, water damage, and belt sander testing). Lots of good games, but I'll probably end up selling the consoles and trying to find replacements for the games (or at least some manuals). Call me a filthy reseller if you so desire.

For $40
>Dirty Genesis models 1 (not the good one), and 2
>Street Fighter 2, Toy Story, Vectorman 2, Arcade Classics, X-men, WWF Royal Rumble
Cart only but otherwise fine
>Sonic 1
Manual is frighteningly sticky
>Sonic 2, Mortal Combat, Family Feud, Castlevania Bloodlines
Cart only, and labels in abominable condition. The only thing legible on Bloodlines is the last "a" in Castlevania
>Boogerman, Toejam and Earl:PoF, Barkley: Shut up and Jam, Truxton

yeah not from europe though, they don't operate on retard exploitation.

I don't have one physical game. I figured I'll start hunting now even though by this point it feels too late and I'm at a stage at my life where I probably can't afford starting a collection but fuck that.

Where do you guys usually buy games? Any good website? Is Lukie Games a good website? How can I find out how much a game is worth before I buy it? Any tips?

On a side note, somebody tried to sell Super Mario/Duck to me for 15$. I then left, came back 45 minutes later, said I've thought about it, unhinged his table "on accident", and ran.

Let the market sort things out. If that guy never sells his common-ass game because it's overpriced, that's "punishment" in itself, and hopefully that person will learn. It's neither your duty nor your right to do things like that.

Well, I finally got time to open up my 2 genesis consoles I got last weekend for a bit of deep cleaning, and OH SHIT

Apparantly the model 2 here has been occupying a corner of an abandoned hobo shack with a leaky roof since 1995. Thankfully the board itself seems to be unscathed, though I did find half a dead bug underneath (likely dies of blast processing overdose). The case is currently soaking in soapy water, but I don't know what I can do about the metal shields.

Quick rinse and take a wire brush to it? Grind off the rust with a dremmel?

I didn't get a deal or anything, but I finally re-bought an SNES console.

The SNES I had before was pure white and mint. The one I bought now I got for cheap, but it is one of those cool ones with the mint look at the top and the entire bottom is discolored.

Looks kind of cool imo.

Didn't see this thread and posted in a dead one so reposting here...

Went to 2 flea markets in my town today.
For retro I got Chuck Rock and a Game Pack 4 in 1 for Game Gear 1 € each

BUT my best find was non retro : I found this little magical thing (pic related) : it's an adaptor that lets you use PS2 pads on a Gamecube (and also works on Wii as you can see)! Not only I had NEVER heard of this thing but the guy was only selling it for 1€, so that was an instant buy for me. A immediatly thought of Resident Evil REmake and 0 when I saw this thing since IMO playing those games with a d-pad (and especially with a Playstation pad) is MUCH better than with the GC pad.

Works perfect with no delay. Really happy about this.

I know what people have been saying about the PSX reissues of the two games but I was emulating V on PSXe and the menu screen loaded and unloaded in seconds, and saving only took a few seconds too. I'm not sure where people got the idea that it had abysmal loading times.

Bought those 3 N64 games for 15 bucks:
- Pilotwings 64, Indy Racing 2000 and Blast Corps
Only problem is those games were damn dirty (stickers, yellow-turning-to-brown in some parts, trails of adhesive tape) but now they look like new... kinda, since the labels are wasted.

It feels kinda amazing spending so little money in so many good stuff. Around the last 2 months, wasted just 30 bucks on a PS One and a Nintendo 64.

There was some guy selling his SNES (slighly modified for SFC games) in my country for like 15 bucks, but sadly he hasn't answered my e-mails. Maybe he already sold it.

The game has a slot where I assume you could purchase expansion packs or some such. There's a couple of games like this.

These two for $35.
That's about what they'd go for loose on eBay, but since both are boxed, I'd say I did okay.

NiGHTS had to be done. After missing a great deal on a Saturn with a bunch of games by mere seconds a few months back, I had to at least walk off with NiGHTS today.

Non-retro: Also bought another Dreamcast controller.

Yeah, they were made out of those little plastic tube things, some girl who made them herself was selling those. They have magnets and are now attached to my fridge. I wish I had bought more, they look great.

Batman and Shadowgate are both great, especially Batman was in amazing condition.

If all of those line up with your taste in games, nice. But at $2-3/pc. I'd personally probably pass on just about everything.

BTW, I almost ordered from them over the phone several times about a decade ago after they claimed to have some cool things in stock. Super-glad I didn't, based on universal confirmation of my suspicions about how shady their phone/internet business is. They and buyrite were somewhat notorious even by then.

I like to buy up all the cheap stuff and be surprised by the gems that I might have otherwise overlooked because it was something I wasn't familiar with. And if the game turns out to be something less than awesome, I just add it to the mass pile which in itself is cool to gaze at.

Does it have the AC adapter and AV cable?(Those are $10-15 apiece and the aftermarket ones are horrible)

Do the games have cases/manuals, and are there any decent games there?

These are all questions you should be asking. If you're getting a normal model 1 with no cables or only and RF adapter, and 29 sports tiles and Sonic 2, you're getting a terrible deal, and the effort needed to make your experience worthwhile will make it worse.

Got this today. Cost $3.50. Missed out on a super deal today because I didn't have enough dosh on me, but what can you do. He had a SNES, 2 NES, a Playstation, cords for all systems, but no controllers for SNES or Playstation. He had 3 long box PS1 games and 3 Jewel case games, A link to the past, some NES games, and 2 copies of 007 and a copy of perfect dark for N64. Wanted $50 for it.

2 flea markets. First one only had about 5 stands (duh...) even though at the same place last time there was about 150-200! Probably due to the rain...
A lady had PSX with a couple of shovelware games, a memory card and a pad. 10e. I only wanted the pad so no deal was made.

2nd one was bigger, barely any retro stuff. I got non retro an official PS2 pad for 2€ but turns out the thing doesn't work! I also got RE Darkside Chronicles for Wii 12€ which is at least 3€ less than it goes everywhere else and I was just looking to get it. ALthough I got that from an obvious reseller, I hesitated a very long time before buying a game from him and then I felt bad about it. Guy had some PS2 games in his car that he wouldn't even show me because he needed to "check the prices" first, fuck you man. He was also bragging about the good deals he made...

Got them all from a second hand place, the owner buys shit in cheap, and sells it for a profit.

Provided the capacitors are not blown, then this is a reasonable deal. Sonic 2, X-Men Mojo World and Power Rangers the Movie are all good games.

You can tell if the capacitor is blown if the screen is permanently dark, even on the highest setting, or the sound cuts out intermittently. The only cure is to replace the capacitors, but leaving the system on for 5-10 minutes will warm the system up and get the screen brighter and sound better temporarily.

went to the flea market yesterday.

got
Perfect Dark, Diddy Kong racing, and Shadows of the Empire for 10 bucks bundled
a shit ton of NES games (some guy was doing 3 for 5. only cool one was Ghosts n Goblins, everything else was filler)
Model 3 genesis for 5 bucks.
Some guy wanted 35 for a magnavox Odyssey in the box... but i had a few problems.
1. I didn't see a cable that connected it to the TV. this could have been cheap, but, being an NES collector mainly, I wanted to focus on that only.
2. I didn't know what was missing. It looks to have all the overlays and games, but I don't know EVERY odyysey game that came with the console, so, it would have been hard to tell.

hell, maybe it was still a good deal, since it had the box, but, I just couldn't do it.

also, found a complete NES with mario 2 for 25. cleaned it up and gave it to a friend who had been wanting an NES

this past weekend's pickups are nonretro (pic related), but i do have a /vr/ related anecdote:

I came across a reseller booth at the flea market that fit the reseller stereotype 100% this weekend. They had rows upon rows of minty looking cartridges, pretty much ALL Mario, Zelda, and Pokémon related with no label damage whatsoever, hot items like CBFD and Super Metroid, and tons of systems, including some very nice SNES and colored N64 units, all lined up neatly, all individually priced to fit the eBay market, most of them sitting in display cases, waiting for their turn to be purchased, but priced too high to be worth it. Disgusting.

It was a video game graveyard, guys. Most of those cartridges will probably never see a loving home again, unless they end up on eBay in the end and some idiot actually bites.

So hard to find first-party Nintendo franchises for cheap lately. I guess I kind of lucked out with some of the titles in the pic, but even still I could have done a bit better (I averaged ~$7.50 per game here).

Resellers are fucking assholes, they completely rape the market to death. They pay next to nothing for what they sell, as well. I went to one a while ago to shift some of my old stuff, and he offered me £10 for 2 Mega Drives, (one was boxed) and a box filled with about 50 games. Long story short, I didn't take his offer, and sold them on eBay, instead, and gave a few away to various people.

As far as /vr/ related games go, I picked up a complete copy of MediEvil today for $15 today, which isn't bad because I usually never see it available, or on the off chance I do, it's usually $25-30 because FUCKING GAMESTOP has driven out nearly all other stores stocking old games, so 2/3 of the remaining ones feel the need to charge asinine prices because they can get away with it.

Had a little extra cash today, so I hit up a few places.

Left the swapmeet with Zelda: Four Swords on the Gamecube for $5 and the following PS1 games for $3 total (all disc only):

>NCAA Game Breaker 99 demo disc
>South Park Rally
>Twisted Metal 4
>Legend of Mana
>Dino Crisis 2

Stopped by the pawn shop afterward and saw Banjo-Kazooie for $5, really happy about getting that one. I've been looking out for the B-K games for a long time now; I never really had the chance to play them as a kid.

Same guy from this post >>1107762

Just picked up a Mega Drive Model 1, 3 Mega Drive Controllers, Mega Drive Cables, a PS1 (which isn't reading disks), a PS2 controller, and a weird ZX Spectrum Cartridge for $15 (about 23 - 24 dollars). Might have slightly overpaid, but I'm not too assed, really, can't always get stuff dirt cheap.

Reckon I got a good deal, or not, /vr/? Sure beats buying from eBay, either way.
