Anyone know anything about Re-Volt and The Goosebumps game? Worth anything?

Went yesterday and all I got was an NES controller and a bunch of DVDs. Oh and a kickass Swissgear laptop luggage that is usually 150 bucks for 10 bucks and it's almost brand new.

[Anonymous No.3801286]

Gumtree rather than charity shop but got everything in the pic for £20.

Only thing which isn't perfectly functional is the PoP cart. All Wii games are mint CIB and the Game Gear works like a champ, better than my other two.

I'm pretty fucking stoked to be honest.

Theres this new invention called google. It lets you find out about shit you dont know about.

Just go there and type "revolt pc game" into it and hit search.

The majority of shit on this board isn't even retro.

The majority of people don't even know what retro means. It certainly doesn't mean pre-2000, neither is it a synonym for 'old'.

Re-Volt on the PC is really good, but can be tricky to get working on modern computers. It can be done without the patch but requires a lot of messing around.

Umm, yeah, there's a PS/2 mouse, and what looks like a mechanical keyboard, which isn't even PS/2 but AT. And every one of those handhelds can play retro games one way or another, and with those extra wiimotes someone's all set for multiplayer light gun games and split screen FPS ports.

However, humongous styling fail for not stacking the PS2 and Wii games like hands of cards.

Now this really is seriously weak. That Genesis port of Lotus III isn't even that good, the music is horribly distorted, unlike in the DOS port.

That keyboard owns. Re-Volt ain't worth anything, but is worth a play. Like a modern RC Pro AM.

Shitty DOS port, not worth including. I was just being cheeky.

[Anonymous No.3802648]

>>3802641
And what ever was wrong with the DOS port? At least that cart has a case. I sure would love to come across some DOS ports still with box!

[Anonymous No.3802664]

You have a point. I'll concede if you post one of your pick-ups. And it better be fucking retro. Bought pic related for $4 at the flea market last Saturday. It was snowing. Beat that.

I got one of these new for a dollar. But there was only one available. I might be able to scoop up a few more vaguely similar goodies, though naturally for a bit more than that.

I had this in 1998. I forgot why I got rid of it.

Picked up these maraca controllers for Dreamcast for $10. Sadly it's controllers only and missing some fundamental parts, but the guy I bought it from said he'd look for the other parts to it tomorrow.

[Anonymous No.3806019]

>>3802679
Sorry, i meant scumbag resellers. My bad.

Theyre the type that buys shit they know nothing about because "video games are worth money" then ask the community to value their buys for them. They cant even be bothered to look shit up themselves.

[Anonymous No.3806263]

>>3805082
Well they didn't have any of the accessories. How hard do you think it will be to track down at least the adapter thing?

The internet seems like a bad place to get this (cheapest I've seen for a full set is ~$80) and this is the first time I've seen one in real life, although I don't go out looking much.

[Anonymous No.3807056]

nice kaito radio new in the box.

I picked up this Nintendo Power guide for Final Fantasy, it jas a bunch of original art in it which is awesome.

I particularly like western depictions of Japanese fantasy fames; it's hust really interesting how differently the two cultures see the genre.

I nabbed a mixed box of cables, rumble packs, and a power pad for NES. That was the thing I was most excited about. That offsets the price of the box.

Going to the store today probably, will post if I find anything /vr/ related.

I haven't seen any video games in a thrift shop for the past 10 years, easily. I feel like all the reseller scum pays the delivery truck drivers to rummage through their shit before they actually arrive at the stores. The last thing I ever saw was a Dreamcast controller, about 5 years ago.

[Anonymous No.3813826]

I found a like-new PS controller for $5 a couple of weekends ago at Goodwill, but around here it's slim pickings unless you want a bunch of PS3 and Xbox 360 sports games.

I really displayed it that way because it (along with Hunter Hunted) is/are the only incomplete game(s). It's missing its original case/backer. It does seem to tickle a lot of /vr/s nostalgia boners too though.

[Anonymous No.3814175]

Got pic related last week thanks to store credit. Works like a charm, but fuck when did this game shoot up in price??

This is awesome.

No, not your shitty finds. The fact that retro games are becoming so scarce that THESE are what people are considering "good finds". Fucking 13 need for speeds, sports games, PART of some maraca controllers and a shovel full of PC games that are probly free to download legally or illegally.

I'm so fucking glad I kept my shit as i grew up and started to hardcore collect when people were practically throwing games away.

Godspeed thrifters.

>implying retro console games aren't also free to download illegally
It's nice you're happy with your existing collection. I am too, but it's still fun to thrift shop. Retro PC games are currently going up in value fast so they're most of what I currently buy that counts as retro.

It's kind of funny that you're giving me shit for collecting them while people practically throwing them away just like you go on to brag about you yourself doing at opportune times such as these in the past. You're currently shelving a lot of 6th gen games and eyeballing the rarer 7th gen ones for bottoming out, right?

I have some big ticket stuff I'll still try and move (Asian A+B Street Fighter Zero 3, Rival Schools Arcade,) but it's such a pain in the ass to move something basic.

I wanted to sell my second NES and SNES Advantages because I realistically don't need 2. I guess I'll just go back to my original plan, which was to gut them for PCB's and make better custom sticks using real arcade parts.

[Anonymous No.3815647]

Here's my latest haul from Value Village, got it last Thursday. Notice the all retro content, I also picked up a Wii game but decided not to include it for fear of incurring /vr/'s wrath. Everything was $2 each except FF9 and MK4 which were $8 each. Worth it imo, especially FF9. It's my favorite PS FF game and I'd been looking for it for a while.

i'm seeing Super Bomberman going for more money than Super Bomberman 2.

is 1 a better game or is 2 just easier to find? it's been decades since i played any bomberman and i think when i did it was on the NES.
