Well, Metroid was in that stack. lol That makes it a bit better.


I like that GameGear case. I haven't seen one like that before, but it's cool. Nice find on that deal.

I went down to the local swap meet today and picked these guys up.
Image
Well at first i was looking for just the carts and was having no luck
then i saw a booth just full of atari nes genesis the whole shebang and i asked him for golf, ice climbers etc.
then i just came out and said what i was looking for inside the cart and it turns out the guy actually knew what i was
talking about and he had one cleaned up and ready to go. I didn't get a very good deal on it but the guy was cool so I payed for it.
Image
This was actually the first thing I saw when I walked in got it for 10 bucks.
EDIT:Just checked out the guys site and this is his collection. http://sacramento.craigslist.org/vgm/1313318587.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

My girlfriend is always looking for old video game and computer stuff for me when she goes to thrift stores. Found a Genesis power supply for 1.00 and a JVC Genesis clone I have never seen before for 7.00. When she got to the counter with them electronics were on special, 1/2 off. Haven't had a chance to check the clone yet, but am using the power supply to charge the NEC MobilePro I bought from a local e-cycle place today for 5 bucks :)

Really good finds, both of you! Michaelthurston, what is the third game from the top on the right side? Looks familiar, but can't think of what game it is.

super ghouls and ghost has to be one ofthe hardest snes games ever.... its so annoying you cant save either... not to mention you have to beat the game twice in order to finally beat it
