August 23, 2014 Pickup

Now before you laugh, I did not find anything super cool amazing special this weekend. So instead I picked up what you see in the picture below.

Link’s Crossbow Training is pretty much the only Zelda game I can think of that I did not own yet, and to find a complete with crossbow version like this made it a must-have, especially when it’s pretty much the same price without the crossbow. F1-Race and F-zero are on my “I used to own these at one time, let’s get them back list”. I also decided to pick up three cheap SNES games. Clue because I love the movie, and it’s a fun board game. Space Ace and Shaq-Fu…well, I don’t know if I can justify these. Tetris, because Famicom games are awesome to have.

Like I said, nothing special, just a few things I didn’t have yet.

Picked up some stuff from craigslist FREE!

A guy was giving away a box of gaming stuff, had to take the whole lot, I feel it was worth it.

First Item is this Box of Atari games, mostly 2600, but there is Pole Position II for the 7200.

There was also a Commodore Vic 20 in the box, with some Vic 20 books. Not sure if the Commodore works, but I intend to find out soon.

There was a Dreamcast in the bin as well, Controller works fine so now I have two, Console powers on but won’t read disks. Been looking at fixes online so I’ll try one of those soon, they require a multimeter. 

Got a ps2/ps3/pc Steering Wheel. I can’t quite get to work right now: I need to grab a multimeter and check the power cord. From research, it’s either that died or the force feedback motor died which means its trash.

Got a bunch of random controllers, a couple good ones and a few broken third-party ones (trash). Sold the 4 Atari 5200 controllers to a guy and made some money.

Got some random games as well. I’m keeping some and selling the rest. There’s also a broken Gameboy Color (Screen Smashed) and Gameboy Advance SP (looks like water damaged) in there. Also, a couple PS1 memory cards, some compact flash cards.

Here is some more random junk (not all pictured here). There is a working V Smile children’s learning console with two controllers and two games, A Crayola Coloring Plug and Play, A Space Invaders Plug and Play (Keeping This One), A Space Invaders handheld (Keeping this if it works), RC battery charger, Broken Atari light gun, Random TV remotes, Random Cellphone Chargers, Couple old Headphones, Wii AV Cable, two PS1/2 Power Cables, three PS1/2 AV Cables, Some Music Router, Some kind of switch, a few coax cables, a laser mouse, There’s even some kind of collectible card game here.

Even got a few comic books.

I plan to take some of the things I don’t want to goodwill, and some of them are going to go to the local game store.
