Finally I get to start a pickup thread!
Picked this baby up today! My collection grows slowly. Wasn't cheap though but still a good deal imo! ->
(http://i39.tinypic.com/21me15k.jpg)
Then some stuff I picked up fairly cheap locally from a board member and on my weekly thrift store ride (I really get much more there then on flea markets in my area):

Finally a complete copy of Zelda. Not in the best shape but I have a very nice manual lying around which will replace the beat up one. The map is foild....?
(http://i42.tinypic.com/4gg5ro.jpg)
You wouldn't believe what you can find in austrian second hand stores. A very good condition copy of US Aerobiz....

Ikaruga? I hate you so much!!!!! 😎

Is the German SNES Zelda in English or in German?
Just aasking as I'm thinking shall I buy just the German manual or also the cart.

Super sweet! I'd love to have one of them tablets.
-
I'm still rocking my old as dirt intuous 2 ;D If it ain't broke...
-
@palmer I will have three now. I originally purchased a small tablet - as the name suggests, it is small. I just purchased the large tablet. My mom likes it and she wanted one, so I gave the small to her. I got the large and now my Wife wants one, so I will order the medium. Now I have all three sizes. LOL.
I've always been angry at the mouse. I cannot draw with a mouse. I've wanted one of these tablets for years now. I finally got one. Now I have to adjust to tablet/monitor vs pencil/paper. Sketchbook is best with these tablets. I am getting better at using it. I hope that you can get one, Palmer. I will be happy for you. :)
@wiggy lol. Intuos2 is indeed outdated. However, the artist makes the tool work well not the other way around. I'm sure that you still enjoy it. Maybe you will upgrade someday and we can exchange notes. I'm new to the whole pen tablet world. Any tips that you can offer will be more than welcome :)
-
So Tik... i'm digging that someone tried to pass off your Aerobiz as Mario :D

Was over on the north side of Houston and went to one of my favorite game stores and picked up these. Aladdin was 4.99, Tournament Fighters was 19.99, Mario is Missing was 12 and Power Rangers was free. I think this might be it for this month, because last month I went over budget on my pick ups and my wife was none too pleased :)

Picked these up this morning.
3 more off my snes list.
(http://i927.photobucket.com/albums/ad118/mojoeskateco/C5EA7F7A-76A1-412E-B8F4-AAB410945AF2-517-000000693DE4E595_zps4a762071.jpg)
$50 for all 3.
Not bad considering what the snes battleoads games go for these days.
I don't normally go for boxed games but the seller did not want to sell just the uniracers cart.
-
Is the German SNES Zelda in English or in German?
Just aasking as I'm thinking shall I buy just the German manual or also the cart.
The German version of A Link To The Past is in German. So are all the other RPGs that officially made their way to Europe. Secret Of Mana, Secret Of Evermore, Mystic Quest Legend etc. They all were localized.
-
Ikaruga? I hate you so much!!!!! 😎
You need it. I already have it in the US version so it's not mandatory to keep it for me. A good old TCP pal can have it for what I bought it plus shipping. ;)
-
Seriously? I'd definitely take it off your hands. Pm me the details. Give me a reason to dust down my cube! 😃

It was a good day for Gamecube:

Local craigslist find. I've seen the ad being posted for the last couple months and always thought to myself that I should just jump on it. But I kept hesitating and putting it aside. Well, after going to the local flea market and seeing a guy sell a dreamcast for 35 I couldn't help but think of the craigslist ad. I passed on the flea market guy and just waited for the ad to hopefully pop back up. Well...the next day there it was, so I decided that it was time to just jump on it. I got all of that for 40 bucks. Granted it's a lot dirtier then I thought but the guy said that 2 systems work and the 3rd (dirtiest) doesn't. If I had gotten to it sooner though I could've gotten the keyboard and fishing pole lol but for the price I can't complain.
Now...just to see how hard it would be to fix it :/ and possibly resell 1 and give the other to my girlfriend or something.

PVM 20L5 and 14L5, some SNES stuff and a GB Color clone that has a backlit LCD screen.

How good is that gbc clone. I have seen them before on ebay . Does it look like the guts will fit on a original gameboy color shell. Good pick

Found these at Goodwill today. I'm not even sure they work, but were cheap enough I will probably just clean them and then display them.

Yeah it's quite a good little unit actually, no way to transplant into a real shell though. The clone is actually a little larger than the original.

Alright
I got The Last Story on Wii with the Art book (Dunno if this version had the sound track), $5
Mario Is Missing on DOS, I dunno if it was played at all, mainly because the stack of floppies (Both 5 1/4 and 3 1/2 inch varieties) have not been opened. I dunno if it has on or off disc copy protection, so I dunno if it is complete. $1
GBA SP 101 model, $5.

Lol, it just happens to be one of the only 4 Atari carts I own.
I happened to be testing the mod with it when I took the picture.
Also. Atari games do not like to be viewed on a 72in 1080p LCD. =P

I hope I never play something worse than E.T. I'm not sure I could handle it :).
-
ET is bad, but it's not THAT bad when you actually know what you are doing. Dull and repetative yes, but i have played worse. It gets a bad rep, because without the instructions it's impossible to work out what to do, and most people have only ever picked it up as cart only.

Ok so I called my local gamestop About Ducktales and they tried telling me that the don't sell the game case with the code.... I proceeded to tell them that was untrue but they kept insisting that they were right. WTF ever. I'm sorry but gamestop is fucktarded.
-
Yeah I know, all the Gamestops I went to said the same thing, even the one I bought it from. I insisted that it existed and the manager at the last one suddenly remembered it or something and brought out the last one.
-
I wish I had known about the physical box version. I ended up double dipping on DuckTales Remastered. I bought it day one on PSN, then after finding out about the box copy I bought it again.
-
Would someone mind scanning in the cover? I'm sure it doesn't have a manual so it will just save me the time and hassle that to deal with dumb people.
-
got myself a boxed sega 32x tonight ;D
-
I didn't get a huge haul this week, but I'm very happy with the items I picked up today:

Here marks my first post since my registration was accepted! A pick-up post!
First week of september was not too bad!
(http://i744.photobucket.com/albums/xx89/bingbadabing1/3794ae7b-bed5-4f5b-b512-1cb2ef4c5277_zps97717a95.jpg) (http://s744.photobucket.com/user/bingbadabing1/media/3794ae7b-bed5-4f5b-b512-1cb2ef4c5277_zps97717a95.jpg.html)
45$ for this lot, get to keep all but Zelda and Double Dragon 2, will probably be able to sell them and get the other 4 games almost free!
(http://i744.photobucket.com/albums/xx89/bingbadabing1/2013-09-08141217_zpsb7907ea9.jpg) (http://s744.photobucket.com/user/bingbadabing1/media/2013-09-08141217_zpsb7907ea9.jpg.html)
70$ for the headset brand new (needed a new one) ,hate the way my local gamestore put sticker right on boxes....and 10$ for GT5 brand new too!
Lets see how this week goes now!
-
I paid for the new Blazblue and I'll have it next month ^^

Got these this weekend :
(http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j225/trafalio/SNES/IMG_0476.jpg)
Robotrek is in PRISTINE condition. Soul Blazer is mint. The manuals have folded corners but are in awesome condition otherwise.
(http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j225/trafalio/SNES/IMG_0478.jpg)
Found those in my local gameshop, they had a 20% sale on all games and I bought those 2. Nothing else interested me.
The collection grows but the wallet feels empty now :) I'll have to try and trade some of my doubles to get more awesome games!
-
These just came in the mail. Some were from a forum member on another forum and some are eBay
I paid £8 for the games on the left
I paid £58 for Four Swords Adventures
I paid £1.99 for Metroid Prime
I paid £7.99 for Dino Crsis7

Another local craigslist find.
Halo special edition Xbox with wires
4 controllers (one wireless but I believe that it's missing the wireless receiver?)
8 games but mostly sports except Halo, Halo 2 and Call of Duty 2
Needs to be cleaned, especially the controllers but everything worked perfect.
All this for just $25 bucks and a 5 minute drive to the next town over :)
-
Awesome find!
Last time I found a Halo edition Xbox some guy was trying to get $120 for it at a yard sale. C'mon man!
-
Lol yeah I know...after I saw the ad and it had "rare" in the title I started to think the price was mislabeled. Especially after seeing them on ebay sell just the system for 50+. But the lady just seemed like she wanted to get rid of it quick simce it was taking up space.
But now I can play my Gunvalkyrie...the only xbox game I bought is one of the few games that isnt compatible with the 360 :/
-
Okay so here are some of my September pickups (and couple from last week of August), also the picture is taken with one of the pickup (Nokia Lumia 925.. kinda like the mini pureview camera)

Boo to not getting an actual case with the LE....art book and case are together like the ff13-2 LE
-
THANK YOU FOR REMINDING ME I NEED TO GET MY ASS DOWN TO THE SHOP AND PICK UP MY COPY. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN TELL BUT I AM VERY EXCITED.
Edit: Got mine as well! I was surprised at the height of the case, and the fact that the art book IS the game case. That's interesting. If I had to guess why, maybe it would be to discourage those people who buy Limited Editions only to sell all of the tchotchkes and essentially get a "free game" after the fact (not saying it's not a valid strategy, but considering how certain Japanese developers seem to take certain things personally, I wouldn't be surprised). But as a Kingdom Hearts fan, I really like it. My only regret is that it looks hardcore out-of-place next to all my other PS3 games due to the height.

Something new for a change. I managed to get quite a few original boxes for my loose games and printed out a few custom ones while I was at it (you can probably point them out). Plus some more looses (Mega Man 1 & Shatterhand 15 € a piece), a rare copy of Gunstar Heroes, smallbox games and almost a mint-condition copy of Link to the past, just missing a manual.

That's a very nice haul; many of those games are in my personal collection as well (though certainly not in-box, sadly). I'm a bit jelly.
I'm also surprised to see that TMNT2 for NES featured silvery sidebars on the front graphic for PAL release. I mean, I knew it was a Konami release (despite the poor attempt at rebranding as "Ultra Games" to get around Nintendo mandates), but I've never seen a copy that looked so much like a Castlevania game on the outside. Interesting.

been a while since i did one of these. last pics i have are from february and it's been a slow year, so let's skip ahead to july:
(http://www.mediafire.com/convkey/d512/86lp7317hn11qkzfg.jpg)
game, the british retailer that went bankrupt last year, still exist under new owners in sweden and they've just started carrying retro stuff. kinda pricey, but for pal-b releases with japanese illustrations (just look at kung fu and kid icarus) it's nice to be able to get a closer look at them before you order. i guess they didn't go with these sweet kitchy pics on us & uk carts because someone complained that it wasn't representative of the actual gameplay or something like that. also devil summoner 1&2 were reprinted, which was nice of atlus since the first one was reaching rule of rose levels of expensive. breath of fire 3&4 also from game, and i always liked the idea of the rosen queen co. edition of sakura wars with the bonus official undub disc.
august:

everyone loves yoshi's island but i missed out on the snes library back when. gonna play this and mario world sometime. new super luigi u is a weird retail release i had to get and wonderful 101 is up once i'm done with rome ii.
september (wip):
(http://www.mediafire.com/convkey/bed2/x3w7cqc78hj8mxsfg.jpg)
idgaf about paper boxes but dynasty warriors advance was cheap and factory sealed (don't want to keep anything sealed on the shelf tho, that just sets a REALLY bad precedent) and i just tried the rom out and liked it. operation winback is supposed to have been an inspiration source for resident evil 4's mechanics, and someone here mentioned megaman x command mission the other day so i went and picked up the last copy in stock from a net retailer for about $15. NTSC-U/C ver is supposed to have progressive scan tho but i'll live with this.

Well, last week was my 21st birthday... I got quite a few games as gifts. I also got piles of gift cards for GameStop and Half-Price Books, and both were having sales right after my birthday - 20% off everything at HPB, and a 3 for 10$ deal at GS. The end result of this is that I have obtained a quite frankly almost embarassing amount of stuff last week.

Myst 3 is still sealed!

Sorry for the glare on the DS games. They are Assassin's Creed: Altair's chronicles and AC2: Discovery, Wario Master of Disguise, Scurge: Hive, Modern Warfare Mobilized and FF Crystal Chronicles Ring of Fates.

That's all - I'm pretty surprised by how much stuff I got. This is probably going to be one of the last pickups for a while though, since well - 21 equals kicked out any day now. The apartment hunt begins soon!

I bought this nifty Media player and it does what was promised.
Clicking the image goes to ebay listing that I bought it from, there is more info there.

-
While not a pickup per se, I just preordered myself a RetroN 5 thru Amazon. I decided to go with the grey version.
-
Picked a few things up today:
(http://i40.tinypic.com/e85w03.jpg)
Finally two more Mega CD "gems" for 5 Euro a piece.
The 32X also was just 10 Euros.
Wonder Boy was 8 Euros. Air Resuce also 5.
-
I need to take a holiday in Austria. If you ever find another 32x at around that price, please pick it up for me!
-
I feel inspired to make some genesis covers all of a sudden...

It's really not always like that. ;) I have to invest very many hours of freetime to get some good hauls. Today I missed out on a great deal sadly. A Mega Drvie with hookups and 30 complete games for 60 Euro. Was the second one who called. Oh well. no Sunset Riders, Ghouls n Ghosts, Rocket Knight Adv., Time Killers, etc. for me.
By the way sheep. Already got your game?
-
No - not arrived yet :( Postal service is notoriously slow though - and have only had 2 things not arrive in over 2 and a half years - and one of those from eBay i suspect was never sent, so call it 1 package not arrive.
I just wish there was somewhere over here where i could get bargains - i miss the car boot sales of the UK. We do have Vide Greniers here (loft emptying sale) - but its usually moldy old clothes, skis from the 1960's and bits of farm machinery. Occasionally you will get a kid trying to sell crappy DS games for 10 euro a pop, and I once found a stack of Gamecube games for next to nothing, but it's just not worth the time investment usually. When i moved here, i thought i was going to be getting my hands on all the lovely RGB consoles for cheap - but it just hasn't happened yet.
-
Sorry to hear that sheep. I would still suggest to never give up though! :) I also go on flea markets every weekend in summer/spring and only get a real good deal maybe twice or trice a year.
Hope your game arrives soon. Was sent on Sept. the 6th.
By the way. Pickups from todays retro-fair here in austria! Was very nice with many cool guys, arcade-cabs to try and so much retro stuff. The price level was really insane though as many retailers were there. The best deals were to be had from privat sellers as always. Still got a pretty nice haul for little money.

So I am really proud that I didn't pay more than 15 Euro for anything. Except for Battletoads which cost me 17,50. ;)
-
Don't know if any others do, but my radio shack is having a clearance sale, they have soldering kits (like DIY programmer, DIY USB experiment interface board, DIY FM radio, etc) way cheap. Might be worth checking.
I got all of the different kits. Programmer kit for $9.99 instead of $59.99, FM radio kit - $4.95 instead of 29.99, etc
Finished the radio and programmer. Can't use the programmer since I don't have a serial port, but all the lights come on and appears to function, and I'm listening to the radio now, lol. Since they were so cheap thought Id practice my soldering and try out my new SMD Rework Station

Xbox HD DVD drive
($5...originally wanted $15 but as I was walking away he asked for my offer...I lowballed $5 since there was no plug and hd dvd is a dead media and he accepted. He just didn't want to pack it back up and take it home lol) Now the power plug will cost more then the drive itself :\
Not pictured but also snagged an Xbox High Definition AV Pack for the original Xbox. Found it in a bin of a mess of cables and wires for $5. Now I can play my original xbox games in HD lol

Hopefully everything turns out good.
Also looking through the reviews of the seller, under neutral:
Buyer: THANKS
Seller response: Neutrals are cool too

That is a excellent condition on that box, hopefully it gets sent in a box. I've had too many CIB games sent by ebay sellers that were crushed in bubble mailers. Seems like a pretty cool guy too since most sellers flip out if you don't leave positive feedback.

I sent a message to the seller right after I bought it asking for it to be sent in one. I had it happen a long time ago with GBC Donkey Kong Country. The seller is a store that sells a lot of games, so hopefully he knows better.
He seems nice enough to legitimate negative comments, and seems to have good customer service if a mistake is made. Seems a bit rude to some others. That comment came of to me a bit sarcastic.
"Good" "We are glad you had such a neutral experience. Thanks for no negative?"

I don't usually bother to post my pick up because its just too much work and I'm always getting new stuff, but this is just too good not to share. Picked this bad boy up yesterday for $450. A Neo Geo MVS 4-Slot Cabinet fully loaded with 4 games! Only one of which is actually displayed in the marquees inside.

So my girlfriend has a Horse and every month or so, she competes in a local competition against other locals and this all happens at a place called "B & H Ranch". I've been there a few time when she's competed or just to watch. Anyway, this Sunday it happened to be raining so a portion of the competition was done in the indoor arena, which happens to have a little spectator box / rec room and I had never been up there. So I make it to the top of the stairs, turn around, and see this powered on in the corner. I had to have it! Asked the owner of the Ranch what they wanted for it and worked out a deal. $450 worked for me! I gotta say, I probably rescued this poor thing from an eventual demise. This thing was pretty damn dirty with barn dust all over, and that shit gets in everything! Stripped it apart the best and could and cleaned the hell out of it. Surprisingly, aside from the usual cosmetic damage like dents and scuffs, overall this thing is in good shape and everything work great accept for these:

I haven't really had a chance to look into it but the marquee lights don't seem to be working. And I'm guessing these things wont easily replaced if their burn out. Worst comes to worst, I can always install a fluorescent tube light. Super stoked to start collecting MVS carts!
-
I'd be jealous, but I'm getting my cab in two weeks. ;)
-
Totally jelly.
Those marquee lights look like they're made of EL film. If so, they won't be terribly hard to replace, but they give off so little light that I'd seriously consider other options.
-
Just wire in a fluorescent. They look great. (Me and my dad used to build MAME cabinets.)
-
Very very nice pick up for a good price! Has the screen burn-ins? That is the worst thing most of the time.
By the way coincidently I will be getting my firts candy cab also in four weeks. A New Astro city! Finally!!!!
-
I went back to the pawn shop, and I grabbed me a copy of Super Mario Galaxy 2, and it came with the Super Mario Galaxy soundtrack CD.
Also They have several Wii Us, they have the 8 gig basic model for $150, marked down to $70...just to get rid of it. I'll be heading back tomorrow to put a down payment on it (25% of the price), and seeing if I can take it home. If not, I'll have a Wii U on tuesday...that is if it has what it needs.

Think I may have found a place on the Neo Geo forums where I can get a set of 4 new panels for about $75. Apparently their better than the originals. Looks easy peezy to replace too. Might just go for that.

Nope, no burn-ins! I was actually pretty impressed with the crispness of the monitor in this thing. Dame near pixel perfect!
Now I just need to find a place to get cardboard boxes that match the ones these the carts originally came in. I'd like to pick up a few a bunch, and then just scan my cart labels, reprint and stick on the boxes. And voila, a retail reproduction box! Then my next step would be to build a mini shelf tower to hold my collection that looks like the MVS cabinet with perfect slots for the boxes to sit next to the MVS. I fucking love this thing! ;)

neo-mini boxes?, don't know how close they are to the original though, also there is a place where you can download the cart labels, that's what i do if i need to replace any.
...lucky guy, totally jelly!
-
Azarkhel might be the guy to ask about those boxes.
-
You want the original brown kit style boxes or just boxes for your carts? There's a few options for Neo shit.
-
I wanna go with the original brown cardboard boxes!

The Legends of Zelda Wii U Box set...aaaand one of the worst games of all time, Link: The Faces of Evil. Because I hate myself and feel like going insane trying to play it.
Wii U was $299 with the Windwaker download included and digital Hyrule Historia.
Faces of Evil was $35 from some random guy. I was at a local game store and this guy was trying to trade in this game, but they either wouldn't do it, or wouldn't give him what he wanted. So I followed him out and offered him $25. we negotiated to $35
-
$35 seems like a steal -- even if it is a horrible game.
Congrats!
Hoping to go pick up my pre-ordered Zelda/Wii U bundle this afternoon :D

Got my Zelda Wii U bundle today too! :P

Some new pickups:
(http://i39.tinypic.com/2zf0tib.jpg)
One weird thing is Pac-in-Time is the first SNES game I ever saw with not a single screenshot or any grafx on the back. Just text in many different languages.
-
Finally someone has that Mighty Max box.
I so need Vertical cover (US style with PAL art) and replacement cover for my manual, so PLEEEASE scan that one soon.

Yeah, the game disk has a few scratches, nothing too major. But he didn't have a CD-i and couldn't verify if it worked. He said that he used to, and the game played the last time he checked. Normally I don't trust untested stuff, but it looked like standard wear and tear, and for $35 I was willing to risk it. And yes, it does work. Sadly.

I got Chrono Trigger on Super Famicom.

Had mine pre-ordered but had no idea it was releasing today. Just figured it would be released the same day as the physical game. After seeing this, ran out and scooped up my pre-order! Gotta say. even tho I already own Hyrule Hystoria, Nintendo is getting pretty fucking lame with digital content rather than physical...
-
not going to post a pic of it because its here and we all know what it looks like but i also picked up the Zelda Wii U today
-
It looks like you could quickly sell the code for $40-45. It's a pretty good idea if you want to buy the disc copy when it hits shelves.

Looks like other people have had busy Septembers like mine ;D
Haven't posted in a while but had to show off my months worth in one post:
(http://i544.photobucket.com/albums/hh334/cineman07/BBAA8CEC-FFE0-45EC-9577-6C1DADEC747B-27559-00000A148A2CCD83_zps9cffc14b.jpg) (http://s544.photobucket.com/user/cineman07/media/BBAA8CEC-FFE0-45EC-9577-6C1DADEC747B-27559-00000A148A2CCD83_zps9cffc14b.jpg.html)

Went to the Oklahoma Video Game Expo yesterday...

We probably ran into each other and didn't even know it :D If you saw the guy with big curly hair, a Megaman shirt, and a NES controller back pack, that was me! ;D

Local flea market pick up from a single table. Everything was nasty dirty so I spent some time to clean everything up.
2x figure 8 power cords
2x Dreamcast controllers
1x VMU (scratched screen, no cap)
1x Dreamcast controller extension cord
The guy is a reseller but his prices aren't outrageous like some others I've seen...he's pretty fair. That being said he let me take all of that for $15
(http://imageshack.us/a/img856/6269/buv2.jpg)
Not video games, but picked it up purposely to test out the xbox 360 hd-dvd player. 3 movies for $5 from another table at the flea market.

I just won a auction for this of eBay, for the above Beatles Stuff, But I may have gotten the wrong adapters. :-\
Still, $21.50 is not bad for it all. Considering how much the dongles go for.
$5 For RB1
$5 for RB2
$3 for Mic
$25 for 1 Dongle.
-
Larry, those dongles should work fine once you sync them to the guitars, but if you run into problems, try to hunt down the silvery-looking dongles to replace them with.
-
I heard something about RB1 dongles not working with RB2/Beatles Instruments, and I think both are guitar, and I need a drum set dongle.
-
Picked up these on ebay:

Google-fu confirms your suspicions. I swear I've gotten them to sync up before, but based on the amount of contrary evidence I've found, you'll be wanting the silvery (RB2) dongles instead.

Some one Local was selling a bunch of NES stuff. Picked these up for $15
When I get there I went threw some of their other games and found the FF Map :D So I framed that.
They also threw in a few SNES games for free. Nothing great, best being Mario World.

He may have the Beatles Dongles somewhere ,they were in the picture in the Cregs List ad, He said he would look for them when he got home from work.

Nice Pick up Snesguy

Anyone interested in a copy of Little Samson (complete, NTSC)?
Their price is a bit steep, but if there's a real collector around here:
http://infinitygames.nl/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=2156
It's not me who's selling, This one popped up on one of my 'retrosites'.
I'm pretty sure that if anyone's seriously interested they'll drop the price a bit :)
-
Took that Sonic & The Secret Rings along with my old copies of Strider and Star Wars Shadows of the Empire into my local shop.
They offered me $15 in credit for them (pretty good since I paid $8 for the Sonic and the better carts), and here's what I got...
(http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2892/9906137406_58c52d1f73_c.jpg)
XBox - Splinter Cell (Need this to mod my XBox) $1
N64 - Star Wars Rogue Squadron $5 (Three for $10 deal) $3.33
N64 - Body Harvest $5 (Three for $10 deal) $3.33
PS3 - Infamous $5 (Three for $10 deal) $3.34
And most importantly:
NES - Jetsons: Cogswell Caper $30
Admittedly, the label's in kind of rough shape on the top edge, but $30 for a game that goes for at least $70 online... Not gonna pass up.
It wasn't a slip-up, mind you, the guy who runs the store knew what it was worth, but he cut me a deal because the label being a little rough and because I'm in there every week. Loyalty pays off.
-
Got my Wii U today, and it had a copy of New Super Mario Bros U in the tray...so Score. $70, complete with a pro controller and a game....and the system wasn't even registered yet.

Don't be, I've been watching it update for the past 2 hours.
-
I got the Japanese guide book of Pokémon Gold and Silver. Now, I can scan the pages.
-
Finally got a Wii U Deluxe set with two Pro controllers and a Wiimote.
waiting for Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze and SM 3D World.
I haven't purchased a Nintendo system since the N64.
I like it. I ot Nintendo Land with mine instead of Zelda.
I have to get used to all of this newer technology.
I was mad because the cd-drive bay wouldn't open. LOL
I've learned that you just slip the disc into the slot. Doh!
anyway, good stuff. I can't wait to add more games.
I prefer Nintendo. I do not like XBox and Sony is mostly shooter games.
will show pics later ...
also, I'm still working on some covers and will upload soon ...
-
That's one of the two Nintendos that i don't own yet, but i think i will buy first the gamecube (that's the other :P).
Nice that you got one, enjoy ;D
-
I never had a GameCube either. A friend of mine has GameCube, although he is a major SEGA fan, I played some games and I like Luigis Mansion, Star Wars Bounty Hunter and Tomb Raider Legend (but the last two are also PlayStation games.) I need to get a GameCube too :)
okay, here is a pic of the box:
(http://www.mediafire.com/convkey/b579/8votwfdkpet5nl57g.jpg)
I played Nintendo Land with my Wife. We laughed at the robot character Monita. I was impressed with the GamePad. The GamePad is a touch screen too. I like how tilting the GamePad acts as a viewer and how it is in sync with the tv screen. cool stuff.
I am happy to be up-to-date now. I will enjoy playing the Wii U.
I can't wait for the new games to come out. I want the DK game, SM 3D World, Luigi game and the Duck Tales remastered game.
I also bought a Wiimote, two Pro controllers and a headset.
(http://www.mediafire.com/convkey/5cb2/krr6gptdvsgjymj7g.jpg?size_id=5)
e-brugal, I hope that you get the GameCube and the Wii U too ;D
please share pics and stories when you do get the systems.
-
I have not had a chance to play any games on my WiiU yet, but I've had a bit of fun in the Miis and Miivurse. I had a small internet connectivity problem I solved by moving the router.
I so far love the Wii U, I just with there were more games that utilized the gamepad.
Why did you not get the Zelda Bundle? Not a Zelda fan?
-
Hello, Larry, I understand that the Zelda is a download only game. I hate that stuff. I want only physical copies of games. I think that downloads should be used for backup purposes. I have a 2TB and a 3TB external drive, so it's not about space to me.
I do not dislike Zelda. I am a fan of this genre but sometimes Zelda games have stupid parts to them and I am burned out with it. I tried Twighlight Princess and the graphics are awesome and the beginning of the game looks promising, then you get to the herding part. I never played beyond that part. I hate the herding concept. Earthworm Jim 3D made me hate the herding in video games. lol. I like exploration more than shooting and fighting. I will eventually get Zelda anyway because my Wife is a fan of Zelda. lol.
bottom line: download vs physical copy
I wanted something with my Wii U that has a box and a disc. Nintendo Land was only one available without travelling.
Speaking of GamePads
I'm trying to ask around to see if Donkey Kong Country Returns works on a Wii U.
I have not purchased a Nintendo system since N64 and I am growing frustrated about the controller aspect of the Wii systems. wtf? I understand that not all games are playable with the GamePad, yes? some may require a Wiimote or something called Nunchuck and Classic? I am confused. I wonder what Nintendo is thinking here.
My first thoughts about the GamePad - I thought that two players could play Madden footbal and not be able to see each others play menus. how cool. Then, I imagined all of the possibilities with other games. But apparently, noone else is daydreaming and many games are not even playable on this GamePad. very frustrating. I hope that this changes in the future. Game Developers need to be aware of Wii U gamers and start producing. XBox and Playstation are not the only systems in town. I want to use the GamePad with all of my games. Star Wars Bounty Hunter would be awesome with this pad, yes?
-
Thanks, i hope to get them soon.
I recently bought an Snes (page 2 of this thread)
http://www.thecoverproject.net/forums/index.php?topic=12983.msg116707#msg116707
This one is right now next to his older and younger bothers (Nes, N64, Wii) and his cousin (PS 1) remember that there was an asociation (nintendo with sony) to make a CD console and when they break up Playstation came out, so they are cousins :P, lol
-
Nice buy e_brugal ;D I love the SNES. I still play it. Donkey Kong Country 1,2,3 are my favorite games.
I used to have a PS one but someone stole it from me; my sister and her husband. I never got it back because I couldn't prove it. I did not have a receipt and Police can not do anything. Think about that for a minute. SAVE YOUR RECEIPTS,. Otherwise, it's a civil matter. Anyway, Twisted Metal series is my favorite on the PS1. I still have the games. I play the cds in my pc with epsxe. Incidentally, I now save receipts for everything. If I buy a roll of toilet paper, I save the receipt. my TP, get your own. LOL.
I am happy for you, e_brugal. I can't wait for you to get a Wii U and a GamePad. We can exchange notes and stories.
You have a nice collection. I am happy for you :)
-
Thenks again ;D, when i get it i will tell you.
Damn your sister stoll your PS. F@+-_@ :o
I agree with you in that part of having the physical disc, prefer having them in box next to me.
About the Wiimote and Nunchuck, it's fun to play with them in the Wii, so when you get them you'll see, love to play Zelda with them ;D
-
okay, Thanks. we can exchange notes and stories :)
You really do have a nice collection. Thanks for sharing pics.
I also bought a Wiimote today because I understand that it is needed to play DKC Returns and I want to buy that game. I will tell you how it goes when I get it working. I am tired now and I will go to bed soon. I have some things to do today but I will try the Wiimote later in the evening.
Ja, I like physical copies of games too. I will get Zelda on October 4 when the package version is released.
I call her my Ex-sister now. I hate her. She is evil. My other sister told me that her husband was wearing my jacket too, so they must've stolen more than a PS1.
Anyway, I am over the loss of the PS1 but I'll never forgive her for the thievery. Damn Bi-atch. :)
I bought a PS2 and Twisted Metal Black and it helped me forget the PS1. Maybe I will get another PS1 but I am happy using epsxe and my discs for now.
okay, I go to bed now e_brugal.
Good night and happy gaming ;D

Recent Ebay pickup
I wasn't really looking to add another Dreamcast to my collection but this lot was too good to pass up
(http://imageshack.us/a/img12/2650/mzny.jpg)
As you can all see it's a boxed Dreamcast, Boxed Controller, 2x Boxed Rumble pack, 2x Boxed Starfire gun (2nd gun is laying down behind the visible one), the 4 games and a Dreamcast carry case
Everything is used, but the condition of the whole lot was nearly perfect. The console looked like it was barely used
(http://imageshack.us/a/img689/1772/5xxs.jpg)
The case was the one thing that really got my attention...because all of this was inside!
(http://imageshack.us/a/img59/7575/3lnm.jpg)
Gameshark, boxed VMU, 2x controller extension cable, multi-system av/svideo cable, ps2 av cable, battery for the vmu still packaged with a "best by" date of 2008 and the main item that I wanted, a vga box for the dreamcast!
I had considered doing the vga mod, but I have no soldering skills, and while my cousin does...I was still reluctant to let him do it.

Ok... So... I lately haven't been posting my pickups because there isn't really anything special about them. Just common odd and end stuff.
BUT
This I gotta post. So as lightning McQueen would say...

Now just to throw this out there. I took the video before Sky Shark was working, it had some problems I had to fix. They are both a little rough still and need major cleaning. But I wanted to make sure they worked first. There is a loooooooooot of fixing up to do. (As you could prolly hear from the Arkanoid control knob.)
I will not say how much I got them for, but I will say this. EXTREMELY CHEAP! Not free though...

Like a few other members of the site I picked up the Zelda Wii U bundle with my store credit from BullMoose....Blumpkin may know of the store.
I also snagged a Pro controller, Iron Man 3 BD/DVD, Suikoden Tactics hint book, GoW III Hard Cover hint book, KH: 3D Hint Book and some random movies and pre-ordered the Zelda Guide box set and various other things from the same place with said credit as well.
-

I do! But good deals are hard to find at their stores, at least for me. I think they made the minimum price for N64 titles $7.96 this summer. That's right, damn near $8 for effing sports games. Terrible.

DKCR uses the Wiimote sideways, like an NES controller. Any controller requirements are on the back of the box.
The different Wii U controllers are:
Game Pad (http://nintendoeverything.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/Wii-U-GamePad.jpg)
Pro Controller (http://blogs-images.forbes.com/erikkain/files/2012/06/Wii-U-Pro-Controller1.jpg)
Wiimote Plus (Upright or Sideways) (http://www.thetanooki.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Wii-Remote-Plus-640x342.jpg)
Wiimore Plus With Nunchuck (http://nintendookie.files.wordpress.com/2010/09/wiimote-nunchuck.jpg)
Wiimote with Classic Controller (not to sure if any U game uses this) (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f2/Wii_05.jpg)
The Gamecube controller is no longer supported, due to lack of a port.
The main ones you should have are: Game Pad, Wiimote Plus, and a Nunchuck. The others are extra options.
All Wii U games should use the Gamepad as a Player 1 controller. Wiimotes are for other players, but in some cases be used for P1, like NSMBU.
The Pro controller mostly relapses the Classic and Gamecube controllers for Wii U games.
I think the Game Pad and Pro controlers are unsupported by Wii mode. The classic controller is good for Wii games, like Brawl, Xenoblade, and others.
It is a bit of a clusterf@ck, but I like all the options.
-
Hello, Larry,
Thank You for the quick introduction to the controllers. Good stuff. I am new to the Wii world. I do see the controller options listed on the back. I only have one game right now - Nintendo Land. I have to wait to purchase the upcoming releases and I need to make time to browse current games. Anyway, I did buy the Wiimote Plus, so that is good. I will buy Donkey Kong Country Returns and catch up with the gaming world. I haven't played newer games since Twisted Metal Black. lol. I'm way behind.
I am happy to have a Wii U now. I do hope that developers make all games compatible with the new GamePad. I like this new GamePad; very cool.
I agree about the clusterbag. yikes! way too many options to suit me. I remember discussing this subject in marketing and advertising course. Studies have shown that too many options is bad business. I agree. I sense a scam with so many options. I feel like Nintendo and developers are trying to squeeze more money from our wallets. I guess I'm old fashioned or just old. I like one controller with many games. oh well. I will just buy games that work with the GamePad or Wiimote Plus. I'm not very good at playing certain games anyway. Actually, I stink at most games. LOL. I am very good at sports and puzzles and car combat. Somewhat good at role playing games.
I am thinking about entering the Game Development industry. I like Star Wars Bounty Hunter idea but not the actual game. Many parts of the game are awful - in my opinion. I want to start with a similar style game but drop all of the bad stuff while adding new stuff.
okay, I am done rambling. :)
-
Larry, I forgot to mention that Xenoblade looks interesting. I will have to try it. Thanks for mentioning it :)

Was looking for the Special Edition of GTA 5 (Ps3) online but it was sold out everywhere, but on the release day I just stumbled on a last copy at my local Target and I barely go to aTarget. They also had Ni No Kuni for $20 so I picked that up as well. Got a GTA 5 poster as well for free. Also got the Ni NO Kuni hardcover guide for $10 of a website called the Book Depository with free shipping a few months ago so now I can put it to use.
Pretty much going to be occupied with these two games along with Beyond: Two Souls and Dark Souls II, then I need to decide whether to get a PS4 or Wii U. Also I want to pick up Chrono Trigger for the ps1 that comes along with FFIV, I heard a friend who played that version and the loading times aren't bad at all. I really don't want to spend $60+ for the SNES cart or a opt for a download.
-
The load times for the ps1 version of chrono are pretty bad if you grew up with the snes version. Unlike what most say, the game is still very playable.
I'd reccomend the DS version as it's the physical version that gives the best bang for your buck at this point. If course if you don't have a DS then it's not reapply worth getting for just one game but the system has a great library.
-
Picked up this one:
Pretty rare find I believe. I've seen them go for prices I wasn't willing to pay.
Got lucky :)

I'd lik,e to have 16 of those in black... but I think I'll go the cheaper way of 16 SNES Ascii pads + SNES -> NGC -controller adapters.
Got 1 set already, works perfectly.
I think I have 8 Ascii pads, so 8 more pads + 15 adapters.
Also still needing 16 official GBA link cables (+ 8 cubes)... those who know me know for what it is.

Search the boards and you shall find the answer.
Hint: It has something to do with ball and face together.

Actuakly those are pretty.common and possible to get for anormal price. what I've been looking for for ages for a normal price is obe of those sexy Hori N64 controllers. Those are expensive and hard to come by.

You're going to play Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles for the gamecube with gamecube controllers instead of GBAs?
I've seen a video of that a long time ago, he hooked up 4 tvs to one another and used a whole load of cables, but it worked o.O

whats the status on that Arseen?
GameCubes: 8
Game Boy Players: 8
GBA-GBA -link cables: 0
SNES Ascii pads: 8
SNES -> NGC controller adapters: 1
(NGC pads: 16, incase I don't have enough Ascii pad+adapter combos)
GB Faceball 2000: 14 (might have 16)
TVs: 2 (but can easily borrow the missing ones).
On the other project, 16 player Mario Kart Double Dash using 8 GameCubes:
I HAVE EVERYTHING I NEED FOR IT.
-
Why 8 game cube for 16 players if the GC comes with 4 controllers, it shouldn't be 4 GC for 16 players?

When you have time, buy Mario Kart wii and you will see how fun is to play with that wii wheel ;D, ohh and it's better to have at least two wii wheels :P ;)
-
Ja, i was just researching Wii wheel compatible games and i saw Mario Kart listed.
I will add it to my collection :) I'll get the game with wheel so that i have two Wii wheels.
try to say Whii wheel a few times; tongue twister.
I wish that Nintendo had Twisted Metal. I'd like to play TM with a Wii wheel ;D
e_brugal, maybe we can play online when you get your Wii U :)

My Banana Prince box should be pretty mint, should we try to re-do the one we have it's bit off in parts (logos on top of my head).
I can scan mine ( already have but might need re-scannimg)

Picked this up to connect my dreamcast to the tv via hdmi. My tv does have a vga port in the back, but the placement of the tv on my stand blocks use of the port due to there not being enough space for the cable connector to fit :( But so far it's working well, no complaints.
Also picked up a bunch of dreamcast games that i'll put up later...and one pricey game that I spent more then I thought I'd ever spend on a 10+ year old game
-
Personally, I can't stand Mario kart with the wheel. It's clunky and not very responsive IMO.
-
Went out to a few garage sales this morning.
Spent $15 on the 5 game items and $40 on the Oakley Antix (perfect condition).
(http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj30/FritzDWhite/pickupssep282013005.jpg)
3 Wii games are complete+perfect condition. GBA SP is in perfect condition, but missing charger. Spyro is scratched and missing the manual, but it plays.
-

I thought the exact same thing when seeing it. Couldn't pass up on that deal though as ebay prices are insane for that game atm.
-
Just recieved tactics Ogre lets cling together (JAP CIB), Ys 4: Mask of the Sun (JAP CIB) and Romance of the three Kingdoms 3: Dragon of Destiny (US CIB).
Will scan boxes and labels today after work.
Does anyone wat the manuals scanned?
Poster/Map for Romance of the three Kingdoms 3: Dragon of Destiny coming later, scanning it then.

Barbie game for my Wife $19.99
:)
Yikes. You sure its not for you? Only games I have gotten my wife in the past are:
Princess Peach, Dreamfall, NHL, Mini Ninjas, All available LEGO games and Guitar Hero/Rock Band Games. She wouldn't be caught dead playing a Barbie one.
Though, she hasn't been able to play anything in over a year....we have a child....he consumes time like Cookie monster consumes cookies.
Went out to a few garage sales this morning.
Spent $15 on the 5 game items and $40 on the Oakley Antix (perfect condition).
Nice grabs on the game stuff. The Mario games alone are worth that. I guess the SP could be worth double what you paid....it surprises me that they are that pricey online when I see many of us getting them at yard sales and such for next to nothing.
-
I'd be interested in Ys 4 manual scans if you don't mind taking them!

LOL okay, I admit it: I'm a closet Barbie fan :) let's keep this info confidential ;D
Actually, I do like playing the Barbie games. I like the two games published for PS2 - Island Princess and 12 Dancing Princesses. LOL
My Wife and I are members of Barbie Collector and I just purchased four Barbie dolls from the site. LOL
I like the new movies that they are making and I just purchased four of them. I will buy the whole collection. Yikes!
speaking of Dreamfall, I remember the first game, The Longest Journey, I own it. I bought it for $10 at Walmart along with the first CSI game. I am a fan of anything Family. I still watch cartoons. LOL I'm a softy, yes.
cookie monster Baby LOL
I understand what you are saying. Children are number one in the household. I hope to have many with my Wife and I think that our game playing days will be over. :)
But think about this: as they grow older, you can teach them how to play games and show them all of the games that they've missed out on. Lots of fun.
Congrats to you and your Wife. I hope that you and your family are healthy and happy.
Maybe we can convince your Wife to start playing Barbie games too :)

I guess it's no longer a secret; I've been outed. LOL
just between us, I also downloaded a Barbie game for my Kindle Fire. shh, don't tell anyone ;D
on another note, I'll be working on Claymates for you today and the Mickey cover.
i just need to get some coffee.
by the way, I also listen to girly music. LOL i like Triinu Kivilaan and i have is it me on repeat in my music player.
i am digging a deep hole here. i should keep my mouth shut now.
i will come back tomorrow and post about how my account has been hacked and that someone else posted all of this stuff. I am a hairy ape Barbie hating war monger. yeah, that's it. people call me Dawg and pitbull. LOL

There is nothing wrong in collecting barbies ..or admitting that.
By barbies I assume you mean the Australian things Americans call barbeques... right?
But why do you need so many barbeques and where do you store them?
And any good music is worth listening. 8)
Good to hear Mickey and Claymates is coming along.
I too try to scan and make few covers tonight and tomorrow.

Live and let live, I always say.
Truthfully, I've always been this way. I have seven sisters. I'm the only boy. I guess that some sensitivity has rubbed off on me. LOL
people always think that I'm gay, not that there's anything wrong with people who are gay, but I'm not. I just like Family values. I still watch cartoons and collect toys.
I also play hockey, listen to Metallica and hunt and fish. I am just enjoying life and I rebel against stereotypes. I think that a lot of us do so. I am not ashamed of it. I'm happy to admit it. I don't want to a mean man. I like being nice and happy. life is too short.
Anyway, I know that you are teasing. I got some good laughs today. Thanks Arseen :)
ja, I just made coffee and I will get to work on some covers.
Oz manual is almost done too and I have the Smurfs cover in queue.
I have been busy alot lately but I'll catch up now.
okay, I work on covers now.
type to you later... :)

Hey... where's my custom title Arseen? Lol. Guess I'm just "Not Cool Enough"... :P

Oh another brat from big family?
I too have 7 sisters but I top you with 2 brothers.

Yeah type you later.

So you know what it's like to grow up in a big family. I always wanted a brother but that never happened. I am the fifth of eight children. I am a spoiled brat, so my family tells me :)
LOL your Mom is funny ;D I like her sense of humor. Good stuff.
well, you have a wonderful family. But your Mom must be tired. LOL. she was a busy Woman.
You are funny too. You must get that from your Mom :)
okay, i work now. I promise.

"Not Cool Enough" LOL
maybe you should hang out in the freezer for a bit, that should cool you down :)
I will call you Sweep-a-table.
funny story, my Armenian friend told me a story about his first times in the States:
he had a job as a bus boy in a restaurant. A waitress had shouted out to the cook for an order of Sweet Potatoes. My friend thought that she was talking to him and he thought that she said "Sweep a table". He said that he had thought "why would they want me to sweep a table with a broom." He said he got the broom and whenever he was about to sweep the table, the waitress asked him what it is that he is doing. Everyone laughed. He still laughs about it now that his English is better. So, we should call you Sweep-a-table. ;D
i go now ...

She is a buzy woman, she is a doctor, one of the most liked around here.
I'm RPN (registered practical nurse) and I've never had problem handling dead people, and she told me a while back one possible reason.
When I was around 4 or 5 we lived in small town and she was one of the 2 doctors there and it was her turn to recieve emergency calls.
Well one old lady had died of natural causes.
She had kicked the bucked while sitting in a rocking chair, and she had to be prononced, so the ambulance carried the lady to our home still sitting in the chair.
Naturally we kids were interested, and instead of telling us to go away our mother allowed us to look and even touch the lady (she knew that the lady had liked kids and would have not minded).
So nowadays I handle dead people once in a while and never have felt anything wierd in it.
-
a Doctor? that's pretty cool.
RPN? interesting. You are pretty cool. Very interesting work.
I did emergency work for a while, so I am used to dead bodies too.
I was a little freaked out about it the first time that I had been around a dead body.
I had responded to a call involving a fatal car crash. The husband and wife had both died. very sad.
I do not mind dead bodies but missing parts is too much for me. I cannot handle it.
I wanted to be a cop for a short time but I smoke cigarettes. I did not want to quit smoking at that time. I moved on to computer programming and web design.
I just recently discovered that I am related to King Louis XIV, XV, XVI.
My ancestors were disinherited and persecuted for religious beliefs.
I think that I shall take over France ;D LOL
just kidding but I really am related to the royal family. interesting.
okay, i work now. lots to do.
I hope that you have a pleasant day and best regards to your Family.

Related to royal family trumps me being second cousin of Ville Valo (the lead singer of HIM).
Never met him tough, found out the connection 2 years ago.
-
Not only that but I'm also related to American Football player Frank Fuller :P

Ville Valo relation? that's cool. Maybe you will meet him someday.
I actually studied videography and sound engineering. maintained a 4.0 gpa

I had forgotten about that Barbie. I like the birds that come with it. Pretty cool, especially for Hitchcock fans. Barbies are the same as action figures just carry a feminine stereotype with them. Actually, alot of people collect Barbie dolls and some people sell them for profit. Sometimes rare dolls can bring in alot of cash.
I just purchased the Wizard of Oz collection recently and I want to add the Batman and Catwoman dolls soon - they all look like the original actors/actresses.

I'll also admit that I like Monster High. LOL
okay, no more telling on myself. I duct-tape my fingers now.
I always thought that $100+ is too high but the dolls are actually quite nice nowadays. The clothing is very real, just small. The hair and accessories are much nicer than before. My Wife likes to collect Barbie dolls and now she has me doing it too :-D I like the Coach Barbie that was recently released but it is already sold out at the Mattel site.

The most I ever spent on a figure was on a Sonic Adventure 2 Shadow Figure. $50 new a few years ago. Kinda glad, they are imposable to find now.

I got the Sonic one from a friend for $10.
I'm not as interested in figures as I was, I'm mostly looking to complete my McFarlane Beatles set, I'm missing series 1 John and George. Kinda sad considering they are the two currently passed away.
I wish the would make some other figures not based on the Yellow Submarine design. They released 5-6 sets of them in the same design. Why not a Sgt. Pepper, or Magical Mystery Tour, or Get Back, or A Hard Days Night era or something?
A new set coming out is $100 per figure. Nope

Nice geometry on that monitor man, got very luck there!

Thanks! Yeah, I'm actually really impressed with the monitor on this thing. Takes a minute or two to fully focus, but I've never seen pixels so sharp on an old-schooly tube like this. Now I just need to replace the old wobbly fan in the power supply and I shouldn't have to mess around with this thing anymore! Totally obsessed with this thing...
