Ok, I was joking with my previous post, but then the same thing happened to me.  For some reason, when you use the "quote" box, it doesn't automatically end the quote, meaning that whatever I typed shows up the the quote.  I had to manually close out the quote so that my text would appear properly.

Hey TDIRunner, if you don't mind another request, I'd love to get a scan of Danger Girl. I don't even own the game, but the artwork looks so nice I want to make a cover out of it! Thanks for ALL the scans you share, it's very much appreciated.

A buddy picked up a CIB of Ogre Battle and no longer needed his loose cart, so it's mine now :D

Rime looked sweet and it was cheap on prime, so I grabbed it.

That game does look cool.  I just checked it out and I might have to pick it up myself. 

Right now I'm not trying to get hooked into any game that is too big because the Crash Bandicoot remake will be out by the end of the month and I plan to jump straight into that game (already pre-ordered it through Amazon).

I ended up  buying Rime as well.  I started it last night and it's pretty interesting.  It seems pretty obvious that the game designers are pretty big Team Ico fans.   ;)

Nice pick up

Thanks, out of all the sales I went to that day I picked all that up from one house sadly. I miss the early 90s just for the reason it's hard to find stuff anymore. People either have sold it all off or they think their HIV infected, turd washed vintage stuff is worth astronomical prices.

Or they throw their old vintage stuff away thinking it's worthless. I remember a couple years ago I was at a yard sale and they had a couple Xbox games out for sale and I asked them if they had any other video game stuff. The guy mentioned he had an Atari with a bunch of games but had just thrown them in the trash pile thinking it was worthless. Luckily, he hadn't gotten rid of the garbage yet, and was able to dig it out and sell it to me for an awesome price. He just didn't realize people collected old video games and assumed it was just obsolete electronics like a tape deck or an old computer, and had no value.

As a spacesaver and for convinience I ordered all 17... let's say unofficial... Amiibo Cards for all Breath of the Wild compatible Zelda cards.

Picture from eBay.

And oh my is the quality good.
Credit card plastic with professional quality print with sparkles.
15 Euros total.

I think I'll order the Mario Kart 8 set next (about same price for 20 cards) and some other ones.

I can now store my Amiibos in long stay storage for great space saving.

I've been wanting to do this for a while.  I've said it before, I love the idea of the Amiibo, but I don't want to buy and store all of those figures.

Friend of mine had an empty GCN lying about, and offered it to me. I wanna turn it into a portable PC. I just need to find a mobo that will fit inside.
Any suggestions will be nice. Worst case scenario, I'll just get a raspberry pi, but I was hoping for something a little more powerful.

Actually I offered him $15. He brought out an Atari 6 switch, 2 joysticks, 2 paddles, about a dozen games, and a cool matching storage case/dust cover. Even though he didn't know it was worth anything it still had value to me so I was happy to give him a few bucks. He probably would have given it to me for free but I wanted to give him something for such an awesome find.

If your not to concerned about the looks this can be done your self for much less. 100 tags can be had for around $30 form aliexpress. There are several sites that walk you through the process. I have created some for my self.

On a side note can anyone tell me the font I need to match the spacing on the Super Mario.

+1

I have more than enough equipment to make these stupid things, but I can get a set pre-made for $15 shipped on eBay, so I did. I ain't got for that crap. Hell, I'd be happy as a clam if they were plain white cards with the names written on them in sharpie.

I didn't get the impression that you were looking for a font. But, if you are, Super Mario 256 is a LOT closer to the original logo than the font on that card.

I'm in the process of making cards like this myself. If I come up with something decent, I'll see about offering it up to the community here, as I don't think I'll be selling them on CHG. :)

Got these in the mail as rewards from Blumpkin's Bounty Board. He even threw in a couple of extra goodies! I have at least one or two boxed games for all my old systems - with the 32X and the N64 being two notable exceptions. Now I have at least one box for every system I own except the 2600. I know it's not a big deal for most, especially since a lot of you guys have super impressive collections of classic games CIB, but as a poor collector in a very rural part of the country, it's a rare and exciting score! Thanks again to Blumpkin, you made my day.

How would you like a single NIB Atari 2600 game to make it so you own at least one for all consoles you own? Got an NIB MotoRodeo for the 2600 that I don't need or want. PM me if interested. :)

Rime looked sweet and it was cheap on prime, so I grabbed it.

I just finished Rime tonight.  Highly recommended.  Great ending. 

A lot of collectibles too.  I'm considering trying to go for platinum.

Shared this on Discord, but my first test run of Amiibo cards are complete. Pleased with the outcome, although you can see the NTAG215 sticker outline. :)

The Retron works pretty well.  Picture quality is excellent at 720p.  The sound is very good, not quite perfect but not bad by any means.  The cartridge slot is a little tight, but not as bad as other Retron's I've had.  Carts nearly always boot up the first time.  The included controller works well and feels solid, unlike most clone controllers.  The system itself also doesn't feel thin and light like most clones - definitely a more solid build all around.  I've found only one glitchy cart, and it's a homebrew I have of "Donkey Kong Original Edition" with the added 4th level.  I was looking for a cheap and easy solution to playing original carts with original controllers on my HDTV and this does the job very well.

That's actually the first clone console I've considered buying, but it wold be for another room, and not a replacement for my primary game room.

Some finds from the local flea market over the weekend.

SMB is complete and in really nice shape. The Mega Memory card and Xbox HD adapter will be flipped.

I really enjoyed all of the SMA games.  I also use that same XBox HD adapter.  It works really well.

^^^ Me as well.  Slightly different design, but who cares.

Are these cards about the same size as an e-reader card or a regular baseball card?  If I get them, I would want to store them in the 3 ring binder card sleeves that hold 9 cards.

The exact dimensions of a CC.

Goodies. Sold my Pokemon N3DS. Don't know why I even bought it. Got this white one and a Love+ DSi LL (still in transit). Only 1 DSi XL/LL to go!  The PCB boards are for a SNES controller. You can attach a Pi Zero directly to it to make a mini Pi console. I've got about 200 SFC controllers at the shop which were intended to be converted wireless, but that project was a total bust. Hopefully these boards will give me a reason to unearth those controllers.

I saw that on Facebook.  I always wondered what happened to that wireless controller project.  That's too bad it didn't work out.  I would have probably been interested in that.  Hope the new project works out.
