PM'd about Pikachu N64.
I'm looking for vol. 2, 4, and 5 of the Orchestral Game Music Concert CDs. I'll pay well if it's authentic and doesn't skip. :)

Great thanks Wig! I've always preferred the model one units but came across the number twos quite frequently. Currently have 4 model 2 combos that I acquired in a donation very similar to yours when I managed a small video game store about 12 years ago. All of them work and are in good shape, they are just put away and never see the light of day. Gonna pull them out this weekend, search for all the cables (which could be a nightmare considering I had the TERRIBLE idea to collect of of my excess cables in a 35 gallon tote which is currently PACKED), and fire it up with a few games.

Would you be interested in it at all even if I can't get her up-and-running?

Man, you and I have more and more in common each day it seems.  First it was really similar taste in music, now game retail management LOL!  

I hear ya on the bag/bin o' cords.  I just went through all of mine and cleaned house when I built those new shelves and giant controller drawer.  It finally freed up enough room to store all the hookups and whatnot that had just been in a large  Rubbermaid bin for a decade or so.

@Wiggy Damn and I thought I had a lot of genesis >.> I only have the model 2 sega cd.

The funny part is that I didn't have a single one until this donation LOL!

I had a CDX and 32X years ago, but sold them about 5-6 years back :-\

PM'd about Pikachu N64.

Got it.  I'll get back to you later today.  Sorta have a PM backlog right now.  I answered 8, then got a whole mess more right afterward  :)


So, went to the scrapyard today to dump 7 or 8 old car wheels that I had, some aluminum awnings from our house, and a pile of other crap that doesn't work or is useless.  I ended up with about 150 bucks for the mess that I brought them.  Woo-hoo!  Why not spend some on games?  I thought I'd just grab a Genesis game or two so I could fully test that mess o' consoles that I just got, and ended up buying a little more than that 100 bucks later*



*None of these games were more than $6.  Moviefan approved transaction.

Luckily I had the clairvoyance to make the Genesis, CD, and 32X template all at once ;)

I just finished em up and I'm knocking out a cover or two.  I'm feeling pretty good about them ;D

It's a bit later now.

It depends on what doesn't work in it - If I feel like I could repair it myself (replacing the internal battery I'm more than capable of doing) I'd take it. I'll just keep my eyes peeled to see what's wrong with it. I just fired up my model 2 Genesis/ Sega CD combo and it works great, Genesis works and looks great, the Sega CD's battery needs to be replaced in order to save though, unless you find of of those elusive back-up cartridges. Knowing you though, you'd probably find a way to make it solar powered or something crazy like that lol!

I didn't know you managed a retail store too, that's ironic! I only did it for about two years before I moved onto a Regional Management position for a health food chain on the west coast. That's actually when I began collecting again because I lost my first collection in an electrical fire at my old apartment complex, but enough about me...  :)

The plastic tote wouldn't have been such a bad idea if I neatly tied everything up and placed it in there, instead of the tangled mess it currently is.

Rick, I'll take a look at it soon and see what I can see.  It seems that the drive is dead or that something came loose.  It still boots, just won't load a disk.

lol

Thanks!  I'm having a good time with them ;D  Took a little from autobot's redesign of my SNES template and applied it here.  The white titles make my life SOOOOO much easier :)


Can we see that Sega CD template too?

I didn't do any games yet, since I don't have any, but I'll post it up soon.
