December 2012 pickups

[AO007]

Well, I don't have the tools necessary for a satisfactory explosion.

But I could burn it in a pot.

[larryinc64]

WHAT!?, DC controller is the best sega made!!
could try 'evolution: the world of sacred device', or its sequal, 'evolution: a far off promise', 'marvel vs capcom 2', 'project gotham racing'
really too many to list!

It could be I have huge hands, I can hold a original Xbox controller, But it just has a awkward shape and does not conform to the hand well and forces you to hold it in a weird way. I'm not a fan of the 3 bottom Genesis controller too. Have not tried any others.

Evo looks good, Not a big racing or fighter fan, Do you know any good platformers or adventure games?

Pickups from today.



Radical Rex was $10 which is a steal... but when I looked at the disc, it had a center crack in it... I told the guy working at the store and he gave me a refund.  I asked what they were going to do with the disc and he said probably just throw it away.  So, I asked if I could just have it and he gave it to me.  I tested it and it actually works... not sure if you can play the whole game but hey, it was free.

Gyromite cart has a Famicom converter in it.

This was from last Saturday



Nights is NIB, game is sealed and controller has never been used. Got Metal Storm for $5, again a steal.  Gyromite has the Famicom converter in it.  I looked for one of these carts in the wild for at least a year and have now found 2 in the span of a week.

[madrocsz]

metal storm for 5$ nice, I thought it was a steal when I paid 20 lol

Shatterhand is a sick game.  Definitely one of the hidden gems for the NES.  Great graphics, sound, gameplay, and challenge.

Picked up Kirby's Dream Collection SE $40, A Boy and his Blob $15 (Wii), and Donkey Kong Country $5.

To lazy to post pictures. Lol.

[Bear78]

And here are my pick ups from a toy show today.



Boxed Super Scope (missing game and receiver) $10.  Just bought the receiver and game for $5 on eBay.
Sonic CD $10
Mansion of Hidden Souls $10
Amazing Spider-Man $10
Sega Genesis Capcom Fighting Stick $2
Bible Adventures $3
Quarth $2
Resident Evil (missing manual) $5
The Ninja (CIB) $1
Hang On & Safari Hunt (missing manual) $1
Pro Wrestling (CIB) $1
ESPN NBA Hang Time '95 CD only $2

[ShoothimNow]

Mega Man Legends 1 (Complete)
Mega Man Legends 2 (Disc Only)
Misadventures Of Tron Bonne (Complete, but missing Mega Man 2 Demo)

$140  

Someone traded in Misadventures alone at The Exchange and they want $150...  I felt safe with buying the whole set for that much.

IMO this is what I could reasonably get for each:
Mega Man Legends 1 (Complete) - $35
Mega Man Legends 2 (Disc Only) - $30

Which makes Misadventures Of Tron Bonne $75 =D

[wiggy]

Man, I can't believe those games are worth so much now!    I guess I'm happy that I never sold mine.

[madrocsz]

Not too bad, I got Tron Bonne complete last year (or maybe it was this year) off craigslist I think for 40 or 50, game definitely holds its value

[ShaggyB]

Illusion of Gaia CIB

Secret of Mana CIB

Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island just the cart.


reproduction cart:
Legend of Zelda Parallel Worlds Remodel (basically its a bit easier)

I bought an NES top loader for $65.  I've been looking for an NES for a while because I haven't had an original one in a long time.  I bought an old model at Game Exchange, but it kept giving me the blinking light.  The cartridge input was really tight too.  I ended up exchanging it twice, with the two others being exactly the same.  Makes me wonder if they tried to replace the 72 pin connectors and did a bad job.

It's just too bad I have to use RF.  Does anyone know if there's a way to boost the RF signal to improve the picture (such as maybe running it through an RF modulator)?  Would a new RF unit give a better picture than the 20 year old one that the console came with?

If you got a top loader, then there is not real pin replacement process. The games just needed a major cleaning.
