January 2013 pickups

[MaSHoe]

Cool, I have the steelbook and game from gamestop (yay wifey discount) and got the strat guide from amazon. Still peeved I got screwed over on wizard edition.

That said, check this out, this is literally how I took it out of the mailbox.... wtf

Did you get that from gamestop.com? Is anything damaged?

My copy of Code of Princess was shipped in a mailer like that. The box that surrounded the case was crushed and OST disc was cracked, exchanged it for a new copy at the store level, but still ridiculous that it was shipped like that.

Just Snagged a N64 lot that came up on my local classified, It came with a System with expansion pak, 4 controllers, 2 memory cards, 3 temor paks, 2 power cables, 2 av cables. and these games. All for  $75

Nice score, especially if you needed all of those for collection, otherwise some money to be made there.

As far as that package, it came from a seller through amazon, I emailed them with a picture and requested partial refund. If curious, it was Darkstalkers (longbox version) for PS1

Very nice, I just sold Conker for $75 the other day on ebay so you totally scored.

[Super GDubs Fighter II Turbo: Championship Edition III]

Picked up an N64 with cords and one controller, along with 5 games (no mercy, monster truck 64, madden 64, 1080 snowboarding, top gear rally) for $20

Also got a Genesis model 2 with cords and 20 loose games (gunstar heroes, boogerman, immortal, vectorman, maximum carnage, lost vikings were best of bunch) for $30.  Considering all the snow I had to drive through, worked pretty good for me.  

I am having an issue with the model 2 genesis.  When I plug it into a TV, it's just in black and white.  My 32x and model 1 don't do this, so I'm guessing something might be up with my av out?  I've tried using my 32x av cable (which works with my model 1 just fine), and an RF cable, same resulting black and white screen.

I would crack it open and look for any burst capacitors or anything that might be burnt out on the board. If you can't seen anything visible wrong you can always take a volt meter to the video chip.

Very lucky you are. I would be pleased as punch with that set (though I'd sell the Zeldas because I have the first issuing of each of those games).

On a side note, I added Ocarina of Time 3D to my collection.

That N64 lot is shweet!  Nice pickup!

[AO007]

Not bad. $75 is worth it just for Smash Bros, Conker, and the Zeldas. Are both of those Ocarina cartridges reprints(I.E. not the original muslim chanting version)?

Anyways, i got Super Punch-Out!! in the mail yesterday, probaly the last SNES cartridge I'll be buying since I have Virtual Console and GBA/DS remakes/ports to fill in the blanks.

My final count for SNES;

Super Mario World
Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island
Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars
Super Mario Kart
Mario Paint
Donkey Kong Country
Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong-Quest
Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!
Super Metroid
Super Punch-Out!!
Kirby's Dream Land 3
Kirby's Dream Course
Kirby's Avalanche
Tetris Attack
Super Game Boy

15 cartridges, which is just right imo. But I digress.

[scarmullet]

I know its a little late, been lazy...or working on casing my collection before UGC prices skyrocket, but remember my Super Mario RPG cart? The one that was raped?



Well, I put a new label on it



    TyrannicalFascist has the Zelda cart

Ain't that something, ironically it was the power cord causing the sega to produce no color. I popped in my 32x power cord, and full color with no issue....

So many amazing titles that you're gonna miss out on only sticking with those and VC...

[AO007]

Well here's what I got via other platforms;

A Link To The Past (VC and GBA version)
Kirby Super Star (VC, Dream Collection, and DS remake)
Final Fantasy IV (3D remake)
Final Fantasy V (GBA port)
Final Fantasy VI (GBA port and VC version "Final Fantasy III")
Chrono Trigger (DS enhanced port)
Star Fox (N64 remake and 3DS re-remake)
Mega Man 7 (Gamecube Anniversary collection)
Mega Man X1-3 (PS2 X Collection, awesome games as I just replayed all the SNES ones not too long ago; There's also Maverick Hunter X on the PSP which I also own)
Super Mario All-Stars (Got the Wii re-release which is much fancier)

If I were to add it all together, it'd probaly be almost or over 30 "SNES" games, but only 15 SNES cartridges. Only counting physical stuff btw, as digital is supplementary. Pretty sure I'm not missing out on much.

Plok, and original Killer Instinct (I guess a MAME rom wouldn't hurt)
