Nothing too special this start of may,

I did manage to bug an employee about the new "Donkey Kong Returns" poster and was able to get that free.

Well, that and many display boxes, nothing too special.

I like the dog in your avatar and how it looks like it's rolling its eyes. Everytime I see it I think of what a friendly looking dog it is. Is it your dog? Any chance of seeing more larger size photos?

Just bought the FF6 strat guide for £5. Will take like 1-2 weeks to get to me though so here is the auction picture of it :P




oh and 4 of my custom covers are finally printed off and gave some of my games a new home. I'll take a picture with my sisters phone (broke mine...) when I get a chance

Hit some local resellers today:

Slalom, Hyperzone, Thunder spirits $5 each

King of Dragons $25. Not super cheap but I've wanted it for a while.

Huge yearly flea market in the area today.  Didn't find anything rare, but a bunch of solid titles that fill holes in my collection and/or variants to what I already had.  Not exactly sure, but I estimate that I only spent like $30 total.



Had no idea if the Game Gear worked.  Tested at home, screen is good but unfortunately no sound.  Only paid $3 for it and the two games so I might just open it up and tinker around with it.

You've had a pretty good weekend, mojo.

I'd happily pay $25 for a copy of King of Dragons.

I didn't realize that King of Dragons was going for so much... I think I paid $5 for my copy at a sale a long time ago. Glad I kept it lol.
It's an ok game, but I'm not to particually fond of it myself. There are other games I would rather play. Thats my opinion though.
As long as your happy with it thats all that matters!  8)

Well another Sunday, means another trip to the Flea Market. Had another decent day today getting some stuff I've been wanting for a while.

First up is the NES Advantage Controller and the Dremel. The controller I found for $15, guy wouldn't budge initially but as I walked away he offered $10 and I've been wanting a joystick for my NES so I picked it up. Also found the Dremel, guy had it buried in a pile of stuff and he actually didn't realize he had it there. Said he was using it for some stuff and wasn't sure if he wanted to sell it but realized he hadn't used it in forever and said $20. Seemed on the cheap side for a Dremel and it worked so I bought it. It'll be helpful for some of my mods I am planning on getting into soon.


Next up I found these NES games and the Genesis games. Spent a total of $22 on them all, a tad high but their games I've been wanting so I went through on em.
Games are:

Zanac, Alpha Mission and Star Force for the NES and Ranger X and Raiden Trad for the Genesis


Next up I dug around another guys stuff and found this copy of Zelda: Twilight Princess, I've known that it has shot up in price so I had to get it. Marked $20, offered $10 and they countered with $15. Took it at that price.


Finally, was visiting my grandfather earlier in the week and he has a ton of old tools. I've always been a sucker for old electronics and found this old school analog multimeter. He told me I could have it so I of course took it. I do already have a digital one but this one just blows it out of the water based on build quality alone.


Not too bad of a week for me overall. Can't wait for next sunday when I get a chance to head back up to the Flea Market again. I also picked up a Game Gear for free this week but no pics of that as it's currently in pieces waiting to get recapped.

Raiden trad is a pretty rare Genesis game - too bad it's in such poor condition.  Still, it's worth what you paid as part of the bundle.

The NES advantage joystick is a nice item, worth about what you paid.  I've seen one at my local Savers for $6.99, and it's been there for weeks.  Unfortunately, it's pretty dirty.  I'm looking for a good condition one myself.  $10 for a clean, working stick is fair.

I thought the same but it only seems to go 5-10 on ebay. Personally I could see it getting pricey. Pain in the ass shmup but quite fun.
