July 2015 - Stuff bought by those who survived Juhannus

Whered you get it Shenske? I've been looking for a repro cart of this for a while!

To answer that question for shenske, he got them from a guy in Hong Kong who I believe manufactures them brand new to order.

I have ONE left unspoken for. PM sent

I can make my own repros for NES, SNES, GEN, SMS but i can't make handheld repros. I have been in contact with a guy in Hong Kong for some time and he makes my handheld repros for me but i have to order 10+ at a time to get any sort of affordable price.

so i got all of this yesterday 7/24/15 for a total of 6 dollars even everything was at the same yardsale other than the 3ds game the gb games with manuals and the gbc were 5 dollars the ds game with the case was 50 cents and the 3ds game was 50 cents i think it was a pretty good day

I got this for $30, Sonic Jam disc only. Screw paying $80 for a case.



I also got new Saturn AV cable, mine craped out and does not output sound.

I can't wrap my head around the current value of this game. It's crap. Is it because it's Sonic?  Other terrible Sonic games aren't worth good money :/

Sonic 1, 2, 3 and Knuckles are not crap though I already have them on other hardware, and the museum thing is kind of interesting. Sonic 1 has a spin dash added to it.

It must not have sold well or something, not many copies are for sale on eBay, only 1 or 2 are with the case. Sonic 3D Blast is much cheaper at $10 - $20, and Sonic R is up at $40 - $50. Maybe it just has to do with it being on Saturn, and it's sales were bad in the US, so less copies were made. The Japan ver of Sonic Jam sells for $20 complete on eBay. Sonic R Jap is $10~.

I needed it for a video I'm working on.

Bah!  I confused this with Sonic R. My bad.

Sonic Jam price makes total sense then. Collection of Sonic games + Sega Saturn = $$$$$

I get those games mixed up as well.  I would like to add both to my collection, but I won't pay big money for either.

Haven't posted pick-up pics in a long time! Got a nice loot from a trade event last night. I need TCPers expert advice on cleaning that Mega Man cart. You guys have helped me in the past and I posted some great before and after pics, would love to get this thing looking brand new (the label is perfect oddly enough). So what do you guys think? Peroxide? I've never made/used retrobrite, on a quick google search I see that the easiest thing might be to get a bottle of hydrogen peroxide 12% from a salon -- but looking for opinions based on the photos.



Close up on the cart in question.

lol I've never done that before either... sounds harder than the hydrogen peroxide solution, no?

[palmer6strings]

I'm pretty sure that applying peroxide would damage the label... Not to sure though never tried it though. I have however done the heat that shit up method, most of the time it works perfectly fine and as long as you take it slow it should come off great.

If some of the sticky stays on the cart, go to walmart/hobby lobby/or something like that and buy one a sticker maker for $20. Make it sticky again and there you go.

But then you could try that mix of junk stuff on it and it should clean it up.

Picked up Tengen Alien Syndrome and Gauntlet for $2 a pop

[kittybones26]

I am very torn on this lot that I picked up from a local craigslist find.  The system and controls work.  There is a TON of sports games and a few decent gems.  But there is a ton of water damage / mold.  I have tested a few games on the system that came with the lot and they work.   Anyone have suggestions on how to handle the mold / mildew damage?  I am thinking I am scraping the entire artwork and manual portion of every case?  How would you guys recommend cleaning the actual disks before I use them on my personal system?





















Here is what the artwork and the manuals look like after they were carefully peeled from the cases from most of the lot.

Hi guys,

I need a pick up / evaluation.

I traded a guy a PSP 3002 model with a few UMD only games for a NES top loader with two dog bone controllers. Was a PAL psp for an NTSC top loader. What are the NTSC versions worth?

Thought it'd make a nice piece for the games room and since my NES is blinking red it was an easy fix haha.

In my opinion, you got a good deal. Maybe not a GREAT deal, but you definately came out a head on that trade.
