August 2018 - Last Chance for Summer Pickups

[Tech13]

Some finds from the flea market this weekend.  Always cool to find TG16 games in the wild.

Man I have not seen a tg16 game in the wild in almost 10 years.

It's rare for sure.  When I do see them, it's usually one of the TV sports games or Golf lol.

Las one I saw was Splatter house card only and they shop wanted $200 for it.

This arrived today.

I got mine in today too!

I also picked up a new Logitech remote for my man cave. Best buy has a deal on the harmony ultimate one, for only $80 if you're a rewards member. Also picked up a few strategy guides to add to the collection from the local half Price books.

Random side question, anyone planning to go to the Grand Ole Expo in Nashville this November? A buddy and I'll be there.

I might be interested in going.  Do they have a pretty good sized vendor hall?   

[Hesch]

Last year was kinda meh for vendors. It was much more of a pinball oriented show, with a hall full of arcade and pinball games on free play, and side rooms with consoles setup.. Several vendors there selling parts for pinball machines. There was 1-2 game vendors there, with some rarer old Japanese systems and a lot of custom cartridges.

I don't know what to expect this year. Different venue, with I'm hoping more space. I'd really like to see more retro game vendors show up.

Picked up Resident Evil 2 for Dreamcast from Gamestop.  Got a kick out of one of the codes on the label.

Cool, thanks for the info man!  I'll have to keep it in mind.  I'm in STL so it wouldn't be too far of a drive for me.

Still on my controller Kick.

I am happy to have a Japanese version of this controller and I look forward to using retrobright on it.

If you or anyone else decides to go, look me up at some point. I'll have several systems in my room and plenty of vodka! Lol

You got my attention.

Been on a Dualshock 4 kick lately it seems.  Got the 500 Million celebration DS4 on the way as on this morning.  Just pre-ordered both the BerryBlue and Sunset Orange ones as well.  That'll make seven fully functioning and one with a slight issue controllers for PS4.  Don't really know why I need that many, but it feels like I do.

[TDIRunner]

I kind of want to get one too.  I would loved to get the entire console, but I didn't want to spend the money.

They also have a matching 500 Million Sony Gold headset.

Would have loved to get the 500 Million console as well, just too pricey for me to justify.  A controller, on the other hand...  Free shipping, 10% off with a birthday coupon, and $20 from a gift card from Best Buy made it a real easy choice to grab one.  Still a little irritated I missed out on the Steel Black controller and can't find it now so I didn't want to repeat that.  Should find some way to display the controllers I don't regularly use...
