Atari Flashback 2 (with power supply and one joystick): $6.99 at a local thrift store. Works great. Didn't realize how much I sucked at some of the games. Could be that joystick too.

I forgot to ask - where can the manual for the Flashback 2 be downloaded?

That was a STINKIN' good deal! I once got a complete Commodore 128 system w/2 1571 drives, and a 1702 monitor for free. However, I ended up selling it all off when I moved back a few years ago. How I miss it.

Again, great score!

Found a Neo Geo MVS arcade cabinet sitting on the side of the road by my aunt's house but it was completely gutted except for this!! The white around the graphical overlay is just condensation from being taken from 20 degrees to 80+ in a couple of seconds.

[orangest]

Grabbed these from two different nearby Goodwills today for $5.99 each. Thank you to the store with the "sticker on the side of the cart and not the label" policy.

On further inspection, it looks like it was taken from an MVS and then re-fitted to work on a MAME cabinet.

So I got the kids a new 360 for their room for xmas. Rather than buy a bunch of controllers and stuff I ran across this deal to kick start their 360 experience.



RROD 360
A/V cords
PSU (wrong one for this model)
2 blue controllers
120 GB HDD (Fits my machine)
CoD MW (in Black ops case)
Tiger Woods 2012
Lego Batman/ATV game (2 disc pack)

$40

I fixed another RROD today. This one is next on my list. Ran out of screws.

My recent finds at the flea market is actually what got me interested in collecting old game systems instead of just watching reviews of them on Youtube.

Flea Market:
Atari Video Pinball C-380 (2nd white edition) for $10
Panasonic 3DO REAL Interactive Multiplayer for $5
Shopgoodwill.com:
Atari VCS six-switch with two joysticks, one paddle, two 'driving' paddles, and twelve boxed games for $45 shipped.

Going to hit up the thrift stores again later today!

I've always wanted one of those, they look so cool. Congrats on the great finds.

Picked up some 2600 games at a pawn shop for a dollar a piece today(I bought a lot so he brought the price down from $3 a piece):
Journey Escape
Turmoil
Fantastic Voyage
Worm War 1
Star Wars Jedi Arena
Airlock
Starmaster
Sneak'N Peek
Wizard of Wor
I was going to get Gorf, but the employee took it out of the case and gave me a lesson on how Gorf is rare and said i probably don't know what it is and how kids today don't know anything about old video games.(which is a weird thing to say when a 14 year old is buying atari games from you)

[orangest]

Picked this up today at one of the last remaining Wherehouses that hasn't yet changed into a FYE.

[MagnaFarce]

Picked up an original SNES with two controllers and all the cables from the only Goodwill within driving distance that doesn't suck for twenty dollars and got a poorly boxed UK Tomb Raider for the Game Boy Colour with the documentation for a dollar from a small thrift. Good day.

...and I thought everything was dried up around me / terrible season - today proved me wrong:



$4.20 for:

PC Iz and Auggie: Escape from Dimension Q
PC Rayman Forever
PC Glover
PC Backyard Baseball 2001
PC Sonic CD
PC Sonic and Knuckles Collection
PC Sonic R (two copies, one Sega PC Collection, one basic release)
PC Project Studio: Pokemon Blue Version

I'm not huge into PC collecting, but these are exactly my era (played a few of these at friends houses/grandparent's house back in the day) and who doesn't love Sonic?

[Ghost Soldier]

^Nice lot

[Cortat G]

All brand new and $5.99 each at Goodwill.

I couldn't possibly justify buying the other 13 shrinkwrapped copies they had, but they're at the Goodwill at 2813 Artesia if anyone in the Redondo Beach area is interested...

[Shephda]

Went with my son yesterday for a mini game run. Found a few goodies:

GBA: (Pawn Shop)
