Video Game "Look what I found"

[jfe2]

EDIT: Also, I just remembered a deal I got before joinging this site. Two NES controllers in great shape, 50¢ each.

Nice! NES controllers are always a nice find, especially for that price!

[FAHQALL]

Da La Jet Set Radio (NTSC-J Dreamcast)
Space Channel 5 (NTSC-J Dreamcast)
Ready 2 Rumble Boxing (NTSC-U Dreamcast)
AirForce Delta (NTSC-U Dreamcast)
Space Jam (NTSC-U Saturn)
ManxTT Superbike (NTSC-U Saturn)
NBA Action (NTSC-U Saturn)
World Series Baseball (NTSC-U Saturn)
Virtual Racing (NTSC-U Saturn)
Joshua: The Battle of Jericho (Unliscensed Wisdom Tree Genesis Game)

For $60 from a pawn shop in a smaller city. De La Jet Set Radio, NBA Action and World Series Baseball were given to me for free because they had apparently been sitting around for a while and I bought enough stuff that "went with them." I thought it was just the standard Jet Set Radio NTSC-J release until I checked it out online.

Da La Jet Set Radio (NTSC-J Dreamcast)

Nice grab! I finally nabbed a copy last summer for cheap.

My big pickups off craigslist and yard sale hunting on Saturday:

Atari 7800



Sega Nomad w/ Battery pack




Colecovision w/ controllers and 27 games





Atari Jaguar w/ CD and CD box (box kinda beaten up)



TG16 w/ CD, case, and 9 games




Not a bad haul, cost me just shy of $300 for everything. I spent a good bit, but I think I still got a really good deal. I know the Jag CD and the TG16 are hard to come by.

[final fight cd]

does the jag cd work? i know they are known for being shit quality.

Yep, everything works. Tried out the TG16 cd and Jag CD before I bought. Those were off the same guy in a craigslist ad.

Just got back from Gamestop

Went to get Guilty Gear XX Acent Core Plus, and they did have it.

But no case or manual.

I found a copy of Shadow Hearts Covenant, but same deal.

I didnt walk away empty handed though.

Tales of the Abyss CIB for 19.99.

I might go back for GG if i can find a way to get the case for it at least.

@Jmustang, amazing haul! I can't make out all the Coleco games. Did you nab Mouse Trap or Donkey Kong? And if so, are they for sale/trade?

Some Great Picks!
I had a lot of fun yesterday, a very productive day! My first stop was an out of the way Swap Meet to pick up another mini keyboard. Got a spare of the mini keyboard I bought a month ago.

Here is the one I bought previously, a very compact PS/2 plug keyboard.



Cherry Keyboard - $5.00 Each (Swap Meet)
I now have a spare for Sony PS2 Smartjoy Frag gaming!

I also found some other interesting picks.

NES Game Genie - $5.00 (Swap Meet)
Finally picked one of these up, might come in handy for the next item.



Power Joy 50 Game Navigator Bootleg Cart for Japanese NES - $4.00 (Swap Meet)
This one is interesting, originally attached to a Nintendo Famicom bootleg Joystick console. The cart has fifty bootleg Famicom games on it, it just might work on a regular NES. I already have an Import Adaptor in my Gyromyte Cart, verified the bootleg 60 pin PCB easily fits inside. Now to get the NES lockout chip disabled and investigate this unusual cart. A full circle of NES games returning to the NES controller!

Namco Plug and Play Volume 2 - $3.00 (Swap Meet)
I already own the first one with Pacman and Galaxian. Great to get volume two to match up the sequel games. The Arcade games include Galaga, Mappy, Ms Pacman, Pole Position, and Xevious. The back battery cover is missing, an easy fix with a piece of black plastic trimmed from a DVD case. Luckily, TV Games has a screw hole attachment to keep the cover in place. Oh crap, the larger main Fire Button only works intermittently. The same button also starts each game. Took it apart and discovered all the switches are very nice miniature limit switches, just like the original Arcade in a shrunken form. The Fire Button limit switch top was rubbed out from heavy use. An exact replacement would be hard to find and I could get a regular momentary switch to fit under the large button. But it would not have the nice click of the original limit switch.

Bah! I rotated the good switch over to the larger Fire Button and wired both A and B buttons to the one good switch. Only two of the games require a second Fire Button, but I found a nice workaround.

Xevious - Both guns and bombs are now operated by one button
Pole Position - Tap button for Lo and Hi gear, hold button for gas.

I remember reading that this TV games Pole Position does not steer. The Analog Steering Wheel did not get the right emulation for the Digital Control. Confirmed while playing, I can shift gears and hold the Fire Button for gas and run into the signs. Oh well, still a nice piece of history, the other games work fine. I have Pole Position on the Atari 5200, 7800 and Mame anyways.

EDIT UPDATE

http://gear.ign.com/articles/526/526873p1.html

I do fear that Jakks Pacific will be fielding a ton of consumer related phone calls because of the conversion of Pole Position. It's hard to believe, but the joystick actually contains an excellent, but well disguised feature: spring-loaded analog rotation. To drive the car in Pole Position, players simply "twist" the spring-loaded stick clockwise or counterclockwise, making this conversion the best controlling Pole Position outside of the arcade. But the documentation doesn't explain this control well, and the joystick really hides its "twistibility" well, so many owners might feel they've got a defective controller since pushing left and right on the joystick won't make the car steer.

Blah Ha! Ha Ha! OMG Pole Position works beautiful, a simple twist of the stick to steer. With the single button combo mod, I now "Pop the Clutch" to shift gears!

A new form of Game play for Pole Position! I think I'll reconfigure other Mame driving games this way.

One of these days, I'll find the C64 TV Games in the wild.

Enough damage, I still had to go to Wallymart for a predetermined purchase.

Red Steel 2 Bundle with Motion Plus - $10.00 (Walmart)
After researching online, I found that Walmart had both the game and Motion Plus attachment bundle for $19.00. The Motion Plus attachment runs around twenty bucks by itself. A veeeeery nice surprise to see not $19.00, but a ten dollar clearance tag on the shelf. Since I have the older Wii with two older Remotes, bought two of these. Gamestop offers a buyback of Red Steel 2 for four bucks. So in reality this is only a $16.00 purchase, upgrades both Remotes and a killer game! At only four bucks trade in, I'll keep the spare game as a backup.

I reviewed the Remote Plus and Red Steel 2 here:

TEN BUCKS AT WALMART FOR RED STEEL 2
