I think this solves the mystery then; Willie did find something in the box, albeit unintentionally ;-)

The previews and main score had “Pure Imagination” mixed into the music; they know it does and own it!

My wife, my daughter and I have played the 3 player download play mode, that has been fun. Great if you're stuck at the airport for a layover or want something to do in the hotel room.

I checked for the One on One game and I don't see it anywhere in my house, so I'm certain it was in the box when I mailed it out. Maybe someone forgot to put it back in while repacking?

I thought someone who was a CIB or NIB collector might get a kick out of it. I'm neither, so I though I would pass it on as I can grab a loose copy if I want to play it. I'll double check to make sure it was put in the box, but I'm 99% sure I did.

I looked REAL hard at that copy of Dragons Lair.... but I don't have a Sega CD and I'm not sure if or when I'll get one in the near future. I'm a little more hesitant to purchase old CD systems because the drives are so prone to failure. Seems safer to emulate for the time being. I'll make sure to dig up an Osmonds 8 track next time, maybe some Carpenters too *shudder*

My wife has a copy... I think the hardest thing for me would be scheduling time to play it regularly. Its kind of why I gave up online gaming a while ago; its just too hard for me to schedule.

Just watched the first episode last night and loved it! Looking forward to watching the rest now... By the way, for any fans of Mass Effect on the forums here... didn't the robot seem an awful lot like a Geth? My wife and I both agreed that it was *cough* inspired *cough* by Mass Effect.

Here is what I put in:

I’m laughing at my initial apprehension now because I LOVED this movie! I’ve seen it twice and will probably see it a third time as well. It felt like classic Spielberg, and was really a treat to watch. Yes a lot of the book is missing, but a lot of the book wouldn’t have worked for a movie or drawn the mainstream crowd in, which is what you need for a movie to succeed. It’s also jacked up the market for Adventure carts so that’s something...

Just started playing this game again, this time in Master Mode... I had started my game before we moved, then left it sit for a while until last weekend when I got the urge to play again. I really wanted to not only beat the game in Master Mode, but also wanted to do the Champions Ballad quests. They weren’t out when I beat the game on the Wii U the first time, and I didn’t want to purchase the DLC for both the Wii U and the Switch. Needless to say, with the higher enemy health pools and the health regen, I have had to do much more sneaking around. I also fought Waterblight Ganon for the first time last night, and found the health regen applies for bosses as well. I had the Master Sword (I always get it before attempting the Divine Beasts because it makes them easier), but he still put up a much better fight than the first time around. Really looking forward to finishing this game in a more complete fashion this time around. I plan on hitting more of the side quests, getting more of the armor upgrades and special items, and of course knowing that I beat the game on the hardest difficulty. It’s been much more fulfilling playing on the higher difficulty and just enjoying the game, vs rushing to beat it like last time. Anyone else kicking the tires on this one again, or playing for the first time?

I look at it this way: there’s no guarantees on items being in the box that I want, and no guarantees on the stuff I have being wanted by others. I have what I have, and I try to participate. If you have to go out and shop specifically for individuals on the list, you’re kind of taking the “junk” out of junk box, and turning it into more of a secret Santa thing. Like others have said, this isn’t for profit or getting your 20 bucks worth, this is for fun. Generally there’s something in there everyone will want, and if not there’s always next time. Kudos to Willie for paying it forward.

Hell yeah Rick! I’m envious :-)

Yeah I hadn’t had a chance to unwrap anything yet; sorry for the rough pic I was most excited about Solar Sailer; I’ve been wanting to play it since listening to the Intellivisionaries episode! Also looking forward to trying Bobby Is Going Home. I did try the Tempest game to make sure it worked in my PS3 first and it did; figure since I’ll probably never have a Jag and a copy of Tempest 2000 it would be the next best thing

The box is on its way to RickR! Here's what I took:

They also released on the Wii U VC, so that’s an option for Wii U owners...

Glad I have a CRT and my original Zapper still! This should be fun!

I never had it as a kid, but I remember being mezmerized by that gold cartridge. I played it a few times at friends or cousins houses, but my main Zelda games I played as a kid were Link’s Awakening on the Game Boy and Link to the Past on the SNES. When I first started collecting again 5 years ago I found I had a copy someone had given me in the early 2000’s. I had bought and been given some loose games and collected for a little while back then for my NES that I had retrieved from my parents when I moved out in 2000. I loaded it up and beat it, and I’m so glad I went back and played it. It still holds up well today, and I want to beat the second quest at some point. We also played pass the controller style at Thanksgiving last year at my in-laws house on my daughter’s NES mini, and that was a blast! We only broke out walkthroughs if everyone was stumped, otherwise we played from memory or from collective strategy. Good times!

I’ll have to check my Intellivision collection tonight... I know there are a few I am missing overlays for. If anyone has a spare Star Raiders 5200 overlay I’m still looking for one of those too

Episode 5 - Victory Run is available! http://traffic.libsyn.com/turbotasticpodcast/Episode_5_Victory_Run.mp3 I have also included more information in the show notes regarding the term TATE in reference to shoot em ups. Thanks again for Gary Harris (aka Mr Grissom) for the additional info regarding arcade mode!

Count me in! I collect just about every system as well... no 8 bit computer stuff, but pretty much every console from the 2600 on up. I’m in Michigan.

Either eBay, Point of Sales, ecommerce, or online banking / PayPal are my guesses...

Interesting thing... I tried running the 32x with the Genesis it was bundled with, and I couldn’t get it to work. The games would start to load, then glitch with some horizontal bars in the video and a buzzing sound. I tried it with my newer model 1 Genesis (mine doesn’t have the High Definition Graphics written at the top of the console), and it worked like a charm! I need to do further testing of that model 1 to make sure it doesn’t have deeper issues.

Finally have a 32x in my collection, along with a spare model 1 Genesis! Now I just need some 32x games... I have a copy of Star Wars Arcade on the way, and I’ll probably snag some others over the coming months.
