  3. Games for Trade

    in Trading Post

    Posted

    Here's some stock left from the Expo that is all in my trade pile for now.   I'm mainly looking for N64, NES, SNES, Gamecube, and Genesis at the moment.   I'm also always looking for the stuff on my want list.   I'm also up for selling it to you at a very reasonable rate.

  9. 2016 Houston Arcade Expo, November 11&12

    I figured I would sum up a little about the expo for you guys.    First of all, we spent 22 hours behind a vendor booth this weekend and we're exhausted, but its a good tired!     We vastly underestimated how much we would sell, which is a nice problem to have.   We united a lot of people with new consoles and games.   One guy picked up a couple of NES games from us that had Funcoland sleeves I got from a trade with Mr. StormSurge...he declared this to be the highlight of his weekend based on those sleeves alone.   Another kid, maybe 7 or 8 years old found a Scholastic Book about Pokemon in our dollar bin and literally shook with excitement.   While his dad talked to us about his voracious appetite for reading (he had spent the expo reading every word on every pinball and arcade machine at the show) the kid had already devoured a good 10-15 pages.   Ah, the joys of a one dollar sale.  We also had a great Burgertime family that enjoyed some quality time on our Intellivision before her cosplay contest.   She was kind enough to pose for a picture after she won a trophy for her Peter Pepper costume.

    It was a different way to enjoy the expo, as I had VERY little time to play games or go to see speakers.  All we could really do was watch people enjoy themselves, and talk about great gaming memories with our awesome customers.

    Here's a quick walk through Jennifer was able to film with our booth at the very end.  Sorry about the quality, it's a phone vid.



    I didn't get a big pile of neat stuff unfortunately.   There were only 3-4 of us selling retro games, and one was a guy who's shop is literally 10 minutes from my house.   Very little older stuff there, a smattering of Atari, even less Intellivision and Coleco.   As usual it was mostly NES and later stuff.    On the other end of the spectrum, I brought a LOT of Atari, INTV, Coleco, and sold relatively little of it.

  15. TecToy Sega Genesis / Mega Drive

    It will have an SD card slot, an SD card with built in games, and a cart slot.  

    For $125 you can pre-order them now.

    The price is high for my liking.  You can buy a real Genesis for under $40 dollars, grab an Everdrive for under $50, and do everything this machine can do.  But what fascinated me was how popular the Genesis still is in Brazil.   Much like Atari, it seems to have held on much longer.

    To be honest what a burger is not that good for me. There are so many options, particularly when it goes to burger joints, but they do periodically have an A1 burger that is good. I do like their shakes. But so much fast food to choose from.

    I'm with you.  There are some that swear by Whataburger, and I always enjoy it when I do go...but I never pick it as a general rule.   They are a little pricey and kinda slow.  

    And, like you said, with so many good mom and pop burger joints around...

    Still, who didn't love the old commercials?

    No chicken express here yet. Anyway since we are talking about food places. Steak and shake has good shakes, and chilli in my humble opinion. Brings me to childhood every time I go there. I found some decent places (local chains) here in San Antonio. If you ever get a chance to come here, please check out these guys. They're affordable and for your money, worth it. Yes, there are some really good stuff out there as well, but these are more affordable. Bill Miller's BBQ, a good selection and won't break the bank. There are two Mexican chains that are also good, Las Palapas and Taco Cabana, some very good budget friendly Mexican food. I got some other great restaurants here, but for what you paying, very good stuff.

    Taco Cabana is all over Houston too.   In my wilder days, this was the goto place at 2am when the bars closed down.   (its 24 hours)

    Not GREAT Tex-Mex, but a significant step up from fast food.
