A happy welcome from the old continent! I guess, we're all oldtimers here.

This is from my old house, so this pic is over 10 years old, but here it is.
I built the cabinet and found a TV with super video input. I have it connected to a power outlet that turns on when it senses another machine turn on. And I have the computer inside (still running Windows 98!!!) run off that plug and set to turn on when a key is pressed. I bought the control panel from SlikStik. So when I press any button on the panel, the computer turns on which triggers the TV to come on. It's magic! I have a shortcut on my desktop to turn off the computer, so I track ball to that, double tap it and the whole thing shuts off. I love it. Just played it with a buddy last weekend while cranking 80s tunes and finishing off a bottle of Jack. Fun times.

Apparently Warlock is based on that strange horror movie of the same name.
I always try to stuff as much TMNT in these boxes as I can, I know you, Justin, and NSG are fans

Sallah came to visit the Game Czar today to warn him to stay away from bad dates, and to drop off this great trade from the No Swear Gamer!

I bought that MAD Magazine board game as a kid and absolutely loved it. We still have it, and my kids also loved that one. The one thing that cracks everyone up is that it came with a rock.

I didn't have much of a budget today, but it was all blown before 8am.
Total Spent: $29
Total Value: $91
Not too shabby!
EDIT: Interesting note, most of this was one garage sale, they had 2 XBox 360 systems they wanted $125 each for, Xbox controllers for $15 each, and they wanted 7 bucks each for Xbox games. But they had a Wii for $25 (I ran out of monies), and all the Wii games were $5 each, as were the DS games.
Curious pricing to say the least. I guess they mistakenly thought XBox > Nintendo in value.

This one totally reminded me of something jmjusitin would do! Channeling the great JMJ was kind of fun.
So it was half-price day at Salvation Army, and that means $2 games. I found this one, but sadly, they couldn't find the disc. So the guy just threw it in the garbage can. I said "You're just going to throw it away??? Can I have it?". He said "Sure".
Anyone have a matching disc for this game and manual?

So I'm out with a cold and can't hit up a huge list of garage sales today, but the Mrs. is a trooper and hits a couple before she goes into work.....
She shoots, she scores!
I did manage to snag a complete boxed Colecovision Flashback Dollar General version, and a loose Atari Flashback 2 with controllers yesterday though
