Look what I found on Facebook last week, and just arrived in the mail today!
12 issues of Nintendo Power, arguably the greatest gaming magazine that ever existed!
There's some great stuff here, like a first look at Ocarina of Time on the N64, speculation on the upcoming Wii, and other gems of Nintendo nostalgia. I can't wait to dig deep into each issue.

Atari 2600 Track & Field - Game and controller!

I don't like to use the term "Holy Grail" because nothing in my collection is really that valuable.  But let's just say this is an item that I've wanted for a long time.  And it is AWESOME.  Atari did a great job with this game and controller.  Too bad it came after the crash.

I picked up this Apple II monitor a few months ago at Goodwill. My dad used to have one just like it, I think.
 
 

Been awhile since I shared my finds with ya'll, and not all of this thrift store stuff, but I didn't know where to post it. Some of it came from Facebook and Toys R Us going out of business sale.
 
From Toys R Us came all those Amiibo figures, the Chibi-Robo Set, and the Xbox 360 King's Quest game, which was much cheaper than $39.99. (I also got a Switch and some games and accessories for it, but that is a post for another day.)
 
The Xbox Duke controller used to belong to my brother.
 
Sword of Mana, Legend of Zelda/Four Swords, Hi Hi Puffy Ami Yumi and Super Mario Advance were Facebook finds.
The Mario Party DS case and manual was Facebook, too.
 
Kung Zhu was from Walmart.
 
Blue Dragon, Mah Jong Quest, Final Fantasy Tactics A2, Sonic & Sega All Stars Racing, Atari Greatest Hits, Ferrari Challenge, Rubik's World, and Super Mario 3D Land all came from Gamestop.
 
Lastly, Record of Agarest War was from Goodwill.

My Goodwill NEVER has Gameboy. I'm so jealous.

Awesome goodwill find today! Got all this for about $15 plus tax.

Posting just for jmjustin.  It's not from a thrift store...but my son found the box for my PSP. 
 
 

I just discovered a short, eight episode mini documentary series on Youtube called 8 Bit Legacy: The Curious History of Video Games, and I just had to share it with you guys. The episodes are all pretty short, usually 6 to 8 minutes, tops, but they are packed with fascinating tidbits of trivia and boasting production values that would make most Youtubers green with envy. In fact, the series was even Emmy nominated.
Stand out bits include interviews with both Nolan Bushnell and Shigeru Miyamoto.
Definitely check this one out.

Whoa... I finally own a valuable piece of gaming history. I feel incredibly lucky, and I plan to hold onto mine. I only wish I had managed to get the pack of extra controller overlays.
 
EDIT: I finally hit 1,000 posts!

I believe the main issue with JPN games is just the difference in the pinouts and PCB boards that were used initially. But yes you can use any of the other regions just fine in most cases. Although there are a few games that were setup for 50hz PAL mode that will play too fast on the US versions. But I don't know which titles that would be. I do know the Sonic games work just fine as does Master of Darkness, but the pricing on these lately has started to climb into ranges I'm not okay with paying for just yet.

I'm also about to sell off the more rare games from my Intellivision collection.  Don't know if anyone here would be interested.  But if so, contact me.  My prices will be pricecharting minus 20%

From kamakazi20012 : a nice N64 and a few bonus Genesis games. THANKS
 

You're welcome! And from RickR I got these...
 

 
Thanks, RickR! Galaxian on the 2600 is not bad...I just don't get why they put that orange border in the game. ??? I'm going to enjoy them all!

Went to my local Goodwill last Sunday, and got a pretty good haul.
From Russia With Love and Fable for the Xbox, Record of Agarest War for the Xbox 360, two Mary Kate and Ashley games for the Playstation, two old PC games, the soundtrack from The Lion King, and also from Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.
Not pictured is a television hookup cable for the original Xbox.

And here are trade items from nosweargamer.  Some very nice rarities for 2600 and Intellivision, and a bunch of extras because Phil is just awesome.  THANK YOU.
 
 

GBA SP is an awesome handheld.
