LeeJ07 859 Report post Posted November 3, 2018 (edited) Not Goodwill. This is my modest haul from today's citywide garage sale. DK Bongos for the Gamecube, Fable: The Journey for Xbox 360, and Jade Empire for the Xbox. The white computer-like device on the left is a V-Tech Smart Start Speller from the mid to late '80s. I especially like that faux floppy disk drive it has. The black thing on the right that looks like a calculator is a Unisonic 21 "Jimmy the Greek" Blackjack game/calculator, from 1977. As the picture shows, it still mostly works, but some of the keys appear to be broken. I believe it's now the oldest handheld in my collection.

LeeJ07 859 Report post Posted November 5, 2018 As promised, here is a picture of my great find from earlier today. It's a Coleco Telstar Classic Pong console, CIB, with instruction manual and original power cord. I got the whole thing for just $20. This is the first Pong Console in my collection. No idea yet if it actually works, though. 4 chas10e, RickR, jmjustin6 and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RadioPoultry 399 Report post Posted November 23, 2018 (edited) I found this at Goodwill earlier this month, still sealed: After putting it together, I found it came with this Flappy Bird game already installed: It uses an Arduino Uno microcontroller, which I wasn't familiar with before, but I'm enjoying programming for it. I was hoping to also find some coding projects for this particular kit online, but pretty much all I've found so far are the example projects provided by the company. Right now I'm working on a program inspired by an Apple II game I used to play called "Caverns of Callisto". The 8x8 screen is a bit of a limitation, but that's not about to stop me!

The controller is in pretty good shape. The stick is a little loose (7/10) Edited November 30, 2018 by jmjustin6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kamakazi20012 2,284 Report post Posted November 30, 2018 Sticks are easily replaced and not too terribly expensive. We got lucky...our grape one felt barely used. We use it but we are babying it as much as possible. I'm glad we have the usual standard issue N64 to help keep wear and tear off of the grape model. But you got lucky, too. $20 for any colored N64 is a steal. Might as well used the five finger discount card. LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jmjustin6 2,131 Report post Posted January 28 Goodwill came through again for me today. Awesome find. Sadly it's missing the game. If anyone has the game and case I'd be interested in maybe doing a trade. I've got plenty of stuff 5 Justin, RickR, RadioPoultry and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jmjustin6 2,131 Report post Posted February 2 Another great thrift store day. The disc games were $5 each. The nes were $4 each and mario kart was $10. If anyone needs adventure island or mario kart 64 let me know we can work out a trade 2 RadioPoultry and RickR reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kamakazi20012 2,284 Report post Posted February 2 Dang. Pikmin games alone are not cheap. Great find. I'm always after N64 games since I only have two but I have nothing up for trades and I'm already committed to another item. Still, excellent finds and a Genny complete in box game or not is a rare find. 2 Justin and jmjustin6 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
