chas10e Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 That guy should be FIRED. at lease shot jk after a long day of doing tech work for a base salary trying to find the power input on a 4 port 5200 whould push ANYONE over the edge. gaming stuff around here is packaged and labeled "Goodwill Certified" with an (inflated IMHO) barcoded price tag examples would be common atari carts for 10 bucks , NES controllers for ten bucks. common NES games for 20 bucks. I think Goodwill has a "better" return policy than Salvation Army. but I'd rather take the gamble & tinker with then thing myself than have their "certification" I suppose it does give people a job , even if they wind up hating it jmjustin6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmjustin6 Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 Todays thrift store finds. Its not often i find genesis games at the thrift store and when i do they are usually loose so happy to have found it. Gamecube games are a must and found a slimer Also found a burger king simpsons watch. I remember having this same watch when it came out. And finally i went to McDonald's today and bought 1 of the super mario toys they have right now. My closest place only had 1 kind of toy and without the happy meal the toy is $2 Rowsdower70, TrekMD, RickR and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeeJ07 Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 Visited a retro game store today. Here's what I got. Virtua Tennis and that perennial Game Boy classic, Tetris.

Rowsdower70 Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 (edited) 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 Edited May 5, 2017 by Rowsdower70 Justin, RickR, Ballblaɀer and 1 other 4 Quote "For you - Rowsdower from the 70 - have been appointed Omnivisioner of the Game Grid." ~ Atari Adventure Square Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickR Posted May 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 HOLY CRAP! You should let her do the looking more often. I'll bet if you were there, you would have done just like me....made an audible gasp and then said "OMG" or something similar...thereby tipping the seller off to jack the price way up. In any case, great job Mrs. S. What a great find. jmjustin6, LeeJ07 and Rowsdower70 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeJ07 Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 (edited) It seems I bought a lemon. Virtua Tennis keeps resetting after I start it up. Any suggestions? Edited May 5, 2017 by LeeJ07 Quote "I'd buy that for a dollar!" -Smash T.V. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickR Posted May 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 Clean the disc really well. Sadly, that's all I have to offer. Soapy water. Dry it off carefully. LeeJ07 and Rowsdower70 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmjustin6 Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 It seems I bought a lemon. Virtua Tennis keeps resetting after I start it up. Any suggestions? Take it back to the retro store. If its like the shop near me they should have a disc cleaner/ resurfacing machine and should do it for you for free Rowsdower70 and LeeJ07 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeJ07 Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 I figured that's what I'll try. The store has a ten day warranty for all games sold, so I'm gonna try to get back there this week and see what can be done. Will keep ya'll updated. Quote "I'd buy that for a dollar!" -Smash T.V.

RickR Posted May 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 2600 items! A joystick (no idea who makes it) that works very nicely. Sssnake (which ssssucks) Sears "Cannon Man".

Human Cannonball is a great name, but Cannon Man is even better. Wow, nice little haul there. I had one of those joysticks (Championship Electronics' Super Champ JC 250) before trading it away -- the retractable cord on that thing is a mile long! I liked it alright, just not enough to keep. Cannon Man is a tough cart to find -- they sometimes sell for $40+ and I'm guessing you paid a fraction of that. Great score.

Really? The whole lot was $15. Cannon Man is in very nice condition. If it's worth that much, I may sell it. Thanks!

jmjustin6 Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 I had one of those sticks, but sadly mine wouldn't go left or right. So it ledt a bad taste in my mouth on thise, but im glad to hear they arent bad after all RickR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowsdower70 Posted May 6, 2017 Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 That Joystick looks a lot like the Tron joystick by M-Network. (Not sure who made it for them.) The base looks identical.
