jmjustin6 Posted October 11, 2019 Report Share Posted October 11, 2019 Yea same thing happened here last year. The last "Play N' Trade" went out of business here and was sad. It was the only game shop near me. Next one is an hour away. But hey now you have an opportunity to get what you can from the shop. What kind of display stuff do they have? Any system boxes around the store? When play n trade closed I got some lighted signs and like 20 empty console boxes for really cheap! Was so happy, but sad I cant go back and talk games for hours with the manager. But yes I would definitely look into what they have in the shop.

jmjustin6 Posted October 11, 2019 Report Share Posted October 11, 2019 Found me an odyssey 300 at goodwill a couple days ago. Didnt come with the power cable so cant test it. Anyone happen to have one? RickR and Atari Creep 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the kind of place that mostly sells DVD and vinyl, and they have posters and pop culture stuff. And games. Mostly loose games. So for the most part, finding good games was hit and miss, but the prices were always fair. On that Odyssey power adapter, you're gonna have a hard time finding one. Your best bet is to find out the volts and amps and find an aftermarket one. jmjustin6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari 5200 Guy Posted October 11, 2019 Report Share Posted October 11, 2019 (edited) Loose games, good or bad, are always good for trades. Let me know if you find Tunnel Runner for the 2600 there.

jmjustin6 Posted October 11, 2019 Report Share Posted October 11, 2019 Oh ok i thought it was a full on video game store. Well either way it's a shame they are closing. I hope you have another game shop close to you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did grab "Demons to Diamonds" and "Amidar" last time, if you happen to need those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you have another game shop close to you There is a new store that has gone in to one of the locations of the chain that's closing, I haven't been yet because I'm a loser (and too busy). It's called "Sidequest Games" and it's totally game based. I'll go check it out at some point. jmjustin6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickR Posted October 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2019 A very good day yesterday. I found a bunch of good stuff as seen below. Check out this incredible Pac Man record I found. Copyright is 1980. I mostly bought it just for the artwork on the sleeve. Overall, in poor condition, but it will look nice on my game room shelf. The Imagic games were a really lucky find, as I had those two games' boxes in very bad shape and with no plastic insert. So I created my own cardboard inserts and cleaned them up as best I could. And now I've got 5 boxed Imagic titles. StormSurge, jmjustin6, Arenafoot and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice score - too bad you didn't get the generic box it came in too. Really nice Imagic boxes there too!

Atari 5200 Guy Posted October 13, 2019 Report Share Posted October 13, 2019 (edited) Nice finds. I use to have that Pac-Man album when I was a kid. I played that thing to death. Very nice find on the LP. I wonder if it plays at all or if it could be cleaned up to play decent? The album I had was a picture disc that looked like the circle image on the back of the sleeve. I stand corrected. After doing some research the records were different. I did have a Pac-Man album from that company though. Just not the same one LOL.

The sleeve is kind of creased up a bit though, but not too bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought it one time when I was living with my folks a few years back. Fun game. Very detailed for an A2600 game. I like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickR Posted October 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2019 (edited) Today's finds A Tomy robot from the 80's. A breast pump plug that is perfect for the NES. Lol. A PS2 game And a probably-bad plug & play. NOTE to @Arenafoot: They also had Arena Football for PS2, and I almost bought it. But the disk was scratched, and I knew it probably would not work.

LSGreger Posted October 24, 2019 Report Share Posted October 24, 2019 Yeah, those cases alone are worth a lot of money. I think they actually used Pelican cases with precut foam for their rental. Amazing find in the wild! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickR Posted October 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2019 Can I rent your N64? That is an awesome find. It's good that it got into a collector's hands, as I could see someone either junking it or using it for something else if they didn't know what it was.

But I don't care if it works, I think this is an item that will look really nice on a shelf. I just need to spend some time cleaning it up.
