socrates63 Posted November 19, 2020 Report Share Posted November 19, 2020 The junk box arrived yesterday from @chas10e. It is heavy and bulging! Good thing it's a flat rate box. I can't believe some of the stuff that's in it. It's going to be tricky to figure out how to make room to fit in my stuff. @RickR I plan to send it your way tomorrow. And @HDN your box will go out tomorrow when I ship this one back to Rick. Thanks for waiting and sorry for keeping you waiting, but I wanted you to wait as long as I did 😄 That was part of my reasoning for not shipping it to you sooner.

RickR Posted November 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2020 Don't forget to take pictures of what you took out (and post them here), and also take pictures of what you put in (and post them at end of the box's journey).

This is a very nice thing you're doing here. I don't mind the wait and never really did. I was only kidding when I said this unopened box here was torture! Thank you very much. I appreciate it.

socrates63 Posted November 20, 2020 Report Share Posted November 20, 2020 Ok, here's what I took out. Even with what I took out, I still couldn't fit in a few things, so I'll save those for the next time. The box is leaving the house with a slightly bigger bulge than when it arrived -- kinda like mah belly after dinner I've been reconnecting with some 80s movies lately, so it's good to have these DVDs. I now have NES and N64 cartridges in the collection 🙃 Maybe I'll get the consoles later 😋 HDN, TrekMD, nosweargamer and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've yet to see SMB: The Movie, but both The Wizard and Cloak & Dagger make for good popcorn flicks. These junk boxes also have a way in helping people start new collections! I know I've gotten games before for system I wouldn't get until later. Well, most of my stuff has been taken, except for a few things, so it'll be fun to see what Rick gets when the box returns to him!

I'm going to have go over the stuff and try to guess what you put in there for me <SPOILER ALERT> -- Skip if you really do want to guess. Frankly, I tend to forget what I put in without reviewing the pictures I took...but I'm pretty sure you said you needed Genesis and SNES stuff (other members mentioned these systems too). A lot of that stuff got taken earlier (which is great!), but I think at least a few titles made it through. I try not to include sports games unless I think they are really good ones. But I did include NBA Jam as I thought you'd have fun comparing to your favorite SNES version. Madden for SNES is another one I put in, as I really do like that game a lot. And I'm pretty sure I included a Great Golf in hopes that NSG would review it. So please, don't throw sports equipment at me for the sports games -- there was method to my madness. nosweargamer and socrates63 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socrates63 Posted November 20, 2020 Report Share Posted November 20, 2020 Ha! Thanks for the spoiler alert @RickR. I stopped reading and went back to guess. I figured you'd have put some Genesis and SNES in the box 🙂 NBA Jam was the one specific game that made me think it may have come from you for me 👍 Thanks for Madden. Maybe I can learn to play it on these older consoles because the versions for the modern consoles are too hard for this old 🧠 nosweargamer and Atari Creep 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too. This version is awesome because the games go quickly (like an Atari game) and the running game actually works. Plus we can pick the Seahawks.

I only had to repack the box once and that was for the photo-shoot of what I put in. although I did have a practice box before @Atari Creep showed up. I did require for him to have the box sealed specifically for the "mental anguish" aspect of the exercise. we also had a great laugh on the phone about what you find on the floor AFTER you seal the box. How many time did you pack & repack the box ? What numbers are the @nosweargamer 's card packs ? I almost passed on the one I grabbed not being any kind of sports fan. but opened it up and had other great cards in there that I wasn't expecting. I did smell the cards & they didn't smell like the bubble-gum that was included. It's been quite awhile since I opened a pack of cards, is smelling the cards still "a thing"? I'm looking forward to @RickR receiving it to see what gets thrown at him. socrates63, Atari Creep and RickR 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socrates63 Posted November 20, 2020 Report Share Posted November 20, 2020 @chas10e I kept #14 and sent #15 to Harry. Chewing Bazooka Joe is a thing but smelling? Not sure about that one 🤔 I packed and unpacked three times. For the final pack up, my wife had to help me tape up the box because it was going to pop. I love your typed note, by the way -- an actual typewriter 👍 👍 ❤️ chas10e, RickR and Atari Creep 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nosweargamer Posted November 21, 2020 Report Share Posted November 21, 2020 I'm sure cards had more of a smell when sealed with an unwrapped piece of gum, but that has long been done away with and my included Bazooka Joe bubble gum is wrapped, so the smell doesn't get attached as easily to the cards. And yes, while about half of the cards are typically 80's & 90's baseball and football cards, the other half are usually non sports cards from tv shows, movies, games and more. As a matter of fact, I think at least one of my recently made packs includes a temporary tattoo and one contains a sticker card, although I don't know which pack those are or if those packs made it in the box or not. socrates63 and RickR 2 Quote The No Swear Gamer on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChtJuo040EOCTVziObIgVcg Host of The Atari 7800 Game by Game Podcast on iTunes, Stitcher and YouTube Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm excited to get my own NSG card pack. Thanks for including enough packs for everyone @nosweargamer! I collected some sports cards in the early 80s. If I remember correctly, my most valuable card was Dave Winfield... it's amazing that I still remember something so useless for nearly 40 years.

HDN Posted November 23, 2020 Report Share Posted November 23, 2020 WOW!!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH @socrates63!!! You really didn’t have to do this. Thank you so much! This is AMAZING! Young here has really helped my collection grow! These are all excellent titles! I am especially excited for Adventure (the one with the missing label), which I could never find for a reasonable price at my local store, and Flag Capture, which isn’t terribly expensive but I could never find it at the store. I am also really excited to play Super Pac-Man! My first 7800 Homebrew. I really enjoy Super Pac-Man, and I am looking forward to seeing what they did with this version. And the handheld is very nice too! From watching @nosweargamer’s video a while back it doesn’t look too fun, but I’m glad to have it as a bit of a “movie prop”. The NSG card pack will be interesting to open, and the Creep pin is also really cool. It’s awesome to have these things from YouTubers that I watch regularly. Pink Gorilla! As a watcher of Metal Jesus, this is also kind of trippy for me to actually have! I’ve heard they’re a pretty good store. Good enough to make hats at least. This is good timing as I can’t seem to find my winter hat anywhere... I didn’t know there was a Prince of Persia movie! This ornament will be proudly hung on my mini-tree in my room. And lastly... the item that was in the mystery box! This thing has sat there for a month now, just begging to be opened. Turns out it was CIB Gravitar! Another game I wanted to get. This is my first red-labeled game. Honestly, Young, I can’t thank you enough! Next year I will have to fully participate in the box now that I have a job.

socrates63 Posted November 23, 2020 Report Share Posted November 23, 2020 Sorry the loose 2600 cartridges weren't in better shape, Harry. I gave your list of 2600 games to a local gamer, and this is what he came back with. Price was very good though. You can upgrade to better condition ones later and trade or give these away later 🙂 If you ever visit Pink Gorilla, be sure to wear the beanie for a 20% discount on used games on Fridays. I believe the discount is 10% on all other days. My PG t-shirt has paid for itself a few times over. I'm glad to have passed on some goodies from the junk box. My eyes are too old for tiny screens and handhelds 🤣 so that Coleco went to you. Since you and I have yet to win a NSG card pack drawing, well, we now have our own 🙃 When I saw the PoP Christmas ornament, I thought about you and your tree, so I had to grab it. I haven't seen the movie either. HDN and nosweargamer 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
