I believe he made a small run, something like eight. Not sure if he meant eight sets or eight each. I check the group from time to time via my wife’s Facebook account. I always miss stuff. This is literally the third item I’ve purchased from someone in the group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickR Posted August 17 Author Report Share Posted August 17 This one is silly, but it spoke to me. Arcade1Up Giant Atari Joystick. I've heard these are terrible. No matter. If anything, it makes an awesome game room decoration. socrates63, Smell Dawg, MaximumRD and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrekMD Posted August 19 Report Share Posted August 19 This arrived today! My Nomad did not have a box and I was able to get this reproduction box. It's supposed to be "damaged" and it cost 1/2 the price for that reason. The "damage" is a slight crease on one of the side tabs that you may notice when you open the box.

sramirez2008 Posted August 27 Report Share Posted August 27 (edited) I had this arrive today as well. The Ghostbusters Ultimate Edition box art is excellent. This is a really nice CIB.

TrekMD Posted August 27 Report Share Posted August 27 It sure is! Great job done on it. I'm waiting for some boxes as well. I'll post those when I get them, including one for the Rocky & Bullwinkle game. 🙂 sramirez2008 and RickR 2 Quote 🖖 Going to the final frontier, gaming...

Smell Dawg Posted August 28 Report Share Posted August 28 Several new arrivals throughout the past week or so! "Solar Storm" is turning out to be a great time - love the shooter/paddle combination. "Fathom" makes me feel dumb but I love the concept and execution - it strikes me as a more-challenging "Aquaventure" on first impression. "Fatal Run" and "Ninja Golf" 7800 reprints need no introduction, ha. "Drake of the 99 Dragons" caught my eye - looks like an action game trying to emulate a graphic-novel-type of approach, and yet still in a 3D environment. Could be great, could be... not great... but it certainly seems to have its own style. Picked up "Iron Phoenix" on the cheap - while the core game seems pretty dry, it sounds like there's a bit more depth on the single player side. "Pirates: The Legend of Black Kat" reminds me of Bethesda's own Xbox pirate-y game (which was great and super-overlooked, by the way); features include both land and naval combat which certainly pique interest! "Twisted Metal III" is solely a nostalgia pickup as a title that my brother and I played entirely too much. To this day, I've never tried any of the highly acclaimed "God of War" titles - and this 3rd installment to the series was only a few dollars. Admittedly, I thought I was buying the first installment... oops... Ah well! sramirez2008, TrekMD and RickR 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sramirez2008 Posted August 28 Report Share Posted August 28 I present to you... The Arcade "Joystick" by Suzo. I'm a sucker for micro switch controllers and this one is in excellent condition. Seems like it mostly sat in its box, which is also in very good condition. Smell Dawg, RickR and TrekMD 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrossBow Posted August 29 Report Share Posted August 29 (edited) Okay so this skirts the line of non video game related, but I got this specifically for the game room and for gaming so it qualifies I think? Got a new av receiver in last night. It is replacing another Yamaha of nearly the same specs. The difference is that this one isn't 12 years old and supports modern display standards like 4k and hdr that the old one didn't. But it had nearly the same layout on the rear for the inputs and was pretty much the same size although about 10mm taller so I had to adjust the shelves above it. Still some dialing in to do to get everything balanced but it is nice to see the 4k output and hdr finally getting used. The grey box below it is my Extron AV selector that most of the retro consoles connect through and is another main piece of gear needed in my gaming setup.

RickR Posted August 29 Author Report Share Posted August 29 Sweet setup. I'll bet it sounds and looks great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrossBow Posted August 29 Report Share Posted August 29 (edited) 19 minutes ago, RickR said: Sweet setup. I'll bet it sounds and looks great. Yes. An odd thing though, is that the new receiver of course came with a new remote. But there are far fewer buttons on the remote as compared to the old one. As an example, the old remote had dedicated buttons to each input. So I could just push that button and it would switch to that input directly. The new remote, uses an Up / Down button like you would for the volume for the inputs? So you basically have to cycle through them all. Also some of the functions on the new receiver have to be accessed using the remote to pull up the on screen display the receiver creates (Old one didn't do this of course), to access them. Well, on a whim I decided to try and use the old remote with the new receiver. Sure enough, all the functions work and can be accessed directly with the old remote?! So... I guess I'm not 'upgrading' the remote LOL!

RickR Posted August 29 Author Report Share Posted August 29 That is really good to know. My setup is similar, only I'm using a Sony receiver. If I ever upgrade, I will try to stick to the Sony brand for this reason. - Ω - 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
