SCORES 7/27-7/30 VIDEO GAME LOVERS! Olde school...

Killer Cox Sandblaster. You have got to love any toy that runs on flamible liquids! I got a few of these for my boys and a couple of the planes. I liked the planes and the Shrike car the best because you could get burned or get a finger choped off. Moms hated these! On a rainy day I could whip any kid on our block at stadium checkers... until we lost half of the marbles. Thanks for posting. Brendan

No problem! I love posting my finds. The Checkers game looks fun! Maybe I need to learn how to play? If I can dig through the junk drawer and find two little green marbles, I'm in the game!


Just thought I would update the video games. The SNES is up and running! Everything works! Game Stop had apparently quit buying Game Boy stuff, I'm NOT happy, because now, should I want to add to my selection I now have to go to eBay. They also don't buy or sell used PC games. I had called that morning and asked if they had a Game Cube AV cable and they said they had a universal, but for $12.99. So I went on eBay bought one for $5.25 shipped, and an original too! I was able to get rid of all the Xbox 360 stuff there, what little I had. I looked around, thinking of either the cash or the store credit and I find and AV cable for a Game Cube-ON THE PEGS! Turns out, as soon as I hanged up the phone, some kid came in with a busted Game Cube and they parted it out (MURPHY'S LAW CLEARLY STATES!). So, since I needed this thing, like now, I went and got it. So for one Xbox PowerPak battery, a Naruto game, and a stray manual, I got a much needed AV cable and a whooping $.17 on card. The positive side is, I now have an AV for the SNES and Game Cube. What is shocking is, this ORIGINAL cable cost $4.99-while a cheap 3rd party cable cost $12.99. What's wrong with this? LOL! I was on the fence to either buy an original AC adaptor, or go with my dad to the RC shop and get a reproduction at a used game store nearby. Well, I needed to test this system, I already had somebody interested in a couple games, so I went for the re pop. Sure, it might have affected the value a little bit, but its all made up considering I have Super Mario RPG and DK Country 3.

The Game Cube was originally going to be sold as parts/repair/not tested. But, I got an AV Cable coming, a game, it has a wireless receiver, its worth taking a gamble. If it works, I can probably get $30 to $50 out of it. All I need is a power cord and a controller for the receiver.

I got one of the Game Gears to fire up, in all its battery eating glory! One is still on my operating table as I figure out how to remove the odd shaped screw on the back.

The Genesis 3 is just really cheap, and in finding the controllers for it, I'm already in what its worth by the time I figure in fees and such. It was a bargain shelf game in 1997 and apparently still is. What can ya say? SEGA had the Saturn then and who wanted a Genesis? Yes, you see less of these than the others, but it is much more stripped down than the previous Genesis systems. I might get a power cord for it. Maybe.

Sadly, the Playstation and the Dreamcast are going to be the only ones probably not getting any TLC. I got the Dreamcast to turn on with a Playstation cord. But honestly, I'd have more into it than it is worth right now. It needs EVERYTHING. The Playstation is still really common, but I have too other complete consoles and a nice, small collection of games, so I'll put it in among it's brothers and sell it that way.

Very cool finds indeed and $30 for the games is a steal !! You can order the cords on line for cheap and most of those are an easy fix job. I love the Sprite bike you really don't see those anymore!!!

The Game Cube's power cord came in and it works good! Now I need to find a Wavebird and I'm good!
