Latest Finds

OK, so after finally picking up some new stuff for the first time in a while...I can finally update about it! So I've had a Sega CD model 2 for close to 10 years, but unfortunately the CD spindle broke and fell into the unit...don't ask how this happened...It just did, it was pretty wonky when I got it in the first place. I finally got my hands on a working model 2 unit in mint condition in the box...thank you craigslist people who sell crap loads of games for dirt cheap! Lately there has been a lot of game lots going up for ridiculously cheap and I finally capitalized. Also scored a Genesis Model 1 Box...both boxes are in rough shape, but they will do well in my collection until I find ones in mint condition. I already have 2 Boxes Genesis model 2's in great condition. One is the Sonic 2 box and the other is the Lion King box.

So..on top of those...I scored an official Sega Dreamcast Carrying Case...this made me very happy! A 3rd Party Joystick, what seems to be a turbo switch? and Some games...here are some pictures to make thee happy and maybe a bit jealous..depending on who you are! I love that I'm finding more accessories for the Genny, I have another different 3rd party Joystick and Controller set aside for me by Melanie Z who had another great find. I'm getting closer to doing an Accessory blow out post lol. Either way, here are pics!












So nothing really exciting on the game front, but I feel like I've hit a sand trap in my game collecting. Now that I surpassed the 100 game mark, a lot of the stuff I find in the wild is stuff I have...Even though there is still around 600 more games to collect lol. I just keep running into the same stuff. Even though I have sonic 2, I couldn't pass up the Mega Drive version :).

Find Update

Hey guys. Not a whole lot on the find front for my Sega collection. Lately I've been coming across tons of Nintendo stuff though. My GF is a Nintendo person and has a lot of stuff, but I figured why not start adding to my game room if its the right price...right? Right! So my recent finds have been a N64 with several controllers and games , an SNES model 1 with tons of games and controllers, aaaannddd....a model 2 or mini SNES which I'm pretty stoked that I found out in the wild...and for only $10 bucks! There really hasn't been any major game finds lately or cool oddities, but I will take a picture of the Nintendo lot soon as I wake up a little more and add it. Really hoping to get a house soon so I have room for all my stuff. For those who don't know...I had an apartment loaded with stuff, but decided to move back home to save money for a house...well taking an apartment full of video game and other goodies back to a bedroom..not the best idea lol....we have wallp...

Last Minute Grabs Thanks to Melanie Z!

So after a nice dinner out with 2 of the most awesome people in the world...aka Melanie and Jeff - we went back to their house and Mel decided to unload some of her loose Genesis games to the greater cause! Huzzah! Spiderman/X-Men Mrs Pac-man Rambo 3 Power Rangers: The Movie Toy Story Jurassic Park Batman & Robin Chakan This officially boosts me up to 94 games - 6 away from the 100 mark - but remember, my goal is a completed complete collection, boxed w/manuals. This helps though as you never know when empty boxes will appear. Funny story.... I used to work for Game Crazy (part of Hollywood Video) back about 8 years ago. One day we get an e-mail from corporate saying we are to dump boxes and manuals of duplicate old gen games in order to free up space for newer games. So when the day was over - after nearly coming to tears from dumping a crap load of Genesis/NES/SNES/N64/DC/Saturn cases out in the trash...I went on a little dumpster diving trip :)  - needless t...
