Retro JP's Game Room

So I came across a blue Game Gear locally...finally. Most who know me...know I don't like shopping online as it doesn't have the same thrill I get by coming across a great find out in the wild. Yesterday I was happy when I added these to my collection...note..one isn't a Sega item..but still I think collectors can appreciate it! So now that the blue one is out of the way....I need to still find boxed versions lol...also the other colors including the Coca-Cola Red one! Wish me luck!

        Hey everyone, I know...this is much later than the "up by end of tonight" posted a few days ago. Sorry, life happens! As promised though, here is my ZAMN review! Before we get to that though,  I want to cover some hardware projects I'm taking on soon as my tax refund check gets here. As I said before I have 2 Game Gear units needing a fix. Mine has sound that's pretty much inaudible, and my friend Melanie's has sound , but the picture is all whitewashed looking. I will be finally ordering the components needed to fix those. Also with my multitudes of Genesis model 1's and 2's laying around, I will finally be getting around to modding one with the Crystal Clear Audio mod , as well as do an component connection mod. This should give some nice clear audio and picture. I will make sure I take plenty of pictures showing the process, as well as video so you can see/hear the difference. For now lets get to that review. Box Art M...

Hey guys and girls, small update. I will have a Zombies Ate My Neighbors review going live by end of today. Also, I hope to post some Game Gear repair guides as soon as I get the parts I need. One of my GG's has extremely low sound and the other has a whitewashed screen, but plays sound. I know I promised repair guides a while ago, but I haven't had any systems to repair. I really want to do it right with pictures. Stay tuned!

              Hey fellow Gamers and Collectors, now that I closed up the business for the season, I have plenty of time to game. I been playing my Wii U a lot though, so haven't gotten around to playing my Genesis. No new pick ups except for a mint copy of Evolution 2 for the Dreamcast. Shout out to Melanie for hooking me up with that!       Now that I have more free time and got my 6 foot Genesis controller extension cable in the mail...(I really hate having to be so close to the TV), I can relax in bed and play some games and write some reviews. Also I hope to have a semi-professional HD Camcorder and a nice microphone to do some live stuff which I will post to a youtube page. I know I promised some repair tips and notes, but I haven't had anything to repair...strangely enough (with the exception of the last lot of rusted genesis units) every thing I found recently has worked. I'm going to try to find some non functional units so I...

    Hey Gamers and fellow collectors!!! So finally been able to get out and do some game hunting...needless to say...had the best find I've had in quite some time....thank you Amvets....if only the Salvation Army and Goodwill could give me great finds like these...Anyways...I'll let the pictures do the talking... All these lovely gems for...$21 bucks at Amvets :) worth ...well if I sold these in current condition on ebay I'd bring back at least $100 if I put them up without much other competition on the listings. So I think I'm going to switch my blog over to a webshow now that I will have more time on my hands...thoughts on this? I will have another update soon!

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...

Hey fellow collectors and curious cats! Not much to report - still don't have any space to really work with so I been limited to what I been picking up. However I had a great general find at a garage sale. Got a PS2 - 2 model 1 genesis - 2 model 2 genesis- 1 model 1 Sega CD - 1 Nintendo 64...all for...$20 bucks. Tested the PS2 and cleaned it up and it works all fine and dandy...it's obvious someone had these packed away in their musty basement for years. The 64 works and I haven't had a chance to check the Genesis' yet as I had to clean an area up around my TV lol. Unfortunately the Sega CD unit is missing the front cover, so the insides are showing and are quite dirty...not sure if it works..I'm going to test it anyways because finding model 1 Sega CD units...well...lets say they aren't often found. I figure if it at least powers on, I can clean it up and take the front cover off a dead unit. Also found a Blue Boxed re-release version of Night Trap. The lady ...
