I was CRAZY about micro machines as a child!!  Especially the big fold-out playsets like that one.

I think that's the original Konami logo from the X68k days, but if I'm wrong I hope someone else will chime in

Yep, that's the really old Konami logo.

I got my Bazzy one, BMW.  Thanks a ton, it's fucking sweet!  She does fantastic work, and I wanna post a pic and make y'all jealous, but it'll have to wait 'til Tatsu gets his.

You might be waiting a while since tats wont let me send him his pile of stuff yet...

I picked these up a couple weeks back but have finally gotten a chance to upload a picture of them. 


2014-01-05 Game Gear Pickup by xcrement5x, on Flickr

10 Game Gear games at a total of $22.  Originally the guy wanted $40 but half the games wouldn't boot on my fully working unit so I convinced him to give me a discount.  Then I spent some time at home cleaning them all up and getting them working.  Glad to finally have a copy of Tails Adventure along with others I was missing at a non-gouge price!

Bust A Move
Sonic Chaos
Tails Adventure
Kawasaki Superbikes
Sonic 2
NBA JAM
VR Troopers
Super Columns
The Lion King
Tom and Jerry

So nice!

Lol, he originally was going to sell them to me for just $20 but I felt bad since I figured I would be able to get them all working eventually with some time cleaning.  I had an extra couple bucks I just gave him to make up for it ;)

Nice!  I just scored a Keio 2 at a pretty reasonable price myself finally, but I still have to wait for it...

[SmaMan]

Been a while since I posted here, but I got me a Famicom Disk System!

It also came with the box! (Not pictured)

Got 5 games with it (pictured right) and it works perfectly with three of them:
Super Mario Bros. 2
Exciting Basket
Famicom Grand Prix

Two of them are giving me problems though...
Moero Twinbee (Boots up and plays fine until it tries to load stage 3, then it error 27's)
Zelda 2 (Doesn't load at all. Error 27's at the boot screen.)

The person I got the system from says he just replaced the belt. So no idea if it's the disk system or the disks themselves. I'm tempted to just buy an extra copy of each to be sure before I risk mangling this thing trying to fix it. Any suggestions?

[Opethian]

its a bitch to get at the bushing that lets you adjust the drive. you need a small allen wrench to adjust it. you can see it turning in the top center of the drive form the front.

There's a really good chance it's the disks themselves, they can (and often will) go bad. You can go here if you want to try having them rewritten: http://www.famicomdisksystem.com/disk-writing-dumping/

nice avatar ApolloBoy!

I used to have a very large SG-1000 collection. Pretty nice system, actually. Quite a bunch of great, but rare, games.

Thanks for the hookup. Sent in the service request. I've actually been reading through this guy's tutorials, so it'll be nice to get an expert's opinion on this.

Riddle of the Sphinx is a good one.  Played that a lot as a kid.  Towering Inferno I never played, but seeing the game makes me want to watch the movie again.

One Atari game I never see and haven't seen picked up is Plaque Attack.  I want to buy a 2600 just for that game.  Nothing special to it, except for the nostalgia factor.

[bob]

and today for 2$ each

[Mathius]

The Keio games have been on my wishlist since I started swimming in the retro pot. I have a friend that has a sealed Keio on the Sega CD and I keep yelling at him to either open it or give it to me lol

[Tatsujin]

after a long long time, i finally can add two new titles to my private PCE collection

[Mathius]

What are those PCE games, Tats? And are they any good?

[GohanX]

Who cares? Boobs.

Picked this up off Craigslist last night.  I have a couple of the games but the big one I wanted was Marvel Vs Capcom 2, I've been trying to find a copy of that in the wild for a long time.  No manual, but the discs are all in amazing shape so the hunt for one is on!  Yet another Dreamcast though, at least this one looks to be in quite nice shape!

Niiiiiiiiiiice, dude! Reminds me how much I want a SuperGun, or JAMMA Console, or custom cabinet, or whatever the heck I'd need to play those.

[Tatsujin]

wow ela..thats one rad PCB. loved to play that in the arcades bitd

how much did that set your wallet back?

@math: VG seems to be a girl date game based on some idol stuff (also some noodies inside), louga II is some strategy/rpg based game with very nice visuals. haven't had the time to fire up both yet.

Never seen that game before. Had to youtube it... and wow!

[yoyo]

A new adapter for my model 1 Sega Genesis actually, haha. When I got it, it came with a third party adapter with two cords, one for the SNES, one for the model 1 Genesis and NES. Well the NES/Genesis bit broke off at the wire (very shoddy wiring job, extremely light and flimsy), and so I figured it'd be more beneficial to have an actual Sega adapter.

Been on a buying halt as I was currently buying a new house. But all moved in and picked up a real classic for my housewarming present to myself





I know the board is toasted, so I'm on the lookout...cabinet is in good cosmetic shape tho

[dingsbums]

@ PunkCryborg

Congrats - Xexex is an awesome game. Just make sure you have a TV / Screen that can handle the oddball sync rate. And watch out for any leakage on the Sound custom (in your picture in the upper left side of the PCB) since these damn customs tend to fail  .
