I have been hitting the local thrift stores quite a bit lately, which I tend to do more when the weather is more climate. We have had an amazingly warm and early spring for my neck of the woods, and I have been finding some pretty great stuff in the wild. See for yourself! This [...]

Rad Find!
Posted in finds, News and Updates, tagged ac adaptor, controller, deadly gets, finds, snes on March 2, 2012 | 2 Comments »
It’s not often you see these in the wild, especially the 1st party SNES power adaptor. Great price, great find. The thrift stores have been relatively fruitless as of late, so this was a breath of fresh air. It’s been a slow week, I know, but in the last 4 days it was my 30th (yikes!) birthday [...]

I have been waiting to get my hands on one of these things since I first saw it demoed at E3 last year. The portable Super Nintendo has long been a dream of mine, and many other video game fans. Sure, there was that FC-16, but from most accounts I saw it was kind of [...]

I have been getting lots of deals lately, especially (and strangly) in the wild. I though I would make a post that covers the last few weeks. Again, I didn’t pay much for any of these, and the money that I did pay I got mostly with trade credit. Ys Seven collector’s edition (PSP) – [...]

This is a collection of gets from the past few weeks mostly. I have been getting a lot of crazy good deals lately… I didn’t spend more than $5 on any one of these games… so I am ready to call that a victory. We begin with my old mistress, the Famicom; Ikki is a [...]

I have been on a big Super Nintendo kick over the last few months. I have always loved the SNES, but I have mostly been in it for the RPGs, so to speak. I have resolved to start filling in the gaps in my collection and I must say is that it’s going very well [...]

I have quite a bit of stuff to go through, so this will be just the first of any “finds” type posts over the next week or two. Let us begin! I found this copy of Darkseed in a local junk store. It set me back a whole $3.99. I nearly paid up to $30 [...]
