Here's some info on the titles in case you need it: - The 8th cd in the fist picture (with the bearded man in orange robes) is a VCD which has the title "Divya Yog Sadhna" written in Hindi. It's by a famous personality named 'Baba' Ram Dev (the man in the picture) and is basically the same disc as this listing: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/264269757045 - The 4th cd in the second picture is the soundtrack for the movie 'Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro' starring Naseeruddin Shah https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaane_Bhi_Do_Yaaro - The 3rd cd in the third picture is a DVD of a classic 60's movie 'Sangam' starring Raj Kapoor https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sangam_(1964_Hindi_film) - The 4th cd in the third picture is a DVD of a vintage 50's movie 'Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chalti_Ka_Naam_Gaadi - The 5th cd in the third picture is an oddball DVD about Vedic (Indian classical) math. - The 1st cd in the sixth picture is a DVD of the movie 'Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro' starring Naseeruddin Shah https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaane_Bhi_Do_Yaaro - The 3rd cd in the sixth picture is a DVD on 90's actress Urmila Mantondkar https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urmila_Matondkar - The 4th cd in the sixth picture is a DVD of the movie 'Anand' starring legendary actor Amitabh Bachchan https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anand_(1971_film) Good Luck!

bowser | 598 Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Some of the Indian DVDs might actually be bootlegs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiamiSlice | 3,095 Posted January 21, 2022 Author Share Posted January 21, 2022 Just ordered this: https://www.nordstrom.com/s/arcade1up-atari-tempest-legacy-edition-full-size-arcade-cabinet/6506411 Have not been interested in most of the Arcade1Up cabs and never at retail price. But I did get the Galaga countercade for $49.99 last year in a Walmart clearance sale and have been happy with that. This Atari one is a unit that I've had my eye on for quite a while, because it has a nice spinner & trackball. Most arcade games I really don't need a cabinet to enjoy them, if I have a home console port with maybe an extra peripheral like an arcade stick or something like that then to me I get the same experience. But when it comes to spinners and trackballs it seems like the only option is to build your own. Don't know why. Anyway I'm obsessed with Tempest and felt like this cab is worth it to have that faithfully reproduced along with some other games I enjoy including Centipede. For 40% off it was time to pull the trigger! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The blank case has Imagine Babies. OK this is gonna sound crazy. I've had Petz Wild Animals Dolphinz in my junk pile for 9 months now because it was missing the trading cards it was supposed to come with. Well today I happen to be looking through Puppy Palace and there behind the manual it's the cards from Dolphinz! For some weird reason I do not understand, they somehow made their way into the wrong case. But the point is that I finally have Petz Wild Animals Dolphinz with the cards! Woo!

I wouldn't mind grabbing the Turtles, Simpsons, or X-Men cab, but they don't fit in anywhere in my current setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiamiSlice | 3,095 Posted January 23, 2022 Author Share Posted January 23, 2022 After a long time of searching and searching and getting nowhere, I finally found a loose disc at a good price to make this complete! Except apparently there’s also an art card that I’m missing… this was my brother’s and I have no idea how he managed to lose both the disc and the art card but whatever! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiamiSlice | 3,095 Posted January 24, 2022 Author Share Posted January 24, 2022 Have always wanted more retail displays… finally found this one at Costco unused, on its way to the trash! VHS for scale. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiamiSlice | 3,095 Posted January 26, 2022 Author Share Posted January 26, 2022 Finally a decent local find! Got all this for $30 via FB Marketplace photo is from the seller, easier than me trying to take one! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiamiSlice | 3,095 Posted January 28, 2022 Author Share Posted January 28, 2022 My mom found this in a box of old books! I keep telling her there’s probably more of my old stuff in her old boxes… just have to keep digging! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiamiSlice | 3,095 Posted January 28, 2022 Author Share Posted January 28, 2022 Never thought I’d get a decent price on one of these! And it’s mint aside from the sticker which I can easily remove 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki | 4,933 Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Need a drool icon for that one, nice job. I miss having all 4 of those complete, imported them from the UK when they came out. I did eventually re-acquire the 4 again, loose though, prices are nauseating especially on 1 and 4 (really 4.) Good luck if you want the whole lot, it's worth it, but ouch. See if you can get #3 at least, that has Twinbee but also the only legal english translation of Goemon from the system too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiamiSlice | 3,095 Posted January 29, 2022 Author Share Posted January 29, 2022 Found a weird FB marketplace listing… $10 + shipping for sealed copies of Happy Feet on GameCube and Wii, plus the listing said some free games would be thrown in. So I said why not, this could be fun. Here’s what arrived: The two titles as promised… don’t know if the seals are authentic but at a glance they look correct. This pair of PC games which appear to be complete. And… uh… a bunch of PS2 ROMs and a bootleg PAL region PS2 game? Fun! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also on that other post, nice one, I used to have that Konami package, if you haven't opened it yet, it's disappointing what little is in there. I'd almost argue to keep it sealed up and just grab the pre-fixed for modern PCs GOG release as it's often on sale and even when not (since konami is cheap it's a slight one) for around just under $5 and default is $6. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanooki | 4,933 Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Well if I remember right what you'll find is the yellowish disc, a single color page thing about the game, and the disc is in a while windowed sleeve. If you have that, you're set. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiamiSlice | 3,095 Posted January 29, 2022 Author Share Posted January 29, 2022 Here’s another recent haul, this one via Reddit. A gently used, complete pair of Classic Minis plus the carrying case and an extra 3rd party controller, all for $150 shipped. Since these are out of print I like to pick them up anywhere close to original retail price if I can. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiamiSlice | 3,095 Posted February 12, 2022 Author Share Posted February 12, 2022 Got this pile of DS games from eBay for $104.84 with tax and shipping: I don't think it was a good haul though, some of the games have wavy cover art or creased manuals. And everything needs cleaning. Oh well, can't win em all. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiamiSlice | 3,095 Posted February 27, 2022 Author Share Posted February 27, 2022 Had kinda given up hope on finding this one, hadn't seen it pop up on eBay like... ever. Then out of the blue my eBay search has a new listing and it's a seller with a whole stack of these selling them at a nice price. Pinkalicious with stylus and screen cleaner! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiamiSlice | 3,095 Posted April 5, 2022 Author Share Posted April 5, 2022 I haven't posted any hunts in a while because I haven't found any in a while, but I finally have a couple cool finds. First is "Nintendo Power Summer Games," one of the more obscure bonus issues. I paid about $30 for this on eBay: Second is the Play It Sound Soundtrack CD, I got this in a trade with @avatar!: That's all for now! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki | 4,933 Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 @MiamiSlice CD looks familiar. That is seriously a very solid CD to get if you're a fan of SNES games that were Nintendo IP. Shame they never did a volume 2 or more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
