Hey happy Friday!! My birthday is next week dang time flies, here's the haul.
Lil visit to the flint area so we stopped at the game stores and thrifts.
Mandy picked up genso wanderer and witch and the hundred knight 2, and I snagged journey and blops3.
I'm trying to get a Sega Genesis around so I can get the vgs diamond thieves game. I've avoided collecting for it for years, but no real reason why..I haven't played genny since I was a teenager/younger it's been fun so far getting things around looking at games, nice lil taste of nostalgia. I had everything but the power cord, then I realized that the gamegear block would work with the model 2 I have, badda bing. Tried it out and worked just fine but second go around required the cable to be precociously angled.. looks like the solder joints on the power are iffy so gonna have to plop some fresh solder in there and should be great! I have a bunch of original 3 button controllers but I always used a knockoff 6 button from funcoland back in the day, so instead of trying to find that I went for the new retrobit officially licensed release.
The red looks and feels super nice, oem quality, thick cable. Played a little NBA jam and wasn't mad, played just fine. Wired was only 15$ on Amazon for the Genesis and 20$ for usb, there are Bluetooth and 2.4 ghz options as well that look pretty nice around the 30$ mark. Saturn pad is really nice as well, it works natively with the switch and can also switch from d-input or x-input. The r and l switches have a nice click to em and what a lovely d pad.
Short order / eggsplode and power pad bundled for $20 at the local woooo, starfox for $8 and red faction from the thrift for $2.50 missing the manual but haven't seen a cube game thriftin in quite a while.
Finishing up with
Halo Reach controller maybe broken fer $3 (I wanted the shell), gears and halo 3 special editions for 6$ each not bad at all, cod2 ph for $5 and Mario maker 3ds at $10.
That's it for this week
Edit: oh yah I forgot about these!!
@enix2093found these CD protectors on ebay that are pretty great. some demos fit a little snug, a little too snug for sealed stuff but almost perfect all around.
Actually, for oxm subscription demos these have kinda a perfect fit. Here's the post for them if anyone else is looking:
Thank you again enix!!!
