Rescued a few things from my parent's house this weekend. This is the setup in the basement. Their house has seen better days.   If you look closely there are two NES's on the right of the TV. The black one is the one I'd left behind when I moved out. The ordinary grey one my aunt dropped off a few days prior, since it'd just been gathering dust in her closet.   Yeesh, this closet is a huge mess. Time to rescue some of this stuff. I spent a few hours on Friday night counting and cataloging the contents of the cabinet, and took home anything with a lot of monetary or sentimental value, or that would likely never see use at my folks' house. Grand total was 139 NES games and 53 SNES games So what did I take home? Well, a bunch of controllers to begin with.  Not much to say about the Advantage or the Super Game Boy. I actually had two of the latter, so I left one there. The Sansui Joycard in the upper left is a bit of an odd duck: a controller with a headphone jack. Other than that it's a pretty typical controller with a couple of turbo switches. The banana shaped thing? I forget it's actual name but it was manufactured by Quickshot, presumably for flight sim games. It's awkward to handle and I've probably only ever used it twice at most. Then there's the Turbo Touch 360. The d-pad is touch sensitive. Not a bad idea but it's a bitch trying to press down on just one direction at a time, and the pad is sensitive enough that if some part of your thumb hovers over an area, that area activates. Bleah. Dad and I went out to breakfast on Saturday and did a little shopping. I got the following bunch of games at Savers, along with a copy of NHL 95 for the Genesis.  Now, I didn't technically need the zapper. It turned out that there were two in the cabinet; the one I'd already been using and the one pictured below.  I don't even remember buying this. It's still in the original plastic and has definitely never been used. Couldn't bear to take it out of the box, so that one at Savers was a godsend. As for games...  The holy quadrology. For some reason DW4 has two manuals. I also have a spare manual for Ghost Lion if anyone wants it. The catch is that you have to admit to owning Ghost Lion.  A heap of RPGs and DK3.  Lots of good stuff. The prices that Chubby Cherub and Metal Storm are going for on Amazon surprised me. Chubby is a pretty mediocre side scroller, and while Metal Storm is a pretty nifty game for introducing a new play mechanic (the gravity switcheroo) and had some pretty impressive graphics, I never remember hearing much hype surrounding it. It's also pretty hard. IIRC I've never made it past the 5th stage.  Everything that was still in the original box, including   The Motherload. This is just about everything that was still in its original box. Run Saber is another one that I didn't expect to be going for the prices it is, though I think I can understand why. It's easy to pick up and is a pretty awesome game with loads of fun bosses. It's short and kind of easy but a blast to play. Now I need to buy a SNES for my house. In other news I just cannot get the cigarette stink out of the roadside TV I picked up, even after wiping it down with grill cleaner, so that's going out next trash day. On the plus side even the highest end CRTs are going for dirt cheap these days so my wife gave me the go ahead to just buy one.

I picked up an original Xbox a few days ago for 30 bucks while I was out, I'm guessing a 1.4. Does anyone know what the best connection for it would be? I've heard the Xbox has VGA support, but I'm not really sure how that would work.

Thinking of grabbing this TV but it looks alot different than what the rest of you Trinitron club members have. It is the perfect fit for my entertainment center and has decent inputs (my current TV only has RF in) http://atlanta.craigslist.org/nat/ele/3652379343.html Anyone know if it's a decent TV?

It is the perfect fit for my entertainment center and has decent inputs (my current TV only has RF in) I was looking at the same model (or a very similar one) last week at a consignment shop. $25 but decided against it because I just don't have room for a giant TV  I can't really speak for picture quality, but it was certainly built well. I'd say go for it as long as you can test it and nothing seems wrong.

In short, you can wait out a better TV for free.

What's special about the Trinitron? Everyone here seems to have one, but I googled and can't tell what makes them different from any other 90s CRT.

I shouldn't have bought this (I don't own a Master System) but...  Almost all of this games don't seem to be played, and some of them have a little seal on the side. Fantasy Zone, Alex Kidd, Columns and R-type still have their original plastic wrap. It's there even a market for Master System games? Lencho fucked around with this message at 08:02 on Apr 3, 2013 |

I don't have one since my retro gaming TV (a small Sanyo CRT) works just fine, so I don't plan on switching it out until I start seeing smoke coming out of the back.

As mentioned they have very good picture quality, however they're also known for their longevity, even under some poor conditions, as long as you don't get an XBR model. (Those ones are prone to having the circuitry die very easily.)

I somehow ended up with a pretty complete collection of Michael Jackson related videogames.  I've been on a real Sega binge lately. Previously, my collection leaned heavily towards Nintendo, but I recently picked up a Sega Master System and it's been a lot of fun to collect for. I didn't own a master system as a kid and only know one person who did, but since my first console was a Game Gear, it's bringing back some memories. I've been enjoying Alex Kidd, Shinobi, R-Type, Fantasy Zone II and Time Soldiers and am currently awaiting copies of Sonic 1 and 2 to arrive from the UK, which cost me practically nothing even though they are uncommon in the US. Admittedly, there don't seem to be all that many standout games for the master system; it's home to a lot of ports that can be better played on other hardware now. I'll probably pick up Phantasy Star at some point because it's pretty much THE game the console is famous for, but so far I can't find it for a price I want to pay.

Ah, my AV scart cable for the NES finally arrived. Now I can be crap at Mega Man while actually seeing what is going on!  It's composite of course, but that's still a million times better than the lovely old RF connector I had.

Lencho posted:I shouldn't have bought this (I don't own a Master System) but... I'm jealous. Where'd you get all of this? As far as the market for the SMS goes, yep, pretty much what JJJJJS said. It's at this sort of odd sweet spot because they only sold about 2 million consoles, so there aren't a whole lot of people getting nostalgic for one, but games are fairly cheap and easy to find. It's a great system if you put the original controller aside and plug in a Genesis one. Looking back, I wonder if the lacking artwork on Master System games and cases has contributed to nobody remembering it. Nintendo's boxes and labels were often colorful and eye-catching. Sega went with this blah "pictures on top of graph paper" design and had no game label artwork, so even though the games are generally good there's nothing to display.

That was Tonka's, the company responsible for those steel toy dump trucks. They had the rights to handle the distribution of the Master System in the US and that hideous packaging is what they came up with.

I love my Trinitron but it's forever turned me into a Trintron guy. Was at my wife's grandpa's place for Easter this weekend and couldn't help but notice he had a 40,000in Trinitron sitting in his living room. I could fit about...an infinite amount of my 13" ones in there.
