Awesome stuff Keoni. At one point I really need to pick up an Amiga, if I can find one for cheap.

Those are just cables I picked up for my other systems at home. Certain cables are hard to come by. The power brick is for my sisters laptop. She keeps stealing mine :P

YEah that is why I am relunctant about buying certain older systems sometimes, especially the Atari consoles, because most no longer come with the cables. I even saw a video game store over here trying to sell a Sega Master System with missing cables. That can suck if a parent is buying that thing as a gift.

Loot from the retro fair. Cost me about €95
Nice stuff there! My attention was drawn to the Amiga, the gameboy player (gamecube),life force, and what appears to be a yellow N64 controller cable. Also, can't really tell what the joystick is for. The end kind of looks like an nes controller plug, but i suspect it is for something else. It's hard to tell from that view. I'm think I might get an Amiga someday myself. :D

By the way, I also found a copy of Frantic Flea for the SNES. That game is so weird >.< (I'll need to check online to figure out what to do)

I managed to get the supercom pro1 copy box working. I hooked it up to my XP machine and I played some roms on it. It cannot play some of the newer Hi-rom games and sadly A Link to the Past cannot save its game data. Other games can save though. I installed a new battery because the old one had been removed by the previous owner. There is still a lot of acid on the pcb which I had to take care of.

I played: Contra III, Castlevania IV, Super Turican, Super Punchout. These games all work fine.

That is nice :D, too bad it can't play all games, though.

As for myself, I recently got Double Dragon V and Star Trek Next Generation for the SNES, along with Drakenguard for the PS2. The first was a big mistake, because it happened to be the worst DD game ever x.x. Instead of a beat-em-up platformer, it's just a 1v1 fight game. I didn't try Star Trek yet, though, but considering it costed half of what a box+cart (no manual) copy costs on Ebay, I guess it's fine.

@Keoni: Nice!


@DJ: Never played Double Dragon V. Too bad it only 1vs1. That's like the alternate mode on Double Dragon I. XD

Picked up ICO & Shadow of the Colossus HD Collection for PS3 for $10 at Wal-mart.

Yeah I prefer the other Double Dragon games personally. You can move around and sometimes even jump, while defeating hordes of easier enemies. I don't like fighting games as much because even in easy mode every opponent are like bosses so they're nearly impossible to beat.

Indeed. I really mean games like Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter, Double Dragon 5, Ranma, etc, though, where I can't even beat the 1st guy even in easy mode. I tend to stand Mortal Kombat more, though, since I grew up with it.

On so-called kingsday our country basically becomes one large flea market. I picked up some nice stuff for a very low price.
- €0.20 Some vintage pokemon figurines
- €0.50 Pirate cartridge for gameboy
- €0.50 Pokemon gold
- €2 Death Note manga
- €1 Little 3d Printed makerbot logo (some kids had a 3d printer set up in front of their house and they were selling little plastic models)
- €6 Portable dvd player with battery. It has AV in, so I can use it as a little lcd tv.
- €2 Old air brush. Not sure if it works.
- €20 Nvidia gtx260 graphics card
- €0.50 Some random connectors

Did not find anything super interesting, but it was a good haul nonetheless :)
