Finds 1942: Labtec CS-180 Speakers



While doing errands I found this set of speakers and I'm a sucker for them. These are the Labtec CS-180 speakers and still require an AC adapter which is on the way, I still don't know if they work or not. One thing I noticed is that the place that I got them from (Goodwill) charged me for each speaker! Isn't that crazy?? I'm very disappointed in them.

Ads From the Past 477: Super Famicom Prototype


This is a prototype photo of what would be called the Super Famicom in Japan and the Super Nintendo in the United States. It's really amazing to run into these photos which we can archive so everyone else can enjoy it.

Finds 1940: Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 for PS4!


This is the Gamestop exclusive Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 for the PS4. I was able to get this one with the little comic book complete and at a decent deal. It's definitely worth adding to your collection as it's the most expensive version so might be worth keeping it. If you want a cheaper option, definitely check out the Xbox version which is half the price.

Finds 1939: Dragon Quest III HD Remake, Clash at Demonhead, and Cobra B.A.T. Figures!


It's been a while since I gotten something new for the NES, but I couldn't say no to this deal. Clash at Demonhead is an average side scroller that's worth a gameplay but that's about it. Dragon Quest 3 Remake was actually an amazing deal I found on Amazon and was able to add it and currently playing it. The Cobra army keeps growing with more soldiers. I will one day put my entire army together... one day..

Ads From the Past 476: Ys 3 for SNES


A game that has reached over ten entries and still alive to this day is definitely impressive. This game is really cool but I heard that it's average at best. Have you played this RPG?

Ads From the Past 475: Super NES Ad


The Power of Choice ad showcases a lowered price SNES with a bunch of games on the bottom. I'm guessing this ad was released in the later years of the console. I believe they are referring to the console with one controller.

Gamestop has a Buy 2 Get 1 Free on PS4 and Xbox One Games going on right now. I couldn't find any Xbox findings but I did got a couple of PS4 titles for the collection. Another wonderful addition is a game for the Switch called A Space for the Unbound which is really unique! I highly recommend checking it out!

Ads From the Past 474: Software Etc SNES ad


I have always heard of this store but unfortunately was never able to visit one. They are all gone now, but I can only imagine how amazing these stores which specialize on video games were... Have you ever been to Software ETC?

Ads From the Past 473: Toys R' Us Nintendo Ad


This is an awesome ad with crazy prices for different games for the SNES. A lot of Toy stores would do this in order to make the most money. As far as I know, games were only supposed to be sold for 59.99. Would you pay these prices?

You guys better keep your eyes out for Target clearance games. There are some goodies out there. I visited a few and found these so far. I will have to take a look at other stores when I get a chance. It's been some decent deals. I do want to find the other games such as Advance Wars 1 & 2 among others.

Ads From the Past 472: Legend for SNES


Very few of you have probably heard of this game. This is a really cool game for the SNES. If you like beat 'em ups, this is a game for you! Have you played it? Seika was behind such an awesome cult classic.

Ads From the Past 471: Target SNES


This is a really cool ad from Target. It showcases the SNES and other accessories. Was Target really that big in the 90s? Interesting right?

Finds 1935: Karate Kid, Remothered, and Bayonetta + Vanquish


Here are some new additions that I picked up from Gamestop. The Karate Kid Street Rumble was on sale for 19.99 so I'm glad it finally went down from 29.99. Remothered is a horror game which was on sale for 17.99 and I already had the sequel so why not? Finally, Bayonetta + Vanquish is a really cool two game pack which was only 9 bucks. You like any of these?

Windows 95 Skins for Iphone !


This is my new interface on my Iphone. Isn't it awesome? It mimics the Windows 95 icons and interface. I did had to change some icons from scratch such as eBay or Picture this. Otherwise, it's been really cool to change the settings and create shortcuts in order to make it look really vintage! If you want me to upload the package on here, let me know!

Finds 1933: Electronic Gaming Monthly Number 1



Here is the first ever Electronic Gaming Monthly issue! I was able to get a really good deal on this one and just always wanted it because of the iconic cover and also because I used to love Electronic Gaming Monthly back in my childhood. I was also hooked on EGM2! Those were the days....
