Finds 1902: The Cubes are Back! Aztech Media Entertainment Cubes


The Aztech Cubes were a really awesome bargain back in the day. You would get a bunch of CDs with tons of software to explore. Of course, a lot of it was shareware but for people with no money like myself, it was such an awesome bargain. I was able to discover so many games this way and only found years later that there were more in this series of games. 



Here is the back of the cubes. One of them has lots of awesome games while the other one has some beautiful photography collection. It's just awesome!

Finds 1901: Pink Xbox 360 Controller Plus Games


Here are a bunch of nice goodies. The highly for sure is that beautiful Pink Xbox 360 controller. I had to open it up to fix one of the hinges that's opened. I did super glue it the best way possible but there is only so much I can do. The controller does work well and it makes a good display piece. I also got a couple of games including Persona 3, Tenchum and Overlord. Goodies all around!

Finds 1897: Sega Genesis Non TMSS Edition and Donkey Kong Country 3


Here are some new additions! I was able to find another of those 1st run Sega Genesis. Even though the console was dirty, I was able to clean it up and make it look nice. I also got Donkey Kong Country 3 for the SNES. 



If you are wondering how to tell if yours is a 1st run non TMSS edition Sega Genesis, just be sure to check out under the console, if it follows this ID number, then you have yourself a non TMSS version.!

Finds 1896: Gamestop Retro Part Two



Here we go again! Another set of games. I can definitely say that it's more of the same. Disc only games and Bloody Roar won't even work! I am happy to get a couple of good games for reasonable prices but still disc only, what do you think?

Finds 1895: 17" Proview PRO-710CRT Monitor


Picked this up locally from a PC fanatic and gotta say I'm happy with it. I think I'm done getting CRTs for a while. That's mainly due to a lack of space. I know one day I'll have more room for these goodies!

Finds 1894: Gamestop does Retro, How did they do?


I went ahead and ordered some games from Gamestop's online retro section. I have to say, the games are not even in good condition and half of them didn't even worked. I have put requests for replacements so we shall see how that goes. Only one that came with something is G-Darius and that's just the manual. I'm not sure where they are getting their games from but they need to do a better job resurfacing them.
