Finds 1968: Genesis Goodies & G.I. Joe Throwbacks – A Retro Collector's Dream



It’s not every day you come across a lineup this packed with '90s energy. Today’s haul features a triple threat of Sega Genesis classics alongside two battle-ready action figures straight out of G.I. Joe history. Whether you're into 16-bit strategy, brutal racing, or futuristic sports — or just love a good ninja with a spiked mace — this collection is a nostalgic punch to the gut (in the best way possible).

Here’s a breakdown of the awesome retro treasures in this photo:


🕹️ Powerball (Sega Genesis)

Developed by Namco, Powerball is a futuristic hybrid of football, rugby, and something out of an anime sports fantasy. You choose from a roster of global teams and take to the arena in a high-speed, no-holds-barred contest of power and strategy. While it never hit mainstream popularity, this cult classic is beloved by Genesis fans who crave fast-paced arcade action and over-the-top athleticism. The cover alone screams 1990s awesome.


🏍️ Road Rash II (Sega Genesis)

Road Rash II needs no introduction for Genesis veterans. This game perfected the formula of motorcycle racing meets street brawling. It delivered pure adrenaline with its brutal combat, thumping soundtrack, and iconic EA-style gameplay. A classic that still holds up today, and a must-have in any retro collection.


🐉 King’s Bounty (Sega Genesis)

From the era of strategic fantasy games comes King’s Bounty, a deep tactical RPG that laid the groundwork for series like Heroes of Might and Magic. You play a hero exploring the land, raising armies, and collecting magical items to stop an evil threat. It’s a slower-paced, cerebral Genesis experience that rewards planning and exploration — perfect for fantasy enthusiasts who love dragons, maps, and conquest.


🪖 G.I. Joe – Snow Serpent

This arctic Cobra trooper is kitted out in cold-weather gear and fins, ready for sabotage missions in snowy terrain. The Snow Serpent is one of the coolest-looking Cobra figures of the late '80s/early '90s, known for his frosty blue-and-white armor and ski gear. A classic figure that adds some tactical flair to any Joe shelf.


🟢 G.I. Joe – Night Viper

Equipped with night vision and decked out in vibrant green combat armor, the Night Viper was one of Cobra’s elite nighttime operatives. His sleek visor and scoped weapon made him an instant favorite among G.I. Joe fans. Whether you’re sneaking through shadows or guarding your retro game shelf, he’s ready for duty.


This mix of Sega classics and G.I. Joe firepower is the kind of haul that reminds us why we fell in love with this stuff in the first place. Whether it’s for gameplay, collecting, or pure nostalgia, there’s no beating the charm of these ‘80s and ‘90s icons.
