Finds 1587: Sony Trinitron KV-1365

A trip to the thrift store turned to be into a wonderful finding. This is the Sony Trinitron KV-1365 released in 1985, the tiny 13" tv comes with sharp picture and it's great for retro gaming including commodore and atari computers. It's a little wonder to look at as the aesthetics are just beautiful. It has the 80s feel that is unmatched. I got it for ten bucks believe it or not and made room for it in my office. It will be the one playing my NES or Atari 7800. It has a wonderful new home here in my headquarters.

Finds 518: Controller Haul! Final Fantasy 9 is Complete!

 Here are some pick ups from yesterday. They were both from the flea market and thrift store. The sport titles you see are getting used to create better more fun games! Should I explain more? Nah! I also picked up some Playstation controllers for a buddy of mine and some Ascii SNES controllers. I picked up four Gijoe action figures, they were the Cobra soldiers and what not, totally kewl. They are the newer versions but whatever, they look kewl enough so they made the cut. There is also a GBA SP which are always handy, that's about it. Something interesting about the copy of Final Fantasy 9 below!

So at the thrift store I found this copy of Final Fantasy 9 which came with three discs. To my surprise, the disc that was missing was none other than disc 3 which is funny because I found a disc 3 of Final Fantasy 9 last weekend at the flea market. Things like these makes you think, are the video gaming gods watching over you and blessing you with a path to triumph? lol! Maybe that's a little too deep but I was able to complete the four disc set nonetheless! It's a lesson for everyone, always pick up fragments of a game as you might be able to complete them sooner or later! Until next time ^_^

Finds 516: Mario Games, Pokemon Imports, and Then Some!

I went to the thrift store and didn't expected much to find much. In fact, I was just going to get me a couple of PS2 controllers for my friend but ended up finding more than I could imagine. I finally got a copy of Super Smash Bros Brawl for the Wii for a decent price (five bucks) as well as Super Smash Bros for the Cube for the same price. None of the games were too expensive, five tops so I was very happy to pick them up. There were also all of these Pocket Monster import games which is rare to find here in the USA especially in the wild. Furthermore, I also got a couple of N64 games and a sealed PS2 controller for my bud. There was also a Super Puzzle Fighter 2 sealed for the GBA and NHL 94 to make a repro of. That should cover most of it! Successful hunt indeed!
