Finds 2070: Silent Hill 2, Back to the Future, and Wheel of Fortune 2nd Edition

New Finds: Time Travel, Terror, and a Classic Game Show

Every collector knows that some pickup days are simply better than others, and this latest haul brought together an interesting mix of modern horror, Hollywood nostalgia, and classic PC gaming. It's not often that a single shopping trip includes a PlayStation 5 horror masterpiece, a beloved film trilogy, and a vintage CD-ROM game, but that's exactly what made this batch so much fun.

Back to the Future: The Complete Trilogy (Blu-ray)

One of the highlights of the haul is Back to the Future: The Complete Trilogy on Blu-ray. Released as a collection in 2010 to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the original film, this set includes all three movies starring Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd.

The trilogy remains one of the most beloved science fiction franchises ever made. Directed by Robert Zemeckis and produced by Steven Spielberg, the films perfectly blend comedy, adventure, and time travel into an unforgettable experience. The Blu-ray release also includes a variety of bonus features, making it a great addition for both movie fans and collectors.

Whether you're revisiting Hill Valley or introducing the series to someone new, this collection is always worth owning.

Silent Hill 2 (PlayStation 5)

The newest game in this pickup is the PlayStation 5 remake of Silent Hill 2, released in October 2024. Developed by Bloober Team and published by Konami, the remake modernizes one of the greatest psychological horror games ever created.

While the original 2001 PlayStation 2 version became a legendary survival horror title, the remake updates the visuals, controls, and gameplay while staying faithful to the haunting story of James Sunderland's journey into the fog-covered town of Silent Hill.

For horror fans, this is considered one of the must-play releases of the current console generation.

Wheel of Fortune: 2nd Edition (PC CD-ROM)

Rounding out the haul is Wheel of Fortune: 2nd Edition for PC, a fun piece of late-1990s PC gaming history.

Published by Hasbro Interactive, this edition lets players compete in America's favorite television game show from the comfort of their home computer. Featuring digitized hosts, authentic puzzles, and multiplayer support, it captured much of the feel of the television series during the CD-ROM era.

Games like this were incredibly popular during the late 1990s as publishers adapted television game shows into family-friendly computer entertainment. Today, they're enjoyable nostalgia pieces and make excellent additions to any vintage software collection.

A Collection That Spans Decades

What makes this haul especially enjoyable is the variety it represents:

• A timeless science fiction film trilogy.
• A modern survival horror masterpiece.
• A nostalgic PC game from the golden age of CD-ROM software.

From the late 1990s to today's cutting-edge gaming hardware, these additions showcase how entertainment has evolved while reminding us why collecting remains such a rewarding hobby. Whether it's preserving classic software, revisiting iconic films, or experiencing modern remakes of legendary games, every new addition helps tell the larger story of gaming and pop culture history.

This was definitely a successful day of collecting, and all three items have earned a welcome place on the shelf.

This has been something that I've been waiting for years! The Spanish dub of Liveman which is a Sentai series that was aired in Peru and other parts of Latin america I'm sure. This is part of my childhood and it's such a blast to watch the entire series again. I loved it so much that I'm going to cosplay as the leader Red Falcon!

Finds 805: Comix Zone and Others!

Here is a little pick up I had. Lots of good stuff and a very odd foreign Atari Clone. I need to find a converter for the power source or it might blow up once it's plugged in. Apparently, it comes with over 70 built in games. I'm really curious as to see what they are.

Finds 511: Castle of Deceit and a Gallore of Gaming Goodness!

 Here are my hauls from my last hunt to the flea market. There is a lot of love! Lets check it out!

Here are some interesting items. The Wizard on DVD is finally mine! I normally don't buy DVDs but when they are based on video games, I have to have them! There are also two guides for two awesome RPG games which are Chrono Cross and Saga Frontier. The Atari 2600 I'm not even sure why I bought it. It's just taking up space.... bleh

I got one of these to fix my CDs and DVDs! I can't say enough of how much I missed having one of these. I also picked up those two action figures for my set.

Here is a whole line up of gaming goodness. I picked all of these for 20 bucks! Yeah, there is a little bit of everything including Grandia 2, Sonic Adventure, and Sword of Bezerk. Too many games to mention...Oh yeah, there is also that Xbox 360 camera I picked up for a mere three dollars.

Here are some Genesis games that are going to be sacrificed to make something amazing out of them well except the Sonic Workshop game and the Batman and Robin game, those I'm keeping. I got them all for 20 bucks while the PS2 Network adapter was five bucks and the memory card for the cube was two bucks.

Finally, here is the best find of the hunt. I picked up Castle of Deceit for a mere five bucks without knowing how valuable it really is. I always pick up pirate/unlicensed stuff so this time around, it came in handy! I also picked up Ghoul School and Maniac Mansion for five bucks a piece. These finds made my day! It was a successful hunt after all.

Finds 478: I'm Gonna to Wreck it!

So I got these last week. Wreck it Ralph was a must have right away and I went all out to find the Ultimate Collection. These are actually the first ever blue-ray movies I've ever purchase. The thing is, I'm not really into movies but I think it's something I'm going to be pursuing in the future. The other movie is Godzilla vs some monster. I haven't been able to put Wreck it Ralph down especially with all the other extras it comes with. I gotta say, the movie still makes me cry every time! Can you believe it? Also, believe it or not, there is a sequel in the works! It's definitely not the last time we will see a movie based on the wonderful world of video games. Good times ahead ^_^
