Finds 1485: Trip to Washington DC and Sarasota Brings Amazing Loot!

This is something that doesn’t happen all the time but I went on vacation to a new destination, a couple actually and had a blast. Not only was I sight seeing but I also got some loot along the way. The games and software were actually really cool and unique in their own way. I just had to get something everywhere I go so there can be new memories made. Overall, lets go through each of these findings!

One can’t forget all the sight seeing I was able to do in the nation’s capital! What a trip!

I got these games in a store called M&M gaming which had a big selection. It was probably the one that had the biggest selection of all the stores I hit. This one was a really cool store and the people were very friendly. They even gave me a discount! That makes you want to go back. So, as usual, I got some obscure PS1 titles which I’m always on the look out as well as a new NES addition to the collection! This one was CIB and it’s one I already have for the Sega Genesis. The Immortal is a really awesome game and quite gory. Definitely check it out if you haven’t.

These right here were gifts from my friend that knows I love old PC stuff and he collects it too so he was kind enough to give me some stuff. The Word Munchers was from a Goodwill store but the rest of them were gifts. Love them!

These two were gotten at a place in DC called Super Bit Games. Their selection was awesome and I was able to pick up a couple of Genesis games that I haven’t run into but heard about them. Robo-Kid and Shove it! Are now part of my collection! 

 Here is another set of games from another game store of the name of M&M Video Games. I was happy to be able to find another Agetec game and this one looks like a basic RPG. The Unholy War was also a game I’ve been looking for a while. Then finally, another big box PS1 game with Extreme Pinball. 

A really quick trip to Goodwill in Sarasota turned out to give me a really cool finding. This is Microsoft Excel for MAC released in 1992. Now, this is kinda obscure because as you may know, Apple and Microsoft are rivals and finding software like this in such an era is rare. Of course, nowadays you can get software from either software giant, but back then, it was a luxury.

 Overall, what an amazing trip with awesome findings. I hope I can hit new places across the country as it’s a lot of fun and get to have great conversation with lots of people. Till next time!

Finds 1484: Famicom Arrival! Legend of the Ghost Lion!

I always loved this game on the NES and was finally able to hunt down a CIB copy of the Famicom release of this game. This game is known as White Lion Densetsu: Pyramid no Kanata Ni which is quite a long name but you get the jest of it. The game is a Zelda style adventure game and quite fun to play through. Definitely check it out if you haven’t! 

Here is the back part of it. The artwork is glorious!

Finds 1482: PS Vita Additions! Beautiful Games!

The PS Vita is getting harder and harder to collect for. I can’t even find them in the wild except for the usual sport titles so it has come to my attention that this handheld needs some love. I have tried eBay a couple of times and have hunted down games that I haven’t seen in stores. It’s a struggle but I believe that I got some good prices for these. Once they go, they will become more sought after and the games are also a lot of fun. I am contemplating on plugging in my PS Vita TV in order to play them on the big screen. I also believe that you can hack it to play every single game on the big screen as some have that touch feature that some games carry, but this patch will override it. Overall, I’m happy to add these to the collection. More loot to come!

Finds 1481: Three Cent Streets of Rage 4? YES!! Plus others!

A little trip to Walmart got me some really cool stuff. First, the Bravely Second was on sale because the box was opened which is something I didn’t know till I was able to check out the case. Then, I also got Streets of Rage 4 which believe it or not was only three cents. You guys should really check out the clearance prices at Walmart as you might get lucky. I believe that Yokai Watch 2 was ten dollars which was another addition. Part 3 of this series is worth a lot of money so I’ll keep looking for it. Eventually, I will get it!

Finds 1480: Another Vintage Laptop Addition! Vintage Hentai?

Here is a new addition I was able to get from the local thrift store. As usual, getting these is a gamble, but I’ve been really lucky on them. I tried out the cable and was happy to announce that it works! The screen is not ideal although you can use an external monitor to get a better view, but it’s really cool overall. It came with Windows 95 and some stuff that I haven’t gotten to. I did see some games on it so we will see what happens. I haven’t updated much of it but I will bring some updates on this new beauty. I have to add the profiles of all my computers I have. Loot!

ID’s Super Mario Bros 3 PC Port Donated to Museum!

These are some pretty awesome news that involves preservation of something unique. The story goes like this, ID software created a demo of Super Mario Bros 3 for the PC and pitched it to Nintendo. Even though Nintendo was quite impressed, they declined the project. The demo was lost forever until some old ID programmers dug it out and showed it off for people to see. I am not sure if there is anything on any video game magazines, as it was in the beginning states of it. There are videos of the gameplay online but no files for us to try it ourselves. However, the demo has been donated to the Strong National Museum of Play which will be preserved in for future generations to learn about of what could have been.

I honestly would’ve loved to seen this come to fruition as you can see the charm of this port of Mario 3. it has a very Commander Keen style graphics as well as gameplay. it’s just a joy to look at. 

For a demo, this has a lot of stuff going in it. If you are in the Rochester, New York area, be sure to visit the Strong National Museum of Play and check it out! It’s really something else!

Here is a new set of findings! I have been really slow with my loot additions but trying to get back on track! This time around, I got a Resident Evil DC for the PS1 which was actually quite surprising to find in the clearance aisle at the local thrift. I also found some software although some of them will go to my friend that's a fanatic of this kind of stuff. I like picking stuff for friends! More to come!
