Well, I talked about a great find for my item 1000 so here it is... before Disgaeniac dies from hype
Though I will say my day started crappy as I literally missed a deal on a Battletoads arcade cabinet by FIFTEEN MINUTES.... Goddammit.
So yeah, I found, on my local Kijiji, a complete in box Magnavox Odyssey, with everything it needs to play (cards, overlays, poker chips, roulette board, cartridges, fake money, cables, controllers)
Pretty happy about this, but THAT'S NOT ALL!
I was putting the Odyssey in my car when the lady comes out of her house and asks me if I'd want an original Xbox with some games because she was gonna throw them away... so she gave me that for free! Which was a big surprise for sure.
The games for the Xbox are:
Mortal Kombat Shaolin Monks
Midway Arcade Treasures 2 (will go well with the MAT1 that I randomly found in my xbox)
Mechassualt 2: Lonewolf - Limited Edition
Ninja Gaiden Black
Conker Live and Reloaded
The Suffering
Blade 2
Thrillville
Jade Empire Limited Edition
All that for 170$ (canadian), which is a lot less than even incomplete Odysseys usually go for (from what I've seen).
I'm pretty happy right now, despite missing that deal on the Battletoads arcade (which is, by the way, a completely different game from the NES version and it kicks all sorts of ass).
So yeah, here's my item 1000!
