I want a top-loader because I'm sick of messing with the blinkies on my NES, even after replacing the 72-pin connector. But at the same time, I've heard that it doesn't have A/V hook-ups, which I don't like. Not sure it's worth biting the bullet or not, because they are a bit pricier.

I have both kinds burning, and I must say, I use my toaster primarily. On a HD TV especially, you really do need the A/V ports on the side. The top loader is way more reliable, but on a HD TV the coax connection introduces too much lag for me.

Been meaning to pick up this game for awhile now, so for a late run at the flea market, decided to finally grab it.  I'm curious if the guns and destruction still hold up, because it was so good when it came out.

Do you have your coax input in game mode?  I had to set mine to game mode for every input I game with.

Hmm that's a good question. I'm trying to think of if my TV has that setting. Either way, I haven't had any problem with the A/V outputs on the toaster

You can stop the blinking on an (original) NES by disabling the lock-out chip. All you need is a screwdriver and pliers or wire-cutters.
Funny enough the downgraded 101 was actually an upgrade for Japan. Their 101 had the modern SNES/N64/GCN composite out. The original Famicom only had coax so there was actually a point in getting the "AV" Famicom.

In my opinion it's really not worth getting at market value.  If you can get a decent deal on one... sure. The pluses is that it's physically a lot smaller and it's easier to load games into it. The negative thing is that there's no RCA/composite. Only Coax. (Unless you're talking about the Japanese version) The other issue is that there's basically no easy way to change the 72-pin slot if you ever wanted to. With that said they don't wear much because of its design.

I bought a demo PC CD! ... I know, right?


(Novalogic PC CD sampler - not my pic)

I was looking at some stuff at the flea market when a seller dumped a bunch of stuff that I wanted to buy to resell. The stuff I saw ended up being unsellable, but this was underneath, it's a sampler CD with two demos and a trio of songs by "hot new artists" from Rubber Records. And by "hot new artists" I mean "I have no idea who these guys are."

So this is basically another thing for my oddity collection. It cost me $1 because I told the seller it was a music CD. Which it technically is. XD

I already own this one but for 50 cents with case, CD, and manual I wasn't going to pass it up.



If any Wii owners here want to trade me something for it hit me with a pm. I know it's not worth a lot  but it is a good little game. Willing to trade for something in the same league.

It's the only decent deal I found out at the yard sales today.

Passed on a $50 original Xbox with $10 a piece crap games.

Passed on a Tony Hawk game with board. Passed on numerous sports titles.

Nothing too great this weekend.  For $22 I picked up the following:

GBA SP (onyx) with 6 games
Playstation 1 with 2 games
XBox (Batman Dark Tomorrow and The Stuffering: The Ties that Bind -- loose discs)

Nothing great to speak of, just pretty common titles.  GBA came with F-Zero at least.
