Traded 3 Gameboy games and promo inserts for:
Spider-Man - N64
N64 RF adapter (since my new hdtv will only recoognize the consoles that have disks. Nothing with a cart works, unless I use RF)

some other need for speed, sim city 4, morrowind, hyperblade, GBA-GC link, 360 av cords, 360 wired controllers with no breakaways, 2 wii stands.

Anyway, what I got today:
Sega Saturn Virtua Stick (been looking for one all month)
Dreamcast controller with VMU,
Blockbuster Genesis 6-button,

I love the Sega Master System.  Slick and sophisticated, its clean lines and crisp colors suggest an elegant lady assassin ridin' dirty on corinthian leather seats to a ballroom in order to eliminate the latest target.  It's got a flow chart printed on it that lets you know how the shit goes down on a day-to-day.  Its color scheme: black and red, the colors of a brotherman on the run.  It says to me, "fun is serious business."

 

It's the last SEGA system I need unless I go crazy and start with variations or pick up an SG 1000 or SC 3000.

HAHAH XD, that's a great description!

Just ordered a Sega Saturn Memory Card Plus for $10 free shipping!
I can finally save my games without the worry of them being erased!
What import games should I pick up?

If the screen lights up but the games wont start, you may want to replace the connector. Could just be a really dirty pin in there.

Try taking a credit card and wrapping a thin cloth around it
(nothing that will break up into small bits though, try a soft cloth like you get with your phone screen protectors)
with a tiny bit of alcohol on it and insert it into the pin connector and move it up and down.
It worked for me a few times with numerous systems.

I'm so tempted to try collecting all the Sega Ages stuff, even the crappy ones. The Gunstar Heroes Treasure Box is especially squee! (and still on my wishlist :/)

How's Cool Cool Toon? I've heard good stuff, but never played it.

That would be kinda cool to have all of those!

Thanks! Just wish the awful long boxes came with them!
Cover Project, here I come!
So happy to play Astal!
I'm not very content with the games I got from the shop, I'm not sure they were worth my $20.
Oh well, live and learn I guess. 

If I was collecting US Saturn games I would definitely use the cover project. You can find loose Saturn games cheap. People will have a CD book full of them and not be able to sell them. Moreover, the cover project covers look NICE! There's a part of me that still wants to have Sega CD, Saturn, Dreamcast, Xbox, 360 games all on a shelf. It would look clean and sharp.

Yeah, they look pretty amazing, next time I get some cash I'm going to kinkos or office max to print some covers.
The only thing is that the Saturn manuals are too long to fit in a DVD case.
Also, instead of using universal game cases for n64 games, I was planning on using those black plastic vhs cases.

I think I got a good deal guys!
I had an ad on Craigslist searching for Saturn games.
Somebody offered me these a long time ago and told me to make a cash offer, but I had none.
Today, I got an email from her saying she'd take $20 for all of them!
Still no cash on me. And then, just when I was going to say I can't, someone gave me an offer on some worthless old computer parts!
Got $40 from the junk!
Got a pretty damn good deal (I'd have paid $20 for Astal alone)!
Ended up taking the remaining $20 to a shop that had retro games for 30% off and got
Maximum Carnage - Genesis
Sonic Spinball
and Castlevania - N64 (I'm coming for you, Scott!  )

There aren't many game related things on it, but there will be!
Thought you guys might like this idea.
I built this long shelf for all of $15, to store all of my media but ended up letting my little brother use it.
It spans nearly the entire length of the wall!

Ugh! I am insanely jealous of that shelf!

Lol thanks. It was a long road getting to this point with it. I was standing there looking at the box of stuff, debating on adding a fourth shelf to it too.

You should. lol

thanks, insektmute!
I'm trying to get my hands on
Shenmue 1,2 - Dreamcast,
RE 2,3 -ps1 (since I somehow lost mine a while ago)
NiGHTS - Saturn
Another Dreamcast, SNES, and Genesis controller.
Saturn Virtua Stick(s)
lol, April isn't over yet!
Just have to find the right people to trade with 

@desocietas, sounds like your deal worked in your favor very well! Good job!

I have a complete copy of Shenmue I might be able to let go of, depending on what's being offered.

I found a complete copy at the shop for $15, what were you looking to get, maybe we could trade?
