Marketplace / Intellivision Games for sale or trade.
« on: August 05, 2018, 05:45:07 pm »
I have some extra Intellivision games I am looking to send to a good home. I will list below what I have and the quantities of each. Some are with boxes a few come with instructions. None of them have overlays. I tested them they work. If you want to bundle them let me know I can work a better price if you get more than one. any questions just ask.

I am open to trades, I am looking for whatever I don't have. My collection list is current, so if it's not on there I am open to getting it in trade

You can buy them all for 35.00 with shipping, or separately where you pay for shipping.

Shipping in the US will be USPS Priority Mail. flat rate small box that about 7 bucks. I can get about 4 loose games in there.  I am shipping from 60618  Boxed games or anything else that cant fit in a small flat rate box will be based on weight (or whatever is the most economical ie. medium flat rate boxes cost 14 bucks for 7 pounds while normal priority costs 28 bucks). Internation Shipping gets expensive so if you want to pay for shipping out of the US it is not cheep.

Thank you

In addition to the podcast, I floated the idea of adding more videos to our channel. I did a quick unboxing video of my latest purchase. If this works out and you guys like it we might do more videos going beyond the podcast. Let me know what you think.

Classic Video Games / Game Gear Collectors
« on: October 05, 2016, 12:57:49 pm »
It has been awhile since I Posted anything on here. So hello again!

So I am about to try and collect a complete Game Gear game collection. I don't care about boxes at this point just looking for the carts. Just wondering what any of you have come across in finding games. and how many have full collections. I see that most of the games loose are not too much cash, but trying to find them looks tough.

I have had one for a while, but the battery contacts are so messed up I have to use an ac adapter. I did  just bought a "new" one the other day that is in much better condition, I may end up modding the messed up one to have a better screen at some point and fixing the battery contacts as well.

Any tips on my search?

Off Topic / Day of Remembrance
« on: February 19, 2015, 10:23:12 pm »
Had to post this, since this affected my family in a huge way. On this day in 1942 President Roosevelt singed E.O. 9066. Requiring all people of Japanese decent on the West Coast into "interment" camps close to 120,000 men women and children. Many were born here in America and US Citizens who were Nisei(about 70,000) and many were Japanese immigrants who some have already been living here for 40 years.  Most of them lost everything they had, homes, their businesses, what ever property they could not carry with them also any savings they may have had.  All with out any due process The camps where not stellar living conditions, but they survived.

While the Japanese Americans living in the then territory of Hawaii were not interned, many if them requested to join the Army but were denied because of who they were. I wasn't until June of 1942 when the Army formed the 100th Battalion a unit comprised of 100% volunteer Nisei from Hawaii. Then in 1944 The 442nd RCT was formed also made up of 100% volunteers who came out of the "interment" camp. Together they fought not only for the USA but to show the whole country that they were good and loyal Americans. They fought so hard and suffered such great losses they were called "the Purple Heart Battalion" They became the most decorated unit for its size and length of service. of 14,000 men they received 21 Medals of Honor(20 were upgraded from other awards in 2000), 4000 Bronze stars (not including 1200 oak leaf clusters for a second award) ,560 Silver Stars (plus 28 oak leaf clusters), 52  Distinguished Service Crosses, and 9,486 Purple hearts.

After the war and the families were getting out of the camps and the members of the 442nd were coming home. Many came home to their homes destroyed, or no home at all and having to start over from scratch. They faced hate just because who they were. My grandparents were lucky they got out early, thanks to a sponsor family here in Chicago. Since the medical care was not the best in the camp and my grandmother was pregnant with my dad at the time things could have turned out different.

This is just a quick brief thing i had to get out there is a lot more that I could have said but I figured this would be enough. Thanks.
