It looks like they gave that kid some Valium before taking his picture, lol. He looks far too happy playing that game.

I thought the same thing when I saw it. gotta love 80's box cover kids. lol

Yeah

It reminds me of (and if any of the rest of you are old enough to remember this...do feel free to chime in:)

"Pretty Sneaky; Sis"   ...

         ...from the tv ad for an old game called "Connect Four" (for those of you who didn't get the reference:)

HA! Oh Gosh I know what your talking about. Damn I'm getting old.

Game gear powerback. It's basically full of batteries. Plus, it makes the Game Gear even bulkier... which is always a good thing, right!?

[burningdoom]

I see. Seems easier to just use the power supply.

Most definitely. This was used as extra battery power on the go. The Game Gear did not last too long when it came to batteries. So, if you had a long drive or such, this was a decent way to go. Also, if you just wanted something rechargeable. They also had a variant of the powerback that would clip to your belt.

I got my Xbox 360 PC pad!

I also found two Game Boy Gamesharks, version 3.1, with software discs and instructions - and a Nintendo 64 Gameshark, with manual, for super cheap. I'm gonna see if I can sell or trade'em off.

It was also electrically compatible with the Nomad. I picked up several of those from Toys 'r' Us back in the day for long plane flights and such.

Good point! I never thought of that but it would be correct. The Game Gear shared the same AC adapter as the model 2 genny, so that makes perfect sense!

Just picked up some games from 2nd and Charles. I traded in a bunch of old CDs that i never listen too and all the games ended up being FREE.

Some fantastic titles there! Some of the best among the last generation. Congrats!

Just got a couple items in the mail
First a Super Famicom System with 1 game, F-1 Hero 94
Only paid $35 for it, its in nice shape. Love how the controllers are so short. lol
Now I have a system to play the other Super Famicom games I've picked up.

Then I got two Tiger R-Zones with 1 game, Daytona USA.
Only paid 99 cents for both of them. lol
All systems worked great and are in excellent shape.
R-Zone is really as bad as people say, I love how bad this thing is. Definitely one of the worst game systems ever made.

Got something cool today. I picked up this for $25

Clue
Super Battleship
Super Advantage

Everything is complete and in amazing shape. The Super Advantage still has the $49.99 sticker from Babbages. It looks like everything was bought and then crammed in the attic. The games suck, but they're in great shape and were part of the package.

Today I picked up a blue GBA SP AGS-001 for $12.
