July 2015- Summertime Blues (Recently Added/Purchased Thread)

[kashell]

Well, this was a surprise. My sexy-ass partner and I were organizing the attic and he said, "Oh hey! I found my old Atari." I laughed at how passé he was about it because I was stoked. It was like he found an old pair of shoes or something XD

So yeah, now I own an Atari 2600, a vast amount of accessories and some games. I doubt I'll ever play them since it's a pain to set the system up, but it's pretty neat to see this aspect of video game history. The games are:

Air-Sea Battle
Asteroids
Breakout
Chopper Command
Defender
Demon Attack
Donkey Kong
Football
Frogger
Grand Prix
Ice Hockey
Night Driver
Pac-Man
Pitfall!
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Real Sports Football
Skiing
Space Invaders
Star Raiders
Super Breakout
Swordquest Fire World
Tennis
Warlords
Yars' Revenge
Zaxxon

I was really surprised.

Grats on the find! I don't have a working atari myself, but I've heard all you need is a rca to coaxial adapter for the atari to work.

Something like this:

That...doesn't seem too bad. And the price is right. Thanks for the tip, bobster!

Yup that's all I used to set up my 4-switch model 2600, and later my 7800.

You have a nice set of games there Kashell!  Definitely worth setting up at least once just for fun.

Right on. I'll be picking one of those up soon.

Yesterday, my copy of Atelier Judie (PSP version) arrived yesterday. It came sooner than expected so I am very excited. Atelier Annie started to get far too redundant so I'm anxious to pop this one in and see what's in store.

Grabbed a long box PSone game.
Street Fighter Alpha for $7. I'm not made at that.

Nice.  When I first bought a PS1, everything was in a longbox.  Picked up Street Fighter Alpha, Rayman and a few others back then. 

Because of my retarded OCD, I avoided purchasing longbox titles after that because they didn't fit physically with the rest of my PS1 games that were all pretty much in jewel cases.

I got Gran Turismo 4 for about 1€ today at a flea market.

Got a Shulk Amiibo from EB Games today.

Found a new Tales of Xillia 2 CE at GS, and managed to get it for $55 with discounts.

Stumbled across a mint copy of Blue Dragon today for $10 @ GS. Probably the last 360 game I *really* wanted to get - there are a few more I wouldn't mind if the price is right, but nothing I feel like I have to have.

Even though I don't have an Xbox or 360 at this time, I still pick up games for them if they are in a series I collect, dirt-cheap or from a developer I like.  That being said, I would have been all over a copy of Blue Dragon as well.  Good catch.

Grabbed 4 Dreamcast games and 3 nes manuals for $25

Prince of Persia:Arabian Nights
Blue Stinger
Aerowings
Industrial Spy

Took advantage of the 4th of July Sale that Nintendo had on refurbished 2DS systems. 60 dollars for basically a new Crystal Red sounded good to me. No scratches on the screen. There nothing wrong with it from what I can tell. Just a tiny bit of dust. It came with all the packaging goodies. They weren't afraid to blast "Refurbished" on almost every side of the box.


In that same order I also got a new GBA SP battery. Yes, they still sell those.  Probably a good time to do so before they stop making them forever.

I recently bought Grand Theft Auto Liberty City Stories for PS2 and Alien Syndrome for Wii.
