Latest Retro Purchases (Games or Hardware)

Yes, thanks Ice!
Unfortunately my one joystick to rule them all plan failed miserably! For whatever reason these PS2 adapters they make only work with DualShock 2 controllers. Must be something in the wiring but in any case the joystick I bought will not work with them. Not a total loss though, I can still use it for PS1, PS2, and original XBOX games, and I have a lot of arcade compilations for all three of those platforms so it will still get a lot of use. That and I still have regular PS2 controllers that I can use with the adapters with my other consoles. Just a heads up though if anyone else thought it sounded like a good idea.

Thanks for the heads-up. Still, sounds like good investment.

Replaced my crappy looking Xplosiv releases of The Longest Journey and Dreamfall with the originals.

The Xplosiv releases look nice. I like the look of the originals better. That Limited Edition cover screams play me now!

Here are the arrivals for this week...

[align=center:1401na3r]Here is the set that completes my cart-only Old School for Intellivision.

Here is a sealed and numbered (#23) Old School CIB.

An NES dogbone controller. I'd been after one for some time.

And Super Killminds for my Genesis.

Yes, they were made for the NES-101 and not many were made.Â I think they used the SNES controller as a model for it since the 101 was released after the SNES.

Great pickups! That Intellivision box and cart reminds me of being a kid an looking at all the display boxes behind the glass cases. I would stare at rows of games for what seemed like hours. Good way to keep a kid busy while the rest of the family shopped. Nothing would move me except for needing a dime. Hey, back then the restrooms had pay locks. 10 cents if I recall correctly.Â >:(Â :21:

Those were the days...

Yep!

That NES controller looks fantastic and always great to see new Mega Drive/Genesis games. :113:

The controller is in perfect condition.Â Someone was selling two for a lower price but the bottom looked like they had been dragged over pavement!
