Today’s Haul

My haul for June 9, 2010
I'm happy

I racked up 16 games today for right at $25. The Gyromite even has the famicom converter! I really can’t wait to play Shinobi & Rolling Thunder. I also plan on finally winning Golgo 13. I do have a few really bad games, The Karate Kid & Back to the Future 2 & 3 for starts. I haven’t played Captain Skyhawk or Cobra Triangle but I do remember winning Clash at Demonhead.

Here is a picture of the two famicom converters I have found so far. The left one is from Hogan’s Alley and the right is from the Gyromite I bought today. Now I just need to buy a famicom game.

I also got my Club Nintendo reward this week. I decided to get the Hanafuda card set over the Game & Watch collection 2. I figured I should own the product that Nintendo started out making way back in 1889. The cards are smaller than I thought they would be, the case for them looks fantastic. I have decided not to open them, instead they will sit on my bookcase with my other collectibles.

I finally got an XBox

Thanks to my buddy Kenny I now own an original Microsoft XBox. Kenny gave it to me because the DVD drive was bad. I was able to swap it out and can now say that I have played Halo. Now I just need to get Knights of the old Republic 1 & 2.

Also there is a new retro-game store in Augusta, Video Game Heaven! I highly recommend stopping by and checking them out.

My latest toy

I found this in a thrift store for $20! It’s a Sega Genesis CDX
