swapmeet small haul

[nathanallan]

Not much today, maybe something during the week if I have time to go see downtown.

N64 Shadows of the Empire(star wars nut here)
Genesis Fatal Labyrinth(love me some Genesis RPG)
NES Jaleco Bases Loaded
NES Jaleco Bases Loaded Second Season(these are going up, the NES games)
Saturn Virtua Racing(mine!)
D!Zone 2(unknown yet)
Tiger Electronics Star Wars Rebel Training game(unknown, neat item)

The Tiger is the neatest thing, it has a small light gun that comes out of the game, you set it up on a table and shoot at it! There are bonus weapon power-ups, and you're shooting at Darth's minions. It came in the package but it was so dilapidated I opened it up, and the packaging has even scuffed it up a bit. Still have to play it, but it looks really neat! Darth Vader's mask never gets old.

I lucked out and found Virtua Racing for the Saturn I just got, so that was a bit of a score. The case is busted up but the game looks good. I may have to get a steering controller :)

One weird find is the D!Zone 2 expansion for Doom and Doom 2, says 1000 levels for the game. I haven't played it in a long time, so it may be neat to try out. Have to get an older copy of Doom from somewhere, preferably for my iBook. Pretty sure it'll work with an 800mhz processor.

All in all a small but rich score, pictures link attached. Click forward to advance.

Fatal Labyrinth is GOOD! Ever played Dragon Warrior? The gameplay is like that: You go through and uncover the areas that are in black. So far I've fought Worms (big red rolly pollies that spit poison), Green Jellies that want to eat you but are weak, and bat-winged eyeballs. To attack, you simply move toward the enemy and your weapon shoots out and you either hit or miss. Your mission is to go kill the Dragon that has stolen the Goblet. The Goblet vanquished Darkness and Brings Forth Light!

THIS is the kind of game I've been looking for for a console, and it's awesome that it's a Sega!! Also very much like Dungeon Crawl (awesome game) so it's very Rogue-like but graphical. I will take pictures.

/edit What a time for my batteries in the camera to die!!! As soon as they charge up, I'll make a video (this thing is addictive (the camera and the game and youtube) so as soon as they charge up, I'll post it.

My little demo is up on youtube now, among lots of others it seems.

[brucebidder]

Nice demo and I jsut bought this game so I guess I will have to drag out the SG and get to work.....:)

[nathanallan]

I really like it. There's even someone selling the box and case over there (nudge nudge wink wink). I was tempted.

With my demos, I think I'll go with the least talking necessary. Too many people are talking so much that you can't even here what the game sounds like. I'm no Ashens. (http://www.youtube.com/user/ashens)

Are you familiar with Dragon Crystal or Dungeon Crawl?

Not bad this weekend, there was the Activision box, and now this weekend's haul. (http://picasaweb.google.com/nathan.dkassandra4/UntitledAlbum#5251150065412967138) All in all, not too bad. Have to clean and test, though. Click the next button above to see it all.

N64 Battle for Naboo
Star wars Battleship electronic game
Sega Genesis 1 HDGL(high definition graphics logo)
Sega Genesis 2, made in Japan (got Japan, Malaysia, Thailand, now; redeeming quality of the Gen2, made in different places)
R2-D2 from Episode 1 era, loose
Stormtrooper, loose

not pictured, kinda boring:
Apple power supply, think it's for the ][e that I have, not sure
couple of 3com pci ethernet cards
most excellent Bratwurst from the German Brat seller :)

Nathan

note to all: All packages left will go out tomorrow, sorry for the delay, had a run in with the Law. Had to be dealt with.

[Chickybaby]

Mmmm bratwurst. :)
The electronic star wars battleship sounds fun as well.
I also have no idea where the several genny systems I have were made, interesting, never thought about that. Could I see a pic of the HDGL?
Thanks. :)

Just got off work, tried to take pictures but the low lighting made the pictures all fuzzy and just plain bad.

The link in the post has pictures from when I took them earlier on the trunk of my car (or boot, if you're British).

The swapmeet got rained out today, I only had time to snag a few things before everyone packed up.

1977 Tomy Blip! electronic game (pictures soon, works like it did in '77)
1979 Mini-Vid Spacewar electronic game (pics soon, but it doesn't work; makes noise but the lcd shows nothing)
Genesis Wiz'N'Liz cart

The Tomy is pretty neat. The only thing electronic about it is the LED that is the ball. The rest is wind up! I'll make a video and post it up on youtube later. Has anybody ever played with one? This one is in pretty good shape. Missing the battery cover, though.

Maybe I'll have better luck during the week as far as finds.

Nathan

/edit, the video is up, please see My Channel (http://www.youtube.com/user/nathanallan1)

[nathanallan]

um, bump, not sure anyone saw that last post.

As far as the Blip goes, it looks like something that I would buy a remake of if it were ever released. Two player tabeltop games are still fun, my wife and I can play and she doesn't get bored with them. Plus it's pretty stylish, very Knight Rider-ish. Only missing the 'swooping' red light.
