Car boots, charity shops and amazing retro finds from your loft

[Anthony Taylor]

Come on, T-bone. Pics of phat lewt.

Sorry, I had a life tonight and went to the cinema to watch Doomsday!

I'l take pictures of my goodies tomorrow, but in short I found a ps1 with 8 games for £5, an atari st with 3 games for £2, and three mint wii games (trauma center, super paper mario and the simpsons) for £30

Non gaming finds were pretty good as well - Beatles Abbey Road LP for £3, Dungeons and Dragons board game (recent hasbro release) for £2 and a rather nice chrome bread bin for £3

Do those Codies carts actually stand proud of the top of the GGs case, then? Not met those before.

Yeah, they stick out of the top. They made their own Master System carts too which are a different shape.

Notice the excellent dizzy collection and dropzone.

Jealous

Ahhhh back into the swing of things. Missed Sunday's boots due to oversleeping but pootled round this morning to see if anything was left.

Glad I did.

Saturn Wheel!?!?!? Even if it was 50p whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?!?!??!?!?

[strawdonkey]

Randomly, that's an import Saturn wheel too.

I have two - I quite like them, even if only for nostalgic reasons

[frood42]

Saturn Wheel!?!?!? Even if it was 50p whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?!?!??!?!?

Hehe, I quite agree. I have yet to find ANY console steering wheel that has any advantage over a control pad. If they are boxed they take up quite a lot of room and if not boxed they don't stack. Very difficult peripheral to store.

Randomly, that's an import Saturn wheel too.

Had no idea it was an import, cheers.

[moosegrinder]

I should've spotted that to be honest. It's in a white box, whereas the UK ones were in the same type of boxes as the Virtua Gun and Saturn console. I suppose you could use it as a bedside cabinet

[BeeJay]

I threw 3 saturn wheels out a couple of years back. To be fair they work alright, just take up a lot of space.

[spaceyjase]

Saturn wheels are great. I set all my record Sega Rally times with a wheel; it's all in the range of movement vs. pad. The Codies carts are great, huh? I got Dizzy on the Master System and it's the oddest looking thing ever when placed firmly in its slot!

[sir stiff_one]

The advantage of the 360 wheel is that it's fucking awesome to use. I can't touch my pad times though.

Went to local car boot today and got Vandal Hearts II and Wild Arms for PS1 for 50p each

[moosegrinder]

Very nice, i never got on with VH2, but it is the rare.

[SeanR]

come rain or shine I AM booting tomorrow.

if you see me posting in an hour or so remind me to go to bed...

[Cecil Kay]

I might pop out now for a late walk round, how did you get on Sean?

[BeeJay]

I love the sight of sun bringing booty in the morning. Will post pix later.

[moosegrinder]

Highlight of my sunday, this thread

[TehStu]

Agreed. I won't be in a position to collect again for a long while, so I'm living vicariously through you chaps

[frood42]

Nice and busy today.

Game Boy: Tetris Attack, Mercenary Force, Othello, Other Life: Azure Dreams (jap) and a couple of multi carts.

SNES: Batman Returns, Road Riot 4WD

N64: Turock 3

Mega Drive: Red Zone, Syndicate

Saturn: Starfighter 3000, Galactic Attack

Master System: Master of the Darkness

PS1: Ridge Racer Type 4

PS2: Freak Out, Maximo, The Bouncer

Game Cube: Spy Hunter, Pokemon Colosseum, Micky's Magical Mirror

Was suprised to find a old style C64, glad to see that people's atics can still produce the occasional supprise.

Picked it up mainly for the couple of Jeff Minter games.

[BeeJay]

Galactic Attack

Not seen that before.

[BeeJay]

Tiggers honey hunt for the little one, honestly (and I felt sorry for the lad). All 50p-£1 and in minty, minty fresh condition. Haven't seen rebel assault 2 for a while.

GBA games £2 each, GB games £1 each. All genuine UK versions. More importantly: Toe jam and earl. I've been after a copy for years. It's cart only but in excellent condition and was 50p.

Blazing angels, morrowind XBOX and Guitar hero II solus £15

PC: KOTOR and original release morrowind £3

Various albums 50p each and a couple of single promos 25p each.

[frood42]

Neither will I, I've just opened it up, no disk. My fault for not checking, £3 for a box and a manual.

Ah gutted. Saw a shadow hearts covenant for £1 today. Opened it up to find only 1 disc. Hate it when that happens.

[Cecil Kay]

Toejam and Earl is great, one of the funniest games ever.

Hover Bovver was the best thing he ever did, well worth it.
