I try to keep all my stuff in decent condition.
Some of the console systems that I've bought off of places like eBay have actually been in pretty rough shape cosmetically. I mean they all work great but some of them had all sorts of stickers and other stains all over them. Isopropanol 99% takes care of all the goo and then a cleaning liquid like 'Easy Off'(you guys in the States call it Windex?) is great for a general clean-up. So I try and keep everything in decent shape.
An example was recently I received a N64 system that was covered in what looked like motor oil and car grease. Almost as if the previous owner had spent some time servicing his car and then decided to play some N64! lol
Because the system looked in terrible shape he only charged me $20. Well as you can see from the pic below, it cleaned pretty good with hardly any scratches at all.

Wow nice! How old are you and how long have you been collecting if that's not too personal.

I've been collecting as far back as I can remember. * cue the intro music to Goodfellas and it's opening narrative line "As far back as I can remember I always wanted to be a gangster" * lol

I can't believe you have the original gangsters for pc. One of my favorite games of all time, fantastic collection. Seeing Jammit also brings back memories I had forgotten about.
Re: My console systems and games collection.
Your lucky you have such awesome games..or else I would hunt down your copy of Shaq-fu and destroy it...seriously did you buy it thinking it was good and just hang on too it..or did you get it because it's so infamous?

Re: My console systems and games collection.
I almost never purchase loose cartridges or any other type of game without it's case and manual. So all those loose games you see, including Shaq-fu, came bundled with other purchases. If I recall correctly, that game was included in the sale of one of the two Sega Nomads that I own.CDink wrote:..or else I would hunt down your copy of Shaq-fu and destroy it...seriously did you buy it thinking it was good and just hang on too it..or did you get it because it's so infamous?

Yeah, Gangsters was a great game. Together with Outlaws(LucasArts) they were amongst the very first games I played on any platform.

Nope, haven't touched it yet. I'll fire it up one of these days just to check out what the fuss was all about.CDink wrote:haha, well have you actually played it? Is it as bad as they say?
