Video Game "Look what I found"

[Thierry Henry]

The seller wouldn't sell one or the other separately, so I picked up both PBC's.

For 500 ZAR. That would equate to just a little under $37

If you decide to build those, go to the Lego site for the game. They on their own try and force you to buy the video game because there are no instructions other than when the game on your TV goes through it with you. But if you go to the website, each set has a little set of icons in the lower right of the picture general area, one of them is a PDF of the build instructions that should have been in the box.

I got 4 of the sets for Christmas, and slugged out trying to build Doc's Time Train for awhile and came up a few pieces short. Searching first got me a youtube video of it, but more searching someones reply on a messageboard pointed back to the Lego site. Just trying to save you a headache.

I've got them lined up in front of the TV here. I have that Bart one you have, A-Team, BTTF Doc/Train, and the Midway arcade/spyhunter/gamer package.

Just a comparison pic.






As others have done, planning to fit a Pi in the little guy on the right.

Bought it from a local guy for $20. He had imported a whole bunch of them, paying $7.99 each.

Whoa, wait, what is the tiny Sega?

Whoa, wait, what is the tiny Sega?

It's a USB Hub.

That is totally rad. Yeah, sticking a Pi in that thing would be killer.

You're not the first one with that genius idea, and I've seen it played out and they look fantastic. Depending on skills you can wire up those existing USB ports to match those on your PI, do a little reverse side work for any other spots/adjustments needed for HDMI, power, a gap for a SD card, and you're set.

Not too many light-gun games for the oXbox,
I got this for $2,


















As I discovered, not quite the way to go in upscaling your 240p signal to a higher res on modern TV's.
I got it on the "cheap" ($15), so not too fussed about it.

That said though, I'll probably find some use for it, hopefully.

[Tanooki]

Still not bad with the options there in that picture.

It also reminds me I need to track down someone not scamming BINs on ebay for a mouse on Dreamcast. It's the only way to properly play Silent Scope on there since oddly it never used a light gun (and can't anyway without a CRT today.)

I’ve had a productive few days in the hunt for games! Monday, I got from a Walmart: Valkyria chronicles Remastered ($15) and Need For Speed the Run 360 ($5). Tuesday I got a bit more! At salvation Army for $4.25 four dvds and a music cd. Then, at the daily fleamarket for $8, I got three wii games and a Batman cartoon dvd. Afterwards from another place of got Simpson’s road rage PS2 and five more dvds all at a dollar each. And like many times in my finds, I do pretty well on Wednesday’s once a week fleamarket. I got Little Big Planet 2 for $4 and a Tinkerbell movie bluray for $2. At another place, I went through a bunch of boxes filled with media and I fished out some discs: three anime dvds, total recall on bluray, Transformers for PC, xbox music disc and an NFL game on psp. They were all $1 each! I also bought a standard wiimote with rubber shell for $3. Sadly, the contents weren’t in it, so the guy gave me the case for FF XIV online for fifty cents. I have a buddy who loves final fantasy stuff, so when I see him later, I’m going to gift it to him. I saw a stall with a bunch of wii games, the fellow had games I already had. But not wii sports resort. I asked how much for it? And he said $5. I’ll take it. For fifty cents I couldn’t go wrong with an old school Batman squirt gun. Afterwards I lucked out with some more Dreamcast games! Granted, they’re sports games, but nowadays you should pick up anything DC related. Especially in great condition like these are. As I made my way to pay the guy, I spotted a Star wars ps2 game and I threw it into the lot. Needless to say I got them all for $9! Sweet. And to finish off a great day, I bought three sealed James Bond bluray movies for $6! Thanks for reading!
