Thanks, that helps to know. I shall get a game for it then and test this baby out. :P

I got that GG at a thrift store where the lady who owns it is always always overcharging for things based on people's interest in them when they ask her for the price of it...She always contradicts her pricing to make a good deal for herself. Kinda shifty around there. So I knew she'd overcharge for this item too of course, so I brought it to her, holding it like I had no idea what the hell it was for, and asked about it like I didn't really care and like I thought it wouldn't work but "looked kinda interesting". And boom, mine for chump change. Also got the game Obscure for the PC, all discs in box, for 75 cents by playing dumb too. Fun.

Dreamcast with 2 controllers, AC, and a demo disk for $10. Got it just to replace my broken one but for what it came with I'd say good deal.

Found another Dreamcast controller for $4 so now I have four.

Sega Saturn Stunner for $5.

F-Zero X and TMNT: The Arcade Game for $4 each.

:mrgreen: :mrgreen: Same here, a great Retro!
Good catch! The four or two port model? Which games?
Careful if four port model, comes with proprietary single Power/RF cable hookup.
Be sure to plug the power transformer to the wall socket last!

Good stuff! Try to get Robotron. You will hate the controllers for Pacman. If fire buttons are a problem there is a gold contact repair kit. Before I got Wicos, I glued aluminum foil under the buttons.
