When it came out, I was hoping there was a Luigi one to go with the Mario one. :P

Yeah, we have the complete copy, along with a crappy GameStop universal DDR pad. I think maybe if both pads were good, we'd play it more. :lol:

Not a game, but a supporting peripheral.
CRT Monitor $15.00 at the local Veteran Thrift store. :mrgreen:

Wife's CRT monitor died yesterday, so emergency swapped my LCD dual VGA input over. Luckily my old iMac has a built in smaller screen as backup. I never swapped before because of that two VGA input for my computer and Dreamcast.

Picked up a replacement, not a great monitor but not bad either, a 2005 model Compaq FS7600 17" monitor, actually 16" view area. No speakers, but iMac G3 has some nice Harman Kardon ones built in. Dreamcast will get its own dedicated amplified speakers. I have been wanting to play VGA Dreamcast House of the Dead with a light gun again. So finally now will get a mechanical VGA switch and spare VGA cable at Frys.

Unlike the LCD, CRT supports older OS9 640x480 256 color video modes.
Some LCDs won't support the lower res 640x480 of Dreamcast VGA.

Elusive CRTs are really getting hard to find, none sold new anymore.

That is my gaming holy grail. Awesome find. Someday I'll have one and get the RE4 GC chainsaw controller as well.

What good deals have you scored lately?

Post by NintenBroke »

So what good deals, related to retro gaming of course, have you scored lately? Me, I picked up an N64 with 2 controllers, memory expansion pack and 2 games(Starfox 64 and Super Mario 64) for a grand total of $20 bucks! This was found on craigslist and everything works great and looks new. Also went to a little mom and pop pawn shop that I know of and while they have used consoles outlandishly overpriced, ALL SNES carts are 5 bucks, thats right no matter if it's Madden xx or Super MarioKart. So I picked up Donkey Kong Country and Super Mario World for a total of $10 bucks. Also found a SNES with 2 controllers and "2 games" unspecefied on Craigslist for $15, I have contacted the owner and am supposed to meet him to pick up tommorow but really won't count this 'til I have it in hand. So what have you come across lately?
