Video Game "Look what I found"

[StephPlusPlus]

I got...

GB/GBA
Pokemon Blue
Kirby's Dreamland
Advanced Wars 2
Metroid Fusion
Metroid Zero Mission
Golden Sun
Golden Sun 2: Lost Age
Final Fantasy Tactics Advanced
Fire Emblem
Megaman Zero
Shining Soul 2
Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow

All for $40 on craigslist. (;
All of the labels were nice. (Except fading on the top of Pokemon Blue and a little nasty stuff on the top of FF.) Kirby didn't work until I cleaned it. Pokemon Blue still saves!
Some of these games had Gamestop used stickers, none that were under $12. Having fun with Metroid and Castlevania. (:

Sorry, had to brag.

This showed up on a list as that I didn't notice until 3 hours after it was posted. I was surprised it was still available especially since it mentioned being boxed, but it was so I went to pick it up.



The box has a little water damage on the back and bottom I'm going to try and take care of, but the stick was brand new! No fingerprints on the back until I got my grubby mitts on it. The twist tie on the cord is factory fresh. Did I mention it was free?

Since I was on that side of town, I stopped in the thrift store where I'd found the pile of PS2 net adapters previously and found these guys.



Just keyboards you say? Oh no, these are good old keyboards with actual mechanical switches for every key. No crappy membrane. So this is like using a stick with microswitches versus rubber domes. I might have some up for sale here once I get them cleaned up.

If you've only ever used shitty membrane keyboards, you don't know what you're missing.

Are those the ones that go "clickity-click-click" every time you press a key?

These aren't the buckling spring type which you're probably thinking of, but they're just a hair under those since they have an actual switch for each key. They do have a better feel and make a bit more noise than a membrane keyboard.

Here's a good read about keyboards.

Nice Keyboards! I feel the same way, have a vintage IBM Keyboard on the PC. Those Dell Keyboards look almost identical, whenever I see them at the Swap Meet I look closely thinking they are the classic IBMs.
