Microvision
From Onyxcat, definitely a different portable! Not one, but TWO MICROVISIONS! :D

Digital Video Essentials DVD - $2.00 Swap Meet
DVD used for calibrating the 480p TV and even HDTVs with an upscaling player. The Menu is a real pain, direct individual Titles have to be numerically keyed in to get to various calibration screens. perhaps a mindset to make sure the user can calibrate without ruining the HDTV? Noteworthy that it includes the Blue-Red-Green Color Filter. :mrgreen:

Gemstik Atari 2600 Joystick - 0.50¢ Swap Meet
Always wanted one try out, similar in feel to the Atari 2600 Joystick.

Atari Arcade iPod
Bought from noise with approval to post. A nice click feel to the iPod Dock Arcade Stick. Since it has limited use in the iPod for just Atari games, I'm tempted to mod this. Maybe as a small transportable Arcade Stick to go with the PSOne with LCD screen. It would be great for long road trips. :D

Speak Spell - Speak Math - $7.00 Set Swap Meet :shock:
Made by Texas Instruments. These must be worth something, the Speak and Spell appeared on the TV Show Toy Hunter and was made famous in the Movie ET. I'll give a full review later back in the Portable Games Guide.

Connect 4 Portable - $1.00 Swap Meet
Plays just like the board game and is definitely brighter then the older Microvision.

Tetris Portable - 0.50¢ Swap Meet
Tetris on a dot matrix LCD. Also can be held to the ear to make people think you have a cell phone. :lol:

PS1 Internal Section
Another rarity from noise and at a great price CIB. A Japan import PS1 game that has been compared to REZ and TEMPEST. I'll go a step further and throw in GYRUSS, the way the stars come at you. The hidden gem is the uncommon HiRes Graphic Mode and throwing in your own music CD. My Inferno Music CD never sounded so good, perfect for the immersion of this game! 8)

GBA Star Wars II - $5.00 Swap Meet
And I thought I was done collecting GBA games from Gamestop clearance sales! The console versions are definitely better, but this holds its own pretty well for a quick "LucasArts Desktop Adventures" inspired gameplay.

GB Trax
Nice Tank game from Gameboy Guru noise thrown in as a bonus. Overhead "Atari Combat" style of game with a rotating turret.

NES Max Gamepad - $1.00 Swap Meet
A different approach to the gamepad with the slide button. I like the original NES pad better though.

Weird Statues $2.50 Set Swap Meet
The big one was a buck the little guys were 50¢ each. The big statue was at one stall and the little ones were at another stall with kids toys. Lucky I recognized them from the big statue. USB connection, all I can say is Skylanders. I'll review these creatures later on.

Just decided to stop at a pawn shop a few towns over for the hell of it. I am still in shock!!!

I picked up the following for 37.24

Dragon Valor ps1 (CIB)

NES games:
StarForce
Xevious
Marble Madness
Blaster Master
M.U.L.E
Target Renegade
Bases Loaded 3
Hydlide
The Goonies II

Last of all

SUPER TURRICAN 2 ( had marked for 15 I haggled him down to 10)

Okay so don't be mad at me or make fun. I almost passed this deal up. I wasn't exactly sure if it was worth even 10 bucks. I have studied, research and have been passionate about video game collecting since I was a child. I just recently took the next step and decided to go full throttle with my collection. I had a feeling this game was more uncommon than others..So I trusted my gut and pulled that trigger! Boy am I glad I did lol. I felt rather disappointed in myself that I truly was not sure of the rarity of this game. To what I have found while looking online this game goes for a solid 100 dollar bill and seems to be steadily increasing...That's the way game chasin go!

I promise I am not pulling any legs..I am not computer savvy by any means. I have pictures of almost all of my finds of recent but every time I try to upload a pic to post on the forum it says my file is too big...and I do not have even the slightest idea how to minimize the size or wtf ever it is I need to do..I want to show the thread this find for sure..I don't want any doubts.

Look I can't even upload an avatar right, go ahead laugh. Okay I take back the 100 dollar tag I put on that. I should of looked further before opening my mouth lol. I just was so excited that I got ahead of myself and did not dive to deep into what they are going for. But can someone maybe tell me how to make a picture smaller or explain why it always states my pictures are to big.? It is still a good find in my mind

Nice find. :)

Here's a tutorial on resizing pictures. You might make them somewhere between 800 and 1200 wide at most.
