Video Game "Look what I found"

it'd be vectreces.

Probably, but I prefer Vectri.

Just to be pedantic, Vectrex is a proper noun, so you don't change any spelling when pluralising it. I'm fairly sure it should be Vectrexes.

I am sure you are right, I just think Vectri sounds cooler.

AJ's version has T-Rexes in it, that's gotta be better.

Just when I was getting bummed I sold my copy of FFVII I picked one up at a garage sale half a block from my apartment and of course only disc 1 looks played

Myst, Blastosomething, FFVII(black label) = $1


Local game store sold me Harvest Moon 64 for $25 which I would consider a pretty good deal from what I've seen it go for as of late.

Here's the back story behind this one...

About a month ago I found an ad for a couple of decent computer-consoles on craigslist. However, the seller lived just a bit out of my "acceptable driving range" so I decided to pass. This week I'm on paternity leave - I guess both mommy and baby got sick of me as I was told to "take a hike." I decide eff it, I'll email the seller and take a nice long drive out to the woods of Maine. To my surprise, the seller tells me she'd be willing to meet me at a church ten minutes from my house. Why a church? Because the seller was a nun! Here's what I got from the Sister for $50 total...

Tandy Color Model 2
The case has seen better days (it still needs a good scrubbing), but the computer works perfectly. I already own a Model 3, but due to some compatibility issues with certain games I also wanted a Model 2. A couple of months ago, I wrote about a game called Downland that I couldn't get to run on my Model 3. Well, it works fine on this computer and oddly enough the seller included a copy with it (so now I have two). No idea what that cassette does.


Commodore 16 (with box) and Commodore monitor
In case you don't know, the somewhat-obscure C16 has it's own distinct library of games/software, much like the C64. I got the computer complete in box with a monitor. The monitor is awesome! I was under the impression that you could only hook Commodore computers to it, but any of my game consoles are compatible. Now to find some C16 games...

Found a Dazzle DVC-101 video capture device at Goodwill for $1.50

I just tested it using my SNES to my Win 7 laptop. Works great with solid framerates! I used virtualdub. Now I can finally get some decent video captures done. Probably works best on the PS2 (and older) generation of consoles.

None of that fancy HD stuff

My aunt moved out of town. She loaded me down with a ton of stuff. A few Items were gaming related. Nothing super special, but it was free and some of it is pretty cool. I also got a bunch of stuff not pictured (file cabinet, dvd player, cd player, couple of old towers that I am going to try and get running and put in the kids room, couple flat screen monitors, etc) I think i made out pretty good

<8 Bit Computers>

Nice find on the retro computers, these can also plug into the big screen as a "game console".

The monitor has SVideo in the back, just needs an adapter cable to the Chroma Luma RCA connections.

I don't know what Commodore was thinking on the Plus 4 and 16 series computers, they already had the VIC20 to fill the lower priced market. If I remember right, some of the connections did not match the C64/VIC20. Still, a good collectable since it much harder to find in comparison to the C64.

Even though I won't get too much use out of the C16 I'm still happy to have it. I'm really interested in trying that Ghosts n Goblins port.

Now to find a VIC-20 and Amiga...

According to the list, the C16 Ghost Goblins has been cut down. Does the game have anything unique compared to other ports? The C16 is definitely different, probably one of the more obscure computers that will be on your shelf. Anything you want to know about Commodore, hit me up. Own a few, but not an Amiga nor the C16/PLUS4 line. The Commodores posted in my signature include a SX64 transportable and an Educator 64 which is a C64 PCB inside a Commodore PET shell.

If you ever get a VIC20, two games that are very well done and instant load as game carts.

Omega Race with a game paddle and looks better then the C64 version

Sirius Type Attack larger fonts are perfect in the 22 column screen.
