I am on their mailing list, and although they have had some sales on games recently, I don't think that there are any for manuals at the moment.

Atari 2600 12 cart tray - $3.00 Swap Meet
Big deal a plastic tray? Well these are somewhat of a rare bird made just for 2600 game carts so I buy them whenever I can. Nice thing about this design is space saving compared to other models and can stand upright as well. I have three others, two of which came with a plastic lid. The lid also can be used for a flat shelf. I still don't know the name brand of these, driving me nuts.

PS1 Pro Pinball Fatastic Journey - $2.50 Swap Meet
It was two for five bucks at one Swap Meet stand so picked up a couple of pinball games. I have played a Pro Pinball table years ago on the PC and loved the detail of the game. There are at least four in the series for the PS1. A decent game with nice graphics.

PS1 Kiss Pinball - $2.50 Swap Meet
Gameplay is not that great but hey its Kiss! Strange that none of their music is in the game, but a music CD can be inserted for custom music.

PC Gameport Topgun Flightstick - $3.00 Swap Meet
Back in the day this a sought after Thrustmaster Flightstick collectable due to the movie licensing. Due to the older obsolete Game Port connection, I often find decent vintage Flightsticks, Pedals and Driving controllers on the cheap. All easily works on modern PCs coupled with a Gameport to USB adapter, customize the buttons with a keyboard utilty program. :mrgreen:

NES Gamepad and Pro Power Grip - $5.00 Swap Meet
The NES Gamepad alone is worth the five bucks, but to get that blue plastic underneath! The Power Grip made by Toysmith came out before handgrips became a standard in game controllers. This is rare to find in the wild, for me even more so because of that bit of historical value as maybe the first handgrip.

Bought from the same table as the Flightstick at a very good price. Weird how cheap the very rare holder was considering all the collectables including a Simon, vintage lunch boxes and even a set of hazardous lawn darts with the metal spikes on the end. Those Lawn Darts were pulled from market, crazy it was even sold as a kids outdoor toy.

I love this. The one thing you would expect from KISS Pinball is actual KISS music...but no, it fails on even that front. (I also own this game BTW. I grabbed a new copy a few years ago to add to my DSH-inspired video pinball collection.)

I think it is a botched conversion. The PC version (which I haven't played) was made by Wildfire Studios, who made the fun Balls of Steel.

Being after one of these for quite a while.
Doesn't have the Mario game, will find one to complete it.
Hoping the Club Nintendo membership code hasn't being used.
Cost £43 :D

EDIT: :D The code was unused, I'm now a Club Nintendo member with 750 stars :D

CRT, Thanks for posting the NES handle. Without the controller you'd never know what it was for :wink:

That's really interesting. It looks like it'll convert an NTSC signal to PAL M, but it's called a "stereo converter"? :lol:

I don't see how it would be very useful, though. I mean, how many people in PAL M territories opt to use an NTSC PS1? Or else, I suppose it's useful if you're traveling abroad and just have to take your PS1 with you.

I'd speculate that since it just takes the composite video signal from the multi AV out, it probably works with the PS2 and PS3 as well.
