Damn, how many members have found one of these now in just the past few months?...

They must be planning an invasion.

Found this at a local Goodwill store today. I'm not sure why a keyboard caught my eye but upon inspection I recognized "Miracle" on it and knew what it was. It unfortunately didn't come with a cable or game, but I'm guessing was originally a PC or SEGA version as the nintendo seal in the top right corner is covered up by a music note symbol. It works even though the power adapter is from a Linksys router. :lol: Anyways, maybe I over paid, but I spent $19.99.

You would have had to pay for shipping from elsewhere so think about it as free and you paid shipping to get it. Though 20 bucks is still a good price IMHO.

oddly, I saw one yesterday too. NES I think. But it was boxed, and it was at an actual game store, so I'm sure it was overpriced. I didn't ask how much, cuz I have no interest myself.

Paid 40.00 for this. What's not pictured is the other 7 disk drives, and two duffle bags full of power cords, connector wires, controllers, and rf switches. Pretty cool find. I don't do a lot of atari playing or collecting but thought these were cool pieces of history. They came from a local high school. They have the school name written on bottom of everything.


Amazing find! 8-bit computers are tons of fun.

I work at a public school. I should ask if they have any old stuff like this hanging around. The answer is probably no, but it couldn't hurt.

You can find some pretty cool stuff at older schools. I got a really nice "portable"(thing weighs like 30 pounds) record player and a collection of about 50 records for $5 along time ago that came from a local middle school that shutdown. Still get it out every couple of months or when i find new records to try out.

@CRTGAMER

I figured out how to play that Tiger game. It's pretty neat.

And a tip to all Goodwill shoppers: check out the toy and board game sections every time you go in. Lots of thrift stores tend to stash their plug & play and handheld video games there instead of with the other electronics.
