sounds like one of the best garage sales ever

Just got back from TooManyGames. Had a blast.

I traded away/sold a bunch of stuff that hadn't sold here on the boards - a set of DC games, a blinky NES, some C64 kids games, a cart of Fireshark for the GEN, Bug Too for the Saturn, Punch Out and SMB3 carts, Legend of Dragoon (GH), Mega Man X4 (GH), and a few other cheapo PS1 games all for a very surprising $100 or so in cash and/or trade . Beyond that, I spent about $50 on all of the following:









The entire TI99/4A bundle was only $25! It would cost more than that to ship the thing as it is quite heavy, but to find one CIB in amazing condition (complete with original styrofoam, cords, manuals, etc.) made my day. I now need to track down Parsec and a few other carts for the system - anyone looking to part with some?It was a huge nostalgia find as it was the very first computer/console I had growing up, and some of the carts were the same ones I fondly remember from my earliest childhood. Big nostalgia FTW.

Beyond that, I found some cool controllers and accessories - I paid no more than $7 for any of them. The games were all titles that I had been looking for or had some curiosity about, and The Fatal Fury hats were being given away for free. All in all an excellent day of finds! (EDIT: I also picked up Battle Arena Toshinden 3 CIB, but forgot to include it in the pic)

I may weigh in on the rest of the con elsewhere - the podcast went great and I arranged for something very cool to be sold in the upcoming charity auction.

Great Find!
I have a TI also. Do you have Blasto in the stack?

Can be Mamed.

According to the Killer List of Videogames, (Arcade version) is considered very rare.

I think the only home release.

This game is a port of the 1978 Sega/Gremlin Arcade game Blasto, making it one of the earliest Sega arcades brought to the home.

Very cool. Great find on the TI. Definitely need Parsec and Hunt the Wumpus. Also nice find on the gray Wico stick. The other stuff is cool too, just those 2 stand out to me.

For now the plan is to keep it all. Maybe I'll take requests before the Spring show. The sheer amount and variety of what shows up there is staggering, much of it for excellent to fair prices.

I have always wanted a Fatal Fury hat to throw off once i have given someone a beat down, lucky bastard, great thing for the collection.

[noiseredux]

haha, the hat rules! I'm glad you found a couple of arcade sticks to get yr collection going.
