Late to update, but haven't been idle!

A couple of rainouts made yard sale searching harder, but we have some more goodies. This last weekend was great both weather AND hunting wise.


The big score was 14 assorted nes/snes games for $30 total. Here you see:

TMNT
TMNT 2: The Arcade Game
Zelda 2: The Adventure of Link
Super Mario/Duck Hunt
Super Mario Bros. 2
Super Mario Bros. 3
Yoshi
Bart Simpson vs. the Space Mutants

Also included...


Mario All Stars
Super Mario World
Starfox
Mario Pain
Revolution X
(Tower of Druaga - $3 at the thrift where I got an FC Twin to test this out [boo, hiss, clone hardware... yeah well I have no NES or SNES yet...])

But wait... that's 13 games. Yes, yes it is. Along side a Smash Bros. Melee I got for $5 at a separate yard sale is the last game from that assorted box...




Awwww yiss.

All tested and working except Mario 2 (which is a game known not to like famiclones apparently). Yep, even Mario RPG...

Apparently there are 3 revisions of the Mario game... 1.1 (plays on anything) 1.2 (plays on clones... sometimes) and 1.3 (no dice on anything but proper hardware)

Well... this is a 1.2. I was able to boot it after a few tries, with save files intact, played and saved myself... but it always takes a few tries. Unfortunate but it *could* be a 1.3 and untestable like Mario 2.

Also, nabbed a gamecube power supply for $3 happily putting me at two separate gamecube systems, both working. Nabbed two games complete while I was there - Tube Sliders and Zoocube for $2 a piece. Next post later will bring us a fully functional list, as well as a list of PS1 games gotten for $2 a piece, all complete.
