Retro Gaming Yardsale Adventures

It's that time of year again. We're getting deep into spring, the weather is nice and we've got a tiny bit of cash in our pockets. So we'll be on the hunt for gaming consoles. GAMES GAMES GAMES at deep dish discounts. Parents unloading kids electronics and kids who want to buy their next system and will sell me electronics super cheap. What will our finds be? Who knows! We'll be breaking out some serious fleamarket and tag sale stories in the upcoming episodes. Deals we got and deals we lost.

The top consoles on my list this year will be a Coleco Vision, Commodore 64c, Atari 2600 - Video Game Console, Atari 5200 - Video Game Console (System), Nintendo Virtual Boy - Video Game Console and some random handhelds. I'll also need new games for my new GBA as well as other consoles sitting in my collection.

If you are out and about and see crazy finds. Even if you don't buy them, share you story in the comments, on the forum or snap a pict with your phone and shoot us an email.

Sad Flood News from a Donor - Dreamcast damage

I received an email about a Dreamcast, SNES games and NES games found in a parents basements. The donor will remain anonymous. He offered up all this booty if I payed shipping and sent him a sketch. I'm more than happy to do so for such fantastic spoils! Shortly after receiving this amazing news I learned that his parents suffered some water in the basement. Unfortunately he had left the whole pile on the floor. (did you heart just sink? It gets worse.) His SNES was also involved in the terrible incident and may have been irrevocably damaged. I'm hoping to have him send me the units regardless to see if I can salvage these jewels of video gaming history.

Now, I want all you readers and listeners to head down to your basements or up to your attics and either put your retro gaming consoles somewhere safe or mail them off to Brian and I for safe keeping and sweet sweet playing. Game on!!!!

What game controllers do you have?

I was zipping around the internet today seeking retro game goodness, when I came across this image in google images. Kotaku.com asks their readers, "which game controllers do you own?" I'm pretty sure I own seven from this picture. Do I know what they all are called? Nope. But I've got them. How many do you have?
