End of the Year Pickups (2011)

[TheBladeJunker]

I used to see Atari carts in the wild long before I started collecting but nothing now, I guess they are cherished or in retail now. Lolo so jealous very nice pickup, great action puzzler. Great find on the TMNT. Boxed complete Genesis games are always great to see. Ooh Blackthorne, awesome awesome game. Getting a pretty good 32X library going there. The Duke, very cool. Hell any SegaCD game that isn't FMV is aces in my book. Sweet custom Atari gamepad. Good stuff, Happy Christmas/New Year

[OldSchoolNYCGamer]

As always Thomas you defibatley seem to find that NES / Sega goodness whereever you go.

And those new Atari decals for the controllers are sick! = )

Happy 2012 to you and your family sir.

[unearthVII]

hell yeah the top loader is still fully operational im still playing it a few times a week .... lol all my friends are like wtf is that... and they all want one haha awesome!!!!!

[johnnyjohnson]

Great pickups Thomas! I got Alex Kidd in Shinobi World a little while ago. It also has a blue label. Haven't had a chance to play it yet though. I have Califorina Games for the Master System. I've never played the Genesis version. BlackThorne looks really nice! I'll have to checkout some gameplay of it. Those overlays look sweet!

[thomas3120]

@johnnyjohnson Thanks Johnny! good to hear from you :)

[chocobo77]

good pick ups..i like the genesis superman cover, gotta get that.

[thomas3120]

@chocobo77 Thanks, and it's a great game to boot hehe :D

[CampbellFitness]

Great pick ups. Hope you and your family/friends had a great holiday.

[thomas3120]

@CampbellFitness Thanks & Happy New Years to you and yours! :D

[Utoobyourself]

Great finds on Alex Kidd. That was my favorite game on SMS...:)

[thomas3120]

@Utoobyourself Thanks! :) Do you still have it?

[QuickSciFi]

Great pickups. I love Death & Return of Superman. It's so underrated.

Thumbs up on Knuckles Chaotix!

[thomas3120]

@QuickSciFi Thanks Carlos!

[russell56443]

Great Pick up's!

Alex Kid,LOLO,Hogan's Alley are Awesome,I dont have the TMNT MP yet or the Superman one's P :0(

Never heard of Black Thorne but that looks cool and Moto cross might be good?

Knuckels Chaotix looks interesting and Soul Feace is a must mave for me

Sonic Adv is A Kick Ass game,Have one and 2 on the Dreamcast!

Those Inlays are Awesome!

I tried painting and masking and had pretty good results,my NES looks pretty sweet in it's Wii Anniversery colors!

[thomas3120]

@russell56443 Thanks Russell, Blackthorne is really fun (at least for me? lol) Motocross is a decent dirtbike racing game.

I really would like to get a black dye. I've seen some vids on it looks like it might be really durable (I guess since it's a dye)

[syphic]

Great stuff man! Great find on Alexx Kid in shinobi world. Pretty rare title.

[thomas3120]

@syphic Thanks Syphic! Ahh cool, did not know that :)

[IntellivisionDude]

Great finds dude. That Nes/Atari controller is looking nice.

[thomas3120]

@IntellivisionDude Thanks Rob! Yeah the colors are a bit off after the print. Just have to adjust them a bit in PS

[cyanidebreathmintz]

Epic win scoring Death and Return of Superman!!..its a beat-em-up ive been meaning to get for ages but the Jap version is ooooober rare (as is pal) ! good haul with excellent tiles, and some that i need to check out!

[thomas3120]

@cyanidebreathmintz Hey Ben, you're alive lol ;) hehe good to hear from you.

Yeah loving DRS very much :D Hope all is good and Happy New Year!

[youtubasoarus]

Cool pickups Thomas! And yeah I think that Manhattan Project Ninja Turtles game is pretty rare. Sweet finds on the Saturn and Sega CD games! I have only seen those one or two times in the many years i've gone game hunting.

[thomas3120]

@youtubasoarus Thanks James :) Yeah was pretty stoked on finding TMNT MP for $2 :) Yeah, I don't see many Saturn games :/

Happy New Year!

[measuringstick]

ive never really give the sega cd a chance, i played sonic cd and thats about it

[thomas3120]

@measuringstick There's some good titles and there's some not so good hehe :)

[JEZZBOVISION]

Alex Kidd in Shinobi World!!! SWEEET! I hope Duke on the Saturn is good!!! Cool Atari Controller template! Merry Christmas!

[thomas3120]

@DynastyWarriors6 Thanks :)

[coachmillsblog]

Well done. Always enjoy watching your videos.

[thomas3120]

@coachmillsblog Thanks Mills :)

[Baruracrash]

Dude! Fantastic haul there! Sonic CD is supposed to be what some call the best in the series!

Really nice work on the controller as well, it looks really sharp.

Anywho, brilliant video as always, I've never seem a Master System cart with a blue grid on it, I must check out my ones to see.

Also, looking at old brouchers is an amazing feeling, I got some from Master System knocking around, the feeling never changes! :D

Anywho, happy holidays dude, and have a merry new year as well!

[thomas3120]

@Baruracrash Thanks :) Yeah really liking Sonic CD. & Happy New Year!

[CorporalColeco]

That controller is awesome...!

[thomas3120]

@CorporalColeco Thanks! :)

[luckas30]

Nice pick-ups! :)

[thomas3120]

@luckas30 Thanks Luckas :)

[starsoldier1]

2 bucks for Lolo... nice!

[thomas3120]

@starsoldier1 Thanks man :) never played Lolo though hehe. Will have to give it a try soon

[Kozakczuk]

Those inlays for the modded controls are awesome! Happy Seasons!

[thomas3120]

@Kozakczuk Thanks! And a Happy New year to you :)

[unearthVII]

great loot my friend!!!

[thomas3120]

@unearthVII Thanks! :) btw, how's the modded NES top loader doing? Still working good?

[AnonymousRevelations]

Never heard of Alex Kidd in Shinobi World...looks interesting. Knuckles Chaotix and Sonic CD are both excellent games. Looking forward to see what you have for trade. I have a ton of stuff I am looking to trade. Those Atari controllers look great. Merry Christmas!

[thomas3120]

@AnonymousRevelations Thanks! :) Hope you had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year as well!

[cgratton]

I like the overlays. I've been meaning to do the mod myself.

If you paint the outside of the controller wood grain it would look like you were playing a block of wood.

[thomas3120]

@cgratton Thanks! Yeah, not hard. Also you can keep the Start and select area and cut around it np (if you don't feel like filling in the area).

[nogrules]

Nice pickups! Lolo is fun. Death and return of Super Man is one of my favorites, It's lucky that you have it complete. I like the woodgrain controller It looks Awesome. Happy Hoildays and all the best in the New Year.

[thomas3120]

@nogrules Thanks NoG :) Yeah always wanted to get TDRS but gave in to ebay lol..

Wasn't too bad though

[LoricElf]

Awesome stuff man!! Good assortment of games and I really WANT one of those controllers! What a great idea... and it looks so smooth over the start & select buttons.

[thomas3120]

@LoricElf Thanks Loric! see if I can correct the color issue and print out a few dozen different layouts :)

[Tino777]

Some excellent pick ups with some real rare gems. That superman game death and return is really rare and expensive for the megadrive over here.

[thomas3120]

@Tino777 Thanks Tino, yeah had to get that one online for probably the typical ebay price..but have been wanting to get it for some time now :)

[narox]

What the heck 2012 already. :) Hey nice gamepad overlays.

[thomas3120]

@narox Almost now hehe ;) a few hours away.  Thanks Narox!@ and good to hear from you :)

[Polaventris]

2$ for old 8-bit cartidges? I never see anything like that around here. I might find PS2 sports games for equivalent value here, but cartidges, no way.

[thomas3120]

@Polaventris Yeah, my goodwill is pretty good/laid back. And I know the employees and manager there. But many times I go and there's nothing. A few times you get lucky finding something good :)

[atarileaf]

Happy Festivus! Its time for the airing of grievences! I've got a lot of problems with you people!!! :D

Great pickups and I love the pad overlays. Very professional.

[thomas3120]

@atarileaf Lol! The festivus for the rest of us hehe :)

Grievencess? ;) Yeah the overlays turned out ok...need to go back into photoshop and adjust the color though. Kind of like what happened the first print of the Sega Fusion logo/decal. Think he said something like using only true colors? ...not sure.

Hope you have a great New Year J!

ahh, btw, been tinkering around again with the Coco3's RGB out. Seems like Tandy decided to use a positive sync. instead of negative..working on a fix.

[atarileaf]

@thomas3120 Oh yea, I forgot all about your coco RGB project. Yes I definitely look forward to seeing how that fares. Very interesting. :)

[earthguardian2]

blackthorne is from blizzard



[thomas3120]

@earthguardian2 Yep :) my mistake, should've known that :P as I loved the Warcraft and Diablo games

[MrVenom1974]

Merry Christmas and really nice pickups. 2 Bucks for Mario Bros, Adventures Of Lolo, Califormia Games. - wow very cool! And Duke Nukem 3D - the good old times of the Dukster. ;-)

[thomas3120]

@MrVenom1974 Thanks :) Hope you had a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year.

I had a Duke Nukem game on the PC a while back, can't remember which one though.
