Console pick-up of a lifetime!

[RetroInjection]

My lifetime, specifically.

For purposes of completion, the Game Gear came with an NHL All-Star Hockey cartridge.

I haven't yet tested the Colecovision steering wheel or the Pac-Man tabletop game, as I don't have the right size batteries. Everything else has been tested, and the verdict is in: The Game Boy Color, the cruddy Colecovision and two SNES controllers do not work. All the remaining stuff works!

The Fairchild Channel F plays Pong OK and the controllers work, but the Hockey option doesn't seem to play. I don't have a cartridge to try on it.

The Master System works except for the "reset" button. Whatever. I don't know if the 3-D adapter works, because I don't have the glasses.

The crown jewel is a very nice Colecovision. The controllers are in great shape, as well. I am really happy with this console, because I was Craigslist scammed on my first one: The guy met me in a parking lot to trade me his "working great" Colecovision for my N64. Needless to say, his console wasn't working great. Thankfully, shortly thereafter, I was able to get another N64 for just a few bucks.

Some of this stuff will eventually be for sale.

Nice pick up.

That looks like the exact same stuff I put on the curb a few months ago.
I used to be a big time collector and had boxes and boxes of controllers/systems,cords. Hauled them around 5 different moves. Finally said "bump this". Tried to give them to a local used game store and they didn't want them, so put them on the curb and they were gone in a few hours.

One mans trash....yada,yada, time to move on

I had the Colecovision turbo wheel and the super action controllers when they were new. That was a great system and the last real console I enjoyed before going all in with my Commodore 64.
I remember when it came out - it was its Donkey Kong that sold the system. Other favorites were Looping, Space Panic, BC Quest for Tires, Rocky boxing, th Super action baseball game and of course Turbo. Oh yea- also Smurf adventures!

Nice pick up, I'd be interested in a Saturn if they work. Been having issues with mine.. also really looking for a/v and power hookups for that exact saturn console unit.. if you would spare some of just those (maybe if a unit is broken) that would be awesome.

Sweet haul man, time to break out the toothbrushes and soap.

The Saturns both work. I tested them with the hookups for my Japanese system; they did not come with any hookups, though. I am going to be keeping one, but I would sell the other. Feel free to PM me if you are interested. Thanks!

Check the batteries on the Saturns. They might leak.

You can use other 3-D glasses for the Master System. It's only a certain type but I have seen that it is possible that the right kind of glasses can be used with it that aren't the originals.

Check the batteries on the Saturns. They might leak.

A CR2032 leak? Nigh impossible...given they're lithium-md, and in pretty tiny concentration, and lacking the (proportionately) electrolyte paste found in an alkaline.
I have NEVER seen a CR2032 leak, if they did anything it would be vent, and they're far from capable of doing the damage an alkaline can in their form factor.

Thanks so very, very much for that information. So never check the battery? Wow, good thinking there.

What is the blue Master System cart? Those are considered rarer. I've actually never seen a blue cart for any game in person.

 

[kencinder]

The first 3 are 100% corrosion, from moisture, not leaks. The 4th could potentially be a vent but it obviously didn't "leak" and destroy anything around it.

I'd be interested in the Fairchild Channel F depending on price.

PM sent, good sir.

It's Double Dragon, and it works 100%. Shoot me a PM if you are interested in it. I have a (standard) copy of the game already; I picked it up because it was the blue version. I'll do $15 shipped on it.

 

[RetroInjection]

The Coleco Pac-Man doesn't power up at all.

 

[keithsarcade]

I'll pass on the Channel F, didn't know they were worth that much. Might be in for the DD though if Caldwert doesn't want it. What other games did you get? Is that a hookup for the 3D glasses I spy hooked up to the system?

 

[caldwert]

I'll pass on the Double Dragon, it's yours if you want it
