Pulling from Wang's unbelievable stock of old school games and hardware, plus a little bit of my own, we've started listing stuff on ebay just last night. Right now we've got 26 listings active, with a lot more coming and the next batch hitting this Sunday. If you're interested, stop on by: Retro Gaming Addict ebay sales This is just our first wave of listings...coming soon are new in box(sealed) NES, SNES, Genesis, PS2, PSX, Nintendo DS and Gamecube games. Plus we'll be listing hardware like a SuperGrafx(in box!), Pioneer Laser MD(with Sega Pac) and three "games", SNES, Genesis and more! Most of the stock comes from my partner, and resides now in my apt...and I've gotta tell you: It's incredible. I've never seen a collection of stuff like this before. I'm playing systems I've only ever read about! All of it will hit ebay, ALL OF IT! Our next wave of listings starts Sunday...hope to see you there. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us via ebay, my personal email(on WAG) or here on the forums. Thanks, Bel

I'm willing to take a refund if you want to get out a label printer and copy this guy's ultra rare copy. It's up to you. ;) http://cgi.ebay.com/ULTRA-RARE-Contra-III-The-Alien-Wars-NOT-FOR-RESALE_W0QQitemZ220400748958QQcmdZViewItemQQptZVideo_Games_Games?hash=item220400748958&_trksid=p3911.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1205\|66%3A2\|65%3A12\|39%3A1\|240%3A1318\|301%3A1\|293%3A1\|294%3A50

Wang wants to save the Mega LD for about a while yet... Played a few "games" on it the other night...it's kind of fun. I liked Pyramid Patrol...but I just can't see keeping the entire system just for that. It is nice that it plays Genesis and Sega CD games, and then you can buy that NEC Pac to play TG16/PC Engine cards and CDs as well. Pretty wild system...huge too. We managed to get Gauntlet Legends in when we bought a DC lot the other day...finally got to play it. Man, I really dig it. I hated the old Gauntlet games, but this one is just so much fun. I love the 3DFX graphics too...brings me back. I also got to play Wacky Races on DC. Wasn't that the first cell shaded game ever? Man, it's pretty good, I like it! I think that's the best part about this whole venture, as Wang buys new stuff in, I get to play with it before we sell it! Bel BTW, I haven't been ignoring the forums, I've just been so busy with RGA(listings, the site, organizing, buying in, etc), plus I've still got my stuff for The Examiner too. Anyway, I'll get to some posts at some point, promise. :)

I'd really like a Laseractive simply for the S-video port. On my RPTV I have a feeling that Genesis/TG16 games would look great with S-video quality.

Wacky Races preceded JSR by a couple of months if I recall. I actually enjoyed Gauntlet Legends on DC also, I keep meaning to pick it up but not for the usual $30.

Yeah, I know it...it's always expensive as fuck(as is the Xbox version). I am actually going to bid on it, hopefully I can get it for around $10. Bel

Let me say that nothing is as nice as plugging in an Atari or Colecovison (have to test this stuff, been sitting in my closet for too long), with adapters, just to see them in all their glory on a LED DLP. Ugh, those pixels are so HUGE. Bel is right, if you keep a CRT TV around it great for all those systems that were not designed for HDTVs. d(>_<)b Don't ask me how to get that backwards "b"

Administrator Posts: 8,749 Group: Admin Member #1 Joined: August 23, 2004	Finally got the website up and running(someone jumped the gun and started the listings on Tuesday instead of Sunday, as we had originally planned). ;) It's quite basic, but gives you a quick overview of everything we've got up and then allows you to look at larger pics of the items and hear some inane commentary by myself and the guys... http://www.retrogamingaddict.com/ Stop on by if you get bored. ;) Bel

I got mine off there not too long ago for 200 points (equivalent to $10). Actually doesn't look like anyone has a complete there right now, just disc only at the moment.

Administrator Posts: 8,749 Group: Admin Member #1 Joined: August 23, 2004	Yeah, I think I will look in to it. I am have been pretty disgusted with GameTZ, so the thought of "points" and just getting what you want once you hit that amount sounds really good! BTW, last day of auctions for our first wave! If you want anything, now is the time to start bidding! Bel

I've got 7 games pending in right now and another 3 waiting for confirmation from the seller. (that house of the dead on wii made for some nice points)

Please see the post above for a quick run down on what's available, or visit us at RGA.com for more info. If you were bidding on an item when it was taken down, we apologize and encourage you to come on back. :) Our next wave will consist of nothing but system lots! Complete systems(boxes, manuals, etc) will be packed with games, accessories and more in an effort to keep my girlfriend from walking out on me due to the fact that there is approximately six feet of space in my entire apt that one can move around in at any given time. These systems have got to go...even my cat is complaining! Look for units of N64, SuperGrafx, Pioneer Laser Active(with Sega Pac), Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis, Game Gear(Blue), Sega Master System, Dreamcast and more in just one week's time. Bel

This week we've got system packages for the Genesis, SNES, Japanese and US Saturn, Pioneer LaserActive, Game Gear, Dreamcast, NES and more! We've got a Netlink, PC and Mac games, The Official Nintendo Player's Guide, a Radica Arcade Legends unit and just about everything else in between....stop on by and have a look: http://www.retrogamingaddict.com/ As always, if you have any questions please feel free to contact us via ebay, my personal email, on RGA or here on the forums. :) Bel

Now that virtually all Saturn software must be purchased online, a lot of people can't or won't give it a fair shot. Just keep this in mind... Bel
