Sega Dreamcast and Saturn Pickups

As promised, my recent Sega pickups.

Picked up the Manual for Expendable off eBay, now my copy is complete.

And, from Amazon, A factory sealed Dreamcast game. Coaster Works. It was $5.xx, I forget the exact amount. I do plan on opening it, and playing it though. Not much of a factory sealed collector, Games are meant to be played.

 Another Amazon purchase, an Action Replay Plus for the Sega Saturn. Lots more memory than the internal memory, and as a side bonus, I can now play import games on my Saturn. Time to order some Japaneese and European games we didn't get in the U.S.
 The Cartridge, see that port in the back of the Saturn is for something.
And, Installed.

Wait, is that 2 Black Sega Sports Dreamcast Controllers? Didn't I finally just get one to go with my Sports Dreamcast that didn't come with one?

Well, I was perusing Craigslist one afternoon, when I found someone selling a Sega Dreamcast Lot for $40.00. I looked at the ad, and it was the Black Sega Sports Edition, and it had the controller. I paid $40.00 for the first one I bought (See Blog HERE), and I just decided I needed a second one.

I actually wanted another one to modify. I want to remove the Sega Sports Logo from it, and replace the internal battery with a replaceable lithium ion battery. I saw an article and video on you tube, but didn't want to do it to my perfectly good working Dreamcast, just in case.

Anyway, it took a few days of things coming up, but finally the guy was out shopping near my neighborhood, and delivered it to me in the apartment complex parking lot.


And it came with a Bonus Genesis Mortal Kombat 3 Manual. I don't have that game yet, so will hold onto it in case I get a copy without. I am also selling the Fishing Rod Controller, White Controller and VMU to recoup a few bucks.

Went to hook it all up to test it out, and was going to pop in a game, and when I opened it up, Bam:
Free Bonus Game! Vigilante 8 Second Offense

Awesome, I didn't have that game on any system. It fired right up, system and game played perfectly. I tested all the controllers, etc.. Great Deal for $40.00!

UPDATE: I sold the Fishing Rod Controller for $15.00, and the White Controller and VMU for $15.00. Making this a $10.00 Deal, Not Bad!

Video Games, Toys & Controller Pickups

Xmas Presents, and other misc video game pickups incoming.

The cat is enthralled with the game stack

Lets get the Disney Infinity Figures out of the way 1st.

 Picked up Kylo Ren & Boba Fett, forgot to take pictures when I first got them in the package.

Picked this one up today, I don't even know who this is? I believe he is from the Rebels Cartoon? I have it in my Netflix queue, just haven't gotten around to watching it (and a hundred other things LoL)
I Really only got him because he had the Light up Lightsaber.

A Hot Wheels Forza Motorsport car. There were 5 different ones, I got the Ford GT, since that is the one on the cover of the Forza Motorsport 6 game. Would like to get the other 4, but at $5.50 a piece, not a necessity.

And another Power A item. (see my review of their controllers HERE)
My daughter ended up with 3 of these for Xmas, and passed one off to her daddy


On to the Games!


 The Elder Scolls Skyrim was an Xmas present from my Wife, looking forward to spending many more hours going through again. This time I started with a Bow, as opposed to a two handed weapon
I picked up The Elder Scrolls Online for myself as a Stocking Stuffer at Best Buy for $4.99 just before Xmas.
 Far Cry Primal from my Parents, and Titanfall 2 from my 5 year old.

The Gears of War 4 and Forza Horizon 3 from my Daughter and her Boyfriend.

My wifes gaming presents (which means I get to play them too)

 Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire

Yoshi's New Island from my Daughter

And my Wifes Birthday is January 17th, but I had her open one of her presents today, since we spend the weekends playing Call of Duty and Minecraft together.

My wife loves Pink, and sent me a picture of this Dawn Shadow controller back in Sept.
So, I ordered it for her for her birthday. She Loves it, and I really like the black home button.

Thats it for now, I do have some Sega things I also picked up recently, just gotta get around to Pictures and such. Stay Tuned!
