Catch the mist, catch the myth Catch the mystery, catch the thrift.

The summer heat making the hunt for retro video games even sweeter with some nice weather for a change. After picking the city dry this last month I was expecting the finds to be a bit more lack luster then the run of retro consoles I found.

PS1 Oh no more lemmings 49p, 

Coded arms 99p, 

classic Lemmings and a 1st person shooter for psp.

Undead knights £1.99 On Ebay about £10 mark, And this sweet Return of the jedi Tin for £2.99.

Found This copy of official PlayStation magazine from April 2003 Its a strange read reminding you of the fact that the PS1 really did kick around for ages after the PS2 and games still coming out all the way up to 2005

Nice play on words, Looking to the back of this magazine you will Find the A-Z of ps1 games, It gives you eBay prices and this was the genesis of how I started to Get info on the value of these games, Official ps1 and PlayStation power had a-z's like this a must for the days without the Internet.

Sid Meier's golf £1, Turns out its pretty sort after, and season 1 of family guy for £1 how could you pass on that.

I traded GTA liberty  city stories, and Got digital devil saga 2 and Rogue Galaxy at CEX.

 

Random item of the week goes to these blow up pair of legs WTF?

 Resident evil outbreak for £1.99 and bubble bobble/rainbow island £1.99 no resale on this just fancy playing it again, A really tidy silent hill 2 £2.99 and thief 1&2 for £1.99.

Somethings that is always hard pressed to find in Hull is Things in cardboard boxes, Big box pc stuff seems to last, Stuff like sonic and knuckles in the box and mostly all snes games are scares, To the left you can see Encarta 2000 and 99 the internet on a disc lol.

So Finding a Snes game in the box is pretty fricking miraculous in the first place, but it been one I have been ask to find is Astronomically unfeasible, That game is zombies it is a £35 buy it now Behemoth of a game and boxed in hull for 50p is insane and after finding that snes a few weeks ago with boxed games, 
I ended up finding another one off the short list I am left gob smacked.

Pretty pleased with myself with only a few shops left to do on my run, I pick up This for 50p to try out on my laptop to see if it runs, Thinking I am about to Rap this thrift up since I just pissed away 50p on Dark messiah. Then in the last shop I see this.

£10 for a Sega Game Gear with the TV Tuner, Of course the tv tuner doesn't work anymore because the analogue signal has been turned off, But I always wanted that thing as a kid, nice historical piece, The power cable, Carry case, 4 games paper boy, Sonic chaos, Columns and Land of illusion. The screen is perfect too no clouding or blur like lots of these things ended up like and a really nice selection of games with this and a great price.
