I haven't bought much recently, but am very happy with this sealed Game Boy Color I got from eBay. It was a second chance offer as the highest bidder pulled out

 

[Cardbackkid]

Oh that game boy brings back good memories nice pick up Ed!

 

[theforceuk]

Nice game boy colour, I remember talking about these and friends saying Nintendo couldn't make them work because the battery's didn't last! lol

 

[lejackal]

Nice one Edd!

My latest is someone less spectacular but it will give me hours of entertainment :mrgreen:

Hydro thunder for the Dreamcast

Well this is a result, I bought this for the cool box that I hadn't seen before, the seller listed it as used but it turns up and the controller is brand new

Nice one- I had a similar experience when I bought my arcade stick for the DC, although I've used it now. Funny how in SW collecting mode I wouldn't use an unused ship for example but that doesn't bother me for a retro game/controller.....anyway, here's my latest pick up- a joshprod port of Flashback for DC

Also got this promo backpack from the DC release in '99 which the seller had listed as being from the Nintendo Dreamcast :roll: :lol:

Really happy with my latest pick up, a brand new Sonic 3 Mega Drive II pack. It's all in immacuate condition, probably the best console in my collection now

 

[theforceuk]

Great thread this guys love the Mega Drive Sonic box, how many consols have you got [mention]edd_jedi[/mention] ?

 

[edd_jedi]

Thanks, I've got aout 20 in total, the earliest is the NES and latest a Wii, with most of the major consoles in between. I need to do a group shot some time.

That Megadrives' stunning Edd. It's a cool controller the Megadrive, feels sturdy and chunky, more so than the Snes ones. I bought this classic just for nostalgia, got one for a present in the early 80's

A good days hunting today, I found all these in a random mobile phone repair shop! The condition of all of them is excellent

That's a great find, love the Game Gear ones.

My latest pickups, a boxed Episode 1 Racer N64, nice NES and a Neo Geo Pocket Colour

 

[DarthHamblin]

Nice pickups, the original Nintendo was brilliant especially duck hunt.

Love seeing all this retro gaming stuff makes me want to get an old game boy and revisit some classics.

An impulse buy from CeX last week, I usually play handheld games on one of these but this was in really nice condition, so couldn't pass it up for £45. And it's actually really nice to play on the non-backlist original screen, it's easy on the eyes and feels more authentic!

 

[theforceuk]

Nice stuff, love all of it on here, that Game Boy is very nice.

This has been a labour of love, I bought it as non-working back in January and had to replace practically everything to get it working. But this new LCD screen looks a million times better than the original one so it was worth the wait!
