I helped my grandma clean junk out of her house on Thursday. She let me keep whatever I wanted. I found a few things and brought them home in Dad's old Commodore 64 box.

I obtained Dad’s old Atari 2600 and whatever games it had last year. I can’t remember if PAC-MAN was among them. It doesn’t matter much, though, since neither of my two 2600s actually works.

It’s unfortunate, but something tells me I’m not missing much.

I highly recommend Atari 50. Even if it doesn't have a complete library, the experience is great, and gives an opportunity to play a lot of Atari's catalog spawning multiple generations.

The weather is starting to get a bit chilly, but as long as there are yard sales, I will go. This is one of my favorite sales, I believe they have it twice a year.

Movies were $1 each, Mario Kart was $14. A lot of movies going into the PC. Top row is all sealed.
image
Don't know too much about this, but it was $10. It is basically a Roku box?

You got a shield for $10? That’s a score. Those can do lots of cool stuff.

Speaking of board games...
image
This one tends to go for a lot of money on eBay used... and I won a sealed one on auction for one dollar. The seller listed it as "Atmosphere" instead of "Atmosfear", and the auction ended at 7 AM, so the night before I bid like three bucks on it and won it. Shipping was also cheap, set to six bucks... and the seller got kinda angry because I paid before he could adjust the cost. Um. I feel kinda sorry for the guy, I've made that mistake before too.
This is one of those unusual DVD board games I never thought I'd be able to grab for cheap. Go figure.

I had this growing up. I don't really recall playing it though, maybe once. I think my brother still has it in storage somewhere.

Killer deal on the Shield. They're WAY more versatile than a Roku or Kindle Fire. I've been hoping to find a decent deal on one to use as an emu station.

Found this for $40 at a thrift store today, ibm as400/e 9406 tower. Seems it's used for business / Healthcare databases? A broken similar model sold for $720 plus shipping and working they're listed for $1000+
Anyone have any info on this? If there's anything cool I could do with it or how to test it, what it's used for?

The Wii FE game would be Radiant Dawn. Unless you actually got Path of Radiance, in which case you are extremely lucky.

Pretty good either way :D
Also an interesting factoid on Radiant Dawn is it got reprinted late and those copies did not include a manual. No way to know which one this is, but there are sealed copies with no manual out there even.

I know I have a sealed copy of Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn and it must be one of the reprints because it doesn't feel very heavy.

Should be able to tell by gently shaking it a bit I'd think.

can't you just shine a light through the side and see if there's a book through the bottom?

Out of curiosity, I weighed my copies. Without manual is 4 ounces, with the manual is 6 ounces. So that's how to see which sealed version you have.
