- Magic the Gathering cards:

- Old Vinyl Records: Big stack of old vinyls. I don't know the condition or values on any of these, but get in touch if anything interests you and I can get specific pics taken and check conditions. I'll check values on ebay to get an idea but won't be looking for full value or anything since I can't test them. Image and full list of albums is behind the spoiler tag.

- Commodore 64 Games, Software, and Printer: The lot includes an MPS-803 dot matrix printer with tractor unit; a zipper case with boxes for storage of discs or other components; a set of accounting/banking software applications; and games including Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, Robocop, HardBall, Wheel of Fortune, Road Runner, Impossible Mission II, and Triple Crown Challenge. Triple Crown Challenge is the only game I have the box for, but for all the others I have the floppies and instructions. I have just the manuals for Gauntlet and Blockbuster but sadly can't find the game floppies. The software all have their boxes and manuals. I've plugged the printer in and it still powers on just fine. Obviously I can't fully test its operability beyond that without a Commodore 64 to hook it to. I'd like to sell everything together, but if you only want individual things I'm cool with that too. PM me if you're interested and would like to make an offer.

January 2023 Edition - *n64* Doom 64

Doom 64 was released as a brand new Doom campaign for the *n64* Nintendo 64, set after the events of Final Doom. While not extremely successful or lauded upon its release, the game has become somewhat of a cult classic over the years for its difficulty and atmosphere, in part due to a spooky ambient soundtrack from Aubrey Hodges. The game's sleeper status peaked in recent years when Bethesda dropped a remaster of the game in 2020 for modern platforms at a bargain price.

May 2023 Edition - Rayman

Rayman launched an empire of cartoonish platformers, became one of Ubisoft's first unofficial mascots, and spawned a race of parasites so vile, they even mario-plus-rabbids-kingdom-battle-switch/ (secure)" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" href="https://www.nintendo.com/store/products/mario-plus-rabbids-kingdom-battle-switch/">threatened the Mushroom Kingdom. The hand-drawn hero made up for a lack of a body with excellent animations, psychadelic level design, and an incredible amount of detail to distract you from some brutal platforming and bosses. Originally intended to be a Jaguar exclusive, the first Rayman adventure fell onto the scene in 1995 for the PlayStation, Saturn, and PC, eventually being ported to a variety of handhelds as the horsepower became available.

April 2023 Edition - Golden Sun

Golden Sun was published by Nintendo in 2001, shortly after the launch of the Game Boy Advance. Calling back to the best RPGs of the 16-bit era, it was at the time one of the largest RPGs to ever launch for a handheld. The game is remembered years later for its unique magic system which uses spells not just for battle but for navigating the world and solving puzzles.

March 2023 Edition - Virtua Fighter

Virtua Fighter released in arcades in 1993 and is widely-considered the first 3D fighting game ever.

January 2023 Edition - *n64* Doom 64

Doom 64 was released as a brand new Doom campaign for the *n64* Nintendo 64, set after the events of Final Doom. While not extremely successful or lauded upon its release, the game has become somewhat of a cult classic over the years for its difficulty and atmosphere, in part due to a spooky ambient soundtrack from Aubrey Hodges. The game's sleeper status peaked in recent years when Bethesda dropped a remaster of the game in 2020 for modern platforms at a bargain price.

The Legend of Zelda

image

Introducing The Legend of Zelda is almost a silly proposition. The humble top-down adventure game, which began life as a Famicom Disk System launch title before porting to the Nintendo NES as the first ever cartridge with a battery save - introduced the world to the silent protagonist link, the eponymous Princess Zelda, the mysterious Triforce, and the land of Hyrule, all of which are now synonymous with Nintendo's legendary (no pun intended) tentpole franchise. Many series tropes - the treasure chest chime, life-refilling fairies, a gauntlet of eight hidden dungeons - began here, and the game's very first line of dialogue is iconic enough to deserve it's own Wikipedia page. Unsurprisingly, while the original The Legend of Zelda has never been remade or remastered, it has been ported to nearly every iteration of Nintendo's classic games library, got its own cartridge re-release for the Game Boy Advance, and even its own Game & Watch-styled modern handheld. Play The Legend of Zelda on Nintendo NES Game Boy Advance (Classic NES Series) GameCube (via The Legend of Zelda: Collector's Edition) Wii (Virtual Console) Wii U (Virtual Console) 3DS (Virtual Console) Switch (Nintendo Switch Online) NES Classic Edition The Legend of Zelda Game & Watch Finish any version or port of The Legend of Zelda to earn the 8-Bit Link badge: image

September 2023 Edition - Tomb Raider

Tomb Raider is one of the defining titles of the 32-bit generation, offering gamers a fully-3D third-person action adventure unlike anything they'd seen before. Tomb Raider introduced the world to Lara Croft, who remains even today one of the most recognizable game characters ever, known for her grit, her athletics, and various other... hmmm... aspects to her personality. While the game was launched first for the Saturn, the game is remembered as a pivotal title for the original PlayStation as well as a hallmark for the advent of 3D acceleration on the PC. The franchise spawned numerous sequels, no less than two reboots, and two mediocre forays into Hollywood, though the original game found a new life on mobile devices - including a surprisingly compitant port for the - and a modernized remake for seventh-generation platforms.

July 2023 Edition - Bionic Commando

Bionic Commando swung into arcades intent on being a successor to Capcom's Commando, but the game's protagonist - who uses a bionic telescopic arm to traverse levels and get the drop on enemies - made the title stand out among the other run-and-guns on the scene. After a number of direct ports to home computers, Capcom reimagined the game for the NES and Game Boy with more levels, faster gameplay, and unforgettable soundtracks. Both the arcade original and the console versions have been re-released countless times over the years as mainstays in Capcom collections, but Bionic Commando Re-armed for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 - a "more than a remaster" reboot that enhances the NES classic's levels and mechanics with modern graphics - gave the franchise a brief second wind and kicked off a generation of retro remakes.

May 2023 Edition - Rayman

Rayman launched an empire of cartoonish platformers, became one of Ubisoft's first unofficial mascots, and spawned a race of parasites so vile, they even mario-plus-rabbids-kingdom-battle-switch/" title="www.nintendo.com/store/products/mario-plus-rabbids-kingdom-battle-switch/ (secure)" target="_blank">threatened the Mushroom Kingdom. The hand-drawn hero made up for a lack of a body with excellent animations, psychadelic level design, and an incredible amount of detail to distract you from some brutal platforming and bosses. Originally intended to be a Jaguar exclusive, the first Rayman adventure fell onto the scene in 1995 for the PlayStation, Saturn, and PC, eventually being ported to a variety of handhelds as the horsepower became available.

March 2023 Edition - Virtua Fighter
