My favorite small vintage gaming stuff

So all of this is a part of the MUCH larger gaming collection. Consoles, accessories, handhelds, and games. These are some of my favorite “small” items.

So first we have Merlin. I knew nothing about him, just that he was my dad’s. After some research and playing around with it I discovered that he is basically like Simon. Simon before Simon. He is in working order

Tandy Space shot. So Tandy actually also made a handheld Galaga (which is pretty rare in working order) but space shot is kind of like a knock off. This was also originally my dad’s. It is in working order.

Buckmaster’s Huntin’. My neighbor gave this to me for my collection and though it is NOT my kinda thing it is extremely sentimental. It works.

Namco plug and play. It’s Pac-Man. It was extremely corroded inside and at the av tips. I did a lot of work on it and it is now in working order. I love that it is styled to mimic the arcade cabinet.

Gameboy(s) and gameboy color. So, the gameboy color is MODIFIED. It was originally a teal (I kept the original case). I gave $2 for it at a yard sale. As a kid I had the atomic purple and desperately wanted an atomic purple for my collection as an adult (mine was lost to time). I didn’t have that kind of money to dish out, so I bought a mod kit and did that. The OG gameboys are kinda funny. So I got one at a yard sale for like a nickel (and I’ve had it for forever), the other I bought at a gaming store for $5. The owner thought that it was broken and was selling it for parts, and I needed one for a cosplay and didn’t want to destroy mine or a working one. Turned it on, turned the brightness down…yeah. It wasn’t broken. So now I have two.

A complete set of the OG Pokemon games. Not much to say. It’s Pokemon yellow, green, red, blue, crystal, silver, and gold. I have two copies of gold, one came with the set and one I’ve had since I was a kid.

Unopened R-zone cartridge. It was here when we moved in and I kept it because it was mint condition. I’d love to get an R-zone so I could play it. It’s a game called Panzer Drangoon. I don’t know anything about it.

Unopened DS lite pack. So it’s a stylus, microfiber cloth, two screen protectors and 2 SpongeBob game cases. I love weird DS collectibles and had to have this since it was unopened.

Last and definitely least, Mad Catz GameCube memory card. I would absolutely NEVER use this. I HATE Mad Catz, but I kept this as a cool gaming history piece, again because it’s unopened. Got this for free, so I can’t be mad at it.
