Nice find today :)

So, I head to my local thrift store with one goal and that was to find an A/V switch so I can plug all my consoles into my one tv. I'm searching under every single piece of junk on the shelf, and I can't find what I need.

Anyways I back away from the shelf, and I'm about to walk off when I see a box that says "Core System" on it (that was all that was visible to me).

Anyways those words caught my interest, but I wasn't sure what kind of surprise I was in for, so I crouch down, and push a few things out of the way and low and behold a boxed Sega Genesis is sitting in front of me! :D I made a post or two recently about how I have been scouting for a great deal on Ebay for one of these puppies, but was having no luck.

The thing cost $10. I figured if it was boxed then the owner probably had enough sense to take care of it too, so I grabbed it up quickly. Then headed over to my local Play N Trade, and the guy working there was so excited for me that he gave me a complete boxed version of Golden Axe to test out my new system for free.

So I think I made away with a steal. Boxed Genesis (No instructions sadly), with a six-button controller (this didn't come with this system originally), an original plug and r/f switch, and a complete great-condition Golden Axe game for $10 :D

btw it works flawlessly :D

That's a great deal, I've had some people give me nice deals like that. I never did own a Genesis though. By the way, Golden Axe is one of my favorite and most nostalgic beat em' ups of all time. I never owned the physical Genesis version, but have played it and used to own the Genesis port for Gameboy Advance.

so... let me get this straight... you were looking for a more conveniant way to plug in your systems... but instead you bought ANOTHER system?garrett_duffman

Yes :lol:

Now I have an NES, SNES, N64, Dreamcast, PS2, and my Genesis to all plug into one tv :D

very nice man, I wouldn't mind picking up a genesis sometime.

Cool, you finally got one! Get Sonic 2! And Streets of Rage!

thats not a bad deal at all. Usually you only get a deal on the console w/o any cords or controllers. then buying an AC adapter, AV cords and the controller cost you even more. now you just need to hit some yard sales on saturday morning. get some cheap sega games. and at yard sales you can always bargin with people.

Now that you have a Genesis, get a copy of "Twin Cobra"... your thumbs will hate you for it in a good way! :D

Well, I think I figured out why it was at a thrift store. :P

I turned it on today, and got this really fuzzy picture, so I was like "OH NO!!!!!:cry: ) and figured I would switch channels with the switch in the back. Well that little switch is broken off :P With a little tweaking the picture is perfect, so it's no biggie really. The system doesn't move when I play anyways.
