Mostly I've been lurking as of late. Life and reasons have kept me busy. There have been game finds going on though, in fact I have a bit more to show but that'll have to wait.
Thrift store game magazines. This seems like a pretty good selection of old paper to me.

My wife got a new phone that does google cardboard. That VR sort of thing on your phone. Looking at the different options for what viewer to get I ordered this one, slightly more than the actual cardboard ones, it is way more comfortable and came with a simple remote. We haven't played with it too much, life keeping us busy as mentioned above, but the little we did play with it was fun.

PRGE 2016 happened and I was there! Well, there for part of it at least. I missed out on seeing fellow RFG people because I didn't get to go on Saturday. Hopefully we can all catch up next year, or at one of the other game events coming up.
Of course we got some laser discs. My wife walked around with them for a bit purposely facing out Enemy Mine. Gets people talking to you for sure.

I haven't ever seen Kagemusha but with a provenance like this, it can't be bad. When my brother in law saw the stuff we got from PRGE, this was what he was most excited about.

Some random stuff. Not pictured is the Wii Fitness board and board holder that came with that workout kit, all three pieces were $1. Notice the price of $0.00 on the box. Apparently resellers don't think highly of Wii Fit stuff.

PSP UMD movies my wife picked out for hardly anything. Plus a handmade Pokemon button that is going to a six year old I know. She talks to me about Pokemon all the time but I know almost nothing about it. I can name about 3 of them if I really think about it.

Filled in the INTV collection a bit. There was big INTV showing at PRGE, I talked with the Inellivisionaries guys for quite a while. Bought the Commando game from the guy who does
https://www.naberhood.com/ He also had some even harder to find games but they were a bit much for me. Finally found a game for the e-reader and the Wonderswan. Two consoles I own but had no games for. The Wonderswan game is new too. Plus a speech synthesizer for the Ti994a. The booth I got that from was pretty impressive, kinda made me want to check out that machine more.

The last several years I've been at PRGE, I always end up talking to this guy who has Odyssey^2 games I don't have, ones from other regions in other words. This year I talked with him for quite awhile. This is probably one of the exact carts I've looked at in years past. Also the most expensive single item I bought at the show. I don't think I can play it on my basic US console but it's one game closer to a complete worldwide library, something I am only casually pursuing.

The show was great as always. I didn't spend as much as normal but could have easily. I posted a little more of the actual show here in another thread

I hope you don't mind me not taking pictures in my usual spot, but at least you get to see one of our comfy retro chairs. And I'm also dealing with a stuffy-head-cold so if my writing isn't up to it's normal epic world class prose, I'm sorry for that too
