That's a Mad Catz RetroCON. I remember the buzz surrounding that when it came out. Everyone assumed it'd have a Gamecube version as well. In any case, with a PlayStation to USB adapter, it makes a nice PC gamepad as well.

I second that!  I would really like to find one of those as well.  AND it lights up......sweet!

So I was walking through one of the malls headed toward a Play n Trade store when I saw they were having one of those large book sales.  I started to look through and noticed they had movies, CD's etc. as well.  I looked down and saw a Nintendo 64 box and thought "Sweet!" but upon further inspection I noticed it was a VHS tape.  It was a Nintendo Power promo video for Diddy Kong Racing for the N64.  So I started looking for more and found another Diddy Kong, an N64 system release VHS and a Starfox 64 release that also has something about the rumble pack on it.  I have not had time to watch these yet, but I thought they were an interesting find.  It seems these were sent to Nintendo Power subscribers in '96 and/or '97.  Here is a photo (not mine as my camera is dead):

^ I come across them every so often at yardsales.  There neat to have and have some background history on the making of the game.

I found a new copy of Tetris DS online for $35 shipped tonight. They claim it's the US version, but I am skeptical because of the reasonable price. We'll see what I get. If it is indeed the US version, I'd be thrilled. You can't find it new for anywhere near that price on eBay.

I bought New Super Mario Brothers (US) used for a friend last night. It was on another forum. It was £12 which isn't bad considering the UK version is no cheaper than £21 new or used. I told him if he doesn't want the US version he can have my UK version and I'll keep the US one.




[Edit] From the same forum I just bought:

Original Playstation Console
Official Dualshock Controller
3rd Party Controller
G-Con 45 (Boxed with Adaptor) (x2)
Boxed Mad Catz (Licensed) Steering Wheel + Pedals
Predator Light Gun
Official memory card

and the following boxed games;

Die Hard Trilogy
Time Crisis
Disney's Hercules
Penny Racers
Croc: Legend of the Gobbo's
Toca Touring Car Championship

All for £20 delivered.

Found a box of 2600 games marked $1 each at the thrift today. Picked out a copy of Pitfall and Yars Revenge. It was half off day so they were 50 cents each.
