When I found my Sega Genesis sign while cleaning up my basement I thought to put it in the "Small Scores" thread.  I eventually decided against it, reasoning that since I had technically already scored it didn't belong (though I didn't think anyone would object).  Now I'm really glad I abstained after finding my second (and final, likely) bunch of stuff.  Starting off we have...   


A box full of Zip disks?  Yep, for some reason I had collected a big box full of Zip disks.  For the most part they are unopened and are mixed between the 100MB and 250MB variants (much more 100MB though).  What am I doing with a box of largely unopened Zip disks?  No idea.  I'll Ebay them, I think.  This is boring, I know.  Next we have:


A Xbox action replay disc.  Like the Zip Disks, not really exciting, but what also was found (not in the pic, though) is my Xbox Action Replay USB interface, which means I can soft-mod my second Xbox (once I obtain a copy of the first Splinter Cell) so I can play Morrowind the way it was meant to be played: With less than 60 second loading times!



A strange light gun.  Going by the connector (a DB9) it is either for the Atari VCS or the Sega Genesis, with the more likely choice being the VCS.  Now I know that some of you already recognize it, but I had to do a bit of research.  I ended up finding that the controller goes for a game called Spitfire Attack.  I immediately noticed the missing parts  (the massive sight and when I compared it with the pics on Atari Age, which kind of sucks but then I don't have the game either so does it matter?  Hmm.  I need to find some "C" batteries to see if it works.  Next is:


Two Turbografx-16 with power bricks and controllers.  One of the controllers appears to be broken, while I'm not sure about the other one.  Will have to test on Keith Courage (crossover!).


One of those water-hoop/ball games from a simpler time.  I actually do remember buying this at a local thrift store.  I originally thought it to be defective, as it was missing the plug in the bottom (or so it appeared), but it works fine anyways.  I love these things.  For my final find:



This one is very personal.  It is an old binder that I used to store maps, cuttings from magazines, and codes for video games.  Flipping through this was a ton of fun.  Hmm.  Somehow I think suspect those Metroid codes won't work...



In the binder is a ton of strange crap.  Pack in slips that came with my original T-16 and a invite to my local mall where Nintendo set up a ton of SNES demos as well as a dedicated Super Scope range.


Maps I drew of Lagoon for SNES (a gift from my Cool Aunt) and a crazy map of the Hundra Mountain section of a game (Crystalis?).



Well, that's it.  I can go back to pushing through Ironsword for my Summer Game Challenge.  Yikes, and summer is nearly over!
