Auctioning ROMS for great justice

Sunday, November 15, 2009

So, there’s this little museum I want to start. But it’s a big, hairy, long ass plan, so I won’t go into it here. Suffice it to say that the IRS needs $ for the non-profit application to be considered, and it’s money I kind of don’t really have. Not to mention the money needed [...]

What is Dragon 80? Now we know!

Saturday, April 26, 2008

Most Legendary Haul at the Flea Market

Sunday, April 20, 2008

Today, we went to the Laney College Flea Market. As usual. I know I’ve written about the amazing things I’ve found at this swap meet. In the past, I got a Game & Watch, and oodles of rare old console games. But today, I found a never published Atari game. I am not kidding. This [...]
