A few retro things came in from eBay over the past couple of weeks!
- Battle Mania 2, Genesis (repro cart and box)
- Blaster Master 2, Genesis (cart and box)
- F-16 Fighting Falcon, Master System (complete)
... and I got this, new in the box for $5! I hate this controller with a passion, but I intend to review it, so I'll get something out of it. I've seen loose ones go for twice that, so to find a new one with the box for cheap was nice.

Nice VINTAGE haul!
The repro could be retro...
Majority rule.
And i disagree. The game is vintage.
Do you consider Citizen Kane retro when it is released on dvd?
Though the delivery system is new, the article being delivered is indeed vintage.
I have spoken.
C. Piracy
Semi real question: is buying after market parts for things the original manufacturer no longer supports piracy to you?
B. Shut up.
No, but repro cartridges aren't parts. They contain code and/or assets that are clearly covered by IP.Quote:

I'm not planning on buying anything for the rest of the month, so you two feel free to talk "Piracy" in here.
Not being sarcastic, aside from this fucking tire I'm about to buy I'm not buying anything
