Yard Sale Season



Soon it will be warm enough in Vermont for yard sales. That means finding really random video games. It's not usual to find cartridge games or Play Station one games (though not impossible) as far as older games go. What you can find are Plug and Play consoles or random hand held consoles with one game programmed on it like "Frogger" (1981). Lots of these systems have a lame poker or solitaire or some extremely poorly made sport. These are worthless to me as they don't have any significant or recognizable game on them. Oh well, I'm quite excited for the season.
On a somewhat related note: one of my friends was rifling through some old stuff and they found a Plug and Play console with "Frogger". I'm amped to try it out. On a not so related note that same friend is looking for a long lost Super Nintendo in some pile of junk (it doesn't belong there) with some wires that have been chewed through (presumably by a mouse). An easy fix for a length of wires, needle nose pliers, and electrical tape.
