How much did the Zelda CDI costa ya?

20 Euro's, which is far, far, cheaper than any other option I had (they go for about 300 around here, I guess the lady who sold it to me did not know much about the game). So I'm extremely thrilled I've found this copy (especially because it means that I have a complete collection of Zelda games).

Wow, that's an amazing price despite how bad the games may be. I tend to take AVGN's review with a grain of salt.

Bought a couple things yesterday purchased a 5x pack of sram chips MB8416A-15L-SK. Using these to replace a faulty sram chip in a Famicom hvc-001. And also managed to purchase the PSIO for the PSX before it sold out, I've been waiting along time for this. Sadly I've read that it could still take up to 2 months to actually receive my order. oh well, anyways heres a little demonstration video of the PSIO if your unaware what it is. not my video btw.

Oh shit, did they finish developing it recently? Been waiting ages for it to launch, had no idea they finished it. Too bad, too, since it's sold out ._.

Oh the games are bad (I've played them a long time ago, because the cd-i has no copy protection). But it's not the first time I've been that lucky, I once bought a cib copy of the cartridge version of ninja remix for the commodore 64, which is ridiculously rare as well (again, about 300 euro's in these parts, 125 for just the cartridge) for five euro's. (plus Conker's Bad Fur Day for 50 euro's, which goes for 100+ too, as well as some others like Chrono Trigger)

I believe this was the second or third round. They sale about 200 units each round. They sale fairly quick.

I already own the Xbox remaster of Conker's Bad Fur Day which I consider to be the superior version (gameplay, visuals and camera are all great) to N64's original edition so if I'd see CBFD for 30-50€ too then I'd just buy for the purpose of reselling. Not interested personally as a gamer.

A new prized possession. A rather battered copy of the 1921 Engineer's year book. I guess will have to add book binder to the list of trades I know enough about to be a liability in a bit later
The book itself is a collection of old engineering advertising, engineering tables (it guess it is what passed for the machinerys handbook -- https://new.industrialpress.com/machinery-s-handbook-29th-edition-toolbox.html before that came about, such a book is what I frequent places where I can find this sort of thing looking to find but so far have only missed out on one in a charity shop), year in review, translation guide for engineering terms (English to French, Spanish, Russian and Italian, no German though it seems) and reference guide to various things.

Afraid I was too lazy to name things properly
Cost for this... £2 at a car boot. Not for the first time at that particular car boot location I walked away from a stall like I just stole something.

Auger bits for my braces. Been picking these up as I really like them (speed, accuracy, finish -- in some cases better than the modern stuff and as I am looking at the older ones rather than the fancy coated but not so great underlying alloy of the ones of today it works a bit like old files and chisels), did not get all of these at the same time but I did not pay more than £4 for all you see there, £5 if you include the pot they are in. Bashed my hands up a bit filing them sharp on Sunday morning but that is probably why I should do that when my hands are not numb from cold (and it needs to be impressively cold to pull that off).

Video showcasing such things


A random old wooden hand plane, will probably give this to my friend that collects old woodworking tools again as I do not need this style of plane, however it got the seller to pay less attention to some of those bits above. I ran the blade over a spongy sanding block and it planes quite nicely though.

Oh and as this is still a gaming forum I probably should do a game

Princely sum of £1 from the local "I sure hope this is not hot" seller of second hand tools, electronics and games.
I got it mainly because I saw

and it looked exactly like my jam. Some people seem to have a thing for the 8 bit era, some older still, some 16 bit/amiga, some DOS, some doom... turns out I am all about the slightly clunky PS2 era games.

I bought a dreamcast and two controllers for $20 while checking out the goodwill auction website. I'm looking into the IDE modification someone linked me earlier(its very...bulky apparently).
