Nice! Reminds me of people I know who helped me out with my gaming.

You are lucky to have a friend like that. People nowadays are dicks.  [-(

Yeah, ebay will do that...

Yeah he's a real cool guy.  He said that the TG was all that he played when he was in the AF.  He said that these games/systems have been with him all over the world!  Pretty cool.  He said that the Turbotap was abused like no other! 

He also said that he's got the CDROM for it somewhere in his house, if he finds it or runs onto it he's gonna hand that over too.

I thanked him many times over.  And yes, I plan to make it up to him somehow.  (he doesnt drink much or eat beef so no steak)...

That is so awesome, congratulations!

I can't believe your friend didn't think about selling this stuff though. You'd think with the quantity of stuff you have, you could at least make some money off of it. If I ever come across something like that which I know nothing about, I'd look it up online to see if it's worth anything first.

True, I asked him about that, why he just doesnt sell it...  but he said that his family didnt believe in taking money for used stuff (unless it's like a car or something)...  he said that they don't have garage sales or anything, if they don't want something anymore, they give it away to friends, family, or charity.

Nice! I had similar luck recently. Good stuff you got there. Try out bomberman with a bunch of friends. That game is incredibly fun multiplayer.

Yeah I really want to, but the multitap has issues, it is currently apart and I am trying to diagnose the issue..  if I can't fix it I'll just get another one.. 

He also said he had another multiplayer game called Motor Roader or something like that, said it was a blast, but he can't find that at the moment..

Dude, that is a friend that you should never be without!!  I had a buddy of mine that had a genesis and about 15 games sitting in a box with a bunch of wires and crap, I asked what he was going to do with it, and he said "just throw it out"  he said none of it worked.  lol after taking it home and cleaning it up a bit I enjoyed playing my new Genesis with Battletoads and DoubleDragon...one of my all time favs!!

Oh man toads and double dragon is awesome...  although I've only played it on the NES.  Sounds like you got a total score yourself!   :mrgreen:
