Raffle: "Mechanic's special"
« on: July 14, 2017, 11:58:04 AM »
Ever seen that on craigslist posts about cars for real hunks of junk? I've got one of those beauties for you all right now. I have here a copy of Pac-Land, everyone's favorite (!?) pac-man game for the turbo grafx. The game comes "complete" with case, game, and manual (no cardboard).


So, why is this a mechanic's special? A few reasons!
1) the cart is maybe completely useless. As you can see in the photo, it's got corrosion all over it. I tried to fix it, and I don't think it's fixable. But maybe you're cooler than me and can do it!
2) the case label is missing. you could put one of those sparky labels on it if you were nuts! but what else are you gonna put your pac-land label on, really.
3) the hucard-holding tab thing broke off. whoops
4) the manual is a bit scuffed. but hey, it opens up, unlike some other manuals I've got!!

So yeah, WHO WILL BE FIRST IN LINE to take this AMAZING GEM!?
Continental US only, but not limiting it to high posters cause I think most high level posters aren't gonna want it!

Go nuts, friends!

How do you even attempt to fix that? I ask because I have a Dino Riki NES cart with similar level of corrosion that I have not been able to resurrect.

Eww, I think I can even see the rust/gunk coming up from the bottom of the black part of the chip.

I still have the same opinion of pac-land one year after posting this video on youtube:


goddamit I hate you pac-land. Esteban's turbodoodle is the only thing good that came of it (I completely forgot about that gif esteban :lol:)

That (video) was actually really good, considering you were using your feet. I don't think I could get as far (after a few stages, my toes get sweaty and slip off the d-pad).
