It was kind of ahead of its time really. People back then didn't really think "Playing games on a phone" was a thing anyone would do, ever. Admittedly, it didn't change many people's minds with its strange form factor, the fact you had to remove the battery to change games, and not having a lot of good games for it.

Another great thrift trek! This series has seriously got me into doing biweekly trips to thrift stores and hole in the wall pawn shops. Making some really good finds, tons of awesome ps2 games for under 5$ and a complete gamecube copy Twilight Princess for 25$. Sadly no boxed PC games yet, though one of my friends (who also watches your stuff) scored a boxed (and sealed I believe) copy of Simcity 2000 network edition.

Yea man, i'll see about shipping it, I'd say itll be a bit pricier, since it is an old tv. It's very small about the size of a ruler but really long, old cathode tube.

LGR

Ah okay, never used one by them. As long as it has a nice clear picture and those ports work, I'd be interested! Am looking for something very small to use as a passthrough for capturing old consoles and such. If you'd like, send me an email either through Patreon or my normal contact address listed on YouTube!

It is a Radioshack Portavision, it has video and audio in with tv/monitor settings external power and a coaxel with battery power as well.

LGR

Is it a Sony Trinitron? That's the model/brand I'm looking for!

Protomario

Hey man, I sent you a message before, but, I have found a portable TV with the AV hook ups you wanted, it works. I also have a bunch of other stuff too.

What is an ngage?

LGR

Glad to hear it :)

LGR

Haha, thanks again for that!

I laughed out loud! "and next to the adult diapers..." just cracked me up. Good episode Clint, am enjoying the thrifting episodes :-)

O_O Transarctica in the background ! I'm... I'm honored ! :)

LGR

Well, the Dreamcast game wasn't a Dreamcast game inside the case, and it along with the others you didn't see at the end I re-donated to Goodwill (as stated in the video!)

Michael Hogan

WAIT A SECOND...what happened to the Dreamcast game that was bundled with the PlayStation and PS Games bundle? Which game was it??? Is your house on a foundation or pillars? If pillars, have you had additional load-bearing pillars installed under your shelves and cases?

Yaay a new episode one :D

LGR

Understood entirely, thanks!

Johannes Koch

I actually grabbed some food, and watched this. I am very Lazy, but I think you of all people would understand that! You are awesome man.

Evangeline Domenech

I usually go once a week. The best thing that I've found was a complete in-box Commodore 64 for $50.25. However, I didn't have the money for it nor did I really have the space for it.

LGR

Awesome :)

Zem Hysong

Thanks for another great video! I have a TON of books, games and more thanks to your inspiration. I'll send a pic sometime.

LGR

Well that's unfortunate! Sounds like you at least have several places to choose from though, and if it's anything like around here, you have to go quite often to find anything good.

Evangeline Domenech

I haven't found much of anything in my area lately. I've got three Goodwills, a couple of DAVs, a Boys & Girls Club thrift shop, and a couple of CHKD stores. None of them have had anything good lately. I did find a TurboGrafx 16 at my local flea market last weekend, complete with Turbo Booster, but the guy wanted $150 and I already have a TG16.

LGR

I regret not picking it up, but I really am low on space so I try to be careful what I take in! Heh, might've been worth it to grab it, do a video, then re-donate it to Goodwill :P
