1 Nintendo N64 game system, 2 N64 joypads, 1 Sega Saturn joypad, 1 Super Nintendo joypad, 1 PC USB joypad, 1 Sega Saturn game
Suffering from extreme thrift withdrawal (after only two days,) I made a Red White & Blue run at lunch today, and it paid off. The videogame system section (curiously located on top of a clothing rack next to mounds of bagged stuffed animals) has been bone dry lately, but RW&B surprised me today by having THREE whole systems in stock: a Sega Saturn, an original-design Playstation, and this one - Nintendo's N64. They were all bagged up with a bunch of a miscellaneous controllers, games and such, and they were all 25 dollars. Since I recently found a Saturn, and I already own a PS1, I went with the N64.
As far as console systems go, it's pretty obvious that the staff of RW&B just throw whatever looks like it belongs together in a bag and hope for the best - though I'm not sure how this accounts for the CD game packaged with what is clearly a cartridge-based system. I'm not complaining, though. I would've paid the 25 dollars for the N64, its power and AV cables, and the two N64 joypads alone, but the fine folks at Red White & Blue decided to throw in three random BONUS joypads as well!
The game, by the way, is Fighting Vipers for the Sega Saturn - luckily one of the better games amidst the Saturn's vast array of shitty ones.
