01. GE portable FM/AM/8-Track music system
As you can see from the above photograph, this thing needs an intense cleaning session. Looks like it's been concealed in someone's anal cavity for years. Still, it was only $1.98 at ATS, and now I can go portable with my 8-tracks. That is, if I ever feel like spending a small fortune on eight "C" batteries. (Luckily, this thing also has an AC power cord.) I've tested it out and it works fine - and gets bonus points for its snazzy military theme: the dark green and black color scheme, detachable shoulder strap, mic and earphone jacks, and utilitarian design.
02. Another fucking Furby
This is my third Furby. I know it's wrong, I just can't help it. I CAN'T HELP IT! WORRY!! Ahem. 98 cents at ATS. For more Furby shenanigans, check out Furby Autopsy.
03. Freeway (Atari 2600)
A common game to find for the 2600, Freeway is best described as the car portion of Frogger, except you can't move left or right and you're a chicken. Lame. Five cents at ATS.
On an unrelated note, what kind of luck have you guys had with finding Sega CD consoles at thrift stores and flea markets? Of the consoles I don't own, that would seem to be the easiest one to find, but I've never so much as seen one in the wild. Let me know.
