Wanna see what’s in my ELDER SCROLLS tin?

Woohoo!  I have put out 3 blog posts this week!  That is a pretty cool achievement!  I thought that i would just do this post up real quick because i could have included this info in a previous post.  Since i do have the limited edition elder scrolls tin, i thought that i would give you guys a quick peek at it.  Like i stated in my previous post, i got this baby priced matched so only paid $65 which is a bargain!

So on the back of the tin is a copy of signatures from some of the key figures responsible for this game.  I only remembered this point now and i don’t have any more space on my phone for more pics so you can use your imagination 🙂

Inside is pretty standard contents.  Just the game and a map……..which is actually kind of useless

But there you go!  The contents of this tin.  It isn’t anything special or flash but that’s ok.  The game makes up for it.  Happy Gaming 🙂

Super Nintendo was the console of my generation

Let’s take a trip down retro lane…..we are headed to the 90’s baby!

Christmas 1995 was the best christmas that i had as a child.  I remember looking under that tree and seeing a fairly big box and of course, that is the box that i want to open first.  I kind of had an inkling that it was going to be something that i had been asking for all year.  I mean, i couldn’t have mentioned the Super Nintendo any more than i did to my dad who passed this on to Santa.  It seems that Santa finally gave me what i wanted for christmas and i felt the joy overwhelm me as i unwrapped the box and find myself looking at my  brand new and very precious Super Nintendo.

Games back then were so simple ie crap but we wouldn’t have it any other way.  My parents had bills so i didn’t get the donkey kong’s or the super mario’s.  I got Unirally, Tetris 2 and Whizz.  Times were changing and so were the people.  They always want more or better and so i was jumping on the Super Nintendo band wagon just as others were getting off and going to the new consoles but i didn’t care.  This ended up being the only gaming console that i had during my childhood but i wouldn’t change that.  I spent as much time as i could playing the games until i got bored of clocking them over and over.  I remember having a friend come over and we sat there playing games for ages and ended up hogging the tv at news time lol.  Sadly i don’t still have my original Super Nintendo but thank god for ebay.  I now have been able to get another console and a few games for it and this collection is bigger than what i used to own.  I want to add more games to it though.

I am glad that i got to have this console be a big part of my childhood and i believe that these things are troopers! Over 20 years old and they are still kicking which is probably more than i can say for this generation of consoles.  They don’t make things like they used to.  I love the hardy snes game cartridges.  If they don’t boot, just blow a puff of air onto the connectors and the game works! Can’t say that about a game disc!

1981 Tomytronic Tron

Now this is a nice piece to add to any retro gaming collection!  I recently bought this Tomytronic Tron from ebay.  I find that listings for this item only come up every now and then and the prices vary.  I was lucky enough to find this tron with the box.  I paid around $200 aus for this boxed beauty to get shipped to me from the UK.

The box actually is in fairly good condition considering it’s age but the most important thing is that IT STILL WORKS!  The previous owner had looked after this well and has even included the original manuals.  I love having a retro gaming item that has been around longer than i have!

Yes the game play is simplistic but that is what makes it old school cool. You can youtube people playing this game.

I think that if you see one of these beauties around for sale, then you should grab it up!……. no i’m not selling mine but i just mean that you should get one for your collection, ya know? 🙂

I got a Scuf controller!

Hi peeps! I have been sorting out a lot of things. My car broke down and basically it was easier to buy a new one rather than fix it so all my precious funko money must now go towards that. Also my laptop wouldn’t take charge so i got that fixed and luckily it was just the charger and then i got the flu…..

Anyway all these distractions have shown me that maybe i should have a spare post or two up my sleeve! I have so many new things that i have been wanting to show everybody and i have been trying to contain my excitement about it all.

A good thing that happened is that I GOT MY SCUF CONTROLLER! My console of choice is the PS4. It took three weeks from ordering it until i received it and it seemed like such a long time to wait. I got just a standard black controller and i am trying to get used to a new way of playing. It isn’t a big drama to play with this controller but after spending more than a decade using one set pattern of buttons, it is going to take a little practice!
