So back in August I won a crappy looking auction for $45 on supposedly broken video game stuff. They had a NES, and a ega Master System with the boxed 3D glasses, light gun, and 2 controllers. I figured the Nintendo just had a bad 72pin and the SMS I've never had so I thought I'd fool around with it.

Haven't gotten to the box till last week. The NES was beat up and had a bad connector but I got it to almost work, I'll try the boiling water trick.

But anyway, then I got to the SMS stuff. I used my Genesis power brick and it turned on! That doesn't mean it works though right? So I bought a cheap 3D light gun game (Missile Attack?) to test everything. Game shows up and...the controllers, glasses, and console all work like a charm! (The light gun is broken but they're cheap enough).

So long story short, for $45, I got a decent NES that I can restore and a beautiful, lightly used Master System with two controllers, a boxed, complete barely used 3D glasses, and original paperwork! I am really excited because I've always wanted a SMS cheap but have literally never seen one in person. I'll try to get maybe $25 on the NES, so $20 SMS set. eBay is still awesome sometimes.

it's possible the light gun works also (pending the television it was played on - newer tvs don't support light gun technology)

I wish :/ But I have a nice old CRT with a rounded screen. I've seen NES lightguns that don't work too. For some reason they were finnicky. It's only 5 screws to open so I'll probably fool with it when I have the time.

That's a great deal, especially with the SMS 3D glasses.

good deal! nice one
