Return To Geelong’s Amazing Mill Market

May 18, 2016 By Ms. ausretrogamer

We always love a trip to G-Town, and no visit is complete without a stop at the The Amazing Mill Market. We already showed off all the beautiful retro gaming goodies we spotted, but there was so much more – and we couldn’t resist putting together a second story to show you all the other weird and wonderful things we found. As the Mill Markets website says:

‘At Amazing Mill Markets you will find a selection of vintage clothes, vintage furniture, collectibles, antiques, memorabilia, home decor, fine china, art, glass, coins, jewellery, books and records – to name a few things!’

Retro Gaming Hunt: On The Road To Newcomb

April 26, 2016 By ausretrogamer

What does one do on a long weekend? Well, we decided to hit the road to Newcomb for a retro games hunting expedition at the Amazing Mill Market!

The Amazing Mill Market definitely didn’t disappoint, with loads of retro gaming gear found on the ground and upper floor. Ms ausretrogamer’s keen eye found some hidden treasures, which we didn’t hesitate in snapping up.

There were some fairly pricey items, but looking hard in each stall paid dividends – we snagged the SNES Super Disk Interceptor for a very reasonable price, which turned out to be our catch of the day!

For now, sit back and enjoy a sampling of some goodies that may tickle your nostalgic fancy…

Well, well, well, what do we have in this glass cabinet

We wonder if Nintendo approved these copycat ‘Game & Watch’ devices?

Where do we even start here?

Whoa! We wouldn’t mind flippin on this pinball table *wink*

Finally, we can pirate, ahem…. we mean, backup our SNES games

The trick here is to get past the PS2 games overload!

Woot! A solitary Sega Mega Drive game among a sea of 2600 carts!

At that price, we had to walk past the boxed NES

Fishing for some GBA gaming bargains!

The Commodore 64 represent!

Is it really the ultimate entertainment pack?

Forget Nintendo’s Game & Watch, you need Q&Q’s Card Game Clock Tarzan!

Super Mario and Pac-Man in cahoots

Yes, Tetris 2 has been spotted!

This was the most popular QuickShot joystick in Australia – because it was cheap!

A bit light on with the N64 gear…

Turtle power!!

Oo’er, a 3DO controller but no 3DO system to be found!

Forget the CRT TVs and that SNES, look at that Daytona USA arcade topper!

Lucky dip!

Boxed Xbox!

Before IBM’s Deep Blue chess computer, there was Schach-Computer!

I spy with my little eye, something beginning with V!

Oh man, we have a woody!

What to play on first?

A sight for sore eyes!

Easter Retro Gaming Hunt At The Amazing Mill Markets

April 6, 2015 By ausretrogamer

While kids everywhere were busying themselves on their Easter egg hunt, Ms. ausretrogamer and I were busy going on a different kind of Easter egg hunt. On our way to Queenscliff, we decided to pop in at the amazing Mill Markets in Geelong to see what was on offer. Upon entering the market, we knew we had hit the jackpot – there were all kinds of antiques, memorabilia and collectables to discover, from books and vinyl records, to toys and classic video games. We’ll let the photos below show the breadth of cool stuff that was on offer at the market.

What started as a quick visit turned into a three-and-a-half hour hunt – the Mill Markets is the kind of place you need to take your time to look in each stall and search for that little gem that others may have passed in their haste. Our nostalgic senses were in overdrive as we found items of interest in almost every stall!

There were retro games and systems aplenty, with most items being at reasonable prices. We were pleasantly surprised to discover retro gaming gear in a number of stalls on the ground floor and the mezzanine – obviously, our go slow and meticulous hunting plan paid off. The temptation to walk out with a boot full of stuff was hard to resist! I did manage to buy a few items, with the Milton Bradley Berzerk board game being my favourite of the lot.

If you happen to like going to vintage markets, even for a look, then Ms. ausretrogamer and I highly recommend The Mill Markets. There are three Mill Markets in Victoria – in Daylesford, Ballarat and Geelong (Newcomb). Best part is, they are all open 7 days a week from 10am till 6pm. What are you waiting for, go hunting!
