The Thrill Of The Chase: Vintage Market

September 23, 2013 By ausretrogamer

What does one do when all household chores are done and there is time to kill? I know, go hunting! I don’t mean hunting in the wilderness for ‘game’, I mean hunting for inanimate objects like retro gaming gear and vintage toys. Yesterday, while Melbourne turned on the charm, I made plans to go out and hit a few stores. I visited two vintage markets I had not been to in almost 10 months. A lot had changed in that time – lots of varied retro goodies were on offer.

Nice stash of Master System games. Too bad about the price

High Score Battle on Eternia

September 13, 2013 By ausretrogamer

When Ram Man was asked by his friend He-Man to go to the local arcade centre, little did he know that the most powerful man in the universe was going to show him up at Galaga.

Their friendship is now frosty.
