A strange store with coolio things

Post by demonofaj »

I was walking around Jackson Heights (little India in NYC) when i came across this weird game shop. Believe it or not, it had every game system known to man, even the awesomely rare Virtual Boy. The rarest system, as in a SEGA NEPTUNE, YES A NEPTUNE, cost only...................................................................................................................35$. YES 35$. Now heres the thing, i didnt have a bunch o money, cuz i accidentially washed it into the suds of doom. The next day it was gone. But hey, it had OTHER great systems. A deal there was, 5 systems for 40$. I bought.... a PS1, a N64, a Genesis 1, a CDX, and a SNES. As a gift, they gave me 1 free game with the systems. This happened a year ago. Now the store is closed due to FCC and FBI violations. That raises many questions, but who cares. I got 5 systems for 40$

the Snes was actually a SNOAC, with an AMERICAN CARTRIDGE PORT. THIS STORE IS LIKE A DOORWAY TO PORTIBALIZING HEAVEN

it was kinda like those mom $ pop stores. something like *your name here* games. I think it was Jeff's Games or something like that. 50% of the stores were real consoles whereas the other half were pirated treasures like the SNESOAC

Says the Neptune was never released. If it was just a prototype at the store, then it sure as hell would cost more than 35 dollars.

well I wouldnt have the right to call it a NEPTUNE, but its almost the same thing, except it was pirated. BUt it still played genesis and cdx games



games: 50$
contorllers: 40$
getting a bootleged equally good as the real thing system for 35$, Priceless

Well, the only places that have real games, are brand name stores, and higher private businesses. Everything else is pirated
