Nintendo 64 Stuff

I bought my two 12-game storage drawers for the SNES/N64 back in the late '90s, but for some reason, I only had one box.  I don't know what happened to the other one.  Although you can find the 24-game unit (with box) fairly easily on eBay, the 12-game unit is very hard to find with the original box.  However, I managed to find one, and I now have two boxes to go with my storage drawers.

I also finally picked up an official cleaning kit for the Nintendo 64.  I had a third-party cleaning kit since the late '90s, but I felt it was time to replace it with an official one.  I remember some kid writing into Nintendo Power back in the '90s and claiming that a third-party cleaning kit had broken one of his systems.  I certainly don't want to risk that!

I managed to pick up a sealed one, which was really cool.

Some really interesting new purchases will be featured in the next update.  Also, there will be new collection pictures posted some time during the early/middle part of this year.

More sealed games

I've been wanting to get Spider-Man for the Nintendo 64 for probably 10 years now, but I've only now gotten around to doing that.  The game just wasn't on my priority list, but since I've acquired most of the must-have games, I felt it was time to pick it up.  I found a sealed copy, which is really nice.  Most used copies are beat to hell.

I also picked up a sealed copy of Operation C for the Game Boy.  I own all the main Contra games (1 through 4), but I've been neglecting the handheld titles.  This one is loosely based off of Super C, but it's not really a port.  I'll probably get around to obtaining Contra: The Alien Wars for the Game Boy as well (not the Game Boy Advance version).

I also picked up a really nice copy of the NES Cleaning Kit.  The box was opened before I got it, but the contents appear to be completely unused.  I decided to go with the original version of the cleaning kit (instead of the second version with Mario on the cover) to match my SNES and Game Boy Cleaning Kits.

Lastly, although this is only somewhat video game related, I picked up the Blu Ray copy of the Angry Video Game Nerd movie.  I'm looking forward to watching this.  I've watched the AVGN's videos since around 2006.

There are some sort of cards inside the case (they don't seem to be stickers).  Two of them are really strange, but I can't argue with James flipping me off.
