My Haul 1-18-2009: Sega Gear FTW
VGMari | 12:12 PM on 01.22.2009 21 comments




After we parted ways on Sunday with Niero, Colette and Rey we hit up several used video game stores. Upon arriving to the first I find several fucking EPIC things.

When I got to the first, I dashed towards the Dreamcast section (because it's what I usually do) and found this gem:



Chu Chu Rocket for 6 bucks.


Browsing around the store some more I find this:



A BRAND NEW Saturn controller!!! The box is beat up but the controller has never been used!


And finally... the motherload:



A boxed Menacer with T2: The Arcade Game.

Fuck yes.



Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

I've never even heard of a Menacer before. Those are some nice finds. :)
Char Aznable's Destructoid Blog
The Menacer?! What the hell, I never heard of this. It looks really fucking badass, but what's up with the binocular things on top? Is it kind of a Virtual Boy situation?
MrSadistic's Destructoid Blog
Man, I think I still have my Menacer somewhere in storage. I remember playing the hell out of T2: The Arcade and that one weird roach game that was part of the collection of random mini-games which was included with The Menacer.
MrSadistic's Destructoid Blog
Oh and the binoculars were really weird. For some reason you could have both attached so I guess you can have super-ultra-mega aiming, only one attached, or just take off the whole thing and just freestyle it. I think the butt of the gun also came off, so it made The Menacer look like some awesome plastic ray-gun.

Jealousy +1

I've always wanted a Menacer for my collection.
Solgrim's Destructoid Blog
Wow, I didn't know the Saturn had a controller like that. So that's where the Dreamcast controller came from...

I have the black sensor box for the Menacer. That's all though. I never knew what the rest was.
Usedtabe's Destructoid Blog
That looks fucking sweet. That and T2 make this a huge win.
Doomsday Forte's Destructoid Blog
Used game stores have Dreamcast sections? Not in the time period I live in! ;_;

I know a lot of people said the Saturn controller was good, but...good God, they could've made it a CD player too at that size. XD

I obviously have never owned any Sega systems. =P
Primo's Destructoid Blog
I can't believe you got a Menacer. That is awesome.
Tdiddy9182's Destructoid Blog
The Menacer was awesome!!
Funktastic's Destructoid Blog
Nice haul yo! I think you have the "second" generation Menacer there! Mine has a longer barrel, and has a 6-in-1 game that had like Toejam and Earl in it, lol. Although, T2 is totally way more sweet!
Krow-Kupo's Destructoid Blog
It's like you live to make me jealous Mari. Great finds, I hope you have fun with them!
Dale North's Destructoid Blog
NOICE - pictures of some of my favorite things there
ParaParaKing's Destructoid Blog
I really need to play Chu Chu Rocket again. Sega should release it for PSN and XBLA.
CronosBlade's Destructoid Blog
I'm with Paraparaking. Nice finds!

I myself recently picked up a Dreamcast, a Japanese Saturn and a few of the kickass fighters for each. I'll blog when I'm not too lazy.
Roshey's Destructoid Blog
I loved that Menacer. It was a funn little accessory, But I always had a hard time getting it to work properly... Eh probably just me...
Gantz's Destructoid Blog
Segata Sanshiro approves!
Sam Spectre's Destructoid Blog
Great success, Mari!
ZServ's Destructoid Blog
FUCK YOUUUU
Serpentish's Destructoid Blog
Your overuse of the word epic is borderline criminal. I should stab you... with my penis.
Dark Mark's Destructoid Blog
Where did you find this stuff?

I live in the same town, but never make such great acquisitions...
