Retro and modern game collector who enjoys visiting flea markets. (Not that there's many games to be found on the ones I visit these days...)

I'm mostly here for cats and games - not politics

Still most often found on Tumblr as Usearki
Flea market find of the day.

An Otamatone. The batteries are dead in it, so I don't know if it works yet, but I'm happy to take a punt at £2. 😸

The first console that was mine alone was a Mega Drive, bought for me by my then BF now Husband.

I still own it and it was the first console my son ever played on.

It now lives in the Tower of Power.

Another day, another game from my collection. Today it's Super Princess Peach for the #NintendoDS.

It's a fun game, but every time I see the cover I get the music stuck in my head. 😅

Another day another game from my collection. This time it's 3D Dot Game Heroes for the #PS3.

I went out of my way to find this a few years back as my son said he wanted to play it, but I don't recall that he ever bothered. Oh well it gets to be in my collection anyway. 😸

It's another day, another game, so here's my copy of Prinny: Can I really be the Hero? for #PSP.

It's a spin off from the Disgaea series, and you start with 1000 lives. I gave it a go but lost SO MANY lives on the first boss... 😹

It's #PS2sDay! Here's my copy of We Love Katamari. What's not to love? It's Katamari! ♥️

This was another flea market find I snapped up for £2 back in the day. 😸

It's #MegaDriveMonday and this is my copy of Probotector.

I bought it many years ago in a dingy shop in the corner of a market, and although I can't remember exactly how much it was, I would definitely have paid less than a tenner for it. Bargain!

My Saturn came from a junk stall on a flea market before retro gaming got big.

I paid 2 quid for just the console. Found controllers on a different flea market for about a fiver, then eventually got an AV cable for it.

So I have a mark 1 console with mark 2 controllers. 😅

It's a great console!

Post a video game gif from the year you were born

(This is a GIF but I had to upload it so it might not work...)

I couldn't say the years but it was long before retro gaming took off.

Pokemon GBC with Pokemon Red £4
Pink PS2 about £12
Dreamcast with cables and controllers £8
Saturn - just the console £2 (got controllers and cables later)
Silver GBM £3 no charger - found one for £1 later

Flea markets FTW 😸

Final Fantasy III for DS. I got most of the way through, then put it down for a while. Then a few months later I decided to finish it. My party was at full strength and I was on my way to the final battle...

I got wiped out by a Green Dragon, put it down in disgust and never picked it up again. 😅

What was your starter in each Pokémon generation?

I guess I really like fire starters ^_^'

(Also including the blank if anyone else wants to do it)

They are all great but the GBA-SP is probably the best as it will play games from GB and GBC as well as having a lit screen.

I do love the micro though. Fantastic little thing.

It's #MegaDriveMonday! This is my copy of Sonic & Knuckles, which I bought new on the day it came out. It's an awesome game, and being able to add Sonic 3 into the top was something very different. 😸

I never played it in the arcade, but I picked it up a few years ago for something like ten quid. A lot cheaper than it was to buy new, that's for sure!

Hades! I originally played it on Switch, but now I'm working my way through the achievements on Steam Deck. When I'm not playing Hades 2 of course... 😅

My dad brought home a pong style console when I was a wee kiddie, so that was first.

The first that was actually mine alone was an original Mega Drive, which I still own, and was the first console my son ever played on.

It now lives in the Tower of Power.

Pokemon! 😸

Bubsy 3D is SO BAD. So very very BAD.

I bought a copy because it wasn't expensive and my son also wanted to see just how bad it was. We were not disappointed. 😸.

(He said Sonic 06 was decent although terribly buggy.)
