I got a great deal on some commodore stuff tonight. Commodore VIC-20 CIB Commodore 64 Breadbin 2x Commodore 1702 Monitors Commodore Viccessories Pack CIB, Comes with 2 Sega games (Congo Bongo & Buck Rogers, and a cloth Cover for the Vic) 13 other various VIC-20 games I paid $250 CAD for it, which I think is a steal. ![20190326_211823](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex036/uploads/retrogameboards/original/2X/0/0350ffc8162c84829ed93a5c25d2c360364c0728.jpeg) ![20190326_211801](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex036/uploads/retrogameboards/original/2X/4/4e55476f8224e17053bfdbe3603a87fed93289da.jpeg) ![20190326_210439](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex036/uploads/retrogameboards/original/2X/7/7c0ad31831deeaa0556f6ef949ff800487b92ce0.jpeg) ![20190326_185216](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex036/uploads/retrogameboards/original/2X/3/38f687d2a6d0ba527c4aebd0fac1945825042a36.jpeg) ![20190326_185508](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex036/uploads/retrogameboards/original/2X/7/7f274cc1a137d29432e6908ac8e219bd3322f4fa.jpeg) ![20190326_185014](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex036/uploads/retrogameboards/original/2X/3/3ff6bfd5c043bb10d74bf1435d295be257b27ac4.jpeg) ---

For some reason I want one of the C64 monitors. They have such a unique style and conjure tons of nostalgia. ---

In around 1989 my friends uncle gave him his C64 (bread bin) with disk drives and a ton of software, it was like all our christmases had come at once! we spent hours loading and playing games. My favourite was “Terror of the Deep” a steampunk style submarine Loch Ness monster hunting game. ---

There’s nothing like the soft glow of a CRT and a keyboard in front of you to make you lose track of time. Great pickup! ---

Slightly different for this thread, but I picked up a new beer from Analog Brewery in Edmonton: ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex036/uploads/retrogameboards/original/2X/5/5df85830ae5e5bfa070af76e28f7383d6e784520.jpeg) Star Hops 64, Double IPA! ---

Do a barrel roll! On second thought, maybe that’s not a good idea after a double IPA. ---

Jealous. It’s amazing how good the hardware still looks today, definitely still top shelf. ---

Speaking of Mana, it seems like I happened across another launch copy. Battery on the board is date-stamped July 1991, so it was probably manufactured for the launch window of the game. Saves are still there! I need to get Dracula Densetsu 2 at some point. Is there a specific version to look out for? It seems there’s a change to a weapon in the North American release of Castlevania Adventure 2, and there was a Konami GB Classics rerelease I think? ---

For $4.99 at a Goodwill of all places. Far as I can tell, the only thing missing is the manual and ac adapter. The headphones and link cable look completely unused. The unit is in really great shape, except for the bit of soiling you can see there. I already cleaned it up, almost shocked how good the condition is, and works like a champ. It’s a find like this that vindicates all the countless visits to thrift shops and garage sales that I just never seem to find anything at.
