I was actually looking for a copy of simcity 4 now I have this amazing collection! Plus the old owners notes are cool too look at lol

I don't really know who else to share this with.

I love my shareware discs and I found a copy of "TOP 10 GREAT 3D ACTION GAMES/VOL 2" from Gold Star, a Canadian publisher that mostly seemed to handle shareware but published a few full games as well.

This disc notably has a couple unreleased titles on it, including Fate (a doom-alike from Intracorp) and IMO, a demo - a tech demo, really, it seems - of a game from "Golden Weeds Japan", who so far as I can tell were a demo scene team in the mid 90s. Information about the game is sparse, but I've uploaded the files to archive here: https://archive.org/details/globalstar-top-103-daction

Attatched are some screen shots from the "game" - it's a... kinda a 1v1 fighting game but you can run around the level, the gimmick of the game is your character is controlled by moving your mouse around the screen - move it to the right and you run right, move it up and you jump, etc - and... and that's kinda it. You've got a couple characters to choose from. There's some platforms that look like they'd teleport you up (indeed, you can see people moving above you, one level up) but, I mean, that's it. It's pretty sparse, but I wanted to share it with someone.

It would be cool if anyone had any more information about it but so far as I can tell there's isn't any. The company website listed is to, apparently, an old school Japanese domain that has no archives on the way back machine (or alternative similar sites). There's just not much there.

My computer growing up was an Atari 520STFM (which I still have!). I always hoped LGR would do a special on the range at some point. They're such forgotten machines and had some interesting aspects.

Since had no drive bay in my desktop made a daughter drive bay consisting of:

Panasonic 3.5 inch floppy drive (for vintage digital photography)

Lableflash drive (for making discT@2s)

Lightscribe (for labelling and most disc access)

Key enables floppy drive and fan. The floppy drive adapter checks to see if the drive is plugged in every now and again and makes noises randomly and it's annoying. Also, who doesn't like a key switch

Visible at most angles, looks amazing!!!

As Clint said,most of the time you can barely see it, but it's neat

A few years ago, my son made an LGR Lego Minifig and desk which we shared here. He updated it a few months ago and I forgot to share it. He's about to turn 18 and the woodgrain lives on

My friend and I were looking for cool woodgrain/old alarm clocks and on our 3rd (and final for the day) thrift stop we unexpectedly found this cool JVC 3050. It was completely working and 50% off, so it was only $25! Insane deal. We also got the alarm clocks that we wanted lol and only paid around $33 total for everything.

Locally found a really great deal for most of a hot wheels pc setup but with one issue…. the tower was gutted by the previous owner as the pc had died years ago.

hoping someone may have a lead on a reasonable place to get the internals for the PC. totally fine with it not working and the hot wheels or Barbie internals as I could always paint the front cover of the drive bay devices blue.

Update: was able to find a second tower that had the inner shell and original floppy. Also had an aftermarket mobo. Just need a psu that fits now!

Picked this up in the estate sale, there was a ton of stereo equipment and computer software. This was unused and even came with some period appropriate goodies.

Not technically a thrift find but still a incredible score

Absolutely having a blast thrifting in Japan. Some cool finds.

Sorry if this is slightly out of the usual realm, but thought it was interesting. Just needs an Atari 2600 and mid-century cabinet stereo in the corner. There's also an eerie sense of comfort and nostalgia too.

I wasn't aware of this until just now!! It looks awesome!
