this probably only could happened to you in japan

rolf..today I walk down the street for work, and what i've found almost on the middle of my way?



a boxed super famicom!!..hahah








i took it :lol:

 

Nice. Does it work?

What about someone playing the Super Mario Bros. theme on some type of wind instrument in the park? Only Japan? Even if not, it was horribly cliche'.

 

i don't know yet..first i had to smuggle it unnoticeable into the firm (under my jacket), to not appear like the last otaku on earth.
have to try it later. but if it doesn't, i will make it to do^^

 

My Saturn that I use now was found in the same way but in a pool of water in the pouring rain. Still going stong to this day almost 10 years later :nod: !

I have seen consoles on the street back home.

I was in a Chinese restaurant in Shinagawa yesterday tucking into some "supaa supaishi udon" and they were playing the Bleach soundtrack completely nonchalantly!

 

Closest thing that's happened to me: A small pile of Spectrum +3 disks in the street.

In a way, I wish I had kept them

 

This is how I ended up with my first Sega console. A lovely boxed unit with several games left for the rubbish, just 3 doors up from where I lived. There is something very satisfying about finding a working, complete console just lying in the street. Still works, still in use.

 

Picspicspics!

Being seriously, I wish I had your luck. XD

 

Holy shit, very nice. I found a PS2 box outside once....but it was empty.

 

here the pic. all's working fine (incl. s-video cable^^):

 

Incredible, the only thing I have ever found on my way to school was scratched to death 1eur coin ^^

 

I've never found any videogame related items in the streets myself but I know people that have found complete and mint consoles in the streets of residential high class areas.

I suppose they get tired of 'em and buy the newest console.

 

that fami looks nice and clean ! Great find indeed !

The only gaming-related thing I've ever found in the streets was an empty PS3 box some months ago, but one of my friends found a functional (and full of dirt) Master System II, with one controller and the classic Alex Kidd in Miracle World.

 

nice! what luck...

 

Wow, it's in some pretty good condition! You've got a lot of luck, man!

 

maybe not in the street but when i was a kid we used to look thru dumpsters in search of cool stuff.. found shitloads of games in those

 

Last year in Greece I found a Mega Drive and a Nintendo 64 next to a stuffed garbage bin. They both work and look fine.

 

once got me a PC and a NES at the dump.
The NES still works perfectly

 

My best friend found a copy of Super Smash Bros for N64 on the street...that's the closest
