Some of my video game junk

I own a lot of video game related junk. This is partly because I can't stand the idea of people throwing out video game related stuff to the point where I own a few broken GunCon pedals that a friend of mine was throwing out a while back. They now live in storage, never to be looked at again. Tragic.

In all honesty I believe that one day we will live underground and trade jugs of water and video game memorabilia for ammunition to fight of the legions of robots from hell. It’s what I was raised to believe. It’s in the bible. Anyway, I figured I’d share some of my less junky pieces of junk.

First up I figured I start with one of my favourite items - Sonic’s 10th birthday pack. As a kid I was a huge SEGA fan boy, and in a way I still am. I only wish there were more SEGA branded stuff that was actually good.

I got it off the now dead Lik-Sang a while back and as far as I recall it was pretty cheap. I don’t remember exactly but it was less than AU$50. The pack included a copy of Sonic Adventure for Dreamcast, a 10th Anniversary copy of Sonic Adventure 2 (which I’m certain is the same game as the regular version), a soundtrack CD that contains various Sonic tunes from all of his games, a gold coin with Sonic embossed on it and a little history booklet. It also came with a Sonic action figure thing that was about 30cm tall, but I’m pretty sure it’s in a box somewhere that I can’t find. It’s probably next to the GunCon pedals and the Nintendo 64 RF adapters. That’s not a joke.

Anyway, on to the pictures.

Here is the Sonic anniversary pack next to a copy of Sonic Adventure that came in the pack.

This is Sonic’s birthday. Write it down and try and remember it this time. You guys are such dicks. Think of all he’s done for you!

This is what comes inside the pack – Sonic Adventure 2 and the other digi-pack thing.

Here’s a close up of the coin. Front and back. Not sure which one is the front.

Here is the first page of the booklet. If you look to the left you can make out the embossed logo that is on the cover. The cover is white and doesn’t show up in photos very well so this gives you a better idea of what the booklet is actually like.

This page has a few Sonic facts.

Yes kids, there was a time when Sonic was popular.

This is the last page. If only he could evolve to good games.

Well that's it for now. I have some more stuff I'll post when I get around to it, which shouldn't be too far away.
