I wonder how much you could save by taking apart and cleaning.. . .

[RR1980]

OMG look at all those PCE controllers......and a SHUTTLE!! :S

[Gogan]

So sad

[Necromancer]

What a sad, sad sight.  Even with insurance, I hope he tries to salvage some of those goodies or at least sends me that copy of Hi-Leg Fantasy.

[BlueBMW]

Man... that's really sad   Im sure a lot of it can be cleaned though.  Its sad seeing some of the rare boxes and stuff get permanently destroyed though...

[Tatsujin]

did ya see the stack of x68ks? those must be like 2~3% of all exported still working (but now not anymore) devices.

Virtually all of the hardware could be fixed with some (a lot) of effort. Mud doesn't hurt chips unless they are running underwater or something.

Obviously anything paper is garbage however.

I'm sure the HuCards would work perfectly though, and have their screen print lables still in tact because, you know, Obey!

My condolences on your loss Sounds like that was one scary situation.

I just wanted to chime in with SignOfZeta and say that probably most of those systems (and games) should be usable with some cleaning. Just dismantle any of the systems and run them through a dish washer with a mild dish soap. Let them dry for 2 days to make certain they're fully dry, then reassemble. It would be a LOT of work, but you should be ready to rock after that 

Hucards should clean off easily too...maybe put them all in a load of the dish washer as well... Never tried that, but I can't see how it could hurt them.

Fortunately, as long as electronics aren't running at the time, they can get wet or muddy and it won't ruin them.

Good luck with the clean up, and glad you made it out safely!

Really?  It makes me a sad human.

[turbogrfxfan]

thats just insane.  God imagine the systems and games that were just junked.  wow

[Joe Redifer]

Before the flood he should have sold me everything for $299.  The result would have been the same... he would have lost everything.  But he would have $299 and I'd have some cool stuffs.  The world would be an overall happier place.
