It's at a flea market that has a dedicated "garage sale aisle".

People basically rent a booth for just one weekend, to hold their garage sale in a venure guaranteed to get five hundred times more foot traffic than their house would. The guy selling Magi-Nation had a more permanent booth though, with a small game section, a small toy section, and a huge comic book section. Magi-Nation was still operable, though you might need to cut off a bit of plastic to properly slot it into a Gameboy. Which is actually a pretty good detail for a creepypasta.

It's not a coincidence that I went there yesterday; in fact, it was because of this blog post that I decided to go. I found about five booths that were selling normal video games, and one selling these bootleg plug-and-play controllers, which claim to have 76,000 games on them. I looked it up, and apparently they really do have 76,000 individual menu options, each numbered. Why they would do this when the there are only about one hundred games which results in some of them being repeated thousands of times, who can say. Just because they thought that 76,000 seemed like an impressive number.

Note that there's a sign on it with a price reduction, but that the sign was clearly designed to fit both prices rather than the second price being added later. Pretty sneaky, sis... and yes, the game on-screen is indeed Karateka. The console is all very slightly modified NES games, like Super Mario Bros. with the title screen (and nothing else) changed. The unit is called Power Kracker, if you want to look it up. Maybe there's a creepy game that doesn't fit in with the rest on page fifty of the menu that klls you with a Sonic doll.
