Good haul.  I got a "Cool Pad" for the Saturn today for 500 yenjamins.  It's slim pickings anymore where
I'm at.  All the recycle stores are bloated with rubbish games and stuff I already have.  ](*,)

I bet when he bought them they were NEW / SEALED but he didn't buy them to stash them on some shelf!

Am I right Keranu?

@ joe: no i d0n't think so. those are some very trashy game collections from amateur programmers, comparably to the Ultra Box collections on the PCE.

@woody: same here. those shops getting worse and worse. as well the prices do, since they smelled the success of akibas retro market.

I bought them from this dumphole you might've heard of called "McDonald's". They were complete, but in pretty bad condition with the slices of cheese sliding off the burger. I left them negative feedback, but at least the price and shipping was decent.

Since there was a $50 gift card for Sears I wanted to use, my father and I went to the Sears Grand store near my home late this morning. I've bought a few accessories for my Nintendo Wii, which were a Messenger Case (I was looking for an item, such as a DVD case or hold, that would store the games and equipement I have for it, but as being the only one found to be suitable, it was deemed it could do well in the task; it wasn't able to fit all of the games I have right now properly, but the other items were able to fit in it quite well)  and a Scan Disk 2.0 SD Card for the Wii (I'm not concerned about the memory shortage for the console, as I hardly get the chance/have a way to download any applications from the Wii Shop Channel, but I felt one was necessary just in case I ever need to take my system for repairs and will be able to copy the data without loss of it if a replacement were to be done instead), along with an 8-pack Energizer AAA batteries for my graphing calculator(s); my father had bought some kind of DVD recorder, probably for a friend as well. An RC Wiley gift card worth ten dollars is also needed to be used (expiring July 02, also), so I can suspect to get at least one more purchase next week.

Nice Sparks.  :mrgreen: I'm the same way though. I don't add games to my pcedaisakusen list until I get the package in the mail. hehe. However, I did buy a copy of Monster Lair from master nectarsis yesterday. I'm just a Bikkuriman World HuCARD away from having the entire Wonderboy series.  :dance:

I somehow forgot possibly the best title of the Wonderboy series: Dragon's Curse.  :oops: #-o So, I'm a Bukkuriman World and a Dragon's Curse HuCARD away from the complete Wonderboy set.

heh I add a title to my daisakusen list immediately after paying.  In the rare instances when I didn't receive the game, or in which the game didn't work- I immediately purchased another so as to not forfeit the title from my daisakusen list  :D

I have on the way two avenue six pads (finally!), Street Fighter II and Fatal Fury II...

A few days ago I bought Nat's loose AMG game for the PC-FX.
Yesterday I bought Medieval II: Total War Gold Edition which comes with the expansion built in.
I love Rome to death and Medieval II doesn't dissapoint.  It's everything great about Rome, only more refined.  I started my first game playing the Frenchies and so far I have been giving the rebels hell.  I allied with Spain only so I wouldn't have to guard my southern boarder.  This let me turn those castles into towns to make more income.

Good times!

Today I bought 3 3DO games Shockwave, the expansion for Shockwave and Shockwave II.  My understanding is that they are rail shooters, pls god let them be rail shooters.  The come with the origional large cardboard boxes too.  Only $4.99 each on ebay :shock:

Post by: td741 on June 29, 2008, 04:37:54 PM
The Shockwaves aren't *exactly* rail shooters...

You have full (horizontal 360 degree) control over your fighter but you have a very limited area to move in.  If you exit the allotted area, you sustain damage.  I think they kept the same thing for Shockwave 2, but I'm not 100% sure.

I've heard they use pre-rendered video for the ingame backgrounds, so it is probably very rail shooter like then, just not exactly one?

Post by: Joe Redifer on June 30, 2008, 03:39:47 PM
Shockwave uses R-E-A-L polygon graphics and you can turn and go whichever direction you want.  I bought the first game and didn't care for it much.  If you want a rails game get Microcosm or some other piece of junk like that.

Today, I'd went to RC Willey to use the $10 gift card that was held onto for a while and purchased Excite Truck for the Wii. It was one of the games I wanted for the system since I've first heard about it, and there wasn't much of any other that I saw was interesting (I did consider Endless Ocean: Dive, Discover, Dream, but since it came out this year, I'd figure it would be more acceptable as a probable Christmas gift). I was hoping to find some kind of storage container to keep all of the Wii games I have, and within their cases, such as DVD holder, but nothing of the sort was really found (I can't find anything in my house that would be acceptable for this need, and I don't really want to keep my games in a cardboard box).

I have been looking at it on dreamstars for gawd knows how long and today I offered Toshi 50 dollars to end the listing and to sell to me for 50 dollars flat with EMS shipping.  I feel like a bit of a fool spending so much on a single game, but I think this really is a rare item which wasn't even listed as rare...how *cough* rare is that on ebay!? :shock:

Oh hell yeah I do.  I have gone through something similar to the Kübler-Ross model while knowing this game existed and was for sale:

Denial:  :shock: There is a special edition of a Yuna game???

Anger:  :x Shit the f*ck!  It's 60 dollars!?!?

Barganing:  :^o Ok, I will buy it next month when I have some money.  Ok, next month.  If I do X, I can buy it, etc.

Depression:  :cry: I'm never gonna own it.  *sigh* I sure hope whoever buys it is another huge Yuna fan and not just someone who will try to resell it for more.

Acceptance:  :|It's been there for what?  A crapping year?  It must be fate holding on to it for me, just a little longer.  Better not tempt fate and send an email offer to Toshi.

Although I got a bonus 6th stage, Success!

Then (Mario Bros) was sold again in a gray box and is much more common and cheaper.

Far from what i know about it.

Though i supose if i got it from jgs it would have been cheaper,but i didn't think it would end that high.

Another thing it's not uncommon for "famicom version of games" can go for more then it's nes counter part.

Just look up what SMB3 go's for and you know what i mean.

I did it, I really went out and did it...I bought a 50 dollar PC-E game!

I have been looking at it on dreamstars for gawd knows how long and today I offered Toshi 50 dollars to end the listing and to sell to me for 50 dollars flat with EMS shipping.  I feel like a bit of a fool spending so much on a single game, but I think this really is a rare item which wasn't even listed as rare...how *cough* rare is that on ebay!? :shock:

The world of Huvideo, here I come!



Sunofabitch...I used to own that. I bought it from TZD for $50 or so when it first came out. I sold it for $40 or something like that a year or two later. I've been sort of looking for it lately but haven't seen it. I had no idea it was worth money. Of course, if it sat at a $60 BIN for a year, maybe it isn't really worth that much, eh?

Its not really a "special edition" by the normal definition. Its a reprint from when Yuna 2 came out. The only difference is the extra CD, which is a 3 minute HuVideo OVA. I think it cost 1000 yen less than the original at release. Not sure. They didn't even bother to redesign the sleeve for a double case. As you can see, it doesn't quite fit. There is a really nice special edition Yuna 1 remake on Saturn that is super fancy.

For a Yuna fan this reprint is a must, and hey, why not? Yuna stuff is cheap really, $60 is probably the most expensive thing out there. The "gameplay" (such as it is) is slightly better in the first Yuna game even if the graphics in Yuna 2 are way way better.

The best Yuna game, IMO, is Yuna 3 for Saturn because its...actually a game. An isometric strategy game in fact.

Not today, but on monday i got my US-TG16 :) Before i only had japanese systems, now i can also play US-titles :)
Actually my only US-hucard is the system card 3.0 (good for testing, bad gor gaming :wink: ), but Neutopia is on its way and will arrive next week.
I bought the TG16 as a naked system, w/o ac-adapter and pad, but with RGB-mod. The ac-adapter is no problem, i use the adapter from my megadrive. So the only thing i actually need is a pad. Fortunally a dealer here in germany sells pads new and boxed for 15 Euro. So soon i can enjoy all the US-games (and hope, that someone sells a US magical chase for under $20 :lol: :wink: )

the bargain bin at best buy tapped me on the shoulder as i was checking out with the new gotham knight anime collection on dvd.
i turned around to see what the bin wanted, and it said, "you should take home this megaman zx advent (ds) for a mere $14.99.  naturally i replied, "why, i do say that i'll have to take you up on your offer, good sir bargain bin."

later in the day i hit up play-asia.com's summer sale and grabbed kururin squash! (gcn) for around 15 bones.

**note that the "!" in that title isn't me adding exciting emphasis.  it's actually part of the title proper.  however, it does warrant exciting emphasis :wink:

By using a degaussing coil.  It was common practice in the television repair business, as few sets had 'em built in.

Did I miss something or did the dead page not go into the easiest fix for this problem.  I did this to a few of my more expensive CPS2 games back in the day.  You buy a small battery holder for the same type of battery as the board holds then attach 2 wires to it, the + wire with a stiff micro switch on it.  You then epoxy this little mounting and the switch to your board.  When you want to change the battery, you turn the switch to the on position and remove the old battery.  Once the new battery is securely in place, you turn the switch to off.  Adding this modification really increased the resale price of my Pocket Fighter and 19XX boards (I even made a tidy profit on the Pocket Fighter one).  From my understanding you can damage the chips this way, but only if you mess around and leave both batteries powering it for a few minutes.

If you cannot find a battery holder, some people just soddered wires to a battery and then epoxy mounted it by it's side edge.  It's a little more sketchy though in my opinion.
Title: Re: teh "what did you buy today"-thread
Post by: Tatsujin on July 18, 2008, 07:46:16 PM
for most of the games you als can do a romfix (patch), if....you have the equipement for (e.g. empty eproms, eprom-burner station, pc, soft...).
i fixed like that my 3 wonders (midnight wonders...) back in the days. altough i needed a security board from a street fighter II' as replacement for the battery board. today, they have a lot of ways how to fix suicide boards.
Title: Re: teh "what did you buy today"-thread
Post by: Michael Helgeson on July 18, 2008, 08:54:21 PM
Yea Missa people are kinda tired of justy the battery swap anymore as its only  a temp fix. These days its best to get the stuff totally fixed and un-reliant of batteries. As for CPS2,only a few games can not be fixed yet,but most others can be "Phoenixed" via Razoola's fix or simply "Shadowed" via a similar method Macross126 uses on the boards he sells on ebay.

I heard that you had to sell your entire game collection from reading the shoutbox a little while back. Was it because your children were a great threat to it, or was your wife unable to have room or stand for it anymore? Either way, I'm sorry that you had to dispatch the lot of it (I'll definitely try to take great care of the three games Black Tiger was able to buy from you now) :(.

I bought three pairs of shorts jeans from going to Mervyn's today. They're all capri-style, very much, and I had some difficulty purchasing the right size since I didn't know of the one I was (I turned out to fit well in a size 6, as opposed to 8-10 like I had originally though). I needed them for my vacation to New Jersey, which I will be leaving for next Tuesday.

All for $25

The gametrader store is doing a buy 1 get one free up to $50 value. The lady told me they would be lucky to stay in business past this Christmas  :cry: . Now where the hell am I going to get used games other than E-bay, sheesh. I guess I will clean up what they have left that I want. This place overprices some games but the get 1 free deal nulls that problem completely. Example: Contra NES $30, Super Punchout SNES $35. So $35 for both, not a bad deal really.

BTW, I remember Spiderman for the Genesis being a lot more fun when I played it in 1990. This game didn't age all that well.

@Missa, you got the ugly Voice Paradise.  There are two versions, that one and also one with just the anime art on the cover and not the actual VA mugshots.

Oh I didn't know there were two box arts for this title.  I only picked it up to work towards a complete collection.  I may have to pick up the other Voice Paradice now though.  Do you know of any other FX titles with variant art?

hi guys.  there are not - as far as i know - two versions of this game.  actually (and i forgot to tell you about this missa), that game features a reversible jacket (which i didn't know about until the night i packed up missa's stuff [and i have had the game forever!]).  so, just slip out the cover and flip it over and you have a much nicer looking package!! a common misconception is dispelled (?).

The easiest way is to park 'em somewhere on the web (such as photobucket, imageshack, etc.) and then use the link that they provide for forums - easy as cut 'n' paste.

I didn't buy 'em today, but they arrived today:

TV Sports Basketball
Pac-Land

I did get a strange surprise from one of the games - the expanded polystyrene spacer was broken in half.  When the two pieces fell out of the box, I quickly rechecked the box exterior for damage, yet found none.  There aren't enough small bits to account for the size of a whole piece, so it must've been broken before being inserted.  There is no further evidence to lead me to believe that the game was resealed, so this must be a tale of quality control gone awry.  Out of dozens of sealed games, this is the first such occurrence for me.  Have any of you come across this phenomena before?

I bought a XRGB2 for about $250 but I used a ebay 10% coupon, so only $225. I guess that's good deal. With it I'm going to consolidate all my gaming to a single monitor, my 19" LCD Samsung SyncMaster 953BW. The best part about this XRGB2 is that the seller modified it to accept euro-scart which are easier & cheaper to find than the japanese counterpart. My Sony MSX2+, Saturn, and PS2 are played through scart cables, except for my Nes its using composite video (of course). The MSX, Saturn, and Nes games look great especially with the fake scanlines. The only problem I had was with a couple PS2 games like Mushihimesama and FFXII. I tend to get alot of green/grey lines which was very irritating, but I managed to fix most of it by tinkering with setting on my monitor & XRGB2. PS2 doesn't look as good looking on a CRT but the picture quality is fair enough.

I can't believe I totally forgot about these, the Capsule Shooting Watch by Yujin. I got these several months ago on ebay, iirc just under $5 each. They're inspired by the original Hudson shooting watch made famous by Takahashi Meijin. It can tells time and measures how fast you can press a button in 10 seconds. My record is 115 in 10 seconds with a single button, no where close to Takahashi. There's 5 watches in all with designs from Adventure Island, Bomberman, and famicom. I have the other two, the original Hudson design and Star Soldier. Now if I can just find the bomberman I'll be satisfied.

you have to push the trigger (button) as mich time you can within 10 seconds. started right after the first hit.


takahashi meijin got famous for his 16 hits/sec. record back in times. here he's reaching only 13/sec. few years back in an interview.

here he tries it with a water melon^^

here is his 16 shot blog: http://www.16shot.jp/blog/ :)

Nice, I used to love playing the goonies game. I had the US version though, which is like part two or something? lolz!

I think sensei is talking about the frist goonies game.

While it did show up here in the arcades on nintendo vs system,it never got a domestic release for the nes.

Even though it did show up on the famicom.

Pretty much the nes just got the goonies 2 instead for the u.s  :twisted:

Btw a video of the frist goonies game.

Cool. Nice to hear that not everyone at N-G.com is a jackass.

Everyone at neo-geo.com is a jackass -- but that's the source of most of the magic.

Shockboxes are pretty nice. Nearly all the MVS I own are inside a shockbox, with art. Not quite what I would call a "poor man's homecart", especially sonsidernig what the boxes cost, with art, shipped. You add about another $10 to the price of a cart by having a shock box!

I place mine in shockboxes to keep them clean and safe, I think it looks better than a stack of MVS carts, and it also makes it easier to locate games, especialy those jap carts!

I have several home carts worth around the $200 mark.  There are plenty more that go up from there, with the most expensive carts being around $1000 (except for a couple really spendy exceptions like Metal Slug 1).

Today, a bit of luck landed me my first NeoGeo AES:

Also included were Samurai Spirits, Fatal Fury Special and King of Fighters '99.

I already had a NeoGeo CD system, but its nice to not have the loading time between matches. Using an actual arcade stick is a nice touch too.

Congrats man i hope you know what your getting into.

Given the price for aes carts in general though i'm a mvs owner,since it's dirt cheap compare to aes.

I know enough to know I have no plans to collect a complete set of AES carts, I'm nowhere near that wealthy. :)

But, I'll probably pick up some of the cheaper carts just to have a bit of variety. This was a system I wanted to have back in the day and when I saw one available for local pickup (no shipping, wahoo!) I couldn't pass it up.

I made a wrong choice of words, what I meant to say is that MVS aren't exactly cheap once you dress them up. I'm unsure what I paid for Samurai Shodown 5 and Samurai Shodown 5 Special MVS, however I did have to import those 2, at a price. Same goes for Sengoku 3.

I know what some Home carts sell for, however I was not willing to pay $$$$$ to get started with AES since I was a bit late into the game of owning Neo Geo carts, of any kind. MVS gets you much further for the same amount of money, for the same games.

If you enjoy paying $200-$1,000 for a cart, have fun! Unlike TG-16 vs PC-Engine, there are pretty much no differences in MVS and AVS, other than cart shape/art, instruction manual, box, and PRICE! Same game, I can play either in Japanese or English. Unibios and a consolized 2-slot work fine for me.

I say the same for anyone thinking to get into Neo Geo. If you want to play a handful of games, goe with AES. If you want to play more, go with MVS. If you really want AES, and you have maybe $10,000 sitting around that you'd like to build an AES collection with, go for it. That $10,000 will get you A LOT further with MVS. You can buy nearly all the MVS carts, shockboxes, and art for them at that price.

Post by: bust3dstr8 on August 23, 2008, 04:27:04 AM
Even if I was a billionaire I would still be gaming on the MVS. I like the experience of the cab.

Shockboxes are more than a place to slip in some art. They keeps out teh evil dust. MVS boards
are pretty fussy about needing clean carts.
Title: Re: teh "what did you buy today"-thread
Post by: MrFulci on August 23, 2008, 05:29:10 AM
Shcokboxes make is much easier to find a title. HOWEVER, they do make the carts take up more space;

What I like about shock boxes;

- protected from most dust
- Protected against falls. It's not good to have the screw pillar inside a cart shatter due to a drop.
- Easier to find jap carts
- Though it consumes more space, I think they look better on a shelf than loose carts or insdie their cardboard boxes.


If people want to spend money on AES, it's all up to them. Unlike PCE and TG-16, there are nearly no differences in the games. Same games, can play eitehr in Japanese or English. I wish the same could be said about TG-16 and PCE! That is the reason I cuold not justify spending 2X-10X per cart. Same game, different machine and cart size. Any small differences, unibios takes care of.

That sucks Sensei...I can see only two silver linings to this though.  1, at least you didn't have to pay shipping from Japan.  Two, I am pretty sure from guessing that you could take an older PC serial mouse and swap the cable if you have some minor sodering skills and some electronics knowledge.  One of those older heavy MS mice would do nicely on the FX even though the evil MS name is attached to it.

Is there any chance you can return the item to where you ordered it from?

Thanks to missa, I finally got some external memory for my Juno G working, and for pretty cheap.  :mrgreen: I tested it out last night and it worked like a charm. No more writing over other patches.  :pray:

Oh, and I installed a new video card for my desktop computer over the weekend. A Geforce 6200 AGP, which is a nice improvement over my previous 5200. The main reason was that the fan was going on the 5200 and was making a dreadful noise. I thought my computer was going to explode. The 6200 doesn't have a fan, so it's super quiet.  :dance: I've given my 5 year old computer a new lease on life. hehe Thank god, because I really don't want to buy a new computer right now. This computer does everything I want and need it to do.

It comes with all this neat stuff and has the following text to explain the Apollo 13 connection on the back:

On the 13th day... In the 13th hour... In the 13th minute... The Apollo 13 mission was on its way to the moon. A million things could have gone wrong.  One did.
The "Apollo 13" adventure takes you to the moon and back, risking the perils of space travel.  The Solarquest adventure takes you through each planetary system on a fantastic tour of the entire solar system.  Solarquest is the game for the space travel enthusiast.  Fasten your seatbelt and prepare to blast off.

Turbo D-  very interseted in your post here.  this summer, i bought about 25 japanese LDs ranging from labyrinth  willow and the never ending story to batman, alien and various opera performances. never had LDs before and i CAN'T wait to get a player when i get home to try them out.  i have always been so intrigued by LDs.  am i correct in assuming that japanese LDs will work on US players?  i don't have  aplayer yet but plan to get one soon. thanks (sorry for gonig off topic)

For the most part they are region free other then the Pal players. There are a few Pal based players that will play NTSC stuff. Depending on where home is you should hit ebay if you get a chance,browse the players, and nab one. Research it first. The video quality isn't cut and dry/same on each one. There are some very sucky players out there.

You can use http://www.laserdiscarchive.co.uk/ to help research a player that has caught your eye. Your best bet is to nab a player with s-video,and make sure its a player with at least 49dB video s/n, otherwise your picture quality will really suffer and you wont be pleased. Anything with s-video typically has a 2-3 line comb filter too, but if your TV has a better comb filter then that then I recommend trying both s-video and composite on the player you get to see which output will result in a better picture on your display. You will also have to save separate picture settings typically for your LD player,as the contrast and brightness levels for LD are a tad different then DVD.

I highly recommend that if your going to get into this to make sure you have  a good SDTV. HDTV doesn't work well with LD typically unless you purchase a video scaler and deinterlacer to help prepare the video output to better suit the HDTV display. This kind of equipment can cost good money at times,so it ends up being cheaper to simply hit the store for a good SDTV instead.



Anyway,enough LD talk. This is what I paid for today :)

Shanghai: The Great Wall (FINALLY)
Cutey Honey FX

and the following extras:

Return to Zork
Boundary Gate
Anime Freak vol. 4
Anime Freak vol. 1

and the first five Deep Spance Nine novels in japanese which i did not know even existed.  there are very few trek books in japanese and all were quickly discontinued. 

congrats on the Dreamcast buy DJLobo.  i love the fx, saturn and pc engine dearly but there are LOADS of great titles for the DC too.  enjoy enjoy enjoy. you are going to have a blast with those games.

Geepee, I just noticed that you picked up the first five Deep Space Nine novels in Japanese. Very nice. Are these novelizations of the TV series, or original stories. Something tells me the first few DS9 novels were not original stories. Anyways, good to see another DS9 fan here and nice buys.  :mrgreen:

I just make fun of him because he always does stuff like this....his favorite color is pink, he likes girls dolls, etc.

Besides, he's terrible with the elf-he isn't able to handle the C button, so he would do better with the dwarf or someone more physical since he can only move to the right and jam on the attack button  :D

Not used to it just yet (this time), but you get used to it pretty quick -- a few days or so and you're good.  I did it before driving in Japan, and the reverse when I left Japan and went to Canada.

Picked these up for $2.99 a piece, even came with dust sleeve and manuals. Bought them at place called Play N' Trade video games that just opened recently here in Las Vegas. First time I've heard of these guys but appear to be helluva alot better than gamestop. They carry a small load of retro game although nothing spectacular, not even TG16 games. I did see a stack of Atari 2600 games and very tempting Intellivision console for $39.99! It's in great condition too.

edit: wait not a colecovision. A Intellivision I got them mixed.

Sky Shark is classic Toaplan shooting and it's fun fun fun. The controls are perfect even better with a joystick and I really dig the music. It's strange though, bits of the music sounds like something off a C64 especially in the 1st stage song.

Wish i had border down given it's current value though i'll get it one day.

As for the game with the ninja that is ninja cop saizou the,jpn version of wrath of the black manta.

The game is different to it in graphics and music compare to the u.s version.

Here's the video that shows it.

I picked up Dragon Knight II & III for a little less than $25 at a local shop. Not a great deal or anything, but so far worth the cash. DKII is missing the manual tho. XD I hate that.

my pc parts arrived today.. the old one seems like its starting to choke.

(http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m113/secretsociety1/IMG_1007.jpg)

this is the list.. (excluding Vista 64 which is about $140 USD) came to £257 is roughly $477 USD.. which makes me wonder if its cheaper in the USA..
(http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m113/secretsociety1/newpcprice.jpg)

Just waiting on the Vista 64 to arrive and maybe might order a new monitor..

ya the mouse supplied with the wireless keyboard does feel a bit cheap but... as long as its comfortable I'll just end up tolerating it :P

Whats really weird is the new CPU's don't have any pins like the old ones that have 100's of em' just place it into the cpu socket and clamp it down.. O-o

$5.79, and it probably cost a dollar or two to drive there.  Plus I tipped a dollar.
It was mint when I got it, but something happened in a blind munching rage and by the time I opened the box again almost half of it was gone!

Got Macross 2036 from GUTS and a backup compact flash card from Missa for my Juno-G. Both items will be providers of much fun...the compact flash card will allow for fun, indirectly.  :mrgreen:

Oh, and I know why these items took longer than usual to arrive - customs must be getting suspicious of all the mail I'm receiving. Both packages were opened. If the RCMP and Canada Customs want to have Turbografx Tournaments, they can get their own games.  :evil:

It's the Konami Game Master 2. It does alot of cool stuff with konami games like stage select, extra lives, screen captures, built-in SRAM for games like Metal Gear 2 & Contra, and my favorite - save states to disk.

Hehe. That's Outroyd, it's a RPG sort like the original Hydlide. From what I played you roam around taking over enemy bases for booty and powerups. You find new parts to upgrade your robot body and supposedly they're parts that transforms you into a plane or something like that. I haven't got far in the game. The main theme rocks in classic PSG.

I've never watched Votoms before but I see the resemblance. Votoms was out in 1983-84 and Outroyd in 1985, the artist must of been watching Votoms when he was asked to make a cover.

That RGB adapter is only taking composite and turning it into RGB, so the end result is no better than composite.
Title: Re: teh "what did you buy today"-thread
Post by: Duo_R on October 10, 2008, 05:14:13 AM
Are you kidding me? That is the funniest thing I have ever heard. :lol: Where did you base that statement on? Look at the port - there are 8 ports on this Duo-R. Look at a standard port - there are 5 ports. Hmmmm....3 extra data lines....and RGB has three lines.

How would one take composite and split into RGB? No - this Duo-R has RGB tapped from the HU6260 chip, and then fed to a 8din connector (note the 5 din connector has been replaced) - this allows you to use a standard AV cable, or a custom cable like you see in the picture that will allow you to use that RGB signal.

I can tell you that RGB compared to composite looks amazingly better, and no it doesn't actually look worse. I was going to do the 8din connector on my Duo, but this guy saved me the time. Worst case is it wasn't hooked up right, but I can take care of that.

That RGB adapter is only taking composite and turning it into RGB, so the end result is no better than composite.

Oh, sorry Duo_R... I was a bit sleepy when I first looked at that.  What I thought was going on was that you used an external adapter that plugged into the Duo 5-pin DIN and gave you an 8-pin DIN on the other end.   #-o

Anyway I have the same 8-pin DIN on my TurboGrafx-16 CD-ROM.

Joe now worries - it was a good laugh.  :lol: Of course my long winded response probably had to do with the money I spent on ordering that sucker (about $180 shipped with EMS from Japan). The main thing there is it does come with 3 games, Avenue 3 which I don't have, and saves me from having to do the RGB mod (oh and the modded guncon adapter). I am probably going to sell the games which lowers my purchasing cost.

Not just an old mac nubus card, but the 2nd or 3rd best.  It takes 30 pin simms.  The max memory it can handle is 2 or 4 megs.  I just hope it works.  There are boards a step to three which sit for sale at 60-80+shipping on ebay.  This person labeled it strangely though and I snagged it within 4 hours of it going up on auction.  I don't think the seller fully knows what it is.

It's "Only on Playstation".  I see you have failed to notice the "Only on Xbox" on said games as well (though most "exclusives" also have PC versions).  Can't even remember the last time I turned on my Xbox 360.  I've even turned on my freakin' Wii more recently, and that system is a piece of crap!  Oh, and I've turned on my regular Xbox more recently as well.  God may hate the PS3, but I don't believe in god.

That's why I bought all three systems!  Only people who are too poor can't afford all three and therefore feel the need to bash the other systems.  It is usually Xbox 360 owners who do the bashing, probably to justify that they've gone through 4 or 5 360's.  I'm still on my first 360, though.

Bought 3 movies. Enter the Dragon & A Clockwork Orange on Blu-Ray (2 for $35 at Best Buy) and Ladies & Gentlemen The Fabulous Stains.

Earlier in the week, I had to buy a new set of tires for my car. All of them were worn especially the right front tire. I've had my car for over 8 years and those were the original tires. I live close to where I work, so I don't put a lot of miles on my car.

This past month I bought myself a trip to the E.R. and right wrist surgery cause I thought it would be a smart idea to play with my buddy's dog while walking backwards holding a bottle of rum I had just bought from the liquor store.  ](*,) ](*,) ](*,) Tripped on a curb and planted the bottle right on some concrete. Cut up my right wrist pretty bad. Had surgery to fix some torn cartilage and to reattach the ulnar nerve.

Sadly, the bottle of rum was lost and no, I was sober at the time.

I wasn't intending to rip on sony, I was just making a general statement.  The Saturn games (towards the end) all said Sega Exclusive, The GameCube and Xbox all had theire respective (only for) tags.  This would be the first time Sony has tried this right?  I mean with the ps one and two they were firmly in first place.  I'm not sure but does the Wii have that on their boxes too? 

As for which systems you power on, I'm in the same boat.  I bet its been weeks since I played the 360, but the wife n' kids like their share of Feeding Frenzy 2, Rock Band, and other random plastic guitar games...lol

Kind of wish I had a PS3, but I am far too poor for one of those gamin' consoles of the future, I almost feel as left out as all the cool kids with 3Do's back in the mid 90's when all I had was a SNES and a Duo....

I mostly play my original Xbox, and on Wii- Mario Kart Wii and Wii Fit! yay!  the 360 can rot in hell for all I care :D  except for N+ and Braid, those games are pretty awesome

Hold on to that for dear life, joe: it just became SUPER RARE!

http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/10/offense_alert

Quote
Sony announced today that they’ve begun a worldwide recall of their fall blockbuster game LittleBigPlanet. This “platformer 2.0” game, loaded with tons of user-made content and Pixar-esque art design, was set to hit stores one week from today—and is sitting in a lot of stores right now—but they’ll all have to come back to Sony while new discs are made.

Reason? A song by the Mali group Toumani Diabate’s Symmetrical Orchestra is in the game, and its lyrics contain lines from the Qu’ran. In spite of the same song seeing release by Nonesuch Records in 2006 with no complaints, Sony has chosen to recall all discs to stop this song from reaching our ears. Apparently the transfer of a Qu’ran-quoting song from a CD to a video game crosses an ironclad line in Islam. You know, the one that was created when Muhammad first went to that cave with a Game Boy in hand.

Or maybe Sony was concerned about the content of the quotes getting into the game, which translate to “Every soul shall have the taste of death” and “All that is on Earth will perish.” Because if it’s sung in Arabic, it must be a threat, rather than a contemplation on an eventual downfall and rebirth of all life. Good thing Sony took aggressive recall action before our PlayStation 3s became tools of Islam. Thanks, culture of fear!

Joe are you sure that it's Muslims that are offended? As Guyjin pointed out, it's possible that it was removed because of fear of Islam, rather than fear of offending Muslims.

a 2nd jap. SMS for $10:

That's awesome.  What price do they usually go for where you're at?  I've only found one at a
recycle store and they had it on sale for $300, then cut it down to $160... way too much, IMO.
I think they're on crack.

yeah..at akiba a boxed/used (never seen one in mint con. thought) usually goes for about $120 ~160. my first one i found (boxed complete) was in a very old recycle store and they didn't had any clue about it. so got it also for 10 bucks.
this time i found it in a hard off store, also for 10 bucks, but just the lose device. anyway, it's just perfect to hook it up to the set permanently for a daily fast play :)

Those prices are nasty.. I guess the system is rare or something.  Your score was legendary.. even better than my Supergrafx for $50, IMO.  I guess I'll be stuck with my Mega Adapter.. I'm not paying those lunatic prices.  :evil:

I recently purchased a Japanese Nintendo 64 in order to enjoy the games in their original 60Hz goodness (I'm from the UK where everything used to be crippled by 50Hz PAL releases).
(http://www.we-play-games.com/admins/darn/console/n64/n64_1.jpg)
I've put together a nice collection including Wave Race (one of the greatest games made).
It was a little time after this that I realised there was a Japanese re-release of the game with Rumble Pak support, so I finally got my copy of that delivered today.
(http://www.we-play-games.com/admins/darn/console/n64/waverace_1.jpg)
It's important to play Wave Race in the best way possible.

I own 2 and whatever is on the ps1..3 or 4 and I have only been able to get a princess in 2, and that was with a little help from foreign students and later gamefaq help.  Princess Maker 2 was like my The Sims when I was growing up (a virtual doll house).  The newspaper here locally even covered the Princess Maker 2 English release news when that came out.

Got these off ebay, MV-1C and Metal Slug X. I got the board for about $60 and the Metal Slug X for $22...I think those are good prices. I'm surprised how compact the MV-1C is I really thought this would be bigger. This actually a first for me, I've never owned anything Neo Geo except their joysticks. Very exciting to have something new to play with. The only downside is I can't play it, I'm still waiting for my supergun to arrive. :(

I don't think my skills are good enough to consolize this. I can solder and easily do the internal wiring, but building a nice case would be problem since I don't have the tools. Don't got a jamma cab either, really takes up to much space which I can't spare, I'm in a 10x12 sq ft bedroom. Nope, I gonna hook it up to a supergun which should be coming in the mail soon. (I'm crossing my fingers that it'll arrive tomorrow...I hope.) I paid $36 for the supergun I know that's a great deal. The cost is so low because it has no video encoder, just RGB through scart connector and I have a XRGB-2 that will be perfect for it.


Kozo sent me two awesome shooters which came in the mail today.

Its the extended cut from the 1978 Cannes Film Festival showing that Romero put together before it was released in theaters. The theater cut is actually the directors cut according to Romero. They (Anchor Bay, Elite, everyone else) used to refer to the extended cut by calling it the director cut back in the 90's. Honestly don't know why??? Maybe they just assumed every time you added extra footage back in it qualifies as a Dir. cut perhaps, or felt applying that label would help sales?

Yea Necro, I love the first 2 Hellraisers. The fourth one is pretty nice too, so I need to nab it also. I'm borderline on 3 as I wasn't too hot one some of the direction it took.

Ahhhh. The same thing happened when they released the Star Trek II Director's Cut DVD, with added scenes. Nick Meyer, the Director, calls its theatrical release the Director's Cut for the same reason as Romero stated above, since it was the one that was shown in theaters. The added scenes, or different takes, were actually shown on TV during the 80s. I guess adding those scenes filled the time in the television slot better, or something.

Great buy. You might want to look into modifying it to accept scart instead of jp21 RGB cables. Scart cables are easier to find for your consoles and definitely cheaper than the japanese counterparts. I have the non-plus 2 model that's modded for scart, and it's the most important piece in my video game setup.

While I was at the mall, I noticed GameStop had a buy 2 get 1 free sale, which is the only time I'll shop there. I bought two copies of Infinite Undiscovery and Okami for the Wii.

Excuse the bad quality picture, I just picked this up from a local kijiji seller:

(http://moblog.oopo.net/media/Dan Peori/.small/1225318738.jpg.JPG)

A TG16 + booster, 5 controllers + tap, Military Madness and a loose Bomberman '93, plus some other minor games.

Cheap!


Holy crap that's a nice grab! How cheap was it exactly?

My supergun arrived in the mail today. Worked out great with the MV-1C and Metal Slug X I just bought. Very compact and clean, looks professionally made too. It's missing features, but for a newbie it should suit my need perfectly. I'll definitely need to buy a jamma extender harness because it's too tight to remove it off the pcb sometimes. I'm afraid of breaking the edge connector.

I ignored this, along with Koyaanisqatsi and the others on Laserdisc. After Koyaanisqatsi made it to DVD I checked it out at the library to make sure I felt I made the right decision (as a local Vintage Stock had it in on LD for 10 bucks incase I wanted to go grab it real fast), and still feel I did, as I fell asleep after about 20 mins of it. Im just not into the time lapse worldly scenery stuff. Its def a great way to show off higher res technology Im sure, as people raved about them on LD in their time, but its just not for me as there are other far more visually impressive films out there that keep my attention span going.

I know the LD of Koyaanisqatsi retains the original 1.33:1 aspect ratio too. People often mistaken it for Pan and Scan, but it infact was originally filmed in open 35mm and viewed that way. The newer releases are being soft matted to 1.85:1, which is annoying for some people since there was nothing visually going on with that film that needed to be hidden away they say, so they revert back to the LD copy as the most important release.

I would ignore this on LaserDisc as well (in fact, I did).  It really needs a higher resolution format for both video and audio and Blu-ray delivers.  It definitely isn't for everyone and surely isn't the disc to pop in when you're in the mood for high quality Hollywood moviemaking like Teen Wolf.  But it is visually enthralling.  Some people need a dramatic narrative (re: story or actual purpose) to retain interest.  This is National Geographic on a Disc.

I know it's not exactly a video game purchase, but I bought a TV from a guy on Craigslist today on my lunch break. The reason I mention it is because my recent Duo-R w/RGB mod purchase is what inspired me to get a new TV in the first place. I'm almost ashamed to post the specs of my old TV:

OLD
19 inch
off brand "Orion"
only one plug on the back: coaxial  :shock:

Yes, I've been plugging all my consoles into an RF-to-composite/S-Video converter from Radio Shack for years now.  :oops:

NEW
29 inch
Hitachi
Component, S-Video, coaxial, two AV ins, one AV out, etc. etc.

The guy I bought it from was moving back to Seattle and wanted to get it off his hands, so he sold it to me for $99. I told him he didn't have to give me a dollar back when I handed him five twenties.  :)

Blueberry Pocky?!? I am outta the loop. Good thing I am going to Tokyo Kid soon.

Meh Pocky is way overrated anyways, the chocolate, strawberry, blueberry, etc stuff the dip the sticks in usually has a sort of dry flaky texture and doesn't even taste that great. Hershey's chocolate tastes better than the chocolate on chocolate pocky, and that's bad. Hershey's chocolate is close to being the worst there is. If want something similar but tastes exponentially better, get Yan Yan. Sure it has a much more limited variety, but who cares as Pocky sucks to begin with.

Pocky is garbage, like most other Japanese snacks... the price/taste ratio just isn't worth it, IMO.

Trying to beef up my Mario collection for my wife's arrival.

Also, patience paid off for me, because I resolutely refused to pay $10 bucks or more, as so many sellers are charging. It took me a few days but there are so many copies floating around I got it pretty cheap.

Well I guess you could mod it for s-video and have two, or use an external RGB to s-video converter.  But I was referring to using it instead of composite.  Some peeps might not believe that an actual Mega Drive compatible device was released with a tr00 2 god s-video jack.

yeah..that was one of my two major reasons why i wanted a wondermega so bad, that i can use carts & mega-cds in one and have a tr00 2 god s-video output :) plus, it's so damn good looking^^

street fighter for pce... :-k are there supposed to be two games in this double case?

Yes; the other side is supposed to contain a copy of Dracula X: Special Version.  :D

Seriously though, no.  The extra space was to provide adequate room for the hump in the HuCard and the thick(ish) manual; the same was done with Populous.  I imagine it was also for marketing purposes, since the immense awesomeness and gigantic 20mb HuCard couldn't possibly have been contained in a mere single sized case.

I got a narfed Turbo Express with a rotten (wet) battery port (4 of 6 were salvagable) for $13. Now I have to make a new battery connector from wire and solder the damn thing. At least it came with a working TV tuner!!

Pics posted soon; My camera is junk.

I have had too much stuff arrive over past few weeks, so here are some basic pics of some of it. I simply dont have the time to take pics of everything right now, and more stuff is still on the way too, Joe figures, Ghost in the Shell CAV LD, ect.

Damn, could they get any lower-cut on that low-cut Lady Jaye shirt?

(I hope so. She was one of my faves back in the day. Remember the episode where she got shrunk and.... nevermind.)

The one Tat shows is a pack-in for arkanoid 2 on the famicom.

I have,the game and it's paddle cib too i will say the paddle for it is nice and the cord length is just right too.

Though...i can't say the same for the oirginal on the famicom wich i have as well too cib.

The paddle for it is black with a red knob but i find it's cord length is too short.

Still there is one neat feature for it you can plug the paddle in from the original, arkanoid and into the other and use it for a vs play on arkanoid II.

Armed Police Batrider - A dream come true...I'm playing Batrider on real hardware.

Panasonic FS-A1FX MSX2+ - Not bad deal for $80 shipped. It's missing a disk drive but I plan to install a common PC floppy drive to fill the empty space.

Ikari Warriors CP - My HRAP2 didn't have enough space to mount a LS-30 joystick. So I bought a used joystick enclosure that had a 3inch clearance, a perfect fit for the LS-30. I installed some yellow happ buttons, white yenox buttons, and hole plugs that bought from LizardLick.

Batrider is fantastic - huge Raizing fan (huger Cave fan though...). Good to see others here who are into the pcb thing. Nice MSX as well - been thinking about getting one, but it'd be mostly for show - not too many games I know of on it that I'd like. I'd like to try and play through the Castlevania version on there - the single screen jobber.

No pics, but I got Persona 4 today (yeah!!) and have a code for the closed beta of SMT: Imagine, the MMO game. Going to try that this weekend.
Persona 4 is fantastic so far. A lot like Persona 3, but even more polished.

I can see why just with the game and it's paddle it sure is cheaper.As for myself i'm just rather picky when i got arkanoid 1&2 for the famicom cib.I just like having it's box with the art-work,manual and all.

Though i've notice arkanoid II shows up more cib then what the original does.

Yeah, I love those Sega controllers.  The joystick unscrews out and is replaced by a little rubber button thingy.

How, exactly, does the Ne-G-con controller work?  I can't imagine that twisting it one way or the other is a very intuitive way to steer.  With Ridge Racer, you'll be bouncing off of the walls no matter what.

Joe Redifer & Bust3dstr8 ---> one side of the twist controls works the gas and brake the other side the steering from my understanding, but when i get a chance to try it I will let you guys know what i tink....it is so freak'n different it was a must have!!

I saw this system at "Game Crazy" about a year ago and thought it was just a generic NES but I recently discovered some things about it that convinced me to purchase one: It plays both American (NES) and Japanese (Famicom) Nintendo cartridges. It has composite RCA cables rather than RF. Wireless controllers are available for it. The instruction manual was designed to look like a NES cartridge and even has a dust jacket! The back of the manual has the Digital Press rarity guide with complete list of NES and Famicom games.

Those Gen Nex clones are pretty sexy, especially with the wireless controllers (too bad they don't make 'em for the Turbo).  There's always a catch though, and with these it's that they don't work with Castlevania III or Guantlet (among others that nobody cares about).

Actually, I found the wireless NEX controllers somewhat hard to use. it's fine for things like platformers where you're pressing one direction most of the time, but for games where you tap the D-pad a lot (puzzle games, shmups) it doesn't seem to respond immediately. I much prefer the wired one that comes with it; it's very handy for games like Metroid or Zelda where you push select and start a lot.

Oh man, how cool would it be if there was a Generation NEC?  .....I'll answer that -  VERY COOL!  =P~

...I'm just imagining what it would look like.  :-k I'd design it about as small as the PCE, but with a built-in CDROM2 Arcade. It would also have to be compatible with the Supergrafx. I guess RGB/SVid/Component would have to be standard as well. :) The perfect all-in-one unit. I seriously want one. Who's up to the task?  :P

From Rising Stuff: Brandish, Galaxy Fraulein Yuna (reprint with HuVideo disc), Kabuki Itouryodan, Avenue Pad 6, and a pair of wireless controllers.  Everything was nicely packaged and in darn good condition; in fact, Kabuki Itouryodan and one of the wireless controllers was brand new.  Thanks, Sensei.  8)

The device you have is the Memory Base.  Very few games actually support it, I believe Motoroder MC is one of them.

I couldn't get a TG16 kiosk like Sparky did but I got a piece of it....the marquee. There are no scratches and the only flaw is a chunk missing from the lower left corner. Actually, I just looked at photos of Sparky's kiosk and this marquee is different from his.

yeah, it's wacky. from what I've heard, the title character has nothing to do with that israeli from 2000 years ago; it's a shadowgate-like adventure game, but unlike that game you cannot die or fail; you just keep going until you get to the end or you give up.

I had never heard about the game til the guy was like "I GOT THIS FOR SALE: 20$" and I was like "O_O I want that".




I wonder if they mean to call it Jesus, like the Mexico folk.... "hay-seuss".....   I dont know.


20$ for a game called Jesus with that cover, is worth it imo

Great find these are fantastic arcade sticks. I built an adaptor so I could use mine with my NES toaster.
I highly recommend swapping the 30mm ball top with a 35mm one from Sanwa or Seimitsu. Also it'll benefit with some re-greasing, it's an old stick even if it's mint and unused the grease might be all dried up by now.

Yeah it is a nice joystick i got it from 16bit on ebay there.Though i found out it won't work on my famicom av sad to say.I need either a original famicom or the sharp twin famicom to use it.Though this isn't a rare case either where some third party controllers will not work on a famicom av.I talk to sensei about it and,he mention even the joyball will not work on it.Oh well i been thinking about getting a twin famicom for backup use any ways.

That's strange, I wonder why it doesn't work?
Oh well...plug it into the 7pin controller ports instead. Those I know are identical to the NES pinout and from there that joystick should work. You'll need to build an adaptor though which is piece of cake. Trust me you're only dealing with 5 wires here. Here's the one I built, I hacked off the cord from a nes pad and wired the end to a DB15 male connector.

That might work for me letting run it on it's front controller ports.Even duo_r suggested,having it work that way for me.Befor you say why don't i do it myself simple i have no electronic skill what so ever.

That 15-pin connector in the AV-famicom isn't for controllers.  As a matter of fact I remember using a neo geo joystick in that port and pressing down on the joystick made the system reset or something of that sort.

I all ready went over with that duo_r and zeon etc it is the nature of the famicom av.Though i can use my both of my,Arkanoid paddles on the console go figure.When i bought the joystick even 16bit stated for the famicom or twin famicom only.Still i'm gonna try what rolins suggested see if it that works.If that fails...there's all ways getting a nes advantage since a famicom av can use most nes controllers.

This first part doesn't really belong in here, but oh well.

Nintega isn't very bright opening his ignorant mouth, at some poor, feeble attempt to insult me.

Just like this thread, which pretty much Joe nailed it dead on:
https://www.pcenginefx.com/forums/index.php?topic=6366.msg107322
You haven't learned a damn thing Nintega, just like you haven't learned yet that you can't insult someone you know nothing about. Also, what was this BS the other day in shout about how I was cool with you before Mike came along? He had nothing to do with that; YOU DID, so go throw that blame game on someone else, like maybe the person that you see when you look in the mirror. This isn't high school Nintega. Stop trying to get people on your side, when one doesn't exist in the first place. Grow up.

And to answer you Nintega: I got the game in a lot, and didn't want it. I looked at game footage and screen shots prior to even purchasing the lot, and decided I had no interest in it, and was planning on reselling it, as the rest of the stuff is what I mainly wanted. Yeah, sure it was new; I looked at the extras, art book, and back of the case for a minute, and gazed upon the glory of a nice JP boxset, and realized it isn't for me. There are lots of games like that. That doesn't mean they are shit, that just means I have no interest in them. Nothing more. I'm not really in the mood to try and play that many RPGs that are Japanese language only anymore, unless I have genuine interest in them. So tell me again, why would I keep something that I have no interest in, when I traded it to nectarsis and got some stuff that I wanted more? So next time, when someone gets something on here, try thinking that there might be a reason why the previous person didn't want it, other than possibly that the person was dumb, or stupid, just because they don't like something you do. I could have opened it, but knowing that it was a game I didn't want, why would I open it, just so I could prove myself right and decrease the value? I'm sure nectarsis appreciates it being sealed, more so than open.

None the less, nectarsis is right, I'm not a fan of the Far East of Eden games, with the exception of the Neo Geo fighter, which I forgot about until the other day. They just don't interest me, especially the ones on PCE CD.

Either way, this is what nectarsis traded me for the above. Not as impressive, but I would rather have this stuff than the box set:

(http://i42.tinypic.com/4vh9c6.jpg)

Quick photo. All 3 cased items are sealed, Guides are either new or mint/near mint.

Yeah, sure I could have probably sold the stuff I traded him, for more than what I got, but it wasn't a huge concern of mine on that deal. Really, if he wanted to after he opened it, played it, and then decided he didn't like it or whatever, he could resell it and really not lose anything on the deal in compare to what I traded him for. Guess what, you can be the buyer Nintega! So put your money where your mouth is!  :P :lol:

Very cool game. Huge Toaplan fan - I'd love to get this someday!

I'd have to disagree that it's their best offering though, Tatsujin. Batsugun is by far my fav from Toaplan with V-Five a close second.

The other Famiclone I had (Sachen Q-Boy) could play those games with the enhanced music chips with no problem. The controller ports were just shot.

Now what I definitely find strange is that Generation NEX rejects Namco106 and Konami VRC6 games, but despite that..... it played Lagrange Point, VRC7 intact but with varied volume on some channels.

Oh yeah i remember you had a video showing the (Sachen Q-Boy) playing CV3.It's a shame it's controller ports are crappy though.Though it's weird that a nex even plays, lagrange point and that use the VRC7 chip.That puzzles me that it does in the frist place.

it's less a question of where do i work, more than where do i live. if you visit shops with PCE games in the shelf for a dollar each, could you hold back of not buying them? i can't  :P

my weekly hard-off bicycle tours bring me back some hauls everytime. but i rarelly spend more than $30 on one trip.

but your're right, i should little bit refrain from buying tons of stuff in future. not because the money, since it doesn't cost the world, but because my limited space :|

The Japanese labels are Garou, Magical Drop 3, League Bowling (it also has some sort of link up
 connection in the top left of cart) and the busted POS is a Panic Bomber. The Hu is 1943 Kai.

The Ebay market really sux for PC Engine right now. It is all overpriced BIN stuff, I barely ever see
a good ole' auction nowdays. It has been a good month for MVS finds though, maybe the crap economy forcing people to sell the more HTF games?

Taito???

Waitaminute.  Taito is owned by Squaresoft so that means that this game must be a slow, boring and downright unentertaining RPG... right?

I want to get that game, but nobody has it!  Gamestop says the nearest copy to my location (Colorado) is in Pennsylvania.  This happens whenever I try to buy a DS game.  Nobody stocks DS games!  The system must not be very popular.

Title: Re: teh "what did you buy today"-thread

it's $34.99 at GS...the cd is included in all first run editions (was previously only for preorders).
Title: Re: teh "what did you buy today"-thread
Post by: Duo_R on February 25, 2009, 07:41:22 PM
NEC is correct. Although when I opened mine up I noticed a little scuff on the DS case. I called Gamestop and they said I could exchange for another or get a 10% discount. Since I have so many other DS cases I could swap out with, I chose the discount (and left an extra copy for someone that would want it locally).

At first I thought the game could only be played on stylus, but after figuring out that it did work with d-pad, I am going to play this for a while and see what I think. It should be interesting to see this latest translation. The intro closer matches the YS anime videos that I have watched (Adol is washed ashore after getting wrecked in that massive storm that prevents the islanders from escaping).

Ugh, university book stores make a killing charging outrageous prices for textbooks. I miss university, but I don't miss spending all that money. Some profs, usually younger ones who still had the university experience fresh in their minds, would actually use booklets of photocopies instead of making the student pay $100 for a frakin' textbook. Anyway, I know your pain.  #-o

Illusion of Gaia was a great game. I would definitely check out SoulBlazer also (it's a little harder to find at a good price, but a great game nonetheless).

I hear Terranigma (UK) is also very good, but I haven't played it yet.

Hey Sparky, nice find on the Pixelvision!  Please take some footage and upload it to Youtube or something.  I remember seeing commercials for that and thinking "I can record real life on a cassette tape I would be so awesome if I had one!".  I know it is black and white only, but the concept is still really cool.

hey thanks guys... i picked this up just for the cool factor, recording on a 90min cassette 11 mins of video & audio in window box fromat i had to try, there is some footage on youtube to show what it can do.

i am experimenting with different audio cassettes to see if there are any quality difference (shit, i cannot belive i am buying audio cassettes again :P) but first i need to buy a head cleaner or maybe even get it serviced as i am finding the rewind and play is slowing down at times... it is pretty cool what i have recorded so far, audio is perfect, just figuring out lighting and getting the best video out of it. I will post some video when i get it working proper :)

NO CARDBOARD SLEEVE???!!!!  That means you are not hardcore.  Not being hardcore makes you less of a gamer.  Being less of a gamer makes you less of a person.  Being less of a person means being among the first to be sacrificed when the moon men attack.  Nice going, Einstein!

Sweet!  Super Castlevania IV is the best SNES game, or at least one of the very best.

I have Skies of Arcadia on the DC and I don't recall it being too interesting.  Never finished it.  I won the Gamecube version in some contest and I think I gave it away or sold it for cheap.

Skies of Arcadia was an RPG for the DC.  It's pretty fun.  You're a sky pirate that's out to stop an evil empire from destroying the world.  It has ship to ship air battles a nice number of sidequests, and a decent enough story.   It's one of my favorite DC games.

While it's not a bad stick I'd say mod it.  The stick is too loose for it's own good if you're playing a fighting game.  Half of the time I feel like I'm trying harder than I need to when I'm doing dragon punch motions or tiger knees.  I mean it's something you can get used to but why bother?  If you can I'd say at the very least put a Sanwa JLF type stick in it or an Sanwa GT-Y octagon restrictor plate in it.  It'll do wonders for that stick.

I know it is too loose i gave it a try on,SF3 thirdstrike.Doing a circle motion on it didn't all ways come off right for the special moves.Later on i would like have it modded so it is useful to use.The reason i bought the joystick becuase it sure was cheaper then...buying a hori real pro arcade joystick.

Post by: Tom Phobos on April 14, 2009, 10:01:32 PM
Hehe, thx :)
Jepp, definitely not the nicest one, but it was shipped from germany, so i don't had to pay much shipping costs. Overall it was about $200 for the computer and $10 for shipping.
Actually i only own Battle Chess for it. But i hope to have more games for it soon :) I didn't bought games for it before, cause first i wanted to test the computer itself before i buy any games. Also i had to build an adapter to connect the X68k to the VGA monitor. And as you can see, it works, so now i'm on the "quest for games" ;)

Yes, we know. You buy EVERYTHING from Play-Asia, you have them linked in your signature, and you advertise them whenever you can. Then you claim you have no affiliation with them.  :roll:

Not bashing Play-Asia (as I've never dealt with them) but there are more fakes out there than originals. Some sellers may not know they've got a counterfeit, some may know and not say anything about it. Needless to say, $300 for a bootleg Sapphire is a total ripoff.

If your buddies at Play-Asia are such a respectable company, have them post some close-up shots of the ACTUAL Sapphires they are selling, to prove they aren't counterfeit.

But that still won't make you any less of a shill.  [-X

this compilation of hotness includes:

- salamander 2
- japanese version of life force
- xexex
- msx version of gradius 2

amazing stuff.  the only one of those games i had ever had opportunity to play before was salamander, so this disc is pure joy for me.  salamander 2 is mind-blasting.  simply amazing.  i can't believe that they part with this load of goodness for only 35 bones (play-asia.com).  i won't be the one to tell them that i ripped them the funk off, though :lol:

The Sega Sports Pad is pretty cool, but I don't think it would work well with golf games since they all use the TAP-TAP-TAP style of swinging to my knowledge.  It works great with ASStro Warrior and games like that.  I even used it to play Sagaia and Sonic 1 on the Genesis.  I got surprisingly far in both games!  Now I want to try Marble Madness on either Genesis, SMS or both.

That's exactly what I did last month. Saw a copy of Keith Courage(the only Turbo game in the store) under glass, complete and looked like it had never been used. Went for $4. Now Keith Courage is doing what Keith Courage does best...looking pretty on my shelf :lol:

I lucked out, I must say.  He said that the only problem is that it says close the cover even with it closed.  I figure it must be a really easy fix (like a broken switch).  I think I bought it like an hour after it was posted on ebay.

Which game is that? If you're looking for suggestions, I really liked 3D world runner growing up. It used a cheesy red and blue effect here, but in Japan I think it used the 3d system.

I have Famicom Grand Prix II: 3D Hot Rally.  It's a good game  8)  From my research only the following games use it:

Famicom Grand Prix II: 3D Hot Rally (FDS)
Falsion (FDS)
3D Deep Dungeon (FDS)
3D JJ Tobidase Daisakusen (FDS)
3D JJ Tobidase Daisakusen 2 (Cart)
Cosmic Epsilon (Cart)
Highway Star (Cart)
Attack Animal Gauken (Cart)

Only 8 games.  Strangely there are other Famicom games that support Red+Blue 3D glasses, but they won't work with official 3D system.

@SuperDeadite: get highway star (aka rad racer). it's probably the one to get with most ease and cheap and it's also one of the best.

@guy. the famicom version uses the usual alternate eye covering trick, with a LCD film in the google to blank the visor. the game itself then alternates between two view pictures, synchronized with the google.
the effect is amazing, but it also halfs the framerate which gives you some headache after a while.

I know. I've never seen this in person ( :cry: ) but I do know how it works. I was under the impression that 3D world runner was originally intended for those glasses, but changed in the US to use the red and blue method.  #-o

Post by: Tatsujin on June 17, 2009, 02:27:51 PM
yeah..the red blue method is cheap and more affordable for the western kids. adds like the 3D google would have failed 100x more than it had in japan. and in japan it already had epic failed. only sega did that mistake once :lol:

You are correct:  3D World Runner = JJ Tobidase Daisakusen :)

Hey Tatsujin, I'm not sure if my googles are working correctly.  When I play 3D Hot Rally with them, I get "double-vision" with the background.  Meaning I see 2 buildings when there is only 1.  The foreground looks just fine though...

Well after waking up this am to find that the post lady left a pink slip for a package she tried to deliver I was really anxious to track her down and get my package....SO I called the Post Office (which is closed on Saturdays) and talked to the supervisor Nate. Nate told me that if I call back at about 5 today he could tell me if she was there. So instead of calling back at 5 I went to the Post Office at 4:20ish and called him back. I told him I was sitting in the parking lot and was gonna wait until the post lady got back from her route. He said that was find and I gave him my number. I sat in that parking lot till 5:40 when she finally showed up. I walked to the gate and yelled out "Do you deliver the reserve apartments?" she exclaims back to me "Yes....Hold on really quick!" In all my excitement I damn near nutted my pants! lol

She told me"Go ahead and drive on around just ignore the BIG DO NOT ENTER SIGN" So I proceeded to drive around to find that she had disappeared.  :?

About 10 minutes passed by and she finally comes walking out of the Post office with my package in hand! I told her my story and that I had sat in the parking lot for over an hr waiting on her. She told me to come in so I could sign off for it and guided me to the back intrance where all the magic happens! I signed off on the package and gave her a big hug!!!! She told me to have a nice day and be careful out there! hehehe

 =P~                                  =P~                                     =P~                                          =P~                                         =P~

So I got home and unpacked it! Everything was individually bubblewrapped and was in pristene condition! The tenokoe bank works good, L-Dis is a pretty cool game although rather difficult and then some other game of what seems like maybe an RPG or comic type game Im not sure its all in Japanese is complete with spine card! Everything is in minty fresh condition minus a small crack on the back of the tenokoe jewel case.....Easily fixed tho!

I already have pics posted of the Duo from the auction page but if anyone wants I can post up pics of it in my possesion although I dont see the need.

Oh yes and I also recieved my Minty Fresh Ys III game today CIJ!!!!!Not a scratch or smudge on the CD and the book looks like it has never been taken outa the case.

I found a lady on Craigslist selling a TG16 with games for $45 an hour and a half from me.  After speaking with her, I found out she was going to be in my area (only 40 minutes away) for her job today.  I knew that one of the games she had was Soldier Blade and I really wanted it.  So, I met up with her today and bought the TG16 and games.  We went out to her car and she pulled out a TG16 box and I almost creamed my pants.  I was expecting a reagular cardboard box with the console and some Hu's, not a retail box.  Then, she went back and grabbed the games.  ALL CIB!!!!  I then proceeded to make a mess of myself.  I couldn't thank her enough.  Here's some pics of today's treasure!

(PS- If anyone has the paperwork that came with the original console, let me know if you are willing to sell.  I would love to make it truly complete.)

Well I went over to the local antique game/trade/sell we jack the prices up way to high store today and found me nice little catch!

I gots Metal Gear Solid, Castlevania: Symphony of the Night and R-TYPES (both original games on one disc arcade style with refreshed graphics) for a mere $45!

Castlevania goes from $20 to $40 complete, R-TYPES varies from $10 - $40 and Metal Gear Solid goes from about $10 - $35ish.........Not a bad buy if you ask me!

The shop is ran by an old mexican dude that I think gets all this shit from auctions/flea markets and well ofcourse trades! He has tons of shit for everything except the Duo  :( but stuff for NES, SNES, PSX and especially Sega Carts and more are plentiful!  He used to be descently priced but it seems in the last few months his prices jumped up and its more like shopping at ebay now....Hes a nice guy tho and if you buy a couple he will usually give it to you for a bundle price! I think I would have spend like $60 on all these but he said $45 so thats cool!

Well anyways heres the pictures:  8)

Well the R-Type on is flawless, the metal gear has some light scuffs on the  back side of the disc, the castlevania one has some minor scratches on the back side that seem to follow a cleaning pattern...kinda like someone tried to clean one side of it with a rough rag or paper towel. Other than that yeah they are in pretty dang good condition!

scored at the local thrift shop -
$12,
Sega Genesis Model 1 with Original under unit Sega CD with Sherlock holms and Sonic CD.

Huzzah!!  Couldn't pass it up.

It came with two controllers and two AC adapters-  I think I've got an extra R/F adapter for a gens model 1 unit.  Is there anything else I'm going to need to get this thing working?

I'm not going to get to test this baby out till I get home tonight   :(  lol

Any RF adapter will work be it for the NES or even the obscure TurboGrafx-16!

You might need the following:

-"Mixing cable" for the Sega CD.  This is just a simple mini to mini headphone jack cable that can be bought at any Rado Shack.  It goes from the Genesis headphone jack to the "mixing" port on the back of the Sega CD and allows you to adjust noise made by the Genesis in comparison to the noise made by the Sega CD itself.  VERY helpful in games like Road Avenger and Lord of Thunder where the Genesis sound effects are way too loud.  But normally keep that volume slider on the Genesis all the way up.  If you do not use this, then route ALL sound out of the Genesis headphone jack straight to your stereo system (via a heaphone jack to RCA cable that can be had at Radio Shack, etc) or just listen through the RF connection.

-RCA stereo cables to hook the Sega CD up to a stereo system if you use the mixing cable.  Remember, if you do not use the mixing cable and use the RCA cables, you will not hear all of the sounds and cartridges will be silent.

Well as of now its a no-go.  I got the AC adapters and R/F cables and when I get everything powered on I get no Sega CD power.... :( 

Now, I tried the AC adapter's on both the genesis and Sega CD, switched them and everything.  It only works on the gens.  DAMN!!

The Sega CD seems to power on for a split second when I first hit the power button, like the two lights on the front light up for about a fraction of a second.  I fear I may need to open this beast up... and probably move further questions or assistance to a more appropriate thread/ forum...lol

That sucks.  That could be a dead mobo in the Sega CD.  But then again, maybe not.  I experienced where when you power up you get the initial screen, but it is frozen and that was a bad mobo.  Could be some sort of connection error.  Make sure the power supply for the Sega CD is 36 Volts or something like that.  The Genesis power supply should be 17 volts (I think).  If they are both 17, the Sega CD might not work.

Tom Phobos, I have never heard of that game.  Is it an official US release?

I bought this like forever ago (several years when still in highschool) and my friend has been hanging on to it since then. I seem to have always forget about it when I wanted to get it back while visiting. I now live in the same area as him and went to his house to pick it up tonight! I paid a $1.00 for this at a garage sale in angleton,tx!

It is complete with all manual, paperwork etc! The only thing Im missing is the RF module. Ofcourse that is simply replace with an old nes one or TG one.

For any means I took a couple pics for yall to see! I wish the box was in better shape but its torn from the left to right about half way down the top on both sides. My guess is its from taking it in and out of the box over the years who knows if the peeps where the original owners.

R-Types alone is worth it for $45. For a laugh, look at the silly "updated" 3-D intro cinema. It can't compare to the (admittedly lackluster) cinemas from PCE R-Type Complete CD.

For further fun, I found a bug in R-Type 1: If you kill the first boss, but then die (or vice-versa), you'll play the second stage with jacked-up graphics (think of NES games when some/all tiles get wonky). Stay in the middle of the screen (vertically) to avoid the walls (you can't see them, but you'll crash into them). I think I almost made it to the second boss... I still want to see what happens if you beat the second boss.

Though it's limited in features, KORG DS-10 is still crack. You can move a crowd with this thing.

I wish I had a DSi though, cause on KORG if you tape a straw to the DSi speaker you can turn it into a Daft Punk/Peter Frampton/Roger Zapp-esque talkbox

It's a heavy duty 9-volt. Those things never wane.

By the way, Joe, I just checked out your site (a day or two ago) and I absolutely loved the InterFilm stuff you had on there. I had never heard of it before (no big surprise). I loved the "Making of" featurette... I couldn't tell if some folks were serious (they seemed as if they were trying to distance themselves from the film), or if it was just they're way of having a laugh. The director/creator dude was pure gold. Platinum.

There are three reasons why iPods 'sound like crap':
1. The stock earbuds, which are absolute shit. I have a pair of full-sized cans (Sennheiser HD280 Pros) and a set of small clip-on style phones (Koss KSC-75). They both sound fantastic with this setup.
2. Crappy MP3 encoding. All of my stuff is ripped as WAV from my own collection, then converted to m4a lossless. Not only is it indistinguishable (to me) from the original CD, but I can burn it to disc if I need to for a bit-perfect copy of the original.
3. The iPod internal amp is mediocre. By using the line-out port instead of the headphone jack, the signal bypasses the internal amp circuitry of the iPod and provides a cleaner, more direct signal to the output source. The iPod volume control is disabled when using the line-out (since that is all done in the iPod's amp section) but the cmoy amp has a volume control so it's a non-issue.

These three things definitely fix the crappy sound issue.  :mrgreen:

That 9v battery came with the amp, I plan on getting a rechargeable 9v at some point before this one dies. People typically get 20-30 hours out of a standard 250mAh 9v battery, depending on how loud you're cranking the thing.

It's actually a cmoyBB, based loosely on the original cmoy design (http://headwize.com/projects/showfile.php?file=cmoy2_prj.htm). This design is from John Seaber at JDS Labs (http://www.jseaber.com/cMoy/news.htm) and includes a bass boost switch.

I agree 100% I have a pair of Shure noise-cancelling earbuds, and an ancient pair of Boss Headphones. I gave my apple earbuds to a Mac User friend of mine.

It's actually a cmoyBB, based loosely on the original cmoy design (http://headwize.com/projects/showfile.php?file=cmoy2_prj.htm). This design is from John Seaber at JDS Labs (http://www.jseaber.com/cMoy/news.htm) and includes a bass boost switch.


Thank you! Very cool, The Arduino is an open-source board and I've seen similar applications.

Nice haul there, overrride!

Jerrypuss, I agree about what causes the iPods to sound like crap.  But with my awesome as hizzel studio headPh0nze and direct uncompressed sound files, the iPods still sound much worse than, say, my portable MiniDisc recorders..  That amp looks to fix that.  However if you want to be cool you'll have to use a tube-style amplifier.  :)

Actually I haven't gotten any headaches from the VB yet.  I take a 2 minute break when the system auto-pauses, and that's been enough so far.  I played Mario Tennis for several hours last night.  It's quite imersive if you play in complete darkness on your back.  Red Alarm is quite good, I also really like Innsomouth no Yakata.  Japan only FPS based on the H.P. Lovecraft story. It's very simple, but it's really fast and smooth as monsters bust out of walls in 3D.  Good stuff.  :D

Auto-pause depends on the game.  Some do it by time (every 15 minutes or so).  Other games do it at set points.  Vertical Force auto-pauses between every stage.  You can disable the auto-pause feature also.  Yeah Vertical Force is fun, very "soldier-ish" and a one of the best VB games.  It really makes me want to try Blade Eagle on SMS, as they both have the same 2-plane gimmick.  :)

Hey guys,

I finaly got my money so I could pay for my newly used Pace Digital Soldering Station! I believe I can use solder tweezes with this station for easy chip removal as well! This sucker has a range of 350 - 850 degress F!

I almost bought a solder/desolder rework station but man those things jump at the last minute on the auctions...so this was my next best choice!

Picked it up for $40  :wink:

the pce afterburner was by far the best 8/16bit conversion. it was 1stly beaten by the x32 version years later. so yes, it's very worth. especially if playing it on the GT/LT.

Roy, I emplore you to challenge the high score on Galaga '88 every week from now until the end of time. You have no excuse now.

 :mrgreen: Nice score.



I feel some what at a disadvantage.  My cabinet lacks a turbo adjustment.

I know, I'm just kidding :). From what I hear the Arcade cab has a slightly higher difficulty level, and is a bit different.

There are some differences we noticed, and yes it does seem QUITE difficult, we cannot get past the second stage of levels! 

Overall the graphics/sound are better than the PCE/TG16 version.  Also, in between some stages you see some hand drawn cartoon looking guy that we can't tell what he's saying to you.

Roy, I think you need to add to this thread?

Ok, I'll add a little.  I do like the old school feel of the cabinet vs. Galaga 90 alot better.  The sound and graphics are pretty similar but once again the feel of playing the arcade just can't be beat.  Responsiveness of the Turbopad vs. the arcade joystick is night and day.  Its much easier to move the ship back and forth with the Turbopad whereas the arcade joystick seems sluggish and delayed in comparison.  I think the biggest difference has to do with the monitor vs. a television.  The arcade has a vertical screen which leaves your shots having to go SUPER far to hit your target thus making timing WAY more important than it is on the console.  I really think this is where the difference in difficulty comes in.  On the console the screen is more square, so your shots have less of a distance to go before you hit your target.

There are some differences in the gameplay as oldskool noted.  There is a little alien looking guy that makes some comments which I still can figure out.  Also the Galactic Dancing has some differences in targets and the directions they travel.

The other thing that makes the console easier is the use of the Turbopads turbo switches.  It's much much easier to just sit there and hold the button then having to mash the arcade button 3475893475983 times each game.

This will give you an idea of the differences in difficulty.  So far the highest score anyone has gotten on the arcade game was 149,740.  As I sat down in my first sitting of the console Galaga '90 my score was 232,060.    Almost 100,000 points higher and it was the first sitting of the console vs days and days of playing on the arcade.  Basically the console is easy mode compared to the arcade cabinet.

Yeah, the arcade is definitely much harder than the TG port. I haven't cleared the arcade '88 yet, but I've cleared the TG port many times. Though, the TG port has essentially taken over as my Galaga '88/'90 default choice to play. Probably because it is easier makes me want to play it over the arcade. That doesn't mean the TG port isn't difficult - I'm stressed out playing that game from the moment I "Press Run" to the moment I finally destroy the last boss. It just wasn't designed to eat you quarters. heh I throw on the arcade version once in a while, but playing the TG/PCE port is honestly a much more enjoyable experience. Plus, graphically and in terms of music and soundfx, the TG/PCE port is extremely close to the original. It would have been cool if the developers included an "arcade mode" with a narrower screen, but I say that about every shootie that doesn't have that option.

Today was a good day:

(http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j83/mini_zeon/SN850174.jpg)

Started off by picking up Toejam and Earl: Panic in Funkotron, and No one can Stop Mr. Domino at Electronic Discount Sales in Arlington. Then on the way to the mall to get some new glasses I spotted a store called "Entertainmart" and had to see what it was all about. Turns out they have a HUGE separate partition of the store for selling used games of all ages. Tons of stock, excellent prices, and the employees were very knowledgeable and friendly. I was amazed as this is typically a rarity in used game stores nowadays.

Anyways, they had quite a few boxed snes and nes games, I picked up Burai Fighter, Power Blade, Master Chu and the Drunkard Hu, Silent Assualt, Raid 2020, and Metal Fighter for $5 each, mainly ones I didn't already own, though I was tempted by a boxed Zanac. As I walked up to the counter, I noticed a lot more nes boxes behind the counter. It turns out they were all boxes for games they did not have. I then asked if they would sell them separately, and the guy said I could just have them for free. I was amazed, as most stores and employees would sooner throw away stuff like that than give it away. So I scored the rest of those nes (and the Perfect Dark box) for free.

Almost all of them have sleeves in em, many have photocopied manuals, some have originals, and a lot have extras, posters, Styrofoam inserts, etc. All of the inserts are crisp and mint, looks like they have never been opened/unfolded. Unfortunately they are all former rentals from a place called The Pharaoh Shop in Arab, Alabama according to many of the stickers on em and the carts, so they are far from mint. Most have pretty bad sun fading, and you wouldn't believe all of the stickers I already pulled off prior to that picture. Apparently that store was nuts for sticking 50 stickers on every game. Still they are in pretty good shape considering they were once rentals, in fact the labels on the carts have zero dings or scratches. Kinda like no one ever rented them.

Finally after that, while my mom and grandma were at Petco, I checked out the Movie Trading Company next door. Best selection on games of any Movie Trading Company I have ever been to. I picked up Kung-Fu Master, Airlock, and M.A.D. for the 2600 there for $2 a piece, and Rocket Knight Adventures for $3. They had a buy three get one free deal going on with the games (and my god did they have a crap TON of different 2600, genny, and n64 games so I can see why they would have such a deal) so I got one of the 2600 games for free.

All in all a good day indeed.

Fu'un Kabuki Den, presumably another variation of the instruction manual cover.

Mine doesn't look like that.

Just made my first Risingstuff.com purchase, which is Famicom Rockman 5. All of a sudden I'm thinking it's worth it to get loose Famicom Rockman cartridges straight from Japan.

eBay is damn ridiculous with those prices when they're off japanese soil.

GBA ($8) and GBC ($2.50) games both got here with semi-crushed boxs, I managed to pop the tops ups and make look better, but the back right corner of Mario Tennis is Crushed....I believe the P.O. is due to blame on these cause the guy double bubblewrapped and shipped in double sized box, although the shipping box still managed to get crushed.....

and Last but not least the Brand New Hop-M3 ($25 shipped) Laser for Bludgeons Duo! Courtisy of willis on the forums...Thanks Buddy!

The upper-left? It is a doorstop; it prevents the door from damaging the wall.

Tats, however, uses the likes of Appare! Gateball for the same purpose.

Two brand new 6-foot HDMI cables for 1 cent each from Amazon

I got a cable as well... the shipping is where they made their money. Still, $3 ain't bad. :)

Finally got my long awaited Nintendo 64 package today! Snagged it for $36, guy shipped parcel so it took freaking forever to get here...

Supposed to be complete in box, which it is, but there is no paperwork or plastic bagging that the system may or may not have come in, so technically I wouldnt consider it completely complete in box....lol

Ill post a picture up later, overall condition seems good, I still have not plugged it in yet to test, I noticed it never had the memory expansion pak put in it, and I dont have one so I'll be needing one of those.

I actually like the soundtrack to Avenger. Most folks probably wouldn't get excited about it, and not all the tracks amazing, but Avenger has the Telenet / Laser Soft "house band" sound that I dig. I love it. Some of the tracks are pure sweetness.

As for the game itself... well, it's OK; the fact that you can shoot diagonally when moving is a bit of a novelty.

I didnt think the 60 gig would read PS2? Only the 40 gig and under, the models that had the front left portion lift up to reveal the extra USB and Flash card ports.

I got this in the mail the other day and have not posted a pic yet, but here it is! If it were sealed I would crap my pants, but this is what I consider the Pinnacle of my NES games collection! This was my favorite game to play as a kid and I'd say atleast once a year I have beaten it through emulation, after it left my hands long ago.

I finally got the best Minty Complete in Box one I think I have ever seen, especially being that I went through buying and returning three of them before I got this one!

Also I was very iminant to the ebay seller (pokdragonsden) to pack this in a box and explained to him the 3 past failed attempts for me to get it in minty shape. When I got the game I laughed my ass off, it was under a pount of bubblewrap in a box that could fit an original XBOX!  :lol: :lol: Needless to say he filled my request. I picked this gem up from him at $32 shipped.

Now for the masterpeice!

People dog Super Air Zonk all the time, but I personally feel that it is better than HuCard Air Zonk.  Much better, in fact.  Firstly, I find it more playable.  It is a bit slower, but oh well, it's not as spastic. I don't care too much for the sounds in Air Zonk (especially the drums) and like the CD music a bit better.

The HE stick was about $45 thru RisingStuff. I like the size of it, actually thought it would be bigger than it is based on pics.  I never saw one on eBay, but the bigger Hori stick (six-button if I remember correctly) would have been nearly $100 with shipping thru eBay.

Only a handful, surprisingly.

Apparently, System Cards are legal tender in some Japanese provinces (usually the more rural areas). Local residents often purchase postage, tea, cane sugar and newspapers, etc. with them.

In the last few days I have been researching nothing but E-Ciagrettes. I am a pretty heavy smoker and have been for about 5 years. I smoke a pack to pack and a half a day. Although the FDA is trying to kill the E-Cig, I still bought one. For the price of two cartons (about $100) I got myself a very nice starter kit with the itellicig EVOlution E-Cig @ innovapor.com. I cant wait to get it in and put down those pricey, overly addictive "analogs" as the vaping world calls them.

I got a 10% discount and came out spending $95 for the kit, heres to quiting "analogs" and being healthier...

Pretty good so far!  One puzzle had a policeman, a chef, a fireman and a doctor.  I was asked to draw two things that would be used by two of those characters with their hands to reveal the star.  I typed "pan" for the chef and he was happy.  Then I typed "gun" for the police officer.  I was going to  give the gun to him, but I accidentally shot the policeman and the chef!  True story!  I had to redo that scene.

I know!  If you write "PC Engine", it just gives you a regular car engine.  I guess they know that if you put a PC Engine in a car's engine compartment, the car would be ripped to shreds due to the excessive horsepower and torque.

Y'know despite all the things that were taken out for the PCE port of Shinobi, what is it about it that still makes a cool thing to have in your collection? That's a mystery since the lack of stuff in ports usually turn us off.

What was taken out besides the bonus stage where you get to control a hand that throws shurikens at ninjas?

Quite a bit.

> It's missing a mission. if it were the arcade game, it'd skip from Mission 1 to Mission 3.

> No Shuriken to bullet upgrades

> No close range kick/punch/katana attacks, as a result of that, guarding enemies can make you look like a jackass

ASMIK was so awesome.  They totally utilized the power of the PC Engine for their rendition of Shinobi.  :roll:  Only the best programmers work at ASMIK.  Mission 2 was not in the PCE because Mission 2 is too good for the PCE.  If this were a Nintendo game, Nintendo would say "Gamers do not want Mission 2".

Also, you had damn well better think of me when that title screen shows up. ;)
Title: Re: teh "what did you buy today"-thread
Post by: Ninja Spirit on September 24, 2009, 03:25:35 PM
BTW what is up with those Mandara statues???
Seems like Asmik increased their speed and on the other hand taking forever to kill

what really pisses me off though is that the gap between the statues and the electric force field isn't as wide as it was on the arcade, for that, the statues seemingly got the upper hand from the start.
Title: Re: teh "what did you buy today"-thread
Post by: hoobs88 on September 24, 2009, 05:22:55 PM
I thought Mandara was the boss from Mission 2 in the arcade...although I distinctly remember there being 5 Missions and I can only recall 4 bosses from my most recent PC Engine playing experience.

De-labelling those PCE cases was a mofo. Not only is there an extra sticker on the back, but the edge labels were way more of a hassle than the TG16 cases are. Thankfully I have Goo-Gone.

And I actually felt a bit guilty doing it for some reason.

God dammit, now the guy I bought that Game Boy Micro from is saying he can't send it to me, because PayPal says my address is unverified, and I can't get it verified, because my mom will get pissed. AGH! FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!

Post by: MotoRoaderMike on October 02, 2009, 09:57:25 AM
Well, nvm, I found another one. Anyway, in addition to the Game Boy Micro, I also bought:

Contra:The Alien Wars for Game Boy
Mortal Kombat I & II (2 games in 1 cart) for Game Boy (this is an official release, not a pirate!)
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (japanese version) for Game Boy
Nemesis (japanese version) for Game Boy (why is it called Nemesis instead of Gradius, which is what it is?)
Space Invaders for PlayStation One
Detana TwinBee and Blades of Steel for the Wii Virtual Console
And the remastered versions of Past Masters, The White Album and Abbey Road.

Well being my birthday, and having nothing to do.  I made a trip to Osaka and visited my favorite store.  And I find this crazy Marty bundle!
Boxed Marty with controller and manuals.  Boxed Marty Mouse, "Exciting CD" (2 cd demo disk), and a special 2in1 hentai game release.  This whole bundle for only 3,000yen!!!!!!  The catch? The console doesn't work.  It boots fine, but it won't read the CDs nor floppies.  The CD drive spins up fine, but won't boot anything.  The whole bundle was sold as "junk", I knew it was busted.  Now if only I could fix this beauty...

anyway, if you want to get rid of it in future, i would be your first customer :)

Get your hopes way high for Space Harrier 2.  There is no way that game can disappoint.  You'll think someone put a PS3 graphics chip in your Genesis.  :)

All things considered, it is a decent game to have in the collection and is enjoyable.

All mint complete.  I hear that Pirates Gold can be worth more than that alone.  This copy came with color instruction manual (a rarity on the Genesis), map and warranty/customer service registration card.  Still need the 32X Mortal Kombat 2.

Add to my Toys R Us B2G1F of Halo ODST, Wii Sports Resort, and Beatles Rock Band...   I'm more new school than I've been in a long time.

All that for 1/2 the price of the Dynastic Hero that sold today on ebay :)

They are pretty cool.  I got one last year and use it for ROM games I'll never own, like MC.  One day, if I can find one for like $400, but until that day, the flash cart is my MC.

Excellent, thanks for the link. My wife just got a new desktop with 32-bit 7. Otherwise, I have an old laptop with XP, but it is barely breathing at this point.

True. Once you die like 8 times on one level, it gives you the option to watch Luigi play through the level. You can then 'jump in' and take over to finish the level. It won't help you find hidden coins but it'll help you get past a tricky part.

But really, where's the fun in that? IMO if you don't die 15 times on at least a few levels, you're not really playing.

For my sister and her husband - Blu-Ray player, netflix subscription, HDMI cable, and 4GB flash drive

For my niece - Barbie Jeep Power Wheels.  It says it can hold 130lbs, I'm 210lbs...  you think I should risk getting in to make up for never having one in my youth?

I ran out of cash money just as Amazon posted Scribblenauts for $15...  and it made me sad.

I'm def in the 99%. Although I didn't mind the addition of the run button and easier combos, it was mk2 that I used to play most at the arcades.

Although this is in a Gauntlet cabinet, with a 19inch screen the price was too good to pass up.

Speaking of that, I'd like to replace the monitor with a 25inch one. Anybody have experience in swapping arcade monitors? Tips?

I don't know if many folks will like the "rabbit punch" maneuver (you'll have to spend more time with the game), but I think it is a decent game. It has a quirkiness that intrigues me and makes me want to keep playing it (I haven't beaten it yet, though I think I've gotten pretty close).

Picked up a N64, 2 controllers, and 23 games for $35 on Craigslist.

I had been wanting to play Killer Instinct Gold since the rumors of KI3 for Project Natal have surfaced.  Highlights of the games are Zelda Ocarina of Time, Goldeneye, Daikatana, Duke Nukem, Nightmare Creatures, and Gauntlet Legends.  Only 5 sports games, so note a bad haul.

Unfortunately, the stuff came from a smokey household.  Smoking and game collecting do not go together.

Now I just need to get 2 more controllers and Mario Party.

Oh well, maybe I can just swap the outer casing with my actual Blaster Pad so I can have a white one to match my Duo-RX.

The intro storyline is a bit lengthy but once you actually get to start playing it is pretty similar to Phantom Hourglass. You get to use the microphone feature quite a bit more with the "Whirlwand" which lets you shoot tornadoes to damage enemies, blow keys down from high platforms, and eliminate poison gas clouds. The microphone is also used in combination with the touchscreen to play the Panflute. The Soundtrack has a lot of cool "tribal" instruments and is great to listen to with headphones on. I played for 4 straight hours when I opened it!

I can't complain given the price. The stick has a little play in it and the buttons don't have that arcade clicky feel. I still like it though.  I just started playing and it's pretty cool.  Not mention it is recognized by vista off the bat and works great with mame.

He's already boxed the Puck Monster and dressed it in shimmering candy-cane wrapping paper, with a note that reads: "Happy Krampus Day, Esteban"

It's headed for New Jersey, jboypacman, where it belongs.

Tangent,  but, why not post here since the Puck Monster sparked some memories?

IMPORTANT QUESTION: By the way, I used to have (1983-1985?) these mechanical handheld games (you wound them up, a game lasted for 30-60 seconds, IIRC, they were matte black plastic, with minimal text/graphics in white/orange, large wind-up and trigger buttons on the lower-front face, the "scenery" and "targets" were on concentric circular plates).

There was: (1) a car-racing game, (2) a "sink the ship" game (torpedo launched from bottom, hit boats at sea level), and a (3) "hit the plane" game (a variation of the last game, but with planes in the stratosphere instead of boats in the sea).

DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY INFO ON THESE?

I tried researching these mechanical games several times over the past 10 years or so... I never found any EXACT matches.

YES! It was the Tomy Pocket Arcade! Specifically this one: Torpedo Terror (http://www.handheldmuseum.com/Tomy/TorpedoTerror.htm).

I spent a LONG time searching through the site, but I was looking for "Sub" instead of "Torpedo"!!!

The "Racing Car" game I remembered was actually Space Dock (http://www.handheldmuseum.com/Tomy/SpaceDock.htm). Ha! So much for my memory. But then I started wondering if it was this: Desert Race (http://www.handheldmuseum.com/Tomy/DesertRace.htm), but I don't remember the graphic of the truck at all.

And the third game I was trying to find wasn't about planes after all, it was Attack in Space (http://www.handheldmuseum.com/Tomy/AttackInSpace.htm).

I can't help but think there were some variations on these products, though I couldn't find anything. I think Tomy swapped planes for Aliens... I just can't find proof!

I spent a long time looking through this great site and was delighted to find the BeeGees Rhythm Machine (http://www.handheldmuseum.com/Mattel/BeeGees.htm)... and I was even more delighted to discover that Kraftwerk used it! I wonder if they had a preference for Latin, Disco or Pop? My brain says "Pop", but my heart says "Latin"...

And, I thought I should mention that I'm drooling over  Tomy's 3D games (http://www.handheldmuseum.com/Tomy/3D.htm). Sherman Attack and Skyfighters have stereo sound. Holy cr*p!

I wish I had an opportunity to play these back in the day. :(

No problem Esteban! I have been doing some reading on these great electronic hand-held/table top games from the 70s/80s for a short while now.

Am wanting to start to collect them starting next year i hope i have a few i just picked up on a trade which is cool but i find myself want more and all sorts lol.

I had a few when i was a kid but those are sadly all but long gone.

Picked up a Turbo Booster Plus boxed.
I'll trade my loose TurboBooster for it.

Only if you throw in a rubber chicken, a pile of fake dog poop and a loose copy of Deep Blue.

I wish you weren't joking because I have all of those items (I'd even throw in a Whoopee Cushion and Itching Powder) and would love to exchange them for a boxed +.

Ohhh my mistake.  I thought you wanted a Turbo Booster Plus but now I see that you're only after a boxed +.  Well here you go my friend, feel free to ship me all previously mentioned items in return.  :twisted:

You don't need to rip it,it's not that rare on dvd.Though i'd recomend watching it sub the dub will make your ears bleed.

A lot of stores were selling bayonetta early (which is pissing off gamestop owners). Also u were able to grab the japan release  because both  j and ntsc  versions are region free. if ur copy is not shipped  but backordered cancel it an run to a shop. Games worth the wait though

What is this world coming to? Real sugar in soda? No high fructose corn syrup?

As you may know, I prefer artificially sweetened soda > corn syrup > refined sugar > raw sugar > dry, shredded coconut.

It's cheaper to manufacture with corn syrup. The blame rests squarely on the Soder Pop industry.

I agree about the logos, though. So wonderful. I wish more companies would go back in their own archives and use commercials, print ads, and billboards from 20, 30, 40 years ago. Advertising usually annoys me, but I find the "old timey" approach less offensive.

I saw some breakfast cereal box designs that had gone "retro"--it was pretty neat.

The last Star Trek film I saw in the theatre was the "Cold War" one (title escapes me at the moment). At the time, I was disappointed, big time. But now, just for a laugh, I think I'd want to see it again. I remember a bunch of very silly scenes, which is amazing, considering I've completely forgotten the contents of other films I've seen around that time.

Nice grab este!!  :clap:  EDIT....Digi rather.....hehe  8-[

But you didn't like the Undiscovered Country (end of Cold War metaphor/mystery)? Wasn't the best TOS movie, but it's usually up there in people's favourites. I recommend watching the "trilogy" first (II, III, and IV). I'm actually craving some Star Trek IV action. I can't remember if Chekov ends up finding those nuuuuuclear wessels.  :-k

Certainly does. What I found interesting is that the 2 'retro versions' included are using NES style sound, and not Master System sound which would have make more sense, it being a Sega game.

BlazBlue takes a lot of time to figure out, but you are right, the game looks incredible.

I just picked up a SF4 mad katz fight stick for PS3 last night.  Also got a SF4 snuggie...  rocket slime adventures for DS.

Lastly I got Phantasm IV DVD, but when I opened the package of the "new" movie, there was an upside down promotional Entourage DVD.  The package had no signs of ever being opened and I am angered and confused! I bought the movie at FYE going out of business sale with no returns too, so I am stuck with this garbage.

Throw in a Me First and the Gimmie Gimmies CD and it was a total of $80, so I shouldn't complain too much.  But I will!
Title: Re: teh "what did you buy today"-thread
Post by: shonenx on January 31, 2010, 08:34:41 AM
FYE will take that back prob. because its not a regular return. A year ago my friend had finally bought his own 360 and he got the promo bundle so it came wit kungfu panda and lego indiana jones . when he went to gamestop he traded in those 2 to get Fable his first real game and it had a bootleg of journey to the center of the earth in it.
Title: Re: teh "what did you buy today"-thread
Post by: TheClash603 on January 31, 2010, 09:58:14 AM
I just called FYE and they said they'd swap the item for one of equal price.  I am 100% sure the guy on the phone thinks I was lying, and if I wasn't the one telling the story, I would think that it was BS too.

Thanks for telling me to give it a try Shonenx!  Now I just need to spend $6.00 in gas to get my $8.00 back!

My latest acquisitions:

(http://www.joeredifer.com/crap/lawnmowerman.jpg)

I already had Bonk's Adventure via the Gate o' Thunder gift set, but I wanted it on TurboChip as well.  I like to play level one of this game often and it is just so much easier to pull out the chip and start it right up than it is to load the disc and then select this game and wait for it to load, etc.  Granted, I get piss-bored by the end of level 2.  I don't even think I've seen the level 2 boss!  I have been up to 2-5 or 2-6 or 2-7, though.  Level 2 never ends?  But level 1 is enough for me to own this game.

Ninja, I just picked up the SFIV fight stick at a FYE going out of business sale for $35 for PS3.  Looks identical in make to yours, just a different picture.  I am definitely liking Zangief with the stick...  but still prefer Bison with the pad.

The stick definitely helps in playing King of Fighters XII too.  Too bad it doesn't help King of Fighters XII from being kinda shitty...

Those HRAP3s are very nice, but eishh on the $150 tag back then. Now you can get them for $80-$100, which is a much nicer price. I just use a Hori EX2 DOA for Xbox 360 and I have no problems with it. It works just as well as my Neo Geo old style controllers. My only minor complaint is the stick is a little looser, but that could be fixed with clickier micro switches. Also, I could add a 8-way plate to it if I wanted to improve it. Still, I pull off my moves with no problems. When i get a PS3, I will definitely get one of the HRAP3 models.

Is there a good place to get PS2 Hori sticks of high quality? I keep finding there aren't any available or they are jacked up to $150-$200.

Nectarsis, tell me more about that Gatchaman shooting game.

Well I finally got it fired up on the psp today, and man oh man.  It's def a budget title lol.  Graphics are passable (especially the "cut scenes"), music is as you'd expect largely from the anime.  Only 4 of the main characters are represented (Ryū Nakanishi/Tiny/Rocky seems to be MIA).  Ken and Joe are pretty much palette swaps, same attacktype, etc.  Juns yo-yo when powered up is actually kind of cool. Jinpei as to be expected is worthless lol.  Control is solid enough, you play  alternating stages...1st stage walking, next stage your characters vehicle stage.  Main flaw I saw is the game challenge is set on kindergarten. Quickly became boring due to the lack of ANY challenge.

Yeah you can get the HRAP3 cheap now i only payed $89.00+ last year for it from a seller on ebay.I guess people are ignoreing the HARP3 for the madcatz SFIV joystick so lol!As for a getting a HRAP2 for the ps2 dunno you're best bet is just to get a used (hori TEKKEN 5 joystick) usely there cheap used.Plus the hori tekken 5 joystick can be modded,just replace it's buttons&stick and then your set.

Not realy i don't have envy since ninjaspirit has a 360 it's his choice.I was just saying becuase (MvsC2 and SFIV) are on the PS3 as well and i wouldn't mind playing a match with him if he had a PS3.That's all and nothing more to it.

Sony Trinitron 29'' HD-CRT KV-29DX550.  Great TV, takes pure RGB through the AV-Multi, also has dual D4 terminals (750p or 1125i in letterbox 16:9 mode), 3x S-Vid, 4x Composite.  Even has Composite Output jacks which makes recording games a breeze. :)

With 15khz you lose the scanlines, but it still looks quite nice with anything that outputs in RGB.  The Famicom looks like crap on it, but I don't play it on this this TV anyway.  The SD only versions of this TV do 15khz RGB natively though, but then you lose the HD abilities.  It's a trade off either way sadly, and I needed something for the 360...

The price was halfed so i paid 12.00 I also picked up Castle of Shikigami 2 for $4.99 GREAT top down shooter, LOVE it !! And Neo Geo Battle Coliseum was another steal @ $4.99. (side note my friend grabed OKAGE for 4.00 bucks super steal!!)

Thanks deadite. Great pickup by the way. Here's mine. Double Dragon II for PCE-SCD. I used to play this on nintendo constantly.

Nice! It's a great port, but the music's gotta go. It's annoying hearing a rape victim in stage 1 BGM

Aha! Yet one more chance to recycle an old thread:

In defense of Double Dragon II's Red Book Soundtrack

Yes, I even typed out the lyrics for "Hot Wild", one of my favorite tracks of all time, across all systems, across all eras, across all cosmos*...

NOTE: For the record, I'll allow Ninja Spirit's critique of stage 1's music from Double Dragon II.

* What is the plural for "cosmos"? I was too lazy to look it up.

I just picked up Conker's Bad Fur Day for the N64 yesterday because I never played it and was curious if it lived up to the hype.

Three hours of play and I can say the game has me laughing quite a bit, and there is an impressive amount of cinema for a N64 game.  Camera sucks, but that pretty much is the case for all games of that time.

I'll wait for the next Lunar remake as it will be even better and have an extra cutscene.

This one comes with epic bromide cards, and the general map-presentation is "newer" but still awesome.


The only downside is losing some of the voice actors.  Nall sounds like a tool now.   Its the same voice actor as Shinji in Evangelion.

yes its always worth it to get little cards with chicks on them.

and a soundtrack.

Picked up a bigger dirt bike for myself.  It's the middle one in the pics and is a Honda CRF 450R.  I gave my old bike the Honda CRF 230 to my 13 yr old son and that son gave his Honda CRF 80 to my youngest son.  Now I just have to sell off my youngest sons old bike.  Anyway Oldskool, my sons and myself went out riding this morning.  It was pretty scary as my new bikes fast as hell.  I was riding my new bike on the dirt road that paralells the freeway and was actually passing the cars on the freeway. Good times!

Edit:   I just was looking up how fast this bike is capable of going when it's completely stock.  From what I saw people say it tops out at around 90 mph..   :twisted: :twisted:

But, well...

I can't lie to myself anymore. The LT is damn fine.

Post by: TheClash603 on March 28, 2010, 05:52:19 AM
How many LTs were produced and what was the original price?  Since you just picked this one up for $600 I think and that was a steal, I assume it was very rare and expensive even when they first came out.

Is it heavy? Or could you legitimately sit on a subway playing it? How's the battery life?

I can't tell you how much they originally were or what the production numbers were.  I picked it up for $550 + shipping ($50 from japan).

As far as the weight it is 1 lb 13.5 oz (with a game in).  You could only sit on a subway and play it if there was a power source as it doesn't take batteries, you need an AC for it.  So it truely isn't portable unless there is some type of battery pack I'm unaware of.

What an odd machine.  I always thought it was like the Gameboy Advance SP revision of the Turbo Express.  Why make something that is the shape and size of a portable, but not make it portable?

However, from a collecting standpoint, definitely a really cool find!

I've cleared Blazing Lazers, Super Star Soldier, and Final Soldier. Of the three, Final Soldier was by far the easiest for me. Overall, Final Soldier feels less polished. I was disappointed with the changes made to the flame weapon from SSS, and the graphics were a disappointment compared to SSS.

Final Soldier is often frowned upon when compared to the "series" of vertical shoot-em-ups it is part of... but I thought Final Soldier was OK.

If I were introducing PCE shoot-em-ups to someone, though, I'd throw Soldier Blade at 'em. Final Soldier doesn't have enough MAGIC to make someone scream "I LOVE YOU".

That said, as a shoot-em-up fan, there is a place in heart for Final Soldier. :)

Golden Axe for the Neo Geo OMFG, best version. :lol:

I always thought the XBLA version was the Genesis game, but turned out to be the arcade. Some of BG graphics look better on the Genesis, but the sound is much better for the arcade. I also like the ending for the arcade as well.

They even got a friggin punch buggy named Bumble bee for gods sake.  Anyhow, Of course I had to make the robot transformation sounds and do the soundwave voice, but then I realized.......

Neo Geo 6 slot MVS Craigslist find. 

So Oldskool and I go to see this bad boy after finding it on Craigslist.  We walk in and the cabinet looks great but the monitor looks like shit.  We play with it a little bit to see if we can get it cleaned up but there is a big line though the top of the screen that we cant get fixed.  With the cost of a monitor I was pretty close to saying I didn't want it.  So I tell the guy I would buy it for the $375 he was asking but with the monitor issue it would cost me to much to fix it and I might as well just buy another Neo Geo.  He says throw him an offer.  I tellem to give me a idea where to start.  He says, $300, no less.  I pay the man and we are on our way.  We get it home, out of my truck and take apart my Power Stone (it doesn't fit out the door in one piece) arcade to make room for the Neo Geo.  We get the Power Stone outside and the Neo Geo on the dolly and try to take it up the first step by my front door.  Ever seen one of those logging shows where they cut the tree and it falls the wrong way and they run for their lives?  Well, that's what happened, TIMBER!  It falls over on it's right side and slams on the ground shattering the glass covering the monitor.  What's Oldskool do?  He laughs while I just stand there in shock.  I was just glad neither of us got hurt by the falling beast.  We pick it back up and plug it in to see if it even works anymore.  It works perfect (aside from the monitor issue mentioned before).

We get it in the house and set up.  Not liking the way the monitor looked, we compared the monitor to the monitor in the Power Stone arcade I was now going to be getting rid of.  Model numbers were an exact match!  Olskool and I both get excited to see if we can do a monitor swap even though neither of us had messed with a monitor replacement before.  We swap the monitors and bingo, now its great. 

Games it came with:
Baseball Stars Professional
Top Players Golf
Fatal Fury
World Heros 2
Nightmare in the Dark


In the end a little extra scratching on the side and the front glass gone.  Here it is.

Nothings wrong. I gave one to a friend as a gift with a system to get him started. I actually kinda missed it.

I know you didn't bro, it was truely funny.  What made it funnier was the fact that everything still worked.  Now if it totally fell apart and it was basically trash it wouldn't have been so funny.

Post by: TheOldMan on April 15, 2010, 01:27:06 PM
Yeah, I used to help out at an arcade. If we dropped something and it didn't work, it was cause one of the connections popped loose. Don't think I've ever seen one that just 'quit' when it got dropped (and yeah, we dropped a few...or more)
FYI Roy most of those monitors are actually standard hardware (there's were only about 6 different models the I saw); very rarely does the tube itself go bad. It's usually the driver board, which is a lot cheaper to replace. You can contact the mfg to see about replacement boards. Some of them will even do reasonably-priced repairs.
But then, you probably know that already :-)

Well, I bought it just for the box.  Now I have an extra one thats in BEAUTIFUL condition minus the box.  It's in a Sparky stickered case.  The case is a pce Hu card case so it doesnt have that clear plastic clip..  Interested in it?

I might be if it came with instructions.  I could print up a spine label for it if I have a HuCard case.

WTF is a "Sparky stickered case"?  Does it have stickers of rainbows and happy faces on it or something?

This is it.  A Sparky stickered case is a case made with Sparky's stickers.  You know, Sparky, the guy thats been selling badass replica stickers for Turbo games here for like the last year or so?  The only bad thing about it is the fact that the case is a PCE case without that clear plastic clip to hold the Hu card in.

My most recent acquisitions:

(http://www.joeredifer.com/crap/fridge.jpg)

Apollo 13 - Blu-ray - "Houston We Have A Problem Edition"  Includes a special BD-Live game where you and up to 7 other online players try to create as many problems as possible for the entire city of Houston.

Toy Story - Blu-Ray - Also includes a regular DVD version in case I go over to a poor person's house.

Toy Story 2 - Blu-ray - Also includes a regular DVD version so I can throw it away and add to the landfill... which I did specifically on Earth Day.

iPod Touch - Finally got another iPod.  The iPod Mini was ass.  This, however, is much nicer.  It's like an iPhone without all of that phone bullshit.  Who talks to people any more, really?

Somer Assault - TurboGrafx-16 (US version of the PC Engine for all you Japanophles) - Got this from some guy named Roy.  I opened the package and immediately got a double dose of lung cancer.  Thanks, Roy!  Just kidding, the game is fine and I am really happy to have a "Sparky case" with it.  I want more Sparky cases as he makes better labels than I do.

Lots of groceries - From the local Kroger affiliate.  Running low, will purchase more on Sunday.

Not shown:
After Burner Climax - Playstation 3 - $10 Downloadable game.  It has a climax bar that replenishes as you play and when it fills up, you climax.  Also, you shoot down foreigners and who doesn't like doing that?

There's a guy on the Neo Geo forums, along with other forums and he has a youtube video showing what awesome mods he does to the Nomad. He basically puts in a LCD that has 5x better picture quality, uses less power and he also does a cell battery mod to the battery pack that makes the life 2-3x longer. Just look up Sega Nomad mod on Youtube and the Neo Geo forums.

I'm gonna try to fix the CD-Drive... maybe I can get lucky twice in a row with these units by lubing up the gears  :D

Cost me $95 shipped, but even if it doesn't work, the TG-16 unit is region modded so it's not too bad...

I'd buy that... if I hadn't already bought Street Fighter 4.  No way am I going to buy the same game on the same generation of platforms with new characters, some new moves and a few tweaks unless I can get it for crazy cheap.  Or unless it is for older platforms and I am a collector.  :)

Nope.  Capcom already sold me the INCOMPLETE Street Fighter 4 which was a rushed product... at least that's the message that the existence of Super Street Fighter 4 sends out.  I'm not so stupid as to buy the same game again unless it is crazy cheap.

I could have sold you mine but I have a giant holes carved in it for direct composite, stereo and s-video out.  Plus it has a BLUE LED (OMG OMG!)

Just kidding.  Mine has an internal RGB bypass, but no external mods (no lame blue LED, either)... and it is not for sale!!!!  But that box you are getting makes me very jealous.  I wish I had the box and everything all nice like that.  It reminds me of the US Sega Master System box with the plastic handle and everything.  Even the styrofoam looks similar.

Post by: Joe Redifer on May 09, 2010, 05:41:18 PM
That whole serial number thing with the Neo Geo AES units seems kind of suspect to me.  The point is that ALL Neo Geo AES systems have horrible video quality.  Some might be a bit better than others, sure, but they are all bad... especially for such a high dollar system!  Even RGB out looked muddy and washed out.  That's why I had an RGB bypass done.  Now my RGB looks great when converted into component video.  No clue how composite looks.

Title: Re: teh "what did you buy today"-thread
Post by: JapanTokei on May 11, 2010, 02:15:35 PM
Well, this version is much more rare.

PalSoft went bankrupt and PC Engine Fan made offers to its fellow subscribers to order this game through them.

So in terms of distribution, this is much tougher to get.  The ones in the stores you see at Japan are pretty much all for the first pressings, i.e. the PalSoft ones.

This version has a different instruction book page (last page), and the hucard holder is the SF2/SystemCard style versus your normal Hucard case style.

Been searching for this one forever so I am psyched to finally snag it  :mrgreen:    The PAlsoft versions are widely available for $100-$150 but I've yet to seen this version come up.

Post by: JapanTokei on May 11, 2010, 05:56:08 PM
You got a very nice deal Roy !  Hats off to you :)

A quick look at Ebay turned up only 2 PCE versions, one at $149 and one at $169, both PalSoft first print versions..

I spent ~12000 yen, or about $130 bucks USD for this PCE Fan version.
Regular versions go for 10000 - 15000 yen in Retail stores at Tokyo.

You think Magical Chase is rare?  look at what I got!  Earnest Evans!  I spent $357 on this and I feel I got a bargain!

The $10 is the super-common version.  The rare version is far more rare.  In fact it is so rare that the eBay sale would say "l@@k r@r3!" in the title.

Grabbed the Joystick as faulty, just needed the rubber membranes for A and B replaced, used an old broken SMS's rubber thingys to fix it, nice stick.

Dunno why I'm obsessed with Taiko no Tatsujin but it's such a great series, shame it's a pain to get a hold of any of them considering they didn't come out in Europe.

(http://img195.imageshack.us/img195/3245/p1649150510.jpg)

Finally found a cheap copy of Ys 1&2, was a pain to get into the UK though :( Had to get it shipped to a friend in the US, he then shipped it to me, silly Amazon.com marketplace.... have to do the same for half.com too

Haha I finally got a hold of an arcade card, 3 years it took until I finally bought one but yeah, the wrestling game is hmmm ok I guess I'm not connoisseur on the genre so I don't know, got Fatal Fury 2 and special coming in the post, should be good :D

Dunno why it's taken me so long to get Dungeon Explorer too, it's really a great game

305, a.k.a. - not enough to warrant paying 10k more than a WRX (new prices); Subaru should've upped the STI's game when they last reworked the WRX.  It's a great car to be sure, but it's not a 40% better car.

Queen size bed and frame, sheets, etc.

I also exchanged my Saving Private Ryan blu-ray for the Paramount-reissued one with the Yellow UPC and blue main disc.  The original white UPC release had slightly out-of-sync audio starting around chapter 15.

I betcha the Sega PAC won't work in the NEC LD player.  It probably shorts it out so it no longer works in any player, along with any cartridge and controllers you happen to have plugged in.

Anyway, I picked these up:

The NEC Laseractive is Japan only, if I am correct?  There are no special pacs for the NEC version, it uses the same as the Pioneer CLD A100.

The pacs are interchangeable between the US and Japanese systems.

The Clash already answered before me above. The NEC version is identical to the Pioneer version except for the logo. The US and Japanese PAC modules are interchangeable. I personally keep the Sega PAC module in the Pioneer Laseractive System and the Turbo Grafx PAC in the NEC Laseractive System (like to keep the NEC line intact).

I am psyched to have snagged this today - the stimulus pkg cost 16500 yen... plus shipping/bs fees will prob land me around 17500 yen,   or around $195 bucks...  This is one tough cookie though  8)

Have not decided if I will end up trade this for other things I want for my collection or just tuck this away in my personal forever collection....  :-k
I know Tats was also looking for this.  Anyone know the estimated print run?  I think besides PowerLeague Gold All-Stars, this was the rarest Taikenban non-for sale trial versions, right?

wow .... i would have never imagined to have something Tats haven't already got!!!  (besides the Pro Yakyu, but I don't count that one.. lol )

Tats - I consider myself a real lucky dog to have gotten this one.  Before I went to my office yesterday, I decided to take a quick look on Yahoo auctions JP -> lo and behold this gem was listed with 10hours to go.  I tracked it through last night and made sure I got it.  I consider this the best grab I've made from Yahoo.. even at the $190 price tag..  Normally the site is a ripoff as someone else already pointed out, plus the system is a pain to use.

Roy -
"Tai Ken Ban" means in Japanese Non-For Sale Version.  Only a few taikenbans titles were made, and are all rare and collectibles.  They were mostly used for demos / marketing purposes at conventions/shows, etc, and some were given away as part of magazines.  Note these are not the special "prize winning giveaways items", i.e. the Powerleague Gold.. Below are some that comes to mind. 

* Bomberman 93 (hucard)
* Bomberman 94 (superCD)
* Gunhed/Blazing Laser (hucard)
* Superstar Soldier (hucard)
* Emerald Dragon (superCD)
* Seiya Monogatari (superCD)
* DenDen no Den (super CD, this one is very common)
* PC Genjin 3 / Bonk3
* Legend of Xanadu (superCD)

Tats - I'm not sure if Bomberman User Battle qualifies as a Taikenban .. does it? 

Anyway, does anyone know the estimated print run of these ?   I've seen all of these pop up for sale occasionally (with relatively high prices), except the PC Genjin3 which I've never seen before snagging it yesterday..

@tokei, BM user battle is a hibaihin "not for sale" but no taikenban "trial soft". sure a taikenban is automatically a hibaihin as well :)

and sorry to correct your post a little bit with your statement above ;)

BM user battle is a 1000 pcs. print:

Thanks for the corrections Tats - that's why you're the expert!

I found info on the print runs for all the Taikenbans/Promo softs.  It is Nekofan's site.
I used Google translation,  here are the results.  Looks like PC Genjin 3 production run is 1,000.

I bought the latest issue of GAMEFAN MAGAZINE.  I am too lazy to take a picture.  GameFan was the magazine that called out the 3DO version of Gex for its pathetic 30fps scrolling and praised the PS and Saturn versions for their silky-smooth 60fps scrolling.  That tradition carries on, only with GIANT-ass pages... actually probably TOO big.  Also, it comes with a section called Movie Fan which is pretty lame.  I buy a lot of movies, but I sure as hell don't want to read about them like I do with video games.

the saturn game is "Crows" its a manga and ova anime from japan the book series is still running now its called "Worst" its the game is done in a SD style art and plays like river city ransom or final fight its really funn and RARE as hell people want 160 to 200 for it.
I got it for 120 i think.

the Treasure box is Hokuto no ken also known as Fist if the Northstar and yes there was a genisis port of one hokuto game that was grossly changed and called Last Battle in USA. I waited 2yrs for that box and game ...both are amazing

Record of Agrest war is great i had the mouse pad out for a couple days on a self then my wife saw it and made fun o me so its all back in the box except the game.

Played the first two levels a few hours ago. Took me forever to figure out that I had to kick above a stump to get a platform to appear.  :lol:

Controls are a little slippery, but that seems intentional. I love kicking the sh*t (literally) out of my partner. That just rules!

Yes gotta kick above the stump, chump!

Make note of your buddy's advice... some of it is totally key in a few spots where you might otherwise get stuck!

There's a hint very early on where your buddy will tell you to "try kicking above the stump, chump!" Try to find all the secret rooms for more hints!

And btw, the characters are a bit different, like Mario and Luigi. JJ has tighter controls, but Jeff jumps a bit higher (or was it faster..?)

I've only got one greenie: Castlevania Symphony of the Night. I never ever ever by greatest hits games for any system, but at the same time I can't bring myself to get rid of this one!

Symphony of the Night is one game that transends its package IMO.

My new Turbo Hu card collection came in the mail today.  It looked a hell of a lot worse but I used the old Sparky stickered cases I had left over from my boxed collection to spruce it up a bit...  I still need another set of Sparky stickers to finish up the rest of the ugly ones with the white labels.

Great photo Roy - love the cigarette lighter.  So I take it you're going to smoke the Magical Chase manual first.  I prefer smoking Soldier Blade because Magical Chase tastes like menthol to me.

Why would you want two complete sets?  One open set and one sealed set makes a modicum of sense, but two open sets is just plain dumb.
Title: Re: teh "what did you buy today"-thread
Post by: RoyVegas on June 03, 2010, 06:21:50 AM
The intention when I bought them was actually to resell them and keep the Magical Chase but break even on cash.  Then when I got them, I reconsidered.
Title: Re: teh "what did you buy today"-thread
Post by: oldskool on June 03, 2010, 06:26:18 AM
It makes some sense really.  Keep the boxed set put away with the games inside.  Keep the new set to use as the ones to play.  That way you are not in and out of your boxes all of the time to play a game.

Title: Re: teh "what did you buy today"-thread
Post by: Necromancer on June 03, 2010, 06:37:38 AM
It doesn't make any sense to me; just leave them out of the box.
Title: Re: teh "what did you buy today"-thread
Post by: oldskool on June 03, 2010, 07:33:42 AM
Yeah I suppose you could do that.  But think of it this way, the extra set could be used as backups.  They way the boxed ones are not getting all scratched up, used, and abused.

I dunno, I'm just trying to come up with reasons to justify an extra collection..   :-"

There's only one reason to have two complete sets: because you want to have two complete sets.  Any other rationalization is just bull.

$2 grand for a whole hu-card collection is pretty fair.  You could offer me a reasonable price on Chase HQ's manual because it is my birthday?

Question is, if another such collection appears, do you buy it Roy?  It seems we may have a second guy throwing off the MC supply and demand (if the original guy rumors are true).
Title: Re: teh "what did you buy today"-thread
Post by: RoyVegas on June 03, 2010, 11:40:36 AM
I actually paid $1800 as when the MC got here the manual was pretty crumpled up and the staples had been moved and restapled.  I got a $200 refund for that..

I have no idea what I'll do in the future Clash.

All together except the snes carts was $38 and all working fine,a few bolts missing on the twin stick case but i can find a replacement when i go to menards.

That dreamcast stick is a oddity. used for flight sims but it has programmable buttons so i think i can use it for fighters.

Here's my new addition.  Holy hell when it arrived it was horribly dirty.  Took literally two hours to clean it up.  It had a horrible black film all over the whole thing and the orange piping around the edges was the worst. The cards were disgusting also.  It cleaned up well though.

Damn that is an amazing collection pickup!  How much did that set you back?  $3K ?

Roy - awesome pickup you got there.  That's definately a prize to have.  Bummer it was so dirty - did it look different than the one pictured in his auction (ie - did it look like the seller had more than one?)  That would be pretty crappy - photo the clean one, sell the dirty one.

JapanTokei- I paid Sicboy's asking price plus I paid some extra for the shipping insurance.  My only hesitation was that I have so many duplicates of games, but those will be going on my trade list sometime in the next week or so.  Some of the great stuff like Sapphire (Legit), DracX, and Spriggan will be added to the list.

Nah, it was definately the same one from the auction.  The pics in the auction, now that I look back, show all of it...  If you compare the pic I posted of it to the completed auction you'll see what I mean.  I'm happy though.

Henry - $1400 for that is a steal.  If I were you I would sale some of the systems w/games you don't need as bundles and keep the rare items like Darius Alpha and 1941.  With some effort, I think you can net $1K or so in a few auctions, leaving you with a cost basis of $400 for lots of goodies :)

just curious, does the Draculax / Sapphires / other tough PCE CD games have spine cards?  it's not showing in the pics.

JapanTokei, most of the games have spinecards and registration cards, but I'm keeping those.  I do have duplicates without those items.  I've got to locate my dracx spine/reg - I bought it new and know I kept it - just have to find the items to add to my trade list.  Keeping track of everything is a chore for sure.  I may do as you suggest and sell, but right now I would rather get trades.  I'm still missing a few US games/parts and am looking for some PCE titles too.  Here's the trade list: https://www.pcenginefx.com/forums/index.php?topic=8161.0.  Oh, and I have another BIG order coming in that will really beef up my collection.

A couple of my purchases all came in at once - including the biggie!  I wonder if my bank will take a credit card for the mortgage payment?  Boy, am I screwed if someone puts up a large PCE Shmup collection for sale!

Actually, only a very few duplicates out of this lot (mostly upgrades of what I had), and no, I'm not looking to complete the PCE collection.  :lol:  I will add a few dupes to my trade list once I go through everything!

Oh, and thanks for the interest on the trades.

I got the bulk of the lot (stuff inside the BIG BOX) from Thibaut's sales thread.  He gave me a really good price since I bought so much at once.  Let's just say it was somewhere between the price of US Might and Magic III and US Magical Chase Complete In Box.

Speaking of cool-looking Bombmer tap items - I saw in one of my PCEngine Monthly mags from 93, there are these Bomberman fan club contest things.  I noticed a really cool set of Bomberman figures that looks to function as wire-holders for the PCE controllers.  Basically, each controller had its wires snapped to one of these Bomberman figures - imagine wire organizaters but with cool figures instead!   I really want these but have never seen them.  Will take a picture of the magazine page so you can all see what I am talking about.

You have chosen wisely. I can't imagine playing an AES without RGB or the Component mod to my system. Mine has a red LED since I tend to like the classic look of it. What games do you have for it? Are you going for the more common cheaper games like Magician Lord, Cyberlip, Fatal Fury Special, etc.. or the slightly higher priced games like KOF 96-2000, Real Bout series, Last Blade 1 and 2, etc...?

Some good easy to find and fairly reasonably priced games:

Nam 1975
Magician Lord
Baseball Stars
King of The Monsters
3 Count Bout (Fire Suplex)
Sengouku
Samsho 1 and 2
Fatal Fury 1, 2, and Special
Art of Fighting 1 and 2
World Heroes 1, 2 and 2 Jet

Games I highly recommend and aren't over $200 JP versions mostly:

Last Resort - $100 roughly
Sengouku 2 - $100 "
Baseball Stars 2 - $100 "
KOF 95 to 99 - range from $35-$70 these days
Real Bout Special and Real Bout 2 - $90 and $120
Last Blade 1 and 2 - $160 and $200 (These are a must buy if you own a Neo Geo. I can't imagine not having them. Watch gameplay videos on Youtube or something, you'll see why.)
Samsho 3 and 4 - $60 and $150
Art of fighting 3 - $180

I also have some games like Mark of The Wolves US and Metal Slug 3 JP that I recommend as great games. These are kinda up there on price, but I bought them when they came out.

Weeeeeeell, that game goes for $600. Even though I and many others would love to own Pulstar and Blazing Star as well. It is quite a bit past most peoples spending limit for 1 game. I just can't find myself to spend more than $200 on a game nowadays, and even that seems rough to me. If they were $300-$350 I would maybe consider getting them, but still.

Also, people are making counterfeit copies from MVS conversions with those two games and Metal Slug 1 and 2. It is getting pretty bad really, especially with European sellers. It isn't all too hard to spot the counterfeits, but it makes it a bit more of a pain to find a legit copy. Usually, the sticker, manual and inserts aren't cropped just right and are a little darker. With the Metal Slugs, you really have to look at minor details like the ink print itself and minor differences like the yellow bricks being cut off on the back part of the insert. This crap is making people scared as hell to buy major expensive titles, but at the same time just know what to look for and it will be OK.

I am going to start out buying the cheap carts for now. I already have NAM1975 (which now I think is a little overrated), and I would like to pick up Samurai Showdown 1 & 2, Cyber Lip (lots of fond memories of this one), and a few cheaper shmups. I don't think I will ever spend more than a few hundred dollars for a game, which cuts out a good portion of the AES library. I'll stick to compilations like Metal Slug Anthology and SNK Classics Vol 1 to play the more expensive games. The MVS to AES converter might me a good investment to play some of the cheaper MVS titles.

Heh, well, the PCE might not be Farrari territory, but it sure is getting expensive these days. 
I think as a kid, the PCE/TG-16 was like a Honda.  In the late 90s/early 2000s it started becoming say Lexus in terms of desirability, but now we are definitely in the Audi / Mercedes territory  :)

Tats!  don't tell me that was another Hardoff pull!  if so I am going to sign up for the Tat's school of treasure hunting at Hardoff :) 

nice grab, especially the Body Conquest 2 is not too easy to spot. 
Always been curious about the Duo Comic - how is it?  it's not HuVideo at all right?  are the quality good?  I had opportunities to pick that up a few times but passed many times... do pls let me know !

There's always a consolized MVS board.  Takes up the same or less than an AES..and in the long run a LOT cheaper.

Buying an AES is like buying a 500 Ferarri Enzos (even though only a couple hundred were made), a mansion, a bevy of politicians, Shaq's skull, the hope diamond and a nice piece of chicken.  Buying a consolized MVS is like buying a Daihatsu and finding some old Crest toothpaste in the glovebox.  Or maybe a Pontiac Grand Am with Grey Poupon in the glovebox if you get a really nice one.  PCE these days is like buying one of those motorized tricycles you occasionally see cruising around town.

Let's see, what about a few other consoles?

Genesis - Like buying a Honda Civic with automatic transmission.
SNES - Like buying a Harley Davidson motorcycle because it is slower than most cars, is famous for the noise it makes, fat people love it, lots of people talk about it but in reality there isn't much substance.
Master System - A really cool scooter.

If the conversions were actually sold for cheap, then all would be good.

In a way, they are cheap believe it or not. There is a sac cart which is of course a JP Fatal Fury 3 most of the time, so there goes $30-$60 depending if the cart is loose and/or good condition. Then you have the original MVS cart of said game, which in most cases are $60 carts. Then you have the labor of de-soldering chips from both carts, soldering the chips onto the home cart, then changing the jumper connections. Total cost of a fresh conversion cart with just insert and cart sticker done to it = $180-$200. So you are paying roughly $60-90 for the labor, which is somewhat fair considering all the annoying solder work.

Any already owned and used conversion cart should go for $140, which they sometimes do. I got my Shock Troopers 1 conversion from cgame on Ebay who is from Taiwan about 5 years ago. He does great work and charges $180. I think he stopped doing conversions around 2 years ago. I still think conversions should not be any more than $150 really.

Still, you can go the MVS converter route or just get/build a CMVS. The looks game and console wise are rough as hell, but you still get to play the games on original hardware. If you think paying $400-$500 for a CMVS is too expensive then that is kinda silly. Think about what most games will cost on the AES home cart format in the long run. You still save going with MVS. Using the newest and best converter can be tricky, as some AES home consoles have zooming glitches with games.

I still want a MVS cab, but they don't really have them ANYWHERE in the f*cking south. Man, this area has nothing to offer when it comes to old school gaming. I always like AES collecting and all but only within a somewhat reasonable pace. I pretty much have all the games I want for it, minus Metal Slug 1, 2 X, Shocktroopers 2nd Squad, Pulstar, Blazing Star, and a few bit more. That is just due to ridiculous prices. Other than that I have all the 1 on 1 fighters I want, so I am happy. Eventually I will get a MVS cab if I find one, or just say to hell with it an make a CMVS.

Joe - nice post on the comps.. Genesis = Honda Civic is for sure.. lol. 
I think for PCE stuff, it depend on the system you pickup.  I have tucked away with original box/instructions the Super-CDRom addon, I think that looks damn cool as heck and besides the Duo Monitor and LT, I would say it's the cream of the PCE hardware crop in terms of looks!  Therefore  Sticking with Audi instead of motorized tricycle!!

that has a point :idea:

I would see the PCE more like an aston martin equipped with the bond gadgets. It is old (at least older than others), yet it is quite strong and competitive in almost every section and it also bubbles over with crazy ideas and visual tricks. It is known by people but you won't see it every day.

NEC hoover automatic w/ CD attachment


that guy is a beast.  I say a hoover doesn't do it justice.  this is the Dyson of the PCE system combos  :clap:

the SCD addon is my fav.  great looking unit.  I have one sexily boxed in its original like the image below

OPE - know how you feel.  yea, I started out with a loosely SCD vacumm + white PCE too (bought it from Dragsy from Ebay), then sold it off when I decided I wanted a complete one as part a killer bundle on Ebay that included a new sealed (which now I regret) River City Ransom/Downtown Nekketsu.  It went for very reasonable $410 or something, that was before I knew how to list intl auctions so it only got about 100 page views).

(http://i866.photobucket.com/albums/ab222/japantokei/ebay/set2.jpg)



I then got one bundle with the box but NO interconnect cable and no Manual....  The bundle was a steal though... it cost me only $300ish...
(http://i866.photobucket.com/albums/ab222/japantokei/ebay/set2-1.jpg)

I then spent about 3 months hunting for the missing pieces and was able to piecemeal together a complete boxed set after multiple business trip stops at Japan... :)  not quite a magical chase tale, and the serial doesnt match :(   but I am still a happy camper.  It looks nice sitting next to my other boxed beauty - the Duo-RX which I (over)paid $330 for complete in minty box/instructions a while back.

Sweet stuff Tokei.... This trip, how are you going to lug the 3 cases of Wonder Momo back?

On your advice, I jumped on Jump's Bomberman 94 Taikenbans and I was able to get 60 misc worn hueys and EXTRA sleeves from him fr cheap... YAY... now I don't need the momo's... but damn, that kick is sexy.

Anyhow... Was thinking about cooking up some retr0brite to see if it works on yellowed sleeves... anybody have any idea on that?  (Will post this in another thread.)

Actually,  I think it's a trick question.

I think you are right (Legit on bottom) Tokei, BUT the Obi Strip belongs to the bootleg (On top), right Opethian?

Though I cannot see any difference in your spinecard from mine.

So far here are pictures of some early hauls from my upcoming business trip to Tokyo.  Note these are from the auction pictures, as the actuals are all waiting for me at my hotel.  (I can't wait to "pick them all up", bring them back to my hotel room, and throw them onto my bed... heehhe... bet you never heard that context used on PCE stuff!  ). 

Once I arrive at Tokyo later next week, if I have time I'll do a group picture of the goodies I land.

So those nasty sleeves are from Toshi? Any plans to share your before and after shots with him?

Rag - you're not going to find anything like at SF's Japantown!  (except maybe poor ramen... avoid the sapporo ramen place at all costs.. it's junk!)  I think the best  shop in that whole complex is the little bakery.. lol   the drinking holes are pretty good at night too though.

the best shop in that whole complex is the Popeye's Chicken next to the Safeway!! :-D

Are there any active Japanese magazines that focus exclusively on retro?

I took my wife to Japantown, San Francisco yesterday and checked out the big bookstore... but didn't see any old game stuff anywhere in all of Japantown  :(

No secret underground PCE stockpile.  Honestly, I've just been away from collecting for 10+ years, and now that I have money to get the games I've always wanted, I've been playing catch-up.
I probably could get better pricing hunting for a long time, but I figure I can save enough on shipping with a large lot to help offset some of the cost of buying things one at a time.  This lot brings me very close to my final goal.

http://www.pcedaisakusen.net/2/33/387/show-user.htm

20 games left to complete PCE Shumps (Biggest are Final Soldier Special, Magical Chase original, Steam Hearts, Rayxanber II & III, and Raiden) 

6 games left for the Hudson collection (Raiden & Battle Load Runner are probably the biggest here)

I may try for the Naxat, Namcot, and Masaya collections as well as some random great games and certain hardware.

This lot was from Hit Japan's website see Emerald Rocker's post here:
Quote from: Emerald Rocker on July 16, 2010, 04:32:59 PM
If anyone orders from Hit-Japan, please use my affiliate link.  It will help me pay for more cool games to review!

http://www.gameofjapan.com/index.php?ref=17



Hit Doesn't have everything in stock, so I may not have gotten as good a deal as if he did, but, he was able to get them within a couple weeks and shipped them fast.  About 20% have registration cards, and a very few have spine cards, so if that matters to you, you might need to hunt them one at a time.

This was a huge lot (127 titles - and a lot of biggies) for cheaper than a BIN price for a boxed US Magical Chase - the last US Title I now need.  Damn it!  Why did I sell her?!?!?!

WAY BEYOND DRUNK!  You should know!  How much was that Kiosk?!?!?

And remember... I obey only to PCE/TG16, so I'm not spending $$ on a lot of the other games/systems that you guys collect.

Selling my US Magical Chase caused all this.... LOL

Henry !  I'm playing catchup, here is one back at ya!! 
I think I spent the best $700 USD ever today with my haul.  I ran straight from the Narita airport to the shop.  The Yen exchange rate sucks now, but for 60000 yen ($700 USD), I got the following below. 
Same as Henry, I don't want to pinch pennies and wait forever, so I plunged today:

* BRAND NEW SEALed - Bazzaru  (yes yes yes.. he completes me !!)
* BRAND NEW SEALed - Dead of the Brain
* Go Go Birdie Chance - Mint complete w/registration card
* Don Doko Don!  (been wanting to play this)
* Gunhed Special Huey
* Devil Hunter Yokko (complete) - just wanted to try this one out so I grabbed it

The picture below shows my new sexies on my hotel bed, like I promised I would share with yo uall  =P~

These below cost total aggregate $900.... this means I am pretty much done with my chase.  Only left is Madou Monogatari ACD...

Post by: JapanTokei on July 22, 2010, 12:31:01 AM
So, after work today here at Taiwan, I decided to visit the Taipei Train Station shops as there are a lot of video game stores there and hoped to have fun window shopping and also perhaps pick up some titles for Henrycsc and maybe th Wiggler for Rag's wife. O:). 

The shop had Pop n Magic (no spine), Ranma 2, Ranma 3, and Hawk (all had spine), and loose System card 1.0 and 2.0s.  However, I was extremely dissappointed with the prices this guy was asking for this time.   
He wanted 800 TWD for the Ranmas and 900 for Hawk (new).  (that's $20ish each), and Pop he wanted 1200 or $40 (which is actually fair, that's the going range at JP).  He had a loosey PCE LT that works, and he wanted 18000 TWD ($562).  I didn't ask the system card prices cuz I was pretty irritated by then. :evil: :evil: 

Rag - I did see some Mario dolls, but no Wiggler.  Most of the shait was not Japan licenced and the stores basically carried high-turning/fast selling SKUs here instead of retro bliss.  There were some Luigis, which I thought about picking up, but it was from Australia.
 
The only highlight was I found a junkshop and found a few MegaDrive games for $2 bucks.  yep, $2 bucks. it was actually 50 TWD, or $1.56 USD to be exact.  I'm not sure if the games work, but one of them looks like an unofficial bootleg game of Romance of 3 Kingdoms.  The SuperGhoulnGhosts is just the case, and Castle of Illiusion should be fun to play.  (I've only played the SMS version in my youth). 

still very dissappointed on the bad showing of the store for PCE, but at least I got some additional toys.

Thanks Ceti, I'd been eyeing that case ever since I saw it on Roy's site.  Thanks Roy. 

A couple people had asked about the Sapphire & SFZ boots too, I got them for 90 Euro total shipped (yes they are bootlegs), but not bad considering copies of SFZ are selling on ebay for $150+  (so 1/3 the price with the delfated Euro).  It's pretty cool, though you can tell more time went into the Sapphire (I guess since they had a target they were trying to reach.)

Yeah, I'm pretty happy with the quality of the poster - it's more of a fabric than a paper (not quite a flag though.)  I'm probably going to use this place to make a poster of my tree once it's finished.

This isn't Magical Chase or Super Suck Soldier we're talking about here.  Soldier Blade easily smashes a fair amount of it's lesser PCE brethren.

One of the best arcade and racing games of all time, or a slightly above average shooter?

I am with you for the love of outrun as i played the shit out of it as an arcade and on the SMS.
BUT Soldier Blade being average?... dude you are confused on games as much as good game prices <<hits below the belt for the win>> :P

In the mail today some DC goodness i needed, some still sealed... first time i have come across confident mission <<fist pump>>

Wow !  lots of good hauls for NEC, Sparky, and Henry these few days! 

Outrun rocks.  NECtaris, that's a great deal.  I think I paid $20 for outrun itself!!  Have yet to get a Soldier Blade.
I need to pick that one up.

Last Resort is a great game.  :)  Still haven't been able to finish the 2nd loop.

Myself I've gotten tired of taking endless pics, but I picked up an original
R-Type pcb a few weeks ago.  I hate to say it, but it plays far better then
the PCE version, Stage 4 boss is so much eaiser now that I can actually see it...

If anyone's looking to get a wireless tap and pad, NCSX has brand new PI-PD11 sets (http://www.shopncsx.com/pc-enginewirelessjoypad.aspx) available for $63.90 plus shipping.  You'll be hard pressed to find a better deal than that, though I bought mine from them for less than half that..... in 1997.  :D

turbo - nice price for the receiver + pad set for sure.  The cheapest I've seen them on YahooJP is also around 5000 yen, so you made out great!


below is my latest confirmed purchase - loosey Hueys which cost $105 shipped total.  I finally get my Coryoon!!   :dance:
This will likely end my YahooJP auction buyings for a long while.  I can't handle this nutty 85 yen:$1 USD BS exchange rate... it's too pricey.  I'll have to wait for the right time to nab the Madou Monogatari...  :|

Yes, I can watch it.  I don't think there is enough liquor in the city to make a drinking game out of it, though.  I will eventually profit since I got it for free.  1990's music means nothing to me as by then I was listening to videogame music almost all the time.

So this is the Develo CD that came with one of my set hauls from Japan. 
I am not up to speed on the history of these, but I know it was made for homebrew fans for PCE back in the days.
I also know there were mags for these.

This CD is pretty cool.  It has playable demos of Fray, Popful Mail.  then 2 homebrew games, one is a doggie one which is really fun (you jump to catch frisbees, it's all timing), the other one is a bad Zaxxon wannabe.  There are 2 more options - one is a CG, or fan art, but I can only see one ugly picture and no others.  The last one, I have no idea.. i clicked it and it showed almost like a DOS screen.. and nothing happens.

Thx Tats for the explaination!  I got the Motteke too :), but I havent figured out how to play it... it's hard! I expected Bomberman with Ducks but clearly there are more to the eggs etc..

you need to collect as much eggs as possible and arise the lil' duck babies. who has the most babies at the end is the winner. you can steal 'em from the others (so can they from you) or search 'em in the bushes.

I got a USB saturn controller as a birthday gift.  The thing is fricken awesome -- mk2 saturn controllers are my favorite controllers ever!  To test it, I went and downloaded ootake (which blows away ME, BTW) & tried some PCE games on the laptop, and controls are smooth as butter.

After all these years of disappointing joypads for the computer (starting from the original Gravis Pad), digital pads never quite felt right on PCs, until today.  I'm actually transferring my comic fantasy 2 save files from my Duo over to the PC using nanami bank and will continue the game on the laptop...  :D

I've been looking at those for months. I bought some Saturn to ps2 converter and connected that to a ps2 to USB. I did that so I can use my Saturn fighting sticks with my MAME pc.

I still may pickup one of these in white ;)

Good to see the games arrived safely and in nice condition :)  Did you play BattleLodeRunner & PopMagic yet?  those are fun 2 player games.  I didn't really get to play W-Ring before sending it to ya.

I'm itching for my trip back to the Bay Area so I can pick up the games you sent me!  can't wait...

Turbo - the 3 button pad came in a special box w/Forgotten Worlds released at the JP market only.  It's not too easy to find one with the game and box together complete (the one I traded to Henry was my only one  :cry:).   I think fair price for it, used, is around $75.

Sparky, been trying to work through trading where possible, but I still can't pass up a good deal (Rockabilly's Duo RX  :) )

I'm getting close to completing the game collection I want (Down to 13 Shumps left) and some hardware and misc PC Engine games, so I may be turning my trade list into a sale list soon - we shall see.

Gameboy printer?  Interesting device, is it dot matrix? 

Region modded Nomad?  Does that mean you can play all the Canadian titles too?  :)

Canadian Nomad titles are the best.  There is a region exclusive copy of Haunting, Starring Polterguy where you must scare the maple syrup out of moose and mounties at a hockey game.

Hi there Clash are you kidding about this ??? where can we see the proof of that version ? I am very interested in buying that version if it is available thanks.

Castlevania Chronicles for the PS1, and Symphony of the Night (GH). I am so glad I finally get to play this lost treasure. I will probably never own a X68000 so this is a great alternative. I just wish that more games would get released for this ultra rare Japanese computer on compilations.

I have had SOTN for a few years on XBOX Live, but the D-Pad on the 360 controller is less than adequate, so I picked up the original (which I should have done long ago). The only negative thing that I can honestly say about SOTN is in the Inverted Castle they use the same music track for most of the castle sections. I would've just settled for the same music as in the first castle instead of hearing one new song over and over again. It actually bothered me so bad that I had to walk away from the game for a few days. Which would obviously say to you that I didn't buy these games today. They are just my latest purchases. :wink:

My Ys Seven arrived earlier this week and then today my Jaguar with the CD unit and a few games showed up.  I cleaned the Jag up a bit after I took the pic.  What a ridiculous controller that thing came with.  Almost as big as the system.

Nice B&B! I had a Jag when I was a teenager and my fave two games for it was Tempest 2000 and Wolfenstein 3D. I never did buy (or even see) a Jag CD. Does the CD-ROM unit work? Going by the AVGN's review of the Jag there seems to be a lot of problems with them.

Yeah, thankfully this one works.  It wouldnt play games through the pass-thru (cartridge), but after a good cleaning it booted right up.  Now to get Raiden!  The only cart I have atm is Cybermorph and it is pretty much the horriblest game I've ever played.  I got a pretty decent deal on it, so Im happy.

but if I'm honest, the PCE raiden has the best controlls. it is smoother than the arcade one.

Yeah, I could play an emulated arcade version on a more recent console, but there is just something about seeing what our trusty 8 & 16-Bit workhorses could muster. And you just proved another victory, Tats! Raiden's controls are smoother on our beloved PCE!  :clap: God, I love this hobby.

Fatal Fury 2 Special: HANDS DOWN the best 1 on 1 fighting game on the PCE!!! Yes, even better then SF2:Champ IMO. More fighters, desperation super moves, CD music, and MAI SHIRANUI 'nuff said  =P~

Bad Blurays... define mess? shitty transfers? Well, they're newer releases seem to be the old Shaw Bros. stuff right? I don't think they can dig up much extras for those oldies.  Warzone has a better story then Flashpoint IMO, Warzone came out 1st but because of how it ended for Detective Ma...they had to continue in the way of a prequel hence Flashpoint. The final fight between DonnieYen and SammoHung is THE BOMB!!! Add in SimonYam and u got some great dramatic acting as well, I recommend!  Too bad to hear about Logan tho  :(

It works at least, tested it with an audio CD and it plays and skips tracks fine. Worked on its own and through my (still beeping) interface unit. Replacement interface unit should arrive this week, so that should sort the beeping out once and for all.

Got some CD games in the air, just have to wait for them to arrive.

I'm just glad that it works, well it plays audio CD's just fine and that has to be a good sign. I'm going to grease up the gears with ceramic grease & hopefully I get my monies worth out of the CD unit.

I do have other bits & pieces, no CD games yet unfortunately but I have 8 on the way.

I'm from Australia and am fortunate enough to have a friend in Japan who buys PC Engine stuff dirt cheap from Japanese gaming shops and ships it over to me, at my expense of course. Works out so much cheaper than buying crap on eBay. It's really sad how inflated eBay prices are, I pay no more than $6 AU per game shipped straight from Japan (and that's with a nice profit going to my friend), eBay charges 3 x that much.

Retro gaming shouldn't be so expensive, and that sucks as I reckon more people would get into it if it weren't. Then again, more people = more demand = scarcer products = higher prices; maybe it's a good thing that retro gaming is such a small niche.

For example, I really want to get my hands on a Neo Geo home console, I can't do that for much less than $300. That's ridiculous for a 20 year old piece of hardware which didn't cost that much more than that upon release. It's not like they're rare either, they must have had a production run into the millions and I always see at least 10 per month advertised on eBay.

Anyhoo, here's some other PC Engine gear I've got my hands on.

This is a lot of games I got off my friend in Japan, $30 AU shipped for 6 cd games and 1 HuCard game:

That depends on what you are comparing.  The PCECD compared to a Mega Drive with a 32X attached?  Yeah, PCE wins.  ShuttleGrafx compared to a CDX?  Gonna have to go with the Sega on that one.

I do have other bits & pieces, no CD games yet unfortunately but I have 8 on the way.

I'm from Australia and am fortunate enough to have a friend in Japan who buys PC Engine stuff dirt cheap from Japanese gaming shops and ships it over to me, at my expense of course. Works out so much cheaper than buying crap on eBay. It's really sad how inflated eBay prices are, I pay no more than $6 AU per game shipped straight from Japan (and that's with a nice profit going to my friend), eBay charges 3 x that much.

Retro gaming shouldn't be so expensive, and that sucks as I reckon more people would get into it if it weren't. Then again, more people = more demand = scarcer products = higher prices; maybe it's a good thing that retro gaming is such a small niche.

For example, I really want to get my hands on a Neo Geo home console, I can't do that for much less than $300. That's ridiculous for a 20 year old piece of hardware which didn't cost that much more than that upon release. It's not like they're rare either, they must have had a production run into the millions and I always see at least 10 per month advertised on eBay.

Anyhoo, here's some other PC Engine gear I've got my hands on.

This is a lot of games I got off my friend in Japan, $30 AU shipped for 6 cd games and 1 HuCard game:

Brand new muiltitap from Genki:

And one of my favourites, a mint copy of SFII, from one of the few good eBay sellers:

Got some more stuff coming from eBay and Game of Japan, just waiting for it to arrive.


man good for you that you have that connect!!! those games for me are ok at best though.  Im sure you would have to pay more loot for better games.  but either way,  its awesome that your friend is hookin you up

Arghs.....although Art of Fighting is a great port of the arcade version....the original was barely a decent game compared to AOF2.  Do yourself a favor and lockdown a copy of Fatal Fury 2: Special and World Heroes 2 !!! It's the reason why u have an Arcade card my friend  :mrgreen:

Funny you should mention that, I actually have Fatal Fury 2 & Fatal Fury Special on order from Hit-Japan. They were despatched last Thursday so I hope they hurry up and get here so I can finally play my CD unit.

It's so hard to resist the temptation of trying a burnt disc, I've decided to be patient and not take any chances.

Nothing exciting today, only got these as they were really cheap and I needed some games to test my CD unit - it works!

Hey Opethian, SNAP! I love my Neo Geo, want to get the home system one day but the price of the console and games is very off-putting.

(http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y189/fjs/PCB_NeoGeoMV-1F.jpg)

It's hard to see from your pic, it looks like it has already been removed, but if not, do yourself a favour and remove the battery! They are notorious for leaking, replace it with a supercap.

Here's another arcade PCB I bought recently, won it off eBay for $1 - it was listed as non-working. Took 2 minutes to fix up, only needed a new RAM chip and a quick solder fix on the audio chip.

Shadow Warriors (you guys probably know it as Ninja Gaiden):

A brand new boxed & complete Asian (not Japanese, I think these were distributed in Hong Kong/Philippines etc) Sega Mega Drive II. It's a PAL console with 240v adapter which suits me fine being in Australia. I'm going to buy a Japanese Mega Drive 1 for import games.

For the price it just seemed the best way to go. Second hand they still go for around $60 on eBay and usually they're a little beat up, scratched, missing cables or bundled with cheap 3rd party controllers etc. I got this for $80AU landed (dived in when the exchange rate was good). It's brand new so I get that new car smell feeling and the joy of opening it up. Also, being new it should last a lot longer than any 2nd hand Mega Drive.

Got a non-functioning Duo in today.  All I can say is ZOMG this thing is mint!  Its a real shame it has stopped working!  This guy included EVERYTHING with it.  All the manuals, the 3in1 plus manuals, the turbo force magazine, a letter he got from NEC with coupon books and stickers!  All the baggies and zip ties, all styrofoam!  The controller even still has the film over the face of it!  He even had his receipt from when he bought it...  Looks like he paid $250 for it in Feb of 2000 from Telegames USA?   I feel so bad that the poor thing doesn't work!  Hopefully I can repair it, its just such a mint condition unit I hate to see it failed!  Production date on it is Jan 93. According to the guy I bought it from the system was used a total of maybe 30 hours since new...  crazy!

Oh and the letter he got from NEC with the coupon books etc, the postmark was May 29, 1990.  Pretty darn cool!

Update:  The system is fully functional.... :(  Looks like it was a bad A/V cable.... so now the moral dilemma since I basically gave $70 for it...

Update 2: Found one problem with it after some use... the left audio channel is noticeably quieter than the right on cd audio.  Guess a few caps are in order.

Holy crap! I want to laugh...wait...I am already laughing. I feel bad for the guy. I'm not sure how I would go about that. If it was just an A/V cord it seems like he didn't care enough to troubleshoot. It's obviously up to you how you want to handle it, though.

Anyway, nice system! I love all the nostalgic goodies! :D

None that I can see, but when I connect with it, the video would come in and out as I manipulated the cable (on the RCA jack side, not the DUO side)  It felt like something was not quite right inside the cable.

I logged about 2 hours of LoT last night.  Only f*ckery was the sound issue.  Ill be correcting that tonight.  I know i'll never find another system like this again so i guess i had better keep it.

$1800 for Magical Chase?!  Bah!  I just want to play it!  This loosey copy was MUCH cheaper!  And now I actually have some schmups for the PC engine!

On a US TG16 or TurboDuo, you can play any US or Japanese TG16/PCE ROM.  If you have a Japanese system, you would, I believe, have to patch US game ROMs to work, since it has that region-check deal built in.  You just plug the card into that USB slimloader and load ROMs onto it.  This one is 64 Mb (megabit, not megabyte), but they now make a 128 Mb version.  This one holds about 10 games, depending on their size, which is enough for me considering the ease with which you can add and remove games.  I downloaded a cooler looking menu for it, but haven't put it on the card yet.  I can post a new pic once I do, if anyone is actually interested.

Here's a link to the site for the current product:

On the contrary, I think that things like this just helps you sort out which games you actually want to buy.  It's not like I am going to get rid of any of my TG16 games now that I have this.  I didn't (and still don't) have a way to play PCE games at the moment, but I would still like to grab a cheap-o PC Engine down the line so that I can play the real games.  Certainly though, for some people flash carts will replace actual games.  But I am both a gamer and a collector, so I still want to have the real thing.

i think its pretty cool and I agree and feel there is no way it would steer me away from getting the original games.  How lame would a person be if all they had was roms?  get a wii or something.  this imo is a great thing to dump a coulpe games on try em out then buy or just have fun

Sapphire might be the next goal, but it requires an Arcade card am I right?  Which would mean I'll need to either mod my US duo for JP or find someone with a Duo-R... who might have one for sale... :P

That's tough to call, but I'd personally go with Sapphire, myself. Spriggan is awesome - graphics and sound/music are top notch, but I do suggest playing it on difficult. You can pretty much walk through the game on easy.

I played through on the default setting and didn't have any trouble until the last boss. I couldn't figure out a strategy to beat him so I had to use a cheat code to get through it. :(

While a repro just cost $40.00 that's why some prefer it.

If there is lag, then it is probably only around 1 or 2 frames at most on my TV (CRT HDTV).  You can't noticeably see it like you can with the Wii.  It definitely feels more accurate.  The demo for Start the Party  is really cool and is certainly something the Wii couldn't do.  It seems EXTREMELY accurate in that game.  What is lame, though, is that the demo disc that comes with it requires you to install the demos to the hard drive instead of just running them off of the disc.  And the cable for the USB camera could be longer.

Yep, Unibios and MVS converter are next on the list, and I might get a CD controller too as I don't really like the button positioning of the arcade stick.

It came from Game of Japan, which is associated with Hit-Japan.

Just as I bought this one, another one popped up for cheaper! The box is more damaged though, the one I have is pretty clean.

You should also join me and some others over at Neo-Geo.com. There are good conversations, and deals, to be had. Just be prepared to deal with a lot of unnecessary drama. Avoid it and you can have some good times. :wink:

Tobias at http://sapphire.anime4ever.de/ has a few "discolored" versions left for $45 shipped. If you have an ACD and means to use it here's your chance. :wink:

As for a boxed US Neo Geo just get a cheap Japanese model and get it modded. It's cheaper, and then you have a Japanese, North American, and European model all in one. The Neo Geo is not like other systems. You actually feel constricted with a normal Neo, like your missing out on the big picture.

That's exactly what these are. Part of me cared that I was buying a probable bootleg, but $45 compared to $300 (current price at Game of Japan) is too good to pass up, especially with it being a pressed CD-ROM. You better get one now Joe while Tobias still has them.

I have played through the first four levels tonight. I can't believe I am essentially playing an 8-bit game. :shock: I know "bits" are overrated, but it's still mind blowing. Even the music has that "Gate of Thunder" feel that I love so much. T's Music did both games right? Anyhoo, I recommend these "boots" to anyone who doesn't want to pay for the "real" version. The look authentic on my shelf too. :mrgreen:

Here is a pic of my setup. I don't think I have ever shared it:

I am biding my time until I can get the US version.

Argh, so expensive!  But if I had an opportunity to get the US one for a good price, I probably would just so I can understand the story.  But $10 for this copy was too good to pass up!

It has AV in and AV out so you can use the headphones port on the left. and they keys light up :D. You dont have to run video to it but it is nice that it will relay that signal for you if you are using the multi out.

I do have a scart TV but it's huge and too awkward to move around (82cm Grundig) which is why I went the CSY-2100 route on my beloved JVC TV.

Title: Re: teh "what did you buy today"-thread
Post by: Mathius on September 30, 2010, 06:47:48 PM
I don't understand why, but I have always been a whore for S-Video. Maybe it's because it strikes some kind of perfect balance. That might all change if I can actually get the component to work on my Neo. All I get right now is a foggy picture with a lot of wavy lines. I actually made a video about it:
Title: Re: teh "what did you buy today"-thread
Post by: Frank_fjs on September 30, 2010, 06:51:48 PM
How are you achieving component out, is your AES modded?

How new is your TV & have you tried other TV's? Many newer TVs won't accept 240p on their component inputs, which may be your problem.

S-Video beats the crap out of RF (duh) and composite, but if you can get it RGB is the bees knees, it's the only way to go for console gaming.
Title: Re: teh "what did you buy today"-thread
Post by: Mathius on September 30, 2010, 06:59:49 PM
Yep, it's modded with S-vid, component, stereo, and Unibios ver. 2.3. I know it's not the TV because my other TV does the same exact effect. That's not seen in the video though.

Post by: Frank_fjs on September 30, 2010, 07:26:29 PM
I guess it's possible whoever did your mod stuffed up the component video aspect, it looks like a sync issue to me. If you can find one, try it on an older CRT TV. If the problem still persists then you know it's the mod that is to blame. I would speculate that it's just a jrok or neobitz in there, why the Neo Geo community insists on using these overpriced & inferior video encoders I will never know.

I have to disagree. Not only do I think it looks awesome, but it prevents me from accidentally leaving my Neo on for extended periods without realizing it. :wink:

What's with the CD-ROM2 unit in that picture. It looks different to mine (rectangular window) and what is that it's docked to?

I wrapped the Duo itself and had fun with it (as seen there)  but I packaged that in an unassuming fish product box :P

Thanks guys!  Yeah I don't know what to be happiest about!

I now have the Duo collection thanks to Opethians and Rockabilly's Duos!  They are all sweet!

BMW's packaging was priceless!  I had to photo it for you guys.  I didn't do anything nearly as creative for what I sent to him.  I think he's turning into a little PCE monster though.... maybe BMW really stands for BonkMomoWataru!

Seriously though... the US Duo is in amazing condition!  Thank you so much for the trade & I hope you get tons of Obey time with your new stuff!

I don't understand why, but I have always been a whore for S-Video. Maybe it's because it strikes some kind of perfect balance. That might all change if I can actually get the component to work on my Neo. All I get right now is a foggy picture with a lot of wavy lines. I actually made a video about it:

I you are using an internal encoder like the neobitz, try adding a 0.1uf ceramic capacitor on the sync INPUT line. This usually gets rid of the wave.

What doesn't work? If nothing works, like no power turns on (LED), there's probably an internal fuse which is blown. I have the same prob with one, which I will check by time.

Yeah, everyone has been telling me that it is my TV, even though I get the same wavyness (is that a word?) on every TV I use.

Unfortunately, I will need someone to do that procedure for me as I don't have the skills.

I've been neglecting to share the acquisitions of the week!  Several folks have sent me things (Some expected.... some not!)  So in advance.... thanks to all that hooked me up with great stuff!  And even more thanks to those who just decided to send me something cool just because!

Here's a run down of what Santa Claus (AKA the postman!) has brought me recently!

First a mighty huge lot of goodies came in from none other than PC Henler (henrycsc) :P  (Not shown is a freebie PCEvolution poster that I totally didn't expect!!!)

(http://i905.photobucket.com/albums/ac253/bmcdanold/Video Game Stuff/pchenler.jpg)

Next, Sir Mathius sent me a nice little unexpected freebie!  I haven't tried it yet (busy week!) but I will this weekend!

(http://i905.photobucket.com/albums/ac253/bmcdanold/Video Game Stuff/freebie1.jpg)

A few ebay auctions I picked up for what I believed to be non-gouge prices!  As a F@CK ebay club member, I'd ask the club to comment on the legality of these purchases.  Ldis was $7, and Sprig MK 2 was $30.  I just bid the opening bid on each, nothing more.  $4 shipping each.

(http://i905.photobucket.com/albums/ac253/bmcdanold/Video Game Stuff/ebayscores.jpg)

Yet another unexpected freebie from none other than Necromancer!  He felt that having Sapphire as my only Arcade title was a travesty!  So he sent me this!!!  On a side note... check out the packaging on the right there!  The game was wrapped in the stuff!  Henler, I think you've spawned a line of Christmas gift wrap!  Also, the outer packaging was A: Recycled, B: Creatively addressed... :lol: C: complete with a sticker warning of the high level of "pure awesomesauce" and D: stamped with the turbob seal of approval... an intel inspired "obey inside" logo!  Looks like I need to step up my packaging methods!

(http://i905.photobucket.com/albums/ac253/bmcdanold/Video Game Stuff/freebie2.jpg)

And lastly... found some goodies that will hopefully provide many smiles and obey for a few people.... some Turbo/PCE CD replacement lasers that were a very good price!

If it's option one, could you answer my question pretty please. :)

Hopefully Revenge of Shinobi has Spiderman, and hopefully Saint doesn't suck.  Figured a shmup for $10 was worth a shot.

Not even the Gameshop Warehouse in LA? :P

I've found loosie hueys of Splatterhouse and Bonk's Revenge in 2009; to be fair, I had to quiz him about what was in the back room...  and one turbo pad in 2010. Other than that, nada since 1996.

Ope here's a basic pair of pictures of my shelving. Keep in mind there is a row below these pictures that isn't there. There is also one more shelf going over with a bottom row of NES games. I also have 150 or so in a box. Like I said I need to redo my shelving. Right now it's sloppy

That's not all the Saturn games nor all the Sega CD games, that's just ones that happen to be on that shelf. I've had to migrate a lot of stuff off the shelf as the NES collection grew and started annexing space of other systems.

With Saturn I have several stacks of Saturn games in two different rooms that got moved off of a shelf. Also quite a few Sega CD games as well in other spots.

Yeah part two suffer from way to much slowdown.Also i couldn't stand how the choices were limted for what paths you could take,and how the roll move was replaced by jumping instead.Not to mention you could only use one character during it's gameplay "while in the original" up to four or more.

When ever you get the original shocktroopers you will find it to be a much better game.

damn Dan you should take a picture of all those grey goodies ^_^


Ope here's a basic pair of pictures of my shelving. Keep in mind there is a row below these pictures that isn't there. There is also one more shelf going over with a bottom row of NES games. I also have 150 or so in a box. Like I said I need to redo my shelving. Right now it's sloppy

What is limited about this edition?  How limited is it?  I am a big Evil Dead fan, but hate all the double-dips...  sell me on this!
Title: Re: teh "what did you buy today"-thread
Post by: nectarsis on October 15, 2010, 02:27:37 PM
Actual limited printing what what I've heard (amazon, Best Buy, and other retailers are out of stock/shipping the regular edition).  Limited has a second disc with quiet a few extras.  The eventual double/triple/quadruple dip I'm sure will occur in 5-8 months though LOL.

P.S. It's only $10 at Best Buy this week..if they still have any left.


Extras on 2nd disc:

# Documentary: 'One by One We Will Take You: The Untold Saga of The Evil Dead' (54 min) — With interviews of cast and crew, the doc is an all-inclusive and widespread look at Sam Raimi's low-budget classic and its unexpected impact on the horror genre. While behind-the-scenes footage is shown throughout, viewers learn a great deal about the production, its history from short film to public reaction, and much about the work that went into making the movie. Some of the conversations offer amusing insights into the trilogy and their unique style. The best part is listening to thoughts about the movie's lasting influence and its continued admiration by modern horror fanatics.

# "The Evil Dead: Treasures from the Cutting Room Floor" (59 min) — This is probably one of the most extensive assortment of alternate takes and deleted scenes I've ever come across. Although most of the footage has aged badly, and there's little explanation of what we're seeing, this intimidating piece shows some great material fans are sure to love and enjoy watching.

# "The Ladies of the Dead Meet Bruce Campbell" (29 min) — The star of the 'Evil Dead' series sits down to chat with his female co-stars about their experience on the film. With film clips interspersed throughout, the conversation is very entertaining and Campbell makes an amusing interviewer.

# "Discovering The Evil Dead" (13 min) — Made by the fine folks at Blue Underground, this is a great piece that gives a quick overview of how the movie made history and its reception in the United Kingdom.

# "Unconventional" (19 min) — Another cool featurette that has the cast reminiscing about the film. Only this time, they are joined by Ted Raimi and Robert Tapert to discuss the group's career in the horror genre. The friendly banter is enjoyable with some great insights.

# "At the Drive-In" (12 min) — This was filmed at a special Chicago screening where the cast gives away free DVD copies to a fanatical crowd.

# "Reunion Panel" (31 min) — This is merely an extension of the previous featurette, showing cast and crew in a Q&A session at the "Flashback Weekend" convention.

# "The Book of the Dead: The Other Pages" (2 min) — Essentially, alternate takes of Ash looking through the book.

# Make-Up Test (1 min) — Exactly as the title implies, viewers can watch raw footage of early make-up work and effects.

# Trailers — A small collection of TV spots and the original theatrical preview are available in their appropriate category.

# Photo Gallery —This is a large compilation of production stills, poster art, and behind-the-scenes photos.

I think that's the one I have. The artwork on the sleeve and on the disc is just a little faded, right? But yeah, there's no need spending $300 and up for the rilly dilly when you can have an almost identical copy.

It all comes down to teh $$ Tats. $300 for a PCE game is out of most peoples' league. It's easy for those who already have the real Sapphire to look down upon those who don't. And those who don't have no other choice than this well made alternative. What I paid for Dungeon Explorer II will be the most I'll ever pay for a Turbografx game, but rest assured if there was a copy of DEII as well made as the Sapphire boot I would have bought that one. :wink: And if the US DEII was going for $300, I would have thrown out the prospects of playing the game in English, and would have just gotten the PCE version.

It hurt me when I was using a CD-R to play Sapphire.  I wanted a less-ghetto bootleg and this fits just nicely.  The real Sapphire still has the same obnoxious sound effects that drown out the music, the same bosses that flash so much when they get hit that you can't admire the detail, etc.  Look at it this way... I get pretty much an identical copy as the real deal, it just didn't come with the gloating rights.  :)

what else is new....i've already complained about the US art on another thread....wasn't until TTI took over that the art got better i think.

Anyways, nice purchase sir! that screen size blows away the TG Express and the extra port for 2player is major bonus!

the extra port isn't for 2-player, it is for the normal player-1 pad, since 98% of the games can't really be played on the built-in pad.
if you want 2P or more -> regular multi-tap.

Speaking of 2 player and Turbo Express in the same breath, ive been meaning to test if you can com link a 2 player PCE Title on a GT with a TG Title on and express.  Has anyone tried this before?

The XE-1pro was a very nice stick for it's time.  It's a bit smaller then a real arcade stick, but uses micro switches and is very smooth.  The buttons feel a bit cheap, but I prefer them over the modern day cheap Hori buttons.  And I love how you can rotate the buttons, you can totally reverse their positions.  The MSX version does require 3 AA batteries though which is a bit lame.

Ultima V (Warriors of Destiny) is the true stinker here. I found it unplayable.

I finally broke down and bought a PS3.  It was a recertified 40gb model from Newegg for $224.  I got it mainly for a blueray player.  Also having a huge gift card for there helped.  I also just bought Ridge Racer 7 since I'm a RR whore.  There are some games coming out down the road that are for the PS3 only I want to pick up, like Ni no Kuni. (although there is a DS version as well but will be different)

I really liked 3d dot heroes and Tekken 6 so far. as for PSN the Soldner X games are pretty fun
Title: Re: teh "what did you buy today"-thread

Yeah I was wanting to try the Soldner games.  They look really well done.  I might dl Magical Drop F from PSN.  I never knew about this game.  I love the Magical Drop series.  3d dot heroes does look fun and I'll need to get that one as well.  I'm also waiting to find out which version of Fist of the North Star-Ken's Rage is better.  I am a huge Hakuto no Ken fan and want to make sure I get the one that is the better version.  (like Bayoneta)

Same here buddy!  I saw the PS3 trailor and was blown away by the Hokuto-ness! I've been a fan since discovering the old anime movie back in the early 90s...only then did I realize that "Last Battle" for Genesis was actually Fist for the MegaDrive  :dance:

Now if only Sega was smart enough to release their Fist 1-on-1 fighter that was in the arcade few years ago for online play....AMAZING 2d animation and game engine, pretty much Capcom Vs. Marvel w/ Hokuto characters except they each had classic finishing moves as well and minus all the manic double screen jumping! 
Title: Re: teh "what did you buy today"-thread
Post by: geise on October 24, 2010, 11:50:50 AM
Thanks for the link!  Yeah Hakuto no Ken is one of my favorites.  5 Star Stories is my 2nd.  I remember the manga from the 80's.  My neighbor had a ton of it.  He showed me Last Battle and mentioned that it was a US version of Hakuto no Ken.  I was really impressed with the manga.  In 91 my bro wen to a comicon and got a dub of the Steamline version of the anime movie.  I've been a huge fan since.

I have always wanted to play that arcade version you linked.  Isn't that arcade game on the ps2?

@henrycsc, when you say all the shooters.  Are you counting just the stand alone normal releases, or everything?  Like Darius Alpha, Soldier Special Versions, Cychorider, Force Gear, etc?  Either way congrats, a noble goal.  Though personally I have no need for games such as Legion.  :)

Yes Force Gear is in Tokimeki.  I know SomerAssault has a secret shooter game hidden in it (though it really sucks).  Probably more that I don't know of too.

Just got me a good deal on a Japanese Saturn pad. Hopefully it works on my US Saturn. If not, I can just get me a Japanese Saturn in the future.

I hear these controllers are some of the best ever made for any platform. Here is the auction I won.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rt=nc&nma=true&item=280578561342&si=ZJa37DWC2uam%252BP7O%252B4yTiXANUgU%253D&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWNX%3AIT
Title: Re: teh "what did you buy today"-thread
Post by: Joe Redifer on October 28, 2010, 06:48:12 PM
The Japanese Saturn pad will work on the US unit ONLY if you region mod the system.  You also need to modify the video signal from NTSC-U to NTSC-J or it will not work.  Finally, you need a Pro Action Replay cartridge (must be v 1.1, no higher or lower!!) and will need to input the code:
F6000924 C305
B7002800 0000
F6000524 C305
B6002800 0000
160A6870 0200
160A6800 0063
F6000914 C305
B6002800 0000

So it's pretty easy and works great!  Oh, and you'll need to put a 1k resistor and a twin-pot transformer in the Japanese pad on wire 3.














































Or you can just plug it in without doing any of the steps above and enjoy it.  :)

I don't know how anyone could make a bootleg UMD.  It's a format that nobody cares about.  It would take a great amount of effort to bootleg Jackass 3D onto a UMD.  I don't think it is really Jackass 3D but probably volume 3 of the insipid TV show itself.

I also got a supergun not too long ago - I got it to play Cave-games. I don't know why, but apparently those games run in 59hz which none of my TV's can display properly. I wasn't too happy when I realized that beeing that I've payed $365 for a custom made supergun and ESP.Ra.De PCB. :/

Is it an LCD TV? gotta use CRT for superguns unless you have one that outputs VGA. I recently got completed my Metal Slug MVS series with 5 now I have them all!

Opethian: It's both. I have two LCD's and one CRT, but the CRT can only display 50hz. Unlucky! So, basically I have to get a whole new TV just for that one game. No way! But I DO need a TV for tate... Hmmm.... :)

Opethian: Yeah, it's from when I was young. Back then it was unusual for a PAL TV to display 60hz and the reason I have a PAL at all is that it was standard here for many years.

I didn't recently buy this, it would be more accurately titled "look what I found today." I have been missing this for a long time and found one of the boxes I packed up 6 years ago when I moved into my current house. The Lunar guide is cool because it has an interview with Vic, and he gives some props to PC Engine:

"if you compare the PC Engine and Megadrive - marketing aside - the PC Engine has some awesome games."
- Vic Ireland

He also talks about how he was the executive producer of Dungeon Explorer II and gave a copy of Last Alert to the guy in charge of the project as an example of what NOT to do for voice acting. LOL

It's pretty solid joystick for the pce ask nect he has one to.Now it's not what you get from (madcatz or hori) given they use sanwa or even happs.Still the xe-1 pro he has those mirco switches for that,clicky stick sound but it works beside it having extra controller ports as well.

GODDDAAAAMMNNN this is a sweetass shooter  :clap:
It's been awhile since i've been floored by such a total package, and all for $13 cdn.
(In overall presentation i'm as impressed as when i 1st layed my eyes on Gates and ThunderForce V)
Solid music, up to 2 players, great weapons, the chatter between the pilot and mission dispatch is a nice touch and of course the KILLER graphics! (the backgrounds are TO DIE FOR!) The game has a unique point multiplier/grading system, so i see some major replay value for you high score freaks!
Huuuuge props to the development team on this gem (what's even more impressive is that we all know Japan is the king of making shooters but the opening credits show mainly a European development team)

That controller doesn't make much sense.  The connector looks like it is for the PC Engine, but it has A, B and C button labels.  The problem with that is that there really aren't any ABC button groups.  There is a pair of Turbo buttons which are labeled A, then there are the regular buttons which are labeled B (which actually look more like turbo buttons) and then a lone C button which doubles as A+B.  What the hell?

The next two buttons under the B heading are turbo buttons for buttons I & II.

The last button under the C heading presses buttons I & II simultaneously?

I haven't tried it yet but that appears to be the button configuration. I can't think of any instance that you would need to simultaneously press the I & II buttons in a turbo fashion but nevertheless that option is available here.

It'd be nice for shooters where you use one button for air-to-air and the other for air-to-ground, though some of 'em won't let you fire both weapons at once.

I have been putting off buying the RGB to YUV convertor due to having to buy all those cables in the box you have. I need SNES, Genesis 1, Saturn, PS1, NeoGeo CD (My AES is component modded), and Dreamcast.

How much do the cables run you up in $ for each system?
Title: Re: teh "what did you buy today"-thread
Post by: SuperDeadite on November 24, 2010, 11:48:20 AM
If your going to use a transcoder, you can stick to Euro SCARTs, which are usually quite cheap and easy to get.
My TV takes pure RGB input but needs Japanese 21pin cables, which are typically harder to get and more
expensive. 

Being in Japan, I've slowly been building these up over time.  The Saturn cables, can go for over a $100
online, but I found mine for $20 in a shop.  The PS1 cable is cheap, but kinda redundant, as the PS2 can output
RGB through component cables anyways.  SFC cables are very cheap, but most of them have leaky capacitors
which must be replaced or they won't work properly.

Most of these I've just been buying off of Amazon slowly.  The Saturn cable is certainly the hardest to get, but
I got lucky in an Osaka shop.

No, the white box is the official Sega DC VGA Box.  The smaller plastic box below is a DC RGB cable.  Sadly Sega
never made a Japanese RGB cable for DC.  So I had to buy a 3rd party cable.  But I'm quite pleased with the quality,
picture looks beautiful.  Though such a cable is really only for the perfectionists like myself that want to play 240p

Finally had sometime to return to my nirvana.  Picked these up at a HardOff in northern Japan (Sapporo).  They had pretty steep prices but lots of nice stuff.  A complete minty sexy condition PCE FX was 7600 yen for e.g. 
I bought these rare Famicom system goodies.  The BASIC set + the Cassette Data recorder.  The original booklets are all present and in nice condition.  The Basic keyboard programming set indicated it was not for sale on the instruction booklet..
also picked up the first FF complete in box.  total haul was 5000 yen, not too shabby for something you dont see everyday.

@Opethian   Thanks, but actually it's "Gofer No Yabou: Episode II" (aka Nemesis 3).
And is a sequal to the arcade Gradius II: Gofer No Yabou.  The actual MSX Gradius 2 (Nemesis 2),
is a totally different game.

Funny thing was even though i won them on different days and game came from Florida, poster from Liverpool...they showed up on my doorstep on the same DAY! Must be because the postoffice knew they'd make a great package  :dance:

And finally did some Xmas shopping but snagged a couple of deals... Doomsday $13 which i saw at a buddy's place and the 1st 15mins alredy hooked me in, Lost Boys $6 because i spent over $20 in store at HMV.

Borderlands was the last PC game I really enjoyed.  Diablo 3 in 2012 may be the next.

I thought it looked amazing on DVD!  I'm just curious to see how much better it might look on Bluray.  Some movies dont make the jump too well, but anything CG like FF7 AC usually is pure WIN on bluray.  Shoot me a price for it alone, and it with your PCE/IFU/CD2 setup :P

Not turbo/pce related but...  something really cool arrived yesterday!  This expensive little adapter allowed me to run 3 monitors off my new video card AND be able to play games across all 3 screens.  Before I was using two video cards to run the 3 screens, which was great for windows, but games still only utilized the one screen.  Now I am teh ubergeekt!

(http://i905.photobucket.com/albums/ac253/bmcdanold/adapter.jpg)

Here's Crysis on 3 screens!

Post by: BlueBMW on January 01, 2011, 06:49:16 AM
I was going to download F1 2010 on steam to try just that Ope!  I'm just impressed that the one video card is capable of pushing that high a resolution (3840x1024) at a decent framerate!  Its amazing how far computer tech has come.  I remember when VGA was cool!  :P

BTW, does anyone here need a decent video card?  I have no use for my old one now that I've replaced it.  Its a BFG Geforce 8800 GTS 512mb.  If someone wants it, let me know!

Your vid card wouldn't work with my AMD processor, would it? I think we already discussed that before, though. lol

That's really cool, but it'd be even cooler if they were 16:10 monitors instead of 4:3.  Make it happen!  :)

The monitors are all Samsung SyncMaster 930Bs (came out maybe 5 years ago?)  5:4 ratio, native 1280x1024)  19"  :P

My old video card should work on any machine with a PCI Express slot I believe :P  So whichever of you two wants it, or I could flip a coin :lol:

As far as using 16:10 monitors... someday perhaps!  But monitors aint cheap and as was pointed out, space is a concern.  These already take up the entire desk.  And honestly, any wider and I'd have to start swiveling my head quite a bit to see everything.  If anyone's curious, the card I'm using is a Radeon 6850.  This particular card is about $170 or so.  The adapter is a display port to DVI-D "active/powered"  which was about $80 alone.  In order to run the 3 screens off the one card, you must either use one "display port" type monitor, or an adapter like that.  (the other two monitors can be HDMI or DVI/VGA)

Sadly, everything seems to be going widescreen these days, so no more squarish monitors :(  But I guess the next step that people have taken is to use 5 widescreen monitors arranged side by side but vertical instead.  The display port connection can support up to 6 screens on its own.

Well the more monitors you add, the more strain you add on the Video Card. Pretty much why alot of people use 2 video cards to drive 1 2560×1600 display at max settings.

The guy I bought the 6850 card from offered me a second identical card and I'm halfway considering getting it and running a second card for the very reason you just mentioned.  At the least it might offer me a few years of future proofing, which is probably about how much longer I have with my current mobo / cpu / ram combo.

Deadlite:  how is Fray?  I have been wanting to get it for the PCE CD... let us know if it's any good! 

never heard of Undeadline... need to check it out as well... I bought my MD last year just for Shinobi..haha.  need more good titles to keep the system non-lonely compared to the mega amount of friends my PCE has :)

Feed for the MSX and MegaDrive.  Undeadline = instant orgasm.  Been a long time since I've
played something so awesome.  Probably the ultimate twitch game.  :dance:

Undeadline is quickly becoming my favorite MD shooter.  Basically bullet-hell on the MD.
Very fast, very twitchy, and extremely hard.  But extremely playable.  Amazing game that
rewards true skill.  Hardcore to the bone, it's breathtaking just how much crap the game
throws at you at once.

Fray is a simple but fun game.  PCE Fray has better graphics and music,
but Turbo-R version feels more complete in my opinion.  Good clean fun if you get it
cheap.  Not worth investing in though.

Yes it has music, it's based on the Wii ROM.  I never use freeplay, but so far it's run perfectly
fine on my stock MV-1B. 

The Star Wars cart is actually reflective blue. Nice looking cart for an awesomely bad game.

A cart only copy of Megaman X2 and X3 for SNES (they've eluded me for years!)  and a semi-broken 2006 PS3 20gb model.  I love the black trim for some reason... :D

Not 100% sure yet.  It works fine, but after a while of play (game or movie) it'll shut itself down.  My guess is it's overheating.  No yellow light or anything, just shuts down.  I had planned on opening it up, cleaning all the heat sinks and maybe re-applying some AS5 to all the heat sink contacts if possible.

But I agree, the original 20gb and 60gb are the best PS3s out there.  My old 60gb is still working perfect fortunately.  I picked this one up because, 
A: I wanted to fix it and use it as a backup unit
B: it looks cooler than darnit
C: you just dont see too many of the old 20gb systems around.

Picked up my OBEY package on Friday; said package consisted of Faceball (finally!), Where in the World is Carmen San Diego, Golden Axe, Nemurenumori No Chiisana Ohanashi, Seiryuu Densetsu Monbit, The Manhole, Deko Boko Legend, and a full six-pack of Ultra Box.

Actually got this 2 weeks ago.
(http://i244.photobucket.com/albums/gg28/Disposition021/PS3set.jpg)

I have been trying to get around to buying one for 2-3 years. Mainly wanted it for Blu-ray, media player and MGS4. I am glad I waited. It uses less power, can down-mix HD surround to a high 1500kbs bit-rate in regular surround so my receiver works with it. Also, it is much cheaper than it was then and has 2x the HDD space of what was available.

Just recently got Killzone 2, Ninja Gaiden Sigma on the cheap and Predator 1 + 2 Blu-ray collection. I want to get Heavy Rain next maybe... just wish it is a little lower priced.

I am liking this system. PSN could use more games of my taste, but still it is pretty great.

Crap, a full six-pack of Ultra Box? I don't think I have every volume. DAMN!

I was hoping that Carmen San Diego would have some neat Red Book. Unfortunately, it doesn't. Oh well.

As for me, I finally bought an Avenue 6 pad, and I am excited to try that out on Street Fighter II.  I feel bad for my opponent using a 2 button pad!

Also purchased PTO 2 and Command & Conquer for the US Saturn.  Only 76 more games to go until I have them all.  Best console ever...  even you obeyers know that.

They leave a nice indentation on your palm after a while, at least they do for me. If a game uses the number pad, don't put the overlay in the controller. It makes the buttons less reliable. You'll be pressing 5 and wondering why it works half the time. Yeah, those Astrocade controllers are nice. They look like a bomb detonator.

Twas originally going to be on a TG16 - but the design would have been much smaller on it. 

I got the RX for a good price loose.  My boxed one won't be touched.

I also had a region switch added - the main reason I wanted it done on an RX - much more stable than the TGCD's until the gear/warm up issues are solved.

I got the RX for a good price loose.  My boxed one won't be touched.

I also had a region switch added - the main reason I wanted it done on an RX - much more stable than the TGCD's until the gear/warm up issues are solved.


I want this done to one of my systems now.  HOW MUCH WILL IT COST?

Thats some cool ass modificationation.


Ark,
Contact Red Ghost with what you are thinking of doing.  He was great to work with.  I'm sure he stays pretty busy (once I decided to have it done, I ended up being 3rd in line), but he'll get back in touch with you.   Here's some of his other stuff (with the OBEY now properly on top  :mrgreen: ): http://gametz.com/user/platinumfungi.html

This was the original concept that I had for the TG16.  He helped "evolve" it into a much nicer finished product while still retaining the feel of my original idea.

If you weren't already aware, a cool think about owning a Japanese 360 is that most of the US games are region free.

Why is that iPad so thick looking? Is that what the 3G ones are like? Or maybe its actually a pirate Famicom or something? I bought one for my mother for Xmas and it was much thinner.

I don't have any use for one either. I played with the one I bought for my mother for quite a while getting it set up and stuff, and while it is absolutely fascinating and a total joy to use, its really just a toy and in reality I'd always rather use my Macbook.

It is pretty neat.  It makes you WANT to use it.  But like SoZ said, its a toy.  Even though my laptop is huge and has a fraction of the battery life, its just so much more usable.  If I need an ultra portable tablet I'll just use my droid phone or itouch.  I am letting my mother play with it to see if its something she might use.

For casual viewing of webpages the thing is unmatched. Its also pretty rad for ebooks, Netflix, and other ultra-casual "consumptive" internet behaviors like Facebook or just cruising through Flicker or eBay.

If you are into astronomy, there is SkySafari, which I used to help me track the most recent lunar eclipse. The interface is a bit smoother than what I use on my Mac (TheSkyX).

Another thing I like are those apps devoted to specify radio shows or webpages. The IMDB one is nice. The one for This American Life is pretty rad (if you like that show) because it also doubles as a donation to the show. It only costs a few dollars and you get all the TAL stuff organized in one place with a load of bonus junk too.

Now, all of this stuff can be done on an iPhone as well, but here's something that works much better on the larger screen: Virtuoso Piano.

(http://news.handhelditems.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/virtuoso-piano-2-ss1.jpg)

At first glance it looks like a pretty no frills piano emulator, and it is, but what is totally cool is that you can chose which part of the keyboard those rows represent, and you can flip them to make it a versus dueling pianos thing, which is really fun if two people know how to play. You can probably do that on the iPhone/Touch version, but it would be much harder.

All of this stuff is, as I said, a distraction. I can do it all better with other hardware. If you add a keyboard all you have is a shitty laptop. Apple stuff is best enjoyed the way it is. If you fight the design, you just end up pissed off at it. If you have a lot of typing to do you should be using a real computer, not carrying around some stupid thing that triples the size of the iPad. Another thing to avoid: "free" apps. The ones that shove so many f*cking adds in your face you might as well have bought a Toshiba netbook for half the price.

All of this cool stuff makes me hope that the huge success of the iPad brings me the product I've wanted for ages, a touch screen MacBook. Basically what I have already (a real CPU, OS, keyboard, etc at real resolution) but with a bendy touch screen. That would be so f*cking rad, especially for music programs.

Got my belated Birthday gifts from my brother last night! Woot!

The new Tron DS game. Online lightcycles on the DS? Sold! And non other than Rocket Robin Hood, season 2. This cartoon and the old 60s Spiderman cartoon are produced by the same Canadian production company. Season 2 of Rocket Robin Hood was particularly LDS...errr...LSD induced. A lot of the animation from this season can be seen on the old Spiderman cartoon. LSD must have been the popular lunch choice at that company because these shows will whack your brain. lol

Unmatched? The Motorala Xoom with Android Honeycomb (optimized for tablets) pretty much trumps the iPad in every department. I'd be very surprised if the iPad 2 will have half the features of Android Honeycomb. You're pretty much guaranteed that the iPad 2 won't have USB or an SD Card slot, which is unacceptable. Those are absolutely bare bones features on any media device and not including them is highly dubious. Just saying that the iPad isn't unmatched; in fact, Apple is going to have to really step up their game if they want to stay competitive in the tablet market. Even the Blackberry Playbook is a great alternative, if not better. I'm personally still not sold on the whole tablet wave, as my Android phone works just great for casual browsing.

Dude :) 

Up until this point, there really hasn't been any viable competition (in user experience)  to the iPad (a friend has Galaxy Tab...it's OK, but is not a workhorse like iPad: battery is annoying, frequent reboots, apps for tab...not here yet). And, honestly, it is far too early to suggest that the mere feature lists of the Xoom or PlayBook (both look very nice) will actually amount to something substantial (Xoom has Android Marketplace, but I am not sure if the PlayBook, with QNX, will blossom or wither). We will see.

Meanwhile, for nearly an entire year already, our iPad has been an absolute joy to use. My wife got the iPad at launch and it has been used constantly (me, wife, daughter) in our household ever since. We battle over the goddamn thing. Naysayers can nay all they want, but, if you can afford it, it's a welcome addition to any household: easy to use for luddites/clumsy kids, far more convenient to use than a laptop for a majority of use cases, fantastic battery life.

I'd say reading/browsing, playing games, watching tv/movies, emailing/scheduling are the top use cases for the iPad in our household. We all have laptops at our disposal. 99% of time, the iPad is what we grab if it is available.

I rarely get to use the damn thing, which is something I've just had to accept :(

Agreeing with Esteban.... I work in the PC industry (used to work for Microsoft...)... all the PC makers these days are going to push into the tablets market.. it is just a totally different expereince for people to consume content.  If you visit stores, you can see it certainly has that WOW factor.... while notebooks gather boring dusts.  For working folks laptops is still a must, but it is clear the next gen of young ones / moms / light casual users much more prefer to consume content using the touch/slate/tablet platform. 

now.... if there is a way to get PC Engine emu on iPhone or iPad.... that is much needed!!

Tokei :)

Oh, I wasn't trying to say that the iPad wasn't unmatched before now, or that people don't enjoy it. I was just trying to say that the iPad's honeymoon is over. The Galaxy Tab, although nice, didn't have an Android OS that was optimized for the bigger screen real estate. Android is really just as easy to use as iOS, and if there is a slightly steeper learning curve on Android that's only because it offers the user more options and customization. I've never really bought the "even my 2 year old can use it" argument. That's great, but I'm not a 2 year old; I want to be able to dig deeper into the OS, customize, and just fiddle. I guess that's what I like about Android - if you're just a casual user it's pretty much plug and play, but it also offers the user so much deeper end possibilities. For me, and I would guess many others, USB, SD slots and HDMI are not just mere options; those are deal breakers, particularly USB. I have absolutely no doubt that the iPad/iPad2 will continue to do well, but it's no longer the bee's knees in the tablet market. It's true that the Xoom hasn't been officially released yet, but it's safe to assume that Google has done their homework. The new application fragments not only look cool, but also look like a very practical use of the bigger screen real estate. Honeycomb 3.0 really is a totally new OS and not just an enlarged phone OS. Also, the Xoom is going to be just one of the Honeycomb tablets that will be released this year, though I'm guessing it will certainly be one of the better ones.

Here's a little preview on CNET of Honeycomb on the Xoom for anyone interested: Honeycomb (http://cnettv.cnet.com/android-honeycomb-preview/9742-1_53-50099697.html)

Cool Stuff BMW. I played the Lynx when I was a kid and never got one though. I saw a bunch of Lynx games the other day for pretty cheap and was going to pick them up but passed. Are you going to play these? I played kung food. It was um.... interesting....

I think it is pretty exciting to see all these new Tablet-driven OSes popping up.  We haven't had this much fun since the OS/2 vs. Windows 3.11 for Workgroup vs. DOS days....

Honeycomb, WebOS, Android, iOS... and who knows whatelse (Win7 for tablets might make it too, but so far looks totally not ready)...

choice is good until standards are needed... and we are definitely in a good spot for choices in the Tablet world!!  Im in the market for one and frankly dont want iPad because ... every damn person in Singapore has a iPhone and play with iPads... gotta be different>> like favoring the TG-16 over the Genesis / SNES in the 90s!!  FOCK YEA!

Unmatched? The Motorala Xoom with Android Honeycomb (optimized for tablets) pretty much trumps the iPad in every department. I'd be very surprised if the iPad 2 will have half the features of Android Honeycomb. You're pretty much guaranteed that the iPad 2 won't have USB or an SD Card slot, which is unacceptable. Those are absolutely bare bones features on any media device and not including them is highly dubious. Just saying that the iPad isn't unmatched; in fact, Apple is going to have to really step up their game if they want to stay competitive in the tablet market. Even the Blackberry Playbook is a great alternative, if not better. I'm personally still not sold on the whole tablet wave, as my Android phone works just great for casual browsing.


Dude :) 

Up until this point, there really hasn't been any viable competition (in user experience)  to the iPad (a friend has Galaxy Tab...it's OK, but is not a workhorse like iPad: battery is annoying, frequent reboots, apps for tab...not here yet). And, honestly, it is far too early to suggest that the mere feature lists of the Xoom or PlayBook (both look very nice) will actually amount to something substantial (Xoom has Android Marketplace, but I am not sure if the PlayBook, with QNX, will blossom or wither). We will see.

Meanwhile, for nearly an entire year already, our iPad has been an absolute joy to use. My wife got the iPad at launch and it has been used constantly (me, wife, daughter) in our household ever since. We battle over the goddamn thing. Naysayers can nay all they want, but, if you can afford it, it's a welcome addition to any household: easy to use for luddites/clumsy kids, far more convenient to use than a laptop for a majority of use cases, fantastic battery life.

I'd say reading/browsing, playing games, watching tv/movies, emailing/scheduling are the top use cases for the iPad in our household. We all have laptops at our disposal. 99% of time, the iPad is what we grab if it is available.

I rarely get to use the damn thing, which is something I've just had to accept :(


Tokei :)

Oh, I wasn't trying to say that the iPad wasn't unmatched before now, or that people don't enjoy it. I was just trying to say that the iPad's honeymoon is over. The Galaxy Tab, although nice, didn't have an Android OS that was optimized for the bigger screen real estate. Android is really just as easy to use as iOS, and if there is a slightly steeper learning curve on Android that's only because it offers the user more options and customization. I've never really bought the "even my 2 year old can use it" argument. That's great, but I'm not a 2 year old; I want to be able to dig deeper into the OS, customize, and just fiddle. I guess that's what I like about Android - if you're just a casual user it's pretty much plug and play, but it also offers the user so much deeper end possibilities. For me, and I would guess many others, USB, SD slots and HDMI are not just mere options; those are deal breakers, particularly USB. I have absolutely no doubt that the iPad/iPad2 will continue to do well, but it's no longer the bee's knees in the tablet market. It's true that the Xoom hasn't been officially released yet, but it's safe to assume that Google has done their homework. The new application fragments not only look cool, but also look like a very practical use of the bigger screen real estate. Honeycomb 3.0 really is a totally new OS and not just an enlarged phone OS. Also, the Xoom is going to be just one of the Honeycomb tablets that will be released this year, though I'm guessing it will certainly be one of the better ones.

Here's a little preview on CNET of Honeycomb on the Xoom for anyone interested: Honeycomb (http://cnettv.cnet.com/android-honeycomb-preview/9742-1_53-50099697.html)

I found some replacement PSP game cases and an Acemore Freedom 16 wireless joystick in yesterday's mail.  The former will give a couple loosey-gooseys warm cozy homes and the latter is nice and clicky with decent range; unfortunately its throw seems awfully long, but I'll give it a chance to grow on me before giving up and consigning it to a shelf.

There's a local game store in my area that is selling a Lynx, 5 games (I think) and an Atari Lynx branded carrying case for $60. Let me know if you're interested and I'll get you the store's contact info.

Meh, it controls just fine.  Even has 2 screens stacked to give two "sprite planes", it actually works quite well.
Nice sense of depth considering it's age.  Not a bad attempt to port the arcade. Much better then most of the LCD

I just ordered two of the manliest PC-Engine games, Double Dragon II and Ai Cho Aniki.  Even though I am primarily a TG16 guy, I am excited to add these games to my list of 20 or so PC-E games.  Double Dragon II on NES is one of my favorite games on the system, and the PCE appears to have the definitive version.

...however, I also thought I was getting the best version of a game when I ordered PC-E Ninja Gaiden, and that was not as good as the NES.

The music is exactly what killed the PCE game for me.  Also, the backgrounds were updated, but they were just distracting and sloppy, and took away from the fluidity of the game.

I also got a CIBler New Adventure Island and a Neo Geo Pocket Shock N Rock. It's a neat accesory that gives the NGPC a rumble feature, and it also acts as a portable battery and has external speakers.

Chany: what's up with that banded New Adventure Island box?  Is that strips of cellophane tape?
Title: Re: teh "what did you buy today"-thread
Post by: chany60126 on February 27, 2011, 04:01:29 PM
Hey Necro, I'm not quite sure what kind of tape is on there, but it's on there very tight. I've never come across a game box like this. The previous owner for some reason or another decided to remove all of tabs and sides of the box. So all that's left is front and back banded together. It's pointless to remove the tape anyway. It sucks that he tampered with one of the best looking box arts in the US library. But the seller included the box as a freebie so I am not complaining. NAI is such a fun game.  :)

the NGPC Shock N Rock sounds really neat I had no idea they made add on for this since it's seems so obscure even back in the day. Can't think of that many games that can take advantage of it too since most NGPC games are slots/Pachinko games hehe

The shock n rock actually works on all games, actually. It vibrates to any bass beats or sounds. The accesory feels especially cool when playing Dark Arms since you feel the recoil of the gun shots. In the US, not many of these units made it to the market since it was released very late during the system's lifespan and many of them were recalled.

One possibility: the game might have been a rental at a mom-n-pop video store—they did some lame DIY lamination on the box so it would survive the dozens of times people picked it up and considered renting New Adventure Island. :)

I got it Monday. I haven't opened it yet but the box seemed smaller than the Oath of Felgana and Ys Seven box sets that came out recently, so I kind of got the impression they may have put a bit less effort into this box set.

This is one of my strangest "In the wild" finds ever. A Neo Geo Pocket Color with Shock N Rock, Flash cart, and Bung Pocket linker.

I haven't been able to get the Pocket Linker working yet, but it lights up and "seems to work".

Parallel port.

Parallel port.... ugg. I'm glad those days are long past us. You might have to play around with the parallel port (EPP/ECP/etc.) settings in your bios to get it working.

Anyway, I picked up Shubibbinman 3 (it was cheap), 3x3 eyes in ok condition for 50yen, and Son Son II yesterday.

I did, the damn thing actually lights up after POST once windows boots. (I tried seeing if Linux could detect it as well and the pocket linker didn't light up, even when running Kudzu). I may try it on another (older) PC.

I think maybe the parallel port driver modules aren't loaded by default under some distros anymore. At least you got it going though.

Another thing to try is a different parallel port cable. Some of them might not have all the wires, as most devices don't need them I guess. Flash stuff is picky. I have an eprom burner that only works with my laptop if I plug it directly into the back without a cable.

Good to see your back grahf. My US Duo you modded is still going strong. I did have to replace the lens once after all those CD-Rs I fooled with back then. I have quit messing with those for a while now.

Anywho, I bought the Back to The Future: The Game bundle for PS3 from Telltale Games. It is pretty good actually and the actor they hired for Marty sounds just like Michael J Fox. I highly recommend this download. Right now there is only episode 1 out 5 to play, but they release after a month (I hope). The PS3 versions are a little behind on the releases compared to the PC.

Also, Dead Space 2 is really great. It blows the first one away and is the closest thing to playing the movie Event Horizon, lol. Thinking if I should get Heavy Rain or Uncharted 1 and 2 next.

That is the only reason I wanted that one! Afterburner II just isn't as good without a flight stick, and I have never been the biggest fan of Space Harrier. I would have gladly traded both for an arcade perfect port of Thunderblade. That's my favorite "Super-Scaler" game. :) Outrun is a close second. :wink:

Nice!  Some good games there, though Final Fight 2 would probably fall below the others.  I didn't know they made TG magnets.  I have a few stickers like that which I think came with my TG-16 and TG-CD-ROM, but no magnets.

As for Sega Ages, you can put in a code to play Out Run at 60fps which is twice as fast as the arcade version ran.  Also, get a Saturn Mission Stick.  Those things ROCK.  It will make playing After Burner absolutely perfect.  It also works with Space Harrier and makes it just like the arcade as well.  Agreed that the arcade version of Thunder Blade just doesn't get enough love.

You know Joe I noticed during the end game sequence for Outrun where the car is zooming through the first few levels that the framerate shoots up dramatically. I didn't know about the code before, but that makes sense now.

Also, are those Mission Sticks easy to find and not uber expensive? Were they released in the U.S. officially?

They aren't super common and they aren't dirt cheap, but they certainly shouldn't break the bank.  They were indeed released in the US officially.

I'm glad to hear it's still working. I just came back. The lure of the PCE was too strong to resist :D

Well I went ahead and bought Linda3. I found it for a little cheaper than it usually goes for, so I decided to grab it. Also, I saw that the Saturn version is just as pricey. It's easy to justify buying a game when you know it can't be had elsewhere for cheaper. I also picked up the first Xanadu, Nadia - Secret of Blue Water, and Gotzendiener. That one sucks, but I'm kinda like it for some reason.

Phew! You finally got than damned magnet. haha I got scared when I saw the PM from you, but I'm happy you finally received it. :)

For you guys that want to know about it, I got it from a store in Toronto. Just beware that I had a hell of a time getting these magnets and they got my order wrong. I originally ordered one TG magnet for Mathius, one Splatterhouse magnet for me and one Logan's Run magnet for my brother. When my stuff finally arrived, I received two TG magnets and the Logan's Run magnet, but no Splatterhouse magnet. I'm honestly happier with the TG magnet, so their screw up actually worked out in the end.

I had to contact them because the items never arrived after four weeks and the store is in Toronto, so there's absolutely no excuse for that. They responded by saying that the shipment must have gotten lost in the mail. Who knows - probably BS. My items did show up, however, shortly after I contacted them.

Here's their eBay store - Freaks 'n Geeks (http://stores.ebay.ca/FreaksNGeeks)

It doesn't look like they're selling anything right now.  :-k

I got the same TG16 magnet from an ebay seller located in Canada and mine took 4-5 weeks to arrive.

BTW, the Splatterhouse magnet was based off the TG artwork and had a TG logo.

Na he didn't say one way or another. It doesn't include password, and if I ever want to make it to the Wily Tower I am going to have to have a marathon gaming session. Or, just leave my Genesis on for a day or two. You should check out my feedback also on Sega-16.

TRON, when you're done with Final Mission, I'll take it off your hands. I played SCAT on NES and I am curious about the changes that were made. Thanks :)



No way i give up s.c.a.t/final mission it took me a while to find it boxed.Though,the most difference i've heard is the jpn version of (s.c.a.t) is it's more diffcult then the u.s version.

No doubt a gem by natsume though it's weird how they only 'make harvest moon games these days.

Mathius, Outrun is a top 10 game all-time.  Sega Ages is awesome!

That is the only reason I wanted that one! Afterburner II just isn't as good without a flight stick, and I have never been the biggest fan of Space Harrier. I would have gladly traded both for an arcade perfect port of Thunderblade. That's my favorite "Super-Scaler" game. :) Outrun is a close second. :wink:

does it also have the UBERJAMAZINGJAWESOME 60fps mode like the j version?

I think your feedback was good, Mathius.  The price wasn't too horrible.  Usually those repros go for around $50 like previously mentioned so at least you didn't pay THAT much.  I have the real deal, but never really take advantage of the battery since I rarely play Mega Man games for a few stages, especially the Genesis/MD version where there is a slight delay between when you touch the d-pad and when he starts moving.  I think they did that to make it easier to creep towards the edge without falling.  But leaving your Genesis on for days won't hurt it.  Just be sure to turn the TV and mega-stereo sound system off.

As for the Outrun 60fps mode, you have to go to the options screen, highlight Game Mode, then hold A and C and press Left or Right.  You can now choose from Overseas, Japan, Overseas [smooth] and Japan [smooth].  Always choose overseas because the Japan track layout is far inferior.  Unfortunately the Genesis version of Out Run is stuck with the shitty Japan layout.

Who made your repro??? I may want to upgrade one day. :) I agree with the controls. They just aren't as tight in Wily Wars.

Gimmick! is really good.  Haven't gotten time to play the JP exclusive Adventure Island IV yet, but I am excited to!  The other stuff was thrown in as a gift.  I love Japanese sellers.

supposedly Gimmick! had an extra chip in the game cart for extra special sound effects? and probably because it's one of the games towards the Famicom's life so the print run was probably small too

Like i said about gimmick very rare nes/famicom title it doesn't matter,if it's the jpn or pal version either will cost ya.

It was one of the few games that realy pushed the nes to it's limit graphics wise.

It plays really well too.  I like how the graphics take some of the best stuff from Mario 3 and Kirby, which is a good idea since they are 2 of the most classic Famicom games.

Why no love for Adventure Island IV?  Master Higgins is horribly underrated in the 8-bit, fake 16-bit, and 16-bit eras.

I have the Adventure Island IV repro which has been translated. It's not a bad game, but Uforia and Metroid had better gameplay.

What was wrong with your Twin Fami??? Just belt issues I am assuming?

I wish someone would take a shot at fixing my Twin Fami (we have the same color scheme, Ope). Needs the tension spring replaced and recalibrated. Zeta has offered to replace the whole drive, but I would have to buy another FDS. :(

That really is the only gripe in that game.  Fortunately, you get a slight warning from your Dreamcast because you always here it spin up the disc right before you are about to battle.  Sometimes you can quick hit the menu screen beforehand if you need to.

Unfortunately it also has terrible compression on some of the music.  The music is part of what makes this game!

Also Mathius if you want the downloadable content for SoA I've got them and can put them on a VMU if desired.

I say Sega should release this game for DC collections. Seriously though, 2 games you can already download on XBLA and Bass Fishing with a dated dance game???? Come on Sega! Shit's weak!

I would really like to see more games like Shenmue, Dynamite Deka 2, Jet Radio games, Sonic Adventure 2, Phantasy Star Online Revived, etc...

Despite people warning me of Mad-Gear's high prices... when you negotiate in bulk and explain to him how evil gouging is and how overcharging on tg/pce stuff is a 1st class ticket to hell...  his prices got way better :D  So in the end I did pretty good on all of it!

Excellent batch of games there! Down Load 2 has great tunes (even the title screen). Rabio Lepus is quirky but I dig it. It is "underappreciated", in my book. I won't say anything about Neo Nectaris, or the others, but you have some quality fun ahead.

2 rarer Saturn titles, at least in the states, These imports set me back $5 each.  Love Shining the Holy Ark!!

A loose Galactic Attack for the Saturn.  Cost me $8, probably not at all a good deal... probably an impulse buy.  :C  Still, fun game that I didn't own!!

(http://img822.imageshack.us/img822/1836/0328111830a.jpg)

All in all, I spent around $140 in total for everything.  We gave ourselves $300 to spend for the show, My wife snagged some pretty cool stuff, TMNT cell, A wand/pen thingy from the wand makers, and I scored a 'Super DodgeBall' arcade marquee for $10 too.

Had a great time, found some great softs, looking forward to doing it again next year!

Mario Bros. for 7800! One of my all time favorite old-old school games! I wish they would release the ACTUAL arcade game on VC or compilation! I got tired of all the "almost" arcade accurate ones!

I wish I would have taken advantage of some of those loosie PCE games.  ](*,) I was just overwhelmed by all the mint copies. Next year I'll be more patient. Maybe :mrgreen:

not really. users battle usually is around 15000~20000 yens. not really different to the other special hueys (except power league gold).

how many hueys do you have left to go? :)

I picked up one those Hori controllers at a Flea Market but still haven't got around to using it since I only have 1 GC game. Can you use the D-pad instead of the analog stick on games that require the stick?
Title: Re: teh "what did you buy today"-thread
Post by: Mathius on April 03, 2011, 06:29:04 AM
The only non-Game Boy Player games that I know of that will work with the Hori are fighting games. But, I have heard that the Hori is compatible with some VC games on the Wii.

Picked up 2 New Astro City cabs this weekend. One is hooked up with a pc for mame and one has  a Tetris clone PCB in it. I only have room for one in my house so I had to leave the other in the garage. It didn't fit through my door so the first thing I did was tear it apart. It was kind of fun, then I played some Blazing Lazers after I sorted out all the funky wiring the damn past owner did.

Granzort has some nice backgrounds and plays ok.  Decent game but nothing special, not that there's
a lot of choice with the SGX....

LD games get!  I don't have a system to play these on yet, but the price was right. Now I actually have an
excuse to buy a Laser Active.  Nothing says "OBEY" more then playing PC-Engine Laser Disk Strip Poker (Angel Mate).

I bought a 1.5 TB internal SATA hard drive for $49.  Not a bad price!  I now have 4.5 TBs of internal storage plus a 1TB external firewire 800 drive.  And before all of the porn jokes come in, I do lots of creative work so I can definitely use the space.  I don't just use the computer to surf the web and maybe download an occasional JPG or MP3 like most people do.

I'm just a blue collar worker like a lot of people.  I have debt like anyone else :P  I usually generate game funds by doing side jobs (working on cars on weekends) or by working extra days at work to make extra cash.  They've been mad crazy busy at the car dealer I work at and I strictly work on reconditioning / certifying used cars so I've been balls out busy the last few months!  Being that busy has meant some nice healthy paychecks.  They wont last forever, but I'll enjoy em while they last :D

Bought off Yahoo Japan Auctions for 13,000yen.  I think I paid a bit more then it usually goes for, but it looks brand new, so I could care less about the price.  For what's it worth, I was the only bidder.

In other news.... these few months seem to be the months of the monty haul.. so here's the latest that has shown up at the beamer household...

75lbs of gaming goodness (and a little bit of sad since its someone's entire collection)  Details to come, as some of this lot was intended to be spread around some :P

my old victor went up into smoke so I needed a replacement :lol:

the other advantage because of its size, we can bring it to where ever we stay (hotels, ryoukan etc.) and can watch some brought with or rental DVDs and stuff).

In other news.... these few months seem to be the months of the monty haul.. so here's the latest that has shown up at the beamer household...

75lbs of gaming goodness (and a little bit of sad since its someone's entire collection)  Details to come, as some of this lot was intended to be spread around some :P

dude, SMS rocks.  Ys and Phantasy Star were unbelievable on the system... Platformer favorites were Shinobi, R-Type, Outrun.  (Altered Beast was only 1 player).  Plane games my fav was Bomber Raid... Goldenaxe was good though 1 player only.

Always wanted to try Golden Axe Warrior (the Zelda RPG) .. but by then I had sold the system in favor or ....  TG16 !!! 
Man 1990 was the best year :)

Master System is nice.  But Master System 2 is shit.  No card slot, no FM Unit. Looks ugly.
Proper Japanese Master System (built in FM Unit) is the way to go. :)

Title: Re: teh "what did you buy today"-thread
Post by: SuperDeadite on April 14, 2011, 06:38:22 AM
Mark III's are cool, but pricey.  I mean the real Japanese Master System.  See in Japan first there was the Mark III,
it got an FM Sound Unit add-on.

The Japanese Master System looks just like the World Master System 1.  But it has the FM Unit inside it, also has a
port for directly attaching the 3D Glasses (does not require the card slot adapter).

The USA and Europe "Master Systems" are NOT really Master Systems.  They are Mark III's stuck inside a Master System
case.  Only Japan got the true Master System

You should hear the difference in the sound between Japan's Phantasy Star and what the rest of the world got. It's a striking difference!

Yes, it's the same case.  It's just the standard Japanese Master System.
Here's the only comparison video I can find.

I'm assuming this thread is constrained to just video games since I haven't read all 250~ pages, so I can say that I picked up Dragon Warrior for the NES a couple of days ago.  I never had the opportunity to really dig into this game before and I'm really digging it!

As a non-video game purchase, I picked up Gamma World yesterday and am looking forward to gathering a group to play it with.  It looks a bit like a tongue-in-cheek, campy, sci-fi DnD 4e lite.  Which sounds awesome to me so I can't wait to give it a shot!

I have a mark III with FM unit as well a jpn. SMS. great stuff and i like to play on them both.
The mark III alows me to enable/disable the FM, so I can compare each games that supports the FM :)

Only bad thing with the mark III, it does not support the later SMS or MD or any other MD compatible pads.

here some poor recordings i did with mine:

nice warm space harrier FM sounds from the bios2.1

R-Type in FM:

Quite, since the production wasn't that high in Japan. It even was released after the oversea SMS release. And because of the soon coming MD launch, sega didn't put much efforts into the SMS and games anymore, like they still did in the western fields.

Therefore no Vigilante, choplifter remake, Wonderboy III - dragons trap etc.

What I find hilarious is that people do NOTHING BUT PRAISE the SMS's FM sound capabilities yet these same people usually have NEXT TO NOTHING good to say about Mega Drive and Genesis sound.  Personally, I can't stand the SMS FM sounds.  It sounds so thin and empty (still nowhere near as good as NES), I'd rather just listen to the PSG as it sounds more natural and doesn't have those AWFUL FM drums.  The Genesis has far superior FM capabilities if the games themselves are to be judged by.

Unfortunately I have to disagree. Comparing the SMS FM to the NES PSG, very fine. But the SMS PSG is just ear killing cheeping.
The NES had some rad tunes and far superior sound capability than the SMS on PSG.

Sure the MD FM is a totally different story. I believe, nobody tries to put this in question here.

You'll find there is stuff non video game related in this thread mixed in with the gaming.  I love Dragon Warrior. I like the battles even though some might not.

Some new additions  :D

Post by: Senshi on April 15, 2011, 03:30:09 PM
My first impression is the controls are a little stiff and it takes some effort to time the swings of your sword but it is still fun. It requires practice that's for sure but its still a good game. Its not going to flow like say "kaze kiri". It looks real good. Nice variety of enemies so far (no matter how weird they may seem...lol). I've only played the first couple levels since I tried it this afternoon.

I wanted to like this game, but it simply fell flat for me. However, I must admit that I had high expectations (some fool had claimed it was a "Legendary Axe"-killer)...perhaps that is why Iga Ninden Gaou's mediocrity has left such a bad taste in my mouth.

I wasn't a fan of all the in-game text, which I was unable to skip (IIRC).

All I know is I like games by irem and SNK and the one that says Daiva looks like a cool macross image so they can't be all bad.
Also picked up Metal Storm which ROCKS

I Picked up Final Soldier, Super Star Soldier and Bomberman '94 today off hit-japan (ebay) today.  Seemingly very reasonable prices.  Even negotiated a a better shipping cost than his original asking price.  I've owned all of these in the past so I can't wait to play them again!

EDIT: in case anyone's wondering, I paid $39 shipped for all 3, Soldier games loose, Bomberman Card, case and manual.

Good game choices!  Just need to find you a Soldier Blade so you can have the best in the series!

I already have Soldier Blade.  It's one of those game that I will take to my grave - the game is just too awesome! Final Blade and Super Star Soldier I've owned in the past and have sold - I think now they've earned that spot where they are just too costly to buy in the future, so I'm getting them now.

I know this is turning into a weekly occurence... but alas yet another Laseractive haul (are you guys getting sick of this stuff yet?!)  One system, a good PAC-S10, a bad PAC-S1, a good PAC-N1 and an LA branded PCE pad and Sega pad.  And two laseractive remotes to replace the two that got destroyed in the last shipment.  And if that wasn't enough.... some neat minty white PCE accessories!

Probably my last major haul of turbobs for a while.

Street Fighter II
The New Zealand Story
Son Son II
Daisenpuu

These were all in a trade for a spare TurboGrafx console that I had.

Little credit card protectors that also fit Hus.  20 of them for $2 shipped on eBay.

Ys Book I & II - $20.  This is the Turbo Duo pack-in version.  Is it supposed to have a rear insert?

(http://www.jibbajaba.com/images/misc/Finds_042911B.JPG)

Sega Genesis Power Tips Book - About $1.50 on Amazon
The Game Counsellor's Answer Book for Nintendo Game Players - About 75 cents on Amazon
5 issues of Game Player's from the early 90's.  I don't know if there are any LA people here but I picked these up at Frank & Son.  The guy had a while stack for $2 per issue, so I looked through it and grabbed anything that mentioned Turbo games on the cover.  I don't live in LA but I hit up Frank & Son anytime I go down there.

Post by: Jibbajaba on April 29, 2011, 07:51:59 AM
I honestly don't mind the tight fit.  I bought them for all of my loose Hus, and it's easier to flip through them like a deck of cards if the sleeve doesn't have a sloppy fit.  Plus like you said, for $2 shipped you can't complain.

Sucks to hear about the rear insert.  Maybe someone made one that I can print out...

First of all what is that exactly? I remember seeing it before.

Also, funny how it matches the US SNES color scheme more than the SF.

(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/_XRBZYCmgmIg/TbyuHAQOhPI/AAAAAAAADLg/2OhmWMtirpI/s640/110430 Haul.jpg)

Found the electronics kit at a yardsale in my neighborhood this morning.  When I opened up the box, everything was still shrink wrapped!  I asked my neighbor how much she wanted for it (price tag on the box was over $50) and she said I could take it for free!  I gave her a couple of bucks anyway, but still, wow!  I can't wait until my son is a little older to dig into this.

The highlight of my day, though, was receiving the 2 DVD sets of Turbo Views.  They look awesome.  Production quality is through the roof!  I can't wait to dig into these.

I also picked up a handful of Disney Laserdiscs for my son (who is turning 3 next week).  Picked them up for $18.50 (shipped) off ebay. I figured the Laserdisc fans here might get a kick out of seeing them. Most of them are still shrink-wrapped with $29.99 price tags. :p

My next post to this thread will include actual games, I promise! :D

I bought out a local collectors set today. He had been collecting for a long time. He was getting rid of a ton of great games but it as a little sad seeing someone get rid of the things they collected for years. He was cool though and knew they were going to a good home. He had already sold some other stuff on ebay right before I got there so I missed out on some more stuff but I aint complaining. Now I am the proud owner of 3 copies of TV Sports Football  ](*,)
Did get a nice parasol stars and Sinistron is brand new.

Hey Beamer, if you are ever near a computer parts store, you should pick up a cheap $3 6 ft M/F 15 pin VGA monitor cable. It functions as a controller extension cord for the Jaguar.  :mrgreen:

But that would mean I'm actually playing the jaguar.... :P  Good idea though!  I think I've got an extra monitor extension cable laying around.  First I need to figure out a composite out mod on the jag.. just cant stand it over RF.

I actually love my jag. The ports of Wolfenstein 3D and Raiden are pretty good. Not to mention Tempest 2000 and AVP, hehe. Anyway, there do exist composite and S-video cables for the system. They are kinda pricey though. I got my composite cables for $20 shipped about a year ago. It is a HUGE upgrade over the mediocre RF switch. Here is a link to an overpriced auction of one: http://cgi.ebay.com/Jaguar-Composite-Video-Cable-Original-Atari-New-Sealed-/140539700146?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item20b8d1a3b2

Hooray Tron!  I still have my light cycle toy from when I was a kid (orange one - though it's missing the zip cord).  My 3 year old plays with it now, which I think is pretty awesome.  I bought the white "retro Flynn" one seen in the picture above and the hinge on it broke within a couple of weeks...  The orange one is what, close to 30 years old now?  As awesome as it is, I'm a bit bummed that the new one didn't withstand the test of time.  One nice thing about it is that it stands up on it's own, but I wish it was built a little better.  

On a side note, I really want to get the Tron light cycle flash drive: http://www.amazon.com/Dane-Elec-Kevin-Flynn-White-Cycle/dp/B004C5LFZS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1304655435&sr=8-1

Yeah, I had never played the NES version before so I figured I'd give it a shot for $3.  It's not bad so far!  I've only spent about 10 minutes playing each of these games, just to make sure they played properly.  Galaga is one of my all-time favorite arcade games.  I *so* want one of those Ms. Pacman/Galaga cabs.

The NES was one of those systems that I never owned growing up because it was always around, so I have memories of playing Life Force and Blaster Master, but they aren't as etched into my brain as TurboGrafx or SMS games.  Man Life Force is difficult!  I wonder now how as kids we got so much enjoyment out of these games, and I remember why I kicked a hole in my bedroom wall. :D

But then I remember almost always playing these games with a friend or two.  If the game wasn't multiplayer, we'd take turns.  Playing these ridiculously challenging games with a friend makes all the difference.  (and if I thought *I* had a temper playing some of these games, some of my friends would put me to shame!)

Not too long ago, my little brother was in town for the weekend and we got a 12-pack of beer and spent ALL NIGHT playing Super Mario Brothers 2.  That was so much fun.  Dying over and over and over and over again and being able to share that misery and laugh at your buddy for making the exact same mistake as what killed you last is what really makes these games entertaining.  Playing them alone doesn't hold nearly the same magic.

Anyway, there's my random rant for the day...

(I still have a SNES pad that's taped together from being thrown at the wall too many times!)

Hey SuperDeadite, would those switchers work with non-Japanese SCART RGB?  Is it active or passive?  Passive is much better because active requires electronic that can limit your signal quality.  In order for active to be good, they need to have amazing electronics with even more amazing bandwidth.

Well they are non-powered switchers.  And they have optional resistor blocks for devices with strong RGB output (arcade pcbs).  According to one very anal Japanese review, these do add a tiny bit of noise, but I haven't noticed it yet as my eyes suck.  They are specifically designed for Japan.  I don't think Euro cables would work due to voltage differences. 
JP RGB doesn't require any power lines to work.  Unlike Euro which uses a variety of voltage lines for signal auto-detect.

Non-powered is good.  So would you say that all it is basically doing is passing the signal from one end to the output?  If that is the case, I don't see why it wouldn't work.  I suppose you could always open it up and cut the trace to the voltage pin so that doesn't cause any damage (though it shouldn't if it doesn't run through any electronics).

Post by: SuperDeadite on May 13, 2011, 12:23:47 PM
Yes with PCB switches off, it's straight through, full strength signals.  They are not fully wired though, only the R,G,B,S,L,R,Ground lines are connected.  And these lines are completely different pins from Euro.  So unless you
rewire the full thing I don't think it's gonna work.  You could use Euro->JP adapter cables though, tons of them on
ebay.

Monster Lair for the TG16 (arrived new! - thanks Terry!) and Christmas Nights import for the Saturn.  I was looking for some relatively cheap Saturn import to verify that the Gameshark would bypass region blocks.  It does.  Still not a huge fan of the Nights games, but now I have something to play come Christmas time!  I always play Halloween themed games on Halloween - never thought to find Christmas themed games (or other holidays for that matter - maybe I'll have to play Jumping Flash! 2 next Easter).

EDIT: I got Christmas Nights from "hit-japan" on ebay and I've got to say he is a really good seller.  I've gotten a bunch of games off him lately and they were cheap and shipped surprisingly quickly.

Stumbled across a great yard sale today.  Picked up this lot for $4!

(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_XRBZYCmgmIg/Tc8KANZl3_I/AAAAAAAADS4/t1m-2ZT88EA/s720/006.jpg)

The Millenium Falcon is in pretty rough shape, but for $2 I'm not going to complain.  It makes a nice addition to my (growing) Millenium Falcon collection:

(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/_XRBZYCmgmIg/Tc8J989KS7I/AAAAAAAADS0/3BV_t8VDjBc/s1152/008.jpg)

Left-most one - I think this was a Happy Meal toy.  You pull it back and it goes.  What's kind of neat is that it has a "turbo" mode so after it goes a few feet, it really picks up speed.  The Center one is the Transformers one.  It converts into Han Solo and Chewbacca robots!  But it's hard as heck to transform so I usually leave it in spaceship mode.  The Right-most one is a little playset.  It folds open like a clamshell and contains a bunch of mini figures and tiny spaceships.

Thanks!  I had a ton as well when I was a kid and they all disappeared into the past.  I picked those up off ebay a handful of years ago.  I don't remember them coming in different colors, but I ended up with a couple that weren't pink like the rest...  I love that they made a wrestling-themed toy that was overwhelmingly collected by boys pink.  wtf!?

On Wed I strolled into my local Game Exchange to see how they could underwhelm like I do most weeks. Made my usual rounds until I moseyed up to the counter. My eyes widened and my jaw dropped! There in this case was a poor Joe's whole collection consisting of a stack of sealed SNES games, a plethora of hard to find PS1 games, a mountain of minty fresh Genesis games, and rows of Dreamcast games I have never heard of or even knew existed for Sega's 128-Bit console. And to top it all off most of it seemed to be underpriced! I walked out of there with this haul you see here for $35! Needless to say I am going back next week.

Edit- The Star Trek game was bought across the street and not among this find.

You have to admit though, the cover art on the game does grab your attention. I don't think I would have ever spent my leftover change on that game if it weren't for that, hehe. I've seen worse cover art. Just look at the US version of Final Zone II, yeah..

I always loved the cover art for Phalanx. I have never played it though! This copy here, along with Pilotwings, are still sealed but I am thinking about unsealing 'ol Mr. Banjo there. :) I already own PWs so I may keep it under wrap unless I want to study the manual in the bathroom. :mrgreen:

The cover art for the US Phalanx rules.  The Japanese version is completely average in every way.  It could be any game.  But the US version... you KNOW it is Phalanx.  Plus, the Japanese version is way too "phallic" for me.  Just like Neo Geo's Last Resort art.

We may want to call games such as these phallic 'em ups or somethin'. :)

After examining the sealed SNES games I conclude that Game Exchange has a very well done process of sealing their games. There is a "used" price tag under the seal. Fooled me! The plastic feels just like I remember brand new SNES games feeling.

Yes. All of Phalanx was complete and mint inside. Every game this guy sold to the store was in perfect shape! I couldn't believe it! They said they paid the guy around $250 for his collection. If this collection was on eBay it would have probably reached into the high hundreds and maybe even low thousands. I don't know why he sold it to a game store and not a auction site, forum, or Craig's List.

I've had Demon's crest on my "pick up if cheap locally" list and its such an awesome SNES game. The only thing I hate about flea market games is they have the nastiest grime on them and I'll be cleaning this one up later. I haven't played Tales of Phantasia in years so I've been on the look out for this too. It's a lot of fun but I miss the full vocal opening theme.

Found this Playstation at the thrift today. It had this cdr of tony hawk in the tray so I took the $5 risk that it already had a mod chip in it. I brought it home and the burned disc worked great! I know little about the playstation import library so it looks like this one will be put on the back burner for a while. It's pretty clean for a thrift store playsation too, usually they are stacked 5 systems high and beat to hell.

P.S.  Best Buy workers got mad when they caught me perusing the new Lonely Island cd and then I THREW IT ON THE GROUND!!!!

No doubt whilst yelling "I'm not a part of your SYSTEM!"  :lol:

Ebay (for all the haters claiming there's NO DEALS) ;)

And yes I was yelling that frequently while I was escorted out.   :lol: :lol:

Picked this up from a local game shop for $10:

No spine card.  I know, I know... why even bother if it doesn't have the spine card?  I mean, that's what gaming is all about!  Anyway, that's why it was so cheap, no spine card.  Now I just need to get a hold of Xanadu 2.

It does.  Too bad it is in Boulder (about a 40 minute drive or so).  They also had Metal Slug 4 for $285 I think (AES).  They also had Metal Slug 5 but I think that was $385.  Can't remember.  Matrimelee and Rage of the Dragons were there I think as well.

Now I need a tutorial or FAQ for Xanadu because it is completely unplayable if you don't know the language. I mean you can wander around and stuff, but I keep buying weapons that are apparently less powerful than the ones being sold at lower prices, I cannot advance, I cannot sleep at an inn, the day lasts like 45 seconds before everyone goes to bed and I do not understand the differences between the colors of memory.  So far the game kinda sucks my anus hole.

Purchased a modded Duo-R along with a ton of CD and Hu-card games.  Got it from D-Lite.  He added some pretty violet LED lights for power on, RCA jacks in the rear, and a region mod.  Plus whatever else he does to em to service them.  Bought a shitload of games from him to go with the package.  I will post pics once it arrives.  I am pretty stoked about this one.  Gonna set it up right next to my PC Engine Duo.  :)

I was born and raised in Littleton, and lived there til I was 18 (back in 2002) so I used to frequent all the Game Forces and Game Central locations around town.  Actually the Game Force on Broadway just a little ways north of Littleton High School is where I bought my first Turbo Grafx 16 back in 2000 I think.  It was $25 for the system and $5 each for Final Lap Twin, Victory Run and Kieth Courage.  Not sure how many of those stores are still in Business (there were something like 8 or 9 around town I thought)
Title: Re: teh "what did you buy today"-thread
Post by: Joe Redifer on May 22, 2011, 02:56:44 PM
Game Force is still around, but the quality varies by store (Game Forces are franchised and have different owners).  Game Force Boulder is by far the biggest and best one.  You could go in there and spend an hour just looking around at all of the stuff.  The employees know their shit, too.  Game Force on Broadway is gone (if you are talking about the one on Broadway and Belleview).  I remember that they had a crusty, booger-ridden copy of NES Contra, cart-only for $50. in their "rare games" section.  I'm sure they used to be better.  They closed and moved west to Coal Mine and Pierce I think.  Still kind of shitty.  Now that store is gone.

Let me know before you arrive so I can go up and buy all of the good stuff before you get here.  :)

Their TG-16 section is tiny now, mostly Japanese RPGs and sports games.  Sadly those things are hard to come by anywhere.  Poor, neglected PCE.

Hahaha! :D  I'm sure it wont be the same as it was some 10 years ago, but it will be neat for the nostalgic effect.  There are maybe 4 game stores around here... 3 have jack crap.  the other one has a ton of great stuff, but at double ebay prices.

My Laserdisc haul. I also picked up a Pioneer player with the set but it's not in the pics. No LaserActive yet, but maybe down the road. I love movies from the late 70s to early 90s so Laserdiscs are ideal for me. I'll be looking for more Anime, Spaghetti Westerns and Italian Horror films too.

Three different sources, the Turbo games except Dead Moon came from a book store. The SNES and NES stuff and Metroid came from a Play N Trade, Dead Moon was an internet purchase.

I have Snow Bros already (and all other US licensed NES carts), but this was a slight condition upgrade

I had Road Rash bitd for the 3DO I had then. Great game, great soundtrack! Owning a 3DO just for Star Control II is valid though. It can't be overstated just how amazing this game is! Anyone who hasn't tried it please download the freeware version at www.sc2.sourceforge.net/ (http://www.sc2.sourceforge.net/) Be sure to get the voice pack along with it.

BlueBMW, Strip Fighter is actually on my want list...  something about horrible fighting games always appealed to me!  That's why I love all of those horrible Famicom pirate MKs and Street Fighters.

Ope, Bio Miracle is a hell of a FDS game.  I have a pirate version on cart with some guy with his penis out (that is apparently famous in Japan), but the game plays really well.

I actually grabbed this a few days ago. I've bought a few games off this guy (I'm guessing some of you guys have too), they were kind of dirty. I figured this is sealed, and I'm gonna open it to play anyhow.

I find it interesting it isn't listed as Dynastic Hero.

I've been meaning to make one of these posts for awhile so this is about a weeks worth of stuff. :P  First, I'll start with teh OBEY stuff:

(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-ysWnDXUuk8U/TekOt-3QKSI/AAAAAAAADWo/u6FI2OVezug/s720/Misc-Games-110531.jpg)

Found Raiden Trad and R-Type DX at a local used bookstore for $5 ea.  Also stumbled across another copy of Military Madness, which I'll be trading for other OBEY goodness one of these days...

(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-DlE3ZJ61xkg/TekOwR0OAnI/AAAAAAAADWs/ROQOGJL0RDU/s640/Chopsados-110603.jpg)

Received a couple more Chopsados today (Thanks again Chop5!).  Now I can leave one on my Arcade Card Pro and use these for HuCards.  Now on to teh non-obey:

(https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-HtP79eZXPz4/TekOriIESXI/AAAAAAAADWg/BlXx7vGX6Dw/s720/Saturn-Games-110602.jpg)

I've been looking for a copy of Galactic Attack on the cheap for the Saturn for awhile and picked up this lot off ebay for $18 shipped!  Galactic Attack is pure awesome.  The Street Fighter Collection is pretty sweet as well.  Perhaps the diamond in the rough was Skull Fang, though.  That game is insane!  Awesome, challenging shooter.  These all came loose, and I really wish Skull Fang came with a manual (even though it's a Japanese import game) because when I watch the demo I see the ship doing all sorts of crazy things that I haven't figured out how to do yet.  I guess I'll have to hit up gamefaqs or youtube.

Last, and least, I picked this up at a neighborhood garage sale over the weekend for my boy.  The neighbors just gave it to me so I thought that was a pretty good find.  The little one loves it.  The wife, not so much. :)

Another haul in this week:

A boxed Genny 1 and some genny games...
A spiffy old (NIB) joystick that works with basically everything but TG16/PCE.... that will be corrected ASAP!
And lastly, a big green golf ball.  A buddy I work with sold me the car after he got his insurance money for the hail damage it incurred.  Runs perfect, drives perfect, just has dings.  Whoopie!  It'll be a perfect driver while I do the motor swap on my BMW.  And at $1500, I cant complain.

The other day I picked up another copy of Alien Crash, and a CD-ROM2. I asked the lady if it was for sale, and she ended up giving it to me for free. The disk didn't spin, so I figured it was junk. It turns out the the center "demon" gear was still 100% intact, just frozen.  I ended up freeing up the gears with cooking oil, and lubricated everything with margarine. I bullshit you not. I didn't expect the thing to work anyway, but it purred like a kitten. Of course i'll clean it up and lubricate it with something less edible in the future.


It was probably only 50% new (60% tops) when I got it, but this thing is at LEAST 85% new now.

The margarine/vegetable oil will eventually rot.

I've advised against the "Crisco Method" before, and recommend a non-water based silicone grease.

And, yes, if you leave a tub of the stuff open in your garage, the flies won't go near it.

But hey, if it works, :lol:

So this means you will be playing CD-Rom2 games instead of HuCards only? Lol, I remember you telling me you were interested in HuCard games only and me being confused as to why. Definitely start with something like Wind/Lords of Thunder. BTW, my Duo is still running like a champ and in new condition. I have owned it for like 10 years now. To be honest I only put 4 years average on it.

Well I've always had a duo, and have a ton of CD-ROM2 games.  I just said that out of the few games that are available in both formats, I prefer to have the Hucard version. I kinda dislike optical media in general due to how fragile it is, but it's necessary if you want to play some of the best games on the PC Engine. I know my Hucards will probably still work in 50  years, but I worry about my CDs.

Everyone has lost a CD at one time or another due to a random scratch. Even without scratches, longevity is not assured. Case in point: I have two copies of Cosmic Fantasy 1, and both have laser rot. It's rare on CDs, but does happen. Not to mention the actual CD drives themselves....   Anyway, there's no sense worrying about it.

I came across one of the ASCII sticks the other day for ￥200 (about $2.50!). It's basically the equivalent of the NES Advantage, which was also an ASCII stick. It's an OK joystick, but I think I'll mod it with a Sanwa stick.

It works OK, but even joysticks aren't safe from the dreaded "bad capacitor plague"! It acts super funky when it's cold. The turbo fire takes a second to start... turboing when you press the button. And weirdest of all, the UP direction doesn't work unless you press the II button first! If you hold the II button in for a second, UP will work for about 5 seconds. After it warms up for a few minutes everything works perfectly, which tells me that the caps are dry.

All the JPN saturn stuff.. the xeye, wonderswan and border down came from oldschoolgamer.  It was a cash / trade deal so its hard to say exactly what I paid for border down.  Though I know that during negotiations that Border down wasn't considered cheap.

I bet! I'd love to get my hands on a copy plus get a Japanese Dreamcast someday. BTW- I have that same exact Saturn pad and it is nearly the best controller on the face of the earth!

Is that stick made by ASCII?  Is the NES advantage also made by ASCII?  I know Camerica made a knock-off.
Yeah, this one has an ASCII logo behind the stick ball. It's my understanding that ASCII made the Advantage, but I never verified it myself. ACSII's logo is right on the front of the Super Advantage though.

Kabuki Quantum fighter is very fun and challenging, it is one of my favorite NES games. At the end it leaves you hanging with a "see you soon in the next episode" or something but sadly there was never a sequel. Nice Votoms score too, I haven't watched that in years

MIDI PAC is output only.  It just grabs the audio data before it hits the FM chip and generates
a MIDI Control file to send to a Midi synth module.

My cousin recently returned from a trip to Japan.  When she left I jokingly mentioned on her fb page to pick me up a PC-Engine game while she was out there.

So completely unexpectedly, a package arrived in the mail today from her containing these:

(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-xAgE__C8wLA/Tgoo4F6WCgI/AAAAAAAADcc/kDM181N_At4/s800/IMG_5583.jpg)

Clockwise from top-left: Far East of Eden - Kabuki Den, Master of Monsters, Space Harrier, Space Battleship Yamato.  What a pleasantly unexpected surprise!  Aside from Space Harrier these games are very text heavy, so I guess this is a hint that I should give another go at learning the language (at least enough to work the menus!).

Awesome.  I didn't know a US version was released.  I'll have to look into it to see if the menus are the same.  That sure would help a lot! :)

Aha, I see they also created Dai Senryaku VII.  I've got that for the Xbox.  Haven't dug into it a whole lot but I picked it up because it sounded a lot like Military Madness, which I love.  Cool!

Just based off of the artwork. :)  She had never heard of Space Harrier before, but loved the cover artwork for it!  I don't know exactly how old she is, but I would guess he's roughly about as old as the Space Harrier HuCard is.   Digging through this stuff must have felt like looking through ancient relics for her or something.  :mrgreen:

But it has no obi.  Probably disintegrated from the radiation.  Actually this copy came from a US seller.  Its kind of interesting... it has 6 pairs of 3d glasses you can punch out and use or apparently you can use the lcd goggles.  I guess you have multiple choices.

Just got Puyo Puyo from Hit-Japan and picked up the second Dune book at a local bookstore.  I loved the first book so I can't wait until I get to this one.  The bookstore also had Gradius III and Thunder Spirits for the SNES for $7 ea and I'm thinking about going back and getting those...

Good luck with that.

I have a similar situation on my hands too.  I won Wings of Wor for Genesis and the seller ships me Risk for Genesis instead.  The 'Risk' of ebay. ](*,)

Indeed it is.  I don't know if I played much Dune, but I played Dune II on the PC a ton.  It is one of my earliest PC gaming memories (though I played a lot of Jumpman years earlier).  Dune is like the great grandfather of all RTS's.  Anyone that's a fan of the genre should check out the Dune games. 

But then I got Civilization and pretty much stopped playing other games for a little while. :)

not 'buy today' but I went to my mums house for lunch today and had a dig around at my old stuff in the attic. Some good finds... I forgot to take a picture of the boxed mario paint with mouse and mat.

There was also a snes with some carts and a gamecube with a few games. There was also some board games - space crusade! wicked sick! I had the game on the amiga and I used to love playing it.


SUPER SCOPE - I have not actually ever used this but it all appears to be there. I have the cart that it comes with and also another game for it called Battle Clash

(http://i1115.photobucket.com/albums/k549/simonallgrove/IMG_0021.jpg?t=1310309726)


Can anyone identfy what this is? It is some sort of a bootlegg cart i think. Not sure if it is compatable with the NES maybe? Or possibly a special console made for such things?

(http://i1115.photobucket.com/albums/k549/simonallgrove/IMG_0016.jpg?t=1310309708)


Arcade pad, Snes gameboy converter and game genie

(http://i1115.photobucket.com/albums/k549/simonallgrove/IMG_0015.jpg?t=1310309865)




6 Jap horse racing Snes games. I like the artwork on some of these, never played any of them though...

(http://i1115.photobucket.com/albums/k549/simonallgrove/IMG_0014.jpg?t=1310309835)





And last but certainly not least... my Sufami Turbo with 2 games. Love it.

Title: Re: teh "what did you buy today"-thread
Post by: Sleepy Gnome on July 10, 2011, 04:47:05 AM
a sufamo turbo is somthing that was made for the snes. you plug it into the cart slot of your snes and then put a little game in the top of it. the idea was that any two games could be mixed together and the characters for one game would become available in the other game etc. it would effect the game in some way.

it didn't take off and the sold a few of them and apparently ended up destroying the rest of the stock because no one wanted it!

They were only released in Japan. They are quite rare now but there is usually one or two on the UK ebay and they dont go for crazy money.

As the Canada Post strike/lock out ends and stuff slowly rolls in, the games showed up in the last week.
Chew Man Fu was $30, Air Zonk was $15, Pomping was $10 and SFII was only $2.50!
Still waiting for Hellfire S to make it's way east from BC...

Bought the Kidrobot figs locally and got the Bender I wanted but not the Zombie Homer... (sorry Moe but it's true )
It was the last Simpson's box so I'll have to wait for a restock.

HOW FAR CAN YOU INVADE OUR SCRAMBLE SYSTEM?

Yes, it's an official port of the Konami arcade game.  It's a really nice port, it has real levels,
and an actual end (though it loops forever).

a sufamo turbo is somthing that was made for the snes. you plug it into the cart slot of your snes and then put a little game in the top of it. the idea was that any two games could be mixed together and the characters for one game would become available in the other game etc. it would effect the game in some way.

it didn't take off and the sold a few of them and apparently ended up destroying the rest of the stock because no one wanted it!

They were only released in Japan. They are quite rare now but there is usually one or two on the UK ebay and they dont go for crazy money.

Blue Breaker is an excellent game, but it's quite complicated, so use the FAQ.
The personality simulation is nuts.  Each girl has her own P.M.S. cycle, and even
gets jealous of the other girls.  Game is totally nuts!

Got a bitchin upgrade board for the Fresh:

Still not as smooth as the arcade.  But it's very playable now, and very enjoyable. :)
Ultima Underworld now runs at 60fps, so smooth!  The Sega ports are insanely fast now.
Normally if you let them sit on the menu for about 30 seconds, they enter demo mode. 
Now it enters demo mode after about 5 seconds. LOL.  Turbo Outrun is now faster then the
original arcade, total insanity but still totally playable.  f*cking awesome!

True, but as far as I know it's still the best port ever released.  And no way in hell I'd spend the 70,000yen
the pcb sells for these days.  Towns Galaxy Force II is also a big downgrade from the arcade, but I prefer
it over the Saturn version, just so smooth.

I have no veccy either, so you aren't alone.

Up at UTD all last week, I got to check out the store by the Midnight Madness or whatever card/comic/rpg game/hobby shop, Games FX iirc. They had a nice varied selection, and the prices were fair. Some games were slightly under priced, some slightly over, but nothing stood out as insane.

They had two tg-16 games even, though it's not like I haven't seen my share of loose Keiths in the wild. The other was a loose Andre Kick Boxing whatever. They also had an oddly large selection of 3do games, including that Street Fighter 2 port it got and the shitactular cheesefest that is Way of the Warrior. I almost grabbed the $10 loose Final Fight CD they had, but I wanted more than I had the money I felt comfortable spending, so it didn't make the cut.

I grabbed a loose Herzog Zwei and Starflight for genny, and a complete Star Ocean: Second Story for psx. Starflight was a game I got on a hunch that it was one of the games I remember my dad renting and watching him play for hours on end.

I had done this once before, but this time the gamble paid off. $10 was probably slightly overpriced for the game, but it was well worth it to reclaim a piece of my childhood. It's a surprising deep and open ended game on the genesis; it's one of the early games from EA's beginning days, and I believe it's a port from pc.

Star Ocean was one of the games I always saw for $20 complete at Gamestop and EB Games when they still carried psx games (and nes, snes, genesis, etc), but never had enough money for it after the other games I was after first.

Then Gamestop stopped carrying "retro" games, ate EB shortly after, and collectors started focusing on US psx rpgs more and more for a while, driving up the asking price for a lot of them. Star Ocean 2 was one such casualty, but thankfully it has gone back to the value it previously, steadily held after the psp remakes/ports of the first two star oceans came out: $20-$30. I wouldn't have paid the $60+ it commanded for a short while, but I think it was well worth the $25 I paid for a complete copy.

And then the $11 Herzog Zwei, I think speaks for itself by now. I've never played it beyond a few moments in an emulator, but I'm looking forward to digging into this game of legend and yore. I can definitely see why it didn't go over too well in 1989, the game is confusing as hell the first time jumping in, and it's like nothing else of it's time. Speaking of...how exactly DO you play the game? I need to look up the manual for it or something...

Can't wait to dig into Startling Odyssey II using the translation patch, and that's a brand new copy of Brandish which I subsequently opened and drooled over. Also picked up Earth Defense Force 2 and R.A.D. (sooo underrated) for PS2 and found Thousand Arms for $20. Lastly, going to feed the PC some space shooters...and thanks again RR1980 for Hellfire S!

I brought these but forgot to check if the xbox games are forwards compatable. Sadly Capcom Classics is not (yet), which is a real shame as there are some excellent games on there I was looking forward to playing. I was even thinking of getting an arcade stick to play them with (22 in total including Super Ghouls and Ghosts). Hope fully they make it compatable with the 360 one day.

The Temco Disk has the excellent Temco Bowl (never been an american football fan but that game rocked) and a few others worth mentioning (11 in total) on it and thank god it is forwards compatable.

I loved time splitters two on the gamecube and Time splitters 'Future Project' is the sequal so looking forward to giving that a shot at some point.

Another TG game as well. Pac Land - in factor seal. Nice.

loved that game. four player mode was great espically when you did the virus mode thing and you could create your own map with a really long corrodor with four big machine guns at the end and just sit there and mow down the 'infected' as they ran at you. eventually they would overpower you but just due to a stupid move by one of the team. i used to fricking love time splitters II.

Sadly if the game is not compatible with the 360 it likely never will be. The good news is that an original XBOX console can be had for cheap...check your local pawn shops you can get one for around $20.

Depends on which version Tats.  The original "Rental Version" is typically 8,000-10,000yeners.
The "Normal Release" is around 3,000 usually.

$3.00 at a rummage sale... lol
Sorry for the grainy pics, took them with my iPhone.
21 games, 2 joysticks, paddles, and touch pad controller, Radio Shack RF adapter, original atari system manual, 3 of the DC Comics "Atari Force" comics, catalogs, addendum papers, etc.

All games have manuals. Everything looks like near to new with no discolor, blemishes, or tears. Only Air Sea Battle has some small peeling on the end label and the plug that connects to the RF adapter is a bit chewed up. Three games hidden at the bottom of the case are Missile Command, Bowling, and Trick Shooting
Item in the small clear bag is a resistor I guess for the Radio Shack RF adaptor or it could be a left over from the original Atari RF Adapter. Not sure really.

This thing must have been sitting in an attic for a LONG time.


EDIT: Forgot about the Mattel Electronics 1977 handheld Football game I got for 25 cents and it works. Woo!

Title: Re: teh "what did you buy today"-thread
Post by: SuperDeadite on July 27, 2011, 01:24:32 AM
Not even RR.  Zapping is an actual 2 hour long European movie.  It's a very experimental film.  Basically it was aired on 2 stations at once.  One station showed the movie from the guy's perspective, the other station should the movie from the girl's perspective.  The idea was that the viewer could switch between the 2 channels at will to switch perspectives whenever they wanted.  Each channel had totally different scenes and the idea was the viewer was the director.

The LD version here uses the MegaLD hardware to achieve the same effect.  It's basically 2 videos playing in real time, and you use the controller to switch between them instantly.  There is no delay at all, it's as quick as really switching TV channels.  It also allows you to save what scenes you've chosen to watch, so you can show friends your own personal "director's cut".

But yes it is 100% movie, no game at all.  Probably why it only cost me 980yen. :)  The movie itself would probably be rated NC-17 these days.  It's really disturbing, serial killer, suicide, narcotics, a total brain f*ck.  The whole thing is a really unique experiment, film buffs would totally dig this one.

Yes ope, it's the one from Yahoo.  First time I've seen it less then 10k. :)

When I was a UB student, ate a lot of Mighty Taco.  It was good for filling up on lots of tacos, but
the Taco Bell Quesidiazs were way better then anything at Mighty.

Typically though it was all about Duff's wings, and Ted's Hotdogs.  Ted's onion rings were incredible.
For non fast food it was all about the local Beef on Wack with lots of kraut.  Buffalo had some great food,
but too much damn snow.  Buffalo should move to Japan already.

I miss how Taco Bell tasted back in the late 80s and early 90s. Same with Pizza Hut. When Pizza Hut started using red onions on their pizzas instead of white onions that's when I started giving my business to other chains. Their reasoning is that red onions look better. Pizzas with white onions taste much much better. It drives me crazy. [-(

Actually, I know that Jim Power is known to be bad but I'm going to go against the grain...I love this game. The controls really aren't that bad. The one hit kills might get annoying if you like to rush through levels, and the jumping takes some getting used to. But I find the game enjoyable enough to play through...I haven't beat it yet though. There is also a cheat mode that can add to the fun, but I want to try to beat the game before messing around with it.

If you want to talk horrible controls...Slime World takes the win. What a slug-fest. I had high hopes for this game too.

No, this version has a track for every level as well as boss music...and it is a surprisingly good soundtrack. Check out the music for level 3, it's my fav:

And I just checked out the Mega Drive song which ironically is the same as the song for Level 3.  :D

But check out the other Jim Power songs posted by the same youtuber....good stuff.

They were omitted to save on shipping from japan.  It was a random grab bag deal someone was doing on another site.

It came with Tecmo world cup 96 and top player golf. Its got a MVS one slot pcb inside but its faulty.

I cant make my mind up if its an original NEO GEO cab or not.

I have seen Kitkit's sale thread and he had nice games for good prices but nearly all of the CD games I was interested in were without the Spine  :(.
Some games on the pics come from Yahoo & some come from an Austrian collector (Nexzr, 1941, Rayxamber III & Space Invaders CD).

Well I didn't buy it but for my Birthday today my brother got me 27 turbo grafx games and one pce game. He bought them at a local game store all for $10. I went in that store once a week for the entire summer and never found anything, but the one time I didn't go with him some collector unloads all his games on the store.

Some of the titles include
Air Zonk w/ Manuel
Adventure Island w/ manuel
Splatter house complete
Sintron Complete
Raiden complete

Needless to say when he put them all in front of me I almost cried. I'll post pictures of all of them sometime this week.

Just now traded a pawn shop owner two NES pads which I paid four buck for the pair at a Goodwill and five dollars cash for a new in box Acemore Super Stick for my Turbo. Not sure if it was a good deal or not, but it goes well with the new in box Super Stick I bought at a flea market last year for $3. Aside from the grinding and squeaking the stick makes when you move it around, I think the controller works rather well. Box has seen better days though.

Nice pick-ups! Both the Acemore Superstick and Beeshu Ultimate Superstick are hard to find and rarely pop up on ebay. Great collectors pieces to have of which very few people talk about here. I think I paid between $15-20 for CIB each so you definitely did well. I am not fond of either controller. The stick on the Acemore is a little too rigid for my tastes and the beeshu stick is a little flimsy. But the latter is one sexy looking controller. Out of all of the T-16 controllers, the Turbo Stick is still my fave.

My main man Dalder send me this boom parcel from the states and it arrived recently. Managed to get a few games I've after for a while, plus copped a few of the cheaper ones he was offering to make it my best TG bundle to date. Cant wait to get some time and sit down with a few beers and a lot of spare time and play these.

I am most looking forward to Neutopia and Splatter house. Never played either before so i'm popping my cherry here folkes.

Thats it for me, no more TG purchases until I time find to play the ones I got already!!!!!!!!!

Cheers Dalder.

Made a little road trip today to pick this up!  $20* off ebay, and about $50 in fuel to get it home.  Sold to me as "not working"

Got it home, powered it on... heard sound but no picture.  Found a wire loose on the back of the screen, resoldered it and got picture again.  The picture is fuzzy most of the time, so probably time for a cap change on the screen board.  The controls are worn out, so they'll need replacement.  And lastly the coin mech was all jammed up with $3 in quarters and other coinage hehe.  Fixed that.  So for $17, we have an almost fully functional single slot MVS conversion cab! :D  Came with Magical Drop 2 lol.

sad thing is I never actually opened these, as I figured I wont until I have time to play it.. now with my kiddo on the way, these 2 will stay that way for a while...

just curious I looked up my old records on how much I spent on these 2 bazzys.. man, I was really hot/insane for them...
 $265.80 USD avg each for both from last year.  (44,685 yen).. yikes!  how did I even talk my wifey into it?  can't remember..

OPE - btw, I talked to Blue Beamer.  He and I worked out a trade for my bundle but I told him to hook you up for the Soldier Blade - contact him :)  He said he'll hook you up!  I guess this is the best win-win-win situation for us all.  :)

Made a little road trip today to pick this up!  $20* off ebay

Nice. Grab a new flyback/cap kit, some Happs super8's and comp buttons you'll be good to go. Looks like a Dynamo cab...does the control panel flip down and slide out? Did someone drill the "A" button? I bet is has 6-on-the-face factory button holes below the plexy.

That is some butt simple wiring, but's all there...transformer, fliter, fuse and PSU.

Nice Bazzys, J.T.  Is that a mouse pad in the middle?  That'd be a cool thing to have on my desk, but I'm running XP so it probably wouldn't work.  :)

Post by: Sadler on August 17, 2011, 01:18:40 PM
I mentioned to a friend that I bought an FC Twin last weekend and he asked me if I wanted to buy his SNES collection. Initially he said $25, but went up to $40. I think what I got out of it is worth it though. Almost everything came with box (generally in great condition) and manual. Plus there was some NES stuff in there!

Here's an overview of the haul:

(http://i51.tinypic.com/insmjn.jpg)

Here's a close up of some of the SNES games, including a boxed Mario RPG and Zelda 3 :D
(http://i54.tinypic.com/2a5cfmo.jpg)

Here are SF2, SF2 Turbo and SSF2. With my Fighting Street and PCE SF2, this is a decent SF2 collection :D

(http://i55.tinypic.com/24eu8ee.jpg)

Finally, here's the NES stuff (not including game genie):

(http://i54.tinypic.com/id7w61.jpg)

Not bad for $40!

Thanks Bartre for the SMS games!


Wow - OPE:  I've never heard of that Golvellius game.. looks cool!  is it a RPG?  The SMS was my first deep love after Famicom.  Brings back memories.  Phantasy Star 1 was the sheit.. I remember getting up in middle of night secretly to battle around gaining experience points, powering up Alice, Myuu, Odin and Noah.. hahha.

yeah, golvellius was good, one of the games i played most on my sms.
that said, i didn't play my sms much, so i never beat golvellius...
also, is it just me, or is double dragon way harder on sms?

After a few (3 on Yahoo, 1 at a forum, 1 really cheap at Ebay US) missed Motteke Tamagos I found it as BIN on Ebay France for 100 Euro. Not the cheapest but not the most expensive either I would say.

Here we go with another unique console I just got in yesterday.  After I test it out, and see if its worth it, I may buy another just for a raffle here.  They are made by Atari, and seem to be built pretty good.  I just havent fired it up yet.  Only thing I do not like is the system only has 40 built in games, granted they are nice games to have.  But the not being able to play the 2600 carts is a small turn-off for me.

I love me some L4D.  I don't know if the Xbox 360 version contains the "Crash Course" campaign (I think it was a free addon in the Steam version) but it is just about perfect to play with a few buddies who need a quick break at the office.  Me and a few guys at the last place I worked at would play it on a regular basis to see if we could get through it in 15 minutes.  16 was the best we were ever able to do, but it was normally less than 20.  Perfect way to break up the day.

The "Dead Air" campaign has one of the coolest end levels.

Super cool case grahf! 

I agree with the spine-master.  Gold OBI is most likely the 2nd print.  Cool find.

I picked up a Hudson Bee Card case. It fits the Ten No Koe Bank and Street Fighter II perfectly. The Arcade Card Pro is a bit too thick though.

Just on a side note, when I was in college I worked at a Drug store/convience store with a photo lab. They had a Gretag MasterLab machine that saved the chemical data on a Neo-Geo compatible memory card.

Yep.  It's fairly thick plastic, a tiny bit thicker than a CD case.
Actually, a nice case for HuCards are PCMCIA cases. Those old expansion cards that used to be the standard on laptops. They're exactly the same size as a hucard, except about twice as thick. You can fit two normal HuCards, or one thick one. But of course, they don't have have a luxurious Hudson logo on them :D

Have fun beating that Salamander.  Without question it's the hardest version of the game.  Much tougher then
even the arcade version.  Oh, and be sure to get yourself a copy of Gradius 2 as well.  You can't get Salamander's
true ending without it.

I stopped off at one of the few remaining Blockbusters in Canada and they were up to 70% off the entire store and they had some decent stock left....so i stocked up on a few ps3 games.... after the discount the cheapest was $3 and highest was $15  8)

Lol I beat Crysis 1 a couple years back when I built a Crossfire HD 3850 rig. Not a bad game at all. Beat Crysis 2 when it came out for pc also on my newer Crossfire system. It ran pretty smooth even on a single card, but even my sons Athlon II X3 435/Radeon HD 4830 system handled the game well on medium settings @1440x900. Crysis 2 kinda looks and runs like ass on PS3. So does Alice. (http://) The Pc release of Alice curb stomps the console ones with way better visuals,fps, and Physx support. Really to be expected though. Consoles are based off of 5+ year old tech, and the PS3 Nvidia gpu is already a bit weaker then the older Xbox 360 AMD Xenos gpu. I need to sit down and do a run through of Alice on my SLI rig. One day soon I hope....

I was running on a crossfire system with two 6850 cards which was fine for running on a single screen, but I have a 3 screen setup that I like to use whenever possible and Crysis is one of those games that actually supports ultra wide resolutions.  It only choked on the final boss battle :D  Guess I need to try some of these newer games...

ya guys those 2 games i was surprised to see with a 70% store wide sale... but i had to ask if there were any other ps3 games as they were behind the counter :) Once i finish with Resistance 3 and Singularity i will be onto Alice, suppose to be a good game.

and "Prof" i will  let you know how she runs, but like you said its really hard to beat a PC for gaming.

I will make peace with the JP version of Dynastic Hero  :wink: :wink:
Been wanting to playing Afterburner II and Atomic Robo Kid forever too!
Vigilente will bring back my childhood arcade memories.
Ranma is awesome and the best digital comic ever made, great to polish up my Japanese too with full menu and speech  8-[ 8-[
Lastly, Quiz Shashin is one mofo-rare game!!  Glad to finally found it  :mrgreen: :mrgreen:   <-- Henry - you wanted this too right?? maybe we can work something out...  8)

I'd like try out Prehistoric Isle sometime! Really need to get a CMVS.

as do I, any clue on how much $$$ they usually go for?

So Prehistoric Isle 2 is a shooter?! :shock:  must find.....

Yes PI2 is a shooter and a pricey one since it's mvs only and it can reach $100.00+ some times.

I have it think choplifter+dinosaurs.

PI2 is rather meh IMO.  Its extremely easy, some parts look really ugly. 
For an MVS only shooter its ok, but its weak for what it sells for.

After playing Nexzr this evening (and getting my ass handed to me by the 3rd stage boss) I am just...wow! Spriggan was my fave PCE shootie, but now it may be Nexzr. Great graphics, music, and gameplay really make this game shine like few can even come close to achieving. In the past I figured since Nexzr was so expensive and rare that a lot of its legend may be do to hype. For those in the dark (like I was previously) believe it! Wait for a good deal and jump on it!

I don't know why but Nexzr reminds me of Blazing Lazers. For me it's like playing a sequel to BL, and that's cool.  8)

Robo Aleste is a great tide-me-over until I can get my hands on MUSHA. Solid game but the levels are kinda long, and minor enemies take too many hits, but an otherwise great game.

I was really lucky to find a Nexzr in minty fresh shape w/ spine and regs. The graphics are just amazing especially coming off some of the chip shooters.

Musha is also one of the best in the series. Definitely stick to using the laser beam and bomb weapon if want to kill stuff quicker in Robo Aleste. I love the soundtrack and the little cut-scenes to add to the atmosphere of the game. Doesn't have as vibrant graphic as Musha though. I picked mine up in '96 from Babbages for $15 :o) . My friend got Cobra Space Adventure for the same, which he just gave to me later on.

BTW, Nexzr is a biaaatch!!! I can't get through the third stage to save my life. Why do they make some of these games soooo hard? It is actually kinda ridiculous. I hate seeing great games almost ruined by ridiculous challenge. Try Art of Fighting 2 on the Neo Geo and you will see what I really mean. Just crazy man!!!

Chris Bucci said of Daimakumura that it was "frustratingly addictive," where you keep coming back for more and make progress bit by bit. I would label Nexzr as having that same addictive quality. I am up to the 3rd stage boss and I am sure to triumph eventually. :twisted:

If ya wanna join, go to Mindrec (http://turbo.mindrec.com/), click on the 'subscribe' link on the left hand side, and follow the instructions for whichever version you want (unless it's an automated response system, it'll probably take a while).

It may only have 5 SGX games for it, but add a super cd-rom drive and an arcade card, and you have 700+ games spanning hucards to CDs. :dance: Justifies the purchase me thinks... :wink:

that said, i grabbed Superman 64, Mortal Kombat 64, and No More Heroes Heroes Paradise yesterday, and they are all fun
fun being relative of course, as superman is a pos.
NMH is actually more fun on ps3, though i do wish i had the move.

didnt realize that collection was out on US I gotta snag that one!

Was on sale for $25 (from $40) at Best Buy....prob ends today, not totally sure though.

Thanks for the sale heads up, probably just snagged it in time (Sunday 3:27 AM).  Was going to wait because I am a little behind on my new games, but at that price, it can sit on my shelf for a little bit.

Sale started Sunday as far as I can tell.  It is still on sale and will most likely run till Sat before the next Sunday Ad.  Nice haul Blue!

Posted this on a couple of other game-centric forums a few days ago:

Today, I picked up a minty non-TMSS High Definition Graphics Genesis for $14.99 at a local shop.

This baby looked like it came straight out of the box with nary a scrape or scratch. The power button has a nice solid click when you power it on and the volume slider is nice and firm (no button wiggle).

Model 1 is the better sounding IMO. Here is MN12BIRD's video that offers more info.


I am not sure how some of those YTers commenting on the first vid can argue that the model 2 is better. I understand what they are saying, but hearing both samples the model 1 sounds much clearer.

Youtubers just like to troll.  Experience with the subject of discussion is not necessary.  They also are over-dramatic about everything.  I learned this a few days ago when someone accused us for "f*cking up" by not including the shitty Vectorman games in our run and gun video.

Snagged Lego Star Wars III: The Clone Wars for the PSP as part of a Toy's R Us buy-two-get-the-third-free sale.  Two games for my nephew for his birthday and one goody for me!

edit:

Forgot about this one, but a nearly new copy of Circus Lido showed up in my mailbox on Friday.  Not a great game by any means, but little Leon is cute enough that I wanna help him fend off all the buggies and rejects from Little Shop of Horrors.

Yea they don't seem to get down like in the old days.  Either way though this is the only time I'll get to them live.  Cannot pass up.  Picked up good balcony seats for $35 a pop.  For SF that is a STEAL.  Can't wait!  I use to live in GA btw and my wife is from there.  ATL was my playground, mostly the Buckhead District near Peachtree St.  Good times.

I came to the Opeth party pretty late a few years back, so I started with listening to Damnation and Ghost Reveries.  I swear their mellow stuff is life changing.  Perfect music for being outside with an iPod and enjoying the fall weather.

I picked up Orchid and Morning Rise, and wow yea, they were a different animal back in the day- loving it, but definitely different.

Ope is your SN paying homage to the band?

Turbo/Ope the concert was EXCELLENT last night.

Katatonia who opened for them were equally outstanding.

My favorite song by them by far is by far a Fair Judgement, which they did play last night.  They also played Still Life and Porcelain Heart which was KILLER live.

Wife and I had a great time.  The music does really speak to you.

Agreed. The framerate is smoother and the tunes are more atmospheric. But, if you only have the SNES version that is better than nothing. Play through it first, then get the Genesis version. It'll feel almost like an upgrade.

(http://i1112.photobucket.com/albums/k482/blindell/IMG_5464.jpg)

One of those Duo consoles is on its way to BlueBMW for some cap service and modding.  :)  The other one has already had its caps replaced.  Both units are in MINT condition.   :D

Keep your eyes out for a raffle sometime soon from me.  A region modded PCengine Duo with AV jacks in the rear.  This unit has already had its caps replaced as well.  Fellow member Dlite performed all the services on this one.   :mrgreen:

Your battery is alive and fine.  When Sega suicide batteries die the processor can't even read the ROM chips, meaning you get a black screen of nothing.  Your game boots, so the crash means something else is wrong with it.  What I have no idea, but I'd personally start by reseating all those sub boards myself.

Both games are pretty fun, but right now I'm favoring Tiger-Heli.  Is Star Force related to the Star Soldier series?  It feels awfully reminiscent of Star Soldier on the NES (minus the lack of powerups).   I love the happy tunes.
Title: Re: teh "what did you buy today"-thread
Post by: Mathius on October 23, 2011, 02:34:04 PM
Star Force does have a lot of similarities to Star Soldier but they are unrelated. Tiger Heli was developed by our friends at Toaplan makers of Tatsujin/Truxton, Ultimate Tiger (PCE), Batsugun, Sky Shark, etc.

I believe you are correct.  The DC version apparently has 3d rendered mid backgrounds while the arcade version is static flat backgrounds.

The board isnt powering up, but the audio pcb and monitor does. Thinking it's a power supply issue. The player 1 joystick had sunk into the machine (already fixed). But for $50, it's a steal.

Asia pacific for sure.  I will have to do with my pce :).

I did manage to finally get an upscale scart to hdmi convrrtor on my us trip and tried out my doujindance modded scsrt duo i picked up last year finally.  It failed at 1080， but 720 works.  Though with notable audio lag that i found if i reroutrd to a sepearare amp instead of hdmi audio, it becomes non noticable.  My sister was in town last week and it was freqking fun plqying bonanza brothers and bomberman with her on the 37inch hd tv.  Talking about reliving the childhood- we used to do bomberman all the time.

Any of you guys know other ways to improve the upscale hdmi lag issues?  beams- any hardware trickery you know since ur the master at this ;) ??

Converting analog to digital will always give lag.  Best to use analog to analog.  Meaning, RGB-> VGA.  Get an XRGB.  Lagless and beautiful.

I've never even heard of Meijer. For the past 2 years, I found the Monster cereals at Target but I haven't been around there lately. I stopped at Big Y and Wal-Mart with no success.

The Pebbles Boulders had a strong Caramel Apple scent as I openend the box and poured the cereal into my bowl. It definitely tasted like caramel apple but it was weird having it be crunchy in cereal form.

Thanks you. :) I've been really digging my TG16 since I got it earlier this year, just recently traded some stuff for Bonks Revenge and Ordyne, both of which have been eating up a lot of my spare time. :P And figured I'd join the site since I've heard it mentioned numerous times over at AtariAge and what better place to get recommendations on games then a forum dedicated to the subject. At the moment I'm really hoping my next buy will be a region modded Duo-R sometime in the near future. I found the site of a guy who sells him but sadly haven't heard from him in a while. :/

There are a few guys on here that deal in Duo-Rs. Post a WTB thread in the PC Engine sales forum. I recommend a guy that goes by the name Keith Courage.

We had Shop Rite but they all went out of business. Here's a short list of gems that we lack: Chick-Fil-A, Sonic, Waffle House, Steak N Shake, In and Out Burger.

I live in Jersey and we have ShitRites up the ass. We also have Sonic(FINALLY) and if one opens up near you, GO! They are HIGHLY recommended! I wish we had a Waffle House over here. I'm a wrestling fan(obviously) and I've heard NUMEROUS stories about that place.....

Hoobs Meijers is a chain in the midwest.  I got to know about it when i went to college at the univ of michigan ann arbor.  As students we aleays drove there to pickup stuff.  I remeber even using the now defunct priceline bid-ur-own price card there to get gas and groceries!!!  My how fast times go by.  At least TG/pCe is eternal awesomeness :)

I went to an Ultra Food grocery store near my house. They had Franken Berry and Boo Berry on display.

Turbokarma has been in overdrive this month.  Deals have been hitting left and right.... lowball bids have somehow won auctions.... I'm not sure what's going on but deal after deal is going well.  Here's some recent stuff that came in:

Most of it is from that large lot that was for sale a while back.  The second boxed duo was a "broken" one from ebay.. ended up being a bad video cable... :|

Please no PMs on the stuff yet, as I'm still deciding how to and what to trade / sell / give away of that lot.

Just received this technical manual for the original Street Fighter arcade machine in the mail. I don't think I've ever seen it for sale... the technician who converted my cabinet from the Street Fighter II 6 button setup to Street Fighter 1 6 button had to borrow this book from another arcade tech to do the job, so I'm glad to be able to get this so I can have it handy.

Ive got the original 25" cabinet for the original Street Fighter, but when i bought the cab it was running Street Fighter II' Turbo HF. The buttons didnt work properly when i swapped in a Street Fighter I board, so the tech had to fabricate and install a conversion PCB to get the buttons working properly.

I had always wanted one of the CD attachments. But like you, I never pulled the trigger. I always hear that the CD units can be very finicky. The Angry Video Game Nerd said he bought 2 or 3 of these and none of them worked. But I saw this at a retro gaming store at a reasonable price and decided to get it since I could get my money back if it didn't work.

Yes they are very finicky, I've heard many horror stories about them dying randomly even when babied. If I ever get one I'll likely get a refurbed one from Best Electronics, cheaper then epay and with them I wouldn't be playing Russian roulette in regards to if it will work. I bought my Jaguar NIB from them as well as various parts for my 2600 and couldn't be happier with their service. So what games made you decide to get one?

Whoa, motor swap and AT to 6spd MT conversion.  I admire you....you got some great mechanical skills to take on such a project.  I like working on cars as a hobby, but I don't have the guts/skills to do what you do.  Any other engine upgrades or mods planned while the engine is out?


I had originally considered doing some... but I think for right now I'll just be keeping it stock.  When I pulled the engine computer out of the donor car, I noticed it had a sticker for a good performance chip already installed, so thats a few hundo saved :P  But yeah I'll just be cleaning it up, sealing it up and making it run like it was brand new.

In other news:

This came in today  :P

Keeping with the theme of everyone buying arcade manuals...I got one for my Super Contra courtesy of eBay. Paid $5.

Thanks also goes to Ope for his boxed copies of Castlevania III and Bio Miracle Upa for the Famicom...
...and member 16-Bit for the PCE goodies. The two Hu Cards are Tales of the Monster Path and "Kid Dracula".
Famicom Dojo is a great series of vids dealing with, you guessed it! Teh Famicom! :mrgreen:

Wait, did you say there is a Kid Dracula game made for the PC Engine? I loved the gameboy version and have been wanting to play the famicom version. I looked up "Kid Dracula" in Paul's site and didn't find it there. :-k

Is that 5th Ann. version of MC a rerelease of the original, or is it updated like the US version? I always wondered what the difference between the two was other than physical appearance of case and card.
Title: Re: teh "what did you buy today"-thread
Post by: SuperPlay on November 09, 2011, 07:34:55 AM
Can't wait to play manhole ;-) LOL. Been loosing the little hair I have playing Pomping world.

The JP versions of magical chase are exactly the same, just in slightly different packaging.  The enhancements that are in the TG version are not included which is a shame.

The packaging of the original release was in a standard gray baked hu box.  The PCE Fan release comes in a clear case, like CD titles did along with some of the later Hu card games.

Snip from Videogameden.com

"The original Japanese version of Magical Chase was released twice; first as the standard edition (tested here), and secondly as a special mail-order "PC Engine Fan" release (picture on the left). PC Engine Fan was a Japanese magazine dedicated to covering the PC Engine system and published by Tokuma Shoten. Both games are identical but the back of the case and the instruction manual come with a different "PC Engine Fan" logo. However, they are both equally rare and expensive. "

Here are the pics of the case backs:

Yeah, although it's kind of weird, a piece of paper glued to the outside of the case. I tore mine off and threw it out. (It's not like SF2' is a rare game or anything)

Well spotted,  I have never thought of this layout being an attempt at duplicating the look of a spine card.  This is only on the back of the case and it does not continue to the front cover.

(http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/2971/capture2ub.jpg)

Many of the later Hu Card games came in clear backed cases and had similar artwork.  For example Bomberman '93

Post by: Opethian on November 10, 2011, 12:13:15 PM
the reason it (resembles a spine card) is that the bar code is not present on the round back stick so its on the spine card like CD games in jewel cases.

the MC fan edition has no real spine. it just comes in the generic jewel case like all the newer hueys.

It does.  It arrived in stores today (obviously won't arrive on Sunday and Saturday deliveries cost extra) and I know a guy.  It's a good game for sure.  Maybe a bit slow and the butt-stomp is gone, but otherwise it's pretty much what you'd expect.

Took a gamble(a rather expensive one at that since they are imports) since I've never heard any music from either CD but am familiar with everyone but 9dw so I'm guessing they are gonna be fantastic. :P

Nice to have the PCE box/manual as well. Hopefully I can pass some of this stuff on to someone who wants it one day!

I didn't buy this today; in fact, it's been a while since I got it, but it's still something I should mention:

I now have a Commodore 128 computer. It is awesome.

The story:

My mom got an email from what is basically a local Craigslist that told of someone trying to sell this bad boy, and I, being a collector and player of such things, was told about it by her. I asked if I could get it, and she said yes. We sent a couple emails back and forth, went to the guy's place, and I bought his Commodore 128, complete with monitor, disk drive, printer, and software, for $50.

The moral:

My mom kicks ass.

How is the audio compared to the DVD version from year 2000? It is the one with the cartoon like art and the cellar door on the bottom of the cover. This DVD release has a low audio volume/quality combination along with way too loud effects. It is still a decent release but the sound just isn't leveled out right.

Edit: Ooops, forgot to mention I was talking about Evil Dead 2.

To each their own I guess, but you still aren't getting official copies with repro carts. It is all a matter of how you perceive it. It feels like you have a real copy of the game, but it still is filled up with just Eproms and a well printed sticker. Getting the PAL version of Terrignma to work is a huge pain in the ass. The game costs a bit, and you have to get a German Action Replay 3 in order to get it to work on a NTSC system. Still, it is nicer in a way than playing it on a Flash cart... even though it looks wonky with two carts sticking out the console L-shaped, lol.

A great example I like to add, is conversion carts on the Neo Geo. I only have one (Shock Troopers 1 for $160 overall) bought 6 years ago and decided I really didn't want to go down that route after getting it. I much rather just go with a consolized MVS or a convertor for my AES than to fork over tons of more cash for hacked carts. Plus you are destoying a working game to get one working. So say goodbye to all the AES Fatal Fury 3, Samurai Shodown 3 and KOF95 Japanese carts if they keep it up.

Post by: munchiaz on December 06, 2011, 01:21:15 PM

They went down on the price. I am going to get one myself, thanks to the new price. Since they use Compact Flash cards, it is real quick to load up games. Look at the incompatibility list while you are at it. There isn't anything major missing actually. Most of those games you can get cheap. Also, there are decompressed versions of roms like with Star Ocean.

The last few days I've been itching to play some Neo Geo games so today I did some calling around to try and find a local used copy of SNK Arcade Classics Vol 1 for the PSP. Checked my local retro store first and no dice. And since its not a game places like best buy or target are likely to carry my only option was GameStop(yeah yeah I know) so I called around and every place had one but they were all loose UMD's which I don't like one bit so I caved and bought one new off amazon along wih NecroVision for the PC. Was also going to take a gamble and buy R-Type Command from them so I could get free shipping as well but didn't. It shipped from a different location so the shipping on it would be more then the game so I passed. :lol:

I bought the SNES one last month.. I can vouch for it, the thing is awesome! There are a handful of games that are not compatible (since they had special chips on the cart that can't be replicated in the rom) but you can read about them on the retrousb website

Yup, got this rare gem on ebay, of all places, for $9.99 plus $3.00! For once I don't really feel like I've been ripped for a really "Rare" item. I hate ebay, but this is a really good score!

I see you have Momotarou Katsugeki (Peachboy). That game is outstanding. An excellent platformer that gets overlooked way too often. Awesome pick up there.

GameReproductions (http://www.gamereproductions.com/) is the first one to pop up in a search.  I can't vouch for their quality, but $62 seems like an awful lot for a farkler cartridge.

that's pretty typical, there's a lot of work to be done in putting one of those together, at least if it's going to be quality.
that said, I can do them too, so that's been a lot cheaper for me.

Most SaGa music, the way they were written, you'd think you were playing Final Fantasy. The game play looks and moves like FF almost too.

Here's some of my favorite tunes in the RS series....

Saruin battle...(RS1)

Seven Heroes battle (RS2)

Field (RS3, the strings in this tune make it sound like it came out of Final Fantasy VI)

Four Devils Battle (RS3)

Didn't buy it today but something I bought recently I was very excited about arrived today. A little while ago I purchased a Duo-R from D-Lite and I am very happy to say it arrived today! Also bought a nice little selection of games from him as well and I couldn't be happier with my purchase. He even tossed in a free Ten no Koe bank card. :) Funny enough the copy of Kabuki Ittouryoudan I won in the trivia contest also arrived at the same time(Thank you so much Windy!). Now I just need to get my hands on an Arcade Card. :P Now if you'll excuse me its time to go play some Paridus Da!

Yeah, that made me wonder quite a bit at first as well. I think I'm getting used to it know. I like to think of it as one of those things you say a whole lot, but when asked what it means, you might have some problems actually explaining that. A bit like the word "moe" that's being thrown around a lot in anime/manga-circles (guilty as charged). It's all over the place but people tend to be pretty vague when asked about it.

Other than that, sweet loot! : ) Jelly of Bomberman 94' and most of the others...

Oh they will come with time. :) At the moment I'm going gaga over SonSon II, I love it! I love the game play but man is it hard. :P And thanks, I'm glad to finally have a Duo, looking at all my consoles it easily dethrones my Jaguar as my sexiest looking console. Another thing I want to look into is a duotap and a spare PCE controller so I can play Bomberman with my little brother and so I can introduce my nephews to it as well. :) I've got a NIB/NOS TG16 controller, maybe I can figure out a trade. :P

I can't wait to try it but sadly I have to wait till I can get an arcade card :( which I'll start looking for once I see what my money situation is like once all my Christmas shopping is done. By the way is the game playable with a regular 2 button controller or do I need to get an Avenue 3 or 6 button? Haha I'm loving My Duo-R so far but most of the games are kicking my ass, they are much more unforgiving then most games I've played. I'm so used to games having lots of lives(or as is pretty much the norm with modern games infinite) and reasonably easily acquired extras that it allows trial and error where as with most of these its pretty much get it right the first time or else. :lol: So far SonSon II and Cho Aniki are the hardest games for me, I have yet to beat the first level of Cho Aniki and the farthest I've gotten in SonSon II is the tiger boss.

While not video game related... a new toy arrived today  :twisted:

Yes BMW.  My new machine is 100% full refurbished. New  Caps, diodes, photo couplar, transistors, SRAM battery, the works. 
It's the XVI model meaning it has a switch between 10mhz and 16mhz modes.  Big upgrade over that dead Expert I sent you.

Very nice!  I guess the one I bought is a compact XVI that still has some sound issues even after a full cap job.  I'm suspecting a blown transistor or something.  But tracking down a sound circuit isnt too bad to do usually.

Yeah, the Pro Controller is pretty sweet. The D-Pad on it is way better than the stock controller.

Primal Rage on the Jag CD is pretty good. It looks and sounds great. But I had totally forgotten about the unique button combos. Having to press and hold 2 or 3 buttons and then press D-Pad for special moves. But you get used to it after a while. Couldn't picture myself playing the game with anything but the pro controller. :lol:

^ i got sick of waiting to track down a copy and i bought this one off ebay. got it for $60. which is a bit more then i wanted to spend. But Complete it wasn't to bad. there were copies that weren't complete going for way more because the box was in better shape. But this box isn't to bad, just some issues with the corners.

$60!?  god damn!
i got my loose copy for $20 and i thought i was on the higher end.
course, mine's loose, and i never paid attention to complete copy prices, so who knows.

^yeah i could have gotten a loose copy for a bit over $20, Saw some guys selling the on the neo-geo forum for like $25 loose. I figured though if i was going to spend that much, and it was something i was buying online, not just finding out in the wild i might as well get it complete. I just came in to some extra money, so it wasnt a huge deal. But like i said i do think it was a bit much, but i really wanted it.

The thing I bought today ain't game related but I'm just so STOKED about going I gotta post it. April 14th I'm gong to the 2012 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony. Presale tickets sold out in just under 8mins for Rock Hall Members. Can't f*cking wait......G'N'R, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Beastie Boys, The Small Faces\Faces (Rod Stewert and Ron Wood) Freddie King (R.I.P.) But Eric Clapton, Carlos Santana is rumored to do a few songs. If G'N'R reunites for the 1st time in over a decade its gonna be mind blowing.

Just got a big purchase in from RR1980 that I'm very excited about.... an O.G. PCE CIB, an IFU-30 near CIB, and a CDROM2:

First of all, RR was flexible with me and worked out a good deal, and really packed things well (Thanks for the FRAGILE STICKERS!)

(http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa230/lioncub4/PCEFX buys/photo-3-1.jpg)

(http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa230/lioncub4/PCEFX buys/photo-5.jpg)


The lot inuded a System Card 1.0, and the all-important Arcade Card Pro, as well as Hellfire S and 3X3 eyes... Thanks again for removing stuff I already had RR!!

(http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa230/lioncub4/PCEFX buys/photo-6.jpg)
(http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa230/lioncub4/PCEFX buys/photo-7.jpg)

The PCE is in great shape, as is the box... and the serials all match:

(http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa230/lioncub4/PCEFX buys/photo-14.jpg)

Here's teh IFU, which is near complete and with all matching serials as well (Very excited to get this part of it):

(http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa230/lioncub4/PCEFX buys/photo-13.jpg)

(http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa230/lioncub4/PCEFX buys/photo-15.jpg)

Teh CD-ROM2, which has a matching manual, and also came with the little plastic cover for the IFU connection port:

The video game store at the mall surprisingly had Ys: The Vanished Omens for the Master System.  I had to pick it up, just to see how it compares to the TG16 classic.

I did a quick search on my phone before I bought it, and apparently all the dungeons are flipped and the game is quite different, so I am excited to give it a try.

Well, there was only money for one game and I'm really not too hot on either on them but...I've played more BF in the past than CoD soo...I guess I like the fact that there's vehicles on the maps.

That and I don't have CoD 4 or MW 2. Starting from 3 would be a little odd. I do have CoD 5: World at War though.

I never really played much of any of them (cant do FPS with a controller)  but all my friends were playing MW3, so that's the one I basically started on.  What tipped me over the edge was picking up a mouse / keyboard like controller for PS3.  Its not perfect, but its close enough.

In other news,  I bought a red dot sight for my airsoft gun :P  That's getting to be an expensive hobby!

Bought a new keyboard today to replace my failing saitek cyborg, got a Razer Black Widow Ultimate. Already thinking of returning it... The mechanical keys are just to loud, which bugs me for a couple of reasons; first is I listen to a lot of music on my computer and the klakity klak of the keys will completely spoil quieter music and I also worry about it ruining emersion in PC games which is pretty damn ironic since this key board is supposed to be for gaming. lol I've got 30 days to make up my mind though so I'm gonna give it a fair chance before deciding on returning it. So far I'm digging every bit of it aside from the damn noise from the keys. They keys feel great, they are perfectly sized and spaced and even without a wrist rest its quite comfortable. Now lets see what happens when I try gaming with it. :P

Are those some X68000 games? Nice!

In addition to tons of PCE hardware (pics later), I've gotten dozens of games over the last couple weeks.
Too lazy to take pics of them all, but here are some highlights! Mostly Saturn shooters in these pics, but some Obey as well. All complete and in good shape, but that Dracula X is really as good as new. The seller said she had played it only once, but when I got it I could see she was telling the truth. Been too busy with work to play most of these but I've got some time off this week so I will rectify that!

As a shooter it's rather sucky.  But the original version here has some pretty kickass FM music though. 
It was also very cheap.

It's very cool but the loose games are kinda unplayable without overlays. I just bought a new homebrew game called "I Cyborg" that looks cool. I'm gonna play it tonight with the lights off with some space music playing!

Ah, overlays! Yeah, it seems a little tougher to find complete games with overlays but I guess I'll have to splurge on a few. What games are the most fun to play for you so far?

(http://dl.dropbox.com/u/20292009/xmas2.jpg)
and here are the illegitimate famous titles - High Leg Fantasy and Quiz Toku Shashin ... both super minty it adds to the sexiness of the girls  :lol:

(http://dl.dropbox.com/u/20292009/xmas3.jpg)

Title: Re: teh "what did you buy today"-thread
Post by: munchiaz on December 26, 2011, 01:42:01 PM
There made from interact. I think they suck. But i have really high standards when it comes to arcade sticks. I play fighting games competitively, and usually will only play using Sanwa parts (authentic japanese arcade parts, buttons, and the arcade stick.)
Title: Re: teh "what did you buy today"-thread

Ah, they're the Interact Eclipse Stick. Thanks for the info. And I hear ya. My friends who are into fighting games are also heavily into modding sticks.

I'm horrible at fighting games, so I use sticks for shoot'em-ups, beat'em-ups, and run & gun games. I finally ordered Sega's Virtua Stick for the Saturn. I hope it works well.

havent tried it yet, ill be sure to post my thoughts in the "what games are u playing thread" i watched and read a few reviews, and it seems like a good game if your in to classic action platformers. I actually saved like $20 on it. I purchased a ink cart for my printer that was on clearance for $5, but they person at walmart had to do a manual price change. When i took it home and noticed it was the wrong ink cart, i took it back, and the refunded me the actual price which was like $25

This game looked cool to me, because visually there isn't anything else like it on the Vectrex.  However, I could never gauge if it looked fun to play based on youtube videos...  Now that you have it, what do you think?
Title: Re: teh "what did you buy today"-thread
Post by: SuperDeadite on December 31, 2011, 08:26:20 PM
I quite like it Clash.  The game is basically an obstacle course.  Meaning do the right thing at the right time, or you are dead.  If you like stuff like Splatterhouse, you'll probably like it.   The best part of the game is atmosphere, it's amazingly well done, the boss fights are all unique and very satisfying to fight against.  It's also nice having a Vectrex game that actually has real levels and a true end.  Most just loop forever like the old arcade days...

Still havent tried the CDi yet.

I am liking my new arcade sticks for ps1. have also got just about every variation of Street Fighter, who wants to be a millionare, the weakest link, bishi bashi special to play on that. its great for when people come over. Mrs Gnome likes a good old go on my arcade stick, she does!!!

Oh and did you notice the capcom legends playstation disk aswell? that allows me to play Super Ghouls and Ghosts as well. its so damn hard. has anyone ever managed to beat it?

can anyone else reccomend any good two player ps1 games i could buy for this? i don't want to end up inundated with loads of games for it but just own a choice few that are a good laugth with a glass of wine in the evening...

thanks for reviewing may post

ja bless.

can anyone else reccomend any good two player ps1 games i could buy for this? i don't want to end up inundated with loads of games for it but just own a choice few that are a good laugth with a glass of wine in the evening...

I think there were a few different versions of Worms released for the PS1.  It's a great multiplayer game.  I've got Worms Armageddon for the PS1 and my wife and I used to play it all the time back in the day. 

The Gran Turismo games are 2 player, if you like racing games. 

And The Raiden Project is a 2 player shmup.

While not technically a 2 player game, I often  start up Parappa the Rapper when friends/family come over for gaming and we pass the controller around.

I don't have a very large library of PS1 games anymore, but those are ones I kept and would recommend.

Micro Maniacs is a very fun game if you like Micro Machines type games. You control guys on foot as they race through some pretty imaginative levels with neat powerups. Great multiplayer fun. Up to eight people can play. This is my favorite level :)

Bust a Move 4/Puzzle Bobble 4 is a great two player puzzle game for PS1.
Played many many hours of Twisted Metal 2 with my roommate in college.
Not many 2D fighters better than Street Fighter Alpha 3.


Anyway, here are some games that arrived while I was gone snowboarding for the past few days.

I know you guys know this but... SPRIGGAN... IS..... AWESOME. Seriously, what an amazing game. Love MUSHA Aleste for the Megadrive but damn!!

Jigoku Meguri is almost a perfect platformer for me. My favorite Japanese ghost/hell theme, beautiful, colorful graphics, great soundtrack, one-hit kills but no cheap deaths, oh yes! Will probably get a complete version at some point but I don't see this game that often...

Yeah, I'm getting pretty close to having all of the Megadrive/Genesis games I want. I'm sure I'll keep collecting them though! Might be worth getting Bare Knuckle 3 as well as Streets of Rage 3 as they really changed/censored a lot for the US release.

And actually that's Hani on the Road! I have Hani in the Sky as well, and although I haven't spent a lot of time with it, it struck me as a quirky but pretty dull shooter. But Hani on the Road is great! I've never played a game like it, it's got great parallax stages each with unique gameplay elements, pretty good music, and cute graphics. It's pretty challenging though, but just enough to make you want to keep going to see the rest of the levels. It and Final Zone II just came in the mail today so I haven't had a chance to open up FZII and play it yet (it's still new/sealed). Love FZ Axis for the Megadrive which is why I got it, although I realize they are completely different games. Do you have Final Zone for the Genesis? It's one of my favorite games on the system.
Title: Re: teh "what did you buy today"-thread
Post by: bartre on January 01, 2012, 08:39:32 PM
oh, didn't know there were two games, so i just read hani and assumed.
hmm, looks interesting though i'll have to try it out soon.
let me know how final zone is though, last alert and bloody wolf are a couple of my fave games on the system

They are such different games, and FZII for our beloved PCE is totally lame IMO. Music is great, the story/cinemas are actually decent (for me, anyway), but the game itself is so uninspired, generic, with poor controls, boring stage design, etc. etc.

Had they nailed the controls (responsive, easy-to-control characters), this game would be kinda fun to play.

I like the different attributes given to the selectable characters (distinct, well-designed weapon systems? maybe not, but there is a nice variety, and it had potential...).

Had they made an effort to ENCOURAGE US to play each level with different characters, to experiment with different strategies (which requires the stages and enemy A.I. to be designed to give certain advantages/disadvantages to the different selectable characters...speed, weapon range, weapon strength, etc.)...then we would have a better game. Create stages that provide MANY OPPORTUNITIES to utilize the different attributes of different characters! If I want to do this, the weapon systems/stage design might be halfway-compelling.

FZII is unrefined like... Ikari Warriors/Commando. I can forgive Ikari Warriors/Commando given the time of their release. But think about how much better Gunsmoke plays. Gunsmoke is a refined Commando.

Well, in the PCE world, Red Alert/Last Alert is the *slightly* more refined version of Final Zone II. Red Alert is far from perfect, but FZII can't even match Red Alert when it comes to controls/fluidity of gameplay/etc.

I don't mind that FZII throws a totally generic/boring vertical shooter stage at us (I can live with that!).

I'll stop now. I should have posted this in a different thread.

Wait, I forgot to mention: I consider FZII to be a must-have purchase for all Turbo fans. Why? Music alone :) And I don't think it is spectacular music, necessarily, but I like it. :)

Yeah, those are definitely must own games. I also think Super Burnout, Alien Vs Predator, Power Drift Rally, Defender 2000 and Protector SE are games worth checking out too.

Joe Red is right, I recommend upgrading to at least a composite cable switch for the system. There is a big difference in video quality when comparing it to the RF switch.

I alway got a kick out of the "CDROM game on a cartridge" quote in ads and on the box. Game was impressive for it's time, but I still prefer Blackthorne personally.

Excuse my ignorance, but does airsoft leave some sort of mark (like paintball paint) to show when you've been hit?  Or when you play is it based off the honor system?  That's a neat looking gun.  I wouldn't want to carry it around in public - it looks real to me. :)  I've always wanted to try paintball.  Heck even lasertag.  I didn't know airsoft guns were used like paintball.  I just thought you shot targets and cans and stuff with 'em.  :oops:

Typically you aim for the eyes.  This way you don't have to worry about the honor system.  Also each person has two targets so you can take two hits before you're out.

So do you wear targets that buzz or something when you're hit?  Or do you just shout out "Ouch! F@%K!" when you're hit?

Excuse my ignorance, but does airsoft leave some sort of mark (like paintball paint) to show when you've been hit?  Or when you play is it based off the honor system?  That's a neat looking gun.  I wouldn't want to carry it around in public - it looks real to me. :)  I've always wanted to try paintball.  Heck even lasertag.  I didn't know airsoft guns were used like paintball.  I just thought you shot targets and cans and stuff with 'em.  :oops:


They dont leave a physical paint splat like paintball does so it is an honor system... but since pretty much all the guns are full auto, when you start getting hit you'll yell out that you are hit to stop the rain of bb's hehe.  

Paintball is a lot of fun, but airsoft is quickly overtaking paintball.   The guns are comparably priced, but cheaper to operate.  They also look a lot cooler than most paintball markers and you dont go home nearly as dirty.  Now if you do a lot of diving into brush and crawling around, you'll get dirty, but not the sticky nasty paint all over you dirty that you get with paintball. :D

Paintball, you have to get your air tanks filled each time and paintballs themselves expire after a while.  With airsoft, your gun typically uses a battery you charge at home (there are some green gas powered weapons, mostly sidearms though)  and the plastic bb's are cheap and dont degrade like paintballs do.  So once you've got a gun, its very inexpensive to play.

Like paintball, you can spend a little or a lot on a gun.  The cheap $20 to $50 walmart airsoft guns are very low end and wouldn't hold up in a real game... there are guns for around $150 or so that are perfectly servicable though.  They are typically considered entry level, but in the right hands can hold their own against people with much more expensive guns.   My gun is a KWA G36C and is considered a mid/high end gun.  Most mid/high end guns run in the $250 to $400 range.  Upgrades are available to tailor your gun to whatever style you like to play.  

Like my gun, I spent about $50 on a red dot sight, another $40 on the suppressor and $35 on a longer, tighter bore barrel.  The suppressor is there for looks and to house the longer barrel (which provides a little more accuracy over stock)

All in all its a lot of fun and for a geek like me its good physical outdoorsy exercise of which i get very little of hehe.

This is an extreme example of some airsoft play (they've got a ton of people AND money) but gives an idea of what its like:

That minigun they use there... yeah its about $3500 lol.


With all that said... back to the video game haulies!!! :D

**EDIT**

LOL - I never knew before looking at that picture that there is actually a variation between the TG16 and the PC-Engine Laseractive controllers.  I just looked at my two Genesis/MD controllers, and they looked identical.  Does anyone know if there is any distinct markings between the U.S. and Japanese versions of the Sega controllers, or are they all the same?

Beamer that looks fun man, did Modernwarfare 3 get you thinking about doing something like that? :)

For me i got a good haul of stuff today locally... picked up for the Genny a Menacer gun, also an Activator which i did not know existed... It is basically an infrared over sized motion controller that you stand inside of that will work with any genny game :) i bet it was a flop back then but pretty cool... got a few carts like streets of rage 2 and toe jam and earl and a kid fav cartoon series Rocket Robin Hood <<cool pose>>

Couldn't you just swap the black casing from a Turbo Tap with the white casing of a Duo Tap? Or do the controller ports not match up since one is a mini din plug and the other is a full din?

the *best* way to do it, in my experience is to take it apart, wash the plastic like a dish (by hand) and then use plastic model spray paint to do several thin, even coats.
if you can't find any model paint at a decent price, krylon does a pretty good dedicated plastic series, I believe it's called krylon fusion

Damn, nice collection of LA pads! I see you have a couple still with the scratch guard on it. One of those new/unused popped up on Yahoo Auctions Japan recently and it sold for over 100 bucks!

Here's some stuff that arrived in the past couple days (lower half of the pic). Another Wondermega (check his bro up top!) which came with a few Mega CD classics. Star Parodier and a copy of Spriggan with a less faded cover. Also some more Saturn arcade games; trying to collect the best arcade ports to the Saturn so I can hook two of them up to some Astro City cabs one day (one horizontal, one vertical) in my dream game room/mini-arcade. Just need a place with more space!

Ooops, probably shouldn't have peeled the TG16 scratch guard off of the one controller I had.  Ohh well, it looks better without it.  If I ever have 5 people over to actually go at it all at once, I'll probably pull the last one off too, lol.

Your Wondermega looks very nice!  Despite what everyone says, I have a soft spot for FMV games, and I love Night Trap!  When you play that game in its Japanese release, is it subbed or dubbed?

That sucks you do that to controllers in the shops. It should be up to the person who buys it. The point is to protect the plastic until you decide to use it.

Yeah, I can't stand people who use stuff with it still on there. If you are paranoid about scratching it you can buy a scratch guard or something. But buying a controller with one on it is great. Usually means it's unused, or at the very least it will be shiny and new looking when you peel it off and use the thing. I have around 20 PCE controllers, so the ones I have with plastic still on there I leave on until I decide to sell them or use them.

I just picked up a Harmony cart for my 2600 last night. I'm starting to get out of collecting games for the pre-crash systems as I'd like to pick up an X68000 and focus on my Amiga, Lynx and MSX this year. The pre-crash consoles are still great fun so I figured I'd just replace my games for those systems with flash carts, while keeping my homebrews and repros.

I'm not to sure what the issue is. I thought it was the issue with the pinswitch, Becuase on the menu screen it keeps flashing that the door is open. I tried to override the pinswitch with a copper wire, but this hasnt worked. So i don't know what the issue is. i see that the laser moves up and down when i turn it on, so im not sure if the laser is broken?

A few more cheapo X68k games.  Also managed to dig up two original doujin games.  :)
In case you're wondering, PCE's Override is a port of Last Battalion.  They are basically the same
games, but LB is far superior.

^ nice pickups. how much did the battle garagga cost u?

The Battle Garegga was 5,250 yen, which is about $68, plus a couple bucks for shipping. It came with the spine card which is good as this is my second copy which I'll probably sell at some point. It tends to go for about $120 on eBay.

Yeah Saturn games are generally quite affordable out here, so I've been buying a lot before I move back to the states. It's a great system with so many great Japanese titles on it.

It is the best version of the game, (not counting Oath in Felghana).  Best graphics of them all, and it's amazingly fast and smooth.  No CD music of course, but the FM here sounds damn good regardless.

Ope - I loved the FireBird (火の鳥）  famicon game as a kid..  it was so unique, that bearded dude throwing up blocks.. kinda platform and kinda strategic game, brings back memories. 

and yes, I think all of us wanted that System card.  but at that price, and as Samurai noted, we prob all have tons of systems cards so effectively we would be paying $140+ for the jewel case... damn.  but it doesn't make it less desirable...

about 3 months ago I saw a long rumored (and boxed!) LT to SCD connector on sale too.  that went for 35000 yen by itself.. man.  PCE rarities def cost us an arm and a leg these days.

TATS!  now you and I must meetup next time I'm in Tokyo for extended amount of time!  I'm a huge single-malt biatch too.. just started getting into it big time last year.  

I don't do the heavy peaty stuff like Laophroag or Bowmore.  but I love the Glenrothe stuff... man it's like honey.. expensive honey that is.. worth every drop too.. haha.  

just for this I will take a pic of my current 4 bottles in my closet being slowly enjoyed right now after I return home to Singapore..  
- Glenrothes 30 years vat edition
- Glenmorigie 18 years  (good shit)
- Glenmorigie 10 years (good for quick smooth drinking without hitting the wallet too bad)
- Highland Park 18 year single cask (not bad, but I think the Glenmorigie 18 is better).

I'm such a whiskey bitch I actually bought the specialized drinking/nosing glasses last time back in the US!

so fellas I'm here one more day at sapporo (I head off to the aiport at 4pm tomorrow JP time)..  in case some of you are dying for rare/desired titles, i saw a few today at the shop I found.  not bad at all - not cheap, but no where near ripoff prices.  if you're willing to cover the RT trainfare (920 yen) I would be happy to pick them up for you and mail it at the Tokyo post office before i head back to Singapore on Wed night. 

- Downtown Nekketsu (river city ransom) - 8800 yen (no spine). <-- not cheap but this rarely pops up.
- Mizu Kids (Liquid Kids) - 4800 yen   <-- I think this is a pretty fair price actually!  not sure why I didn't get it for myself... i'm not a huge platform fan I guess..
- Terraforming (no spine) - 4000 yen <--  avg price I think.  saw a complete with spine one listed on Ebay for $79.99. (~6150 yen equiv).
- one more minty Strider left (with spine) - 4500yen <-- price is pretty good.  I picked mine up for the same.

anyway, if any of you want these, gift-paypal me today your time.  I will check back noon mytime and head there if the case.  please add the train fare to the game price and postage.  I;m not sure how much WW economy JP media mail costs but I'm guessing since all these JP game guys on Ebay lists $6 USD, that should cover it. 

yen exchange rate = 77 yen to $1 USD btw.   send to satosu22mori@gmail.com

Bare Knuckle 3 is so badass! Just played through it last night before bed.

^ yeah i played through it to, and got the bad ending. it was my first time beating it. I have played it a few times in the past, but never all the way through. I have played and beaten streets of rage 2 so many times i've lost count. SOR 2 is still a better game IMO, the music is just so well done in SOR2

Elemental Gearbolt is very enjoyable with the Guncon. The music, graphics and feel of the game is great. I was able to get it mint for around $25 roughly 4 years ago on Ebay. I highly suggest adding this game to you PS1 collection. Project Horned Owl is also pretty fun. I have always liked the accuracy of the Guncon. The thing seems like it is 20x more accurate than a Genesis Justifier.

The only annoying thing about the Guncon is that the red button on the front keeps you from enjoying games like Time Crisis one-handed. I think you can find a pedal adapter that connects between the port for the controller input to simulate the red button on the front of the gun.

Seeing lots of Genesis/Megadrive love lately which is awesome!
El Viento is pretty cool game. A solid action platformer with a cool setting and character design.
The Megadrive version is expensive but it's really reasonable to pick of the Genesis.  Definitely worth picking up!

and btw I'm noticing a clear trend of PCE game title prices in Japan moving UP in my recent visit to the 2 stores b/t Sapporo and Tokyo.  looks like even the local sellers are realizing there is some worldwide PCE/TG collecting movement going on and raising their prices.  I didnt see any huge bargains this time and paid for instant gratification.. except Doraemon was a steal at 890 yen.  almost picked up a Asuka 120% for 600 yen too but forced myself to stay strict.  that was it.    and oh yea, there was a new Graduation 1 for 50 yen.. lol, but shit titles don't count.  hahah

Yeah, I've noticed prices are getting a bit higher, especially at game shops. Which is why I almost always buy everything online, as it isn't as bad.

I'm noticing even YahooJP are having prices rising, though cheaper, yes.  the con to that is sometimes the conditions are random.. that's the pro of getting it in person I guess.

at this rate perhaps I should hold onto my sealed Bazarru instead of trying to sell it :)

I've found it's not really any more expensive to get genesis games CIB than it is to get them loose so I usually wait to find a nice complete copy but I couldn't wait for that El Viento any longer! Other Renovation games are sweet too, they had the best releases and packages in the US for Genesis back in the day.

That Bomberman pad looks like a cheap version of the Ascii Pad.  The Ascii Pad is awesome.  It uses almost all Nintendo OEM parts and even the buttons are interchangeable. I put the purple buttons in mine because I do like how the US pad has two concave and two convex buttons.  Plus I don't like the rainbow colors.  Crazy 90's Japan and their spastic colors/designs.

This one uses all OEM Nintendo parts as well. Even the gray circle around the buttons is the same. The D-Pad top texture is different though, but everything is interchangeable. This is pretty common for Nintendo's third parties.

Got some new music in the mail today. I recently ordered a new LP by the band Old Man Gloom titled "Christmas Eve I & II + 6 + Live In NYC", its a combo of a 3 inch mini CD they released long ago and a Live set that was issued on a bonus disc only in Japan. Its a fantastic recording, I've got the 3 inch CD but this was the first time I've heard the live set. Well worth the money I spent. Oh and to top things off the distro I ordered it from threw in 3 free albums with it, "Alter" by the band Knut, the self titled album by The Huguenots, and "Bird of Prey" by Zozobra. They were a very nice surprise.

Naious is sort of a Thunder Force III clone, great music and presentation.  Lame box art though.
Cyberblock Metal Orange EX is the best arkanoid/breakout style game ever. 
It's totally badass:

Picked up my Puppet Master trunk in 2010 when Puppet Master Axis of Evil came out.

Contents of the trunk are
1) The Trunk
2) Puppet Master Blu-Ray
3) Puppet Master Axis of Evil Blu-Ray
4) Trading Cards of each Puppet Master Movie
5) Stickies of each Puppet
6) A Mini Axis of Evil Poster.

And thats just the beginning of my love affair with FullMoon Features.

I bought the Puppet Master DVD box set when it came out many years ago.  I have put some serious spins on those movies, especially parts 4 and 5, which although I admit are not the best in the series, I have the most nostalgia for them.  The movie I think is the actual best in the series is part 3, I love killing some Nazis!

Full Moon always has a booth at the Fan Expo in Toronto and the Road Shows were fun.  I just wish they still made good movies.

Thanks, I picked up both versions at the time the normal DVD set and the Blu-Ray set. At the time i didnt have a Blu-Ray player and didnt wanna miss out on the awesomeness that the trunks are. The Blu-Ray is number 86/1800 and the DVD is 39/1800.

Yes my favorites of the would be 3, 4, 5. Nothings better then watching Six Shooter shoot up some Nazis lol

Yea i can relate with you on the movies they make nowadays aren't as great as they was in the late 80s early 90s. Picked up the original PM Box set when it came out. Also grabbed a Subspecies Boxset, Dollman Vs Demonic Toys Boxset and Trancers Boxset and of course i highly recommend picking up Castle Freak and the Pit and the Pendulum, Bad Channels, Dr. Morbid, Blood Dolls.

Ive been to a few Road Shows and a Horror Cons Charles Band is pretty awesome.

Picked up a SNES, 2 controllers, SMW, Mario All Stars, Donkey Kong Country, Mortal Kombat, and some sports games for $15.

I traded my model 1 SNES a while back, so I am glad to get another one.  My SNES model 2 just isn't the same.

that's good price box boxed Spacey!  pick up other early goodies...  Galaga 90 is a great one and can be found for around $20-30 bucks boxed.  Ninja Spirit US version is very common but fantasitic game.  hopefully you find that too!

Illegal in Japan... :(

Why the hell would a tripod be illegal?

Panic ban after the accident... :(

I am seriously confused about this. Is there something I just don't know or just fooling about?

Nah, improvised tripods constitutes the manufacture of illicit goods. You might as well be cooking up heroin in your living room. Not a good idea in Japan.

I would just improvise someway.

Nah, improvised tripods constitutes the manufacture of illicit goods. You might as well be cooking up heroin in your living room. Not a good idea in Japan.

Saying tripods are illegal in Japan is like saying "you're mom" is illegal in Manitoba. Ridiculous.

Pretty sure incest is illegal in most states, but don't let that spoil your fun.

That's not what I meant. You know the dumb phrase, "you're mom"? I was just being stupid. :mrgreen:

Super D, next time you are in a H.O. you should look for something called a tripod


Illegal in Japan... :(


Why the hell would a tripod be illegal?


Panic ban after the accident... :(


I am seriously confused about this. Is there something I just don't know or just fooling about?

Super D, next time you are in a H.O. you should look for something called a tripod


Illegal in Japan... :(


Why the hell would a tripod be illegal?


Panic ban after the accident... :(


I am seriously confused about this. Is there something I just don't know or just fooling about?


To be more specific you need to have a license to purchase one legally.


That is F$&*# crazy man!!!

I would just improvise someway.


Nah, improvised tripods constitutes the manufacture of illicit goods. You might as well be cooking up heroin in your living room. Not a good idea in Japan.


Saying tripods are illegal in Japan is like saying "you're mom" is illegal in Manitoba. Ridiculous.


Pretty sure incest is illegal in most states, but don't let that spoil your fun.


That's not what I meant. You know the dumb phrase, "you're mom"? I was just being stupid. :mrgreen:

Most quoted post EVER


You are correct sir


Well, we don't really know for certain. We just think it is.  (http://junk.tg-16.com/images/cooks_transb.gif)


Hmm, how many levels is the Great Pyramid?  We can beat it!

Today I bought a 6 pack of Newcastle beer, Cape Cod potato chips and a Green and Blacks dark chocolate bar with a hint of sea salt. Do I need to post pics?


Couldn't help myself.

Seriously though there quotes to be found in Fighting Street that dwarf this great pyramid. We can thank the argumentative for that.  :P



It's the fault of the damn Train Otakus.  There was a huge crowd taking pics of the latest shinkansen, and the morons held their tripods horizontally by hand to get better shots of the front.  But they lost balance, fell on the tracks, and you can guess the ending...

Been on a little 'controller' binge lately.
Waiting on a Avenue 6 and Avenue 3 to arrive along with a US Neutopia...

Loving the Razer elite wireless 4G.  Best mouse I have ever owned.
I would have preferred the Akuma Fightpad but @ $10 BNIB for Blanka (only one available) how could I say no?
The SNES pad was $1 from a charity shop and it seriously needs a bath and some detail work.  It stinks like a hobo.
I have yet to get the X-Arcade stick setup as it just showed up this morning!

5 Brokens PS3s
3-CECHA01 (60GB)
1-CECHB01 (20GB)
1-CECHK01 (80GB, no BC)
1 Sixaxis
Call of Duty 4 Modern Warefare (PS3)
Tourist Trophy (PS2)
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (PS2)
Turok (N64)
Virtua Racing (Gen)
NHL 95 (Gen)
N64 Controller

The PS3s and PS2 stuff was $60 on Craigslist for all of it, not sure what I'm gonna do with it to be honest.  Some are YLOD, but I figure for parts alone it's worth more than $60.  Plus, 4 of the 5 are backwards compatible models and one of them starts but overheats to the YLOD.  The Sixaxis works too, but one of the analog sticks is messed up and I've already ordered a replacement potentiometer for it.  There was also some other Madden game (team manager 09?) but I gave it to a coworker.

The other stuff was from my local thrift, about $10 for all that plus some Leap Pad carts which I realize are useless without the books now :3
NHL 95 is CIB and in good shape, the N64 stick is tight, and the Virtua racing is in a rental box or something, no manual.

Why am I interested in buying a Sharp X68000 all of a sudden?!?

Anywho, all I bought in the past 2 months was Skyrim for 360 and The Warriors for PS2. I just kinda stopped playing Skyrim for a bit. I am at a point of the game where my melee warrior does shit damage when attacking these dungeon skeleton warriors that can break your damn weapons. Arghhh, I hate weapon breaking in any game! Not cool!

I've been mostly borrowing or playing my older games these days. For PS3 I let a friend borrow Uncharted 1-3 while he let me borrow God of War 1-3.

After all of this, I have all those PS1 RPGs I failed to play through over the past 12 years. Remember the RPG boom of 98-2001 for PS1? Yeah, I ended up with 20 RPGs in 3 years and only finished like 7.

I'm usually not big on guides, But the SCV guide was written by top players from europe, and is done by the same guys who did the dark souls guide. Also it has frame data, which is amazing.

This one was $250, but has some serious sound issues to track down.  I traded for the other one.  I'm not sure exactly what one can be bought for these days.... There arent many in the US to begin with.  Bringing them over from Japan is usually your only option.  I'd expect that $300 to $400 shipped wouldn't be far off.  They also are prone to a myriad of problems.... power supply failure, cap failure, floppy drive failure... but hot damn they look cool and have some excellent versions of some of the best classic games!

This compact unit looks neat, but the Expert I posted a little while back looks absolutely marvelous with the twin tower design + pop out handle in the middle.... pure metal sex I tell ya!

^ good deal. i paid $30 for mine and the CD portion doesnt work.
Anyway, heres my recent pick ups.

I'm usually not big on guides, But the SCV guide was written by top players from europe, and is done by the same guys who did the dark souls guide. Also it has frame data, which is amazing.

Yes, very cool cover! I always thought that cover was a little edgy for the market demographic they were after... Can't wait to see pics!

More recent pick ups. More Saturn games for the collection, but a little Obey as well.
Note the SEALED, unopened Arcade Card Pro. It still has the price tag of 16,000(!!!) yen on it.
They weren't messing around with that one.

nice steal on the TE! I saw that. At first I thought it was too much for that. Apparently not considering how fast you grabbed it.

I guess a noob like me will learn his lessons. Next time i see it for that price, I will buy it.

No it was a "PAL only" release and the only Compile game without a Japan release.
I got it on the cheap on Ebay because the lady who sold it had no clue and simply advertised it as "Master System 2 with 5 games"  :dance:.

I believe you are thinking of the first Power Strike on the Master System. I was with a fellow forum member when he bought Power Strike I at a game store. At first I thought the cover was photocopied, but then I looked closer and it was all blue.

Golden Axe warrior is the less polished and harder Zelda, but it is definitely a great game.

Psycho Fox hasn't been popped into my SMS yet.  However, if it is really "rare," then this guy is giving it away.  I only paid $10 for my copy.

i think they all look that way, i have a had a few regular black ones and they all seem weak.
If anyone has a bad screen with scuffs and or light scratches use car detailing polish, its amazing how well it works on it, the same with Nomads.

Samurai, the washed out screen is most likely a cap problem. Even with a recap though it does not improve much. doing a led mod to replace the backlight will also help, but at the end of the day the game gears screen is just naturally washed.

Clash, i second golden axe warrior. What a great game.

When I go to Saint Louis there's a store that has it for about the same price. That's a tad more than I've been wanting to pay for it, but I may break down and eventually pick it up the next time I'm there. I'm still hunting for Golden Axe Warrior.

Well if you wanted a neo-geo mvs you do know it can be consolized right ? The mvs board itself can even be run through a supergun.

No offense dude, but if you are gonna use a pirate cartridge and composite video, may as well just use a small computer and run mame...

Post by: Frank_fjs on February 18, 2012, 10:57:36 PM
No offence taken. :)

Some things I'd like to point out though:

- Picture quality is better than you'd expect and better than any other composite signal you've seen - I'll provide a photo to prove it (the blur on the main character and fish sprite are from them moving - should have paused it sorry).
- I would much rather play on a large CRT TV than a tiny LCD screen.
- I can also play my real MVS carts and many other jamma based arcade PCB's with this setup, it's not Neo Geo exclusive.
- Re the multicart, I use it as it's less hassle than constantly ripping out and inserting a new cart, plus aside from the hacks the games play identically to their counterparts.
- I can easily use an AES joystick.

(http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y189/fjs/MVSSG.jpg)

^ Neo Geo on actual hardware via a nice CRT TV beats the crap out of Mame/Kawaks.
Title: Re: teh "what did you buy today"-thread
Post by: Mishran on February 19, 2012, 01:40:32 AM
I was actually considering a multicart for mine. The cart slot is so close to the electronic components, when yanking that carts out I ran my hand against some of the caps on the board and bent the legs by accident a couple times. Sliced my finger open once. Doubt the caps can handle to many of that before breaking. Multicart might be pirating, but its much easier than pulling carts out all the time wearing out the connector. Safer for the machine means major win in my book. Still plan on buying official carts for it though.
Title: Re: teh "what did you buy today"-thread
Post by: Frank_fjs on February 19, 2012, 01:45:16 AM
I picked mine up for $75 landed and really can't complain. It's the 150-in-1, and of those 150 games 99 of them are unique/non hack/original versions.

Of course I have real MVS carts but like you I hate having to pull them out/insert them all the time. The MVS hardware isn't really designed for quick and constant cart changes, it's designed to house a single cart for months on end.

Considering I used to build and sale the f*cking things, I can definitely confirm composite video is the worst you can use on any given encoder chip, be it Analog Device, Sony CX, or a no name.  Regardless of that, the lazy " leave everything exposed" approach is f*cking lazy and weak. The multi-boot cart too, I mean, you really might as well have just thrown together a tiny Shuttle pc with a Athlon XP and a Geforce 4 with s-video out and ran Nebula or Mame. You have already gone to great lengths to cheap out, might as well have done it right at any rate. And no, you are not gonna be playing any normal jamma boards until you wire up controls for them, so currently, no, you cant.

So we are clear on this, these are superguns:

I'm referring to the Raiden Project.  I mainly got it for arcade perfection, but I found it to be slightly...I dunno...watered down, especially in the music department.  It was also ridiculously expensive; it was $45, but I got it at a local game store & with trade-ins, I only payed $28...still too much though.  I'm tempted to try to get (or make) a supergun so I can get the actual Raiden PCB, as I can't find an actual cabinet.

Nah, I don't hate it, it's just that the first Raiden made a bigger impression on me, and the arranged tracks on these other games just don't do it for me. :/  Once I get the turbo version, I'm set!

Interesting.  I probably would not have picked it up for $45.  But I guess many shmups now sell for that much or more these days.  I got mine used for $22, which is still a little on the high end, imo.  I think there are way better (and cheaper) shooters for the pce, but, being where we are, I'm probably just preaching to the choir. ;)

I recently picked up a Gamestop "custom" Raiden 3 for PS2...i.e., no box, no instructions, just the disc. It was $5 and I've been not having luck finding it anywhere (plus I had an old gift card). I've been on a PS2 shooter kick (http://www.racketboy.com/retro/sony/ps2/the-playstation-2-ps2-shmups-library) and after mesing with Gigawing Generations, Sol Divide, Homura...I found that Raiden 3 was pretty good in comparison. I had Gradius, Mushi, DoDon already so it was next on the list. The ship is too slow and gameplay is meh, but I like the graphics and music, so worthy of a few bucks.

I looked online and the selection was pretty limited.  Somehow, the deal included Resistance, which doesn't come out until May.  However, Resistance is the reason I bought the Vita, so I was actually pumped for this.  Through work I get a Target discount and I had a $25 gift card, so it ended up costing me $82 shipped for three Vita games.  I chose Uncharted (figured I should give it a shot, haven't played one since part 1 on PS3), BlazBlue, and Resistance.

Got some more collectable stuff at the bottom.
Megumi Rescue for the MarkIII/Master System, weird but awesome little Japan-only title.
Sealed copy of Twinkle Star Sprites.
And a copy of Magical Chase for PCE. The cover is really sun-faded, but I just wanted a copy to play, and since the price seems to be going up up up I figured I should snag a deal when I could!

Looks like it, I'll figure it out once it arrives. I'm kinda hoping it's a switch and not a button like the Max, otherwise playing two-button games will be somewhat awkward...

Just Japan in general. Saturns are pretty much given away, aside from some of the limited models, Hi-Saturns, etc.

Just the stock buttons as for as I know. Picked up this boxed Virtua Stick this week and it seems to be stock. Love the controller though! Almost as good as the custom made one I made for myself that's sitting in my parent's garage 5,000 miles from here.

Scart to BNC breakout board for playing in RGB on my PVM monitor. This thing works great and all I did was buy cables and plug it in. My Duo R was RGB modded from DoujinDance and it works great. No problems, just plug and play. Really demystified the whole RGB thing.

Working designs did variant art on there games. So there like 4 different CD arts for almost all of there games. The cart is just a Ram cart with the dragon force ram cart sticker on it.

if you just bought one from Tobias check if the CD ring says CARE4DATA I dont think he had this new run pressed its a CD-R from what I understand
Title: Re: teh "what did you buy today"-thread
Post by: Frank_fjs on February 28, 2012, 01:37:22 PM
It does have CARE4DATA on both CD's (the one in the full cover/manual version and he also sent a loose disc in case I wanted to keep the other one sealed - which I didn't but it's nice to have a spare disc, I'm going to be giving it to a friend).

I asked before ordering, I didn't want a CD-R.

Well he didn't have any left when I first inquired however he recently made a new batch. He did mention that the Sapphire discs were the only ones with a pressed CD, the other games he sells are CD-R (Fantasy Zone, Bomber Man).

Some recent pick ups.
Got an amazing deal on some Mega Drive games!
A seller had a lot of dead stock from an old toy store, and Batman and Golden Axe 3 were completely new and unopened. The other three were some kind of samples given to the store at some point, and the Crying and Chiki Chiki Boys carts have SEGA stickers on them as pictured on the Crying cart. Not sure what this does to their value but I think it's really cool to have these games directly furnished by SEGA! Splatterhouse 3 had the same sticker that's on the cover on the cart. And the best part, all of these games ended up being only $27 shipped!!

Also picked up an unopened Pomping World, Drac X, and Astal.

I don't figure they're worth quite that, anyone around here more knowledgeable than me on these things, i just thought they were cool, though if they're worth money i probably won't be hanging on to them.

This months pickups so far:

Yeah I know... another Laseractive <sigh>  I just cant help but pick em up when they're cheap / broken.  The Pippin was supposedly "broken" also, but it works just as designed.  To some that might be considered broken though hehe.   The two external floppy drives are for writing disks for the X68000.  They work perfect! :P

$10?  yeesh, guess you cant go wrong at that price....

This months pickups so far:

Yeah I know... another Laseractive <sigh>  I just cant help but pick em up when they're cheap / broken.  The Pippin was supposedly "broken" also, but it works just as designed.  To some that might be considered broken though hehe.   The two external floppy drives are for writing disks for the X68000.  They work perfect! :P

Some recent pick ups.
Finally got Astra Superstars, which has been on my want list for years.
Just broke down a bought a copy in great shape for a fairly high price, but I'm glad I have it.
Can't say it fully met my expectations as a game, but it's quite fun and I'm looking forward to playing it with some friends this weekend. Since there are no fancy controller inputs and all characters have the same controls it should be easy for even fighting novices to pick up and play. Been on a real 2D fighter kick these days!

What middleman service do you use? I use Shopping Mall Japan but their fees have been killing me lately! I won a $15 MSX controller that wound up being over $38 so I'd really like to find other options.

Post by: Samurai Ghost on March 06, 2012, 01:14:25 AM
Yeah, I also think Saturn games look good, which is one of the reasons I like collecting them. Got a good deal on a sealed copy of TSS recently, but it was just too damn beautiful to crack open, so I bought this copy to play. That's the problem with buying sealed games. If it's at all rare I'll probably just end up with another copy to play and one to keep.

Yeah, I have the PCE version which I can't make heads or tails of.  So not long ago I played some of the ROM for the Genesis version and really got into it! (I was hoping I could take screenshots of the menus use them as guides for the PCE version, but they aren't very similar).  So now I wouldn't mind getting the Genny version one of these days.  I'm short on funds right now (Arkhan gets first dibs on those for his  proto-AbCard), but when I strike it rich, I'll ping you about Master of Monsters and probably other stuff. :)

Seriously, I didn't even look through the list of carts that came with it.  Of all of it I really just wanted the popful mail disc, and I always take laseractives when I can get them.  The Zoom disc is kind of neat to get too.

I'm sure I'll have some of these carts up for trade / sale cheap or as freebies.  I just noticed there was a Shining Force cart in there... nice surprise!  I think I've already got phantasy star 2 and 3 as well as shining in the darkness, so those will likely be available on the cheap.

Ah, that is BS. I can see DLC for a cheap game, or if there are whole new areas to a game, but if you are charging that much for a fighting game you should get the whole roster right away. I can se ADDING some characters months down the line and have them available as DLC to extend the life of the game, but right out of the bat? That's pretty scammy.

Regarding the capitalist bastard move from Capcom: Yeah, I pretty much agree. I never pay for stuff like that. And it's getting worse by the minute. I mean, look at the Vita. You have to buy an expensive memory card (proprietary of course) just to be able to play games - and the largest one they have for sale (which costs insanely much) isn't enough for more than a few installs and downloads. That alone made me ignore the Vita release. It's just.. No. "Why? Because f*ck you, that's why."

Some awesome pick ups so far this week.

Finally got a Super CD-ROM2! Got it in a lot with an extremely battle-scarred yet perfectly functional Duo-R, CoreGrafx I, white PCE and some misc accessories. It's not discolored or beat up at all and runs perfectly, although it needs a cap replacement which is no problem. I need to track down an AC adapter, patch cable, and CoreGrafx II to make it a complete set, but I'm very pleased so far!

Also picked up a receiver and extra wireless controller for the Saturn for a great price, and Teh Radiant Silvergun. Not quite a Holy Grail level pick-up, but it's an expensive game that's been eluding me for a while. Also a sealed Red Alert for 5 bucks shipped!

It ended up costing under $30 for everything shipped (I bought the spare controller separately). Typical eBay prices for one wireless controller and receiver is usually over $100.

They are really solid controllers though; great build quality and response! They look nice too, especially with the white Saturn system. Well worth what they cost me but eBay prices have gotten a bit out of hand these days...

Average games I've heard is about 500-1000MB. Uncharted is almost 4GB. And as we all know, a 32GB memory card isn't giving us 32GB of usable space.
I'm not saying it's so small it's completely useless, but I'm saying it will fill up pretty fast if you are a frequent Vita-user.

I mean... they also laughed and said 20GB would be more than enough for a 360 hard drive. ;)

True, and that may some day be a problem for those that go with DL only games (I still say a retarded idea), but if you run retail games even an 8GB will be fine for a long time.

There could be a whole thread dedicated to this very issue... I too hate how everything is going download only.  Its fine if its like games off of gog.com where once its downloaded it works forever.  But a lot of these new games need to "phone home" and will eventually not work whenever the company that produced them gets bought out / goes bankrupt / kills the server / all of the above.  I'm still sore over EA's Motor City Online being unplayable now because they shut down the servers.

it's a good scam if you think about it. it lets them re-release it a couple of years later and charge you full price for the damn game again if they want to.. :(

Here's a good example of how one game uses the keyboard uniquely:

Ultimate Ghost 'n Goblins was on my wanted list for PSP when I first got the machine but I never went for it. I don't know why... It looks really awesome just by looking at the cover as well! :)

And yeah Ultimate Ghost 'n Goblins is a great game!

This reminds me that now is a good time to buy a PSP on the Cheap. Trying to remember which is the best model out of the 3, not the PSP Go of course.

Also, the thing with the Vita like with anything when first release is that it is overpriced and the hardware has not been tested for a year of use yet. As for the memory card problem, it isn't all that bad really. The main titles are their own game cards and I seriously doubt most early release downloadable only titles will go past 200-300MB for the most part. So a 4GB-8GB should be fine unless you seriously need to store every PSP download you own on your VITA.

If the system isn't selling as they plan, which will be the case... then later on the prices will go down, a second revision will come out, more than likely a standard memory format will be added to the revised model and this will be the time when downloads titles become bigger files. The proprietary cards will also go down in price in a year, even if they don't switch to standard memory cards with a revised model.

Just wait a bit, I never buy any console/handheld hardware on release. I have gotten burned too many times with consoles running into problems with hardware failures, lack of options, limited selection of games and paying too much. When you wait, you actually have good games to play. Seriously, the PS3 wasn't really worth me buying until 2008 game-wise. Of course, I didn't get around to buying it till January 2011. I am glad I put it off, since the PS3 Slim 160GB was exactly what I wanted and even more games like Heavy Rain, Uncharted 2, etc... were out.

I think the PSP 2000 is the best model series... most of them are easy to homebrew and they have more ram and a better screen than a PSP 1000. 

The only systems I've gotten on or close to launch were Dreamcast, Gamecube, Wii, PS3 and the 3DS.  So far I can say I was happy with the Dreamcast and Gamecube and disappointed in the Wii, PS3 and 3DS.  BUT, I can say that I'm glad I got one of the launch PS3s since they kept stripping the hardware down more and more with each subsequent revision.

Well if you understand how AC adapters work and have one that will work, it won't damage your system to use an unofficial adapter to test it out or even use for the long term as long as the polarity is correct and it's not underpowered. Reversed polarity can totally ruin your system so it's something to be sure of!

I doubt it was many, since it seems that a lot of us have never seen that box.  I hated the original artwork, so this difference is cool.  Here is what the seller said in the listing.
Quote
Ahhh....the TG-16. It's truly a shame that this system did not do better in North America, but then again we may not have ended up with nearly as many awesome SNES games. The TG-16 is the PS3 of gaming systems, way ahead of its time and just out of reach for most people to own, understand, or appreciate.

I have been lucky enough to acquire a few of these over the years and thought that I may be able to find a good home for this one. My grandmother only drove it to church on Sundays, etc.

The system comes in the more rare variant Holiday Box released later in the systems production life. This particular one was acquired at Electronics Boutique during a clearance event in the mid 90's.

Thats a nice grab.  Its interesting that you posted this, as i just passed on one of these box variants at a game store over the weekend.  The game store was asking 119.99, but the outerbox was a little rougher, otherwise i would have picked it up.  From what the guy at the gamestore told me, these were large christmas promo stickers placed over the front of the standard box art to advertise the $69.99 price point.

I'm a complete joystick noob (I've always played with D-pad) but I feel quite confident with this. First impressions is that the square gate wasn't as awkward as I thought it was going to be and the layout (and number) of the buttons is perfect for me. Nice size on the box as well, I'm happy with it so far!

It actually is! The guy went out and bought Computer Space. I feel somewhat responsible because when I was over there this summer we had a long talk about old arcade games over a few beers, and we were talking about getting an old cabinet to set up at his house and he was really into it. The next day we went over to an arcade game dealer nearby to check out some games, and they had a few Computer Space cabs for a few grand each. Six months later he ordered one from Canada. It's a beauty!

What that is is the image has faded/warped some.  Looks almost like the ink on the sticker has kinda bled out a little, kinda like an old tattoo that hasnt been taken care of.  Strange thing is, that the sticker is in pretty good shape, its just the area of the KC that has the bleeding.  Maybe at some point it got sprayed with water or something?

It's arcade perfect from what I understand. I have no point of reference though.

Next time you or anyone is in Winston, you can get your reference filled...on a Japanese cab :)

Ambassadors of Funk?

M.C. Mario?


UPDATE: I am listening to it (radio edit) and...it's not bad for a kitschy pastiche. Here's my simple test: can you listen to it several times in a row? If you can, then it isn't too horrid. 

The Singapore and Japan lyrics are particularly cringe-worthy.

Of course, some folks here would rather shoot themselves in the leg than listen to it, I reckon. But there are far worse musical atrocities out there... (http://junk.tg-16.com/images/pcgs.png)

Doesn't "Radio Edit" generally mean it was on the radio?  Regardless, the song was pretty catchy.

I love SML, number four on my list of favorite Mario games, and easily the one I've completed the most times.  Due to that, I enjoy hearing the soundtrack in any form, and this game did have an awesome soundtrack.

(By the way, the three games in front of SML are SMW, Mario Sunshine, and Mario 64)

If she throws Australia in the trash, she'll end up in there right next to it :)

You should find me the following games:
The Demon's Judgment
Back to the Edo
Dr. Paolo
Time Gal
Virtual Cameraman

Then we can work out a deal where I trade you my girlfriend for them.

Time Gal was on ebay U.S. for $800 and I missed it :(

Dr. Paolo appeared on ebay U.S. about 2 years ago and it sold for a little over $100.  At that time I was only getting the U.S. games so I didn't bid on it.  Little did I know I would never see it again.

I should post a pic of this just because it's related to obey, but I stumbled across the Gameboy version of Bonk's Adventure this evening at a local used bookshop for $5.  So far it's not bad!  Beat the first level and it seems to retain the spirit of the game.


Cool.  I'm going on a camping trip for a few days so hopefully I'll get to spend some quality time with it.  I'll let you know if I end up not caring for it (though I find that hard to imagine).

If you ever want to sell that, I'll buy it.  (http://junk.tg-16.com/images/pcgs.png).

Hey Ninja! Nice to hear from you (http://junk.tg-16.com/images/pcds.png)

Folks here have scanned all the PCE Rockman stuff (from the same fellow who sells bootleg Sapphire & Fantasy Harrier), but while you are waiting:

Megaman/Rockman PCE thread

Bootleg PCE (http://sapphire.anime4ever.de/)

There's another thread ("NES emulator") that documents the Megaman PCE project and Tom (Bonknuts) finding an ebay auction of said project.

They were so funny, I had to spend $5 on them.  Not sure if I am going to actually use them...  seems like a decent chance it is just poison. 

When I was in NYC they were for sale in a cigar shop, but then I later saw them in two different delis, so apparently the product is pretty popular.

I wonder if it is an officially licensed Capcom product?

Dang, that thing is awesome! The screen looks pretty nice. And are those speakers on the side?
Just the fact that it was made by IREM is enough to make me want it.

Too bad the screen doesn't have some kind of protective cover or folded the other way or something. Then it would be actually pretty cool to throw in a bag with a briefcase unit to take on long trips to remote islands without TVs!

Ah, beautiful, a Chrono Trigger cart. I own one myself actually - it was a Christmas gift (at $79.99) from a friend's mom, so I lucked out (would've had to settle for renting it if not for that being that it was my High School days)! I remember getting to play it all through my 2 weeks of Christmas break. Good times!

Picked up a Retrode a couple weeks ago at the Vancouver Retro Gaming Expo.
Technically it's a Retrode 2 I guess...
It lets you plug SNES % Genny games into your computer/smartphone/tablet
More info here: http://retrode.com/
Love it.

Would like to see a PC Engine & TG16 adapter.  Apparently one could be made to use in the SNES port.

Made a couple other misc pickups at the Expo too...
nothing to make your eyes pop out, well maybe WCW/NWO World Tour.  No?  ok then.

I had to leave the show just as the 1-on-1 N64 Goldeneye tournament was about to start.  /sigh
Can only leave the family at the aquarium for so long.  At some point it becomes neglect or something... :lol:

Yeah, Splatterhouse 2 is an awesome title! Had to wait around a while to find a decent price on it for the JP Mega Drive. There are some other great games in there as well, like Phantasy Star II, Castlevania Bloodlines, and the 32X version of Night Trap!  :P

Got a ton of stuff heading to me in the mail at the moment but here are a few recent pick-ups. Been collecting Games Express games these days for some reason... Also got a couple cool little guidebooks for some RPGs/SRPGs with full color maps, etc. The Toilet Kids is practically brand new, and I had to settle for a loose Cloud Master as I can't find a complete copy at the moment...

Yea I noticed she sent me the original Night Trap and the 32X one. When I opened the box I wasn't expecting all those awesome games. I called her and asked if she wanted any money. She said no I know u collect games and figured you would want them. I'm still blown away I told her you could eBay this and get a good chunk of money. Gotta love family.

We thank you *Greatly* for your support. We're just sorry the games on the first cards are so.....unfinished.

For those who want to know, all of that money is going towards getting the boards professionally made and buying tsop chips, so the next batch will be thinner. And possibly prettier :)

Again we thank everyone for their support. It wouldn't be possible without it.

I also recently picked up a couple physical games, a dice game (Catan) and another co-op strategy game (LOTR).  Both have been a lot of fun so far.  The GBA game is Pinball of the Dead.

The only other Fantasy Flight game I've played is War of the Ring and, honestly, I haven't completed a game yet, and I've started two or three games.  It so complex.  :shock:  But it came with so many cool minis.

This new one's much more manageable.  I've only played it once so far, and lost, but it was tense!  It'll get played again soon.

Ok, now I'm really off to play the Protocade!

BTW Ark, what is up with the torn piece of paper with the letter on it? roflmoa has on with a "P" on it in the pic and mine says "Y"? Any importance to them? I nearly tossed mine, but figured I find out first.

It's like a cross between Catan and Yahtzee.  You roll 6 dice and use the resources that are rolled to build roads, settlements and cities.  You earn victory points for settlements and cities as well as having the longest road and having the largest army.  So in those respects it's pretty faithful to the original game.  However there is no trading between players, and there is no thief.  The good thing is it can be played with only 2 players (as opposed to 4) and it's also fun to play solitaire.  

The game also comes with 2 rule variants.  The second variant is a little more strategic (and maybe a little more challenging to learn), but I think it captures the essence of the original game better.

Also, the games only take about 20-30 minutes to play, which is nice.

I found it at a nearby Books A Million for $15.  I'd recommend it if you're looking for something that's rules and strategy light and plays quick.

PS - On an unrelated note, I am also curious as to why the Protocade card came with a letter "P". :D

Picked up a Retrode a couple weeks ago at the Vancouver Retro Gaming Expo.
Technically it's a Retrode 2 I guess...
It lets you plug SNES % Genny games into your computer/smartphone/tablet
More info here: http://retrode.com/
Love it.

Would like to see a PC Engine & TG16 adapter.  Apparently one could be made to use in the SNES port.



Hey Liquitek, I'm here in Burnaby...but I never heard about this Retro Game Expo???! Where did they hold it? I'm probably going to the Fan Expo at the Convention Centre at the end of the month, which seems to be a convention for Gamers, TV/Movie/Anime fans, and a little for Comicbook fans.

I also switched from Verizon to virgin mobile, but i have to go switch my phone because the dude told me the htc wild fire s has 1gig processor and it doesn't. it has a 600meg processor.

Got a few games recently but I just packed them up with my other stuff prepping for the move. But while I was packing just now these guys arrived. Got a good deal on this lot of hardware, including a Victor Wondermega, making it my third Wondermega RGM1 (the other two are SEGA models). Have to say I have a soft spot for Wondermegas, and this one was probably the filthiest, most abused Wondermega that's ever existed. It was covered in dirt, dust, and what looked like mud. It was just as filthy as the Famicom in the photo, but after a quick clean it is starting to look a lot better. And most importantly it works like a charm, with Mega-CD playback, lights, mechanized CD lid and all!

In my experience these machines are so solidly built that they are basically indestructible, so if you ever happen to see a cheap Wondermega in bad condition, pick it up as chances are it will work just fine. At the very least you'll have a Mega Drive with the best possible video output (better than RGB mods in my opinion) and awesome sound enhancements, and most likely a working Mega CD to boot.

Hey Samurai, how would you compare the WonderMega to the Sega CD-X (North America release) in terms of features, are they pretty much the same?

Post by: Joe Redifer on April 12, 2012, 10:53:40 AM
The North America release was the X-Eye.  The CD-X is something else.  The X-Eye lacks the s-video and I believe also lacks the useless karaoke functions.

The North America release was the X-Eye.  The CD-X is something else.  The X-Eye lacks the s-video and I believe also lacks the useless karaoke functions.

Thanks Joe! (great episode on the Gamecube btw)
I was actually wondering about the differences between the "X-eye" vs. the CDX...which one is better for a total Genesis/CD in one system? Are loading speeds the same thing? I'm kind of wanting to see if its like comparing a Suitcase PCE vs. a Duo, I heard the Duo is a faster loader then a standard Suitcase or Turbo CD setup. Dunno if it's true, Just curious...

It actually still plays CD-G, and has the mic input as well, but yeah, just as useless. Except for parties of course!

I think it uses a different encoder but ive never seen a direct comparison.  I know the composite on my wondermega 2 looks great.  Not sure how identical the wondermega 2 and x eye are

The X'Eye uses the CXA1145 encoder like the model 1 Genesis and original Wondermega do. It's a little better than what you get out of a Genesis but not by a whole lot.

The Wondermega also has the following DSP effect buttons (and level controls under the sliding control panel):

(http://www.segagagadomain.com/hardware-mega/wonder-dsp.JPG)

Pretty sure the X-Eye and Wondermega 2 don't have these.

True, I never use my Wondermega for Karaoke, but the DSP effects are far from useless! The "game" setting sounds absolutely amazing, especially on a good stereo system or powered headphones. If you like Genesis/Mega Drive music, imagine it with a lot more punch, and with crisper sound. For a game music fan the DSP effects on the Wondermega is almost as important to me as the S-video.

Nice Wondermega, those things always command big $$$. Not sure I understand your remark about video quality, are you implying that the Wondermega's s-video output is better than the Mega Drive's RGB output (which doesn't require a mod by the way, the Mega Drive outputs RGB natively)? My Mega Drive has great RGB output.

I've been on a Famicom buzz of late myself, and managed to nab Rob, a block set and some brand new 3D glasses:

Nice boxed pickups!

I honestly didn't know the Mega Drive had SCART output without requiring mod! As a long time Mega Drive fan that's big news to me. Kind of a moot point for me personally, because I don't have a SCART capable TV at the moment, but I'd be interested in seeing a comparison between the Wondermega S-Video and the Model 1 RGB output. I'm sure the RGB would be a bit sharper, but practically speaking I don't see how it could that much better than the S-Video I'm getting now, which is just so bright and crisp. But the real deal breaker is the better audio and built in Mega-CD functions, plus the look of the system. Best looking console ever made in my opinion!

I agree, the Wondermega is awesome! Don't think I'll ever own one though due to their cost, but one can dream.

Re the Mega Drive, it does indeed have native RGB output and I utilise it as its composite output is horrible. If you don't have a scart TV, you can always use a scart to component transcoder and the results are wonderful.

I took some comparison shots a while ago, to illustrate the difference between composite and RGB on a Mega Drive.

(http://www.sentinelgames.com/Retro/documents/MegaDrive_RGB_vs_Comp_01_ezg_2.png)

^ This is on a scart TV, RGB on the left and composite on the right. Note how much more detail comes through in RGB, especially noticeable on the shop window in the background.

On a similar topic, even the Master System has native RGB output.

It's a catalog of all the PCE games (PC Engine Hyper Catalog, Volume 6A and 6B) plus demos (Neo Nectaris was featured, for example...). Several companies released CD-ROM databases + mixed media entertainment like this (Ultrabox from Victor Musical)... (http://junk.tg-16.com/images/pcgs.png)

I wanted to write a "History of Console Game Demos" to determine if the PCE was the first console to offer demos. I never got anywhere. For all I know, the Nintendo FDS had demos!

Erp. Sorry for posting twice in a row.  These just recently came in:
(https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-tl01sSPDh2g/T48mxI_Zd_I/AAAAAAAAD94/7P4hOPo4APA/s873/Pickups_120418_Crystal+Chronicles_GC_Sol_Divide_PS1_Image_Fight_PCE.jpg)

Image Fight is a lot harder that YouTube makes it look.  Wow...  Also, it arrived in only 8 days, from Japan!  Thanks again, Hit-Japan.

The other two were picked up at a local used book-and-stuff store, "2nd and Charles".  I've never tried either but for $9 for the two, I figured it was worth the risk. 

Looks like Sol Divide sold in the Dollar Stores and Big Lots for something like $1. It's part horizontal shooter, team beat-em-up, and RPG.  I hear it's pretty short.  I've only played it for like 20 minutes, but I think it's pretty fun.

I've never played Crystal Chronicles and know some folks that love it and some that hate it.  I've been recently playing another Gamecube game, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, so have been wanting to pick up another console exclusive title.  This fit the bill.  Maybe I'll have to get another GBA SP and a couple link cables so my son and I can play co-op.  In a couple of years. :)

As for me this just came in the mail:

Finally a Supergrafx!!  :D  Once I get the extension on my house built I might have enough room to hook this thing up to the Super CD and vacuum into the sunset :dance:

Anyone have a copy of 1941 Counter Attack up for trade by the way?
Title: Re: teh "what did you buy today"-thread
Post by: henrycsc on April 18, 2012, 11:13:50 PM
Congrats Samurai Ghost.  You almost need a house addition to fit the vacuum configuration.

The last copy of 1941 I saw for reasonable was in a full SGX lot.  That might be your best bet.  Lots of people looking for that one, so good luck with the hunt.

Yeah, those things are jive.

Bernie: I put composite/audio/svideo jacks on the back of a model 1 Genny exactly where those are, then noticed that my power base converter no longer fit on there. I was miffed, so I moved them. Now the thing has 4 pointless holes on the back =(. That one looks to be in great condition btw.

Alleyway's pretty fun.  I can see it being a good travel game.

That's weird, I wonder if it has a problem with Street Fighter's architecture or something? If it's a problem with the HuCard itself I've got another copy I can send you to replace it, just let me know!

As for me, I got some other stuff that I'm not going to unwrap until after I move, but I finally got a minty fresh Soldier Blade. One of my all time favorite HuCard games, and one of my favorite shooters on the PCE.

I'm sure it's just because of the ridge on the hucard, I'll test it when I get my region modded express. I've never seen a broken huey so I'm sure it's fine.

also off topic, I love your X68000 setup

Yeah, it might be a physical problem as the card is fat. Weird the clone console wasn't designed to accept them though, but I guess there are only a couple games with that design. If it does end up being a bad card, just let me know and I can replace it for you any time. Pretty sure I tested that particular game but let me know!

Lilgrafx, I had to really be finicky with SF2 on my converter, before I could get it to play.  Additionally, it would have a solid colored screen for 3-4 seconds, before it turned on.  I kept turning it off before i waited, becuase i assumed the solid screen meant the game wasn't playing.

As of today I am the not so proud owner of not one, not two, but whole of three broken CD-ROM2 units for a pretty rubbish price too I might add.

Needless to say my little SMJ venture went about as badly as could be imagined. All that is needed now to end this whole affair on the lowest most note is for that rather expensive library of games I got in conjunction to arrive and my discovering that some were indeed being sold loose without advertising the fact properly.

Oh well, live and learn. I'll stick to eBay until I forget this little lesson in a few years.

No kidding, I bought about 2200 yen worth of stuff on Yahoo Japan a couple of months ago through SMJ, and it wound up ballooning to over $80. Yeouch. They also understate the exchange rate by about 5 yen for BS reasons so I haven't been there since.

What inflated the price the most on that item was the seller apparantly charging me 4000 yen for shipping on that 1000 yen item. On a normal auction site you could try to talk it down or cancel the purchase. But here you first find out how it all went down after all is said and done, when SMJ sends you the bill.

Only way SMJ works is if you buy something really rare and expensive that sells with pretty meaty premiums on ebay. Like, say, a PC Engine LT. Then the fees will pale next to the end price.

For things belo 10000 yen it does not pay.

Bloodlines originally shipped in a plastic clamshell, then was re-released in a cardboard box. It was one of those games released in the middle of Sega's atrocious decision to put games in flimsy cardboard. I always hated that.

The plastic clamshell is more sought-after and a little pricier since its seen as the "first printing" of the game.
Title: Re: teh "what did you buy today"-thread
Post by: Bernie on April 25, 2012, 05:21:30 AM
I was able to get this one for 39.00 shipped.  BUT, it wasn't an easy find.  Most clamshell ones were way higher, and the cardboard box version can be gotten for around 30-50 easily.

I enjoyed Bloodlines, just like part 3, u could use someone else besides Simon...the dude with the spear is uber-powerful! (dunno why he's not on the box art at all....)
Anyways, this was in the batch of wicked Konami games that happened right after they did a contract to finally make games for Sega i think... What a way to make an entrance with Contra: Hard Corps, Castlevania: Bloodlines, Sunset Riders, and TMNT!

There wad a loose copy at game store near me for $14- i passef on it for a few months while I lurked Ebay... Then I decided it was a prety okay deal and bought it. It really is a great game. Not too challenging but lots of fun.

Only downside is a some of the games are in Japanes when you rin them through the converter. So that wonder boy I have there becomes the Japanese version. But yeah it sounds awesome, especially the bios playing the Space Harrier theme over and over.

I just had to do this given the fact this music piece is legendary and makes best use of both the Master System's PSG and YM2413 chips. For this variant, I used samples from the Megadrive's YM2612 chip (including percussion) and its PSG chip (for authenticity, as the SMS and MD's PSG chip is identical) alongside the NES' sound processing chip. It may not be the best version of the theme out there, but I enjoyed recreating this piece in an experimental style I enjoy, so I hope that you all enjoy it too. ^_^

Hey folks.. i haven't been on for a while.. trying to move back to Japan currently!  wish me luck...

Deadite - I am really in need of getting a nice JP SCART TV.. will PM you for sure and ask you where to look if I decide to move back.  I'm going insane trying to figure out how to play in RGB without one!  Look at the pictures I took from my TV screen comparing my current options. 

It seems my current option (upscaling via HDMI convertor) not only is losing some black color brightness (pic is too dark), but also is distorting the picture to make Ken look fatter than he is.  Not to mention the barely-toleratable screenlag..  :cry: :cry:

Nice boxed pickups!

I honestly didn't know the Mega Drive had SCART output without requiring mod! As a long time Mega Drive fan that's big news to me. Kind of a moot point for me personally, because I don't have a SCART capable TV at the moment, but I'd be interested in seeing a comparison between the Wondermega S-Video and the Model 1 RGB output. I'm sure the RGB would be a bit sharper, but practically speaking I don't see how it could that much better than the S-Video I'm getting now, which is just so bright and crisp. But the real deal breaker is the better audio and built in Mega-CD functions, plus the look of the system. Best looking console ever made in my opinion!


You're in Japan right?  Getting an RGB TV here is extremely easy.  PM me if you want details.
Title: Re: teh "what did you buy today"-thread
Post by: SuperDeadite on April 28, 2012, 10:38:11 PM
SCART to HDMI converters suck, the only one that works well is the Framemeister, which is expenisve but a wonderful option for people who insist on ugly LCD displays with HDMI input.

A cheaper option is to use an RGB -> VGA upscan converter.  Which is basically the rest of the XRGB/DISPL line.  The one you want will vary on what you really want to play with it.

The cheapest option is an RGB CRT.  A Sony PVM in the USA can usually be gotten for $50 or so depending on size.  Here in Japan there are tons of old TVs witch take RGB, you just have to know what to look for.

That seems to be true. I bought one earlier and not only had I problem displaying some content (including my Duo), it also made the image 16:9 at all times and for some reason I was unable to select 4:3 as a display mode on both TVs I tested it on.

Well, there are other scalers as well, besides the XRGB-ones. Since I have a bunch of PAL consoles as well, I heard the Framemeister had problems witht PAL and I'm not sure a VGA solution would work for me. That's why I'm on the hunt for a DVDO VP20 or VP30 with the ABT102 deinterlacing card, which also can output in HDMI.

Nice Master System pick ups! Master of Darkness is a title I want to pick up for sure as both a Castlevania and Master System fan.

Here's my haul from Akihabara. Won't be back in Japan for at least a year so I made sure to pick up some titles I've been wanting before I left. Ninja Princess in particular, and it's in great shape for a MyCard game. Got all of these at Retro Friends and Traders, two great shops in Akihabara if you are ever there. Great selection and prices.

It's just the first Battle Mania one so it's not too rare or expensive. Battle Mania II usually fetches at least 12,000 yen or so...

Yeah a lot of Master System games are brutally difficult, which is part of the reason I like them so much. Happy I could pick up a nice copy of this for a good price. I always saw it loose or in bad shape, or for like $20, but I got this copy in great shape for 750 yen which I thought was a good deal. My Master System is still being freighted to me so I won't be able to play it for a while though...

I'm in Japan and am thinking about getting a different TV. I've actually got a Keene RGB-to-Component converter that I'm pretty happy with, but a straight RGB TV would work just fine. Either way, I'd like a 32 or 36 inch 4:3 CRT set.

Can you guys tell me about that a little? Maybe I should make a new thread.
Title: Re: teh "what did you buy today"-thread

Pretty much evey Sony Wega CRT takes RGB via the AV Multi plug.  Such as this one:
http://page5.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/e126156587
Then you just need an adapter like this one.
http://page6.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/f115447857

There are other options, but mostly smaller sized.  You can usually get a nice 21 inch Wega in Hardoff for like 1,000yen these days.  Larger sizes like 32 inchers do exist, but be aware they are very heavy.  I have a 29'' Trinitron and it weighs about 150lbs.

Thanks for the links!

Weight doesn't bother me too much. I had a heavy JVC 32 inch set back in the States, and once I got the thing set up, it was perfect.

Now I have a 27 inch Toshiba set that has component inputs (which, again, is fine) but also has a little gash on the screen and a couple other little quirks. Ideally, I'd get a quality 32 inch set as my main and turn this sucker on its side as a permanent tate screen. :)

Hard-Off has cheap sets, you say? It's funny, most of the used shops around me sell decent CRTs at like 15,000 yen. I know people are trashing CRTs like crazy, so I ought to be able to get one for far less than that.

In a hidden nook of eBay, where else?

This one is coming home after a long trip to Germany.

The auction description mentions nothing of any games being included, si I guess the pack-ins were swiped somewhere along the way.

After two years of waiting I had almost given up on it, so when one fair auction showed up I decided I would be willing to go as high as 600, which was what I paid for the PS3 back in the day.

This should be my last decadently expensive hardware purchase unless I suddenly grow fond of the Neo Geo library, which is not likely.

$600?, no offense dude but that's $300 more than what I would have spent, especially since it didn't come with the original power supply and given the propensity of the capacitors going bad. Nice lookin system though..

It does come with the original power supply, that brick you see next to it is a voltage converter to use by the German gent who owned this specimen and apparently never played it.

Having been following the Duo scene on and off since 2009 I can safely say that 300 will definitely not net you a mint Turbo Duo. It might net you a banged up boxed unit if you find the right seller. I don't know about the going rate of mint Japanese PC Engine Duos as I've never seen one in mint condition for sale anywhere. But even then I doubt 300 will cut it.

I was hoping against hope that the auction would settle around 400 but based on previous mint auctions I was fully expecting it to go above 500. I think it being a German listing thinned out competition a bit. I've definitely seen boxed Turbo Duos go for more. Last mint I saw sold for over 600 I think.

I recently sold a dup game in my collection for 150 which means this thing only cost me 350 cash, so no big deal.

But on another subject, while I've often heard of the Sharp 68000 this is the first time I've actually seen a picture of one. I am very surprised to see how well designed it is. The mental image I had of it was a typical mid 90's ugly beige PC box. I forget that Japan was once a leader in the field of elegant consumer design.

By the way, do those floppies still work? I remember 1.44 floppies, they were one of the worst unreliable rubbish ever designed for computing use.

I bought that x68000 system as "junk"  it was 10000 yen with the keyboard, mouse, system disks and manuals.  While I plan to fully refurbish it, I did power it on and can confirm that both floppy drives work perfectly!  Just has low audio which I already know is capacitors like Duos.

Also, that is a compact model and isnt as elegant as the twin tower units.  Those use 5.25" floppies whereas the compact uses 3.5".  Most original software is on 5.25" disks so you typically have to write your own floppues for the compact units.

Think of the x68000 as a super powerful 16 bit gaming system.  Ill pick the x68k version over the console version of any game I can.  There are a few exceptions of course but generally the x68k version is way better.  Cotton is a great example of this.

A remake of the first Castlevania which has some of the most beautiful parallax scrolling in the entire series. The computer was also used by Capcom as a development unit for their CPS-1 arcade boards. Needless to say you can find lots of arcade perfect translations of popular Capcom arcade games.

Hybrid?  It's a computer lol.  Just had very advanced graphic chips for it's time.  It's built more like an arcade machine then a conventional computer.  The game list is quite huge, the majority are arcade ports which are often better then the originals due to lots of extra features like MIDI sound module support.  Being a computer there are things you have to learn to use one properly.  And the floppies can die, but the 5.25 disks are generally very durable.  Out of my stack I have one dead doujin, and one game with a few glitches.  Here's my current stockpile:

Well the games are actually very cheap here in Japan.  Though they could in theory die on you at any time.  The hardware can be pricey, but once you get the setup, games don't cost much at all except for a few notables.

Yeah if I ever move back I'd probably get a set up going. There are just too many awesome games for it! Would love a nice MSX setup as well. But I have a lifetime of collecting ahead of me, and I think I'm going to concentrate on my US Master System collection while I'm living in the US.

Hybrid is my name for those computer systems that had special game development friendly hardware built in. Think something like the Amiga. If the graphics hardware has support for hardware sprites, scrolling etc. I think of it as a hybrid because it was obviously designed with game development as a priority unlike the early days of the PC which just gave developers a frame buffer to write pixels into and a palette to manipulate.

According to Wiki the later models of the system came with support for SCSI hard drives. Can you backup games to the drive and run them from there?

I am guessing not without some hacking, right?
Title: Re: teh "what did you buy today"-thread
Post by: BlueBMW on May 02, 2012, 08:03:42 AM
Games can be installed and run from hard drives.  There are also ways to use a scsi to ide to compact flash setup though ive never messed with any of that stuff.  Deadite would know more as I beleive he said his system has a 40mb hard drive in it.
Title: Re: teh "what did you buy today"-thread
Post by: Opethian on May 02, 2012, 08:15:59 AM
you need over 4MB of RAM on a system to run games of the HDD (6MB for those games that require 4MB on disk) Id love the SCSI > CF or SD solution as finding a reliable drive that old is a gamble at best.

If you're hardcore about the 8/16bit gaming generation and have already delved into all the mainstream stuff, the x68000 is a nice new avenue to go down.
Title: Re: teh "what did you buy today"-thread
Post by: kamiboy on May 02, 2012, 11:45:50 PM
Yeah, it certainly looks like it. In many ways the X68000 is like having a versatile arcade board, and one that comes in one of the sexiest computer cases this side of Apple.

But those prices make the Duo I bought look like a bargain. I may pick one up if I get to go to Japan next year. Those monitors are very sexy as well but given weight/bulk they are out of the question.

What resolution does the X put out when running most games? VGA? 240p?
Title: Re: teh "what did you buy today"-thread
Post by: BlueBMW on May 03, 2012, 12:54:54 AM
Games typically run in either low resolution (15khz) or high resolution (31khz)   so it can be a little tricky funding a good display for the system.  Older vga monitors will accept the 31khz signal (640x480 iirc)  but likely wont accept the low resolution signal.  You can use an expensive scaler unit or find an original sharp monitor that accepts all three resolutions (15k, 24k and 31k).  Few games use mid res 24k.  If you just stick to 31k games, you can still have a lot of fun.
Title: Re: teh "what did you buy today"-thread
Post by: Opethian on May 03, 2012, 02:25:44 AM
IIRC Capcom games pretty much all default to 15k so you have to blindly navigate to the options menu to change to 31k
Title: Re: teh "what did you buy today"-thread
Post by: SuperDeadite on May 03, 2012, 02:40:12 AM
After Burner is probably the worst offender, as it defaults to 15khz and has to be changed via menus.  The issue is it only supports analog control via mouse or cyberstick.  Good luck doing that blindly. :)
Title: Re: teh "what did you buy today"-thread
Post by: kamiboy on May 03, 2012, 03:07:41 AM
Well, good thing I have NEC 29" multisync CRT monitor then. That thing is a miracle, it accepts anything you throw at it, even above SVGA resolutions and the picture quality is a dream.

For now I am going to put the x68000 in the "would be nice if" pile along with the NEO GEO and Amiga 500. But given how attractive the library looks I'll prolly end up getting it some time in the future.

Funny you bring those up as I managed to acquire both an Amiga 500 and an AES within the past few months. I'm still hoping to pick up an X68k sometime this year as I already have a game for it (Geograph Seal) but I'm still a long way off from affording one.

The worst part of the AES is that while the hardware is quite expensive the library actually  dwarf it in terms of price. I had delusions of one day getting the AES just for the privilege  of playing the Metal Slug games as they were meant to be played. Then I saw the prices and that was that.

I swapped out my MVS collection for AES last year and definitely don't regret it. Most of my favorite Neo-Geo games are of the early 90's variety (the ones I actually played in the arcade as a kid), and those games can be had pretty cheap. The most I've paid for a game was $110 for a mint copy of KOF '98. The second highest was $45 for Crossed Swords. It's really not that bad.

Once you get past about 1994 or so then you're really talking bucks - obviously the biggest culprit is the Metal Slug series. There's always the MVS-converter cart if you gotta have Metal Slug on your AES.

Games can be installed and run from hard drives.  There are also ways to use a scsi to ide to compact flash setup though ive never messed with any of that stuff.  Deadite would know more as I beleive he said his system has a 40mb hard drive in it.
I took a dive into SCSI hell a couple years ago with an E-MU sampler from the mid-Nineties. I had dreams about using CF cards instead of Zip disks and it turned into a nightmare. Last I checked, SCSI to IDE adapters have become really expensive.

Lol scsi to ide!  Now thats something from the early 90s!  I actually had one ISA card that provoded scsi out.  Never seem scsci to ide tho..

I am still running a scsi pci card to this day.  Love these old scsi drives.

That 128 is only compatible with certain games.  I believe its only a handful really.  Each game that can use it, has its own interface as well.

Nice boxed save-kun!!

To use it, make sure you install batteries, if required. Plug it directly into the controller port on your console, then plug your controller into the port on save-kun.

Pop in a compatible game, preferably something from KOEI like a nobunaga's ambition game. You will now be able to save your game through the in-game save menu.

Actually in this case that's not the issue.  The data is still there and the game does boot.  The issue is that this game was not properly cared for, and the disks are covered with mold making the disks unreadable.

That consolized stuff is contrary to how I am wired so it is a no to that. But this whole talk did net me knowledge about the a certain expensive MVS to AES converter though. Looks like I might realistically be able to get me a mint boxed NEO GEO AES + the MVS Coverter II (because the new one comes in the ugliest blue I have ever seen) and the entire Slug Series in AES form + Shockboxes + nice covers for little over a grand.

Back in 04 i had a aes plus a phantom 1 converter.Still all i could aford was it's early release,plus the converter i had didn't play every game perfectly.With the phantom 1 i got glitches with some some games graphicly etc.It wasn't befor long befor i sold it all and switch to a cmvs 2-slot.Sure it doesn't look like much but it pays itselfs off in the end since games are dirt cheap on the mvs.

Btw keep in mind some mvs to aes converters don't play every game perfectly.

Still this is the latest one that is supose to be good.

Yea I already tried it for a bit. The game is real fun. The 2 other bonk games in the 3 in 1 disc are good too

There's also a code to play the first Bomberman on that disc as well.  I haven't used it in awhile, but I think at the game selection screen you press up, right, down, left, then button II (not sure about which button) and you should hear a chime and Bomberman will load up.

Congrats on getting that disc!  There's a ton of grade A prime gaming found in there.

Back in 04 i had a aes plus a phantom 1 converter.Still all i could aford was it's early release,plus the converter i had didn't play every game perfectly.With the phantom 1 i got glitches with some some games graphicly etc.It wasn't befor long befor i sold it all and switch to a cmvs 2-slot.Sure it doesn't look like much but it pays itselfs off in the end since games are dirt cheap on the mvs.

Btw keep in mind some mvs to aes converters don't play every game perfectly.

Still this is the latest one that is supose to be good.
http://www.neo-geo.com/forums/showthread.php?230313
Also there is a mod for the phantom 1 that is supose to adress the issue i talk about.
http://www.neo-geo.com/forums/showthread.php?227342

If you ask me i think a aes&converter is a waste given what you pay for in total.My advice i think a cmvs is a better choice you get it all in one.


I know the converters don't play nice with every game but I am pretty much just buying into NEO GEO for two reasons, I love the stylings of the AES, which rules out any consolized stuff, even the ones made to look the part, and for the Metal Slug series. There really are less than 5 none Slug games on that system that I am sort of maybe interested in getting. But the slug series is so good that they justify the price of the system, that along with how good the AES looks. What can say I like good looking systems, otherwise I wouldn't pay so much to buy them mint.

That new garish blue converter is a no go as well, who the hell wants to buy a 400+ sexy system and stick that ugly clown hat on it? What were they thinking with that colour choice? Luckily the older revision was black so I am getting that one.

Besides I refuse to believe that games with such heavenly pixel art could ever suck. Or rather I would be too busy being mesmerized to notice. I don't have a 2-player fetish, but I do have a pixel art one.

I just secured 2 and X for 115 shipped and they both come with those nice shockboxes. That is a price point were I am willing to experiment and potentially get burned, damn be all.

You realize you just bought 2 copies of the same game right?  X is just 2 with ugly colors and harder difficulty.  It does get a lot less slowdown (ie the better version for 2 player mode), but the ugly colors are ugly.  2>>>>>>X

No I didn't know about X being a revised 2, I don't care though, if I am going to pay the price for the system I might as well get the whole set. It is not like there are any other games in the NEO library that interest me.

I've only heard of Metal Slug 5 having issues with the Super MVS converter II and only with NEO GEO systems that do not come with a 5V power adapter.

I don't have any NEO hardware yet, I am saving that for later, getting the games first.

The new garish blue MVS converter 2011 is supposed to play everything, or pretty much everything without any problems.

The previous model, the MVS Converter II needs an external adapter for certain games if you have anything but a 5V NEO GEO system. Also the MVS II has graphical problems with games that use scaling, like fighters and such. So far as I know it works for the Slug series which is all I need so I'll be getting that one sometimes over the next few months.

Well i've said what i think is a good neo-geo setup is so i'll leave it at that.Far as the slugs go MS2 if you just want it single player MSX if it's two players.Btw as for 4&5 MS4 was just a rehash nothing original as for MS5 it's lacking but i've played worse.Also fans do see MS3 as being the peak of the serise,but the game can drag on to long towards the end.

I hooked it up to my old DOS computer and have been discovering all sorts of great new soundtracks for all my old favorite games...

Hyperspeed, Civilization, Master of Orion, Master of Magic, Colonization, Castle of Dr Brain, Dune 2, all of them have either MT-32 or sound canvas modes that can utilize this module!  Some sound comparable to the internal SB16/Adlib, but some sound amazing!

When it comes to music I find that I am extremely biased towards the way that I heard it back in the day. Whenever I hear DOS games played on superior sound hardware that perhaps technically produce a better sound track I only tend to cringe.

I had to hunt down an old PC just so I could hear those tunes as they are rendered on actual Sound Blaster 16 hardware.

The deuce you say. The short snippets of video I had seen did not communicate that detail of import at all. Pre-rendered graphics or sprites are like a deadly sin to me, looks like I'll be skipping 6 and 7 then.

Man I remember back in the day the always mythic "MT-32" option that no one actually owned (at least that I knew anyway :) You have to try Silpheed for DOS on that bad boy - the game sounded great with just adlib audio; I've heard the MT-32 soundtrack for it is amazing.
Title: Re: teh "what did you buy today"-thread
Post by: SuperDeadite on May 10, 2012, 02:48:27 AM
The SC-55 isn't an MT-32 though.  The SC-55 can remap MT-32 notes so they match up, but it's pure simulation.  The hardware is totally different.  A real LA synth module MT-32/CM-32L/CM-64/CM-500 is the only way to listein to such games.  Also the SC-55 does not understand MT-32 SysEx messages, so any special custom tweaks written into an MT-32 midi file can not be heard on a 55.  55 is great for GS and GM though.
Title: Re: teh "what did you buy today"-thread
Post by: BlueBMW on May 10, 2012, 02:53:35 AM
The games that support sound canvas sound fantastic.  The MT 32 ones are hit and miss... likely because of what Deadite stated.

That said... the one I like the most is Master of Orion so far.  It uses the sb16 for sound effects and the canvas for music.  It sounds fantastic.

@kamiboy  dont get me wrong, the original sb16/awe32 sound is great and will always hold the nostalgia card.  Its just interesting to see what else the programmers put in these old games.

That last SNES cart is Ys III.  It's too bad the label is ripped (I wonder if I can print out a new one...) but it was dirt cheap and the game plays fine, which is all that really matters to me. :)

I usually use 409 and a toothbrush to clean a lot of my dirty systems, although more gentle cleaners are better if you can find them.

Also rotflmao what do you think of the genesis version of Twin Cobra? Love the TG16 version and am tempted to pick it up but have heard mixed reviews...

Title: Re: teh "what did you buy today"-thread
Post by: roflmao on May 13, 2012, 05:22:39 AM
PCE Kyukuoku wins.  No competition.  The NES version of Twin Cobra is surprisingly good.  I haven't played the Genesis version much, but I just don't care for it.  The graphics seem kind of stretched horizontally, and it feels a LOT harder (even on the easy level settings).  I know Classic Game Room did a Youtube review of the Genesis version where it was overall praised, but I'll stick with the PCE version.   :)

This game is pretty hard on all consoles.  I think on the PCE version I've only been able to make it 5 or 6 levels in, and that's on a good day.  The first level is really hard and took me awhile to beat.  Then it's a bit easier, because you've got a nicely powered up weapon.  But there's still a fair amount of level memorization.  Lots of enemies not only shoot at you, but also will fly right into you.  And you have to be patient when selecting the powerups since they have an erratic motion around the screen.  It's challenging, but once you learn how to play it never feels too cheap.

For cleaning games, I usually use vinegar for the contacts.  I know it's frowned upon, but it works so much better than rubbing alcohol, in my experience.  Rubbing Alcohol and/or GooGone for the cases.  The PS1 Nectaris I just picked up has permanent marker scribbled on the disc. :(  I'm not too sure if I should even attempt cleaning that off.

Post by: Samurai Ghost on May 13, 2012, 08:43:50 AM
Permanent marker shouldnt be too hard to take off, and the disc should work fine as long as it isn't badly scratched. Who writes on discs with marker though?

And yeah, the PCE Version of Kyukuoku Tiger is one of my favorite PCE games of the whole library, which is why I'm interested in trying the other versions, but I might now bother unless I find a really good deal on a copy.

That's what happened to me.  They were each less than $5 shipped which was enough for me to try out.  I wouldn't bother with the Genesis one, but I do dig the NES one.  For every PCE/TG16 game I've tried that has an NES port, I've liked the PCE/TG16 port better.  I do really enjoy Stinger for the NES.  Maybe more than Detana Twinbee, though they aren't the same game. (Stinger alternates between horizontal and vertical)

Lol.  I worked as a game tester for Sony on Rise of the Kasai. :)  But I left the company before it was completed, so I don't know if my name is in the credits.  Even back then the first was widely regarded as the better game.  I saw this one complete at a local used stuff store for $1.50 and figured I'd finally check it out.  I'm only a few levels in and it's pretty fun so far.  I haven't played it much as I don't want it on while my 4 year old is around (it's pretty violent!).

Well FYI the Genesis 1 has native RGB Scart out, so you can't really beat that unless you don't have the connections for one on your TV. All you need is the cable. A US/JP mod would be handy though. The MegaKey can be a pain at times if you don't have a JP system.

Speaking of the Genesis, these just arrived 5 minutes ago. Star Control is one of my all time Genny faves and I was happy to find a boxed copy in good shape. And I know Technocop is a pretty terrible game, I'm just a sucker for ultraviolence.

2.) Phantasy Star II w/ map
3.) Sword of Vermillion w/ hint book
4.) Super Hang-On
5.) Shadow Blasters
6.) John Madden Football (the O.G. version)

Also just found out my in-box Twin Fami has a bad belt, so I ordered a replacement. Sounds like a relatively easy fix. Anybody else here done one?

See here: http://www.famicomdisksystem.com/tutorials/fds-repair-mod/belt-replacement-adjustment/

Once you have the new belt fitted, clean the head with some isopropyl and a cotton tip and test (using a new disk if possible). Hopefully you have some signs of life, if not what to do next mainly depends on the error code. The spindle could be out of alignment, the head may be out of position, the head may be dirty, the drive speed may be wrong, etc.

Kotaku featured the action figure in a blog post and overnight the bids quadrupled...I'm willing to pay the asking price for both of these items but shipping to the U.S. is 36 Euros...ouch.

Also, the world's ugliest Virtua Fighter Jacket from the same seller:

For me I like 2 much more than 3. Two really feels like a Splatterhouse game, whereas 3 is more of a beat em up with gross monsters, which is still cool. I just like the atmosphere and difficulty of 2.

nice on terranigma! I'm a sucker for original cartridges, as that one is obviously the reproduction one, but it's a great game regardless!

I recently got a shipping scale from amazon using my gift credit (if you want to know how I get credit all the time, PM me), so now I don't have to run to the post office to ship packages all the time.

2nded.

III doesn't really bring over the origin splatterhouse feelings anymore. two is a good game, but never comes close to the original.
Tho' the pce SH is a good port, i wish they had brought over more of the gore details in the back grounds from the arcade version.

That last SNES cart is Ys III.  It's too bad the label is ripped (I wonder if I can print out a new one...) but it was dirt cheap and the game plays fine, which is all that really matters to me. :)

how rare is that PS port of MGS. i never heard about it until i saw your pic. then im watching this youtube video and this guy mentions it as being pretty rare
Title: Re: teh "what did you buy today"-thread
Post by: storino03 on May 21, 2012, 02:21:21 PM
it's basically the "bleem!(cast)" version for the Dreamcast with smoother textures/graphics and uses a swapdisc method for playing the game on your Dreamcast. It goes for $10 new on ebay right now.

It's actually a Bleemcast disc for Dreamcast.  It allows you to play MGS on your Dreamcast in a higher resolution.  The game looks a lot nicer.  You still need the PSX version of MGS to play though.  You stick the Bleemcast disc in, it'll boot up then ask for the actual PSX game disc and run off that. 

It's not very rare.  I bought it off ebay for $10 shipped.  It looks like you can still get it for $10 off ebay: http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_sacat=0&_nkw=bleemcast%20metal%20gear&_sop=15.  And I picked up MGS from a local used stuff store for $5 (It's the greatest hits edition, but complete). 

It's an official release, but Sony's lawyers shut them down pretty quickly.  They released discs to play Metal Gear Solid, Gran Turismo (I think both 1 & 2), and Tekken 3 on your  Dreamcast.  I bought the Gran Turismo one bitd (and even then I think the disc cost $5-10) and played the heck out of it.  Everything 3D in the game looks noticeably better.  Only recently did I pick up Metal Gear Solid for the Playstation, so figured I'd get the Bleemcast for it as well.

Here are the goodies I got from our very own Samurai Ghost. Everything was packed extremely well and is in great working order. SG was a pleasure to do business with and I have to thank him for placing so much trust in me  considering I was brand new to the forum and he had no idea who I was. The communication was great, his descriptions and photos were spot on, and his prices were superb. Sorry it took so long to post this, SG. But I'm sure you were too busy collecting and playing (and moving half way around the world) to worry too much :P

That's quite the boxed set!  It looks like it comes with a ton of cool stuff.  I'm a little surprised it doesn't include the original Street Fighter and/or the original Street Fighter II, if only for nostalgic purposes.

That set does look pretty neat! I agree that it would have been nice to include more games. The most interesting thing to me in the set is the video. I'm really into history, particularly of things I have enjoyed as much as Street Fighter.

Works pretty good for being over 20 years old.  Will probably need a refurb eventually, or at least a few adjustments as it has a bit of corner bowing and the picture is a little larger than the screen.  Still for how cheap it was, it looks fantastic!

Hm, I actually tried to buy Silent Hill 3 & 4 very recently. One of the reasons I gave up on the bid I had started, at least on 3, was because I learned Konami did a PS3 remake where 2&3 had been remastered to 720p HD. In the case of 4, I just got outbid and decided it was more than what I wanted to pay for a used copy. Anyway, here's the link to their new HD collection for 2&3:

http://www.konami.com/games/silenthillhd

Apparently, this version, "Silent Hill 2: Restless Dreams" is slightly enhanced compared to the original PS2 version I bought (and beat not too long ago) which irritated me a little bit (you buy a game, then years later a "special deluxe" version comes out with a few enhancements - I would've rather played THAT version!), but I'd be willing to play it again! There was something about Silent Hill 2 that had me thinking about it days/weeks after finishing it... Kind of a mind f*ck horror/love story, to say the least! It was weird, bizarre, suspenseful, interesting, freaky, etc.! Anyway, besides Metal Gear Solid 4, this gives me another reason to eventually get a PS3.

I actually heard fans damn near burned down Konami HQ when that remake came out because they re-recorded the voice actors, haha.

I had played through Silent Hill 1 when it first came out a long time ago; great game. I just picked up 2 because I heard it's hands down the best in the series. Someone already spoiled the plot for me - as someone who lost a wife to cancer it certainly sounds like it's going to hit close to home.

-Palutena no Kagami is just Kid Icarus - one of my favorites from back in the day and wanted to own the original version
-Ginga Denshou was a game I saw go up for sale and it caught my eye - I'd never heard of it. It's apparently a zelda/shooter mix and it comes with the disk, manual, an audio cassette tape all in a big box. interested to check it out.

Unfortunately I have to fix my Twin Fami's belt before I can play any of these. Might be a few weeks before I can spare the time it'll take to fix.

Bought this off Kijiji.  $250 for the lot.  The CD needs repairing, but everything else is fine, just dusty.  I was very excited to find a TG-16 CD, even if it was broken.  I was even happier to find it with the mounting base, and hard case.

If you can't make it out from the pictures;

2x TurboPad
1x TurboTap
2.0 System Card

Final Zone II, Ninja Spirit, Impossamole, Bravoman, Drop Off, Bonk's Revenge, Shockman, Soldier Blade, Keith Courage, Order of the Griffon, Dungeon Explorer, TV Sports: Football, Legendary Axe, and Pac-Land.

Thanks!  I'm still pretty stoked about this purchase.  I've started cleaning up the hu cards with a toothbrush and some mild soap and water.  Some of 'the crud' on the arrow where you place your fingers to insert the hu cards in and out of the console are filled with grime.  Twenty years of dirt and skin build up.  Quite a few of the jewel case fronts are cracked as well so they'll need to be replaced.  The hu card sleeves are in good shape, but they are pretty gross inside so I'm going to swap them with some of Seymor's sleeves.  I'm was always very proud to show off my TG-16 back in the '90's, so I'm glad I get to restore things back to their former glory and show them off again.  It gives me a real sense of pride.

Definitely not mainstream material, but if you are a fan of JRPGs that are different (not as serious) as others like Lost Odyssey or Final Fantasy XII, you may like the ones put out by NIS America.

Beamer, you should keep that copy at all costs. You never know when another will come along.

I bought a "new" (2005) TV. Its basically the best f*cking thing ever for Laserdisc, PCE, and other SD stuff. 34" of power.

(http://grab.by/dXQs)

Its 198lbs without the stand. I bought it from some fundamentalist Christians out in the country. It was playing Veggie Tales when I rescued it.

If I had one complaint it would be that it works too hard to minimize scanlines. The comb filter is so good I don't mind though.

As a bonus, it goes to 1080i and even as an HDMI port on it so I can use it for Blueray, PS3, whatever. I was watching Ponyo and Rushmore on it recently on Blueray and frankly I prefer it to my 34" Samsung LCD.

Yeah those don't display in true low-res.  Only Progressive Scan or 4x zoom so you lose the scanlines.  16 bit systems look fine, but the NES looks like shit on them though.  The Japanese models take pure RGB but this was removed from the USA releases for some silly reason.

X68K Valis II has beautiful graphics and amazing music, but the control is so horrendous it kinda ruins the game in all honesty.  Still strangely fun to to play once you adapt to the shitastic controls.  Seriously this game must have some of the worst controls ever.  Even the MSX version controls better.

Yeah those don't display in true low-res.  Only Progressive Scan or 4x zoom so you lose the scanlines.  16 bit systems look fine, but the NES looks like shit on them though.  The Japanese models take pure RGB but this was removed from the USA releases for some silly reason.

On the other hand, it should work extremely well with the Framemeister, no?

In the meanwhile, I *really* need to s-video hack my Duo...

What exact model of SONY TV is that? WEGA?

Yeah, all CRTs were Wegas at that time. The Grand Wegas are rear projectors. The model number is 34XBR960.

Zeta's new TV is the Sony KV-34XBR960.  I used to have one myself.  It's 1080i native but also does 540p.  It zooms that in a bit and you get 480p displayed in true progressive fashion.  There are scanlines in 480p mode.  240p is displayed as 480i.  I hated carrying that TV anywhere, I had to use BOTH hands.  It was ridiculous.  I eventually got a nice backpack I could fit it into, though, and soon I would bike with it to my friend's house, use it there for a while and bike back with it.

No big, just make sure you have about 90psi in the rear tire.

Exactly.  No biggie.  Granted I'd have to have 5 guys riding beside me to keep it up and then a bunch of guys riding beside them to make sure they didn't lose their balance but otherwise it was easy.

And yes, that TV runs on 2 "C" batteries.

I was always hoping to get the tuner for mine someday, TZD had sold out by the time I decided I wanted one, but given the switch to digital, good thing I didn't waste that money. Why a third TE, BTW? Triple the fun ??

You can never have enough, it was too good of a deal to pass up:)

Is that a TE case or just a case or a homebrewed one?  I wonder if anyone has connected up a HD antenna to a TE?

That is just a travelmate case. I wonder if they make a portable digital convertor?

I'm sure you prob nabbed these for like 300 yen each back in the days from HardOff .. right? :)

I finished up a major project yesterday so I thought I'd celebrate today by going to the local used stuff store to check out their game selection.  Of course there was no turbo, but I did find a few neat Genny carts:

Sol Deace
(http://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-DqHjGoAo5xg/T86kJ4QlQOI/AAAAAAAAEB0/5HEyUg5pidQ/s955/Sol+Deace.jpg)
I'd never played this one before, but had heard good things about it.  It was $5 so thought I'd give it a shot.  I think I'm going to really like this one.  Pretty impressive graphics, and is very challenging.

Hellfire
(http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-gwLm1QbtrVQ/T86kK90bcJI/AAAAAAAAEB8/d55l0Psf__o/s1078/Hellfire.jpg)
I had this for the PC Engine bitd and would really like to get another copy.  It seems like this one is slowly creeping up in price (as all PCE shooties are) so when I saw this for $5, I figured it would at least keep me company until I bite the bullet and get the PCE version again.

Wonder Boy in Monster World
(http://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-nanL0LRgBM4/T86kLxBRMWI/AAAAAAAAECE/VIKXg11by04/s1078/Wonder+Boy+in+Monser+World.jpg)
This is probably the closest I'll ever got to owning Dynastic Hero on the beloved Turbo. :)  There were numerous stickers on the label and I was able to get all of the stickers off but one.  I tried using some "Goof Off" to take the final one off, but it was pulling the paint off the label so hastily stopped. :(  It still looks better than it initially did, and for $5 I guess I shouldn't complain, but I do wish the label looks a little nicer.

Whip Rush
(http://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-OwPfdwKv4fM/T86kMaz47CI/AAAAAAAAECM/kMcvzVapsQo/s1077/Whip+Rush.jpg)
Another one I've never played before (and it's also made by Renovation, as Sol Deace is) but figured I'd give it a shot.  Initial impressions is it's not bad, but it didn't wow me from the get-go like Sol Deace did.

All in all, not a bad haul for $20, imo.  :mrgreen:

I bought a used copy of "Summer Carnival '93 - Nexzr Special" in the 90's for maybe $15-$20, not sure. I know I bought Strider ACD for $25 bucks 'bout the same time thinking I'd one day get an Arcade Card, which was dumb cause I never did, but thanks to MagicEngine many many years later, I see that I was better off just playing it with MAME. ;) Anyway, that Nexzr Special has some mighty fine music for a shooter, not like GOT, but pretty exceptional. Only complaint I recall that I had about it is that there aren't much power-ups, your weaponry is pretty basic.

If you think that version is good you absolutely have to play the Sega CD version. The redbook on that game is sick nasty - great tunes. Plus it has the cinemas from the X68000 version. And REALLY BAD voice acting

I actually want to use the day planner in the office to plan and take notes at meetings. But part of me doesn't want to defile a piece of Sega history.

If you think that version is good you absolutely have to play the Sega CD version. The redbook on that game is sick nasty - great tunes. Plus it has the cinemas from the X68000 version. And REALLY BAD voice acting

Cool!  I didn't know it was released for the Sega CD.  Alas, my setup is cartridge only.  At least for now.  I'd love to get a CD add-on one of these days.  And when I do, I'll keep my eye out for this one! :)

As a random aside the Japanese Mega CD version has additional in-game sound as well.

Sol Deace also kind of stupidly difficult to find CIB, so even if you don't have the manual you did really well for $5.  I really only play the CD version as well but that's because it's pretty abundant :D

Yeah, there's no manual.  I'm not big on cases, it's only the third Genny game of mine to come with a case.  The rest of my Genny collection are loose carts.  And the case is pretty beat up, but I would have paid $5 for it loose 'cause it looked cool. 

I haven't been able to beat the second level boss yet.  He's tricky! :) I really like the weapon powerup system and how you can change your ship's shot pattern from focused to wide spray on the fly.

Clamshell Genesis cases are teh awesome!!! Streets of Rage 2, Bloodlines and Hardcorps cases look great. Unfortunately those along with a dead E-Swat and Strider (US Gold sequel) are the only ones I have in the cases.

I ended up using a rare buy 2 get one free pre-owned coupon from Gamestop. So, I decided to use it. Then finding out the stores here close at 8pm now instead of 9pm as of a week ago and when I got there trying to get my moneys worth at $35-40 a game... I had to rush my 3rd game choice. I picked inFAMOUS 2 (which is free a week later for us PSN Plus members, lol damnit!!!). My second choice was FFXIII-2, which in someways is better than the first, but also dumbed down graphically and with just 2 main characters for the whole game. Then I picked Halo Reach due to being rushed since it was 8:17pm. I kinda picked it more so for the fact I was curious if Halo improved much and my barely casual gaming roomate tends to like the Halo games... it is all he really will play actually.

One thing I do like about this game generation, is how cheap games become after a few months now. $60 games dropping to $30 in 3 months, not too bad, lol. It is crazy how many good games just over a year old now are $20 or less typically.

Agreed.  Games these days drop in price ridiculously fast.  Which may explain why I haven't played anything new lately. :)  I guess (most of the time) I'd rather spend my hard earned money on good $5 games from 20 years ago (that I missed out on bitd) than $30 games from last year.

Though I really want to get Skyrim for the PC.  That game looks awesome.

I usually only try to collect genny games in there cases because i really like them.  As far as new games go. it is pretty awesome that they go cheap fast. i can buy the new splatterhouse and shadow of the damned on amazon new for like $10. which i am going to do soon.

I completed the attainable set today

I seriously wish that I have bought both JP Metal Slug 1 and 2 homecarts back in 2000 when they were $700 and $400. I think those were the prices then. Not only are they even more expensive now, but there's the whole "near perfect counterfeits floating around" problem.

Also, I sold my US Metal Slug 2 for the Neo Geo CD to KPJ for $100 six years ago, when I was hurting for money. At least, I can play the cracked CD-R back-up I made on my CDZ, lol. I still have my OK condition US Metal Slug 1 NGCD I got from Big Bear in '98.

BTW: A lot of free games have been added to PSN Plus this week. I have just recently downloaded Virtual Fighter 5: Final Showdown.

At local auction, ended up trading the Dynamo cab it came in to Dan at Lost Ark for a tri-sync CRT, saved me the trouble of hauling the POS home. $52 with the marquee. And hopefully I can install that CRT I traded into the Balst City cab...there is a Saturday gone!

Know anyone that uses this on an X68k?  X68k typically uses 512x512 resolution that a lot of stuff doesn't like.  I have a Micomsoft XVGA-1v and it has a special mode setting for specifically for the X68k.  The modern solution, the XPC-4 had to have X68k support added by firmware even...

Haha thats totally what it looks like! And the gameplay of the first game is indeed focused around shooting cute bears. So I had to buy it.

Edit: Haha, and I just noticed they were so careless the label was slapped on upside down on the cheap, oddly sized cart. And bonus weird instruction pamphlet. I love weird unlicensed games.

I hate the penalty stage dammit!! It's such BS but I guess that's in line with the rest of the game.

Yeah on ebay it does that's why i bought the japanese version of keio instead.The u.s version of (keio flying squadron) was a late release hence it's demand and price.

Agreed when i was rebuliding my genesis collection.Afther,getting the console again and i saw the price for a u.s keio i was like no way !! When i seen the price for the japanese keio it made easier for me to buy.It's a good thing the everdrive flash cartridge doubles as a converter.

Btw yeah keio flying squadron in way reminds me of cotton far as a cute'm up go.

I picked up Sorcery at Toys R Us two weeks ago.  They were running a promo up here (Canada)... Sorcery for $39.99 and they threw in a free Nav. Controller.  I still haven't opened either of them.  TG-16 has been keeping me busy.   :D

Exactly the reason I picked it up.  I've been waiting for it to be released since two E3's ago.  The Nav. Controller deal put it over the top.  :)

I bought this today.  It's my first real 'score' as a game hunter.  I've been visiting pawn shops, and second hand stores for a few months now.  I've seen NES, SNES, SMS, but never any TG-16 and usually the games I do find are always sports games.  The second hand store around the corner from me recently had a pile of Atari2600 carts donated, but they slapped $10 price tags on all of them.  Asteroids for $10?  I don't think I paid that back in the 80's.  #-o Anyway, I had never heard of this game, but it was Sega CD, had a MA-13 label on it, and it was in great condition.  Cost me $4.  Hopefully I'll be able to trade it for something NEC related.

Out of this World is a great game.  I've never played Part II... As a matter of fact, I didn't even know there was a part II till now.  (Looking it up on Youtube...  An exclusive for the Sega CD - Interesting.)

I'd say that's a keeper even if you don't have a Sega CD (Use an emulator to play, I guess...)

Witchaven 2 can also be seen in PP's stash. I'm a big fan of all of Capstone's FPS games, but Corridor 7 and Witchaven 2 are my favorites. I think I've played C7 more than any other FPS in the past. Very unappreciated classic, IMO...

I already have Tales of Destiny 2 on the PSP (titled Tales of Eternia (English PAL version)), but wanted the original PS1 version for my collection. Tales is my favorite series. Now, I have pretty much all the US versions or versions that were released in English.

Congrats turbokon.  I was a heavy, HEAVY Windows user and then bought an aluminum unibody MacBook back in 2008.  Now the only time I ever touch Windows is at work.  BTW, I'm still using the same laptop.  Works almost as good as the day I took it out of the box.  It's been through two OS upgrades and the hard drive is almost 85% full.  :)  Enjoy.

Some gal on craigslist had a box of SMS stuff for $160, and she accepted an offer of $130. Two systems (pretty beat up) hook ups, controllers, 3D glasses, and about 30 games (about half complete) including a couple more uncommon titles and a good selection overall. Good deal?

Sorry for the blurry pix.

I think it's an excellent deal.  What a great way to start off a SMS collection.  I was never into the system myself, but there are some great games for it.  Nice haul!  :clap:

I love that Sega Controller Stick.  The buttons are perfect for lefties!  I may need to buy one and re-wire it for my TG-16.  Back when I had a NES I constantly played games with my hands crossed.  My right thumb would be on the directional pad and my left hand would be underneath tapping buttons rapidly.

Yes, it is complete and it great condition! I've seen that title go for $25+ so it's what attracted me to the deal. I agree it's a great starter set, but I'm far from a SMS beginner as I've had the system since it was released new BITD, but I am still quite a but away from completing my collection, so I've been buying lots like these as well as individual games like crazy these days.  NSTC SMS is probably the only system I'd ever consider going for a complete collection with but it will still take me years. Condition starts becoming an issue with the instructions and inserts. The white looks great but gets dirty so easily.

As for the mod I'm definitely interested in modding my original SMS to s-video and possibly FM sound. I know they output RBG natively but I don't have an RBG capable TV at the moment. As for FM sound I'm on the fence... I have a Japanese SMS and the FM sounds great, but I also like the original audio. Can you mod it so you can switch FM on or off? I'll send you a PM.

I do 99% of my posting on these boards from my iPad. It's just too convenient. For example, I'm on the toilet right now, browsing the forums. I use my laptop for actual work, and the iPad for surfing the net and messing around.

Absolutely.  Even if neither system worked and all the games did, you'd be in the black.  Great deal.  I'm very tempted to offer something for the Hang-On & Astro Warrior cart.

While it isn't a today purchase, its an accumulation of the past few weeks. Since I'm on what seems to be a stall on PCE/TG collecting, with the ridiculous prices floating around, I've been buying up NES games. Most of these was from my saturday trip to TooManyGames in Philly as well as a pit stop to a couple local game shops. Did get to hold a complete and mint copy of Beyond Shadowgate that a game store had, but the $300 price tag wasn't doing it for me so I reluctantly left it.  :(

Can't get my pics to upload correctly, so I'll just list them.

NES
1942
Afterburner (Tengen)
Barker Bill's Trick Shooting
Baseball
Bigfoot
Crystalis - Currently in my NES, love this game!
Duck Hunt x2 (One contains Famicom adapter)
Excitebike
Golf
Gotcha!: The Sport
Gumshoe
Gyromite (Famicom adapter version)
Hogan's Alley
Joust
Kung Fu
Mach Rider
Operation Wolf
Pac-Man (Tengen)
Pinball
Q*Bert
Rad Racer
Rampage
Shadowgate
Slalom
Soccer
Strider
Super Mario Bros. 1, 2, and 3
Tetris 1 and 2
To The Earth
Ultima: Exodus
Ultima: Quest of the Avatar
Urban Champion
Volleyball
Wheel of Fortune (Wife's pick)
Wheel of Fortune: Family Edition (Wife's pick)
World Class Track Meet
Xevious
Yoshi

Famicom
Gunhed - Thought this was a shooter, but it's a turn based game similar to Military Madness. Likely to resell this one.
Star Force - Simple, but good shooter game.

To be honest the versions included with the PS2 and PS3 releases are not the MSX originals. 
They are actually ports of the cellphone versions.  Same game, but they use new character portraits
instead of what's on MSX.

MGS is awful.  One of the worst gaming experiences of the PSX generation IMO.  Stealth just drives me nuts, I just want to bust peoples faces at my leisure.  Cinema after cinema just further slows the already sleep inducing pace.

Post by: SuperDeadite on June 19, 2012, 12:32:17 AM
I really like Metal Gear 2 on MSX.  Worth the hefty price it costs these days.  And ironically it makes MGS look really half-assed as Kojima reused a lot of ideas for MGS.  Like 80% of Metal Gear 2 is recycled for MGS, which would be ok if it was full on remake, but it's not it's a sequel with a different story, makes Snake look a real moron too as a lot of plot twists are 100% the same in both games.

In that game LA >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> GS mode.  One of the best LA soundtracks on the system. 
Oh also that game has an undocumented GM mode as well.  On the MIDI screen hold XF1 and push G to select it.
Then you can use any General MIDI compatible synth like Yamaha, Korg, etc.  Your SC-55 is GM compatible,
it will sound very similar though.

Managed to get the massive full on SX-Window 3.0 System Kit for a very cheap price.  And even cooler, when I opened it, it also contained a full original set of SX-Window 3.1 (the last and greatest version) as well!  Making a great deal, and amazing lucky find.  The box for this thing is insanely big though lol.

Yes, it's a windows like OS for X68k computers.  Hudson created Human68k (like DOS), while Axis created SX-Window, which is a shell that runs on top of Human.

A long time dream come true.  Original Japanese Riot loke-test/proto pcb.  This game was cancelled after the loke-test and was never released in Japan.  (It was sold commercially in Europe though).

That Shawn of the dead: self defense looks interesting... Could you let me know how it is :)

Well I just sat through it, and it was a real meh!-experience. :(
"Zombie self defense force" was nothing like "Shaun of the dead", really. It was not scary, it was not good, and it wasn't even funny, this side of a single good joke in the whole thing.
They had obviously no budget beyond lunch for the crew, and sadly they don't act it quite badly enough to be fun.

I've been spoon-fed with really bad flicks like this in the eighties, so I could sit through it, and not "want my money back", yet I doubt I'll ever watch it again.

"Izo" on the other hand rocked!
Took me a few minutes to get into the film, but once I understood what it was about, I felt this movie had been made with me personally in mind. Great thing, truthing all the way, great inescapable nihilistic anger-fest. Add to that the fact that it guest-stars every other Japanese movie star out there.

"Ashura" I liked way more than I thought I would. The ending was stretched and broke with the mood of the whole movie, but I really liked the leading male actor's performance. The guy came from theater/musical stage background and had never been in a movie before. He completely ignored the camera, and played to an imaginary audience instead, and the director got that to actually work in this film. Remarkable. 


EDIT:

Oh, and as of the PCE games I bought:

CD Battle was a real let-down. I didn't expect it to be much of a game in the first place, as I knew its background as barcode battler rip-off. But the randomly generated characters don't make any sense. You get characters with so few HPs, they almost die all by themselves, without the enemy side having to do much. Sometimes you get characters generated that have awesome spells, but they are randomly generated to not have enough MPs to actually cast these... How dumb is that?!
Plus, I went through like maybe 20 audio CDs, and I only got a "hidden" character out of one of them. :(

Avoid this "game".

I really like Suda 51. Thats why i got it. I enjoy it. I think the controls are fine. Im not really to far yet though. I say if you arent really a big fan of suda 51 games (killer 7 no more heroes) then wait until its cheaper. Also im sad about this but im returning the DKC tomorrow to the game store. my girl bought it used for me and they charged her $40 for it. Which is way over priced for a used copy of the game.

To be honest the versions included with the PS2 and PS3 releases are not the MSX originals. 
They are actually ports of the cellphone versions.  Same game, but they use new character portraits
instead of what's on MSX.

The Vita version shows the MSX load up screen when they start.

$50 is isn't exactly a good deal for LOT. That game can be had for $30-35 with a little patience. But it's a great game nonetheless and definitely worthy of having in your collection.

Hahaha he's cool he just says that because he used to have too many games on the shelf, so he decided to sell off the shitty systems like 32x and SEGA CD. When we sold all of it we just referred to worthless systems like the 32x as darkness as a joke. Don't know why he has that opinion on PCE stuff.

Here are my recent pick ups. the Gunpey, cookie and cream, and meteos were found at good will.

(http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g71/ninja_velmor/IMG_0175.jpg)


I love DKC Returns, They need to make more. Also How is Lollipop Chainsaw? Ive heard mixed reviews on it. Some say the controls are odd and some say the games to short and the bosses too easy. Ill prolly pick it up buy when its used in a year.


I really like Suda 51. Thats why i got it. I enjoy it. I think the controls are fine. Im not really to far yet though. I say if you arent really a big fan of suda 51 games (killer 7 no more heroes) then wait until its cheaper. Also im sad about this but im returning the DKC tomorrow to the game store. my girl bought it used for me and they charged her $40 for it. Which is way over priced for a used copy of the game.


HOLY SHIT, $40 used? Yea take it back. Im sure you can find it cheaper on ebay lol.
O im a fan of Suda 51 and ive enjoyed their games. $60 not so much a fan of lol

Pity. I still feel bad for not being able to attend a reunion show though.

I was suppose to go to the show in Cleveland in July but um thats been postponed untill further notice. Im pissed to i got the AMEX preorder seats and had AWESOME SEATS. Crossing fingers they still come. The lady at the Q told me they didnt cancel so i can still save my seats. SO lets wait and see.

Got some good games in there, nice Soldier Blade too. There were tons of great Famicom games that never made it over to the US for whatever reason. A lot of really really really bad games never game over as well, but there were some good ones.

Also I see you have Hokuto no Ken in there. Do you have a Mark III or JP SMS or a converter for something else? I love Hokuto no Ken for the SMS but I have to say Black Belt is almost better because they kept the parallax scrolling from the first level in most of the game. Plus some other changes that make it worth owning both versions.

I have a Japanese SMS with a US converter. I watched a good chunk of Hokuto No Ken recently and loved it, there's 3 Hokuto No Ken games in that lot actually. That's my first Mark III game though. I have a pretty decent SMS collection but would like to replace most of it with the Mark III versions over time.

First I picked up a RAU-30 adapter with box & manual. The unit itself is in absolute mint condition and looks like it was never used. Bought it off eBay from a US seller for $50.

(http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/4035/20120701213rau30.jpg)   (http://img201.imageshack.us/img201/3603/20120701212rau30.jpg)



Of course then I needed a SuperGrafx. So I got one with with region and RGB mods, SCART cable, and a complete copy of Mad King Granzort from doujindance (eBay) for $200.

Here they are all mated together. The IFU and CD-ROM2 care of our very own Samurai Ghost (https://www.pcenginefx.com/forums/index.php?topic=5360.msg228180#msg228180).

It just allows you to hook up the SGX to a IFU because you cannot plug it in directly due to the shape of the SGX. The Super CD Rom though attaches to the back of a SGX which is a nice set up as well.

I know, but I got a great deal from Samurai Ghost on the briefcase setup so I can't complain. Placed next to the bright white RAU-30 really illustrates how discolored the units have become. I'm going to try whitening the PCE and CD-ROM2 soon.

Awesome pick-ups Deletion!

Quick question, can you still use the RGB video output of the Super-Grafx when connected to the IFU-30? In other words, can you still game in RGB when playing a CD based game? I'm guessing you could still use the video out from the Super-Grafx and then grab audio from the IFU-30?

How about some "handy" sapphire, over a decade before the PSP release? :)

YES.  =P~

I picked up a used Denon AVR 1601 . Hopefully I will be able to find some speakers and integrate this bad boy into my planned computer setup later this summer. Not looking for anything fancy but hopefully then I can say good bye to my Creative franken 3.1 setup. (Supposed to be 5.1 but I don't need those two back speakers, and the 'woofer is from a lower model since the better one just stopped working).

Thanks, Frank. To answer your question, I tested the composite video. With composite video from the SGX going to the TV and the stereo analog audio from the IFU to the TV, Hucards play fine with both picture and sound. But when I try to play a CD game, I get sound and a white screen. So either the video from the IFU does not travel back to the SGX or if it does the SGX does not output it. As I said earlier, I don't have an RGB-compatible display or a SCART converter/adapter to test with, but I'd guess the results would be the same.

And sweet posters, nectarsis!

Thanks for the response. That's a bit of a shame about not being able to play CD's via RGB. I wonder if it would work with a Super-CDROM? How does that one work, does video/audio come from the console or the Super-CDROM attachment?

I'm happy to report it does work with the "vacuum cleaner" setup. With composite going from the SuperGrafx to the TV and audio from the Super CD-ROM2 to the TV, the SCD2 does send the video signal back through to the SGX and the SGX does in turn output it to the TV.

There is at least a quarter inch of space between the switch and the bottom of the Hucard slot, so clearance is not an issue. But I could see the switch suffering damage if someone was not careful inserting or removing a Hucard. At least it doesn't stick out the front or side of the console.

alright, i've only seen a SGX a handful of times (the two times i've gone to MGC) so i couldn't recall if the slot was all that deep.
nice setup though, but personally i would've gone with a pushbutton on the SGX, better suits the form factor, but to each his own.

The latest batch...finally completed the SuperGrafx complete set with Aldynes. Plus a few other goodies. I still need to take photos of my big haul from Yamatoku on eBay but between moving and business travel I've got no time.

I've started picking up these "Wavejack" releases for the Famicom disk system. I could care less about the games themselves, it's the packaging that blows me away. Comes in a compact hard cardboard box, and packed in the styrofoam is the game on disk, a cassette tape of the soundtrack, the manual in full color, and artbook, a disk sticker and the usual batch of registration cards and whatnot. I've got two of these releases now, and as far as I know I'm only missing the third game. Check it out:

That really depends on what game you're looking at. A lot of them were like 5$ or 10$ but more expensive ones like 45$ were also listed.
But he's shipping out from Japan and the shipping will be a bit pricey.
The thread is here (http://shmups.system11.org/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=39911) if you want to look for yourself : )

The single most expensive one I got was Game Tengoku for 12$. Tho' all the Aero Dancing (or Aerowings, depending on region) ones were 24$ in total.

I played them for a little bit last night. All three are difficult but fun. On my first play-through of Last Hope (horizontal shmup) I barely did anything as I kept on dying. The graphics were not that impressive, but keep in mind I saw only the first bit of the first level :D. Fast Striker is a very-good looking vertical shmup and I made it through 3 stages on the first try. I can see myself playing this one a lot. Gunlord is a run & gun that plays just like Turrican. The controls are really good but there is so much going on. There's also no save or password feature so I doubt I will ever be able to finish this game.
Title: Re: teh "what did you buy today"-thread
Post by: Deletion on July 11, 2012, 12:41:33 PM
Akai Katana is very similar to Deathsmiles, another beautiful, frenetic, bullet-hell shooter from Cave. I like the feature of being able to change forms from the default fighter plane to a "Phantom," which is a large human form that has a stronger attack and the ability to repel bullets. The visuals, music, and controls are all good and it's just plain fun.

I feel your pain bro, I have seen tons of deals on here too. This is honestly not like most craiglist posts in my area, usually they want like $40 for a system, and four games, two of those being EA sports game from the early 90's. I saw this and was like O_o  the actual posting was just for games and controllers. When I call the guy he tells me over the phone he will throw in a Sega Genesis. He said it doesn't work, but somehow he knew I had a heart for broken systems.... =)

Hopefully it is a simple fix since it looks like it is in good condition.

Nando, the 360 can also play shooters from Japan and Europe (PAL) if they're region free. I have Espgaluda II and Mushihimesama Futari Ver 1.5 and both play fine on a North American 360. The next imports on my wish list are Muchi Muchi Pork! & Pink Sweets and DoDonPachi Resurrection.

Just got back from VGS in Chicago.  Picked up some small stuff.... and some big stuff...  I thought the original idea of the trip was to come back with LESS stuff than I left with... ha! fat chance.  Then I came home to a couple of slow boat boxes of 68000 stuff from japan... yay!

Virtual boy in blockbuster case, with all the pieces and parts + ac adapter thingy + 7 games?   $130

(http://i905.photobucket.com/albums/ac253/bmcdanold/Video Game Stuff/virtualboy.jpg)

Atari 800XL computer + Printer + tape drive lol  $70

(http://i905.photobucket.com/albums/ac253/bmcdanold/Video Game Stuff/atari.jpg)

And when I came home, three more x68000s from Japan.  One parts Expert, One Pro, One franken XVI unit lol.  Its an XVI for sure, but the right tower has the wrong shell on it and its missing the LED board.

(http://i905.photobucket.com/albums/ac253/bmcdanold/Video Game Stuff/Moar68k.jpg)

And lastly, my Roland CM-64 MIDI module finally made it in!  And there was a nice surprise inside the x68000 Pro unit... an XSIMM10 memory expansion board!  Lucky find for sure!

Recently purchased Valis III TGCD: $30 shipped and Xenogears Soundtrack 2CD: $30 shipped. I'll post pictures when they arrive. Xenogears OST is coming from Japan so I'm not expecting that for 3-4 weeks from now, and I should be getting Valis III by the end of the week.

Also bought a TPU case for my old, but still kicking Ipad 1 32GB Wifi model. :P

I think that if i were to collect turbo-cd games i would get a duo then region mod it so i don't have to go through the system card bullshit. I soon want to get my turbo region switched so i can play pce games and be a happy american boy playing the games that no one in this land had.

I picked up a Sony PVM-1910 for free from Craigslist. The owner stated his former employer used it once at a trade show and then he used it for a year at home, so the tube has plenty of life in it and the picture is beautiful. It features 900 lines of resolution and has composite, S-Video, RGB and component inputs. Because it's a pro monitor it has BNC connectors for the inputs and outputs and 3.5mm jacks for audio. Now I need to get more RCA-to-BNC and some RCA-to-3.5mm adapters.

4121   BNC Male to RCA Female Adaptor - Gold Plated
7174   Metal 3.5mm Mono Plug to RCA Jack Adaptor - Gold Plated (note these are mono because my PVM has separate left and right audio inputs; stereo adaptors are also available)

Now I just have to find out where I can get those SCART to CMPTR 25-pin parallel cables Opethian suggested.

Screen size and position can easily be adjusted on any decent monitor.  In my experience with pure RGB, certain devices like to hug to one side of the screen or the other.  Having picture adjustment options is mandatory.  Even more so if you are into arcade pcbs which use all kinds of non-standard craziness.

I tried bidding on a boxed TurboBooster on ebay 2 years ago and it went for almost $80, so I'd say yes.

eventually ol;Henry traded me his for my boxed PCE Forgotten Worlds w/3 button pad..

Here's what I picked up at Turbo Fest as well as a few other things that came in just before or while I was there:

I took a couple of closeups of the Duo for Bernie (Thanks again Bernie!)

BlueBMW worked his magic on this Duo.  I'm sure the insides look as awesome as the outside does.  Hiding in the corner to the right is a really slick region switch.

These came from Alexsduo's vendor booth.  Great guy to deal with.  I'm so happy to have Cadash back in my collection without having to drop a ton of money on it.  Thanks again!

Yeah, it's a SMS port of GG Aleste II.  It acquired some little bugs when ported to the SMS, but it's still a fun game.  No way would I spend $100+ on the actual Power Strike II on the SMS.  It looks nice, but I'd much rather just have the first Power Strike game.

Yes, fake.  Very fake.  PAINFULLY fake.  So fake I'm tempted to try to create my own.  Bear in mind, though, that GG Aleste II was called Power Strike II in the PAL region.

I know exactly how you feel. I scour craigslist daily, and make weekly trips to all the local buy&sell video game stores and always come up dry. Tons of Genesis/SNES stuff, but I get the strangest looks from people when asking about the Turbo... even if they are older than I am (I turn 34 this year). You'd think anyone who owns/runs a retro gaming store would have at least HEARD of the system...

I too am waiting for my miracle haul of TG16 stuff like every other member here seems to stumble across. One day... maybe...

God I hope so.  Having two kids really puts a damper on me attending anything like Turbofest.  I love my kids, but man I wish I could go back 10 years and waste some of my days on the road looking for this stuff.  I'm not in a dry area, but finding TG/PCE anything around Ottawa is brutal.  The worst was walking into a store called Cumleigh's on Bank Street.  They had NES, SNES, GameBoy, Genesis, SMS, but no TG.  So I asked the girl behind the counter if they had any in stock.  She looked at me with 18 year old eyes and said "Turbo-what?  Never heard of it."  I wanted to slap her across the face, but I was so overwhelmed with her comment that I just lowered my head, turned tail and ran out the door crying.  I never felt older in my life than at that point.

I know exactly how you feel. I scour craigslist daily, and make weekly trips to all the local buy&sell video game stores and always come up dry. Tons of Genesis/SNES stuff, but I get the strangest looks from people when asking about the Turbo... even if they are older than I am (I turn 34 this year). You'd think anyone who owns/runs a retro gaming store would have at least HEARD of the system...

I too am waiting for my miracle haul of TG16 stuff like every other member here seems to stumble across. One day... maybe...

Hey, if it makes you feel any better, I'm in pretty much the same boat.  It took me forever to acquire my PCE, and I still only have two games for it. :/  I've gotten lucky on craigslist recently, what with finding an Intellivision, ColecoVision, and a Saturn, but I never find any turbob.  So, best of luck to you!

Yeah, I get the same response when I asked around at places like the pawn shops, flea market and the game exchange shops.

You may have paid more but I'm sure the arcade version is a little different from the snes version haha. And Rolfmao, I only played the first 2 levels but it's seems like a quality shooter, suffers from slow down like a lot of SNES shooters but if it's only a few bucks you should pick it up.
Title: Re: teh "what did you buy today"-thread
Post by: Tatsujin on July 19, 2012, 04:32:20 PM
yeah, arcade and SFC are quite different games, but using similar elements but in a different environment or order. altough I have to say, both are more in the medicore range of classic shewties. I enjoyed the SFC one back in the days, but today, after a level of playing (especially the first very long very repetitive one) i'll hit the reset button.

there was that later level on the SFC with the zooming in space station which wasn't in the arcade and which i quite liked. when the big lasers coming down and cutting that whole thing appart. SPACE DRAMA DELUXE! LOL.

Picked up an SGX, just love the design of it:

(http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y189/fjs/IMG_2296.jpg)

I did want to grab one from doujindance mainly for the RGB (I don't like where he puts the region mod switches on the SGX) but I missed out on one he recently had at an okay price (went to a member here thankfully :)) and he wanted $300 for his last one, which isn't a bad deal I suppose given the mods and the game he included, but I couldn't bring myself to spend that much on something that essentially only plays hueys.

beautiful looking SGX.  Congrats Franky.  it is a nice machine.. looks cool as fock.  in terms of looks/design, imo it's tied with the SuperCD-Rom attachment, the Shuttle as the slickest top3.

Thanks for the comments guys.

The SGX wasn't on my radar but this one popped up at a good price and I couldn't let it go. They seem to be getting more expensive by the day and I couldn't find one cheaper, even on YHJ. I still want to grab a Duo but this will have to wait a while, for now I'm happy using my briefcase setup, I just worry about reliability.

If you've got one running I find the briefcase units to be pretty damn solid! I think they start to break down when not in use but are actually pretty well built.

Frank, I'm guessing you were referring to me about getting the SGX from doujindance. It was a good deal and I didn't want lose out on it. I wasn't necessarily planning on getting one either at the time because I knew I would then want to buy all the SGX-compatible HuCards and that could (or would) cost a small fortune. But then the release of the Turbo EverDrive became a reality and the search was on. I'm very happy I got it because it is definitely one of the coolest designs ever and soon I'll be able to play Darius Alpha and die over and over again in Ghouls 'N' Ghosts. It's too bad NEC didn't release a CD-ROM unit in a matching dark gray tone.

Oh okay, so there was a cd-rom2...super cd-rom2. Hmm. Are you talking about simply putting a system card to make a cd-rom2 unit play super cd games or was the super cd-rom2 a separate unit?

No, it's a different unit, here's a pic:

Mine is running, but the first IFU I bought was faulty so I had to buy another. The second IFU I bought works but audio seems to be low, not by much but I notice that I have to crank the volume on my TV by a few notches compared to other systems. Not sure if this is normal or perhaps a sign of failing caps. My CD unit has been solid for 2 years, middle gear was replaced with a bastardised version which does work fine but tends to make a bit of noise.

Yeah mate, the one you bought was a great deal! I had my eye on it but by the time I conjured up enough funds it was gone. I'm happy it went to you and not some bastard reseller (there's a guy who buys heaps of Duo's from Doujindance and re-sells them at incredible mark-ups).

Doujindance actually listed another SGX though, after yours, and this was the one I was referring to. He wanted $300 for it plus shipping, which would have made it close to $400 for me and that was a lot more than I was willing to spend.

Just got PCE Exile and Exile II.

Anyone else notice how broken the numbering is on this series? The PCE label for Exile 1 is labelled XZR1 (it's actually XZR2, XZR1 was not released for the PCE) and Exile 2 (WP in the US) is labelled XZR2, but XZR2 was actually Exile 1.


Ha! I forgot about that.

One needs look no further than Final Fantasy.

Interestingly, they didn't do this with "Valis II" and "Final Zone II" ... I always wondered about the earlier PCE games (I assumed they must have been on the PCE).

Bought me a NES Control Deck today!  Picked it up from Weirdguy on the CGCC forums.  Clean unit, with 2 controllers, original paperwork, original hook-ups and near mint box/packaging.  $50!  I'm super stoked as I've been looking for a NES for a few months now.  I've found at least 3 units before, but they were all in the USA and shipping to Canada always put them over $60 (US Dollars).  $50 CAD was my limit so the price was perfect.  Pics to come!!!

So my $30 Final Fantasy XIII-2 Collector's Edition came in (Xbox 360), but it arrived with the plastic torn, so back it goes! If you aren't a sealed game collector, you wouldn't understand the fixation. It's amazon's fault for not using proper shipping packaging. The replacement is being overnight shipped--should arrive tomorrow!

That still won't work otherwise I would have been all over that for the SuperGrafx episode of Game Sack.  For whatever idiotic reason (and it has been proven that NEC is nothing if not idiots) the shape of the expansion port is different in the US than it is in Japan.  Plus there is a giant wire coming out of the side, right where it needs to NOT be,  My TG-CD interface is modded with an RGB out which I can transcode to component or s-video.  I would have loved to make higher quality recordings for the episode.

As for your Turbografx kid, odds are no one will ever know who he is. Its not worth pondering over.


Um, have you seen some of the pointless, dumb, and not worth pondering over moments, mostly posted by me?  I want to know what he knows, and see what he has seen.  I am sure we can figure this one out...


I'm with alexsduo, I would love to know WHERE the dude from the TG-16 box is, WHAT he's doing now, and IF HE EVEN KNOWS THAT WE LOVE HIM.

There aren't too many communities that openly embrace the male model(s) featured on packaging of consumer electronics.

We are such a community.

And I'm serious about wanting Joe to make a mini-documentary "Where is he know" video.

Here is some of my VGS haul plus things I didn't post due to a missing camera...

(http://i719.photobucket.com/albums/ww194/Mathius78/105_0499.jpg)
My newly FM modded Sega Master System. Thanks to Jeff Lewis my little SMS is rockin to teh FM!

(http://i719.photobucket.com/albums/ww194/Mathius78/105_0500.jpg)
Here is the business side. Playing in S-Video is the only way to go with early SEGA consoles

(http://i719.photobucket.com/albums/ww194/Mathius78/105_0498.jpg)
Picked the loose Soldier Blade up at a retro gaming store in downtown Chicago.
The Star Ocean is a repro with English patch. From RetroUSB.
Picked that complete Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts up at the show along with Bonk (GB) for $15. The SGnG looks unused!

And the main event...

(http://i719.photobucket.com/albums/ww194/Mathius78/105_0501.jpg)
This is a first generation X68000 from BlueBMW. She may be old but she can still sing her heart out. There is nothing quite like FM synth.
As an added bonus I received a complete minty Phalanx for the X68k. Thanks again, Beems! :D

Hell, guys... As far as anyone knows, that could have been just a random pic of some guy that the box designers found and thought "looked" the part. He may have no real connection with the system or NEC.

You can either attempt to rewrite the originals, or write copies from images.  I've had a few bad disks, but so far I've been lucky and have been able to repair / rewrite them.

Yeah as long as you have the capability to write images to disks then you should be fine. The packaging/instructions is mostly where it's at anyway (aside from the actual game!).

X68k Valis II has very nice graphics, smooth scrolling, and fantastic music.  However the control is beyond terrible, the worst control in the entire series, and that's saying something.  You are essentially locked to a grid (think Tomb Raider), but no "walk button" so you constantly run off platforms to your death, plus UP to jump and you need good momentum or you will not make the jumps.  The music is so good I keep playing it anyway though.

Did some serious Obeying in the last week... here's what has arrived so far

(http://i577.photobucket.com/albums/ss211/tpivette/obeystuff.png)

And to support my new purchases, I've been revamping my game room and added some new TV stands. Still gotta get another 40" LCD TV for the left one so everything will be symetrical. Thats coming this weekend, probably

(http://i577.photobucket.com/albums/ss211/tpivette/systemsinstalled.png)

On the left stand: top shelf - NES, SNES mini... middle shelf - N64, Game Cube

The right stand is all NEC: the top shelf is going to be a PC-FX (waiting for it to arrive)... middle shelf - PC Engine Duo, TG16 (CD attachment is currently getting a Chop5 gear swap)

Still working on the setups and moving everything into the room from my old location. More pictures to follow as the work progresses. Oh, and ay no attention to the PS2 on the bottom shelf of the NEC only TV stand... its only there temporarily

If he gets an old TV he will probably need a new TV stand. I know my TV stand only holds a 100 pund tv, and my tv is like 90 punds. I do have a 27 inch old tv though.

My wife bought that thing too, even though we don't even have a 3DS for her to play it on.  I think the 3DSXL comes out in August though so that'll probably be what she gets.

Yeah, the 3DS XL looks enticing, but I'm going to wait a few months. As with any new console I buy, I go on a shopping spree for games, and I can't afford that onslaught right now :P

That's why I avoided the 3DS in the first place. There were barely any decent titles at launch and even months later, and I knew they would come out with a vastly superior revision a year or so later. Nintendo is even worse than Apple in this respect. Early adopters totally get screwed.

i Def wouldnt say its vastly superior to the normal 3DS. the only major change is bigger screens. But for me the screen size is fine. plus the 3DS is smaller which i prefer

That's what was said about the dsi: xl. Bigger screens makes a huge difference in gameplay and distinguishing items in the game that you wouldn't normally see because the screen isn't as big on the regular dsi.

The 3ds xl has smaller changes, like button layout, and supposedly "less glare" on the screen. Not sure what that means (don't have a 3ds).

well, as of now, i've tested it with about a dozen chips, and there's really no comparison.
this thing is pretty sweet, i've had 0 problems.
as a point of comparison, it typically took me 6-10 minutes to program a 27c801 eprom chip with 1 Megabyte of data.
on the GQ-4X, 46.47 seconds.

additionally, the software is infinitely better and simpler.

I nabbed it from the link I posted earlier:
http://www.mcumall.com/comersus/store/comersus_viewItem.asp?idProduct=4282

including shipping, it ran me about $110, though i think you might be able to charge it via a few different currencies, so maybe if you pick one that converts poorly, you can save a few bucks.
so far, no regrets, though i'll need to figure out how to use adapters all over again, since there aren't any jumper settings.

Picked up some cool stuff for my birthday on Wednesday, first of which was a PVM-1344Q monitor to replace the PVM-1390 I had been using for a year. I'm still keeping the old one I had, but my main beef with it was that it didn't have PAL support, which I need for my Amiga. Thankfully the new one does and it looks every bit as good!

After that I went over to a local game store with my friends and managed to get a nice deal with the owner. I'll be fixing up a few NESes and a couple of SNESes for him, and in exchange I got Hermie Hopperhead and the Japanese version of Rival Schools for the PS1, all complete and in nice condition!

Thanks for the compliments on my recent PC-FX aquirement, guys!

I havent had much time to play the system yet, but when I spend a few hours with some of the games and get an idea, I'll keep you posted. First impressions is that its pretty neat. The graphics and FMV capabilities are above and beyond the PC Engine, and seeing that out of an NEC console is awesome. Too bad it didnt catch on and have a more extensive game library. Wouldve been interesting to see where the system wouldve gone with more support.

Anyway, I'm just about done with my game room. Added a 2nd 40" TV, and hooked up all the systems and tucked the wiring out of sight. It's 100% functional now. Just need some kind of comfy game seats, as right now theres only a spare twin bed that I sit on while playing.

Totally agree. I think some really cool games could have been unleashed on the PC-FX, such a shame it didn't take off. I have the same feelings re the SGX.

Hope i can get it to work. Also i will be doing a raffle soon for Bonk and Keith Courage. So keep an eye out for that.

Anyway, I'm just about done with my game room. Added a 2nd 40" TV, and hooked up all the systems and tucked the wiring out of sight.
It's 100% functional now. Just need some kind of comfy game seats, as right now theres only a spare twin bed that I sit on while playing.

Just wanted to say I really like your twin TV-setup - very stylish! How well does those Samsungs perform for retro gaming though?

Thanks for the compliments!

The samsungs do pretty good. I don't have any CRT tvs to compare them to, though. All my gaming for the last few years has been done on LCDs, so I don't remember what they looked like on the old school tvs.

Either way, they do look pretty cool though! Always gets a "wow" from people when I show them

Picked up outrun, atro warrior, and rambo for the SMS from a cd Tradepost store. I actually Keith courage and blazing laser but since I already have those so I didn't buy them. Also got Dracula x from samurai last week.

My brother sent me Super Mario RPG and Micro machines for free

Every few years I play through Super Mario RPG.  Such a great game. 

Yeah, I played through it last year and it definitely ranks up there with the other Mario RPGs. I've been on a quest to beat them all before the new Paper Mario comes out, I'm stoked!

There's a new one coming out?  Aw man....  I need to finish The Thousand Year Door! (I totally missed out on the N64 one)

Oh, wait.  I don't have a Wii.  I'll probably miss the new one as well. :( 

I've had The Thousand Year Door since it was released and STILL haven't completed it (though I dink around in it every few years and make a bit more progress).  It's good, but there's something about the SNES Mario RPG that makes it indescribably fun.

You should try to do a straight play through of thousand year, maybe it's nostalgia blocking my view but I'd call TYD my favorite RPG.

That's probably my problem.  Gaming time has been at a premium for me for the past few years (since my kid was born) so I find it very difficult to dedicate myself to just one game for very long.  As hard as I try, it's only a matter of weeks before some new (or old) game makes me go "ooh - shiny!" and all of a sudden it's been 6+ months since I last played TYD and I have to figure out where I am and where I need to go next.

So the moral of the story is "Don't have kids until you've played all the good RPGs." :D

$199 for 4gb version.  though if you are buying a new pc now, check out Microsoft stores (physical retail or their online store), and some of the models above $699 comes with free xbox360 gig!!  it's pretty sweet deal.

hahah, Ope I know.. luckily my still works  (my univ provides life-long mail forwarding.. its awesome)!!  
but I ended up buying a firesale system on Dell today instead of taking advantage of the Xbox offer (which also meant I needed to spend more though so it's kinda a wash).  
I was originally thinking about getting the Alienware X51 (Dell has it for $799 for students w/free Xbox360 4 gig).. but the specs in that one was crap and the powersupply is locked into a low powered 220 one, rendering it non-upgradable.  So I picked up a i5-2320 / 8gig ram / 1 TB / mini tower with the usual other stuff for $499 ($535 shipped)  This will replace my 5 year old Core2Duo E6300 (overclocked to 2.33 Ghz).

I got stuck at some point and never finished it. I totally enjoyed that game until I got stuck.

Tokei, it is definitely a game you want to "immerse" yourself in. Give it a chance.

Also, if you enjoyed older computer game genres (i.e. point-and-click, action puzzles, Solstice on NES, etc.) then you will totally love Göẗzëndïënër.

Picked up an N64 cleaning kit at a thrift store: $4.94, complete. In the box was also a N64 expansion pak (goes for about $20 on ebay).

At a antique store, I found a cool tin/aluminum(?) spinning top for $2.00. You pull the handle up, and then push down really fast to make it spin. Looks nice. Has little cartoon graphics on the top and bottom.

Lastly, at a record/music store, I picked up Sol Feace for the Sega CD. Looks like a schmup, but not sure--haven't tested. I think it was a pack-in game because it comes in a small cardboard sleeve as opposed to a bigger longbox case. This was a smidge under $4.00

Well I finally dug out my camera.  This is a Genesis lot that Bernie raffled off not too long ago, which I was the lucky recipient of.  I picked it up a couple of weeks ago on my RV trip up to NY/CT/RI.  Bernie also threw in a few surprise turbob goodies to boot!

Here's a closeup of mainly the Turbo/PCE stuff:

And here's a closeup of the Genny stuff.  The Genesis came with a power supply, but no AV cable.  I have one on order and it should arrive anytime now.  Thankfully I have a Model 1 Genesis, so I've been enjoying the games while I wait.  Thanks again so much, Bernie!  It was really fun to hang out with a fellow forum member.

Adds 4MB, only 3 games *requires* it: Perfect Dark, Zelda MM, and DK64

56 more games can use it (higher quality texture, etc) and will work fine without it.

It's a wrestling game.  It's the only one I've ever played so I really don't have much to compare it to.  The manual is thick!  It has all sorts of moves (of course I don't know what any of them are as it's all in Japanese). 

For an ACD game, I honestly was expecting bigger character sprites and more of a wow factor, but it seems decent enough. 

I haven't figured out how to pin people to the ground yet. :P  I can take their energy levels down to zero, and I think at one point I won because the other guy gave up, but I need to experiment with it some more. :)

I find that the game improves considerably if you change a lot of the in-game options.. sold it on ebay many moons ago


happen to remember how to change those options ?

No trip to Mitchell SD is complete without a trip to the http://www.cornpalace.org/.  :lol: Did you make it?
I went when I was a kid and used my allowance to buy an wooden pistol that shot elastic bands.
I shot my brother in the face with the first elastic and that was the end of that toy.
At least I bought Batman for Gameboy from Walgreens on that trip, it was probably a better choice.

Not bad at all!  My son and I were playing a Ms Pacman arcade unit at a local restaurant last night.  I've never played the Genesis version, but I've been tempted to pick it up a couple of times.

And Guardian Legend is the bees knees.

I don't know anything about the other games.

Have they got compact flash drive support going for X68000 now? If so then that is cool. I'd love to have a set up with a ton of the arcade and action titles on it without worrying that my collection of diskette games is rotting on my shelf and soon to be dead.

Went to Kyoto and found some nice stuff, including FM Towns Hishousame (Flying Shark) which is amazing, cause Kyoto usually has jack-shit.  The LP is "Suite Gradius Fantasia."  It's a full orchestral arrangement of music from Gradius 1, 2, and 2 MSX.  I don't really collect vinyl, but for $8 why not?  Sounds awesome by the way.

Yea, I had good times playing the Genesis Blaster Master 2.  I won't say it's amazing, but it's pretty enjoyable.  If you really dug the NES game, you should have little problem enjoying the sequel.

My 4 year old decided that he should take control of Netflix while I was took a phone call and it was Power Rangers on the screen when I got back.
I can't think of a time in the past when I wanted to laugh, cry and vomit at the same time.
We turned it off and watched Initial D series 1 instead which I got in the post last week.
I've watched a friend's copy 10 years ago so I figured I needed my own... finally.

Yeah you can never go wrong with the original Mario's and The power Rangers game is actually a beat 'em up, it's very good.


if you liked that and haven't tried it, the "Gundam Wing Endless Duel" fighter on the SNES is top notch as well. TMNT tournament fighters too.

No I don't have the mug (I don't really care for it  :P) and yes I sought a long time for Panorama Cotton.
That is a Ver. 1.0 System Card with a self made front cover, spine sticker & back sticker (based on the pictures from a boxed 2.1 version on Yahoo a few months ago). The case is of course from a cheapo double  :D.
I can upload them if anybody wants them.

TMNT Tournament Fights is a fantastic fighter and one of my favorites.  stick to the SNES version though as the Genesis version isn't as good.

@Mathius. Giga Wing is really awesome. I think im going to completely play it on my new setup soon.  @Necromancer. Its def not something i will use all the time. But when friends are over it will be fun to power it up with a fighting game and take turns. @Deletion. I bought it off a friend of my Brother's here in AZ. I got it for $80. Not bad considering it came with the model unit dreamcast the TV and some game called Super magnetic Neo. @liquitek. Don't think its the same one Liquitek. Jump on it.

In other news , heres what i got today. My cotton finally came in, and its in perfect shape minus the missing spine card. But its really minty and im happy. It also came in a lil plastic baggie with a seal. I want more of those bags. Anyone know where i can get them (ill post pics if i need to)  I also picked up The Last Story. The packaging is just awesome.

Only $80?! When you consider some sellers ask for more than that just for the console, cables, controllers and a few accessories, that score gets even better.

The coverart for Fighting Street is one of the best you'll find for TG-16 games, in my opinion. It may not be inspired (it is pretty generic), but I thougt it was executed well. (http://junk.tg-16.com/images/pcgs.png)

Got the 3DS XL today. It was the last one in stock at the Best Buy I went to... lucky me! Purchased Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance to go along with it.


Its charging right now... but in about an hour, I'll be all over this thing! Definitely an upgrade over my DS Lite

The DM/Player Guides and Monster Manual you picked up must be later editions because I don't recognize the cover art.

Been on an MVS binge lately. All authentic carts, but Wind Jammers has a cheap replacement label and suffers from a few garbled sprites. :( I knew before I bought it, but it was cheap enough that I figured it was worth taking a chance with. Tried opening the cart and cleaning it, but still suffers from the problem. Anyone have any ideas on what I might do to correct the problem if it CAN be corrected? Thanks.

Already own a copy of NAM 1975, but it came in the lot so, oh well. :)

I have a Blazing Star MVS cart that had garbled background graphics....  I ended up resoldering every solder point on both boards.  I found three or four cold/cracked solder joints on various chips.  That fixed the problem!

Thanks for the tip! I cracked it open again to give the boards a closer examination and happened to see one lone pin on the C3 chip on the CHA board that doesn't appear to have been soldered. :-s
Little late to mess with it tonight, but I'll try giving a little solder job to it (heh) tomorrow and see if that does anything.

Cold solder joints tend to be a common problem with AES/MVS carts. Out of my 40 AES carts I have owned 4 games that had that problem. My Last Blade 1, Samurai Shodown 2, Art of Fighting 3, Fatal Fury 2 and KOF 95. Last Blade 1 and FF2 were the worst with either very glitchy graphics or sound glitches. The other carts had mild graphical glitches, but are all fixed by just reheating all the solder pins.

Lookin' good, vette! My main Turbo gaming platform is a Turbo CD combo as well. If you haven't been able to snag a Super System Card 3.0 for a decent price yet keep looking. I don't know why but I really enjoy switching those System Cards in and out. :)

This arrived in the mail today.  I already have the game, but I needed the manual.  So instead of paying $20 for a manual I just bought the game again.  When it showed up I got what I consider a wonderful surprise.

I'm always worried about crap I buy online.  You never know what shape it's going to show up in.  Not only did the game work, and the manual look great, but I got a bonus case.  Now I just need a Super System 3.0 Card to fill it!  :)

I noticed this one is in French and English on the back.  Were all copies printed bilingual or is this a Canadian version?

The US SSC3 sleeve has two holes in it and that is the actual case you have there (but without the front cover).  I could never get the holes to line up with the tabs.  The way my SSC3 came from the factory is with the long end of the sleeve (with the holes) tucked underneath the crevice to the left and the tabs just holding the right side in. So that's how I store all my HuCards that come in such cases.

Weird. Doing that really bunches the sleeve up. I've only bought two white-tray hucards new (ACD Duo and SF2) and they both came with the tabs in the holes, IIRC.

The US SSC3 sleeve has two holes in it and that is the actual case you have there (but without the front cover).  I could never get the holes to line up with the tabs.  The way my SSC3 came from the factory is with the long end of the sleeve (with the holes) tucked underneath the crevice to the left and the tabs just holding the right side in. So that's how I store all my HuCards that come in such cases.

That's strange. I've never had that problem.  :-k

It actually works out pretty well, I find.  Here's some pics of how I do it:

(http://www.joeredifer.com/crap/case1.jpg)
I have the long part of the sleeve on top and to the left.  I have all my HuCard sleeves oriented this way.

(http://www.joeredifer.com/crap/case2.jpg)
The card inserted into the special case.  Long part gets tucked under in the left side.  It doesn't bunch up.  The right side goes under the tabs.

(http://www.joeredifer.com/crap/case3.jpg)
One of the reasons I like this method is that it's really easy to insert and remove the card like shown with one or two fingers (if the thumb counts as a finger).  There's nothing forced either when it goes in or comes out (this is starting to sound sexay).  There's no holes to worry about lining up.  And the card is definitely not going to fall out of the case even if you shake it while it's open.  Though I imagine if you shook it hard enough it might come out.

EDIT:  I accidentally a word.

Nice find, fifty. I'm pretty sure all NA 3.0 cards are bilingual.
It sort of found me.  I've never seen a NA 3.0 card so I wasn't sure.  What do you guys in the USA say when you see french on the back?  I'm guessing something like, "What the hell is that doing on there?"  :D

[EDIT] @ Joe Redifer - That actually looks easier.  I would definitely use this method.

Idk about everyone else here in the US, But say 10 - 15 - 20 years ago, most items like electronics, other consumer goods, My family would buy would have english/french, now-a-days it's english/spanish, so when I see the french now I say WOW, this is old or WOW, look at this it's like the way NA stuff use to be.

So what's the deal with the EU TG-16 model when it comes to use in USA/Canada?
Do you need a 60Hz converter or upscaler?  I was tempted to buy one before leaving the UK 5 years ago since there was a brand new boxed with accessory pack for 50 quid with 10 common games but moving back to Canada, I didn't think it would work so I left it.

love every part of the shuttle though.  it is the best looking one in my opinion out of all the other version of consoles.. Super CD rom attachement is next in my book as #2 coolest looking.

Wall o pics.... sorry:

Got in an Amiga from T2KFreeker.  I've honestly never had an amiga before, so this should be a fun new experience for me.  Just need to figure out a display to use with it.  Sadly, I had a commodore monitor that would have worked with it, but I let it go a while ago.

(http://i905.photobucket.com/albums/ac253/bmcdanold/Video Game Stuff/Amiga1.jpg)

And a pile o disks:

(http://i905.photobucket.com/albums/ac253/bmcdanold/Video Game Stuff/Amiga2.jpg)


Then I was browsing craigslist today and came across an ad for a guy selling a bunch of old systems and games.  He wanted $300 for the lot, I offered $250 and he took $260.  Apparently he was clearing out all the stuff he had been holding on to since childhood.  He said he bought all this stuff new.  I got it home to discover that its pretty much all minty perfect!

The N64 is the original launch model, which was exactly what I wanted!  (It only has the launch games shown on the back of the box) 

(http://i905.photobucket.com/albums/ac253/bmcdanold/Video Game Stuff/CL2.jpg)

Boxed N64 controllers (I love boxed hardware...)

HA. Which one's half great? I liked Mega Man 1 & 2, but lost interest in the series with the third game. Curious to see what they changed by number six.

First time using a dog bone - great controller, but I'll probably stick to my NES Max for most games.

Also my first time trying an Advantage in twenty years. I hated it BITD, but really like it now. My joystick skills have improved slightly by stubbornly using some of the TG16 joysticks, so that helps. I'll have to get a couple more NES shooters and run n' guns to use it with.

I LOVED my NES Max back in the day. It was the only reason why I was able to beat Contra. These days I can barely use it. What was once a great (if not slightly awkward) control pad has turned into a nightmare for me as an adult.

Megaman 6 had some neat features that werent in the other Megaman games.  Plus it had some excellent music!

Mario 2 is definitely a *full* great. :razz: I'll never forget the day I got my copy from K-Mart shortly after its release. It was so different. The cover art was different. The gameplay was different. The music was different. It was all so unique and detached from the first game (this being before I knew of its true origin). I think a lot of developers miss that nowadays. A sequel doesn't have to be an exact copy of the first game to sell.

I actually thought Megaman 3 was the best of the series!  1 and 2 were good too but 3 took it to another level.  after that it got too big/complicated imo

SUPER MARIO BROS. 2 (USA) is f*cking awesome. Always has been. Always will be.

I don't care about whether or not it is "cannon." Folks sound like pedantic professors at a community college when they discuss the nuances (I should know, I discuss the nuances of the Star Soldier series. You know what? I don't care if GunHed/Blazing Lazers isn't cannon. I don't care if COMPILE compiled it. I include GunHed in the Star Soldier series. Granted, I categorize GunHed as  "the cousin with over-active lymph nodes", BUT AT LEAST IT'S PART OF THE FAMILY. Yeah, I do the same for JJ & Jeff and Wonderboy 1/Adventure Island (NES)...) 

Super Mario Bros. 2: IT'S A FRIGGIN' SWEET ASS GAME and the sprite designs are where the "modern" Mario universe originate so IT IS CANNON YOU MOTHERF*CKERS.

Where are my pants? Why is the internet connection so slow at Panera right now?

What was I ranting about? Was my ranting even warranted? No, of course it wasn't. I just wanted to hear myself lash out for no good reason.

I feel better now.

Estaban - I agree but dont agree.  Agree on the gameplay of mario bro 2 is great.  dont agree because the JP version is better (aka Dream Factory).  the way Nintendo USA forced character changes contributed to the unnaturalness of the mario 2 as we know it today in USA.  otherwise, the game is fantastic in every way. 

In asia, mario 2 was actually never released in the states.. it had poison mushrooms and all.. forgot what it was called, but it was a lot tougher than super mario 1 and game levels wasn't as smooth/intuitive.. guess that's why Nintendo USA did what it did to skip it and repackage Dream Factory.

This sentence makes no sense.  So, in Asia, they didn't bother to release Mario 2 in the US?  But... maybe in Africa Mario 2 WAS released in the US perhaps?  I think in the UK Mario 2 was released in the US as well.  But in certain parts of Equador Mario 2 never saw release in the US.

This guy literally must have brought these things home... played them once, put them back in their boxes and carefully stored them in a closet for 15 years...  Its irritating in a way because now I feel like I need to be extra careful with them to keep them in such good shape.

PS1 Castlevania Chronicles is a port of the X68000 version, but it's not as good as it should have been.  Even the "original mode" is missing a few features and feels a bit choppy.  Playing on a real X68k is smoother and controls better.  On X68k I can beat the game fairly easily, but I've never beaten the PS1 version, something just feels off about it...

The Thing was awesome!  If you have never seen the 2011 prequel, you should rent it NOW!  Its basically everything that takes place at the Norwegian camp and leaves off right at the start of the 1982 film!

I think the commentary track with Arnold on Conan the Barbarian is the same track he recorded with the director that appeared in the standard DVD release.  Its worth a listen to.  Arnold sounds like he is high on drugs on the commentary and can barely remember making the film.  He says insightful stuff like....   "Here is where I swing the sword!"   "Oh yeah, now I swing the sword" and "Now I swing the sword"  Very insightful stuff!  They should have used it as an anti-drug message for school kids!

The Thing is indeed an awesome movie...i just wished i saw it when i was a kid in the 80's so that it would scare the living SHIT out of me!
(no rental shops in Vancouver anymore) But yes, i did see The Thing (2011) which i thought was a remake...but now that i think of it, i was wondering why the hell all the people in that camp were not speaking english! Makes sense now, and yes the dog running away leads into the 1982 film. Still not as good as the Carpenter one.

Yah, it's the same audio track from the DVD Special Edition, but hell, can't go wrong with HD...i got a feeling of what to expect from Ahnold commentary, i sat through his T3 commentary hahaha!

Yes, exactly. But it's going to get stripped down, disassembled, and repurposed to a turbo cab.  I've done some cheesy mame cabs in the past. This will be my fall project. It currently doesn't work (which is why I was the only bidder). So that's perfect for me. Everyone else saw trash, I saw exactly what I was looking for. I might put some of the parts up on eBay to recoup my massive outlay of cash.

Now that I think of it, anybody on here have ability to make a tubo marquee for it?

Been picking off SGX games of late, has been taking me a while as I'm picky with price.

Granzort and Ghouls have been very fun to play through. Battle Ace did nothing for me which is a shame, as I think with more refinement it could have been a decent enough game. Have yet to crack the seal on Aldynes.

Yeah, Battle Ace was never going to be an amazing game, but it could have been a good game. The foundations of a good game are there but it just has a very rushed and incomplete feel about it. At least it's cheap though!

I think you will enjoy Granzort, it's actually not a bad game and a little unique.

The PCE games are all pretty sweet too, been wanting to play W Ring and Son Son II for a long time!

To the Earth (NES cart only): $2.00
Duke's of Hazzard: Return of General Lee (Xbox): $3.00
Sega Master System with box, two controllers, light gun, and a few mystery games: $60 shipped

The SMS was from shopgoodwill.com so the actual price was around $46 before shipping. I never owned a SMS before and the pictures were hard to see what games there were in the box.

I've literally bought nothing since BlueBMW sold me my X68000. Which is a good thing because I spent about 4 grand on crap since MGC 2012. Yikes.

There IS a sealed James Buster Douglas Boxing for the SMS on eBay right now, which is the last game I need (minus the "US" version of sonic that I refuse to pay $1500 for) to complete the entire U.S. SMS collection. I might have to open up the checkbook on that one to complete the set.

2 ways to get RGB:
get Playchoice 10 arcade and hack some games to run on game boards.
get Playchoice 10 or VS board and pull the PPU out to install on standard NES.  Pins are the same except the arcade version of PPU has RGB support while home version of PPU is only composite.
Title: Re: teh "what did you buy today"-thread
Post by: Joe Redifer on September 07, 2012, 12:47:05 PM
They should sell those PPUs.  Just the PPU.  Could they be reliably manufactured?

Also, I received my copy of Mysterious Song yesterday.  The case was broken.  The CD and manual, etc was fine, but I imagine the case cracked during shipping.  Fortunately I have many space CD cases for such an occasion.

I have an RGB-modded NES as well, and the second level of Castlevania is one of the few serious victims of the differing color palette, as it turns the maroon backgrounds into hot pink. 

It also makes Paperboy damned near impossible to play, as you can no longer see the road (including the gutters and storm drains).

Title: Re: teh "what did you buy today"-thread
Post by: Jibbajaba on September 07, 2012, 01:01:07 PM
No, it's because of the different color palettes.  There is at least one other NES game that get affected by the dark grey/black palette problem.

I'll post a pic for you, though.

I'm not sure.  From what I've read, it even varies from RGB PPU to RGB PPU, depending on what game you get it from.  My PPU came out of a vs. Duck Hunt board.  I've read that a Mario Bros (or Super Mario Bros - don't remember) vs. board has the PPU with the most accurate palette, compared to a NES, but I don't know that for a fact.

As far as I know this guy was the originator of the RGB Mod:
http://playoffline.wordpress.com/mod/nesrgb/
Markus knows his stuff for the NES RGB Mod as it is one of the harder mods to do.

He modded my AV Famicom also. The RGB PPU I got from another guy. You can't just use any PPU - it has to be a specific one. The PPU alone cost me 80 Euro.

From the get go the Famicom Titler has no RGB out. But it has the right PPU built in to make the RGB mod. And when you have done the mod the colour palette will be the changed one.

Yeah a few games will suffer from changed colour palettes. On most games it's really slightly changed but there are some exceptions like Paperboy & Totally Rad. As far as I know The Immortal does not work at all.

By strange twist of fate, I have acquired a Car Marty.  I had to get creative with the PSU ( I modified a Gamecube power brick lol)!  and it's fully working, plays games without a hitch.  So I can finally play the 32-bit version of Shadow of the Beast (has boot issues with my FM Towns Fresh sadly).  Some people say this version is too "cartoony" because of all the pretty colors.  But I think it looks amazing personally, really smooth, and I like the extra cut-scenes.

It has a custom boot screen, and of course has anttenna connections since it's primary function is a GPS Navi device.  Other then that, it's basically a Marty with an external floppy drive.

Metroid Pinball (DS): $8.00
Quest 64 Guide (N64): $5.00
Network Adapter (PS2): $4.00

Thrift Store:

At the same store, also got both Budokai games (1 and 3 for PS2) buffed so now the discs are like brand new! ($3 a disc)

Goodwill:

Nintendo 64 bundle for $16.00
-Came with the system (and expansion pak!), atomic purple controller, gray controller, ac adapter, a rumble pak, and the crappy RF cable

Ready to Rumble Boxing (Dreamcast): $3.00
Interact Fission Fishing Controller (Dreamcast): $2.00
Playstation 2 Slim console: $10.00

Hoping the PS2 slim works. Going to sell the N64 bundle and should make a decent amount back. The PS2 network adapter's online prices have gone down A LOT since I last sold one a year or so ago. Overall, not a bad day.

Got a couple interesting items on the weekend.  Not gaming related but when I saw them I just couldn't pass them up.
The cover price on the 68-69 is 9 pence and the 79 cup final is 50p.  The guy I bought them from had quite a few from the 60s to the early 80s.

Picked these 2 lots up a couple of weeks ago. The Turbo Grafx with Booster lot was a barter trade for some junk DJ lights that werent worth shit. The guy was a crackhead and maybe wanted to throw parties?  The Sega CD with 32Xwith all games and controllers were $100 on Craigslist. Best titles, Robo Aleste, Lunar, Final Fight CD, & 2 copies of Sonic CD.

Sega Genesis for $10 with all cables and two controllers.

Paid for Pier Solar (now I just need to find a Model 1 Sega CD).

Pre-ordered a Wii-U.

Arranged a trade of a terrible old digital camera I have for an SNES2 and 13 games.

Pretty good day.

Although the model 1 sega cd looks sexier, go with the model 2. Much more reliable although ugly. I have 2 model 1's and they are very random. Both trays have issues from time to time.

Well, the cd tray can get misaligned (ie tray won't close properly) and/or the belt can get worn. I had chop repair mine, and now it's as good as new. The model one looks real nice. :)

1. That is not a repro, that is a homemade cart. somebody put together. A true repro, is a duplicate of the original.

2. I did encounter F-zero 2 on the net for the Super Famicom, It has a box and everything.

3. F-zero two just has slicker looking everything. One of the reasons why it was never released, in the west. The soundtrack is the biggest difference, and track sizes, I think.
Of course I can't think because I am Mameless. I am thinking about that, now........you know terms.

I love the N64 F-zero, it is just right, for a 3d game. The GCN got the shaft because they took out a feature, in the west version. I would play F-zero on Kal.

If I had done my research, I likely would have stayed away from a convertible. Celica 'verts are known for the rear side windows popping off the track, Found that out first hand. Doesn't appear to be the first time it has happened either as one of the guide rollers are broke. Can just imagine the cost to have that replaced. ](*,)

Well it came today and saw the above when I released it from it's shipping prison. It was wrapped in bubble wrap and inside a bubble mailer, so it must have gone through hell getting here. I was SO looking forward to actually finishing a game of futuristic ball on it too. :(

Unless he got it for a few bucks, shouldn't matter. If the seller insured it he can file a claim and get the cash including shipping amount back. Usually as long as you submit good pics showing said damage on the claim online, itll get granted without USPS needing the item turned in. Otherwise, if you paid any kind of decent amount, and seller didn't insure and wont refund outright, I'd open a ebay dispute. Don't do a paypal one. If you do it through ebay instead of paypal, they will refund you if he doesn't have the funds in his account. They will probably want you to send it back to him though. If so, just do it via first class if the weight will allow. Slap it in the same shity mailer and send it back with del confirm only and submit the tracking info on the dispute.

I haven't messed with it any more than necessary. I contacted the seller and waiting for a response. I also haven't any spare cases to drop the boards in if they do work. I'm leaving it like I found it until I get word from the seller. The label also doesn't mean diddly to me after it's in my hands. I won't buy a game with a messed up label, but if I have to replace the label while in my posession, a piece of masking tape and marker writing will suffice.

I've never met a seller that insured their shit on eBay unless it is worth real money. Now they just paste the words AS IS, NO WARRANTY, NO REFUND, and NO RETURNS on their listings. Dicks. Though, this appears to be a different situation of its own. If I don't hear back from the seller, I'll file a claim. I'm hoping this guy is willing to work something out, as it appears he packed it up to survive the trip, but the trip was more dangerous than he expected. Never had something get damaged like this in the mail before.

Found boxed bible adventures DOS for 2 monies at goodwill.   They wrapped tape around the box to keep the contents from being stolen, so the box is jacked, but hey, 2$ for Jesusjive Adventures.

I used to offer return on items i sold on ebay until a buyer basically screwed me with the return policy.  After he had said item for 12 days he asked for a refund.  When I talked to him on the phone, his reasoning was that he couldnt sell the item for more money so he wanted to return it.  I had no recourse as ebay 99.999% of the time favors the buyer.

You should have no problem winning out as the buyer.

Although most people associate the Iron cross with Germans its actually originated during 1219 and was approved by the kingdom of Jeruselam.

Possibly a bootleg.


No, it contains authentic internals. Did some research and apparently...

"the only problem with the MV1 is that some of the newer games such as Rage of the Dragons have a bug which will cause them to constantly reset on the MV1 motherboard."

Quoted from here (http://wiki.arcadeotaku.com/w/Beginners_Guide_To_SNK_Neo_Geo_MVS)...

My cab contains an MV-1F board. Who really knows for sure though. Just wish I had a multi-slot board to test it on. Guess it's time to go shopping. :P
Title: Re: teh "what did you buy today"-thread
Post by: ProfessorProfessorson on September 22, 2012, 01:51:32 AM
Yeah the first two 1-slot boards, the MV-1 and MV-1F, have issues with the later games like Rage of the Dragons. The 2 and 4 slots don't though, and the smaller newer 1-slot boards work fine. I have also come across some bootlegs that wont work on the first two 1-slots also.
Title: Re: teh "what did you buy today"-thread
Post by: SNKNostalgia on September 22, 2012, 05:02:32 AM
For one slot, MV-1A and MV-1FZ for the win!!! They have a socketed BIOS and you just need to do a simple mod for Stereo output.

If you go multi-slot. I would just go with the MV-2F. It has stereo out already and a memory card port. Tends to be stable with the 2 cart slot.

both pretty good games, though EL has some flaws, and DOA5 has some bad english voices.

other than that, i finally got the parts i needed to customize my madcatz SE fightstick, i'll be putting up some pics soon.
and then i got bomberman 64, mace - the dark age, and resident evil 3, for N64, N64, and DC, for the sake of my collecting.

I tried searching for another one online recently, but totally forgot the "Game and Watch" moniker and couldn't find it until now. Prices look shitty.

I have that DK Game and Watch and love it.  I really enjoy DK 2 as well, probably more than the original.  Are those easy to come by in Japan?  I find them RARELY in the wild.

About once a week I pull out a G&W, love those games.  I have Fire loaded up and ready to go at all times.
Title: Re: teh "what did you buy today"-thread
Post by: SuperDeadite on September 27, 2012, 01:57:41 PM
Easy to find in the big name shops, but usually not cheap.  Really depends on the game though, the "pop-up" version of Popeye for example goes for about 60,000yen boxed and cibbler these days.... be aware though that rarity varies greatly across regions.  Popeye is stupid rare in Japan, but a lot more common in the rest of the world.  And with some games it's reverse.

Donkey Kong goes for about 5,000 loose in the normal shops.  Been waiting for a cheapy for a long time.

Nice games, Galam. I've had some good times with Magmax and the 4-player cart and one can never have too many versions of Dungeon Master.

I had a lot of fun playing Eye of the Beholder on the SNES last Summer. I'd recommend trying a gnome cleric/thief if you haven't started already. Single-class thieves are virtually useless, but it's nice to have the lockpicking ability to avoid the hassle of finding absolutely every key in the dungeon. Cleric/thieves advance much faster than other multiclass characters, almost as fast as a single-class wizard, and make for an interesting mix of healer/archerer

Welcome to the SMS! There are lots of good games, but I'd recommend spending a good 2-4 weeks with just Alex Kidd to make sure you get the full experience. And be sure to get some long composite + AC cords so you can set the console under your coffee table and hit the pause button with your toe!

If you are like me (enjoy platformers), then you MUST GET Wonderboy for SMS. Still one of my faves on the system. Yes, I still play it, even though I've played related kin (on other platforms) for at least 8 million hours (Adventure Island on NES, for example).

Rastan is definitely on my list of games to get. It looks similar to Legendary Axe. I'll keep Laser Ghost in mind as I enjoy light gun games too. There are actually several UK games I have my eye on like Alien Storm and the Sonics.

Got my first taste of 8-Bit Sega goodness. Looking forward to exploring the world of the Master System. :) Any game recommendations?

If you are like me (enjoy platformers), then you MUST GET Wonderboy for SMS. Still one of my faves on the system. Yes, I still play it, even though I've played related kin (on other platforms) for at least 8 million hours (Adventure Island on NES, for example).


I love me some platforming action. Although I own their ports on the turbo and NES, I may pick some of these up just to compare.

Nice haul you got there nect. What MVS game is that?

Nam 75...got a sweet deal from Mishran (thanks again) :)


Nice! That is one of my favorite games on the Neo. It is challenging, but once you master the sommersault maneuver, the game really opens up for you. :)

One of the few complaints I have against NAM is the inability to continue during the final boss battle.

Yeah, he is a pain in the ass. This was my third game I bought for my Neo Geo CD Toploader back in '96. I never really beat it back then.

There are two methods to beating it a little easier. You can die, let the continue screen count down and save on the last level before the boss using the memory save on the AES/NGCD to come back to the last stage whenever you want. Also, you can get a Unibios and set the game to MVS mode, choose 9 lives, then lower the challenge to 1 in the soft dip. Still, you can loose with those settings if you don't figure out the pattern a little bit. Another tip, if low on lives, is to die on purpose before the boss so you get a fresh continue.

All great finds by members lately.

I hit a couple of thrift stores today.  The gba was in a baggie, and when I opened it, there was a game in it that I didn't even notice.  Namco Museum (not pictured).
Total cash outlay was under $30...

Yeah, couldn't pass them up.  there were a few more, may go back tomorrow if it keeps me up at night. :)
I didn't notice the manual until I took the pic, since it was in a bin and I just grabbed it.

Also, I don't even have an Xbox, I'm just a sucker for retro comps.
Now I think I need to cobble one together so I can try it.

It's a stack of MIDI Modules of course :)  The newest is the MU2000EX Midi Module, the big silver thing with that looks like a car stereo.  LOL  It's Yamaha's top of the line MIDI module, for XG/GM/GM2/GS it's the best there is.  Sounds fanf*ckingtastic.
Also the red thing on the top is also new and came with it, it's the UW500.  Basically it's a USB/MIDI interface/mixer all in one.  Nice little unit to have as it has a very powerful DAC inside it, and makes hooking up this mess to the X68k and windows computer very easy with zero cable swaps :)

Thor is another great one to watch, if you haven't already. I'm for sure getting Avengers on BlueRay. I have the Hulk with Norton at home but I haven't watched it yet. I recall reading that Garufallo's (sp?) Banner is way better.  The "Puny God" part was my favorite.

Here's what I've picked up in the last month or so.

(http://www.jibbajaba.com/images/misc/turbobs_1012.JPG)

Cosmic Fantasy 2 and Power League 5 I bought from a fellow PCEFXer.  

Gate of Thunder and LoH: Dragon Slayer came in a trade with a fellow PCEFXer, along with a white TurboTap (not pictured)

Everything else was bought in a lot from someone on another forum.  I paid what I felt was fair market value (not eBay value, mind you) for all of the games.  He threw in those little plastic cards for free (anyone know anything about them?  I can take closer pics...) along with the brochure, and a TG16 controller & a pen from some local TG16 seller (both not pictured).  The copy of Ys I & II is a spare, although it's a TG16-CD copy, whereas I already had a TurboDuo copy.  So they're a little bit different packaging-wise.  I'll probably end up trading one away at some point, though.  I also already have KC, so I'll probably harvest the case and get rid of the Hu and manual.

This is everything I got while in Portland at the retro gaming expo.  Two of the books came from Powell's Bookstore, and the rest came from the expo.

(http://www.jibbajaba.com/images/misc/prge2012.JPG)

GEN - Thunder Force 2
GEN - Comix Zone
PC - D&D Eye of the Beholder
PC - Wolfenstein 3D shareware disk
PC - Blake Stone: Aliens of Gold shareware disk
Activision Megamania high score patch
Book "Game Calculators Play"
Book "Masters of Doom"
Book "Secrets of the Games: Sega CD"
Book "Castlevania: The official Hint Guide"  Includes Super Castlevania but not Drac X for SNES or Rondo for PCE.
VCS - Road Warriors limited edition homebrew game
TG16 - Super Volleyball
TG16 - Motoroader
TGCD - Lords of Thunder
TGCD - The Adams Family
TGCD - Dungeon Master: Theron's Quest
TGCD - Sherlock Holmes: Consulting Detective

The most expensive Turbob was Lords.  Priced at $40, but I bought it together with Adam's Family, so I got it for $30 and Adam's for $10.  Motoroader was $10, Sherlock was $10, Volleyball was $10, and Dungeon Master was $15.  I overpaid for Volleyball and Sherlock Holmes (in my opinion) but I think that everything else was priced fairly.

Sure, I'll take some close-ups when I get home.  I was hoping that someone could give me some info about them.  The larger card is just a list of TG16 specs and whatnot, and has stuff on both sides.  It's plastic, not paper.  Not sure where it would have been used.  The other card has the Ys box art on one side, and I think Bloody Wolf on the other.  It's also plastic.

Nice games and all, but isn't a grown man liking My Little Pony about as weak as you can get? From a fathers POV, I'd even be suspect of any grown man who is addicted to a little girls cartoon and toy line. Seems like I have been hearing about this going on a lot as of late, similar to the furry mess. What do they call them, bronies? Even my daughter thinks My Little Pony is weak, since she was like 8 or 9 or sumthin. Oh well, to each their own I guess....

Perhaps the pony was a gag gift. Can't knock the guy before knowing the full story about the gift beforehand. If he is a pony fan, then so be it. As you said, to each his own.

Japanese Hagane is worth about $2 over here.  No story at all, just pure action.  One of the few SFC games that I actually find worth keeping.  Though it's a bit over complicated in some ways, all 11 buttons do something different, once you get used to this, the game is a lot easier then most people claim.

look at clay fighter sculptors cut, got my cart for $30 about 2 years ago, now i'm seeing asking prices on forums of ~$100, and forget ebay.
same kind of thing with all of those, even final fight guy, which is still not as good as the sega cd version.

and mati, no, no language barrier in hagane, if you don't have it, pick it up, it's cheap and fun.

EDIT:
I just looked at completed ebay listings for several nintendo games, ranging from nes to n64.
what the hell?
when did conker's bad fur day become a $70 loose cart?
I paid $30 for my complete copy, and i thought i was getting ripped off.

I picked up a few packs of these, http://www.ebay.com/itm/130487318755?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 and they are sooo nice.  I have to buy more, cause I only picked up 200 of the single CD wraps, but the double CD ones look great as well.

It really sets off the way your games look on display.  These things are well worth it!

I totally agree about games looking awesome once they're bagged. 

I have a group of about 500 singles I bought from a Japanese seller, but I get my double-CD ones from the same person you're linking.  Do those single ones you bought close over the top of a CD case or over the side?

W00t! Vacations rule.


I bought NiGHTS for PS3 today... excellent HD remake.  I'd recommend it to anyone who loved NiGHTS on saturn and has a PS3/360.  Well worth the $10!

I looked at the picture before I read the post...  I was so confused that you had nights playing on your N64.

Sega always puts its stuff on sale down the road, I will be picking up Nights for $5!  I already paid cash for the Saturn, Saturn again w/ analog, and the Wii version, so I think I need a discount!

Tpivette - the TurboBooster Plus may be my favorite Turbo accessory. I keep a TurboGrafx with one hooked up next to my Duo just so I can have all of my Turbochip save files in one place. It can hold most of the U.S. library minus OotG.

Found some decent stuff today:

Goodwill:

Doom II (PC) Big Box, 3.5" Floppy Disc version: 75 cents
Playstation Mouse with mousepad: $2.50
Xbox RF Adapter NIB: $3.00

Thrift Store:

System Shock 2 (Jewel Case/CD) PC: $1.49
PS2 Slim (with spongebob game inside) AS-IS: $5.99
GBA system: $7.99
Halo 2 (Xbox): $5.00

In the mail today:

Code of Princess from Amazon: $0.00
Tales of Graces F Special Edition (PAL): $40.00 shipped


--So the PS2 slim I got from a Goodwill about a month ago, ended up not powering on so I sold it on Ebay for $50 shipped (paid $10 for it), and hopefully this PS2 slim has the same result online). System Shock 2 surprisingly goes for quite a bit disc only. About $30+. Playstation mouse (complete in box) goes for $25+, and Doom II maybe $30 and up. I think I did pretty well considering.

nothing to do with gaming... although playing while in a warm environment helps :P

Just received my kerosene/paraffin heater.   Used to have one of these back in the 70's although not like this one. 

Hopefully it will keep the room warm this winter and not worry about the increase in energy bills this year.

Airforce Delta (Complete): $3.00
Prince of Persia: Arabian Nights (Complete): $3.00
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater (Complete): $3.00

Always wanted Virtual-On back in the day. I believe it's some 2D/3D robot fighting game. All were $3.00/ea no tax, but the last time I was there, I got two Dreamcast games and they were $2.00/ea--different worker, I suppose.

Went to the thrift store yesterday. It was packed out the door and I had no idea why. I found a 3rd-party, 6-button Genesis pad with turbos for $4. I took it to the counter and realized they were having a 50% off sale. Could have bought a Gamecube for $10, but that would have broken my rule about nothing post-N64.

Then just buy the GameCube for the GameBoy Player. Play all your GB, Game Boy Color, and Game Boy Advance (post-N64, I know, but has much in common with the SNES) games in component. That is if you are lucky enough to find a component cable for the GC.

Not a bad price.  TE's seem to be hovering around $100 w/o the tuner.  The TG-16 seems to hover in the $40-$50 range.  So you got everything at a decent price considering the couple hu cards, and tuner that are shown.  Nice pick-up.  I would've bought it.

I can let you know once I've tried it, if you'd like :) First game feels solid, but has a quite steep difficulty curve (there's a mission I can't complete, because my forces gets annihilated and some scary mechs totally punishes me for not having a good enough grip on the controls).

Bought this the other day and it finally arrived.  Here's the thing, I didn't know it was sealed.  I just thought it was CIB.  So now I have a sealed copy of Neutopia II.  My choices are trade it, or bust the cherry on this thing.  If I bust the cherry I still don't need the box (so check my trading post thread).  I think it might be best to try and do a trade for something I need though.

Decisions, decisions...  :-k

It's hard to tell if the white on the edges is a reflection or box wear, but it's definitely a reseal if it's damage to the box.

PCE version of Popful Mail is more like the PC-88 version. The game is a bit different from the sega cd version. The game is supposed to benefit from running off the Arcade card but I cant tell if the game loads any faster or not

I think it just loads less often, using the AC to load the cinemas in one chunk instead of reloading part way through, buffer towns, etc.

Tore it open.  The virgin is no more!  Definitely a reseal... so I guess I took it's second virginity?  hu card is in excellent shape, manual is good.  The plastic tray inside the box is fantastic.  I've never seen one so perfect before.  Box is pretty good too.  The box will be going up in my trading post thread.

Been picking up some PSP stuff an a Pawn America for cheap.  Got the Gods of War edition PSP off a guy on craigslist.  System was hardly played.  The wife's cat seems to like the Ridge Racer game! lol

Never thought I would own one of these, but now I do.  Box is in OK shape.  Definitely signs of shelf wear, but the system is immaculate.  Even the serial number on the instruction manual matches the serial number on the bottom of the unit.  I think I got a deal on the system, but it was more that I really wanted to spend.  The wife would kill me if she knew what I spend on it.

Three figures.  The guy I bought it off of even has an extra original LT AC adapter laying around that I'm probably going to purchase just to have as a back up.  I didn't know Chop re caps these as well.  Is yours recapped?

After dicking around trying to get a working XRGB for a sane price and failing. After mailing miserably trying to get anything but JAMMA boards and the Saturn to sync with the GBS8118...I leapt at the chance to get this:

(http://grab.by/gOFg)

Its a pro video monitor made by JVC. In that pic its hooked up to a PCE via composite, and even that looks good, but the real draw is:

(http://grab.by/gOFq)

RGB. Real RGB. Fully analog, RGB/RGBS, 15khz. No bullshit. No dot crawl. No nasty upscaling artifacts. No delay. No blur. No broken shadows. Nothing like that. Perfect. Flawless. FLAWLESS. When it comes to video quality I can bitch about anything. This though...zero flaws. Flaw. Less.

This monitor has amazingly few hours on it. Zero bloom or burn in and the focus is very very tight. I literally have every knob in its default position and the image is perfect.

I love the input controls too. It has mechanically self canceling buttons so instead of cycling through a huge list of inputs you just push the one you want and the input you were previously on pops out.

It has composite (BNC), Y/C (mini DIN), component RGB (BNC) and component YPbPr (BNC). It has a built in blue mode and color drop out for calibration. It even has a tiny little speaker!

The board there is the "Hispanic" (their term, not mine) version of Street Fighter Zero 2 Alpha. I was surprised to learn there even was a "western hemisphere excluding the United States" version of this game since there is no blue board, at least not that I know of. I've wanted this ever since I learned it existed. I have the Saturn version of Street Fighter Zero 2' (Street Fighter alpha 2 Gold) which is pretty close, but not quite. Dramatic Battle, here I come!

The monitor I got on a trade. The thing I traded it for cost me $20. The board was $65.

Nice Zeta! Yeah once you start using those monitors you cant go back to a regular TV. I had a little 13"er pvm and I recently upgraded to a 20" sony pvm which is also lovely. I think every "retro" gamer needs one of these. You don't realize how bad composite is until you see raw RGB.

Beemer, I am curious. How's the rest of the packaging on the games? Meaning the inserts, instruction booklets, etc. Rob had shown me Gradius and Castlevania's boxes and I was blown away by all the cool collateral that was included.

after all these years, do those floppy discs still work fine?

Surprisingly, Ive run into very few bad floppy disks.  I guess when stored properly they last pretty good.

Woah - how are those Neo ports? didn't know they did Garou Densetsu for the x68k.

And since you sent me that 2MB expansion (for 4MB total RAM) I can run Street Fighter, right? :D

Depends on the game.  Being computer games, there were no rules really.  Some games even came with special controllers and adapters needed to play them in the box.  Konami's giant plastic bricks were from '93 which is quite late in the systems life.  YsIII came with a ton of shit like a mousepad.  Marble Madness came with an actual marble, etc.

The most insane one imo is Midgarts, which includes a 200 page manual setup like a DnD book with stats like STR/INT, etc for all the characters, plus pages and pages of history.  But the game itself is a straight-forward horizontal shooter. None of that stuff affects the game.  In fact the actual instructions is a tiny half page leaflet just thrown in the box lol.

SFII' (Champion Edition) requires only 2mb of RAM.
Super SFII requires 4mbs (and 16mhz CPU).
Both games can use use additional RAM to load into though.  SFII' can fully load into RAM if you have 6mbs, then you never have to swap after boot up.  Both games also support HDD install, which is the way to go really.

Damn, that's impressive. Long gone are those days that's for sure. Thanks SuperD!  I'll have to search teh webs for Midgarts. I am a sucker for awesome packaging and the Japanese still do it best, IMO.

Title: Re: teh "what did you buy today"-thread
Post by: roflmao on October 18, 2012, 06:37:00 AM
I think it's a pretty good fighter.  I'm not much into fighting games, but Street Fighter II was feeling lonely.  Great animations and soundtrack.  I don't know too may of the special moves, but the ones I've figured out all feel very street fighter-y. :)

I used to own Flash Hiders back in the late 90's and sold it off and have always wanted it back.  So now it is. :)

I have this game but realized I'd never played it until I read this post.  Popped it in last night and it was fun, the cutscenes are amazingly well done, and I was confused at first because on scenario mode the game will actually play itself.  A 6 button pad is really needed though.  I can't wait until that Ave6 that I won in T2K's raffle to show up so I can give it a solid try.

Land of Illusion got a SMS release in Europe. Flippin' awesome and not too pricey. There was also a rare third game, Legend of illusion, by Tec Toy in Brazil, but it sucks. And then they also made the last SMS game ever - Mickey's Ultimate Challenge - but that's a completely different kind of game.

Now's it's not a question of how good the game is, but whether I want to make you happy or sad!

Honestly, I haven't played I&B yet. I bought it because it was $3/shipped, I read a decent review, and I'm something of a D&D/SSI collector. My freely-acquired PS remains boxed up in the closet since I burned all of its games and sold them a few years ago. Now that I have Ultima Underworld, DW VII, and Iron and Blood, I'll have to take it out again and see if it wants to cooperate and show me a good time.

Haha, my fate is in your hands.

DW VII is one of the last RPGs I really enjoyed.  It was shortly after that game I decided that the RPG genre was regressing, rather than progressing, and I didn't have time for all of that shit.

Blue Blink is the only game I have tried so far. It's a pretty neat platforming game. :) You control a character while the other two tag along and mimic your movements, which reminds me a bit of Ninja Spirit in this aspect. Each guy has their own advantages, ie jumping ability, different projectiles. You can switch between characters whenever you want.

I tried to find my Daisenpu Custom CD but it must be packed up somewhere. I NEED YOUR HELP...I have this persistent memory that nearly all of the Red Book tracks on Daisenpu Custom are the same. WHY WOULD THEY DO THIS? It's been bugging me for years. SURELY I MUST BE WRONG. Can someone listen to the the audio tracks and confirm that they are the same/different songs.

THANKS IN ADVANCE (http://junk.tg-16.com/images/pcgs.png)

Toopy & Binoo plush toys.  You can get them through Amazon.  Toopy (mouse) is about 12" tall.  Binoo (sock cat) is only 5" tall.  Binoo comes attached to Toopy, but he can be easily removed.  I paid $30 off a local eBay guy.  $40 is the going rate.  $50 and you're paying too much.

Wow. Where do you put this stuff? I don't know about you guys, but I'm starting to drown. My SMS games just surpassed their designated shelf space and new NES purchases are filling in the shelf behind the visible first row. I have a box of extra systems in the closet in case something breaks, two boxes of extra controllers (you know, because I host so many five-player-game nights! :^o), and I need to find a new place for my joysticks. Life sucks.

First world problems, I know.

YES!  Dig up a GunCon if you can find one for a reasonable price.  A lot of the Namco GunCon games were pretty awesome, Point Blank being one of my favs. 

Since this is a finds thread I'll put what I got last week:

The games were all a total of $15 and the Light Phaser was another $15.  The guy at the local shop threw in the loose manuals for free.

I picked up a 161 in 1 MVS Cart.  Bought it from Holland Computers.  That place is amazing.  They are in Ohio not that far from Arkhan land.  Was $95 with free shipping.  Cheaper than anywhere else I could find with combined shipping.  Ordered it Monday and got it on Wednessday.  Yeah it's not a legit cart, but it's crazy awesome!  There are a lot of hacks, but I actually like the SNK VS Capcom Plus.  It's nice being able to use the bosses from the get go.  Only non-working game is Aero Fighters 3, but I knew that before I bought it.  There's still some games I need to buy though since some good ones are still missing.

Sim Earth is great. It's underrated because: 1) for a SCD, it's not visually impressive, 2) the computer interface doesn't translate well to a control pad, 3) it came out kind of a late (SNES already had Sim Earth and Sim City), 4) it hasn't aged as well as Sim City, 5) the save file eats a whole memory bank.

I still love it.

Basically means Working Designs was known to print different disc art for various games with some being more "rare" (not necessarily more expensive---probably just to those fanatics), than other disc art variants.

Nice, I'm a big Working Design nut myself.   Which variants did you get?

I still have a lot to learn about collecting WD.  What do you mean by "variants"?  Are there different one?

I finally got around to trolling through the CD-XChange by my apartment in downtown Milwaukee - they had a wide range of stuff (NES, Genesis, Saturn, all the way through PS3), though most of it was garbage and massively overpriced. Anything of value was well over $60 (they wanted $29.99 for a loose Zelda 1 cartridge!). Typical of most second hand places these days unfortunately.

Ah, i see you picked up a copy, Fifty. Played it yet? Let me know how it is, as I have been having too much fun with Ys 4 to try that one yet
I tossed it in and watched the intro.  Strange intro.  I haven't played it.  Still playing Bonk III.   :dance:

This came in the mail today.  I actually started talking to the eBay seller that sold a TG mug about a month ago.  Turns out he had worked in the TG field and had a few things lying around.  I told him I was interested in the mug but that I had to back out when the TG coffee mug got to over $35, then $40.  :shock:  Turns out he had another one, that he was using as his daily mug and told me I could have it.  So he ended up shipping it to me!  The mug is an old Devil's Crush mug (paint has worn off the back), but it's still awesome!  The Turbo Duo brochure I had seen before, but never held one.  It's in very good condition.  The Club Turbo I had not seen one before.  It's awesome!  I haven't stopped flipping through it!  It's in great condition.

In the bottom of a box of old game mags I scored at a local garage sale was probably the worst condition EarthBound strategy guide of all time.  It's so awesome, I can barely read anything and it reeks of sewer water and cheeseburgers!!  I can't tell if that's actually because it was lost in the sewers or if the smells from the 'scratch and sniff' section is still smellable!!

Also, I bet that Earthbound guide would still sell for eleventy bajillion dollars on Nintendo Age if you gave them a cool story like it was VGA Certified NINTENDO sewage and cheeseburger smells.

On Tuesday I found a grey PSX with all hookups for $5.50 and a couple random PSX games.

Agreed, personally I was also highly annoyed at the last video of that guy who got DE II for a dollar.  NOT because he scored (GREAT for him) but because of the way he kept smacking and shuffling the game cases together like if it was a deck of cards.

Hello all!

I've been pretty inactive since September, but I got some new games.

Borderlands 2- Pretty much borderlands 1 with some tweaks, but the first was awesome so I don't really mind.
Katamari Forever-Roll stuff up! Who doesn't love that.
Assasin's Creed III- Only a couple hours in but seems good.

and I'm hoping to pick up the new Paper Mario this week

Went to the Vancouver Gaming Expo on the weekend.

TG-16:   Ninja Spirit, Bravoman & Dragon's Curse for $50
PSP:      EA Collection, Burnout Legends & Ridge Racer for $20

All 6 are in fantastic shape and include case, sleeve (TG), manual and game.

Was a good show from what I saw but not as busy as the Retro Expo in March.
There were some deluded vendors selling over priced shite of course, some of which I recognized from March.

Just a block down the street I grabbed 2 lbs of Black pudding from Sherlock's.
I've eaten a quarter of it already.  Bloody amazing.  Cost as much as the PSP games and not sure which I'll enjoy more  :lol:

Cool, those are the more common variants found from my experience.  The Arc the Lad has a set where the artwork is all in black/red instead counter to the colored discs you have.  And the other set for Lunar 2 has the secondary cast on the discs (Ronfar/Lemina/Mystere).

If you really get into it, the WD stuff for PSX is outlined very well here:
http://game-rave.com/psx_galleries/gal_workingdesigns/index.htm

Variants for most of the other systems they made games for are well pretty well known too I think, I've got a big spreadsheet put together for my own personal use concerning them though.

Post by: BlueBMW on November 15, 2012, 05:57:01 PM
They output 15k, 24k and 31k depending on the software.  Generally speaking most stuff runs at 31k, but quite a few use 15k.  Very few games use 24k.

Where does everyone find all these shells? I have two sets of arcade sticks and buttons to build custom joysticks for a supergun I'm building, but can't find any usable housing for them. I'm ready to just go the homemade wooden box approach.  ](*,)

Oh, and had a Neo CD front loader with two pads and 11 games come in the mail. A JAMMA harness was also waiting for me in the mailbox today.

DH only had one release in Japan. I'm guessing he either put a Sparky insert in there, or he printed his own US copy of the manual.

Id say its decent if you can get it for cheap, but it feels more like a downloadable game that should been sold for around 10$. The graphic are bland, gameplay is ok but the car physics are total crap. I got it used for 20$ but to be honest this was not worth it... maybe for 10$... definitely not worth the retail price its asking...

Yeah, same here. I'm kinda having fun with it tho... but damn, this game screams "where the hell is my 2players mode!" Would be much better if the 2nd players could play as Ernest Evan, having them finally fight side by side would be awesome.

Bought a "door buster" Westinghouse 50" 1080p 60mhz tv for $350 today.  I am sure it will be junky, but it will be a decent step up from the 36" CRT Sanyo currently in my living room.

It was odd, I showed up at Target at 9:00, there was a huge line, but they had them hidden in the back.  I nabbed one of the last 3, so I think I lucked out considering I didn't have to wait.

I know you can use PS Move for Time Crisis, but how does the Guncon 3 work with the game? Does the Guncon 3 come with sensor bars or does it just use the Move camera? Also, how accurate is the gun compared to the move?

Anybody know about this?

My buddy and I just played through Razing Storm tonight using Playstation Move - frankly it works about as well as the Wiimote as far as tracking goes (when compared to say, Wii House of the Dead Collection). Slight delay when aiming the cursor but not too bad frankly.

I haven't tried it with the GunCon3 but plan to pick one up at some point.

  I'm pretty giddy about this purchase yesterday.  A local game shop was having a half-off sale for The-Friday-That-Shall-Not-Be-Named, and I had to jump on this cart.  I've been looking for this 5200 cart for oh, 12+ years now.  Amazingly they recently got a copy but it was too expensive for me.  I've been daydreaming about it and buying it at half-off, it was affordable.. expensive but still a good deal.  In the last 10 years or so, I've only seen about 2 come up on eBay ever.  Last one sold for I think $350.  It just is not out there, at all.  Finally my Atari 5200 collection (one of my favorite consoles) is complete!

Just watched a video of the game on Youtube and Bounty Bob Strikes Back actually looks to be a good deal of fun.  Congrats on the purchase, I have been on multi-year game hunts myself and it is always a great feeling to find the item.

...though now you may wonder if your life still has purpose.

  Clash, I just happened to see an auction for this 5200 Atarimax 128-in-1 multi-cart.  I have the same one and it's f'ing great.  The seller wants $165 which is very good deal imo.  It's got everything.

Thanks for the heads up.  I am too tapped from Black Friday to buy this thing now, but I added it to my Watch List so I have a reminder to look in the future.

You can always use google to get a quick conversion:
Just write "**gbp in usd" in the search field. For example typing
5gbp in usd will give you this message "5 British pounds sterling = 8.0105 US dollars"

Very handy to have, converting between feet and cm/meters and so on also work.

I found a TI-85 at a goodwill for $5 one time. Took it home and put batteries in it, but it wouldn't power up. Opened it up to see if I could figure out what was wrong with it. The internals turned to sticky green goo for some reason. Worst 5 bucks ever spent. Well second worse after Energy for PCE of course. :-"

I agree, Nier is one of my favorite current gen games and while it's got some weak spots I really really enjoy it.  Plus the soundtrack for the game is just amazingly haunting sometimes.

Stick with Fiend Hunter, it's a bit slow at first, but I think you'll like it!
Now is that the same Slime World that was on the Lynx????

For Cross Wiber, take it slow and think China Warrior. It's a REALLY pretty game, but the game mechanics are of the REALLy retro-variety. You'll love the graphics.

About those Mega Drives, one seems to have problem outputting a stable image (picture rolls when connected to TV, sellers mentioned possible sound issues) and the other one...must be an Asian PAL unit or something, because I could play my PAL copies of Sonic 2 & OutRun with it... :s
Neither the SFC or the MDs will give a proper image with my scaler, so perhaps I need to shop for a syncstrike unit.

Also picked up an PCFX game because...well...I was hoping that would make me get one faster :p Perhaps?

Oh and a free, small sofa from work. Now I can have friends over properly! :D

Have fun with Dark Castle, probably the worst game I've ever played. If you think the genesis version is bad try the CDi one after that..... It IS good for a laugh though. The Apple version is supposed to be the definitive version and has a cult following of sorts.

yeah, a good chunk of genny games are that way.
it was a cost cutting thing, iirc, they'd produce a whole bunch of carts at once, and then just slap different stickers on it.
I've seen copies of strider returns on genny with a genesis sticker over another one (that presumably says mega drive.)

Have fun with Dark Castle, probably the worst game I've ever played. If you think the genesis version is bad try the CDi one after that..... It IS good for a laugh though. The Apple version is supposed to be the definitive version and has a cult following of sorts.


Haha. Yeah i figured, The box makes it look like a poor mans Castlevania. I looked it up on gamefaqs, and it has a 1.2 rating. I think that's the lowest I've seen.

Let me know how far you get.  Also, check out Angry Video Game Nerd's review of it.  Lol.  Dark Castle is one of those games I bought as  a kid, by judging the cover.....man was I pissed.

Not video game related, but at least its from the right time period...

Finally got rid of the old boat BMW that was falling apart...

Not my first choice being a 'vert, but it was in good shape and is a whole lot easier to work on!

Here is most of my stuff over the last few months minus some Intellivsion stuff and GOG stuff.  Most of this has come in the last week and a half so I haven't really sampled it all.

Most of this was black friday besides XCOM and Halo.

(http://i1177.photobucket.com/albums/x345/hizaygizirlz/BlackFridayOther.jpg)

This is from Ope, vestcoat, ebay, and some homebrews.  The remote I already own not sure how it snuck in there.

(http://i1177.photobucket.com/albums/x345/hizaygizirlz/ForumEbay.jpg)

I am staying out of for sale threads and off ebay until late January.  There is only one game I want in Jan for PS3 (Ni No Kuni: Wraith of the White Witch) so hopefully I will be OK.  I will post the Inty stuff when I gather it up.

Got a JVC Xeye in today, along with a few games.  The thing looks brand new and plays perfectly.  The JVC controller that came with it has issues tho.  Couple of the buttons don't respond right away, unless you really press on em hard.  I would thing this would be a simple fix though.

Clean the contacts on the PCB with a white eraser (or a swab moistened with rubbing alcohol.) wipe the conductive rubber pads with a cotton swab moistened with rubbing alcohol.  Controller should work like new.

OK here's what I have acquired in the last 2 weeks:

(http://www.joeredifer.com/crap/haul3.jpg)

-Wii U (not pictured) but it came with that Nintendo Land game. - $349.95 (screw you suckers who paid $349.99!)

-Need for Speed Most Wanted: A Criterion Game (yes that's the actual title). - PS3 - $59.95. Great game. Not as cool as Burnout Paradise but still really, really good. Some things have improved upon Burnout Paradise's foundation, though.

-Little Big Planet Karting. -  PS3 - $19.95 at Best Buy (after $5 off coupon).  Worth it?  Yeah I dunno. Not horrible by any means but not amazing in any way. Haven't tried and user-created tracks or online yet.

-Sonic Generations - Xbox360 - $18.95 at Target. I waited for the price to drop on this and I'm glad I did. The main stages are really fun, but there's quite a delay between pressing the jump button and actually jumping. I don't like that I have to earn the boss fights by going back to each stage a few times and doing stupid shit like having Knuckles dig for treasure. Sonic still hasn't returned to his former glory. They just can't get a Sonic game right and keep trying to include all of this other extra shit that just gets in the way instead of adding to the fun. What's wrong with you, Sega?

-New Super Mario Bros U - Wii U - $59.95 - Target. It's weird paying $60 for the same exact game that's on the Wii. Is there any difference? I haven't noticed any yet. This is about as different as Madden 94 is from Madden 93.

- Sonic & All Stars Racing Transformed (yes, that's the actual title) - Wii U - $20 - Target. I originally bought the Wii U with 3 games, This, Mario U, and Batman Arkham City U. They were having a "buy two, get the 3rd for half price" thing, so this was $20.  Before I even got out of the store, I decided I didn't want Batman, so I returned it at Guest Services. They refunded the full $59.95 and I still kept this game for $20. It's about what it's worth. Sonic is featured more prominently and they dropped Sega from the title which was dumb as now the title doesn't make any sense. The game is nowhere near as good as the first one. The flying and boating are cool, but overall the game just isn't as fun and the tracks are not as well designed. It's hard to drift long enough to get a boost now and the difficulty is really ramped up as well. The selection of characters is also pretty lame. I have no idea how to unlock more despite me playing this far more than any other Wii U game. A serious downgrade from the first game. Despite being fun, it's still rather disappointing. This is the BONUS EDITION as you can tell by looking at the box. This means there are extra bugs and glitches that aren't in the 360 or PS3 versions.

-Wii U Xbox 360 controller - Wii U - Forgot the price, but fiance bought it for me. This works for only one game that I have. Why did I get this? It will never be supported in the majority of good games. I am an idiot. What's weird is that when I'm pressing the buttons with my right thumb, I instinctively want to movie it DOWN to touch the right analog stick, not up where it actually needs to go.

-The Dark Knight Rises - Blu-ray - Batman makes a couple of cameos in this movie.

-SD2SNES - SNES - $180 - This allows me to do suspicious, questionable and highly illegal things on my Super Nintendo. This can ONLY be used for illegal things. I made my own cart shell and label.

Hey Joe, you should give the Challenge Mode a shot on Mario U.  I am having a lot of fun (AND FRUSTRATION!) going for the gold medals.

I have played some multiplayer NBA 2k13 and the Wii U Pro Controller is required.  Also it is needed to do multiplayer COD, where one player looks at the screen and the other gets the TV.  I think you will end up happy you have one.  I am actually hoping that Toys R Us gets 2 in before their buy one get one 50% off sale on accessories is over.  Once I have 3, I will be all set for video game nights.

Seems like you are really down on the Wii U.

Any faults with Mario U and Sonic All Stars isn't the fault of the console. But I'm not interested in games like NBA 2K or Call of Duty.

System is complete in box with manual and antistatic bag. Also came with a bonus unused, good quality JAMMA harness.

Bukiri One looks like it was rode hard and laid out wet, but the other three appear to be full kits and look to be either new or VERY lightly used.

Speaking of other three, they are:
Fatal Fury: Wild Ambition
Samurai Spirits 64
Samurai Spirits 64: Warrior's Rage

Not sure why I'm in such a Neo craze lately, but this thing is fun as hell! Especially Warrior's Rage.

Lucky. I think I want one as it might possibly rekindle my gaming interest for that system (that's why I'm getting a Turbo Everdrive), but that's why it'd be hard to justify a $190 price tag. If I loved playing videogames like every weekend as I used to when I was young, then yeah, it's worth it. These days, if I beat 2 or 3 games a year, it's a miracle. SNES had a great, solid library, but do I still love it enough to spend that kind of dough is the thing and then I'll have to track down worthwhile ROM images to use it with.

Anyhow, there's still something different about using a real console and just settling for the emulator, I dunno why. 'Bout the only game I beat with the ZSNES emulator was Terranigma after learning it was a Quintet game that had been released in the UK in English, but not in the US. It was a pleasure to get to play that I recall, interesting story and good action RPG in the mold of the prior stuff Quintet did. The other game that I can think of was this Japanese Wild West shooting one that was kind of fun... I tried to play Secret of Mana 3 with the fan translation patch, but I quit, I dunno, I wasn't feeling it plus those days I was more interested in spending all my time mastering the creating of fan translation patches myself for Ys games, oddly enough.

Recently, I was having fun doing the YPbPr mod for my SNES and I wound up playing some Super Punchout with it the other week (Wish the game was longer, takes 2-3 days really to learn enough to beat it, but it was good fun). So yeah, modding work has sparked some interest in a system that was collecting dust for like 12 years... but then I think about all the PS1 and PS2 games (http://www.ysutopia.net/uploads/room/IMG_1021.JPG) I bought that are still sitting unplayed/untouched (http://www.ysutopia.net/uploads/room/IMG_1019.JPG) (a game stack that I put next to my workstation, in my face, to get me to eventually play them, though it didn't work)... Meh. I haven't really recovered from when I was working on my Bachelor's to my first jobs upon graduation where I transitioned from rabid game player to moderate/occasional game collector who might play a game or two per year (some exceptions were made for FF games). This is also why I have that stupid backloggery thingy in my signature, to help me try to *finally* knock off some PS2 games I've had for years and years... A constant reminder that I've got a good gaming collection that I need to finish.

Yeah emulation isn't all ways a 100% so flash cartridges,such as the everdrive it gives me a reason to own the console again.Another thing being i don't have to worry about having a big collection either.I wasn't sure if i wanted a snes again since it's prices started to spike.When i heard about the super everdrive and seen what it can do i thought why not.Still "i will buy some for the sfc" but not to much for it.The super everdrive works great so far,now it can't run super fx games or even megaman x.Still that's no lost to me i can all ways buy those.Also ive tried sfc games that have the fan translation and they work great through it.

$190? I don't think the regular Super Everdrive cost that much.  Its more like $80 for the loose pcb.  You might be thinking of the newer snes flash cart, SD2SNES which is the one that cost $200 since it supports more enhanced chips and has other features. 

Title: Re: teh "what did you buy today"-thread
Post by: Joe Redifer on December 08, 2012, 09:33:55 AM
Yeah Super Everdrives are cheap (and quite slow loading, from what I hear). SD2SNES is like a Mega Everdrive compared to the original Everdrive. RAM-based, loads pretty much instantly and can do lots more nonsense.

It did not cost $190.00 me it was less plus it has the dsp-1 chip in it,it is not the regular version.

As csgx1 stated nightwolve only the SD2SNES cost $200.00.

Just got back from a trip to NYC - while I was there I got a chance to hit up VideoGamesNewYork in the East Village which I'd always wanted to check out. I will say the selection on the shelves was fantastic - lots of good domestics and imports, both new and old. The prices of course were a little much (as I was expecting).

(http://www.lewisjeff.com/temp/games-ny1.jpg)

I picked up a minty complete copy of Parodious Da for the Super Famicom along with R-Types for the PS1 for about $50 total.

I also dragged the lady over to the Nintendo Store by Rockefeller Center - they had a small museum area on the 2nd floor which was nice, though slightly underwhelming - nothing too rare on display. The only thing I picked up there was a cool little set of Nintendo commemorative Hanafuda playing cards that were tucked in the back of the store.

Yeah really 3 was a departure in a few ways from 1-X, then you got 4 and 5 which you could obviously tell were done by another developer. Does not make them bad, but yeah, you can just tell.

Metal Slug 4 feels like a copy-pasta MUGEN game, lol. I sold my US AES copy 6-7 years ago to get me a JP copy of Last Blade 2 AES. I also did the same with my KOF 01,02, Rage of the Dragons and Matrimelee. Ended up buying JP Art of Fighting 1-3, Samurai Shodown 4 and Fatal Fury 3. Best decision I made in a while IMO.

At the suggestion of a fellow PCEFXer, I bought a sealed copy of John Madden Duo CD Football on Amazon.  Received it yesterday.

(http://www.jibbajaba.com/images/misc/madden.JPG)
Here it is sealed.

(http://www.jibbajaba.com/images/misc/madden2.JPG)
And here it is open, because f*ck sealed games.

There is still one left for sale from the same seller.  $27 shipped. (http://www.amazon.com/Madden-Football-Turbo-Grafx-16-TurboGrafx/dp/B000FN3CO8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1355429096&sr=8-1&keywords=john+madden+duo)

Here's a shot of the Turbo/PCE section which was unfortunately sorely lacking and nuts expensive:

The prices may be high, but what stores are you shopping at that make these stacks look 'sorely lacking'?  That's a better selection of OBEY than any local place had 'round here, even 20 years ago.

Post by: jeffhlewis on December 13, 2012, 09:16:13 AM
They had quantity, sure. It was just the selection of titles that was lacking. No real standouts among the bunch from what I could see (even though my Japanese is a little rusty).

Was still a really cool store, though. The staff was pretty knowledgeable and really friendly.

I thought that one looked pretty cool, but visually it just doesn't work too well with the original G-1 toys which is the stuff I really liked the most. The last Devastator G2 I had, I had that kit that added better legs to him and made him resemble the toon more. I never bothered to buy the forearm or head kits though, just seemed unnecessary.

(http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a66/Amakusa666/autcion pics/Picture11-1.jpg)

Made his legs fairly poseable, and put him more in scale with the heftier combiners and larger bots.

I got this from toyarena, cheaper then what is going on eBay. There actually two devastator remake the maketoys green giant and Hercules. This is maketoys, I think it looka cooler and resemble more of the g1 version then the Hercules.

Just got back from my trip to California. Visited Disney Land, SeaWorld, and Universal Studios. Had a Blast with the girlfriend. I also went to a few game shops in Anaheim and San Diego. Very disappointed in the turbo selection at these stores. Each Store had about 6 games. All common, and most loose, and over priced. But Here is what i managed to pick up during my vacation

Heh, I haven't picked up many recently myself so that wasn't me bidding against ya.  I've got almost all the JP exclusives except for like 3 at this point, but the last ones I need are slow to come up.  If you are going for a collection let me know, I've got some dupes I need to get rid of but have been lazing around on if you're interested.

 I just got done playing it a few hours ago. I really enjoy it so far. The mechanics make it very unique. I havent played a shmup like it before. You really depend on your option in this game, and there are many frantic moments where you want to shoot but you know you shouldn't because u have to charge up your option.

Also finding an option that you like is a lot of fun. On some stages i like the canon, and on other stages i like the rocket. So that makes the game play varied. Then there is the whole aiming mechanic that really makes you pay attention to how you are moving and shooting

Very disappointed in the turbo selection at these stores. Each Store had about 6 games. All common, and most loose, and over priced. But Here is what i managed to pick up during my vacation

I understand your disappointment, but this is the way it's always been on the TG secondary market.

It's too bad that you didn't know about these two stores that I just discovered earlier today in the Los Angeles/San Diego area.

Now get a trackball and 24khz monitor and play Marble Madness in style!
Oh and little known secret about Marchen Maze, it has two soundtracks, FM, and pure PCM.
If you boot the game the normal way you get the FM, if you swap the disks (A in 1 B in 0) it will boot up with the slightly experimental PCM soundtrack (there's a text file explaining this on disk, the music guy was just f*cking around lol)

I'm really not sure... apparently some games are set up to use it as a double d pad controller.  I'll have to check it out.

Nectarsis, you need to tell me how A vs X is, almost picked that up the other day even though I am more of a DC guy.

Mathius, keep showing the Sega Saturn love.  Daytona CCE is awesome and so is Sega Rally, best part is they are both cheapo.

I think I am going to pick up the Japanese version of Daytona CCE as it has some options lacking in the US release. Sega Rally is easily available here locally so I'll grab it in due time. :)

Ahh classic X-Force and Cable comics. I think I have the Cable one, and I def have the Xforce one as I have most everything from that series on up to like issue 90-100'ish or so set aside along with a ton of other comics for my son when he is ready for them. X-Force was pretty sweet back in the day, and Cable was considered a real hot commodity back in the early 90's for Marvel. If I remember right New Mutants 87 was fetching $100 easy due to his character being established in that issue.

The Cable with the $10 sticker is some story arc, like 20+ issues, I figured good readers...some of the random older issues are for one of the kids that is showing interest in comics, so we made a half price books run.

Finally got my hands on that MV-IC board and cables I've been after for my Neo cab. Missing the wire for the headphone jacks, but I'm not worried about it as I didn't plan on using headphones with my cab anyway. Can finally save my games when the wife pulls me away mid-game to do something else! :dance:

Nevermind, seems the card slot pins are all bent to hell. It's being returned. :(

  Totally awesome find today at the Half-Price Books near my house.  I always check the video games and thought "nice, they got a few non-sports SNES games!" and after flipping through Battle Clash and Metal Combat, I believe I said this out loud after seeing Aero Fighters: "no f*cking way."  I honestly did a double take.  SNES Aero Fighters for 5.99.  This game sells for ridiculous amounts on eBay, and what's funny is they had this sitting out on the shelf and then right above, Yoshi's Safari for $30 locked in the case.  Also picked up Battle Clash and Metal Combat too for 5 each.  Great day! :D

Rashomon and High & Low are classics, of course (http://junk.tg-16.com/images/pcgs.png)

If you are digging these films, may I suggest: Fires on the Plain (Ichikawa) (http://www.google.com/url?q=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fires_on_the_Plain_(film)). It rules. It has brutality and humor and everything. Of course, you can't go wrong with more Kurosawa, either.

Admittedly, this has to be my favorite thread on the board. It's alway cool to see what everyone can get their hands on. Nothing but a big ole' treasure trove of goodies here.

An AW is on my list as well, but the games seem to be a bit pricey even though the arcade board can be had for next to nothing. Much like the MVS.

Those AW carts are the bootleg carts from china which are about $40 each.

[Lynx]... sun visor,
Wow, I did not know of the model 2 sun visor.

Good shit on the AW, it's a much cleaner setup verus the Naomi with all it's power, I/O, GD-ROM, etc. Wish it had more games released.

Here's a pic of the completed PCE Briefcase unit!
(Click on the images to see larger versions. :D)

Notice how nice Keith Courage's Drive looks next to the PC Engine.  I really need to whiten it now...
And here are a couple extra pics of it for good measure:

You can see the cover for the briefcase unit in the background in the picture above.  I forgot to take a picture of it closed up.  :?

Also, here are a couple other recent pickups. I received the latest edition of Battletech as a Christmas present and have begun to paint the 25 included minis.  I picked up the Warhammer books because they are a fantastic resource for painting miniatures (though not necessarily giant walking robots-of-death).

Here are a few games I also picked up at the local used-stuff store.  I wasn't really on the hunt for Secret of Evermore, but for $15 I couldn't pass it up. :mrgreen:

I would like to say thank you to BlueBMW for setting me up with this SNES.  I have never played any SNES games and I'm really looking forward to playing SMW.  He basically shipped it to me for free so I will make sure the repay the favour sometime in the future.  Thanks BlueBMW!  Oh, and this is not something I care to admit, but when the SNES arrived I started playing around with it.  At first I thought the power button was broken.  I kept pressing it and it wasn't moving.  Then I figured out it was a sliding power button, not a push button.  SNES noob here.   :lol:

The GTA, and FF games in the above pic were included with my most recent purchase (shown below).  It's an original 80GB PS3 Fat.  Model CECH-E01.  I bought it for $100.  This model is backwards compatible with PS2 games, equipped with 4 USB ports, and has the concealed area for inserting photo cards (SD and what have you).  It came with a SIXAXIS controller (I now own 3), the original cables, original box/manuals/packaging, and even had the original twist-ties inside.  It had a bad Blu-ray drive, but having suffered from YLOD a year ago I already had an extra one lying around.  I swapped out the Blu-ray and voila!  So now I have 3 PS3 Fats.  Two fully functional, and one for parts.  Here's a picture of my new PS3 and the one I'm using for parts on the left.

Congrats, btw!  BlueBMW is a freaking PCE angel.  Awhile back, he generously sent me a Genesis and Sonic 3 because it came up in Shoutbox that I had never heard the music before. Outstanding guy!

It's only a deal if you think $300 is worth it to play Bonk 3 on CD.  Personally I won't pay over $70 for any game.

Yes it's the cartridge version. As far as I know there are few minor (graphical) changes/fixes and the sound was changed to fit a cart but apart from that it's the same game. The major difference is that you can get the FCD version WAY cheaper/easier  :) (but I don't have a FCD because this system tend to fail a lot  :?).

I had no idea Minesweeper was going to be sealed, especially considering what I paid for it. It's demand is pretty nonexistent- so there is no need keeping it sealed, correct?

There isn't any reason at all, IMO, to keep a game sealed. All games need to be played and enjoyed. :)

Interface only, but the 3.0 System Card and its power supply are already coming in the mail. Now I only need the CD-ROM drive for finishing the setup  :mrgreen:

Yeah, one of the best series ever! LucasArts games were always my favorites among PC gaming, but the first two MI are the best of the whole bunch.

Man I remember playing the DOS versions of these when I was 11 or 12. MI2 is such a great game.

I downloaded and beat Monkey Island 1 for the iOS on my last trans-atlantic flight - lots of memories with that one.

Don't really know yet :lol:
I'm in the process in tearing it down (just removed the PSU) but I thought I'd take a look at the motherboard as well. If additional RAM has been installed, where would one find it in these machines? It's not in the expansion slots in the top left tower, a SCSI card sits there instead tho'.
Title: Re: teh "what did you buy today"-thread
Post by: SuperDeadite on January 27, 2013, 06:33:29 PM
The Ace only has 1mb on the mobo.  In the mobo tower side is the port for a 1mb expansion board.  It's a weird looking thing that plugs in, hard to miss.  Note the system must have 2mbs in the mobo before an i/o slot expansion board can be used.  Meaning you must have the weird 1mb upgrade board inside on these.  It uses the same upgrade as the Pro models, but they have a different bracket to lock it in place though.

Also be aware you can't just put ram inside.  You will need a system disk and a keyboard (or mouse if you use the weirdo 1.0 sys disks) in order go above 1mb as well.

Duo version has amazing music, two extra stages(one I believe is merely just the final boss on his own stage) no loss of parallax, improved graphics and (boring) cinemas. I wish I had a real copy.

Only thing you'd be missing is the incredible All your Base intro from the Genny port. ;)

Books were from Uwajimaya, the Turbo game was from Pink Gorilla.  The Shirow book was pretty cheap so I grabbed it on a whim, it wasn't until I got home and opened it up I realized it was a pair of books.  I dig his illustrations so it was an easy sell, and the art is very cool since it is based on Japanese myths.  However, the stuff from the second (orange) book is definitely NSFW.

That would be sweet. All the people who bought strictly for resale would get all butthurt!! It's getting ridiculous now, if you don't pre-order a CE/LE the day it's announced your chances are slim to none getting one.

Nice xelement!.. I bet you swore with delight? as like you I never find turbo stuff in da wild, I would be pleased :)

Lol, I actually had to do a double-take because I totally didn't realize what it was at first.  Sadly, I only have 1 Turbo Pad anyway though!  I guess I'll just stick with PCE for now.

FYI, you can play any region game on any console, just by doing physical, not electrical modifications.

I bought a Universal Programmable Adapter (UK version), on Ebay a year ago and it works with pal games on a US snes. Used it to play Terranigma (original pal cart) on my snes and it worked just fine, saving and all. No music/game slowdowns. If it works with Terranigma, it'll work with any other pal game since that was a late release that had more protection.

From what I understand, one has to jack around with (file down) the slot cart in the SFC, something I don't particularly want to do. Is there another way?

 I know that in the SNES, it just takes a pair of needle nose pliers and two tabs off, but I actually want the JP console :D

A few recent local finds. :D

(http://risemedia.org/risemedia/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/recent-pickups-120207-600x558.jpg)

EDIT:  I just wanted to add my 2 cents on a couple of these... :P

I've been on a  Robotech kick lately.  I found the first 5 DVDs of Robotech a few weeks back and have really enjoyed re-watching them.  And I just picked up the old Palladium RPG rulebook for Robotech.  It's chock full of so much awesome artwork.  So when I saw Battlecry, which I've never played before, I figured I'd give it a go.

For some reason I've been feeling the urge to suffer through old PS1 racers lately.  :mrgreen: I think it might have started when some of us were talking about Bleemcast and Gran Turismo.  Anyway, not too long ago I picked up Wipeout 3 for the PS1 and have been having fun playing that.  JetMoto 2 caught my eye as I remember having fun playing *one* of the JetMoto games bitd.  In many ways, the game has not aged well and the controls feel clunky compared to modern racers, but you can tell there's a lot of spit shine on this game.  Lots of nice little graphical touches and the game mostly plays pretty fast.

I picked up GBA Eye of the Beholder on a whim.  Didn't know anything about it.  I've only played it for a handful of minutes to make sure it works, but it reminds me a LOT of Order of the Griffon as far as play mechanics go.  You create a party, wander around in first person mode, and go into a turn based Heroscape/D&D 4E mode for battles.  Looks like it'll be a lot of fun.

I've had the GBA Attachment for my Gamecube for practically ever so I've never felt the need to pick up a Super Gameboy.  And I only have 3 GB/GBC games.  But I really like the ones I have and I prefer using a SNES pad to a Gamecube pad.  Really like the interface for this!  I didn't know you could take screenshots!  Wicked cool.

I'm going to go start another thread asking what games playable on the Super Game Boy are worth picking up.

Well honestly I haven't tried it yet.  My Gamecube isn't currently hooked up and today I kept going back and forth between which TV to hook it up to.  I know once it's out I'm going to want to revisit a few choice GC and GBA games so I'm torn between hooking it up in my dedicated retro area in the bedroom (27" Tube TV, boom box speakers, gaming chair) or my living room setup (47" LCD, 5.1 setup - big bass, comfy couch).  I'll decide tomorrow and let you know what I think of the game.  I've read/watched mixed reviews, but overall it sounds like there's fun to be had, if only in short bursts.  I'm cool with that.

I really like this guy's videos and he had a pretty favorable view of the game: so I'm hoping to report back with a favorable report. :)

Ok, so I've played it off an on over the past couple of days and I'm on the fence.  It's not really very good, but the nostalgia factor is pretty high.  It's cool to be able to fly around in the Robotech universe, but the controls are very clunky.  As the jet, it's not too bad, but the Guardian is really challenging to get used to, and when you're in Battloid mode, you only have a machine gun.  The graphics are pretty good.  They have a nifty cel shaded effect, though I don't think it's as nice as the effect found in Wind Waker.  Music from the original show is here, which is neat.  Nice cutscenes.

Got myself a Sony Wega 29 inch CRT (larger than that is hard to find in Japan unless you're OK with widescreen). Damn fine picture. Really makes me want to S-Video or RGB mod my Duo and Supergrafx, but that will be much later, if ever.

Nice score! I've been searching around craigslist for Sony Wega 32 inchers, as I'm beginning to think my Samsung 40" LCD just doesn't cut it for my older consoles.

How does the Duo look on that TV in composite?

It definitely looks good, and I'd bet you would be glad to get hold of a CRT. Naturally, the Duo in composite (and the Supergrafx, too) has that quirk where certain color patterns get all funky when they scroll. That's the nature of the composite encoding on this system. If an S-Video mod can reduce or get rid of that, then I think I wouldn't really need any other quality boosts.

With the S-video mod (thesteve on the forums version), it fixes both the dot crawl and color shimmering. It even gets rid of rainbow effects and shimmering you see even when the screen is sitting still. It also improves resolution and color by a lot. It is definitely worth doing, trust me.

Went thrifting Saturday morning and found a PS2- w/memory card, 2 (working) controllers and all hookups in VERY nice shape.  This particular thrift store that I went to had 4 PS2s for sale, 2 of them had generic 3rd party controllers, and none of the others had memory cards.  When I tested out the one I picked up I found a Guitar Hero II disc inside.  =)  I bought a copy of Raiden III years back, but never was able to try it out as I've never had a PS2 that played those finicky blue backed games!!  Well, I was happy to find that this one was able to do it!  All for only $16.  All working, very happy!!

This thrift store has more PS2's and a couple Original Xbox's as well that are listed at $16 each (If I get them on Saturday's (15% off) )  If anyone is interested, I could take a look next weekend. =)

3 blocks of walking later and I found a copy of final Fantasy IX for Psone for $2.50.  All in all, a great day of 'squatch'n' for goodies!!

It's like a total paradigm shift. I had bought the original GBA when it came out, and I was SOOOOOOOOOOO bummed by the screen, I just put it away. My kiddos have it now, and I'll say this again; Nintendo makes really damn sturdy toys/electronics. Anyway rambling away, this lil SP unit has opened up my heart to the GBA library. There's no replacing a dedicated handheld system.

Metroid Zero Mission is on my list to get next, as well as Mario Kart, cause you gotta have Mario Kart!

Any recommendations ya got Bernie?

The Castlevania games on GBA are goddamn masterpieces - Circle of the Moon's soundtrack was a jaw-dropper when the GBA came out. Phantasy Star collection is a good pickup also. Avoid Lunar Legend and Sword of Mana like the plague.

Recently picked this up for cheap. It's an old Atari cab that was badly converted into an MVS cab.

I noticed the overall shape of the cab looked very familiar...

(http://imageshack.us/a/img109/4048/img0616kk.jpg)

Had a shitty black paint job that started peeling and I saw various bright colors coming through. Being curious I decided to investigate further so I removed a good bit of the paint from the one side of the cab and saw this.

(http://imageshack.us/a/img17/6223/img0617sc.jpg)

Centipede!

The overal condition of the cab is excellent. With a little TLC, this thing is going to be one spiffy looking cab. Perhaps a worthy home for my Hyper 64? :-k

Have you seen the cartoons/read the manga before?  it's by Toriyama - same dude who made Dragonball later..   anyway the main character likes to play with poop and toss them around.. hard to explain but hilarious.  haha

Haven't had a chance to fire it up yet - I need to dig my DS out of storage. Supposed to be decent from what I've heard and it was shockingly cheap to pick up (12 bucks sealed, I think?).

If you were bidding on Gunstar SH over the weekend I think you might have out-bidded me, haha. Still trying to track down a good deal on that one.

Based on the various resources I've read on the Internet, it would appear so. In Japan it is apparently considered Dragon Slayer IV. I'd have never known that if you hadn't mentioned it. :lol:

And based on the videos I've watch of it, I doubt it's going to be something I'll get into. Oh well, gonna give it a go tonight regardless.

Yes, I have come across various sources that indicated it was part of the story line. I didn't realize it was part 4, but you are correct, it's an odd one with a bit of fun once you get used to the controls. A bit "loose" if I remember correctly.

Wow, Beemer, looks like you've got your work cut out for you.  Congrats on Battle Lode Runner!  That's one I'd love to add to my library. :)

These arrived in the mail yesterday from Hit-Japan:

(http://risemedia.org/risemedia/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Pickups-130219-Dungeon-Explorer-II-Salamander-600x418.jpg) (http://risemedia.org/risemedia/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Pickups-130219-Dungeon-Explorer-II-Salamander.jpg)

I finally bit the bullet on the PCE version of Dungeon Explorer II because I just can't justify spending what the US goes for these days and I've been noticing the price of the PCE one going up.  Wanted to get it while it was still under $20.  Made it through the first boss last night, and while I have no idea what's going on, once the gameplay kicked in I had no problem figuring out where to go.  Hopefully I'll make it through a good chunk of the game before getting stuck and moving on...

I've been wanting to play Salamander for awhile.  Holy moly, it's so much more fun than Life Force on the NES.  I picked up Life Force for the NES a couple years ago because I remembered playing the crap out of it when I was in middle/high school.  Way harder than I remembered.  I haven't beaten the first level.  But I made it to level 3 on my first session with the PCE version.  So much better in so many ways.  Hit-Japan took a pretty reasonable offer for it (imo) so ended up getting this one for under $20 as well.

How much of Dungeon Explorer 2 is dependent on reading Japanese? Never played any of the DE games; looks fun.

I'd say if you're on the fence, go ahead and pick it up.  If you don't like it, you can probably sell it here (or elsewhere) for what you paid. 

The control feels a little different, but it's not a bad thing.  The music is awesome.  There were a couple menus I had to fiddle with to get a new game started and I prayed I wouldn't erase my memory in the process.  Luckily, it all went ok. 

Choosing a character was easy enough.  You can scroll through them to compare stats. 

I located the first dungeon without really exploring the castle or the village.  I just wanted to make sure I could find it ok.  Playing through the first dungeon was awesome!  By now I'd warmed up to the control and the first level felt easier than the first level in DE1.  First boss was easy also. 

Unless I'm missing it (or maybe don't have the option because my memory is full - I'll have to check), it seems I only have the ability to write down a password.  After I defeated the first boss, I was given a password, which I wrote down.  I kind of thought I'd have the ability to save, but the password wasn't too long or crazy. 

I'll try to post more detailed thoughts on how playable the PCE version is (in a new thread) once I've spent a little more time with it.

Dan, you do have a save function on DE II.  In your center status menu, the last option is SAVE.  BUT, you had to have created a save file when you first started the game.

How much of Dungeon Explorer 2 is dependent on reading Japanese? Never played any of the DE games; looks fun.

I picked up a copy of the PCE DE2 from Hit-Japan as well, although a few months back. Played through the first few dungeons with relative ease. Gameplay and story progression is as linear and easy to follow as the first game (even with absolutely NO understanding of Japanese). The game pushes you towards the next destination, and so far I assume the storyline isn't necessary for advancement in the game... at least not to the point where I'm at anyway. I'd like to know what is going on, but... oh well. Too bad this game doesn't have an english text option like the PCE version of Cotton does!

Unfortunately, I haven't played since getting through the third dungeon, so I can't comment on anything after that. However, I can say, even in Japanese, this game is just as fun as the first if not more so. I just can't make myself pay the rediculous price the US version is going for right now (especially when the PCE version can be had for $20 or less).

If you're on the fence about picking up the Japanese version to save a buck over the US one, have no fear. It's easily playable, even in another language, and well worth the minimal price tag. It seems as though the Japanese versions of the pricier US titles are starting to inflate in price (Magical Chase, Cotton, Terraforming, and even Legend of Hero Tonma)... the time is now to pick up this gem before it does too.

Thanks for the offer Blue. 

To tell the truth, I've had a burned ISO of the US version for probably 10 years, but I've hardly ever played it because I wanted to savor it when I finally purchased it. Now that I have the PCE version, I'm hoping I can load up my US ISO if I ever get stuck and then go back to the PCE version.  I can't really explain why I'd rather play on legit (albeit crippled, due to the language barrier in my case) software when I have (and had) an eye-patched version for so long.

Sega Soccer Slam [XBOX]
Endgame [PS2]
Princess Debut [DS]
Jam Sessions [DS]
Picross DS [DS]
Ivy The Kiwi [DS] Loose
Contact [DS] Loose
Flash Focus: Vision Training [DS] Loose
Dark Spire [DS] Loose

I guess you can see the prices in the picture, all the loose games were half price. I'm keeping all of it except the Contact and Dark Spire which I'll probably sell to recoup some of the cost. Endgame was a Guncon game I didn't have and the other stuff was pretty random but things I was interested in.

I'm so happy to be a pretty princess with Princess Debut now! :P

I agree with elabit's comparison. The game is pretty cool overall. Lots of cool powerups are available and the game makes great use of color cycling. I especially dig the music. Naxat games always seem to deliver quality tunage such as Alien Crush, Devil's Crush and Psychosis. W-Ring has a strange/mysterious music theme throughout the game that I love, with stage four being my fave. :)

- Starfire light gun

All in great condition.  The guy who sold me the VMUs had taken the batteries out before I bought them :roll: so I had to get some more.

Looks like it's for the Wii, a system known for it's MASSIVE library of amazing games and fighters with anime chicks in them. If you don't own Melty Blood on the Wii, you probably aren't even truly alive.
Never really got into the Wii much... bought one for my wife but I didn't really spent much time on it. Played some drunken Wii Sports, but other than that...

Guess my pulse is barely detectable, haha

well, i took one of these (got a busted one for $5):
http://www.amazon.com/Wii-Fighting-Stick-Nintendo/dp/B000SKLUXS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1361849001&sr=8-1&keywords=hori+fighting+stick+wii

and gutted it.
the art is stuff i designed from a couple pieces i found online, and got printed on some adhesive backed vinyl at https://www.gameongrafix.com/
i'd recommend it, that stuff is nigh indestructible.

as for the buttons and stick, all sanwa stuffs.
i haven't finished it yet though, so it doesn't work, but i'm going to be putting one of these in there:
http://forums.shoryuken.com/discussion/46572?threads/t.46572/

so yeah, it'll work on the wii, but even better, it'll work on teh turbobs, a system known for great 8-button fighters.

Agreed, Tokei.  It's cute as hell and tons o' fun - the only part I don't care for is the jumping bits where it's hard to tell where you're gonna land, consequently often falling to your demise.

Nice haul for the price, MKR goes for that by itself usually.

Magic Carpet is a weird game, haven't played it in years though.  Played through Die Hard arcade about 50 times too.

Bartre, does your Magic Knight Rayearth have its sticker collection in the back of the manual intact? That's a good price on all that stuff!
Title: Re: teh "what did you buy today"-thread
Post by: bartre on February 26, 2013, 01:21:10 PM
mati - yeah, it's the nicest game in the bunch, just about perfect, and has the stickers :)

i mostly bought it for Die hard, nights and MKR, but astal and magic carpet were games i wanted to try, but never picked up.
i figured it was a good price, seems like astal is ~$20, and Die hard is ~$25, so I ain't complaining.

Astal is a bit shallow gameplay wise but its beauty is nearly unrivaled. A true 2D graphics showcase.

Astal is kinda simple and the gameplay is so-so.  The game is one of the best looking on the system though, worth playing the relatively short game just to get a good look.

Very nice score on the Rayearth, the last US Saturn game!  Who's on the disc?  Umi (blue), Fuu (green), or Hikaru(Red)?


I don't normally go shopping on weekdays, but after a tip from Dan about Gamestop doing a Buy 1 Get 50% off for PSP games I went around town and hit 5 GameStops looking for deals.  They're really serious about clearing this stuff out, one store I bought from was literally just about to take down the PSP display in 20 minutes before I walked in.

Lots of pictures incoming!

GameStop was missing part of the charger so they gave me a Vita one as a replacement for free.
The screen still looks very nice too, I was surprised!

Guitar Hero DS version

Definitely a pricy night, but I got a lot of good games at VERY nice prices.  Some are duplicates to what I have, so I might try and trade them off to pick up games I'm missing.  I really didn't need a second PSP Go either, but the price was right so I figured it wouldn't hurt to have a backup.  Now I need a white one :D

I love Space Invaders Extreme,  you should also check out Infinity Gene (if you haven't already). It's not as flashy but it's still a fun spin on the series. I know it's on PSN but I'm not sure if it's PSP compatible.

Finally it has arrived!   Long have I been reluctant to drop the coin on one of these...  Its for the X68000 so I can take anything the 68000 puts out and run it on any display I want.

Got this last week, it's a special edition that was only released in Latin America called GOW Omega. It has the three PS3 GOW games (Collection, Origins and III) in a nice steelbook case and a bronze-looking statue of Kratos, made by an argentine artist.

A few of the purchases from the last two months or so....

Always wanted one of these.  Only took TWO months for it to arrive out of Japan.

Anyone know if there is a English guide/walkthrrou for PopfulMail?  Also, is there a difference with the graphics playing it with an Arcade card verses the Super System card?  The manual shows both....

I believe the only difference for Popful when using an Arcade Card, is the load times. 

Here is a guide.  It's two parts.

Sparky, what year is that one, do you know? Mine is from 2006 and it's still going strong. I have 10.6.8 on it but it can run up to 10.7.x. Can't run 10.8. But really 10.6.8 is the best for now. You can put an ATI (I think) 5770 graphics card in it and it will help A LOT.

I managed to get that one CIB (damn near mint condition actually) for about $30 shipped from the UK; lucked out big time. I've seen it go for $75-100 CIB.

Just set your eBay alerts for it and it pops up every now and then, though you'll have to wade through all of the Game Gear copies that pop up.

I picked up a few Game Boy games recently:

Super Breakout - I LOVE Alleyway on the Game Boy and hoped this would be more of the same.  There are enough differences that I just can't get into it.

Tetris - Ahhh....  This brings back memories.  I never personally owned a Game Boy, but bitd I had an Express and my 6 yr old little brother had a Game Boy.  I remember playing the hell out of Tetris on my little brother's and other friend's systems.  I've had the NES version for ages and I don't know why it's taken so long to get this version.

Solar Strike - I've had my eye on this for awhile at my local used-stuff store and galam recently mentioned in my Super Game Boy thread, so I finally bit the bullet.  So far I've only been able to make it 2 or 3 levels in, but I really like it.  Simple and challenging, yet still feels fair.

Wish I could post that I've picked up more obey, but I don't see it out in the wild at all where I'm at and I'm not actively seeking anything online right now. :(

  Picked up Xenoblade Chronicles for Wii today at Gamestop.  It was the only (used) copy in 100 mile radius from me.  They wanted $60 used, but I used a 25% off promo code for a sale they were doing this weekend, plus my 10% off Pro Member discount - I ended up paying $40 bucks for it!  Granted I had to drive an hour to get to that particular Gamestop, but it was a gorgeous day and totally worth it.  Also picked up Lollipop Chainsaw, Disgaea 4 and KoF VII for PS3.  Man, what a great day!

Went to a few brick and mortar game stores in town yesterday.  As expected the prices were sad, one had Vasteel - $150, another had Neutopia II (loosie) - $90, another had Neutopia - $75.  I saved the one that's typically the worst at pricing for last.

I get there and their prices are still bad, a few things I could use but nothing I really wanted to shell out what they were asking for them.  On my way out the door I look to the right and they have a boxed PC Engine Duo.  It's been there for quite awhile and last time i was there (which was like 4 months ago) they told me they wanted $500 for it. And what do I see sitting on top of it? A US Duo!  This is the kind of store they always eBay things befor they sell you them, but this time there were 2 young girls at the counter.  She rings it up without checking eBay and I get a nice US Duo for $199.99!

What does that do?


Echo, Rogue Leader.  What DOES this do?


It lets you take advantage of the awesome FM music on Sega Master System games.  You install it into your US unit so you can play them with great music but still get US text.  The only other option from my understanding is a JP Master System.

Maxell 2S 5 1/4 Diskettes, Brand New
Quattro Sports [NES]


Since the PC games are in such goood condition I'm hesitant to get rid of them but a lot of them I already have on Sega CD so I can't decide if I want to keep them all.  The condition on them is amazing, the LucasArts ones have all the goodies and even the "Adventurer" magazines still.  Don't know about the diskettes but I'm guessing they're probably fine, I don't have a 3.5" floppy drive any more though.

The Quattro Sports is funny though since I was just talking to Dan the other day about the Quattro games since I'd never heard of them.

Got the IFU from BlueBMW in today, and hooked it up.  Some of you may wince a little at what I done to the cover, so that I could close it without unhooking the controller.  I also had to make slight clearance for a region mod switch.  I do not think it turned out bad, even though some trimming was involved.  :)

Now after playing, I can just shut it and it can basically stay dust free, and look nice sitting there on the shelf.  I had to remove the right latch, and trim a little to allow room for the controller.

Went to a few brick and mortar game stores in town yesterday.  As expected the prices were sad, one had Vasteel - $150, another had Neutopia II (loosie) - $90, another had Neutopia - $75.  I saved the one that's typically the worst at pricing for last.


Yeah, People Play Games in Chicago had a really nice condition boxed copy of Neutopia II (complete with plastic tray) for $130 when I visited there on Saturday.  If I didn't already have a boxed copy, then I would have been pretty tempted...

My Core Grafx has a smaller region switch so it would probably fit in the briefcase without having to make adjustments. That's a cool idea cutting a hole for the controller. Is one latch enough to secure it and still be able to carry it?

Roy, that definitely is a pretty Duo. I don't own one yet but would make an exception and find the room for one if/when I find a good deal. I am still kicking myself for not jumping on the one Ope had for sale a while back. It 'twas boxed.

The nice thing about the new FM board is that it incorporates a region mod now which means you can play Japanese games without a BIOS replacement. I plan on getting one for my Mark III since you can't use RGB with the original FM unit.

Almost all of the necessary data lines are present on the Z80 but you'll need to wire up an additional logic chip to generate the KBSEL signal which the Genesis/MD lacks.

Tim sells those things for $70 a pop I believe, shipped. They're pretty solidly produced and he ships pretty quick.

As mentioned - the latest revision allows you to play Wonderboy III with FM sound which previously was only possible with a dodgy region mod.

US copies of Phantasy Star and Y's unfortunately don't have the FM soundtrack on the ROM - they had to be removed to make room for the English translation. If you pick up a Master Everdrive though you can get the fan-translated ROMs to get FM + english translation.

I just got this for a lil over $100 shipped.  It had no power supply but I use my Model 1 power supply.  Anyone have a proper power supply for sale?
The system was FILTHY, like flea market filthy, and all the games had VideoRental stickers all over.  Not one game would work unless I attached it with a Q-Tip and then of course.  I have since cleaned all the games with G0-Gone and opened the unit and removed a pound of dust and filth.  Everything looks so much better now.

The controller worked fine but rattled a bit and the 1st turbo switch was iffy, only worked half way which is a no-no for Bonk or The Legendary AX II.  I opened that, cleaned all the black stuff out and it's perfect.

I use the NES RF which has to be better then the OEM unit but it still sucks.  Looking for a CD unit now and then RGB/Region modding.  I can get an arcade card too for like $40, is that all I need?

This is my 1st turbo however back in the day I had the Turbo Express.  It ruled until my buddy stole it from me. :-({|=

Thanks guys, pics and vid below.

I really should get one of these. We plan to do an SMS vs NES episode one of these days and it would be wrong not to mention and demonstrate the FM sound. Looks pretty easy to install. I know it comes with a switch and wire to enable/disable JP mode for games like Wonder Boy 3, but is the FM/PSG switch easily accessible from the outside of the SMS? It says I don't have to bust off the plastic, but if I do can I reach that switch?

Joe: the kit ships with a switch to enable FM or PSG that plugs right into the board with no soldering. That white potentiometer in the pic controls the FM/PSG mix. The only thing you have to do (at least in the versions I've installed; not sure about the latest revision) is remove a single cap and solder two wires and a ground. It's pretty easy to do even with minimal soldering skill.

Tim released version 2.0 recently, with this note on his site:

One of the most popular games with FM sound is Monster World III: The Dragon's Trap. This game is programmed to use the FM sound hardware only if it detects that is is running on a Japanese SMS (or Mark III). For this reason I have added a region switch to V2.0 of the SMSFM board. A three position switch is supplied which can be used to select between PSG, FM, or Japanese/FM.

Just outta curiosity, are there any games that are actually rare or hard to find for the system?  I don't kbow of anything, I was under the impression most N64 games are $10 or less, with some of the popular games reaching the $30 range.

Alos, why would anyone want to complete a set of the N64?

N64 is my childhood, essentially.
but yeah, there are some real rare games for the system, as well as a few OMG R@RE games that aren't actually rare, but idiots pay out the ass for them.

example of category 1 - Clay Fighter Sculptor's cut, Turok Rage Wars (grey cart), and Stunt Racer 64.
examples of category 2 - Conker's Bad Fur Day, Mario Party 3, and Super Smash Bros.

Popped my Non-Neo Geo arcade pcb cherry. P.O.W. Jamma board and manual! Used to spend alot of money on this game as a kid. A local public swimming pool had a cab outside of their snack bar/dressing rooms. When I was done in the pool, I spent time playing this while waiting for my mom to pick me up. :) Playing it now brings back fond memories.

(http://imageshack.us/a/img836/8886/img0644jt.jpg)
Also picked up a few other needed items. Jamma harness extender (wrapped electrical tape around the solder joints on the male connector), button wrench, 2 button hole caps, and 12 pcb feet. 6 I already mounted on P.O.W.

EDIT: Nevermind, after some research I found that these extenders are basically junk. Works well with an MVS 1 slot, but this board is a bit power hungery and the cheap power wires aren't the proper gauge to provide accurate power without playing with power supply voltage output which is a big hell no.

P.S. - when you were a kid did you call it POW like the sound cause you didn't know better?

Yes I did, but I still call the game POW to this day. It's quicker than spelling it out, and people give you funny looks when you say it. I love it. :lol:

I almost picked up the NES version of the game instead, but then I played it on a test system at a game shop and realized the game is horrible. Don't regret my choice.

Just got a PCE CD-ROM² drive from Keith Courage (thanks again, man!) and so I completed my IFU setup. Tested it with Snatcher and I almost cried when I saw it in action, it's a childhood dream to see that working on a real hardware, since when I read about it in a magazine back in 1992. And Keith does an excellent job with the drives, the thing reads discs faster and better than a PS3!

Yes sir Tasujin I do have skateboard sponsors. I ride for a skateboard company called Sensitive and a skate shop called 3043 Ride Shop. I also am part of a skateboard family web site called Bloody Nose Ballerina.com I also teach private skateboarding lesson's through a company called Go Skate.com. Ive been riding since I was 6 years old and have had sponsors and people supporting my skateboarding since I was a teenager. My board sponsor thought it would be cool to make me some decks with gaming art work since their well aware of my obsession with old school retro gaming and collecting. They just need me to submit some art work to their art work guy so that they can figure out how they are going to go about making the board graphics cost effective. The less amount of colors needed the cheaper the heat transfers will cost to have printed. I didn't really want to bring it up until it was in full swing. I wouldn't want to jinx it before it becomes a full reality. I recently chatted with Galam about some old skateboarders from the 90's that he thought I might have known and after rapping out about that I brought up what I was working on so he sent me that art work for some creative ideas for my project.

NICE!!!  I wish I could find some Neo Stuff in the wild.  I once found a loose Magician Lord Cart and it was $99, ehh.  Soccer Brawl is a shitty game but I'd collect it just to have it.




Yesterday I got the following.

Atari Flashback 2 for $5.   Great little console with real Atari hardware in it and quality joysticks.  It has A/V out and 40 games in it.  It will keep me busy for a while.


SNES Aladdin.  Doesn't work, can't get it on :(  Was $3 IDK what to do.


Game Boy Chase H.Q. Terrible game the PCE version is vastly superior.
Game Boy Paper Boy, arcade perfection!!!!

Atari VCS Towering Inferno, it was FREE!
Colecovision Zaxxon!!!!!!!

Spent waaaaay too much money at MGC, but came home with some goodies:

Finally picked up Radiant Silvergun and Granzort completes my non Darius related SGX set.  RAU-30 for kicks,  Slug X for when friends come over, a black GCN for nostalgia, and some GB players for playing Advance Wars on the BIG screen haha.

(http://i905.photobucket.com/albums/ac253/bmcdanold/MGC2013_1_zpse73a92f4.jpg)


I finally took the plunge and picked up an AES.  I knew it was modded for svideo and component, just found out it also had a unibios installed.  Sweet!  Picked up Riding Hero since I have no other AES games yet.  Had to have something to plug into the thing... :P

(http://i905.photobucket.com/albums/ac253/bmcdanold/MGC2013_2_zpse0403d97.jpg)


After seeing it last year and doing a lot of hemming and hawwing, I decided to grab this stupid little thing.  Completely useless really, and I hear that there are really no Sharp X1 games worth a crap, but its cool hardware.  Got my Master System back from Jeff Lewis, modded for svideo and FM sound  8)

I picked up quite a few things at MGC. A stack of Famicom games, a blue Game Gear primarily for the battery covers. Castlevania Legends for Game Boy. And one other odd item that I decided to make a demonstration video of.

See, it's a good thing I wasn't able to make it this year.  I *love* arcade Cadash and had I seen that, I would have followed bartre's footsteps and built a supergun just to play it.  Considering the current rat's nest I have in the living room, I cannot imagine that going over well with my better half. :)

it's all good, I come in with no expectations on the game. After I get done with it, I'll have to give Wind Waker a try as well. Considering waiting for the HD version of the Wii U eventually though.

Just picked this up recently. PCB and box only, no kit contents.
(http://img705.imageshack.us/img705/5268/img0664oc.jpg)
With the ridiculous prices for the MVS cart these days, I just bit the bullet and got this instead. Was marked as bad, but turned out to be just a loose slotted chip on the board. Not bad for $10.00. :-" Looks like it was barely used.

Always wanted to play it and quite like it. I noticed that the game gets alot of negative feeback over at the N-G.com forums. Does tend to suffer from issues such as with hit detection, but I can look past them.

It's a repro sadly. I don't mind though as it was never released state side and I refuse to pay eBay prices. It's a really killer game though with bright colors and some sweet parallax.

Sparky, I have been spending the last two days with Android Assault (and Cotton too!). I am really digging the music!

Beemer - did you test the S-vid and FM on that Sega Master System? just wanted to make sure it survived the trip!

My MGC haul (all CIB!):
(http://www.lewisjeff.com/temp/mgc-2013-2.jpg)
Keio 2 was the grail out of this bunch - from Carlson along with Valis IV, Pomping World and Chase HQ. The rest were either just lightgun games or stuff I found cheap during our emergency run to Gamestop.

(http://www.lewisjeff.com/temp/mgc-2013-1.jpg)
Some cheapo Super Fami games I got late on Sunday. Guy I was buying from was selling most of them CIB, 5 for $20 along with some PCE games and loose Famicom carts. By the time I got there it was pretty much picked over.

(http://www.lewisjeff.com/temp/mgc-2013-3.jpg)
The only game I really wanted to target specifically at MGC was Akumajo Densetsu for the Famicom - Carlson hooked me up again on this one (thanks man!). Also picked up Duck Tales, Star Soldier and everyone's favorite Huey.

If you ever open up Killzone, you'll see my name in the credits in the manual! :)  It was one of 2 games that I got my name in (The other being Rainbow Six: Lockdown for the PS2). I took a crack at working in QA for a few game companies bitd, but it didn't take.

Resistance is the best FPS of the era, hands down.

I always say how much I like this game and people react with "why?"  Now that the developer is moving on from the franchise, it sadly might be done.

nectaris, you need to get the PS3 MLB 13 too, it is great fun to play your RTTS at home and on the road.  The home game is definitely the better of the 2 too.  Amazon had buy both get $20 off if you preordered, was a great deal.

Ughh wish I would have seen that deal first :\

Resistance is the best FPS of the era, hands down.

I always say how much I like this game and people react with "why?"  Now that the developer is moving on from the franchise, it sadly might be done.

We are so going to hug!

I think you need to stop asking about  Killzone and you need to pick up Resistance 3, which can be found on the cheap now.

Picked up this 26" NEC TV from a small thrift shop for $10. It was untested and the power cord was completely cut off. Bought a new cord for $12 at Radio Shack and it cleaned up nicely.

I was going to say late 80's (with those buttons on the front), but Roy can look at the back and tell us the manufacturing info!

I'm going to guess 1989. I bet SNKNostalgia is closer, but, anyway... (http://junk.tg-16.com/images/pcgs.png)

Aha! Thanks for looking that up, Roy. 1987 baby, I knew it was 80's...the buttons on the front are the giveaway...by the late 80's/early 90's, designs were increasingly avoiding drawing attention to buttons.

Let's see...1987...I was rocking:
19" RCA TV (CATV in) <-- VCR (composite video in) <-- NES --> 8-track stereo receiver (it had a "mono" button to send sound to both speakers when a source was mono, such as NES).

True, but for that price you can just as easily find one that has RGB or both RGB and component. I got both of my PVMs (one's an older one with RGB, the other is a little newer with dual RGB/component inputs) for about $35 locally.

Anyway, I picked this up yesterday. I spent a little more than I was willing to pay but it's one of the harder to find Atari 8-bit carts and it's a damn good port of the game too: http://tinyurl.com/bpn4hat

Pikachu 3DS XL: $170
FFXIII-2 PS3: $.26 cents

The 3DS XL got a black line within 12 hours as shown here:

http://imageshack.us/a/img838/5971/20130328230847.jpg

So I had to send it to Nintendo since all the stores locally, within Wisconsin anyway, are sold out as it was a Limited Edition console. Should be back within the next week to week and a half.

FF13-2, I am not really fond of. But I'll trudge through it since I want to see how the storyline continues from the first game.

Also at Goodwill, I picked up these for $1.50 each:

Your find is potentially better...but I think the music from Nostalgia 1907 trumps it (here's a taste... http://www.tg-16.com/mp2/Nostalgia_1907/Title_Track.mp3

On a serious note:
Like everyone else around here (????) I would love to have PC Cocoron but I know that will sadly never happen :(.

The owner Yuki is a cool dude, I've not met him in person (tats has at the bar), but I've done a few email chats with him.  Very helpful as long as you follow the rules.  The only being is that you don't ask for what you can't have.  :P  If he ever decides to share PCC, it won't be because of people pestering him.

And Tats is correct, you wrote "Sanfle", you forgot the modifying marker which changes Fu into Pu. :)

I have almost the exact same monitor.  Mine is a different model # but it looks exactly like that.  It's pretty small, but has a great picture.  Good for a secondary monitor, but probably too small for someone's primary gaming display.  But if you put it up on a desk at eye-level, it's great.  Mine sits on my desk right next to my computer monitor (which also doubles as my TV.)

For $55, I'd pick it up.

Chris

Edit: Just as a warning, the built-in speaker doesn't work with RGB for some reason.  Only composite and s-video.

There's not much Turbob up where I am.  I've only made one local find (through Kijiji) and that scored me some great hu card games and my TG-CD with hard shell.  Today I made my second local Kijiji find.  All I really wanted was the TG case (in the background), but to get it I had to buy the entire lot.  Asking price was $400, but I told them that was high and offered $250.  I thought that was a reasonable offer and not a low ball.  Pretty happy with the transaction.  All of it is in pretty good condition.

Keep an eye on my 4sale thread as I'll be adding quite a few items.  I also plan on bringing a lot of this to a local (Kitchener) game meet in May as trade bait.

Two more copies of Keith Courage!  Lucky me!  ](*,)

There's not much Turbob up where I am.  I've only made one local find (through Kijiji) and that scored me some great hu card games and my TG-CD with hard shell.  Today I made my second local Kijiji find.  All I really wanted was the TG case (in the background), but to get it I had to buy the entire lot.  Asking price was $400, but I told them that was high and offered $250.  I thought that was a reasonable offer and not a low ball.  Pretty happy with the transaction.  All of it is in pretty good condition.

Keep an eye on my 4sale thread as I'll be adding quite a few items.  I also plan on bringing a lot of this to a local (Kitchener) game meet in May as trade bait.

Congrats, Quid!  I'd say $250 is a fair price for all that.  I love that case and can't wait for the moment you pass it on to me. :)

My recent pick ups

Returned Batman and picked up my lego. Have yet to play it yet, cant stop playing Monster hunter
(http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g71/ninja_velmor/IMG_0581_zps32c0685c.jpg)

I wanted the 3DS so badly i pre ordered it from Gamestop.com, then i had my g/f go to target in the morning (i was at work) to buy one, since it was $160 instead of $199. The next day i returned the one i got from gamestop
(http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g71/ninja_velmor/IMG_0580_zpsbc625ed2.jpg)

Took a lil over a month to get this. First one i got in the mail, the head was detached. I bought this from NCSX, and when they shipped it all they put in the box was newspaper, and they wrapped the box of the model in a KOF maximum impact 2 poster. After i sent it back and got another one, the box had bubble wrap and all the packing fixins

The other day I picked up Side Arms in a Tempest cabinet. Finally got it working tonight after refurbishing the cabinet. Side Arms more than any other game, defines the sound of an arcade to me.

Over the past year, I got rid of all my other arcade cabinets except Final Fight and the Mame cab I built. Now that I have space again, I might get an MVS cabinet or something next.

Magician Lord is one of those games that "defines" the Neo Geo for me. I remember reading EGM's review of the game back when it was first released and intently studying the screen shot. For me Magician Lord was that one game that I could never have because of the price of Neo games back then. Owning the game now obviously lessens those rose tinted memories I have but ML will always share a special place in my heart.

Nam is the game the defined the Neo for me. ML was a must have also: The colors and design, good control...I put a roll of quarters in that game and still never beat it (I had the memory card so I felt it was not a total waste of money). Solid pick-up.

I feel the same way about Nam-1975. I had my AES for several years and slapped my forehead, asking myself why I don't have this for my AES. I bought it within a week, US mint with no black marker censoring for $40 in 2007. I enjoy it a lot more than ML gameplay wise.

I mostly have all the main fighters along with Metal Slug 3 and 15 common carts like Blues Journey, ML, Baseball Stars, Thrash Rally, KotM, etc... I still want to get some Shootem ups, but most are too expensive and I might as well go the MVS route for those. I can at least buy Last Resort for AES maybe, but definitely not Pulstar, Blazing Star and Viewpoint... youch.

I received Timeball for our beloved Turbografx-16 today from geddon_jt.  Thanks again!

I also ordered Otomedius Excellent off amazon.com today.  It's been on my watch list since it first came out, but it's always been a little too pervy for me to want to pick up.  But now that it's $8 (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003WY86NE/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and I needed something to hit the $25 mark on another order for free shipping, I figured "What the heck."  I've been watching and it looks like a fan-service game in the best way possible!  Not only in the boob aspect, but it makes so many references to earlier games (and I haven't even played them all yet!) and the music is fantastic.  It also has nods to Parodius and Twinbee (and probably other Konami games I'm not familiar with).  I'm really excited to play this... when my wife isn't around. :mrgreen:

I was pissed b/c it want's DLC for Castlevania chick. You can end up spending more for the digital extras that should be in the game, versus the actually hard copy game. But, still a great buy for $8. Add Akai and Death to bump your order over the $25 mark...both of the others are better than Otomedius IMO.

Nice!

You should really enjoy Hellfire S, especially if you have a friend to play through the game with you.  It's one of my favorite shoot-'em-ups for the system.

Zero Wing will chew you up and spit you out, but it'll be fun.

I've been wanting to get Ghost Sweeper, but I just haven't gotten around to it yet.

Which game is that at the bottom of your picture?

I also picked this bad boy up for $6.00.  Treasure is the shit, what a quality shooter for a launch PS2 game in 2000.  I have this game for the Sega CD as well.
I run this game on my PS2 Slim via component cables, the textures are a lil blury but has to be because of standard DEF.  Game moves great very little slow down.

Dragon Spirit is a hidden gem on the Turbografx-16.  Spend some time with it and I'm sure you will fall in love.  It's got an outstanding soundtrack (one of my favorites) and it's hard as hell, but even I've been able to make it a handful of levels in so it can be done. :)

I've actually been playing this a lot lately (because I also picked it up for ~$5) and it's incredible.  It's a no-brainer to pick up for $5-10.

Picked up a 3DS for my daughter's birthday.  She turns 18 in a couple weeks.  Grabbed the new Super Mario game for it and Ocarina of Time as well.  For myself, I grabbed the new The Walking Dead game for my Xbox 360.

I hadn't seen it in years and watching the first few episodes last night, I wondered how in the world they ever got the show onto a kids channel. Sure, Animaniacs got away with a lot, but they were usually subtle about it. Rocko isn't subtle at all lol.

Rocko was pretty passive compared to Ren & Stimpey. Some of those episodes were not for the weak of stomach. Rocko was a good show regardless.

They are rings.

Came as a prize in the cereal box.  I wanted these so bad as a kid but my mom was against anything Turtles.  I remember some how getting a Don ring but it broke really quickly.

Saw these 4 in a bag at Value Village for $2.  For 50 cents each I thought I'd get a little bit of my childhood back.

Well, it's actually pretty good.  They focused on game story, so its not all graphics.  Its basically a FPS however, but a really good one.  I like how it's a prelude to what actually happens.  I'd say if you enjoy the show, go ahead and pick it up.

Oh yeah, TG16 was kinda big in Mexico. TG-16, CD unit and games were officially (like with a licensed distributor) sold on a big department stores chain over here, called Liverpool, something like Macy's or Sears in the US. Then when Turbo Duo came out, some stores like "Gameplanet" (they operate still to date) did took special orders from some gamers, and I bought my Turbo Duo and many games with them. Liverpool never brought the Duo or anything TTi related, guess the TG16 sales were not as expected.

I got this lot from open market, it's like the mexican version of eBay over here (I think they are actually associated) called MercadoLibre. From time to time, great deals like this one can be found there. Most of the time everything is overpriced, but this is proof that sometimes you can hit the jackpot!

DUDE (http://junk.tg-16.com/images/pcds.png), I'd love to learn more about TG-16 in Mexico. ANY CHANCE that someone has scanned old flyers/advertisements/catalogs from Liverpool and/or Gameplanet?

What titles were available? Entire North American catalog? Any special documentation (like instruction manuals en Espanol) created for MercadoMexicano?

Sadly, I don't have any advertisement from that time... Gameplanet never included the system and games in their printed catalogs or ads in fact. Now, Liverpool on the other hand, had an entire section of electronics and the TG16-CD was connected as a demo console on one corner. Not all titles were available, I remember they had the basics like fighting street, monster lair and valis III. No manuals in spanish or anything extra.

Now, if there are other mexican gamers around 30 years old like me, here in the forum, maybe someone has more info about this... creating another thread just for that would be cool, if we have enough (worth) info!

Nice! I don't believe I have seen one of those here on the forums for a very long time. Since I like to play my games I will never own this Darius since it is just a boss rush. I hope it didn't set you back too much.

yeah, i'm debating how to do that
i've got a dead NES that i could mess with, but i'm really just concerned with getting it working for now.
atm, it's got a bit of color bleed on the red channel, which is irking me.
my other option is to use some standoffs and mount it to a plexi base with with some plated siding.

Just bought this lot. For the price (under $140) I think it was pretty good!

Biggest city in the world, Mexico City, Mexico! :)


That is a great find indeed. I didn't know turbo games were sold in Mexico. Just curious, did you get that at an open market or a video game store?


Oh yeah, TG16 was kinda big in Mexico. TG-16, CD unit and games were officially (like with a licensed distributor) sold on a big department stores chain over here, called Liverpool, something like Macy's or Sears in the US. Then when Turbo Duo came out, some stores like "Gameplanet" (they operate still to date) did took special orders from some gamers, and I bought my Turbo Duo and many games with them. Liverpool never brought the Duo or anything TTi related, guess the TG16 sales were not as expected.

I got this lot from open market, it's like the mexican version of eBay over here (I think they are actually associated) called MercadoLibre. From time to time, great deals like this one can be found there. Most of the time everything is overpriced, but this is proof that sometimes you can hit the jackpot!


DUDE (http://junk.tg-16.com/images/pcds.png), I'd love to learn more about TG-16 in Mexico. ANY CHANCE that someone has scanned old flyers/advertisements/catalogs from Liverpool and/or Gameplanet?

What titles were available? Entire North American catalog? Any special documentation (like instruction manuals en Espanol) created for MercadoMexicano?


Sadly, I don't have any advertisement from that time... Gameplanet never included the system and games in their printed catalogs or ads in fact. Now, Liverpool on the other hand, had an entire section of electronics and the TG16-CD was connected as a demo console on one corner. Not all titles were available, I remember they had the basics like fighting street, monster lair and valis III. No manuals in spanish or anything extra.

Now, if there are other mexican gamers around 30 years old like me, here in the forum, maybe someone has more info about this... creating another thread just for that would be cool, if we have enough (worth) info!


Hell yes, I think that is a good idea: compiling everyone's personal anecdotes about the TG-16 market in Mexico. I love piecing together TG-16's history. (http://junk.tg-16.com/images/pcgs.png)


SPECULATION: I'm sure the TG-16 scene was super tiny (for example, would it ever exist beyond major urban areas that had businesses catering to affluent neighborhoods?).

Did you purchase this from the guy on the neo-geo forum. I was so tempted to buy it a few days ago

It is a tactical RPG like Final Fantasy Tactics.  It is actually quite difficult, though it is fair and rewarding.  This is one I used to play a lot when it was new, but I haven't touched in a while...  maybe I will give it a go sometime soon.

The game's claim to fame is it was released under the title Blazing Heroes as well for some reason.

Yeah reasons why Sega did that back in 1995-1996 or so ? It was because Dungeons n Dragons had that name Mystaria so Sega had to change the title to Blazing Heroes but they are basically the same game !

if you like WALL-E have you ever seen Silent Running it was one of the many influences that director Andrew Stanton had when making the film.  It's older but good.

I thought the same thing tats about the controller but it works well, he goes forward and turns quickly around when he needs to go in a different direction. Arms, eyes & head move and eyes light up. He dances and talks and you can program moves. He is a bit of alright :)

I bought a few Gamecube games as I was just given a CIB Platinum console.

Super Mario Sunshine
Super Smash Bros. Melee
Eternal Darkness

It's not really a system I'm terribly familiar with, so I'm pretty much going on word of mouth for a few titles to try out. I definitely want to get the 2 Zelda games and Luigi's Mansion as well.

There are some good games for the Gamecube, but the Game Boy adapter is where it's at!  GBA games look so much better on a TV. :)

Where are you guys digging these things up?  I've been keeping an eye open, but I haven't seen one come up for sale in my area.

Gotta look around and get creative with keywords but i've had no problem finding 4 pro monitors to buy that i liked within the last 2 years and I've seen tons more for sale. Try doing an ebay local search then of course craigslist or whatever they use up in canadia (mooseknuclerlist?) try searching pvm, professional monitor, studio monitor, medical monitor, sony professional tv etc

Just bought this lot. For the price (under $140) I think it was pretty good!

Biggest city in the world, Mexico City, Mexico! :)

That is a great find indeed. I didn't know turbo games were sold in Mexico. Just curious, did you get that at an open market or a video game store?

Oh yeah, TG16 was kinda big in Mexico. TG-16, CD unit and games were officially (like with a licensed distributor) sold on a big department stores chain over here, called Liverpool, something like Macy's or Sears in the US. Then when Turbo Duo came out, some stores like "Gameplanet" (they operate still to date) did took special orders from some gamers, and I bought my Turbo Duo and many games with them. Liverpool never brought the Duo or anything TTi related, guess the TG16 sales were not as expected.

I got this lot from open market, it's like the mexican version of eBay over here (I think they are actually associated) called MercadoLibre. From time to time, great deals like this one can be found there. Most of the time everything is overpriced, but this is proof that sometimes you can hit the jackpot!

Great find! You're right, (retro) stuff is really hard to find in Mexico and at the right price. To my knowledge there are no retro stores like GamexChange, People Play Games, Disc Replay etc

I don't remember the Turbo being on sale in Monterrey, I know it was sold in Mexico because of the TV commercials and that Nino Canun videogames special. Back then it was the SNES and the Genesis, and the Genesis just in the early part of the 90s.

No pics, but I had to return some stuff to a GS near me and grabbed a couple things. Some PSP games (the stand out was Ys Ark of Napishtim), another Wireless Logitech PS2 controller (my fav for the system!), a Memory card reader for the PS3, and a loose Time Ace for the DS.
 
Also went by my local media store and found Mass Effect 3 N7 Edition (360) for $12. It was complete with all the extra stuff, even like that embroidered patch, which was pretty awesome! Had to jump through some hoops though which was kind of lame.

First I bought it, and then they gave me discs for the regular version, so I asked them to check for the appropriate discs and they went back and said they couldn't find them and offered to refund me. I was pretty sure they had the discs and some employee just wanted it for themselves so I said I'd take it with the regular discs. I went back the next day and said "hey, I got the wrong discs for this game when I bought it yesterday, can you check if the right ones are in the back?" Of course they were in there and I got them swapped out nicely.

You will not be disappointed. Such a great game (multi-player and solo game). Sure, it's not always super-challenging, but it is fun as heck. (http://junk.tg-16.com/images/pcgs.png)

AND, I like the soundtrack...it's a very nice: refreshing.

Anyway, money well spent. (http://junk.tg-16.com/images/pcgs.png)

Im not sure what it translates to, but im pretty sure its stating there is a D-pad attachment that is included. Basically it attaches to the analog stick and looks like a D-pad on something like a SNES controller. I think thats what that sticker means, i could be wrong

April 18th chall forever be known in my house as "Dia de Los Neo Geos." 

Received 3 packages yesterday, all of which I've been anxiously anticipating.

(http://www.jibbajaba.com/images/misc/diadelosneogeos.jpg)

Package 1: CMVS (w/ power supply and RGB cable) from Xian Xi.  Unibios 3.1, stereo mod, battery mod.  Got a nice deal on it because I didn't need a video encoder board since I only play on a PVM. 

Package 2: 2 Neo controllers from a buddy of mine.  Traded him for some custom Xbox controllers that I made a while back.

Package 3: This is the one that I was really worried about.  I broke one of the cardinal rules of Craigslist.  I did a non-local deal.  Found a guy down in LA selling some MVS games, one of which was NTM (my most wanted game).  So I figured I'd e-mail the guy and feel him out.  Anyway, the deal went smoothly and I got my games.  NTM looks practically brand new, and more importantly isn't a boot.


(http://www.jibbajaba.com/images/misc/sanwaed.JPG)

The AES stick already got SANWA'ED!  New buttons (obviously) and a new ball top.  HUGE improvement.  Eventually I want an AI stick, but this stick is great for now.

I have all of these.  If you're looking for more hit me up.  I'll give you a good deal.  I have about 800 comics (DC/Marvel/Image) stored, backed, and bagged.

Like boxes and boxes of toddler clothes that your kids wore once then outgrew so your wife stores them in the spare bedroom for that day when someone she knows has a baby boy?  Like two Britax child/baby restrain systems worth $300 a piece taking up the entire back seat of your common 4 cylinder SUV with expiry dates that will make them illegal to sell by the time they are no longer needed.

I've been busy, so I haven't posted here in a while. Anyhow, just picked up some stuff. I got the Shin Megami Tensei a while ago, and upon playing it recently I saw that it takes up nearly all of the save memory. So, finally decided to buy a MemoryBase 128. I already had a bunch of games that supported it, so why not? It serves its purpose well, and definitely saves you from lots of TenNoKoe bank swapping!

I also picked up Private Eye Doll the other day too, and noticed that it has one amazing feature - it lets you use your MemoryBase 128 as a MASSIVE TenNoKoe Bank. That's freakin cool! I'll start a thread about it.

Is the memory base compatible w/ US games?  That thing is pretty rad.
Title: Re: teh "what did you buy today"-thread
Post by: grahf on April 22, 2013, 03:29:09 AM
Mathius got it, it's Shin Megami Tensei.
I would imagine that the Memory Base would work fine with US systems, but maybe someone can confirm. It only works with games that have been specifically made to use it, and that list is pretty small.

Just got this in the mail:

I paid about $13 for each game which isn't too shabby. 

Now story time.  Every since I got into the turbo playing CD's was my mostly holy grail of all things.  When I saw  the ebay pricing I wondered how I woud ever be able to afford a Duo or CD player.  The game that I most wanted to play was Fighting Street.  I was obsessed with getting the ability to play CD's then getting Fighting street.  A while ago I picked up a PCE Duo and there issues with it until only a few months ago.  I finally got the Duo up and running perfectly.  Today I fulfill my goal of playing Fighting Street.

And boy does it suck... :lol:

Sorry for the crappy cell phone pics.  My real camera isn't at home right now.  Here are a few close up pics.

(http://risemedia.org/risemedia/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/2013-04-23-15.29.13.jpg)

My Turbo Express has been away for some mod work for awhile so I've been looking into Game Boy / Color / Advance games to feed the handheld hunger.  Top right is Sigma Star Saga.  Below that is Monster Rancher Advance 2.  Below that is Bomberman Max 2: Blue. To the left is Advance Wars 2. And finally to the left of that is Mario Tennis.  I was hoping Mario Tennis would be one of the few GBC games that would run on the Super Game Boy, but it doesn't.

Astro Warrior was included in my original Sega Master System bitd and I've had a hankering to play it again recently.  It hasn't disappointed.  

(http://risemedia.org/risemedia/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/2013-04-23-15.30.54.jpg)

I also found this Game Boy game at a local used-stuff shop.  It's fun.  Very old-school. :D

I've had this game since it came out and never beat one scenario. Apparently I kept screwing myself with the way I would level up. You level up with stats instead of levels, much like Final Fantasy 2 JP. The Hit Point and Life Points system is what would get me. I would level up a character like when playing Rogue or Blue's scenario, get far, and always die at the final/or later battles. I kept getting killed in two turns or so, resurrect my characters and then run out of Life Points, die again and game over. Seriously, how is it that they would make a game where if you level up too much in a certain way, you will never win?!?!? WTF dude???

Anywho, the game has amazing graphics, sound and just overall atmosphere to it. I guess I will give it another go and just do what they say on Gamefaqs and make a character that can do all of those wrestling like chain moves when not equipped with a weapon.

Dragon Spirit for my PCE came in today. I certainly think it was worth the wait. It takes so damn long to ship anything from Asia.

I bought New Adventure Island (or whatever the Japanese name of it is called) today and it's on it's way from California, so hopefully it won't take nearly as long.

By the ways does anyone else find it needlessly confusing that Dragon's Curse is called Adventure Island? I mean yeah it's related to it in a way, but when this "new" one is around you'd think it would be some kind of sequel or remake to that one!  ](*,)

ALSO: watch GAMESACK on youtube, it is quite well done, one of the best out there on retro gaming.

I actually found that video today when I got curious about it. (I agree, seems like a great show. I'll have to watch more.) but they didn't mention how/why Dragon's Curse was called Adventure Island in Japan, which in the grand scheme of things just makes this already complicated relationship between the two series even more so.

We can only be thankful that the same didn't happen with Mario and Doki Doki Panic...

The Goodwills' around these parts has gotten very greedy with pricing. I saw a Genesis (model1) with controller, RF, and AC at one and they had a $40 price tag on it. I asked the lady at the register what was up with the hefty price tag and she told me it was what "these things" go for now. I don't bother with Goodwill much anymore.

Finally got one of my most wanted PCE games today. Really looking forward to playing this one. A big thanks goes out to Bardoly. You were awesome to work with, and i hope we have some future transactions.

Yesterday was a lucky day for me. I pumped my gas and stopped exactly at $30 (the amount i wanted to put in the tank) I found these games for real cheap. I have been looking for "A boy and is blob" for awhile now. Its funny because earlier that day i was watching the ep on Game Sack where they discuss gaming on a budget, and they talked about "A boy and his blob" Then i got even luckier when the g/f gave me the lovin. ( I probably could have left that last part out)

The latest batch (all eBay photos; they're en-route right now). First item is the JP Laserdisc playthrough of Outrun. Sega released a whole bunch of these (Super Hang-On, Outrun, Space Harrier, etc) around the System-16 era and they're hard to find...paid a bit more than I wanted but this is definitely the grail of my OutRun collection.

Got a decent deal on L-Dis and Super Genjin.

What were the other toys of the 80's where the figures almost looked like CP, but smaller and had magnetic feet?  Had a bunch of those too.

One other toy set that got tossed were my entire collection of Mattel food fighters. Had 'em all with boxes and everything. Bought them from a clearance shelf for about $30 total. The frying pan, the bus, the grill, all the foodies, and more I don't remember.

Got in Takahashi Meijin no Whatjamacallit and a fresh in-box 5-way MultiTap! Came with all the inserts and everything!

And interestingly enough, the tap may have unlocked a potentially unexplored secret within Takahashi...   8-[

EDIT: Actually, it just looks like an issue with my extension cord. Still, wicked.

Ya $15 is a good price but once you find out the charger and the battery that did not come with it will run ya close to $150 you stop smiling.

Going to get a motorbike battery or an after market one for this thing as the kids are waiting with there helmets on. :(

That's pretty tight! Are they "glued" to the cases? do you display them at all?



No, the magnets are not glued to the metal tins. They just come packaged in them.

They will be displayed once I install the SPONTAN (http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/10159443/) board (a piece of metal that can be hung on a wall like a picture frame) in my game room :D

Bought 5 copies of the Kickstarter version of Class of Heroes 2 for PSP. If anyone needs help in purchasing one, PM me. You need to have backed their original Kickstarter last year, as they cross-check the email/name used. $60 shipped to your address. Probably under 3000 copies will be produced of the regular and kickstarter versions.

Differences between the two are the UMD art, case, and manual.

MrPie:  I just got back from Disney with my gf.  while on the Little Mermaid ride I realized I hadn't played the game in years.  I talked it up to her and picked up the loosie copy yesterday.  Hopefully it is as good as I remember.

Don't worry it's still a great game after all these years.

You need to have backed their original Kickstarter last year, as they cross-check the email/name used. $60 shipped to your address. Probably under 3000 copies will be produced of the regular and kickstarter versions.

40% profit, eh?  I think I'll stick with the regular version.  :roll:

its awesom. most people play 30 seconds and give up but once you learn what to do and play through it its a lot of fun and really fast paced game. key is this- avoid almost all the enemies except the ones you know give you health and power. a big part is learning where to go though but theres a nice guide on gamefaqs.

I played the ROM for about 30 seconds and thought it might have some sneaky fun in it.
So I grabbed it with low expectations (that's what she said), but also for the legend of it all.

As far as I know, the PCE uses 8-Pin Serial Mini-DIN ports that were common on most computers at the time. The plain ol' Turbo (not Duo) controller ports used the standard sized 8-Pin Serial DIN ports. (Someone correct me on this if I'm wrong.) So I'd imagine if you just found a mini to not mini adapter, you'd be all set. Don't buy something specifically labled PCE to TG16 adapter, as those are normally overpriced.

That is correct, you need a mini-din to din converter. I think one of the forum members was making these but I can't remember who it was. Most people tend to get a PC Engine/Duo/R/RX and have it region modded since it has a mini-din plug which is compatible with more controllers than the TG16's din plug (Turbo Pad, Turbo Stick, and maybe a third party controller or two).

I just found this quote from another member..."If you have a duo controller and a turbo controller you can simply open them up and swap their cords.  There's no soldering required, the cords are plugged into the controller pcbs so you just unplug one and plug it into the next.  I did this with a avenue 6 pad for the Pc Engine so I could play Street Fighter II on my Turbo CD."

The Goodwill that I hit on the way home from work had a Super Mario / Duck Hunt combo cart for sale. Price? $9.99. Safe to say that Goodwill in the Milwaukee area is officially dead across the board. You never see anything anymore except for 300 copies of Guitar Hero.

I have a really funny story about Cadash.  When I was a kid I used to play the arcade version of Cadash at the local Zellers.  My mom would sometimes give me a quarter to play it while she was in line.  I loved it!  Fast forward to a year ago.  I wanted to find out what the name of the games was as I forgotten it over the years.  I remembered it had a ninja who threw triangles, a guy with a crossbow that shot a chain with a ball on the end and featured a giant octopus as a boss.  As you can tell I had a few details wrong.  I posted this description in the net but nobody could help me. 

I was watching LP's on YouTube and Cadash came up as a suggested video.  I watched it and I flipped out!  I had found the game.  On top of that the best port was for the Turbo (Genesis version was crap)  I went down to my local retro store who I knew had a copy I had passed by many times and bought it for a cool $20 CIC.  I was the happiest person that day.

I got the game who and played it right through beating the game using my favorite character the Ninja.  Best Turbo day EVER!!! :D

The most gaming stuff I've found at any of the Goodwills here in Abilene have had was a few Tengen Genesis Turbo pads... and a pretty sweet College Football VHS Board Game.

Got this stuff last Sunday where I met the infamous Sparky and Evilplayground amongst others!  A great day with a really great vibe.  Some awesome deals to be had.  My score of the day?  I consider it the CIB Blaster Master.  Very proud of that one.  :)  Rayxanber III was another one I was happy to get.  Also got me a prestine copy of Mega Man 2 (that's just the flash on the label).  BTW, the magnets are just as awesome as they look!

A tough game indeed but if you have a controller with turbo and slow mo (or you can multitask by pausing and unpausing rapidly) then you can make short work of the bosses (they take extra damage when hit by a grenade if you pause the game). If you know how to navigate through the cave, it takes a little over an hour to beat so there isn't really a need for a save feature.

It took many many attempts before I was able to navigate through the caves without thinking.  The end boss battles always sent me back to the start.  It drove me crazy knowing I was on the doorstep of completing this game multiple times only to have to start all over.  I wasn't aware of the pause/grenade cheat.  You could have saved me a lot of hours back as a teenager.

You have a choice of LITE JAZZ Red Book or chiptunes with Vasteel. Both options are nice for a game like Vasteel (playing long sessions...you don't want to get sick of the music instantly).

20 Star Wars Audio Books.  f*ck YEAH! Cassette Tapes.
And another album for my wall

I have a couple of the original BBC radio dramas based off the original trilogy and they are awesome.  A fair amount of the original cast was brought back to voice their characters, and most of the alternates are really good.  Lots of back story was added to the radio drama, which really fleshes out the story, imo.

Tats: How's that Night Striker for PS1? We used to have that arcade machine at our local Aladdin's Castle (the sit-down version - right next to a multi-screen Ninja Warriors). Such a badass game. Been trying to track down the Saturn and Mega CD versions but they're a little on the spendy-side.

I think it is similar to the saturn version, and as I was told it runs on 30fps. the arcade was 60fps. beside of that, it should be arcade faithful.

the MCD version is a huge pile of liquid cow crap compared. sheer unplayable if you ask me.

:edit:

found this:

Quote
Night Striker later received a nearly perfect port to the Playstation in 1995. But nearly a year later in 1996, Ving published an enhanced version called Night Striker S on the Saturn. It's also an exact replication of the arcade game, although it features a new CG intro movie and a special Saturn-only mode. It contains a bonus mode with six exclusive levels, although there aren't any branching paths, so it's pretty short. It's not enhanced graphically in any way either, which is a little disappointing. Furthermore, neither of the 32-bit versions feature the arranged music - you're stuck with the original arcade synth, which seems like an annoying oversight considering how much space is left on the CD. Still, it's definitely the best way to experience this overlooked gem.

Tats, there is only one game worth owning a 3DO for just to play it. That game is Star Control 2. It is epic in every sense and a true classic. If you can't source a copy in Japan I will help you get an American copy. There is zero region protection on the 3DO. Take Beamer's and my word for it. Do not part this world without experiencing this game.

It's just a "Super Play" laserdisc - someone playing through the game. Sounds silly but I can see where back in the day it was amazing to see the arcade game in LD quality on your home TV. This disc was dated 1987. I'm trying to track down the other ones (Super Hang-On, Space Harrier, a few others) but they rarely come up for auction at any semblance of a reasonable price. Got this one for $36.

I believe there are some extras on it, but I won't know until I play it. Couldn't find a video of it on YouTube (Retro Realities' YouTube channel has a bunch of these long play discs you can watch in their entirety).

It's for any LD player. There isn't really anything interactive on these discs.

I giggled at this.  I've done this several times, thrown in a bid you thought was dirt cheap and where you never think you have a shot at winning, yet you do. Although pleased at the good bargain, you think to yourself "shit, I really didn't think it would sell that cheap"!

Who cares?

I bought them with the full understanding of what they were, as well the full understanding that a bootleg plays in my system (in this particular case) just as well as a non-boot.

I bought them with the full understanding of what they were, as well the full understanding that a bootleg plays in my system (in this particular case) just as well as a non-boot. They work, I can play the games. What difference does it make to you if they are not VGA-sealed-forever-in-a-plastic-box-on-a-shelf worthy?

Well yeah that was pretty retarded and overly defensive. I'm the guy raffling away a Sapphire boot, you think I care about the morals of you buying the stuff? The main reason why I asked was because the Atomiswave bootleg stuff last I heard was buggy as f*ck all. Unless the bootleggers ironed out all the bugs I don't see why anyone would want to drop serious money down on the stuff yet.

I've only heard of one or two minor graphical glitches in the Atomiswave boots. I have a couple and they play perfectly.

Ugh. An attack of stupid AND overly tired...batting 1.000 here. Lol, not only did I come across as an utter jerk before, I also completely missed the main point/question you were trying to make/ask. Sigh. Lesson to me, I suppose.

Now that I am more awake and less 'just coming from work', I  can address the concerns you brought up a bit better. Like Punkic said, the few issues that do come up nowadays are actually relatively minor. I have seen a couple of the mentioned graphical glitches, and I think I recall a sound oddity in the copy of Neowave I last played, but that was about it. As for big money...not going to happen. When I come at games purely from the angle of purchasing for gaming use, I tend to look for gaming price as well. On that note, I do not believe that any of those cost me more than $40 or $50 + shipping, with several being a bit less than that. I can easily stomach pricepoints at that level for boots as long as they are still reasonably close to the originals, which most AW carts seem to be.  Hope this answered any concerns you had, and again, my apologies for the previous post.

No to the SuperGun, actually. I tend to be an odd bird when it comes to what goes on the shelf space under my tv and SG's just bug me for some reason, so I have gone for full consolized systems. They cost more, of course, but my wires-and-componenents-in-their-place OCD is appeased. If you are interested in acquiring an SG (or a consolized system), you could do far, far worse than checking in with James over at http://www.jamma-nation-x.com/jammax/ His quality is top notch, and he will definitely steer you in the right direction based on your actual needs.

Stopped at a cool game store not far from me and snagged a complete Virtua Racing for the Genny and a Gyromite converter cart from a collectibles store in the mall. Almost grabbed one of those nice Sega brand Genesis 3 button arcade sticks, but wasn't sure if $10 was a good deal for it or not.

Well if that's the case, perhaps I'll grab it next time I'm up there. Never used one, but heard good things about them. The android tab wound up going back. Damn thing started freezing up a lot and something didnt seem right with the browser. Wouldn't always register taps on the screen. A shame since it seemed really nice at first.

So far I'd pretty much have to agree with you. (But I really like the pinball games, so it's a touch call...) I like how open world it is despite being a 2D platformer. I haven't played any of the Wonder Boy games besides the first one. (Thank you, other game called Adventure Island.)
Btw, how do I get those "?" Items in the shops? I can't seem to buy them even if I have enough gold.

Fear for your soul my friend...I didn't think it was possible but AES prices have actually gotten WORSE in the past year. Even my top-secret AES new-old-stock resource online has jacked up the most basic games to $50-90 a piece.

Still think neo-geo.com forums are probably the best source but I haven't ventured back there in ages. Flame war central.

I was lurking around there a while back. They're too busy hacking the Neo-Geo X right now... and occasionally flame warring over the ethics of that.

Occasionally great deals can be had on N-G from people getting out of collecting. I've gotten some rock bottom prices for AES games relative to the going prices. You just have to be very patient and vigilant of the sales threads.

There's deals to be had there still.Though i haven't bought a game for my cmvs in quite a few years at least  :oops: Still i hear it's pretty bad now getting a good deal for the aes on ebay for how much,it's getting flooded with boots now.

Stopped in at the local thrift shop this morning and walked out with a Sega 6 button arcade stick for Genny still in the box with a bonus Genny 2 RF unit, a 30gb iPod photo in good condition loaded to the brim with songs, and 3 X-Com PC games (UFO Defense, Terror from the Deep, and Interceptor) for $10. Picked the right day to stop in cause I was told the arcade stick and iPod were just put out today.

Wow, that can't have been cheap; congrats on it though!  Does it have all the little pack ins and everything?  The one I found locally a couple years ago had the UPC cut out of it as well, but the price was too good to pass up.

Agreed on the PCE CD and Master System. My bads. To be honest, the Genesis just doesn't get much love from me anymore. Sure I can't go a year without playing Strider, SOR2, and a select few others. Maybe it's the video quality that does it. My Genesis is out getting an S-Video mod at this very moment. I am betting that will change my mind as my Master System has been FM and S-Vid modded. I have an entirely different view on the SMS since I had that done.

But as great as the SMS is having a Saturn with region switching is the premier Sega console to own. I have had more fun with the Saturn since I got back into gaming than any other system Sega has released. :)

I agree.  Before I joined these forums (which not only got me expanding my library of Obey, but all of my older consoles) I had hardly given my Saturn a second thought. But it's been played an awful lot over the past few years.  So glad I never got rid of it.  It such a shame that there are so few, good, cheap US titles.

However, I have also been playing a lot of Dreamcast lately also.  Y'know what?  You really can't go wrong with any Sega console.  They all have their gems.


I ordered a loose Populous HuCARD today. :)  I found a loose SNES Populous cart in my office this morning and with all the recent chatter here, figured I'd pick the PC Engine version up while it's still dirt cheap.  (Thanks to Joshua for posting his Populous video on yt which I can't find anymore)

Then you'll probably feel the same way about your Genesis when I get through with it, S-video on the Genesis looks very nice, fairly close to RGB IMO.

I still have many other consoles (NES, Genesis/Sega CD, SMS, PS1, Nintendo DS and my PCE Duo-R with malfunctioning controller port), they're still down in Virginia. When I moved to New Jersey, I just took just that select few because I wasn't sure how much room my new place would have (they wouldn't have fit in my car anyway with all the other necessities)

Last haul before I check myself into rehab...taking a purchasing hiatus until VGS. It's getting ridiculous.

(http://www.lewisjeff.com/temp/games-may-2013-final.jpg)

-Wonderboy in Monster Land: I bought this one just to get the manual, which is the FINAL piece of my complete NTSC Sega Master System collection. Woohoo! Also, it came with the official Sega tips hotline printout for the game; nice little piece of memorabilia.
-Segata Sanshirou Shinken Yuugi: Nice Saturn kusoge. The game honestly is shit but I throw my $$$ at anything with Segata Sanshiro on it
-Super Dodgeball Advance: Spiritual successor to the Kunio dodgeball games - complete in box
-The Super Spy: Probably my last AES purchase unless I win the lottery. It came factory-sealed, which I promptly took care of. Minty fresh!

I loved the PS1.  I've been going back and playing a few old games on my PSP lately.  Suikoden, Symphony of the Night, Chrono Cross.  They worst thing about it is that polygons were all the rage and new technology and didn't hold up very well to the years.  Put in FF7 and you can count how many polygons make up Cloud.

Oh yeah. PS1 has about equally exclusive 2D stuff to offer. And those who came out on both (mostly shoot'em ups) are a mixed bag. some of em are better on the PS1 some on SS. As a rule, ST-V stuff and beat 'em ups (those who take advantage of the 4MB ext. cartridge) that came out on both are better on the SS by a majority. But there's stuff like Donpachi, Dodonpachi, kaitei daisensou etc. which is again better on the PS1.

Also here some notable must haves exclusives shewties on PS1:

Gradius Gaiden 5/5
Harmful Park 5/5
Raiden DX 5/5
R-Types 5/5
Toaplan Shooting Battle 1 5/5
Zanac X Zanac 5/5

2.5D:
R-Type Delta 3/5
Einhander 3/5

Sure there are tons of other 2D games in the platformer, puzzle, party fun, guncon (light gun) etc. category.
Title: Re: teh "what did you buy today"-thread
Post by: SuperDeadite on May 27, 2013, 02:51:09 PM
donpachi is better on ps1.  but dodonpachi is a toss up.  ps1 has better looking explosions, but have to select your ship in the options menu, and both players have to be the same ship.   Saturn version in tate, has the proper ship selection screen and is far closer to the "arcade experience", just has some very grainy explosions.

Yeah it was loved by the mass (its success speaks volumes), but always got hatered by the sega fanboys, anti-sony fraction etc.

I am no sony sympathizer, but as mentioned above, it got its fair share of excellent 2D games which makes it more than worth to collect for it.

hell, akumajou dracula x - gekka no yasokyoku (sotn) alone is worth having one. yeah that came out (quite later) on the SS as well, even with few extras thrown in, but the sloppy programing and downgraded grafx etc. making it quite a worse and not really fun to play port (at leastfor those who had experienced the real deal prior that).

there's a konami classics collection and a couple arcade compilations (XBLA) that are good, and Deathsmiles is another good shmup.
outside of that, 360 got the only US physical release of hokuto musou 2, which pissed me off, but it's a good game, i'm just mad that it's DLC only on PS3

Deathsmiles!  Awesome 2D horizonal shmup and should be found dirt cheap (I think I paid $15 for my copy not too long ago, and it was a Limited Edition that came with an Xbox 360 faceplate and soundtrack).

Also Castlevania: SOTN is a download and if you don't have the Playstation version, that's definitely worth picking up.

Most of my arcade compilations are for the PS2 (I like that controller more for old school stuff) but if they released Capcom Classics Collection or Taito Legends 2 for the 360, they're both chock full of goodness. Lots of Obey relatives.

I think the off-the-shelf isopropyl alcohol you can get at any drug store is about 75% (that what i currently have and I think I got it at CVS) but back when I was a laser printer tech, we special ordered 95% isopropyl alcohol.  I bet you could find it on ebay or amazon, though I don't know if it's really worth the effort. :)

Craigslist find of the year?

The Turbo is actually brand new with everything inside sealed up tight.  The Express needs caps. Will be adding quite a bit of these to my trade/sale thread hopefully within a few days once I get everything I want sorted out. Yey me!  :dance:
If I ever came across this much Turbob in the wild I'm sure I'd piss myself.  What's that game to the left of Godzilla?

After adding some items to your sales thread, maybe, just maybe you'll consider shipping to Canada?  Pretty please!  I'm still looking for a decently priced TurboExpress.

Good eye!  The lady I got it all didn't give me everything she had. She was moving out of state and only wanted to take with her games she still likes to play.  Which meant her keeping the gaming Turbo/CD and 3.0 card as well as a stack of games. She took my phone number in case she decides to sell more (which probably won't be happening as she is leaving the state).

That's the kind of lot I need to find to really boost my new PCE/Turbo collection! By the way, and it's cool if you don't want to disclose this, but how much did all that cost? Just curious.

Yes!! And...it's actually FUN lol. Seriously though, I was surprised at how decent of a port it was, and I'm pretty happy with it overall. Just wish the odds of stumbling across someone ELSE with a 'swan AND a copy of the game were a bit higher, so I could get in some link action :D

Stopped at a few yard sales yesterday and at one of them I found Asteroids for the 2600 as well as the following loose for the Genny:
Sports Talk Football '93
Ecco: Tides of Time x2
Mortal Kombat 2
Tecmo Super NBA Basketball
FIFA Int'l Soccer
Bulls vs Blazers
Bulls vs Lakers
All for $0.25 each. Some of the labels have seen better days, but they work. All except for one of the Ecco games. The case will make a good housing for a Mega Everdrive if I ever get one.

Picked up from my local thrift shop a complete copy of Metroid Prime for GC for $0.50 and a working external DVD-R DL burner for $5. I can finally read and write discs with my netbook PC. :dance:

Got all the above for $40.  All the games are in almost new condition even the baggys.  Obviously never played.  This is an older snes as my model 1.0 game genie does work with it.  The only thing is that my newer model 1 SNES HAS A VERY VLEAR PICTURE.  This new one has this subtle red grid all over the screen.  No idea why.


UPDATE!!!!!  That red grid goes away when I unplug my Genesis and sega cd from the power strip.  Even off I guess the pull is enough.  Gotta keep things unplugged unless in use.

Random Power adatper (24V 180mA, wot?!)

23 CIB Saturn Games, 1 in case missing manual, 2 Loose games, and some AOL trial CD from the 90s.

There's a lot of junk sports games in there, but also some gems.  Extra bonus is that most of the cases are in good shape too!

Apologies for the crappy pic quality, I pulled it straight from the CL ad since I didn't want to to take a picture myself.   :3

Got a chance to go through it all this weekend and a lot of the games even still have their mega foam, plus I don't dare remove the GameShark but it works like a champ still.  Booted up a little Dark Seed and Madou to test the import capabilities. 

Hilariously, this is the second Saturn I've gotten where the owner never removed the pull tab on the back and the OEM battery is still in there, the circuit is complete now and the original battery from the 90s still works!

Yes!  I've been holding out to find it under $35 shipped, which has been getting increasingly harder lately.

A nice condition Somer Assault shipped under $40 is my next mission.

loose carts are usually in the 10,000yen range.  cibbler is le 30,000 from the usual suspects.

This is a top 5 non-US release game for sure.  When the repro is put in a famicom via an adapter, does it output with the extra sound capabilities?

I wouldn't know the one i bought is the standard edition.Timewalkgames offer also the full version also,but if you play it on a nes it must be modded for the music to work.

I can... sorta.

I assume you're talking about one of those in-cart bridge adapters that you can re-purpose into an all-purpose Famicom adaptor? I know that when you play games like Lagrange Point and Castlevania III through that adaptor, you won't hear any sounds from those chips. (you'll still get whatever the NES's internal chip is putting out, which isn't much)

Long story short, it won't work because the console's insides are different. While the Famicom's pinout has 2 pins for external audio, the NES's pinout does not. External sound cards were planned for the NES expansion port, and there are pins for that, but since they never made those... well there ya go.

I hear those repros are rumored to have workarounds for that issue, and I did see some further mods to adaptors that essentially create an auxiliary port for that sound. Pretty neat stuff, but tough to make from what I hear.

EDIT: Oh crap, I noticed you were talking about going the other way around, NES into Famicom... well it should be about the same story.

I guess it just depends whether the booters used the same chipset as the original FC version did, or not. Did they also use the FC rom, or a rom from the unreleased oversea version? This might also be an important factor.

I got the privileged to see one of if not my favorite musician this past Wednesday in LA. Bjork and the show was just amazing. I have never really seen anything quite like it. Truly she is an artist. I wish i could travel the world watching her preform.

On to the games. Have to say thanks to Bardoly and thanks to Bernie for the lot of these awesome games. Can't wait to start playing them (once i can step away from dark souls). I also picked up the Wii games and PSP game while i was in LA.

Bought from Yahoo Japan!  A 1 Slot MV-1F Neo Geo MVS unit with Unibios 2.3 already installed. 

Also came with the following games:
Power Spikes 2, KOF 99, World Heroes 2 JET, Art of Fighting, Some Mahjong game, and Magical Drop 3

I got a steal of a deal on this even after shipping from overseas, and plugged it into my cabinet over the weekend to mess around with.  Unfortunately my cab is stock jamma and I don't have switches for the 4th button, but that's not a major deal for now and I'll try to customize it a bit.


Also got my updated PS3 from chop5 but haven't had a chance to mess with it yet.  Infants take up like all the time and I was barely able to get this in my cabinet to play with.

$20 for Ghost Manor & $15 for Night Creatures from Game Deals in New Westminster.  They have some decent Turbobs in the shop, fewer now that those 2 are gone.
Down the street was the Vancouver Retro Gaming Expo which was the reason I went to New West in the first place.  There was one table on which everything was $5 and that's where I picked up the PCE TV tuner, Cratermaze, Cosmic Fantasy 2 and World Heroes 2.  I couldn't believe it.  The GTAs and SSX were $5 also but from a different vendor.

I played the tar out of the original DS Animal Crossing. Way fun. Have they updated the game in any significant ways? I was always hoping for more "goals".

Well, the cover art is nice, but it's probably a Pachinko simulator (with HR Giger-inspired high-score screens).

Well you are the mayor of the town this time around. I have been purposely avoiding information for the game, and im only a few hours in, but i to have not really played AC since the DS. I'm having alot of fun so far, and the whole mayor thing looks like it will add a lot more content

I assume you've heard of "Dead of the Brain," no?  Well anyways:
Nightmare Collection #1 = Dead of the Brain
#2 = Marine Philt
#3 = Dead of the Brain Part II

So yes, basically Dead of the Brain crossed with Aliens.  It's extremely gory with amazing pixel art.  And unlike DotB, this one actually has mouse controlled shooting scenes.  Sadly only released on FM Towns and PC-98.

You lucky duck! I've been eagerly awaiting this one myself. I get motion sickness from certain games and the preview videos of it were gettin' me pretty good so I hope that doesn't happen when I finally get a chance to play it. It looks great.

They posted pics of that guy somewhere (maybe the Neo Geo forums, maybe he posted them himself???) of him completely naked with AES games between his legs hiding his genitals. On some pics you could even see his pubes peeking out from behind the box. If I ever got any games from him I'd have to let them soak in a pool of 96% isopropyl alcohol for a few weeks. I've seen this video before but this version is so full of compression artifacts that I can't make out what a lot of the games are (I don't memorize Neo Geo box art).

No pics sadly but today I got my super sexy modded Genesis.

I'm pretty sure it has ever mod done to it possible.  It has built in stereo A/V, S-Video, region mod for European and Jappenense mega drive (widen cart slot of course done very neatly), additional red led on the sides, a light up blue led cart slot and the ability to over clock it to 10 mhz.

I have never seen Genesis games look this good ever!

Truly this is the king of kings of Genesis (genesi?)

Because it has been modded to accept S-Video output which makes the picture look a lot better than using the RF or A/V.

yeah, but regular genesises are capable of RGB output ex-work, aren't they? so a s-vid mod would clearly be a down-grade in video output quality, since pure RGB is le top of le top (sure the RGB quality still may bit vary on the used circuit & parts etc.)

Yeah, RGB/Scart is the best video quality possible for Sega Genesis.

He's probably like me and doesn't have access to an RGB capable monitor. In my case S-Video would be the best picture possible aside from a full component mod.

I'm running a 27" CRT T.V from the 90's.  S-Video is as best as it gets for me :)

Once you start using S-Video and then in my case RGB on a MD or a SNES, you start to see dithering.  Every one in a while I hook ip these consoles via RF to an old CRT just to see how it used to be.  I can't believe we thought it looked good however the NES has great RF out for some reason (as opposed to say a TG16 or Jaguar which ruined everything.)

Just do what I did.  Make sure your NEO GEO AES has a sub 100,000 serial number as they have superior RGB.  Purchase a SCART lead.  Purchase a SCART TO Component converter.  Use a headphone jack to Stereo RCA,


There, that simple.  Perfect pure RGB.

Do the same for a Model 1 MD.  However not having Unibios on a NEO GEO is kinda sucky.

This thing is practically brand new, I can't see a single scratch on any of it considering it was sold as preowned, and all the goodies are packed in there. I think the only thing I'm missing would be baggies for the hardware, but I can live without that

Just got my Genesis back from being S-Video modded. As stated, a lot of games show a lot more dithering as apposed to composite/RF. But, I'll take the dithering over smug anytime.

What about the vertical jailbars running across the screen? Even on my my TMSS Genesis 1 I see it... which is the model without rainbow banding BTW. This is why I really am just gonna go ahead and RGB SCART to Component convert my consoles. I dunno, it just seems too noticeable to me. Still, miles ahead of the composite and older S-Video mod before Xian Xi (Jamma Nation X's) revised color corrected mod.

No jail bars on any of my consoles via SCART.  My snes has the infamous center bar via S-Video.  My Duo R has a series of bars and rainbowing while moving.  There is a serious jump in quality from S-Video to SCART.

I make a similar trek milage wise every day and half. it works out to about 5-6 gallons of gas.  Gas round these parts is had for as cheap as $3.15 but most of the state will costs around $3.35 right now. so figure around $20-25$ for a trek like that.  This last week I roughly spent $100 to travel just over 450 miles.  Granted I get slightly better gas milage than it sounds the evo gets.

***UPDATE****


I just drive to the guys house to get this stuff and he gave it to me for FREE.  He dealt bad how far I drove which was a 120 mile round trip.  SCORE!!!!


That's awesome!

But I have to ask how much did a 120 mile trek cost you in gas?


The car gets 25MPG plus two hours round trip so call it six gallons at $3.25 a gallon so using elementary math it has to be well over $200, easily.  Wait a minute....

yes it is quite true but i think that has more to do with a change in lifestyle and the smoking ban rather than price.

Like some others here, I just received some games from Jasonbar, here on PCEFX. One of these I just had to see for myself. And yes, it lives up to its reputation quite well.
Oh, and Gomola Speed is fantastic. This game should have come to the US. I'm not that far into it yet, but it is unique and controls surprisingly well. Can't wait to put in more time with this one.

Weren't there three versions of this game on the SNES?  The Sega CD version I am playing through looks great, but I still prefer the SOR series so far.  Maybe I need to try 2 player.

There is no official Final Fight CD "hard case". They were all released in a cardboard box. However all Sega CD manuals will fit perfectly in a normal Sega CD/Saturn long jewel case. If whisper turned that case around, you wouldn't see any artwork. You might be able to cut up the cardboard box to kind of fit the back, but the spines are still too thin to fit in the plastic cases.

Nice! Ys 7 is great. I just wish the Ys logo would still be there if they were put on a shelf alphabetically.

From an old friend who bought games planning to eventually get a Turbo, but never did. So instead he just gave these to me:

The game in the lower right is Dungeon Explorer II (US). Need case and manual (yeah I Know GOOD LUCK).

LOL.  I thought I might get some backlash.  I don't normally play fighting games, so for me this game was fantastic.  As a fighting game, I agree it's not the best but it has some great features and it's a great intro fighting game for noobs.  Some decent hidden finishing moves in the game too.

Isn't the game extremely difficult 1p v. cpu? I recall playing it again a couple of years ago and I couldn't manage to win a match. I probably didn't read the manual either though, so I wasn't all that clear on the controls.
Title: Re: teh "what did you buy today"-thread
Post by: MrFlutterPie on June 23, 2013, 02:58:58 PM
The CPU is super cheap in the fact that it will block 98% of every attack you will make.  It just gets frustrating and pointless pretty quick when you hit your opponent 12 times and only a single hit isn't blocked.

The game is indeed cheap so you have to be cheap back.  I enjoy using Larsen exclusively as he has very fast and powerful punches.  I've beaten the game without being beaten once.  The final boss is cheap but I just spam air kicks and dodge his wave attacks.  The game has depth, you have to learn every fighter.  Electra is by far the cheapest bitch but I've learned to block most of her attacks and then quick counter run away rinse and repeat.

Oddly enough, I never found the game felt cheap.  Like EvilEvoIX said, the game makes you learn every character.  Maybe that's why I always liked it.  You had to be good with all the characters, not just specialize with one.  I use to hate walking into the arcade to play Super Street Fighter II only to get my ass handed to me by someone that only ever used Ken or Ryu.

I've beaten the game with every single character.  I never did discover all the finishing moves.  It's been awhile, but I remeber this game having some pretty sick tunes for a fighting game.

I use to play as Trident quite often.  I had a Little Mermaid thing going back then.  LOL.

I like the concept of Target Earth and the actual gameplay isn't bad but I have to agree with you 100% that game is hard.  One solution I think is to larger ammo magazines.  Reloading after 20 shots of your basic machine gun sucks.

I bet Murumasa is better on the Vita than on the Wii because if I recall it was only 4:3 on the Wii. Too bad the Vita doesn't have video out capabilities. Also I would like it if the game itself was more linear. Running back and forth gets boring. That's a big box for a Vita game.

The 4:3 ratio wouldn't bother me too bad. I usually have the Wii hooked up to my 4:3 CRT so my VC games look closer to the real deal. Gotta have those scanlines.

I haven't had someone softmod my Wii because I am paranoid that I will accidentally "brick" the system. Maybe one day I will have it done. But, from what I can tell Neo Geo, Turbografx, SNES, Genesis, and NES games look fantastic through a component cable. I have Spinmaster downloaded onto the VC and sometimes I boot it up just to marvel at the colors.

Wii Ware games don't fare as well. La Mulana and games like it were clearly designed to be displayed on an HD TV.

You can always play Muramasa for the Wii on the Wii U. Thats what i Did. I truly love this game, and if i had the funds i would buy a PSVita just to experience all the new features. @Nectaris, make sure you play as both Kisuke and Momohime, im curious to see which character you feel has the over all better gameplay and story. I feel Momohime's story is much better.

The 4:3 ratio wouldn't bother me too bad. I usually have the Wii hooked up to my 4:3 CRT so my VC games look closer to the real deal. Gotta have those scanlines.

Soft modding isn't hard Matt. I did it myself, and if a moron like me can do it your good to go. :)

Count me as another moron that soft-modded my Wii with no issues.  After I did it, I bought a second Wii since I didn't want any of the system updates to wipe it out.  I have it hooked up to a Sony CRT and love it for NES and TG emulation.  I never tried SNES or Genny on it since I don't have the classic controller for all the buttons.

Bit of a catch up post here...
(http://smaman.files.wordpress.com/2013/06/img_0660-e1372539419487.jpg)

Finally got one of my hard drives that got fried a while back, so I got a fresh one (top left) to extract all the data onto. You might remember hearing me talk about two of them getting killed by a faulty power adapter. Well, here's the deal. Donor Drives LLC, the company I sent them in to get repaired, LOST one of them! They kept saying, "Oh we never received it." Even though I packed them both in the same box, and all of UPS's shipping manifests seem to say that there was no tampering with the package. So yeah, there's 500GB of data I'll never get back. Lesson here, besides don't experiment with old AC adaptors, is DON'T TRUST DONOR-DRIVES!! I'm not even going to link them since they don't even deserve the shred of PageRank they would get.

The big thing taking up most of this desk is the Project X Zone Limited Edition set! I went to GameStop to pick it up, didn't see any copies on the shelf, and so he handed me this one. Not sure if this was supposed to be a pre-order only thing but hey, I won't complain! It came with a sweet poster, art book, and OST (not pictured as it's still lodged in my car stereo.  =P~ )

Also pictured is my copy of Kato Chan & Ken Chan I got from TurboSwimbz's raffle. Got it a couple weeks back, and have been having a pretty good time with it since.

(http://74.243.140.53/gallery/plog-content/thumbs/wedoca-pics/console-collection/large/1358-img_20130629_233344.jpg)
Some random dude came into Lost Ark with some good stuffs, Supergrafx, bunch of imports and one of the r@res US CD's...but the owner already stashed it away in his personal collection. *note, price tags are not what I paid.


I ended up getting some more project cabs at the Outer Banks auction. This was a warehouse clean out sale, most everything had something wrong that the seller does not have time for or it would not be worth his time to repair:
(http://74.243.140.53/gallery/plog-content/thumbs/wedoca-pics/outer-banks-auction/large/1352-img_20130629_121326.jpg)
Generic Dynamo...it has the 6-button drilled CP under that gun game camo. It was in decent shape, I can always use a Dynamo.

(http://74.243.140.53/gallery/plog-content/thumbs/wedoca-pics/outer-banks-auction/large/1353-img_20130629_121336.jpg)
I could not tell if this was a 4-slot convert -> 2-slot, but it only has a 1-slot w/ But-A-Move in it now. Again, it was in good shape and I have a spare CRT in case this one does not work. I mainly wanted a Big Red since I'm getting tired of borrowing them from other ppl for cons (this is my 4th Neo "Big Red" I have purchased). No PSU, so I could not test.

(http://74.243.140.53/gallery/plog-content/thumbs/wedoca-pics/outer-banks-auction/large/1354-img_20130629_121508.jpg)
This little bugger was cute. Bigger than a cabaret but small enough to move it around with ease. I've been wanting a vert cab with 1p CP...this might fit the bill. I already have a buyer for the board.

I also scored two WORKING 29" MS9's...drop in replacement for one of my Versus. At $5 each, that is cheaper than a cap kit! I also got a MS2934 but the red is out on it...it's hi-res only, so I'll prolly use it for parts since I do not need anymore fixed freq CRT's.

Side Topic:  Does it matter if you play III first?  I bought 3 a few months ago and haven't played it yet other than to just toss it in and make sure the game worked.  Possible a stupid question, but is there a story?
Title: Re: teh "what did you buy today"-thread
Post by: SuperDeadite on July 01, 2013, 01:20:11 PM
There are no traditional story scenes.  But the games are true sequels.  The first game is the start of the resistance against the invaders and you free the earth.  Second game you are freeing the other planets.  And the third game you are on the offensive, actually attacking the enemy on their own ground and defeating them forever in the end.  (This is why Ray III uses the same color pallet for every stage).    During the Ray III credits it shows pics from all 3 games, but that's about it.

That is a very rare console, very limited numbers.  And quite huge.  If you can deal with the loading times its and epic console.  Be sure to enjoy the SS2 Re-arranged music, one of the main reasons to own a Neo Geo CD.  Strange I could never pull off finishing moves on a Neo Geo CD Japanese version.  I mean there was blood and all, but never could kill people.

Haven't tried it yet. I'm hoping its somewhat enjoyable. I have a high tolerance for TRON since I love the original. Hell, I even love the Wii battle grid game.

No, I'm in Colorado.  I just troll a lot of different YJA auctions, I got those at about 3000Y for the pair before shipping, it's the proxy fees that kill unless you get stuff in bulk.

I took a chance on a JP listing that had just the basic ISBN description of the book and no other information or pictures. I lucked out and it came sealed in the original packaging in mint condition.

The pictures are pretty but I need to find a translation, haha.

All this Power Drift talk had me remember Rad Mobile.

Anyone ever play this game?  It was a Sega arcade racing game where you sat down in a little car which moved around.

I used to play it all the time, mainly because I thought the windshield wipers looked incredible and I loved the dangling Sonic keychain.

Holy crap I have searching for the name of that game for 15 years now!  I used to play it at Chukie Cheese.  I remember getting pulled over and the cop comes out and bashes your hood.  Finally a 15 year mystery ends :D

I have been after GameWorks for years! I made a deal for one here but the guy never got back with me. All I really want it for is to play Power Drift.

get sega age for SS then :)

btw. nice thing that Gameworks vol. 1, except the f*cked up ferrari fark in outrun. for how much do they go now? got mine many years ago for around 50 bucks.

btw. nice socks xele :P

Got mine for 108 shipped. Last one I was bidding on went for 185. Shit's gettin' real.

The last I've seen up in akiba was 8000yen IIRC. So 108 shipped isn't a bad price at all :)

NICE! one of my favorite fighters, although I've heard that none of the console conversions do it justice.

If I were ever to get a Neo, that would be on the top of my list for sure. How much did you get it for?

Geeez the bonk 3 box looks fresh and new... It almost looks fake  :P

I was going to say the same thing.

Bardoly, are you putting these things in box protectors?  Not to sound like a collector, but that is a rare box/game and probably cost you a pretty penny.


Yes, I'm helping to keep videogameboxprotectors.com (http://www.videogameboxprotectors.com/) in business.   :P

I am already a major book reader with over 1,000 books in my personal library, so I kind of have a 'thing' for neat, orderly rectangular-shaped objects arranged alphabetically in a bookcase, so having my TurboGrafx-16 boxes in box protectors on a shelf seems to fulfill me somewhat.   8)

Doraemon is really a good game!  My sons and I really enjoy playing it, although they haven't been able to beat world 2 yet, and I haven't been able to defeat the final boss yet.   ](*,)

Just around $100 shipped, though I wound up having to pay a bit more for gas money to a buddy since I had to have it shipped to him due to the seller not being willing to ship to an APO an all others that WERE willing were quoting astronomical sums. Considering that it was a mint sealed copy that I got the joy of cracking open and installing fresh, I say worth it to me :)

Is there a Turbochip inside that Tonma box? That is one of the last US releases I want, though I doubt that will ever happen. Like always I am going to wait for a good deal to come my way.

Kyokyoku Tiger, like Tatsujin, has a soundtrack that is leagues better than its arcade parent. So, in essence, come for the shootie action, stay for the tunes. :)

My Tonma is complete in the box. I got that one from nectarsis. You got some great games too! Chase HQ is one of my favorite car games on the turbo, I think you will like that one. :)

I loved Chase HQ in the arcade and this is a great port. I was ready to throw my controller at the tv last time I played it though. I hate how quickly the game can throw your car into a ditch.

Post by: whisper2053 on July 21, 2013, 05:53:42 PM
Isuka's a fighter, not a beat 'em up. And yes, I have the GGI cart for my Atomiswave and know what you mean. Though it does get stick time (like all of my games), it is probably the least played out of the various arcade titles I have. Judgement is more of a Final Fight/SoR style game, but with the GG fighting engine buried in there so that the moves and combos systems are still intact. Plus, as a bonus, it has the full copy of Guilty Gear X2 Reload on the UMD as well. Score!

Ok, yeah...Judgement plays kind of like that. Hmm. I don't recall seeing a mode like that on the arcade cart. Going back now to check it out.

Yeah, frustration rings a bell. It's an interesting game I remember, beautifully pre-rendered backgrounds at parts, but I didn't enjoy it all that much. I recall that I cheated with a GameShark and maxed out all my characters cause I just wanted to breeze through it for the story, but the game dynamically adjusts the difficulty of the bosses in relation to your experience level I guess, so every boss I ever fought wound up having like 99,999 Max HP and what not which resulted in boss battles lasting like ~40 minutes or so!!! Hah!

Soundtrack has a bunch of remixes from Saturn games, but the samples used are pretty weak for most of what I listened too.  2 Disc set, the second disc looks like a demo from the EU I guess.  Weird to find in the US, but like I said, it was $4.

Here's the audio on YT someone else uploaded if anyone is interested:

I found and bought this BitD from a record store (remember those?). Yes, it is "weak" but you could also say down tempo or elevator music. I still think it's cool due to the fact it is Saturn related. Mine copy only had one disc, so you must have got the rares import :)

In the Tenchu case, was another disc, which I am guessing may be that action game where you run around an arena shooting the other enemies down. Forgot the name, but the disc has a red tone and a picture of a clown with sharp teeth. :P

Not sure. I imagine it is because our region doesn't put their (expensive) items on shopgoodwill.com so that helps to ensure they stay at the local stores.

Finally got everything I've been waiting on.  Shipping to Canada can be sooo painful sometimes.  Some of this is local buys (PC Engine), some eBay, some from my hometown flea market store.

Ha! Only 1-2 albums I don't know intimately.

The Flock of Seagulls album is good, by the way, and not commonly available on CD (well, last time I checked, which was a few years ago). Nice range of material (short pop songs, longer, more atmospheric synth, etc.)

Tatsujin/Truxton (do you know how many years it took for my brain to rewire the name of this game from Truxton to Tatsujin?) has kicked me in the face when I was on the ground. I haven't invested much time in it in years, but I remember SLOW PROGRESS; I know I'm in for some pain when I revisit it.

Accidentally launching a bomb in Tatsujin (something I've done) is so demoralizing—it's like flushing your phone down the toilet.

I think you have to loop Tatsujin 5 times to legitimately clear the game. I have looped Truxton once but couldn't sit through it any longer. Looping Tatsujin just once may be a dream that may never come true for me.

I used to have Drol for the Sega SG-1000 (I used to have a very large SG-1000 collection). You also had to loop that 5 times to win. What a wonderful and quirky game!  :mrgreen:

How is the extra sound from FDS games and others like Dracula 3? I am assuming you did the resistor audio mod asking this, lol.

I am really considering buying it instead of the Powerpak or the newer Powerpak coming out soon supposedly.

Thrift store finds.  I have never seen the RCA plug-in game before so took a chance on it for $2.

(http://www.dotsandloops.com/turbo/blade1.jpg)

(http://www.dotsandloops.com/turbo/rca1.jpg)

Some of the High(low)lights of the RCA plug-n-play...
The 1942 style shooter is actually quite fun, and the submarine game is a reverse space invaders where YOU attack from the top.
I thought the lighthouse pic was kind of neat, but it's just the intro to the lawn mowing game.
Battleship is quite playable and the Hang-On clone sucks.

None of the music jumped out at me. But I only tried the games that I took pics of. I'll need to pay more attention.

The shooter does have bosses and multiple stages. It really does play well.
Power ups too to make your gun a multi-shot, spread pea shooter.
As for the marble game, I didn't play it long, but you basically move the marble around the track and find checkpoints while avoiding obstacles. Physics aren't really there as its pretty easy to move the ball. It doesn't build much momentum.

I think when VMUS are originally shipped there is a little piece of plastic that prevents the circuit from being completed (and the battery from draining down) until it is pulled out.  The Saturn has a similar thing with a little piece of cloth to prevent the circuit.  I recently pulled the cloth out on one Saturn I got of Craigslist and the battery still worked!

MOAR POPPURU!

The interesting thing (and actually the main reason I bought a lot the games in this bundle) is that Popful Mail trial version Mega CD.  I'd never seen one for Popful before so I felt compelled to add it to my collection if I could.
I've got a third box coming in which has a lot more of the goodies I really wanted to play with first :D

I need to get set up for Jap Mega CD play. The art work and jewel cases is what we should have gotten over here instead of the long cases and sometimes uninspired artwork (Working Designs notwithstanding). Plus that may be the cheapest way for me to play Keio on original hardware (no CD-Rs).

Yeah, everything but the stuff with the spine cards out I won on a single lot.  The ones with spine cards out I bought someplace else.  I actually have a fairly large number of dupes at this point so if there is interest I'd be happy let some of them go, still need to go through them first to make sure everything looks okay. 

The only big issue is you can't play Mega CD on an unmodified Sega CD, you need a bios swap or like a multicart.

I got some new stuff from Japan yesterday, mainly Mega CDs!

MOAR POPPURU!

The interesting thing (and actually the main reason I bought a lot the games in this bundle) is that Popful Mail trial version Mega CD.  I'd never seen one for Popful before so I felt compelled to add it to my collection if I could.
I've got a third box coming in which has a lot more of the goodies I really wanted to play with first :D

Nice haul - i'm still lusting after that version of Night Striker (even though I know it's inferior to the Saturn port by a ton).

Did you get all of that in a lot?

Yeah, everything but the stuff with the spine cards out I won on a single lot.  The ones with spine cards out I bought someplace else.  I actually have a fairly large number of dupes at this point so if there is interest I'd be happy let some of them go, still need to go through them first to make sure everything looks okay. 

The only big issue is you can't play Mega CD on an unmodified Sega CD, you need a bios swap or like a multicart.

There are multicarts that enable multi-region play on a Sega CD?

The Everdrive allows you to load a Sega CD BIOS, it's a little flaky with some games but it works fine with most. It's necessary for me as I have an unmodded European Mega CD II and I can't use it without the Everdrive.

You can download the region free BIOS for use with the Everdrive and it will work fine. Might not work as well if you have a 32X attached, not sure. The region free BIOS, while it looks kind of glitchy as it's playing back on your screen, it probably better than loading a JP BIOS. But then again I've only tried it once or twice so my testimony isn't the best.

That's Rowdy Roddy Piper man!  I've seen this movie too, and it's ridiculous.  If you get a list of LDs definitely post!  I'm really only looking for anime ones like PunkicCyborg but obviously he's got dibs.  ;)

I did finally get my other box of goodies in, there was a couple LDs and nothing really to write home about except this!

Josh! I want that Ninja Turtles LD pronto! :shock:
Never knew they released them on laserdisc. Awesome pickups on the LD regardless.

As for me, I received my Hudson '93 music CD from ninjacastle on ebay last night. Not bad, but not overly impressive either. Great as a collectors item perhaps, but not for listening to. :roll:

First up, old school goodness MVS gets...

Next:

The KoF '94 cart came with the little mini-marquee, which was cool, and the final decals for my CMVS came in.

And lastly:

(http://imageshack.us/scaled/large/824/fokq.jpg)
A couple of Genny 6-button pads, a kickass 3-way scart switchbox, scart cable for my X'eye, some saturn/DC/PSP games, Dark Wizard for Sega CD, Wizardry V for pce, and a home-made backup RAM cart pcb for the X'eye.

A grand day :D


Edit: Finally got the decals squared away on the CMVS. Finished product:

I waited in line at a hotel for 30 minutes one time and that guy, Lloyd Kaufman, was in front of me.  We ended up having a pretty good conversation, he was surprisingly insightful about movies and we talked about how his wife was the head of the NY Film Commission.

Anyway, you need to check out the original Class of Nuke Em High if you like Toxic Avenger.  It is one of my favorite teen movies of all time...  cause "you gotta stop crammin, and you gotta start rammin'"

I remember finding a perfect condition GBA that was packaged with a calculator and sticky notes at a thrift store.  It was on the "office supply" rack for 99 cents.
Your find is way better. Congrats!

I just snagged this on ebay

I cleaned it up and took the price sticker off asap so it wouldn't get residue on the label, but here are the after pics:

I try to collect G&W, but finding them at a good price is VERY difficult.

My recent pickups included a bunch of stuff from the Fan Expo in Canada.  Specifically the following:

- Phantasm poster master print signed by Don Coscarelli.
- Pokemon Heartgold NIB w/ pokedex
- Archie Meets the Punisher comic
- Ilsa She Wolf of the SS DVD

Got a bunch of promo stuffs too, such as:
- Playstation 4 t-shirt
- Playstation 4 sunglasses
- Playstation 4 keychain
- Xbox One Lanyard
- Batman 66 #1 comic
- tons of other crap

I also have two Laseractive games on the way in the mail.  Back to the Edo and Demon's Judgement.  This completes my Laseractive set, except for a Demon's Judgement obi.  Damn obi just pissing me off now...

I just bought all three SNES Street Fighter II games on Wii U, because I guess I pretty much have to collect every single iteration of this game now... and they were doing a pretty sweet deal of them too. :D

What made this even harder to miss is that I got SSFII at an even greater discount for already having it on the Wii. :P

That looks like one of those SCART to RGB boards....correct me if I'm wrong.  I've seen a few of those on ebay, but never with any sort of case/mounting, just a bare board.  Did you buy the clear case to put it in?  Also, do you need a separate power supply to run it?

Close! It's actually a GBS-8200 scaler unit encased and purchased from ArcadeForge. I do have the piece you mention though, as can be seen here in the full setup (connected to my Saturn at the time):

I hear bits of music from Ducktales' moon stage theme and Legend of Valkyrie during Airman's stage. Pretty cool but a little abrasive sounding. The original Megaman 2 music sounded way better.

I picked up an RF adaptor to replace my Famicom one that died, and I had been using for my PC Engine. Anyway, it was just a cheap, fancily packaged HK one from Retro-Bit. Let's take a look at the back of the box. (I don't have good pictures of the cable itself...)
(http://smaman.files.wordpress.com/2013/08/img_08291-e1377709642684.jpg)
Notice how it contradicts itself, it says it goes to Channel 13 on the left side, but 3 or 4 on the paragraph on the right! Also, there's no way you could "seamlessly" switch from TV to game unless you have some kind of dual RF adaptor. It comes with a standard RF to coax cable, and a box that basically just works as an adaptor for a Sega Genesis Model 2. There's no other coax port on the box itself unlike the NES-101 gray box model.

Le sigh... either way it works alright with my PC Engine. Not the best picture, but I've seen much worse.

The holy trinity, in Sharp x68000 form!

(http://www.lewisjeff.com/temp/august-2013-games1.gif)

Couple of other random pickups - California Games is the blue label re-release, and Alex Kidd is the red label re-release (2 down, 4 to go on the re-releases). I picked up the copy of Sonic because I noticed it was a U.S. seller and had a faint sticker on the back. I can't tell 100% because of sticker damage but I think this is a U.S. copy of Sonic. Might have to head over to SegaAge to verify.

Trinity?  Dude you totally need Thunder Blade.  It's still the best port of the game.  And for best results, get yourself a Cyberstick analog controller.  All 4 of those games support it for maximum awesomeness.

I managed to find a TG16 boxed with all paperwork in awesome shape for a nice price.  

Other than that, this new little gem has kept me from buying much (7800.00).
The rig on the left is my new parachute, right is the old one.  you can see the size difference, new one is smaller and far more aggressive.

Oh and I picked up Donkey Kong Country Returns for Wii...

I both love it and hate it.  The nostalgia value is super high (the music remixes, the similar / familiar gameplay and levels)  but they absolutely killed it with frickin waggle controls.  Why why WHY must I shake the damn controller to do a ROLL... the roll / roll jump is what makes DKC games DKC games...  and they f'd it up.  There are so many spots where I know I could blow through it with easy if only I had a damn SNES pad to play it with... 

Apparently there is a way to hack the wii and load some modifications that allow you to use the classic controller with the game.   I'm just surprised that they didnt have support for it in the game.  I mean if you're trying to appeal to a nostalgic crowd with your game, at least offer controls that are the same as the original.  If there was no such thing as the classic controller (or gamecube controllers) on the Wii, I'd give them a pass, but since such peripherals are available, why not use them!?

Thats why I played it for 5 minutes and said to hell with it and never played it again. Absolutely hate the gimmick controls the Wii has.

Honestly, give it a shot... It took me a good hour to finally get used to the frickin shake the controller thing.  Its still awkward, but the game really is quite good.  Alternately, I guess there is a 3DS version that doesnt have waggle controls hehe.

Really, I wouldnt care to shake to do the ground pounding or the blowing.. but rolling.. why guys why.

A few cheapies from the local game store.  Primal Rage is...eh.  I suck at fighting games.  Super Hang-On is reasonably fun, and Super Monaco GP is impressive but tough as nails.  I can't even finish the first race.

This is a sore point with me. Nintendo was trying to force waggle controls with its games without any options to change them. Super Mario Galaxy is a true classic and the best Mario game of this generation. But how many times did Mario accidentally spin jump sending him to his doom because of faulty waggle controls? Beyond frustrating I tell ya!

I've not played it yet (there's a pile of games that need attention first), but it looks to be cute yet not terribly exciting.  Honestly, I bought it mostly because it's one of the last games, meaning it'll likely be hard to find later on if I decide I really do want it and easy to sell if I don't.

I've been playing it a bit.  It's not just a visual novel but an otome game.  Some people might not be cool with that.  Did you play Hakuoki?

It's pretty hilarious how you play as Keiji Inafune's fictional niece.

Mzo I have not played Hakuoki either, I will look into it. I'm cool with it being an Otome game, this is a super niche JP title so I know my mileage may vary and all that other Jazz.  I'm intrigued .

I wasn't quite sure what to expect when I ordered them.  They seem to be tounge-in-cheek breakdowns of the NES Zelda and Castlevania games.
Very well done.  I am a sucker for video game related books and read as many as I can find.  They are about 80 pages each.

Next...

(http://imageshack.com/scaled/medium/19/sp0g.jpg)

These things are damn near mint...now I just need to scrounge up some inserts.

Next up, fresh from Amazon, possibly the most awesome VGA>HDMI transcoder that I have run across so far...

(http://imageshack.com/scaled/medium/59/4qhb.jpg)

If you don't believe me, check out my recent YT vids...VGA stuff looks fantastic in HD with this thing!

And lastly, but CERTAINLY not least...my Neo flag from rcantor77 arrived today finally!

(http://imageshack.com/scaled/large/822/9mwr.jpg)

Lady Stalker for the Super Fami - part of my endless quest to own all of the Climax games. Choplifter is the rare re-release variant (1 down, 2 to go for a full set of re-releases). Commando for the Fami - simply because I love Capcom's Famicom releases. This thing is about as close to mint condition as you could hope a 1986 Famicom cart could be. Really seems like the Japanese took better care of their shit than we did  :clap:

Is that a lanyard hanging from the wall?

Your thong?

Reflective PT belt. It keeps me safe when I go outside (or so the Army keeps trying to convince me...) :D

It stops gunfire???  ;)  :P

Gunfire, drunk drivers, small explosions, falling meteors, and quite possibly the occasional flying fat person. According to the Army, these belts make you indestructible. Or the belt is indestructible. I get them confused :P

Had a Dentist's appointment yesterday then ran around a bit to try and grab a couple games before I needed to pickup my daughter from daycare.

A couple complete Xbox games:
SWAT
Starsky & Hutch
Unreal Championship

Plus Neon Genesis Evangelion Volume 1 Platinum Edition.  Picked this up to ask Hidenori Matsubara to sign it at NDK (anime convention) next weekend! :D

Wii Music (Wii)
Cursed Mountain Special Edition (Wii)
Link's Crossbow Training (Wii)
Steel Diver (3DS)
Dream Trigger 3D  (3DS)

Some stuff from Gamestop, the were doing a 3 for $10 and I grabbed the 3DS games and Wii Music, Link's Crossbow Training was a whopping 44c.  I already have the regular Cursed Mountain, but it's a good game and this LE was pretty cheap too.

T-Mek (32X)

Finally went the local retro game store near me again and grabbed a couple things, they were doing a promo of buy 3 get the 4th free.  Hopefully I can sell that T-Mek to cover the costs of the other stuff I got there!

When I saw that I thought it was a heart rate monitor.  Made sense at the time with the running shoes and all.

The pedestrians around here could use a few of those indestructibelts - 3 seconds left on the (do not) walk light to get across 6 lanes of traffic?  Sure why not.

Hot on the heels of all those loosie Sega CD games, the custom cases/inserts that I had ordered for them arrived today. Super sweet!


Lastly today, the little mini-monitor came in. I figure this should make a pretty sweet traveling companion, as it can easily fit into a small bag with any of my systems and provide some semi-on-the-go gaming whereever there is power :D

A Rastan arcade board came in the mail from an online store.

Was said to work, but when hooking it up, I get no sound. :( -5v problem? Likely not since my POW also requires it and it work perfectly. Already notified them of the problem, just awaiting a response.

It accepts composite, vga, BNC, and if you have an adapter, component. So, yes :)

I have a pirate cart for my fami & it's just great.  It's definitely fast, but I really don't think it's quite as difficult as people say.  You've just gotta make smart use of your bomb.  I always get my ass handed to me by the final boss, though.

I think the fast-scrolling levels are particularly impressive.  "Blast processing" on the famicom?  :lol:

Didn't buy this, per se, but when i took my boys to their grandparents' house today my father informed me that he'd found my old magazine collection.  Imagine my relief when i saw what he'd found!

I can second that. I freaking love drinking wine. Theses are a few of my toys I've purchased lately. A Vaterra Kemora RC 1/14th scale 4wd Rally car with a 1400 Lipo battery and a Fuse 6000KV motor. This little beast picks up to 55 Mph. Great fun! I brought home 2 vapor mods, a EDZ Avenger mod with a Igo-w atomizer and a Vape O-Clock Rook mod with a Kayfun 3.1 atomizer. I'm really enjoying these 2 mods. Great vapor production and flavor on both mods. And finally 4 MVS carts for my collection. The Last Blade, Neo Geo Drift Out, Magical Drop 3 and another copy of League Bowling now I have 3 Neo Geo setups totaling 6 lanes of bowling action at the same time. I just can't have enough League Bowling !!!

Damn.  (http://junk.tg-16.com/images/pcgs.png)


I know, right?  :dance:

BTW, I saw your 2013 goals (http://archives.tg-16.com/help_us.htm) and will soon be sharing with you some 300 PPI bitmaps from an Epson Perfection 4990.  Gotta finish rotating (damn .2°), aligning, and cropping them first, but I've nearly completed scanning the following:

TurboPlay: 1, 5-11, 13 (sadly, #11 is pretty worn and had some pages stuck together...)
TurboForce: 1-3
DuoWorld: 1-3

I wish I'd seen your scanning guidelines before starting... your tip about the black construction paper to combat bleed-through is excellent. I'll probably be re-scanning some pages with this technique before all is said and done.


HELL YES I HAVE BEEN WANTING TO UPGRADE THOSE OLD SCANS FOR YEARS!!!!

If you can, use the file-naming-scheme from my site (for individual pages)...with your hardwork, we can finally have scans that LOOK NICE in 2014.  Also, .pdf's of entire issues will be available...something I didn't want to do until better scans were obtained.

I just got these for $20 off Craigslist.  I need some games ànd an AC adapter.  I love these things I haven't had one in years.  I used to have a boxed one with 20 boxed games, time to start all over again.  It came with two copies of slime world just incase I want to play it more than once.

Thanks, I was and am a huge fan of the Lynx and was do impressed with it when it came out.  Ever since I saw Toby Maguire (Yes, Spider Man Himself) sitting on the toilet playing one I had to have one. 



This will be my 4th go around, I keep building and then selling Lynx collections for some reason.

So this weekend I went to the local anime convention, Nan Desu Kan (NDK 2013), for one day and had a good time.  The main reason I went is because Hidenori Matsubara was going to be there, he's a big name animation director and character designer that worked on the Ah My Goddess series and Evangelion as well.  So, I got in the autograph line and asked him to sign a couple things for me:

First my Ah My Goddess Box Set
(http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7291/9777736882_be2fcbe7c9.jpg) (http://www.flickr.com/photos/93679370@N00/9777736882/)

Then he did a sketch of Asuka for me from Eva on the back of my liner notes book from the first volume of the Eva DVDs.
(http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7385/9777917284_1a76938e25.jpg) (http://www.flickr.com/photos/93679370@N00/9777917284/)

Then I got back in line a second time hoping for a second sketch.  Little known fact is that he worked on the 8th episode of Bubblegum Crisis as well.  So I asked him to do a sketch of Priss for me on the back of my LaserDisc liner notes.  He was really intrigued by the fact I had brought a LaserDisc to be signed and wanted to look at it too.  I was sooooo close to getting a second sketch done, but I was told NO by the NDK Staff lady who was in charge since there was only about 10 minutes left.  She refused to let me have the time to get a second sketch (even though others had) because she wanted her own stuff signed. :(  He at least gave me an autograph and a quick sketch on the notes though.

Anyway, at the dealer room I grabbed some small stuff, free Funimation posters (Fujiko, yeaaa):
(http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5332/9777904654_a0c7353c3e_n.jpg) (http://www.flickr.com/photos/93679370@N00/9777904654/)(http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5484/9777721491_d46b1703be_n.jpg) (http://www.flickr.com/photos/93679370@N00/9777721491/)

And a couple other things, a small Persona 4 figure, a program guide, and a stuffed Moogle for my daughter:

The last thing I grabbed, was completely outside the anime con, but I had managed to get everything organized in advance.  I talked with a guy on Craigslist and scored a Sony PVM-20M4U.  I met with him at a Starbucks near the con before leaving and loaded it up into my Corolla!  Then when I got home, I took some time to test it out in my garage.

(http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3684/9777905495_cdaf3f1964_n.jpg) (http://www.flickr.com/photos/93679370@N00/9777905495/)(http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7430/9777707971_7ee1a0cb02_n.jpg) (http://www.flickr.com/photos/93679370@N00/9777707971/)(http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7298/9777723492_5199cdf701_n.jpg) (http://www.flickr.com/photos/93679370@N00/9777723492/)

I don't have anything that outputs RGB now, but I will be working on it soon.  In the meantime I used S-Video to test and make sure it worked.  What a waste to break it in with a SNES though!!   :P

My old high school had a ton of those Sony's.  I wonder what ever happened to them?

ive beaten it twice so far. I really enjoyed it. Much better than Lollipop chainsaw. Not as good as No more heroes. The character design is only there for 2-3 characters in Killer is dead,while almost all the characters in no more heroes are awesome. The gigolo missions are pretty fun for awhile, and it is typical Suda 51 style. More serious story than is other games, and he breaks the 4th wall quite a bit.

Speaking of the story, it could have been much more if it wasn't so convoluted. But the gameplay is fun, and boss fights are pretty awesome. I say if you are a fan of past Suda games then you will enjoy Killer is Dead

damn that's a nice PVM!!  I still need to find a RGB monitor to play my Duo in RGB after all these years.

I know it's a stupid arse question -> but how do I connect a SCART-out modded PC Duo R to a PVM monitor like these?  Are there special connectors I can just buy off the shelve somewhere and plug in the SCART or vice versa??

Beamer/Deadlinte?  you both prob are the masters on this... pls share the wisdom :)

I don't have anything that outputs RGB now, but I will be working on it soon.  In the meantime I used S-Video to test and make sure it worked.  What a waste to break it in with a SNES though!!   :P

So, I believe those are called BNC connectors.  If I understand properly you can probably find a SCART cable with BNC leads and plug those in accordingly, then I just need to set the correct input and possibly fine tune  the monitor a bit for the colors.

I'm still a total noob on the PVM/RGB end of stuff as well, and still trying to figure out how I want to approach it all.  I could make custom cables for the output on specific consoles if I want, or I've heard other people using something like a scart switcher, then output from the switcher to the PVM with a single custom cable.   ](*,) ](*,)

Right now my big concern is finding a way to get it out of the garage and into the house and set up without my wife asking why I need another CRT in the house.   :?

Havent been buying much at all lately, but I did pick one thing up.  I'm a super softy for special edition crap.  As much as I hated to give Failstop any of my money, I couldn't resist it.  Ordered it online and had it shipped so I didn't have to go in and talk to the goons that work there.

Wii U Deluxe limited zelda windwaker HD edition thingy.  It matches the Zelda 3DS so nicely... :D

Interesting fact... I weighed both the 3DS and the Wii U tablet thingy...  the 3DS was about 8 ounces, while the Wii U thingy was 17 ounces.  Basically twice as heavy.  I was really surprised at how light the tablet thingy was.

First impression, stick is nice and hefty with a nice high quality feel. Buttons are very mushy/springy with a lot of travel. They will give you finger a work out after a while or if you play a shooter without auto fire. Also button I and II put your hand on the corner, would be cool to have them on a switch to remap them to the top left corner. Maybe I'll do a full review when I have time  :)

That's awesome. I remember getting the VHS tapes, ha! LD is much, much kooler. Please report if there are any interesting aspects of the LD release (the VHS tapes didn't have anything).

XE-1AP Analog/Digital Controller, complete in box with reg card and manual.  This was designed for X68K/MSX/FM Towns primarily, but will also work with select Mega Drive/Genesis games.  I specifically grabbed it so I can try it out with Space Harrier 32X.  I seriously thought about getting the Cyberstick based on a recommendation from SuperDeadite, but the shipping from Japan would have been just killer....

Super Mega Drive Fan Vol 1 CD.  Looks practically brand new, but it has a selection of interesting tracks on it.

Theme Park for the Mega-CD.  Imported this bad boy from the UK at a decent price.  Only a couple more I need from the UK to get the exclusives for that region.

Popful Mail Mega CD flyer from Japan.  More Popful Mail stuff!!!  I have an addiction to Popful Mail in general.



Also...
Read the ad then notice what's missing from the picture.

No sensor bar.     :-k



I brought it home and tested it out with my own sensor bar and it works like a charm.

Also manged to find some extra Wii remotes at the local thrift for $6 each, which worked fine.  Now I've got a nice unit to give to my parents!

I think those XE-1 controllers were the first home controller to feature analogue controls. Pretty cool.

No, the pad is the mini version of the Cyberstick, which came out a few years earlier.  The pad is decent, but the original stick is way better.

I've gone nuts for SG-1000 games lately, I picked up these games on eBay for a bit over $70:

Hang-On II
Pitfall II
Drol
Dragon Wang
Championship Lode Runner
Choplifter
Doki Doki Penguin Land

Then yesterday I picked up Wonder Boy (also on the SG-1000) for $18, and just today I got these SG-1000 carts for $46 shipped:

N-Sub
Congo Bongo
Star Jacker
Safari Hunting
Monaco GP

A lot of websites list that, but that's because most people are ignorant of the full-size stick itself.  The stick was originally created by Micomsoft to go along with their port of Afterburner to the X68000.  Sharp liked the stick so much that they officialized it, hence there is a both a Sharp (green buttons) and Micomsoft (red buttons) version.  The pad came about a year later for a smaller more hand-held approach.

My requirement that all games in my collection come with box/manual is making my SG-1000 collecting experience a nightmare, haha.

I wonder if the reason they say it is the "first" is because the 1AP has built in MegaDrive support, where you need the adapter for the Cyberstick.  I'm sure people can nitpick it all day, but it's a cool concept at least. 

Now I need that XHE-3 like you were talking about so I can get PCE support, but I'd be spending more on the adapter that I would have for the entire controller.

I intend to do a full paint job and detail all the panel lines. This will be the first kit I have done since I was a kid where I painted everything so hopefully it turns out nice :D I'm a little more precise and patient than I was when I was a kid. I've only done a couple mech kits recently and I only did minor detailing the panel lines and stuff so this will be fun.

My only advice is to be very careful with the clear green canopy bit.  Mine broke during assembly, but thankfully it still stays in place regardless.

Thumbs up for AIKa! Despite all the flack it gets (which it probably deserves by the way) It's really good for what it is, above average animation and nice attention to detail on vehicles and firearms - not to mention overall pleasant background and color work. And a surprisingly pleasant soundtrack with some really decent vocal tunes.  :mrgreen:

Now. Green Green on the other hand  :-k

Heh, with anime at prices like this I normally figure I can probably watch it once and if I don't like it just sell it on the internet to make back my cost.  I'll probably watch Aika first though based on your recommendation. 




Though I've got quite an anime backlog because I couldn't help myself last night and swung by for a couple more DVDs and then hit GameStop:

Armitage III OVA
Armitage Dual-Matrix Movie

Etrian Odyssey Untold: Millenium Girl (3DS)
Dragon Blade: Wrath of Fire (Wii)

Finding these Armitage DVDs brought nice nostalgia of all the old Pioneer stuff from back then.  Actually, the disc art for the Armitage OVA is kind of cool, it's designed to look like a PCB but all the little IC chips have funky text on them that look like in jokes.  One is emblazoned with Pioneer LDC (LaserDisc Company) and another is an AIC processor.  Dragon Blade was also like $3 so I figured it was worth a try, seems like it might be fun.

Let me know how Batman on Wii U is. Since I just got a Wii U, i'm trying to build up the library a bit, instead of getting it on the other consoles.

I haven't played it yet, but from what i hear the Wii U version is the best. It has all the DLC for free, and some other extra features. I hear there are slight frame rate issues, but they aren't bad

I am the only person that didnt get that Wind Waker LE.

I am upset with myself, so now I am just gonna pass on the game in general.  Have the GC original, so at least this saves me $60.

I didn't get it either.. is it just a graphics 'upgrade'? If so I will probably pass as well

upgrade to graphics, music. also made it so the tri force quest is only 3 pieces instead of 8,and there is a fast sail now. Much easier to sail the sea, and wind blows in every direction so you don't have to keep stopping and using the wind waker. Other changes include, motion (gyro) controls for certain items

It's not just a hi-def upgrade. The graphics have been completely remastered. It's stunning!

IIRC - that's the legit US PC port of Dragon Knight. They advertised it in PC Gamer back in the day. I played a copy in DosBox and it seems like a rushed port of a PC-98 version of the game.

It's a US PC port of Dragon Knight III. That's the full retail box CD-ROM talkie version. There was a floppy only version as well.

I got a lot of cool stuff this week already!

First some stuff I got from BlueBMW:

A Fully Recapped Pioneer LaserActive PAC S1 (Now I can play JP Mega CDs a lot easier!)
Sonic & Knuckles
Herzog Zwei
Might and Magic: Gates to Another World


Then something I got on ebay:

2013-10-07 Pickups - Sega CD Backup Ram Cart (http://www.flickr.com/photos/93679370@N00/10143870455/#) by xelement5x (http://www.flickr.com/people/93679370@N00/), on Flickr
A fully boxed Sega CD Backup RAM Cart in the nicest condition I have ever seen.  Also comes with the original Funcoland receipt from 1995.  This is pretty much one of the last Sega CD related items I've been missing, and I waited a long time before finally picking this one up since I've been a stickler about condition.  I've had a loose cart since the late 90s though that I bought at Media Play.


Finally, new games I ordered:

Hot off the presses from NIS America: Disgaea D2.

Also came with a free Flonne Squad sticker :3


And of course:

I picked this up from Gamestop with free shipping.  Looks like the side with Zelda on it is bowed in a bit, but I can't complain too much since I actually got it at MSRP.

This pick up is easily the best pickup I ever had besides my Neo Geo 4-slot cab in terms of price and the amount of games.


I was searching Craigslist for games and came across an add that simply stated Video Games.  I clicked on it and saw this for sale for only $40.

(http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a104/evilevo8/Classic Game Pickups/IMG_2361_zps84f8b271.jpg) (http://s10.photobucket.com/user/evilevo8/media/Classic Game Pickups/IMG_2361_zps84f8b271.jpg.html)

The guy was local and said that he was getting rid of all his stuff and had some Game Gears too, I no longer had a game gear so he said he'd sell me one for $40 with 24 games so I said sold.




We meet in a parking lot and the guy has a whole truck filled with games and said just take it all for $200.  How could I resist!  It took me a couple of hours just to sort through everything, what a find.


When I got home this was what I dragged into my hall way.

(http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a104/evilevo8/Classic Game Pickups/IMG_2363_zps925c4b6a.jpg) (http://s10.photobucket.com/user/evilevo8/media/Classic Game Pickups/IMG_2363_zps925c4b6a.jpg.html)

After digging through everything and sorting it this is what I bought for $200.

I gotta say I am quite happy with this and really can't keep it all.  I now have 4 Saturns and about 6 Genesis units.  If anyone needs some stuff I am more than happy to trade if you need something.  Maybe raffle off some stuff too.

Im not really in it to make money, really just grow my collection.  I never played Shenmue, I loved my Game Gear back in the day, and I can trade my Gennys for new stuff.  So much extra stuff if it comes down to it I can sell it.  The two N64's alone make up most of my cost if I should choose to sell.  The controllers go for stupid money now, God knows why.  Same with Master system stuff, crazy expensive IMHO.

Cool Pick up Evo.  I might be interested in a bit of the genny stuff if you don't get rid of it right away.  I've had some luck with some local people like this.  I wonder from time to time if some of it's stolen though with some of these guys.

Check that older Genesis - see if it has n FCC ID of FJ846EUSASEGA which indicates a non-TMSS console (with the better sound chip).

I'm pretty sure they are sold out at this point.  There was a limited restock on Gamestop.com a couple weeks before release, but they sold out too.  I tried to PM a couple members who had sounded like they were interested, but this was the same time PCEFX went down so I had to try other channels somewhat unsuccessfully.

It's actually in pretty nice shape.  Not mint, and you can tell it was used, but the binding is still holding everything together fine.  I got lucky grabbing this from Beemer, I had wanted a copy with the manual for awhile as well too, especially since it's so thick.  And there are color illustrations in it too!

I got a lot of cool stuff this week already!


Then something I got on ebay:

2013-10-07 Pickups - Sega CD Backup Ram Cart (http://www.flickr.com/photos/93679370@N00/10143870455/#) by xelement5x (http://www.flickr.com/people/93679370@N00/), on Flickr
A fully boxed Sega CD Backup RAM Cart in the nicest condition I have ever seen.  Also comes with the original Funcoland receipt from 1995.  This is pretty much one of the last Sega CD related items I've been missing, and I waited a long time before finally picking this one up since I've been a stickler about condition.  I've had a loose cart since the late 90s though that I bought at Media Play.




Ehehe, I'd been holding out for quite awhile for one in nice shape so it cost me.  Loose ram carts seem to go around $35, and I paid $60 shipped for that minty one I found.  Quite a lot for me to drop on an older game item, but they're really pretty uncommon compared to most stuff, and I'd been watching ebay for maybe 6 months looking for one in that condition.  I'm a big Sega/Mega CD fan so this was one of those items I'd put off that I wanted for my collection.  Interestingly, the box for the ram cart seems to be taller than even the plastic longboxes, so I need to modify my shelves for it!

but it may give you some cash back on the bay.

Im not really in it to make money, really just grow my collection.  I never played Shenmue, I loved my Game Gear back in the day, and I can trade my Gennys for new stuff.  So much extra stuff if it comes down to it I can sell it.  The two N64's alone make up most of my cost if I should choose to sell.  The controllers go for stupid money now, God knows why.  Same with Master system stuff, crazy expensive IMHO.

If you are looking to sell Out Run for the SMS let me know :)

Check that older Genesis - see if it has n FCC ID of FJ846EUSASEGA which indicates a non-TMSS console (with the better sound chip).
I don't get why the FCC ID is a big deal, an even easier way to tell non-TMSS consoles apart from ones that have it is to look for the patent numbers, which are on a silver or white strip on that sticker. From my experience every single Genesis that didn't have the patent numbers did not have TMSS.

I'm currently in the market for a Genesis Model 1 if you want to work something out.


Yeah no problem, I have 4 model 1's right now so hit me up with a pm and I'll put together a package for you.  I have many doubles in games as well if your looking for commons.

When I get home today I'll check to see if my new model 1 is non tmss

Well most characters like Ryo and Robert, just triangle jump kick and hard kick sweep. You can't straight up fight the computer, you have to use the cheapness patterns (even on 1 out of 8 challenge, lol). Kinda f*cking ruins any casual enjoying of the game 1 player-wise, which is a damn shame.

This is why I just use the Unibios cheats to get an upper hand. Like infinite spirit meter for moves. This is one of the few games I make the exception of using cheats.

I get you on being cheap.  Uri I can't beat unless I crouch at a certain position and she always jumps into me which I counter with an upper cut, that is the only way I can beat her.  I am beyond cheap playing this game.

I see someone was shopping at Target!  They're the only ones who got the old school boxes, I've got the "updated" versions when I bought them at King Soopers (Kroger) near me.  The flavors are new too! Personally I like the new Yummy Mummy (Orange Creme) over Frute Brute (Cherry), but it's definitely no Fruity Pebbles, my personal weakness.

It seems like Target is the only store that sells the Monster Cereals every year around Halloween in my area. I just tried Yummy Mummy this morning for the first time and it is good. I'm looking forward to trying Frute Brute as well. Fruity Pebbles has always been my favorite. I got a limited edition box of Fruity Pebbles with marshmallows a few years back and always wondered why they didn't sell them on a regular basis. I suppose I could always just remove the marshmallows from Lucky Charms and add them to my Fruity Pebbles (which would essentially leave me with Alpha Bits cereal).

Sega Dreamcast with RF and Power
One Dreamcast controller with 3rd Party Rumble Pack

Rainbow Six
Draconus: Cult of the Wyrm
Nightmare Creatures II
Tomb Raider Chronicles
Shadow Man
Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver
Star Wars: Pod Racer


How is the Pod Racer game on the DC?  I played it nonstop on the N64 years ago.

Anyway, more stuff...

I traded in my other copy of Primal Rage because it was lacking a manual & came in a plastic case, and bought this one CIB on the cheap.  Also, I don't know why I didn't get Streets of Rage 2 sooner, but I am very glad I have it now.  Yuzo Koshiro definitely outdid himself with this one.

These were a gift from my family (they frequent yardsales).  Space Jockey & Commando Raid are meh, but I'm excited to try Tunnel Runner & Venture.

And lastly, I just got this Starpath Supercharger.  I'm waiting for a new RF cable for my atari & a couple cassette games.  Can't wait to see if my old R2-D2 walkman I just dug out of storage still works!

Awesome! The music in Soul Reaver was done by the lead singer of Information Society. Some of it can be found on their (his) album "Don't. Be Afraid".  Good stuff.

And Streets of Rage is probably my favorite console beat 'em up of all time.  My 5yr old son and I just beat it together (on easy) a few weeks ago. :)

EDIT: Gah! Sorry for the mis-quote. Friggin cell phone...

Yuzo's music in the first two Streets of Rage games hits me hard. It drills into the pit of my stomach and remains there long after I finish playing. I have been playing SoR3 for the first time ever today. I have to say I do not like the music. At all. Maybe I'll warm up to it after repeated plays.

Yeah, I was reading through SoR reviews & saw the third being panned.  Originally I had no interest in the first two either, as beat-em-ups aren't really my thing...but the music is ultimately what swayed me.  They're definitely growing on me now. :D

Bought this today off a co-worker for a fiver.  I opened it up when I got home and there wasn't an ounce of crud on it.  No grungy sweaty build up, no dust, no marks, no pubes, not even any seminal fluid.  I'm guessing this unit was bought, connected and then put back in the box until now.  I can even see the factory bends in the cabling still.  Also included was a trashy Euro music CD by EIFFEL 65.  I'll be putting that one up for raffle.  :wink:

I've never owned a PS1.  Without using Google, anyone care to fill me in on which model this is and where it fits in the different versions of the PS1 out there?  Any notable games I should not miss out on that are PS1 specific?  Keep in mine I like my games linear.  :)

I won't be a PS1 collector, but I am a large PS3 fan.  It's nice to have this in my little gameroom.  :)

Congrats!  I can't tell which model you have (maybe someone else here can).  Is there a port on the back-right side?  I think they removed that from later models.  If there is a port there, you may be able to hunt down a device that will allow you to play cd-rs and other region games, though I don't know how easy those devices are to come by these days.  Honestly, I play all my PS1 games on my PS2, so my PS1 just sits in storage these days.

Off the top of my head, Castlevania: SotN, the Jumping Flash games, Parappa the Rapper, Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasy IX and The Raiden Project still get a fair amount of gameplay from me. I never had a very large library for the PS1, though.

Right. Also there is a model that uses standard A/V inputs in the back, but you have the one where the A/ V uses the propriety connector like the PS2 models. Not sure which one was first.  I think the standard A/V was the first run.

Yes, it has the proprietary connector.  Looks similar to the PS3 actually.

It's actually the same connector, you can use the same AV cables on any PS device.  I swap mine back and forth all the time when testing systems. 



I also got these yesterday evening:

Lethal Enforcers II: The Western, Mega CD Box Set (also comes with massive registration sheet)
Sonic The Hedgehog
Mortal Kombat
Shadow Blaster
Burning Force
Columns
Arnold Palmer: Tournament Golf
SHOVE IT!
Altered Beast

Lethal Enforcers was thankfully a domestic pickup so I didn't have to pay crazy shipping from Japan.  It's complete with all the stuff as far as I can tell and I love the box art on it.  The sly coquettish look of that female gunslinger just draws you in. :D

The Genesis games were a bundle pickup from ebay, all are complete with instructions.  I actually grabbed everything because of Burning Force, but Shadow Blasters and SHOVE IT! look pretty interesting too.

They came out around 3 or 4 years after the Playstation came out.

The dual shock pad itself didn't arrive until either very late 1997 or early 1998 (three years later). I think the bundle came out in 1998, so 3 or 4 years later depending on where you live.

Added in edit: That's a later in lifespan original Playstation design model. After that came the smaller and slimmer PSone which launced around 2000 if I recall correctly.

Welcome to the world of MIDI, now you too can spend an insane sum for professional level synth modules, mixers, amps, and speakers.  I think I've spent more on my custom MIDI setup then I have on the computer, almost double lol.

I brought my shiny new Roland SC-55 to Octurbofest, then immediately realized that I had forgotten speakers and a splitter cable. Beemer and I had to run to a computer store to pick up some Logitech speakers to test out the card with.

I actually want to keep my setup nostalgic - just stereo speakers like in the old PC days. I've run retro systems through my 7.1 home theater setup and I'm actually not a huge fan of doing it that way.

I do, however, really want to buy an old 486 and run the old Roland MT-32 games like Wing Commander.

Post by: SuperDeadite on October 24, 2013, 05:08:13 AM
The SC-55 is good for purists, but for me the whole point of MIDI is too make things sound as awesome as possible, hence the good old 55 just doesn't cut it.

Nando I use: Yamaha MU2000EX + PLG150-DR (GM and GS games) and a Roland CM-64 (LA games) as my main setup.  Also have a few odd devices like a Yamaha SY22 for the one game that supports it.  Still have all my old modules as well (CM-500, TG100, SC-55mkII, M1FR..) but they are more nostalgia pieces at this point.

Technically you don't need any of them.  They are optional.  These days it's become cool to hate on the MIDI and just use the FM only for a lot of people.  For me it really depends on the game, sometimes the FM is better, sometimes the MIDI is better.  Hence I like having options.

You also have presumably much easier access to acquire said devices, heh.

Do you have any posted examples of some of the higher end midi modules in operation? Would love to hear the difference.

Nando I use: Yamaha MU2000EX + PLG150-DR (GM and GS games) and a Roland CM-64 (LA games) as my main setup.  Also have a few odd devices like a Yamaha SY22 for the one game that supports it.  Still have all my old modules as well (CM-500, TG100, SC-55mkII, M1FR..) but they are more nostalgia pieces at this point.


You also have presumably much easier access to acquire said devices, heh.

Do you have any posted examples of some of the higher end midi modules in operation? Would love to hear the difference.


Hmm, yes I think I do :P  Check my channel for more, here's just a few highlights.

For me it really depends on the game, sometimes the FM is better, sometimes the MIDI is better.  Hence I like having options.

Love that about retro gaming. Thanks for posting your setup. That's impressive.

Your machine has the SD setup correct?

SD setup?  Do you mean Compact Flash card?  Yes of course, I'm one of the few people left that is actively dumping otherwise totally lost games, such as Direct-X and Space Soldier II.  :)

I really wanted an SC 3-door coupe, or at least an SL1 (for the twin cam engine) but this was the first car I found that didn't completely suck.  It needs brake work, an alignment, new tires, possibly suspension maintainance, and a new ignition switch, but it's getting me from A to B pretty efficiently right now.  The fuel economy is insane.

Is it bad that I wanted a Saturn partially so I could put a sega sticker on it? :lol:

Also, anyone know where I can score some obey bumper stickers?

Yes!   I played this game on a CDR a ton back in college in had been putting off getting it for awhile because it never got cheap like a lot of DC games.  I've been fleshing out a lot of my DC collection recently so I knew I should stop putting off grabbing it. :D


I guess I'll throw this one up as well, it's a homebrew from a fellow on Nintendo Age.

Philosoma is a great shooter for PS1. A lot of people tended to crap on it as years went by, but man for its time I thought it did a lot of stuff right.


NZXT Gamma Classic ATX case

Wanted to put my XP build in something a little more modern. Was using a Chieftec Dragon case, which now houses my 3DFX build. Parts that went into the Gamma Classic:
BFG 650 watt psu
Gigabyte GA-MA74GM-S2
Athlon X2 5200+ (2.7 GHz, 65W, rev. G2) cooled via copper block heatsink/4800 rpm fan combo
2gb DDR2 667mhz in dual channel
BFG GeForce GTX 260 MAXCORE
Ageia Physx pci card
dvd drive
80gb and 160gb hd

Stuff this build will run: MOH: Airborne, Brothers in Arms series, Bionic Commando/Rearmed, NFS Carbon, Dawn of War, Mirrors Edge, Serious Sam 2, Bet on Soldier, Rush for Berlin etc.

I thought that looked kind of cool.  I've yet to find a copy, though...

But I did get this stuff.

I've got to say, Quake takes the center stage here.  Probably the best early FPS I've played on a console, surpassing even Duke Nukem 3D IMO.  Very dark and moody, too.

It's a shame...this copy of Sega Rally Championship won't load past the Forest level.  I'll probably try to find a cheap loosie to replace it.

I've always thought that philosoma looked and played like ass, especially when it came out.

But that might be also due to my neverending love for hand drawn 2D stuff during all the bit ages, and that i was enjoying my PCE still a 10x times more than anything on the PS1 that came out at that time. especially crappy new-style render shooters.

While it will never hold a candle to the majority of lovely 2D goodness of the 8 and 16-Bit era, Philosoma has its charms. I gave my original copy to a friend long ago when he first upgraded to the PS1, but was able to score a minty copy here locally on the cheap a few years ago. The reunion was sweet. :)

I see you're point there. I think I got the most bored out by the infinite repetitive back grounds, that resembled much more to a vanguard on the 2600 than anything good from the 16 bit era. the FMV stuff was legendary tho, but that was never the real stuff that could impress me much :)

The LaserActive games were the majority of the cost here, but the prices were all very good compared to what they normally go for on ebay and other places.  I am especially happy about finally getting a copy of Road Blaster, since the last US copy that was up on ebay ended at around $500 and I paid nowhere near that for my JP copy. 

I haven't had time to test through or play anything yet, hopefully I will get some time this weekend, Zappingu is even brand new and sealed!

I actually just realized these are all Mega-LDs too, no NEC love.  Maybe next time ;)

Couple pickups in the past 2 weeks:

1.) Ninja Gaiden, CIB for the Sega Master System. Got a shockingly good price for this one - thank you eBay alerts

2.) The rare-ish re-release version of Phantasy Star, CIB (if your version has the battery backup memory text in green in the top right, yours is too; the original release didn't have it).

That leaves me with just the blue cart version of Rambo to have the full NTSC set + the variants, which I whiffed on once a year ago at auction and haven't seen it since...

3.) Longbox NFL Gameday for the PS1 for a buck at Goodwill, also CIB. God, this game is awful but I couldn't resist.

It's the PAL version - no NTSC release for that one. I'm trying to get Power Strike II PAL to top off the collection but it's getting pretty insanely expensive these days.

Mobile so quoting is a pain in the ass, but..

1.)  I love the LA haul.  Road Prosecutor is my favorite game on the system and VC2 isn't too far behind.

2.)  I think in the original NFL Gameday you can tackle the WR and not get called for interference, as long as you also intercept the ball.  I played that game a lot BITD if that is the one...  give it a try!

Re: Gameday - I fired it up quick in the PS1 emulator to give it a run through. It made me really appreciate how much better NFL games got when NFL 2k came out on the DC. That game actually still holds up decently today.

I played last years Madden a little bit and man, I gotta say that the NFL exclusive license is killing any and all innovation with football games. Really with 2K Sports got another shot at making a competitor to the Madden franchise.

I am an avid madden player, and I agree about the "exclusive" clause with EA.
we are forced to live with them telling us what we want because there is no choice. Every year they make stupid changes to the button assignments and adding dumb features nobody ever even plays. All to justify the $60 asking price. IMO, they have never topped 2003 from a playability standpoint.

I never got into the 2k series, because back then Madden satisfied me just fine. I had roommates BATTLE over 2k matches for literally weekends on end.

I'd love to hear about Dungeon Explorer PSP (I know it isn't good, but I love hearing from folks whose opinion I trust).

At the very least, I want to hear the music.

Was there any PC wallpaper for DE PSP? I vaguely remember something.

I tried it for a few minutes, the opening sequence is poorly translated. Then I spent a bit of time making a character, then hacking and slashing a bit. So far I can't say too much.

I'm not sure if there was PC wallpaper made but it wouldn't surprise me. There was a DS Dungeon Explorer made around the same time frame.

As far as I can tell it's a completely new game that isn't a reboot of any of the previous games.

As far as Awesome Possum goes, I know it's reputation but for 2.99 I figured it would be worth picking up even if it's a terrible platformer. High Seas Havoc for 7.99 also seemed like a good deal and might be the best find from yesterday.

Dungeon Explorer on the PSP is Dungeon Explorer in name only.  It's a straightforward and rather bland hack 'n' slash dungeon crawler that wouldn't be all that bad if it didn't overstay its welcome (it's kinda fun in the beginning); but it's loooooooong and not in a good way with lots of differing content to enjoy.  I gave up on it at about 90 hours, after perusing the internet and finding I was a bit less than halfway through.  Yeah, 200+ hours of grinding.....  ](*,)

There's some variety with occasional special missions and eventual big boss fights (each dungeon has a mini-boss, but they're nothing special), but you mostly play the same generic missions over and over and over again just to gain enough experience, and you won't stand a chance if you move on to the higher dungeons too soon.  Pro tip: change classes as soon as possible to unlock the best classes (check teh interwebz).  Better pro tip: play something else.

Damn. Thanks for the scoop. I have to investigate the DS version that someone mentioned, too.

I still think the music may have some entertainment value? PSP tunes...anything to get excited about? Or was the soundtrack more ambient?

I still think the music may have some entertainment value? PSP tunes...anything to get excited about? Or was the soundtrack more ambient?

Sadly, it's nothing special and there's just a few songs - town, dungeon, boss fight, and....

...Aaaaaaand they drop the ball by not focusing more on what made the original games so much more enjoyable. The wonderful tunes.

Heh, I did a lot of ebay shopping when I first got into LaserActive stuff several years ago, but there is a lot more competition today.  After that I went for overseas stuff since almost all the games are multi-region.  Most of my JP games are from Yahoo Japan or Surugaya, there are a couple other retailers I've found that occasionally get LA stuff in stock so I check back periodically on them as well. 

Really though, I've learned that a LaserActive game not having the obi is my best bet for finding a deal, prices tend to go a lot lower than normal without them.

Dungeon Explorer on the PSP is Dungeon Explorer in name only.  It's a straightforward and rather bland hack 'n' slash dungeon crawler that wouldn't be all that bad if it didn't overstay its welcome (it's kinda fun in the beginning); but it's loooooooong and not in a good way with lots of differing content to enjoy.  I gave up on it at about 90 hours, after perusing the internet and finding I was a bit less than halfway through.  Yeah, 200+ hours of grinding.....  ](*,)

There's some variety with occasional special missions and eventual big boss fights (each dungeon has a mini-boss, but they're nothing special), but you mostly play the same generic missions over and over and over again just to gain enough experience, and you won't stand a chance if you move on to the higher dungeons too soon.  Pro tip: change classes as soon as possible to unlock the best classes (check teh interwebz).  Better pro tip: play something else.


Damn. Thanks for the scoop. I have to investigate the DS version that someone mentioned, too.

I still think the music may have some entertainment value? PSP tunes...anything to get excited about? Or was the soundtrack more ambient?

I love those white / colorful saturn pads whisper.  Such a nice color scheme.

By complete random chance I shot a load of cash on something I hadn't planned on buying til next year sometime.  The only way I was going to buy one is if it fell in my lap... well this one fell in my lap so I bit.  Coworker had pre-ordered it, picked it up and then decided he didn't really want it.  Sold it to me for his cost.   Picked up Call of Dookie so I could play with some friends (friends who only play CoD) I haven't investigated any launch games so I have no idea what is good / not good.  I'll have to do some looking.

All that said... I'll bet we can all agree as to what is the best part of this haul....   

Ducktales!  Yeah, everyone should buy it.

Nice Beamer!

I am so pissed I bought Ducktales for my Wii U digitally, before the disc version came out.

I picked up Killzone, Knack, and CoD with my PS4.  So far only played Knack and Killzone.  Not a CoD fan, but my friends will want to come over and play.

Knack is pretty good so far in the 3 or so hours I put into it.  Reviews were pretty negative, but I think the co-op makes the game really work.  If I was playing by myself, probably wouldn't enjoy it nearly as much.

all 1084 monitors have RGB on them.  Either in DIN or DB9 form.

EDIT:  The one in the video looks like a 1084S, so it should have a DIN on the back for RGB.

You can plug an Amiga 500 in to composite with just a normal RCA cable, but it will be black and white.


I might still have a cable here for Amiga 500-->1084 monitor.    I'll see if I do still.  It's free if I can find it.

Yes - I had a 1084 with a RGB Scart input (sadly the screen died around 2 years ago  :? :cry:). But the more common ones are the screens with the 9 Pin RGB input.

Standard PPG pricing - common stuff is pretty reasonably priced and anything remotely rare or uncommon is balls expensive...and then there's the $349 for a loose PCE Duo.

People Play Games has a very great selection for all systems. But yeah, some of the rarer titles tend to be way overpriced. Any noteworthy turbo or AES games at the store, Jeff? It's been a while since I visited PPG.

As long as you're not buying grail games behind the glass case, the deals aren't horrible but they're creeping up past eBay prices in some cases. But on the flipside you get to actually see what you're buying before you buy it. So there's that.

They had a decent wall of U.S. Turbo stuff for $8-10 bucks a piece, complete. Behind the glass case they had CIB U.S. copies of Soldier Blade, Dungeon Explorer 2 and Terraforming. Some other goodies like Under Defeat for the DC, MUSHA for the Genesis along with a bunch of complete boxed NES games for absurd prices. Nothing "OMGRARE" this time around but a good selection if you have the $$$.

For AES they had 3 Count Bout and Blue's Journey both CIB for $50 each. They had some loose AES in the glass case but I didn't bother to translate the names on the labels.

As long as you're not buying grail games behind the glass case, the deals aren't horrible but they're creeping up past eBay prices in some cases. But on the flipside you get to actually see what you're buying before you buy it. So there's that.

They had a decent wall of U.S. Turbo stuff for $8-10 bucks a piece, complete. Behind the glass case they had CIB U.S. copies of Soldier Blade, Dungeon Explorer 2 and Terraforming. Some other goodies like Under Defeat for the DC, MUSHA for the Genesis along with a bunch of complete boxed NES games for absurd prices. Nothing "OMGRARE" this time around but a good selection if you have the $$$.

For AES they had 3 Count Bout and Blue's Journey both CIB for $50 each. They had some loose AES in the glass case but I didn't bother to translate the names on the labels.

Good chance that Soldier Blade was the same one that was there two years ago. Still too expensive I'd wager.

I used to go that store frequently during my college days. The owner is a really cool guy. He knows me by name. His prices used to be reasonable on just about anything, even rarer stuff. I remember picking up US Soldier Blade with manual for $40 about 3 or 4 years ago. The owner even threw in about a dozen hucard sleeves. In the past two years the prices have really gone up on the rarer stuff, such as $350 for a CIB Soldier Blade and $250 for CIB Shockman last time I was there...

Like Jeff said, the store is definitely worth getting to if you are in the area. There aren't too many places where you can see turbo games out in the wild, among other cool games. :)

I walked by that Media XChange a couple blocks down from there; that place was pretty good if I remember from our trip a couple years ago. I had to cut myself off though, heh.

Isn't Herman Li the guitarist from Dragonforce?  Man, he's a monster.  I remember watching a video awhile back where he said a lot of his licks were inspired by retro games.

Yes, Herman Li is indeed the guitarist from Dragonforce. I have only owned an acoustic guitar over the 20+ years that I have been playing so I wanted to get a nice electric guitar and spent some vacation money towards it since I didn't go on a cruise this year.

Unfortunately I can't really play either until tomorrow, as I have stuffz tonight.

Killer Instinct was real enjoyable when I played it, but I wish there was more characters.  Not even double digits in 2013 is kind of a joke!

All the Saturn games came out to about $7 each with the shipping, you can see what I paid for Blood Will Tell in the picture.  :P
I will probably try and sell Blood Will Tell since it seems to go for closer to $30, or if anyone has an extra Norse by Norsewest manual I would happily trade for it. :D

I grabbed this for $10 shipped since I'm a LaserActive whore.  Awesome RF so I can simulate watching my LDs off broadcast channels.  :P


Then the awesome!

I got my Bubblegum Crisis poster from the Kickstarter campaign!  Gotta love that sexy Priss.   =P~
The organization for this project is kind of all over the place though, I went for the Premium Poster level and the "premium" part is still kind of being figured out, but I'm optimistic they'll make it worthwhile.

Very nice.  What's with all the dups?  Urban Strike fan?  :)

I remember Maximum Carnage.  That character started off with soooo much potential in the comics.


I bought them as a lot. I don't have the strike games for the Genny, but I have desert strike for the SNES, and never really cared for it. When buying lots, I usually keep the ones I want, and resell the rest to offset the cost. Many times you can recoup almost the entire cost of the lot by selling the extras. It makes collecting a lot more affordable.

Post by: FiftyQuid on December 04, 2013, 12:57:23 PM
Yeah, I get it.  I buy lots as well, but they normally don't have many dups.  It just seemed weird, but I'm sure I've seen weirder.

Against my better judgement I went to the game and thrift stores last night, the results were interesting.

First the games:

QuickShot Genesis Joystick Pad with 2 play option and slow motion/auto fire options.  It's got two controller connectors for port 1 and 2, I guess so you can just pass it back and for to your friend depending on who is playing?

DVI to VGA Adapter.  You can always use one of these!
GPS/Phone dash mount weight thingy. 
Wired headset for mobile phones since my current one is getting flaky.

There was a ton of NOS PC items from what looked like Best Buy there for about $2-$3 each.

Sentek WT-11 World Time Calculator. 
This thing looks awesome in an 80s styling way.  The battery is dead but it looks like it takes coin cells so I just need to dig up a couple to give it a whirl.

The Dukes of Hazzard Die Cast Metal Auto Tools For Kids
Probably the most bizarre thing I've ever seen, still new and sealed even!  Perfect for the little Bo, Luke, or Daisy in your house.  I will probably trade it to my buddy who sells stuff on ebay if it's worth anything.

Some of you may remember these back in the late 80s early 90s. Matchbox had the Superfast Machines, Hasbro's Record Breakers, Hot Wheel's Super Changers, etc. This was a thrift shop buy and is complete in the box. No missing or broken pieces and the stop watch still works. All but one of the stickers are still on the sheet unused. I had a similar set as a kid and had to get this damn thing. Fun to play with then and still is now.  :lol:

That was me, I flipped most of it, sold a couple of Saturns and three Dreamcasts and just kept the games and yes about 5 RF's from Sega.  I got a couple of Sega Guns and Fishing Rods and In The Hunt for the Sega Saturn which is a Run and Gun Sub Shooter made by the same folks who made Metal Slug.  So my cost is nothing (I'm actually up)

The down side is I have 7 Sega Genesis Consoles now, 2 32X's, 2 Sega CD's, 2 Jags, 2 SNES, 3 N64's (2 boxed in the Block Buster Rental cases).  I also got me a Master System with a bunch of games which I didn't have before.  5 Game Gears, sold 2, and about 40+ games, instant Game gear collection, did I mention it was all free by now?  The VGA converter for the Dreamcast rules as well, got two sold one.


It's ALL about the bundles.

Last Resort is easy, anyone should be able to clear the first loop with a week or two of practice.  People find it difficult because they tend to just lock the Unit as a shield and mash the fire button.  This is not how the game was meant to be played.  You have to learn how to use the Unit properly and play purely offensively,  it's an all out attack kind of game.

I'm a sucker for zelda anything...

I had to have the zelda edition 3ds xl.  Although it comes with a "digital" copy of Link Between Worlds, I wanted a physical copy of it.  Toys R Us was doing a buy one get one 40% off sale so I capitalized on that.   It surprised me how much larger the 3DS XL was over the regular one....  kind of frustrating since I already had the regular one...

Oh and Super Mario 3D world is BOSS... totally worth buying a Wii U for.

No obi, but everything is in pretty decent shape.  I also got it very cheap compared to what it normally goes for.

I got a couple posters as well.  I couldn't really scan or take pics of them, so I grabbed the pics from the site I got them from and made a collage.

Bubblegum Crisis/Crash posters on the bottom row


Next an ebay auction I won for some E3 promo merchandise from 1998

A bunch of misc stuff here.  Flyers, small posters, knick-knacks.  There is a lot to go through and I only browsed for now.  I really bought the whole thing for one part...

Thunder Force V, and a marketing or press release thing also came with them all.


Finally, most importantly, a special package arrived from Santa:

It's a pretty good port of Spartan X considering the hardware.  Activision did some cool shit on the 2600.

Heh, well I check JP sellers for LA goodies almost every day except weekends at this point since I'm pretty close to finishing that collection.  This Edo was on YJA and wound up going low I'm pretty sure because there was no obi.  There was a Blue Chicago Blues up on Surugaya this weekend that I wasn't fast enough on and someone else got though.  :(  Oh well, patience in all things, I'm sure I'll find the last couple of games I want eventually!

Hello everyone!!! I am BACK! I know I was lost for a long time and that was my fault entirely. I made some very poor choices and sad to say I got very badly physically/mentally hooked on hardcore drugs and other things. I forgot/lost myself, who I was, and I was a completely different person as well as in utter hell physically/mentally. I lost all care/like for everything that used to make me me, or that I enjoyed. I sold off 95% of my gaming collection and other things(my HDTV and anything of value) for less than 1/10th of what it was worth. I hit below rock bottom.

To make a long story short I have been and still am working hard but I got myself into help I needed and I have worked hard and I have bounced back from basically what few are able to do. I am getting to be my old self again and I am re-gaining my interests/likes/hobby's and such and it feels great! What I am mostly into/working on now(besides myself and staying clean and such) is on my own terms and using my own slow methods I am teaching myself JAPANESE. How to speak/read/interpret it. So...I AM BACK EVERYONE!!!! And I couldn't be happier!!!

Thats the short version. I am not going to keep going on about that as this thread is for other things...so lets get onto it. Now that I am back I am enjoying gaming a great deal. What I am mostly interested in, is Japanese games. So since I got back into gaming I have narrowed my interests down into only my most liked/favorite things and I am only going after what I want and like the most. Which is Japanese PS2/PSX games(mostly RPG's) and PC-FX. Sadly I do not own a PC-FX again yet but it is up there on my wanted/to buy/trade for list. I want one very badly and hope to get one sooner than later.

Anyway, I recently placed my first order with Rakuten, and my order went through and it CAME today..so onto the good stuff, here are pics of my goodies that I aquired/got from my Rakuten order today!!!! I am very excited/happy that it came and I am loving every game, though one of them I am waiting to start until I get the first game as its the sequel.

Onto my haul...:

Thats my order! I look forward to adding pics of more goodies I get in the future. the Tales of Destiny Directors Cut Premium Pack was not easy to find and if you are a Tales of fan the remake of destiny is well worth playing as its very very well done. Great game to remake IMO. Also the premium edition(japan gets the best stuff) the artbook that comes with it is sexy and awesomeness.

Thats it for now! Glad to be back all and enjoy my Japanese Haul!!!

I know exactly where you are coming from, OSG, as I was there myself pre-2009. Coming from the depths of hard drug use to the heights of retro gaming is like being pulled form hell into heaven. I'll be forever grateful to God for this gift of all things retro and I will love and defend it 'til my dying day.

Well said, and thanks for the good words man. You hit the nail on the head there. I feel great now and I am enjoying myself and gaming sooo much more than I even used to. And learning japanese on top of everything is as I said very slow going but fun and its allowing me to enjoy games I never got much out of trying to play them w/ 0 knowledge at the time.

I am going to keep moving forward and I am going to keep getting more games I want/like as well as playing them.

I have Tales of Destiny 2 JP PS2 on the way(only true sequil to a tales of game which happens to be the best and most deserving one so I cant wait for this), and I have Final Fantasy X International JP PS2 on the way which is very exciting as well. I wont be playing my copy of FFX-2 International+Last Mission until I beat FFX International as it seems only proper...heh.

Anyway, thanks again for the understanding and kind words Mathius. Means a lot! :D

Wow Mathius you don't seem like an ex-hardcore drug user to me. OldSchoolGamer you look familiar but I'm not *quite* remembering you completely, but congrats on getting off that stuff anyway! It's your choice if you wanna be on or off that stuff and I'm glad you guys both chose "off". :)

Joe- I used to use this site a lot when it had its open chat. Since that was shut down I only lurk here and rarely post anymore. Been a member for a long time though. I am also a member at neo-geo.com, shmups.com, racketboy(recently), atariage(made a new account there but been there for awhile), used to be a longtime member of gametz.com until they banned me permanantly, im a member at assembler, and probably a few other sites I cant remember at this time. Probably why I seem familiar to you :).   

I had to go through hell to make the call to get off the shit. I was into stuff hardcore and not light stuff like weed or coke/meth. I had to hit lower than rock bottom and I had to die once, and almost die a few other times as well as be cast out from everyone and become homeless and sicker/go through torture worse than what you'd go through in an Iranian prison. But Thanks for the good words/vibes joe! I really appreciate it. I feel like a new/better person and gaming is much fun for me now as well as learning japanese and enjoying it and playing games I enjoy(japanese RPG's). It is fantastic to be a person again, regaining love/respect, and enjoying things. I cant stress/say that enough.

Anyway, I love the package I got today(pics of my games in the previous page) and I cant wait to add to it again!.

Currently I am searching for a job, but at the same time I am looking hard for the last system I care to own/want. So....

PC-FX WANTED!!!! If anyone has any leads on one(I dont care if its a bit yellowed as long as it works and has necessary cords) I am very interested as I strongly regret selling the one I used to own.

Anyway, I feel like I am starting to ramble so I am going to end it here. Thanks again Joe and believe me, not lots of people get to the point I was at and come back, but you'd be surprised just how many people around you and or that you know who are discrete enough and use/abuse shit in secret so no one is the wiser. heh.

Back to gaming...and again...will post in this thread when more japanese goodies come my way :D :dance: :dance:

Did some things I am not proud of during the last decade. My best friend since 8th grade ran off with my girlfriend (and married her) back in 2000, got diagnosed with Crohn's and Ankylosing Spondylitis a few years later, which all sent me into depression. I tried to kill the pain starting with pot, then it escalated to other worse drugs. I got clean in 08 once I had the pain caused by my diseases under control through medication. Everything else fell into place after that.

Hey everyone!

As promised, here are pics of my small haul I got in the mail today!!! There isn't much here but these JP PS2 games were very high on my want list and the JP PSX game was a surprise(freebie) and what a surprise it was!!! :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: I LOVE IT as i've wanted to play/beat this game for years now and never got a chance due to the outrageous cost of the US version.

So without further ado...here they are:

(http://i1333.photobucket.com/albums/w625/OSG86/Rakuten Order/101_0143_zpsaf81cdbc.jpg)

Once I beat Valkyrie Profile I will HAVE to get its sequel though I hear its no where near as good as the original. But we will see about that when the time comes!

I am very happy to post these pics as now I have most of the JP only release Tales of games(including one sexy as hell LE Premium box set) as well as both JP only releases of FFX International and FFX-2 International+ Last Mission!!! :dance: =P~ =P~ =P~

The last 2 days have made me one HAPPY gamer!!! What I really find special about FFX International is not only that you can play it completely in english(if you choose) but its got all the extras(dark aeons etc) the US version never got so its literally the only real full COMPLETE release of the game. Took me a LONG time to track that game down especially with the special DVD it has with it, but the wait was worth it for sure!! :-({|=

Alright, thats all I have to add today. IF/when I get more goodies i'll be happy to post them up on here for everyone to see/admire. Hopefully some people here can understand/appreciate the love and admiration for these games that I have myself :pray: .

It has been a very very long time since I had any reason/want to post anything in here, but now that I am back I will be adding more love in here more often...that's for sure!

Lastly, and finally, I would love to hear opinions on all the games I have posted over the past few days as well as updates from the rest of you. What cool stuff that you've wanted have the rest of you gotten lately? LETS SEE IT!!! 8-[ :clap: :-k  :!: :!: :!:

I remember doing this trick bitd. I may be mistaken but I don't think it has to be Strider that is used. It can be any game. Maybe I am remembering that wrong.

Oh I had it backwards lol....I know that there is a trick where you power on the console with a certain game, wait for the SEGA logo to appear, pull the game out with the power still on, then insert Altered Beast. You should then get unlimited lives. :)

Brain Boy - Used for hacking Pokemon games I guess.  You can also back up GB saves which is kind of cool and helpful for when I replace Pokemon batteries for people.

Monkey Island Madness - Monkey Island 1 & 2 on CD with Redbook soundtrack, score!

Star Wars Arcade - But it was so cheap!

Madden 95 - Will be used for a repro probably

Microsoft Gaming Mouse - Has adjustable DPI buttons and stuff too.  My current mouse is pretty damn old so this will be a nice upgrade.  I had to do some major cleaning on it, ewwwww.

Joe Montana Sports Talk Football 93 - A CIB Genesis game for a couple bucks is a no brainer.

A NOS Metal Slug conversion kit. Complete with (unopened)MVS 1-slot, complete cart, marquee, sticks and buttons. I only wanted the MVS since I'm down two ATM. Gonna sell off the MSX since having matching serials and all the goodies should get some n-g member a woody. Buttons and sticks are a bonus, saves me 20 bucks the next time I need to order replacements..

Latest batch from all over the place. All completes.

(http://www.lewisjeff.com/temp/games-dec-2014-1.jpg)

Samurai Shodown Sen was an Amazon black friday deal for like $7. Killer is Dead was on clearance at GameStop, brand new sealed for $10 (!). Adding it to my stack of Suda games that I've yet to complete, heh.

Also just got a box o' cases and manuals from Majors. Might be auctioning raffling off some DS goodies once I can acquire the missing cards.

EDIT: I mean RAFFLING, not auctioning. Don't want the eBay mafia to come after me.

Very much a game to put on freeplay and do shots with.
No free play as I found out but a quick wire to service and p1 start fixes that. I ran through it to test and you are correct, it is very cheap/unfair(i.e. quarter muncher). You must find three hidden items to get the "good" ending.

Belts on the Famicom Disc Systems of all type go bad.

The discs can get dust, dirt, etc in them as they don't have a shutter. They're also magnetic media and can have problems relating to that.

I have the Ys anime and... You're not missing anything. It's OK, but it fails to capture the atmosphere/characterization/tension of the iconic first few games.

If you are like me, you are going to watch it at some point, out of curiosity. I had been warned, by trusted folks, that I shouldn't set my expectations high..and this helped me appreciate it rather than resent it.

Perhaps I am harsh, but I feel like this was a major miss, considering the source material.

I did not care about any of the characters, so every character was simply going through the motions...such a damn shame.

Perhaps I can't be objective.

MINOR THING: I liked how the DVD menu sported a familiar border. It was a nice homage to the series.

Most of these games were picked up in a really cool place called, "Horseshoes and Hand Grenades".  Great classic and vintage store down here in Virginia.  They sell basically anything old but huge gaming section as well, they even have a boxed JVC X'EYE.  Very cool but a lot of the stuff is very expensive, like $150.00 for a Loose Virtual Boy with Mario Tennis, $180 for the X'Eye.  Check this place out.

Back to the games I know Duke is a pile of excrement but I am such a fan of the genre I have to check it out.  I'm also curious of Borderlands so I got the first copy to see how it is, some Saturn Gaming classics as well.  Good haul.

Never bothered looking into this game before, but due to the above I gave it a look. Not impressed with the audio at all. Even when the sound effects are not drowning out the music, it just isn't that strong soundtrack wise. Not terrible either, just seemed standard fare for the system. Visuals were pretty impressive though.

Nice haul! 

I can't vouch for how well it plays on a console controller, but I spent a ton of hours playing through Borderlands on the PC.  Like 50.  :shock:  It did, however, take a couple of tries to get into.  When I first picked it up, I felt very "meh" about it.  But I tried it again a few months later and got totally sucked in.

I haven't picked up the second one yet, but I hear it's better in every way.

Lego Batman (PS2): $.2.50

Phantasmagoria Guide (PC): $. 70 cents

Edit: There was a HUGE stack of NES games and a few other SNES games, that were all under $1, but people grab them quick!

NES titles like Castlevania 1, Mario, and Godzilla 2 (!). And the other SNES games were Lagoon, Mario Paint, and a few others. Man...Don't worry no Earthbounds or any Squaresoft games.

Godzilla 2 for a $1.  whoa.  I have always wanted to try that game.

recent arrivals...

Sweet!  Black Tiger made a very impressive faq for FEOE: Kabuki Den which you can find on GameFaqs.  I've  been slowly working my way through that one.  The cutscenes and overall production value for the game are through the roof!


All of it shipped for about $20 and both Eden games have maps too.
Thought it was a good deal. And I got a second copy of zero 4 for a raffle.

This is the first I've heard of Eliminate Down's music being satisfying.

Depends on the stage, but overall I like it.  There aren't too many games that go for full on pound the synth keyboard with a hammer approach.  Not something you want in every game, but I find it fits here.  The part where you fight all the space jockies is just badass imo.

Eh, the Neo was barely still alive when the PGM came out.  And the PGM was mostly popular in China/HongKong.  PGM was used by Cave for DDPDOJ and Espgaluda, but as stand alone boards, not carts.

Dracula X: Rondo of Blood
Mizubaku Daibouken
Bomberman 94
Detana Twinbee
Shadow of the Colossus

The first two games I have wanted to obtain for years. Will try to post pics when they come.

Sadly, I despise Shadow of the Colossus. I honestly wish I could like it one bit.

Ah, that's disappointing to hear... It really is a fantastic, epic game. You gotta work past initial doubts, beat that first giant and press on. Sure, the whole experience can be reduced down to traveling around on your horse from one point to the next to battle colossal giants, but the immersing of the world, its beauty, the tricks to understanding how to defeat each giant, it gets really fun and challenging. The story has a bit of a twist in the end to boot. And the last boss...man, that was *truly* one of the greatest boss battles I ever experienced/saw in any game, arcade or console (NES, SNES, TG-16, PS1, to PS2 where my console EXP ends)! The way they pulled off rendering him so gigantic is impressive and having to climb up all the way to the top of him, not get shaken off, it was a blast: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-UXa1_D_W7VE/Tn2O2ClKLKI/AAAAAAAAAeY/tzh4ruK_z18/s640/Malus+-+final+colossus.jpg

You should be able to beat it in 3-4 days if you work at it. Anyway, I can't highly recommend this game enough. If you have a PS2, this is one of the greats that came at the end of its life and it's something you should finish the system off with. This game came up not that long ago right here ( https://www.pcenginefx.com/forums/index.php?topic=14350.msg288022#msg288022 ) because of a raffle. As mentioned there, it was used in an Adam Sandler movie which is what led me to finally grab it out of my collection where it sat and give it a go. Glad I did.

Treats from Sparky and other stuff too. :) If anyone is interested, the Alien versus Predator Gold Box for pc is new/sealed and is some special version of the gold box that includes the strategy guide. The normal Gold Box evidently did not include this. Would consider selling or trading it for Sega related stuff, as I already have another copy of the game.

Peer Pressure Art Print

I also picked this up from NISA but it's weird, the copy they sent me is kind of jacked up.  It's got bend marks on it on the edges and face, there are some smudges and tape on the back of it.  I'm not sure if it's their last copy or what.  It's a shame since it's such a nice print too.  Hopefully customer service will fix this for me.

I also got Class of Heroes 2 Kickstarter Edition from DragonmasterDan in a trade!

Plus I was at Whole Foods the other day and saw this:

I got these, mostly commons but the Doom 32X is brand new in the plastic.  Ghouls & Ghosts is amazingly good in terms of playability over the SNES.  I actually enjoy the NES version over the SNES version.  The Soccer Game is actually quite good but I mostly play Neo Geo Soccer.  KOTM2 is a giant piece of shit I just got it because I didn't have it.

Nothing great, but they were cheap enough so I usually pick up MOST games like that.

That's the primary two - there's an adapter available to use these on the Dreamcast for Virtual On: Oratorio Tangram.

Supposedly you can use a Saturn -> PS2 adapter or a mod to use these on the PS2 as well for the Sega Ages 2500 Virtual On Collection.

I can't decide between Genny 6-button and Saturn compact...both amazing controllers.

Standard PCE gamepad is also quite nice of course.

I'm a huge huge SMS fan and I have to agree - not a huge fan of those pads. I actually use the weird left handed arcade pad instead of the standard SMS pads. Those buttons just don't feel right.

It's the D-Pad I have an issue with.  Also IMHO the SEGA 6 Button controller is the best controller ever so if I can use that over anything I would.

The d-pad sucks on the SMS controllers...primarily because it's a sloppy SQUARE which feels imprecise and ill-defined for precision maneuvers. I love my SMS, and I can cope with the sloppy square, but it's a shame Sega didn't devise something better.

Tough call, but model 2 SS pad wins by a hair for me.

SMS pad is ass <period> But there are a few Master System games I've found that require it when using the PBC on my CDX(Penguin Land?).  I do not know how you can use the Control Stick, Jeff...it's all sorts of wrong.

The first non-pack-in game I got for my SMS was a copy of Outrun that came in a blister pack with the arcade stick (from Best Department Store, remember that?). I started using the arcade stick from then on with every game. Guess I was raised on it. I'm left handed too, so there's that.

When I was young I tried my best to like the SMS pads but couldn't. The buttons were sticky (rapid firing in Thunder Blade was a chore) and the D-Pad had so many problems it gave the 5200 controller a self esteem boost.

Believe it or not the reason some games don't work with a Genesis pad has to do with region-checking. Basically the games toggle the select line in the cartridge port and are supposed to reset, but the affected games don't and thus they hate the Genesis pad.

These are the affected games:

Alien Syndrome
Bomber Raid
Great Volleyball
Montazuma's Revenge
Penguin Land
Tennis Ace
Shanghai
Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?
Wonder boy in Monster Land

You can patch them and run them on a flash cart to work with the Genesis pad.

Sweet! 

Once I become comfortable at my new job, I'll bring in some obey. Currently I only have a picture of my wife and I on our wedding day, a picture of my son and I, a wind-up robot toy, and a chunk of petrified wood.

I did have my "official" photo taken while wearing my obey tie, so hopefully that'll be noticeable once the pic goes live. :)

This is actually my home office, heh. I do have aforementioned random PS2 games in my drawer at work - another retro-gaming coworker of mine gifted me a loose copy of Pretty Fighter for the Super Famicom for Xmas. I immediately gifted him back a copy of Muppet Adventure for the NES in retaliation.

If you started the game with the SMS pad and then paused and switched to the genesis pad would it work?

You'll love the SMS. It has its charms that no other system has. Even with its standard PSG sound. But, I would upgrade to FM sound if you can. There are forum members here who can help.

10 Game Gear games at a total of $22.  Originally the guy wanted $40 but half the games wouldn't boot on my fully working unit so I convinced him to give me a discount.  Then I spent some time at home cleaning them all up and getting them working.  Glad to finally have a copy of Tails Adventure along with others I was missing at a non-gouge price!

Been a while since I posted here, but I got me a Famicom Disk System!
(http://smaman.files.wordpress.com/2014/01/20140122-181803.jpg)
It also came with the box! (Not pictured)

Got 5 games with it (pictured right) and it works perfectly with three of them:
Super Mario Bros. 2
Exciting Basket
Famicom Grand Prix

Two of them are giving me problems though...
Moero Twinbee (Boots up and plays fine until it tries to load stage 3, then it error 27's)
Zelda 2 (Doesn't load at all. Error 27's at the boot screen.)

The person I got the system from says he just replaced the belt. So no idea if it's the disk system or the disks themselves. I'm tempted to just buy an extra copy of each to be sure before I risk mangling this thing trying to fix it. Any suggestions?

The person I got the system from says he just replaced the belt. So no idea if it's the disk system or the disks themselves. I'm tempted to just buy an extra copy of each to be sure before I risk mangling this thing trying to fix it. Any suggestions?

There's a really good chance it's the disks themselves, they can (and often will) go bad. You can go here if you want to try having them rewritten: http://www.famicomdisksystem.com/disk-writing-dumping/


Thanks for the hookup. Sent in the service request. I've actually been reading through this guy's tutorials, so it'll be nice to get an expert's opinion on this.

Riddle of the Sphinx is a good one.  Played that a lot as a kid.  Towering Inferno I never played, but seeing the game makes me want to watch the movie again.

One Atari game I never see and haven't seen picked up is Plaque Attack.  I want to buy a 2600 just for that game.  Nothing special to it, except for the nostalgia factor.

Picked this up off Craigslist last night.  I have a couple of the games but the big one I wanted was Marvel Vs Capcom 2, I've been trying to find a copy of that in the wild for a long time.  No manual, but the discs are all in amazing shape so the hunt for one is on!  Yet another Dreamcast though, at least this one looks to be in quite nice shape!

A new adapter for my model 1 Sega Genesis actually, haha. When I got it, it came with a third party adapter with two cords, one for the SNES, one for the model 1 Genesis and NES. Well the NES/Genesis bit broke off at the wire (very shoddy wiring job, extremely light and flimsy), and so I figured it'd be more beneficial to have an actual Sega adapter.

Congrats - Xexex is an awesome game. Just make sure you have a TV / Screen that can handle the oddball sync rate. And watch out for any leakage on the Sound custom (in your picture in the upper left side of the PCB) since these damn customs tend to fail  :| :?.

1. I don't have a PC-FX yet (but that shouldn't be a problem).
2. My Duo-R doesn't read CD's anymore  :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:.
    I replaced the laser, cleaned & greased the rails & gears, adjusted the pots,

Just joined and got excited about my first PC Engine GT.
 
  At Auction a couple nights ago, I had my eyes on a PC Engine GT (Japanese) at a local Thrift.  So I went to the Auction, and about 20 minutes in to it, the Computers crashed, causing all of the Silent Bid amounts to be lost forever.  The PC Engine was already at $160, I was going to go to $200.  Comes with about 15 Games. 

 Anyways when it got around to the PC Engine to be bid on, the Starting bid was $30!  Obviously I bid... and no one else did!  So I managed to haul a PC Engine GT and almost 20 games for just $30.. be jealous :twisted: 

 So the PC Engine GT works, but it has a cracked cover screen.. not the screen itself, but the piece of plexy that covers the LCD.  Anyone know where to get a new one?  It also has no Sound, but very fixable.  I'm looking for a full cap replacement purchase so if anyone can point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it.  My first NEC PC Engine GT... since my GF is Japanese all games have been translated for me.  I can't get my pics to load..

I am assuming "Hana to Hadaka" is actually Hana Taka Daka which is a good looking shooter, obviously Bomberman '94 is good as well. The Naxat dodgeball game is great and the SF II port is good.

I think the Power Drift port kinda sucks but its been awhile since I've played it.

  I gave Hana Taka Daka a whirl, and I can see now why it's worth close to $70, it's just amazing.  Think like:  A shooter where you play a flying rooster, in a Mega Man X2 type of scenery, constantly scrolling with different options of where to fly, wicked upgrades and constant enemies.  I don't understand how this thing made so long ago can process the graphics... boggling considering the Genesis or SNES would have a lot of lag with this type of game..

 Not sure if this game made it to a North American version?  Def worth a look.

Yep, this was due to an Electronics Boutique 7 day no questions asked return policy. They didn't want the game to be so easy it was easily beaten and then returned as a free rental.

After getting it I recapped it, replaced the original power jack with one compatible with a model 1 Genesis/SMS PSU (and appropriately rewired it), and added an NESRGB board. Here's Rockman 4 in glorious RGB:

Manbow 2 is a Euro made homebrew.  It's decent for a homebrew, but a far cry from Konami's masterpiece original.

Contra is really derpy and weird as hell, but a lot of fun imo.  Just don't pay too much for it.

Nice!  I got Bravely Default the other day too!  The bonus stuff is pretty nice, and I like the way they kind of make like a try to hide the artbook in it all.  The book feel totally reminds me of the Kingdom Hearts LE they did a couple years back.  My only qualm is that it's not a full soundtrack, since the soundtrack is pretty awesome!

I had preordered 2 copies to hedge my bets (one from BB and one from GS) and neither one was too horribly dinged so I was pretty happy.  Managed to sell the extra on Craigslist for a $10 profit instead of just returning it too, yay!

Was traveling out of state and when meeting up with Munchiaz, hit an indepedent game store where I found the Famicom "New Ghostbusters 2". It's different than the US NES Ghostbusters II. Pretty good game actually, it also came out for NES in PAL territories.

I got it off ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/360795733989

Chinese seller but it didn't take too long (about a week) to get here, I put in a best offer of $10 and he accepted. 

Right now it is a bit of an experiment because I fully charged a pair last night, then installed them in a VMU and dated it.  I'm going to turn it on every day and see how long they last in there since it think the mA on these is less than a regular 2032.  It will also be nice to put in my Saturn as well and the Sega CD can also use LIR2032s as replacements.

Yup!  I played around with it last night and it's kind of a cool visualizer.  I had a couple albums from BT I put in and it did a decent job just on the random setting.  There is a lot of other options I think but I didn't really go through the manual much yet.

Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc Limited Edition [Vita]

I was pretty worried about Danganronpa getting trashed in the mail after I saw how NISA has packed it recently, but my copy looks nice and mint.  A little bubble wrap around it would have made me feel a bit better about it all though, I almost hit it with the scissors trying to cut open the tape on the box.

For the first time ever, my local thrift had SMS carts.  Just to memorialize the occasion, I had to buy all three.  Got all this for $12.

I was pretty worried about Danganronpa getting trashed in the mail after I saw how NISA has packed it recently, but my copy looks nice and mint.  A little bubble wrap around it would have made me feel a bit better about it all though, I almost hit it with the scissors trying to cut open the tape on the box.


I keep hearing people mention Danganronpa. What exactly is it?


Crazy ass visual novel with a bear for a teacher that you must kill....um and um ever seen Battle Royale?

I so want a vita, but I don't know if I want the classic or the upcoming slim.

ok so this is in the same vein as 999 and virtues last reward. I see its even made by the same team. I played 999 and really enjoyed it. Only got the bad ending so far. I own virtues last reward, but i haven't gotten around to it yet.

The Vita is def getting some really good games as of late. I may need to pick one one. I've seen some pictures of the original model (OLED) and the new model (LCD) and the original one just looks so much better.

The original is all "piano black" style. The new ones do look "cheaper" in comparison, however they have some unique features. The charger is standard mini USB, it has 1GB of built in memory, battery last longer (because of the screen) and it is lighter and more ergonomic.

I love the "expensive gadget" feel of the OG "piano black model."  THE SCREEN IS GORGEOUS too. I haven't seen the LCD in person yet. 


If I go slim, I'm going for the lime green one.

Nando beat me to the punch on the description, but the LE has the following stuff:
Limited Edition Includes:
- Danganronpa™: Trigger Happy Havoc Limited Edition box
- Danganronpa™: Trigger Happy Havoc for PS Vita
- Soft cover art book
- Single disc original soundtrack with jewel case
- Collector's Box


I also finally got some stuff from Japan just today that I ordered for my birthday almost a month ago, plus a couple random bits.

Popful Mail clear file folder.  (I can always use more Poppuru in my life)

Cotton for PC Engine with obi and reg card

Keio 2 for Saturn with obi.



Finally, a super interesting thing I found.

The seller of the PCE Cotton I picked up also had this teacup for sale.

I've never seen one like this before, there is a well known version of the teacup for Panorama Cotton on the Mega Drive, but I haven't been able to find anything on the net about this one. 

Any ideas?  I've never heard of a teacup for the PC Engine version, but there's mention of one for a Saturn version on Wikipedia.  Also, my apologies for the watermark, I'd never seen this before so I felt like putting my handle by it would be a good idea.

Pretty fun so far! Crazy to see a game this early in the Fammy's lifespan running this fast! Still need to figure this game out though.

Got some neat birthday stuff too I'll post about as soon as I get a picture of it.

Comparing my disk with a couple of NES version videos I found on YouTube. There's a bit of music channel loss when bullets get fired and such which I didn't notice in the FDS version, which makes sense since the FDS has an extra sound channel or two. (Didn't hear any FM stuffs in it though)

Also, the first level music seems to be down a key or two. :P

Zanac FDS and NES are very similar games.  There are some tiny differences though, enough that Compile included both roms on the Zanac X Zanac release for PS1.

Zanac EX i(MSX 2) s based on NES version, but graphics are much improved.  Though overall I still prefer the original MSX1 Zanac with it's mono-chrome sprites.  It plays better imo, sub-weapons don't have levels, just pick the one you want and kick ass.

I've gotten quite lazy with my pic taking, but this is one I've wanted for a loooooooong time :)

I am too lazy to search for the Strider thread, so I will say I picked it up today for my XB1 here.

After playing about 90 minutes worth, I will say I am quite impressed.  The worst thing about the game is the fact you need to use the analog stick, instead of the d-pad, to control Strider.  Otherwise, for the price paid, I am pretty happy.

For all the people who want a retail release, I am fairly certain the game definitely has the "digital" feel.  It is a high quality digital game or course, but it isn't the type of game that needs a full retail release.

Due to the tablet controller being the primary thing used, I am going to hope there isn't too much waggle...

However, I just bought DK: Tropical Freeze today because Toys R Us has a sale where you buy that game, you get 40% off another game.  HOWEVER!  I went online and it actually let me add 3 games to the cart at 40% off and then you can do in store pickup too.

I was able to add Wind Waker HD $30, Rayman Legends $23, and Scribblenauts Unmasked $23.  Wonderful 101 just missed the cut, but that one was $17 with the deal.  Also, it seems that Wii Fit U doesn't count for the deal, which is too bad because 40% off a $90 game would be great.

Also, if they don't have any of the games at the store near you (as was the case for me with Rayman and Scribblenauts), then those games will ship free.

There are no waggle controls in DK: tropical freeze. Also you dont have to use the gamepad controller. if you have the Wii U pro controller, you can just use that, which is what i have been using. There are actually no gamepad features. If you use the gamepad and are playing the game on the TV, the gamepad screen is just blank

I'm afraid this is going to be the case more and more.  I wouldn't be surprised if they do a Wii U run without the gamepad entirely to bring the cost down.

They would have to allow you to access the shop and other things with the pro controller. Because right now, you need the game pad to go to the eshop, or to view system settings

I've got a ton of crap that I need to photograph and post up...hopefully this week. Latest goodie is a minty copy of Keio Flying Squadron from our buddy xelement5x. Thanks man!

Mega CD? Sega CD? the Saturn sequel?

Mega CD. The Sega CD version has gone into the realm of insanity pricing. Way too rich for my blood.

I picked up the sequel last year at MGC but haven't had time to run through it yet - it looks awesome.

I've got a Mega CD setup. I also have a region modded Genesis + SCD that *does* play Annette Futatabi and Ernest Evans, though I hear that both of those games don't have region lock, hence they work.

The latest roundup - it's been a while. All are CIB:

1.) (Xbox) Outrun 2006 Coast 2 Coast - trying to complete my "every Outrun, every console" collection...this one is surprisingly rare, though not too expensive if you're patient. Got a decent deal on this one, though these jerkoffs put the sale stickers ON the actual cover insert...argh.

2.) (Xbox) Toejam and Earl III

3.) (PC) Bioshock 1 - this has been on my need-to-play list for a long time. Think this was like $3 shipped. This is the first PC game I've bought since Half Life 2.

4.) (SNES) Yoshi's Safari - for the MGC 2014 Lightgun Area

5.) (DC) Virtual On: Oratorio Tangram - also for MGC 2014; we'll have a dual Twin-Stick vs. setup for this one. I'm hoping I get lucky and come across a Dreamcast Vs. link cable at some point between now and April. Anybody got one they want to sell? ;)

6.) (DC) House of the Dead 2 - also for MGC 2014 Lightgun area

7.) (NES) Duck Hunt - ditto

8.) (PS2) Monster World Collection - took this one for a spin earlier and it's fantastic. M2 really did an awesome job with these retro compilations.

9.) (DS) Feel the Magic - quite possibly the most bizarre system launch title in history

10.) (PS1) Silhouette Mirage - You guys persuaded me to pick this one up...always been on the wishlist, though I was really after the Saturn import version. This'll have to do.

11.) (PS1) RayStorm
12.) (PS1) RayCrisis - got a good deal on both of these together...I actually had no idea that they were related to Layer Section.

13.) (Mega CD) Keio Flying Squadron - Thanks xelement5x!
14.) (Mega CD) Microcosm - little bonus item that xelement5x threw into the Keio box. you rock man!

...and that's probably my last set of purchases until I head to the Midwest Gaming Classic and give CDamm and Carlson all my money.

Awesome haul, Jeff! I am hoping to find a copy of that Wonder Boy for PS2 at MGC. Can't wait!

Take a hair dryer to that sticker on Outrun and see if you can warm the glue up any. Don't melt the clear plastic though. ;)

I got two CEs of Chronicles from Namco and Amazon.

Also got a standard edition off of Amazon which was free, and the CE came to $21.

CE from Namco was regular price though.

So far I got the Namco one today and the number was 8822

I posted an unboxing video:

Either that or just find a replacement box. The real problem is when the seller puts the label in the artwork, I hate when people do that.

Tales of Symphonia Chronicles: Collector's Edition [PS3]
Guardian Legend [NES]
Bushido Blade 2 [PS1]

My copy of Bushido Blade 2 is missing the back insert, so if anyone has a complete copy and would be willing to scan both sides of the case insert for me I'd be very appreciative!  :)

Do you mean Bloodlines on Genesis?

Alisa Dragoon was an early Genny game, 1990. So long after the first few 8-bit Castlevania games. But a few years before Bloodlines.

Yes, Bloodlines.


I really like the familiar/pet switching ability on Alisa. It's been a bit since I've played it, but I recall it having a bit of a Castlevania like vibe to it.

Argh...my copy of Geograph Seal for the X68000 appears to be floating out in the pacific somewhere. That's what I get for not using EMS.

Retrogamecity on eBay sold it to me, and to their credit I got a full refund, no questions asked.

This is literally the first item in 15 years of eBaying that I've never received.

Did you go SAL Small Packet (Under 2kg) or Surface?  I'm going to do my first test on surface shipping shortly, I've never had issues with SAL though, except my own impatience.

Just did the cheapest option which I believe was surface. I've done it a million times with Yamatoku, even though it takes 2-3 months depending on the item. With certain things though it's just worth the extra 10 bucks EMS to get it pronto.

Finally escaped the house for a few hours this past weekend - working OT and sick (cold/flu) for last 2 months has limited my ability to acquire new fun stuffs.  It was a small haul of RE Umbrella Chronicles for Wii, Iggy's Wrecking Balls & tremor pack for N64 and a Y's III for SNES.  Should keep me busy-ish.  Oh and a White IPA with lemongrass from Howe Sound brewing.  That was very tasty.

Today I discovered that they made Puzzle Bobble for the N-Gage.  So I had to add it to my Puzzle Bobble collection.  Maybe one day I'll find an N-Gage to play it on.

The writers of these books are pretty well known throughout the Turbo community. They were editors of Video Games and Computer Entertainment named Lee Pappas and Andy Eddy, I believe. I'd still like to find some copies but haven't really looked too hard yet.

Onscreen is Daimakaimura for the Super Gr... I mean Sega Genesis. I also just got that Game Genie to use as a passthrough so I could play it on my US console.

Up against the screen we have Wrecking Crew for the Famicom and Winter Heat for the Sega Saturn.

Today I purchased a loosie of Dragon Saber for $10 shipped off teh bay.  Pretty decent price for a game I've been wanting for awhile (I love Dragon Spirit).

I already had a US Saturn with some US games. But I like that Japanese console look and feel (that, and it's also good to have spares). It will sit next to the all mighty Duo-R

Got a few games with it:
Cyber Core
Blazing Lazers (onscreen, obviously)
Double Dungeons (sold to me by forumite Majors... thanks dude!)
Takin' it to the Hoop

Console works great, but I think the controller's busted, at least, this isn't supposed to be the female end, right?
(http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7449/13074672624_bd3090c47d_c.jpg)
So, I guess I'm in the market for some TG16 controllers! Or at least an adaptor to use my PC Engine controllers on it.

Looks okay. At least it looks just like the DIN on my Genesis. Do they commonly get jammed deep inside the port? The seller said they hadn't used it in over 10 years and didn't have the video cable to test it, so who knows. Incidentally, it's from Canada if that has anything to do with it.

Yeah, my TurboStick does that as well.  I guess the glue NEC used has finally dried up after all these years.

SmaMan you'll need a new controller.  That one is pooched.  It isn't some R@RE Canada version.

2)  It's actually a pretty good game.

3)  It's cool that they're still using him as a mascot after all these years.

4)  He's cute.

5)  The variety of stuff he's appeared on/in is just crazy.

The little things in baggies are brand new RGB amps from Broken over at Neo Geo. Can't wait to install them!
The PCE games were from a trade with Mathius and the cards are a bonus surprise! Thanks a bunch dude!

Glad they made it! Have fun trying Darius Plus in both the SGX and PCE to see the differences.  I'll pick up Darius Plus again some other time. I wish I had it around when I was sending out SGX stuff to Joe for Game Sack.

Here is my trade with Punkic. I got SSS again after selling mine to Bucci for a worthy cause. And the cards were a great little bonus I wasn't expecting. Thanks man!

Picked up the MegaMan X2 SFC cart locally for $15. Not too shabby for a game where the US version has gone to stupid.

It's actually a Sub Boss.  A guy in a Jester Suit comes out with a Kangaroo on a leash and a whip.  You have to fight them both or if you take out the Jester the Kangaroo runs away.

Title: Re: teh "what did you buy today"-thread
Post by: SuperDeadite on March 16, 2014, 12:38:10 PM
Forgotten Worlds isn't playable with this setup.  These are 12 position digital rotary switches.  Forgotten Worlds uses true analog spinners.  The original Capcom spinners have a button built in as well, so they can be pushed to fire, very rare these days, I've seen original 1 player panels sell for $500.  An original FW pcb is very expensive as well.  So no I don't.   I'm quite happy with the PC-Engine port which does have full analog support too.

I use the Micomsoft/Sharp Cyberstick which was created by the President of Micomsoft who was a huge Afterburner fan and wanted proper controls at home.  The XE-1AP hand-held controller also works.  But for PCE you need the XHE-3 adapter which is much rarer then the actual controllers.   Using the full size stick with FW takes some time getting used to, but after proper calibration and a little practice it works quite well.

The main purpose of these old analog controllers is for X68000 use, but there's a hand-full of PCE/MD/MCD/32X and even a few FM Towns and PC-98 games which support it as well.

Here's my old PCE Analog demo vid.

So...to sum up, a hard to find controller with an even harder to find adapter.  AWESOME!!!  The XE-1AP I mean.

For anyone interested - Galloping Ghost Arcade north of Chicago has an original FW cab in perfect working order, with the spinners. Makes playing the game a whole different experience vs. the consoles.

I was scoping out YJA auctions for awhile until I found this one, I think I paid about 8000 yen (~$80) in auction, but after fees and all it was probably a bit under $100 all said and done to get it to my door.  I bought a couple other things so I was at least able to combine international shipping on it too.

I surprisingly found a Turbo related item at the thrift store.  It's been about 7 years since I've seen anything Turbo in the wild, so I'm always super excited to find anything now days.  Of course I don't actively search all the time. 



Check out the big Turbo score...I snag this badboy for a cool $2. :mrgreen:

I picked up Mass Effect 3 for the XB360 yesterday for $10 @ Walmart.  I loved the first 2 so at $10 it was a no-brainer.  I'm already a few hours into it and enjoying it quite a bit.  I'm assuming it's a chain-wide sale, but if anyone would like me to pick one up for them and ship it your way, just send me a PM.

Just bought a NES. Just waiting it to arrive with a crappy pack-in by the seller (Double Dribble). I also bought a 5 screw gyromite in anticipation but I got my ass owned because it wasn't a converted famicom board. At least I can use it to do some repros.

Yeah, you have to get a close look at it, or be able to feel the weight difference to spot one with the famicom convertor in it.

Yeah, I've been on the lookout for one for awhile and I haven't been able to find one in the wild yet.  I've been told the key is being a 5 screw, and having the pins off the PCB lead a certain way.

Correct. Though some PAL games don't run at all or run glitchy.

It's far easier to tell by the weight. The carts with the convertor in them are much heavier, particularly at the bottom. Also, Gyromite is far from the only cart with the convertor. A lot of the black box games are known to have them. ALL copies of Stack-Up have the convertor as well, but that's also the most difficult black box cart to obtain loose.

Title: Re: "The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena"
Post by: NightWolve on March 24, 2014, 06:35:16 PM
After recently renting the third Riddick movie (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riddick_(film)), I kind of thought about the videogame that was made back when the 2nd one was released in 2004, "The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Chronicles_of_Riddick:_Escape_from_Butcher_Bay)." After searching for it, turns out a 2nd videogame was made in 2009 which I never heard about, "Assault on Dark Athena (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Chronicles_of_Riddick:_Assault_on_Dark_Athena)." What they did for the version that I wound up buying is include the first game also, but the upgraded later "Developer's Cut" which has two new areas and new enemies, so a great two-for-the-price-of-one deal here!

Haven't bought a new videogame in a long time, think the last one was "Metal Gear Solid 4" for PS3, and I still don't have a PS3 console... Heh. But yeah, I liked the Riddick movies, own the first two and the anime ("Dark Fury" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Chronicles_of_Riddick:_Dark_Fury)), and thought I should own the PC games finally to get the extra added story that they provide. The third movie was straight-to-video quality, and it was nice of Vin Diesel to fight to get it made for the fans, so it's the thought that counts (Universal didn't wanna make another, so Vin Diesel said give me the IP Rights then so I can do something with the series, etc.! A deal was struck where he traded out his appearance fee for a cameo in one of the Fast'n'Furious movies for the IP Rights to the Riddick franchise (http://entertainment.time.com/2013/09/04/how-a-smart-deal-got-vin-diesel-the-rights-to-riddick/), so pretty badass if you ask me!). So yeah, it was low-budget and nowhere near as ambitious as the 2nd, so you get what was paid for obviously, but nice that another one was made nonetheless...

Order link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/121295172198

Price with S/H: $7.79 (new) - Was instantly shipped, got to me in 3 days after order, so good seller!
Atari sells it $19.99 new, so eBay for the win in this case!

Nightwolve, I am with ya man, the ridick movies have all been entertaining and I played throw the games a few years back and enjoyed them. And just like you never heard of the first release but was equally good to play and a cool bonus they added.

Worth playing man :)
Oh mine was for the ps3 and looked really good, so I can only assume the PC version will even be better

I beat Butcher Bay back when it was originally released. Still own it for PC too. I am pretty sure it was around the time I was running a Socket 754 Athlon 64 and a Geforce 6800 AGP unlocked via a bios flash. Those were some good times back then...

Picked this up last night via an estate sale/auction on eBay.  I was looking for an extra CD unit, and this one was perfect.  All I plan to keep is the CD ROM2 itself, everything else will be cleaned/tested and offered up here in the forums at some point.

So I read something about prices in Japan going up because of Taxes, how does this affect the import bidness?
Title: Re: teh "what did you buy today"-thread
Post by: SamIAm on April 01, 2014, 04:17:31 AM
Sales tax increased from 5% to 8% on April 1st.

However, it's technically a "consumption tax" and only applies to goods being consumed in Japan.

So anyone purchasing Japanese goods outside of Japan is supposed to be unaffected.

OUCH! is that for everything? food, clothing etc? Sucks to live in JP , damn.

No doubt we'll see some prices rise overall.

Yes, it's for everything. It's going to go up to 10% in October 2015, too.

I'll have to resist going off on a full tangent, but the government needs it. Japan's debt level is the worst in the world, at over 200% of the country's GDP and over 20x its yearly tax revenue, plus the government has spent more than twice what it's brought in for several years in a row. Everybody knows that a currency crisis is coming, it's just a question of when.

The good news is, if the yen tanks, the cost of imports will plummet for US gamers.

And so, back to games.

I'd hate to see what will come of Japan, once the US is no longer able to protect it form its neighbors. Add to that a shrinking population and no real sustainable energy propositions, they are gonna go the way of the elfs!

My nes frontloader just arrived... what a shitty connector. Funny thing is that if I slap the top of the console the cart makes a perfect connection with the slot or something like that and it stays forever until I remove the game, it's more funny than my old PS1 that needed to be upside down to work lol.

When it arrived I first saw the Double Dribble cartridge, when I saw the "PAL-B" written on it's label I said "OH SHIT" really loud lol. Luckily the console was NTSC, the seller just removed the CIC check from the console. At least I think it is NTSC, but unless he changed the motherboard inside the console that's unlikely. Do you guys know how can I be sure?
Title: Re: teh "what did you buy today"-thread
Post by: Punch on April 01, 2014, 08:45:33 AM
I used my head to find out if my nes is US version: I just saw what signal the console was uploading, it turns out that it was PAL-M. Nintendo officially distributed the US NES here with an onboard PAL-M image signal transcoder. :)

Once you play, it prepare yourself for 30 minutes of fast-paced mediocrity!

It's not a bad game but in no way does it live up to the insane hype it gets. It's basically a Blade Runner: Choose your Own Adventure book.

Once you play, it prepare yourself for 30 minutes of fast-paced mediocrity!

It's not a bad game but in no way does it live up to the insane hype it gets. It's basically a Blade Runner: Choose your Own Adventure book.


30 minutes?! And that does appeal to me but I could see how it would be a letdown

I'm pretty sure Snatcher is longer than 30 minutes, but I know you can beat it in a couple hours at least.  I've never beaten the game myself.  Mainly because I started played then stopped until I found a Justifier.  Then once I got a Justifier I never found the time to go back.  Space Adventure Cobra is supposed to be another game with a similar playtype (also on PCE and Sega CD) if you're into those games.  I highly recommend CDRs though.

Is Space Adventure Cobra in English? And is it relatively cheap?

Space Cobra Adventure is very expensive for the sega-cd beside it's dub being a joke.Though,like with snatcher the sega-cd doesn't have copy protection you could all ways burn it.

Nightwolve, I am with ya man, the ridick movies have all been entertaining and I played throw the games a few years back and enjoyed them. And just like you never heard of the first release but was equally good to play and a cool bonus they added.

Worth playing man :)
Oh mine was for the ps3 and looked really good, so I can only assume the PC version will even be better

Ah, nice, oh hey, you'll be pleased to know, because of the decent success of the last movie, it's been official that Vin is up for another. Maybe he'll get a better budget this time, but yeah. He took a big risk to get this 3rd one made and it was lucky that it paid off (it is weak). Glad to know there are some meaningful fans of the series here. I've watched Pitch Black many times, it has pretty good replay value.

I beat Butcher Bay back when it was originally released. Still own it for PC too. I am pretty sure it was around the time I was running a Socket 754 Athlon 64 and a Geforce 6800 AGP unlocked via a bios flash. Those were some good times back then...

I have 2008 hardware with 32-bit Vista, so I should be alright for the first one which came out in 2004, dunno about Athena (2009), but I'll see, haven't installed it yet. Looked up my specs real quick:

AMD Phenom™ X3 8450 Triple-Core Processor (2.1 Ghz I think?)
ATI Radeon™ HD3450 Graphics Card, 256 MB and DirectX® 10 support
System Memory: 3072 MB DDR2 SDRAM

I'm not positive on this, but I could swear that the version of Butcher Bay included with Dark Athena runs on a revised engine that they used to make DA, so you may run into issues if that is the case. Really though if your GPU is a HD3450, even the original version of Butcher Bay would prob have issues if you tried to run it maxed out settings wise. HD3450 just isn't very powerful at all. Even though the original Butcher Bay is from around 2k5, it was one of the more hardware demanding titles for that time, and sadly the HD3450, other then offering DX10 support, just cant really compete with any of the old higher end GPU's from even 2k5.

You could prob swap out your power supply for something like an Antec in the 400-500 watt range and put a Geforce GTS 450 or GTX 550 in there and see a big leap in performance in games for around $100-120. That Phenom X3 8450 will still run a few games released now and most games from 2k11 and prior well enough and medium settings to high settings if the graphics card is decent. I'm not sure if you'd want to go to such extremes though just to play a couple games. It's only worth doing if there is more out there you want to play.

so what are the full specs of your new rig?

Title: Re: teh "what did you buy today"-thread
Post by: SuperDeadite on April 07, 2014, 12:38:10 PM
Not quite finished yet, but for now:

Zalman Z3 Plus
Corsair HX650 (Gold)
Asus H87-Pro
Core i3 4340
8gb DDR3 1600
MSI GTX 770 Lightning
32gb SSD (for booting/windows only)
1TB HDD for other installs.
LG Super Multi DVD drive
Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit

Still needs a floppy drive, capture card, and a 2TB HDD just for video recording and editing but those will wait until next month.  Currently very happy with this rig, it runs anything beautifully, and thanks to the Asus mobo plus tiny SSD cold start to desktop is under 5 seconds.

Those SSD's are awesome. I have one at work, the boot times rock for sure.

I'm totally lost on the last few sets of chips.  What's the difference between the i3 and the i5 chipset in that category? wouldn't you get better performance video editing with the i5? assuming you are using software that can access the cpu efficiently.

I think I'm going to convert it to a MAME cabinet just for vertical shooters. Although it's not an original cabinet or anything, I'm still going to keep it where I can easily switch it back to a standalone Raiden 2. I also got a free Shinobi. The cabinet is trash and the monitor has some burn-in but the board works and the monitor looks fine when playing the game.

Anyone have opinions on running Turbo games in a MAME cabinet? i.e. Are there arcade equivalents that are better or what games would be good in a stand-up setting?

While I was unfortunately not able attend MGC like all the cool kids, I did have some pretty decent luck this weekend!

First the relatively run of the mill, mainly PS1 games with a PS2 game as well.  Just stuff I found at thrifts and my local media store.

(https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2822/13831234404_65ecc7938f.jpg)

Resident Evil: Survivor
Resident Evil 3: Nemesis (+ Bonus Disc)
Army Men: Sarge's Heroes 2
Cool Boarders 2001
San Francisco RUSH
Chessmaster II
Pandemonium
Tenchu 2
Ape Escape 3 [PS2]

All pretty decent stuff, I've especially wanted a copy of Pandemonium for awhile.  Now I just need a Saturn version.


Next, the slightly stranger.  These were both found at the thrift
(https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7389/13830898225_3d21709877.jpg)

Issac Asimov's ROBOTS VCR Mystery Game
Nintendo Gamecube BEAT PAD (DDR)

I don't have  DDR pad for Mario mix so this was an easy buy for a couple of bucks.  The VCR board game just screamed my name so I had to grab it.  Now it'll be time to dig out the ol' VCR!


Finally, the flippin' awesome: Sega Edition :D

(https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3719/13831222984_e0628d39b4.jpg)

Defcon 5 [SAT]
Herc's Adventure [SAT]
Rise 2: Resurrection  [SAT]
Mega Man 8: Anniversary Edition! [SAT]
Three Dirty Dwarves [SAT]
Arcade's Greatest Hits  [SAT]

Mega Everdrive for Genesis


So, I went by a retro game store in my area I hadn't been to in awhile.  Their selection is a lot better than when they originally opened up, but when I asked about Saturn stuff they brought a big stack of games out.  All these were in there, no cracked cases and while the discs have some scratches they still play great. 

Best of all, their prices were awesome compared to feebay!  I didn't get them all for like $5 each or something, but everything was a price that I was happily willing to pay.  I've been specifically looking for a copy of Mega Man 8 for quite awhile, so to find one in my area made me ecstatic.  I had to work really hard to keep my game face on while checking out.  They even had a loose Winning Post as well but I don't need that game.

Last but not least, the Mega Everdrive from the group buy.  Haven't had a chance to play with it yet but I'm stoked to get some time in.  There are lots of pricey titles and homebrew I've always wanted to try out and now I finally can.

I know I used to buy most of my games locally. Around 2008-9, most places started leaving games unpriced and would check eBay before giving you a price :( They would still offer it at a better price and you could talk them down a bit but...damn.

I'm lucky that there are a couple places near me that just flat price stuff.  The thrift near me normally has games from $1.99 to $5.99 depending on what number they decide to make up that day, but if you can wait a couple weeks that color goes on sale for 50% off. 

The media store is pretty much flat pricing on retro stuff though: $4 for GB/GBC/GBA, $5 for NES and most PS1, and $8 for SNES and N64; no Sega stuff though :( They're hit or miss on stock, since a lot of collectors check the store, but if you swing by when someone has sold stuff off you can find some nice stuff.

Highlights are a Laseractive W/ the sega pac and a sharp x68000 compact flash setup, thanks to Beemer, and a Sharp twin famicom with a handful of carts and a couple FDS games.

and something of a last minute pick up here, i was helping tear down the musem hall and one of the retro pc guys asked me if i wanted a monitor.
for $10, i couldn't refuse a PVM :)

Last, but certainly not least, there's a little something handmade by the daughter of our very own turbokon (totally awesome, couldn't wait to get it loaded and in use):

I picked this game up sealed for $8 recently at a local game shop.  They had about 20 of them, all sealed for the same price.  I still didn't open it, I just bought it because it looked pretty cool and was cheapo.

Now I am going to have to crack that seal and give it a shot!

I had recommended RotD in another thread that was talking about Snatcher/choose your adventure games.
It is good. The opening scene was a bit frustrating for me, but once you get it, there is some fun to be had. Im surprised its so cheap. I picked it up for $4 about a year ago.

I think Rise of the Dragon was reprinted, thus causing there to be a lot of copies to be made so it's still kind of easy to be found.  This really only applies to the jewel case and not the cardboard box version in my experience though.  It's definitely a neat game though, I've actually got a DOS version as well.

Yep, there was a cardboard and jewel case version of it. I remember buying it for 4.99 at Toys R Us in the jewel case back in the day.

I got my copy in some sort of buy 2 get 1 free deal at TZD back in the day then sold it off with all my goodies in 2008.  (Currently not in game library!)

I actually have fond memories of it as it helped me get an A in science class when I did a project linking technology with science in bringing my Duo to class to show it off.  I basically played it for 20 minutes showing off the animations and let the narrator do the talking.  :)

It's such an inexpensive Sega CD title, and super fun!  I love the point n' click games for consoles (Loom, King's Quest) and this one falls in line with the best of them.  Also, I really dug that the main character was voiced by the same guy that was Leonardo in the 80's TMNT series!  I need to give it a good playthrough again.

hahaha. yeah it is much fun. simple arcade feel gameplay, nice colors, no pop-ups what so ever. and also has that kind of some sega super scaler game atmosphere :)

Quote
the cartridge is encased in a regular Vectrex case and has a color Vectrex-style label. There are no switches on the cartridge for selecting games. Instead, games are selected via on-screen menu that allows you to scroll through several banks of titles and select the game you want to play by hitting the fire button.

The way it works is that the first time Vectrex is powered up with this cartridge inserted you are presented with a game slection menu. Using the controller's buttons you select the game you want. From that point that game then stays selected until Vectrex is reset.


Awesome!

2014 MGC Haul. Thanks to Nectarsis for Override and Atomic Robo Kid. Not pictured Final Fantasy II from Bartre. Thanks brother! Sorry for the blurry pics. The majority of these I have been after for years. I've just been biding my time and being patient.

A quick note on that Mega Drive. It looks like it has never been used. I haven't ever seen an old console look so untouched. It's flawless! I think the Japanese version of the MD looks the most esthetically pleasing. So sexy!

I gather the Mega Drive suffered revisions with crippled audio circuitry also, no? I have only owned one in my lifetime and it was a early model 1, so this is something I have wondered about but never had a chance to look in to for lack of buying any others.

I asked the seller if he knew anything about that but all he said was to Google it. I took a chance and as this one a pretty early model and was just so damn sexy I couldn't pass it up.

MGC 2014 Haul. My goal this year was to go light on the purchases, since Elevator Action Returns is all I was really looking for. I had Carlson hold it for me, then I came back drunk during the Saturday night party, and here's what that turned into:

Yeah I'm just too paranoid to take a chance on one these days. Most sellers I have asked simply have no idea how to check since it wouldn't be as obvious as it is over here in telling the Genesis Model 1 revisions apart. Anyway, they do look damn cool though in or out of the box, so if you got it at a good price then good for you. I forgot if I sold or traded mine off. Its been a quite a few years at least.

I might just use my newly acquired Mega Everdrive for Alien Soldier. Snatcher is one of the few games I'd pay big (read: stupid) money for.

Is there any differences between the arcade Elevator Action Returns and the Saturn version?

To my knowledge the board revisions in the JP Meg Drives should be the same as the US Genesis. So a VA2 Mega Drive will sound the same as a VA2 Genesis. It will also have the same crippled pre-amp and only output the LEFT channel through the mono outputs instead of summing both left and right. A VA6 or 7 (I forget which is the final revision of the model 1) should sound just as broken as the US version.

You need to open it up to be sure. But here is a nice guide:
http://www.sega-16.com/forum/showthread.php?7796-GUIDE-Telling-apart-good-Genesis-1s-and-Genesis-2s-from-bad-ones

If it boots straight to the game (without the licensed by Sega nonsense) then you're good. But even units with that screen can still be good.

For JP Mega Drives, look at the SEGA logo on the bottom right corner of the console (it's right next to MEGA DRIVE). Does it have an ® after the A in SEGA?

Motherboard revisions:

-With an ® next to the Sega logo: VA0, VA1, VA2, VA3, VA4
-Without an ® next to the Sega logo: VA5

Bottom line, either way you should be good as long as it says AV Intelligent Terminal/High Grade Multipurpose Use. If it doesn't, it can still be good just as long as it's not a VA7 (the last version that comes in that shape).

Looks like yours is the SEGA® model so you're definitely good!

PAL version maybe? Could be the Japanese MD version too, I guess. I should've checked. During tear-down at MGC we all raided Jeff's bag to see what he scored. :mrgreen:

Wildfruit - it's the "Asia" release which I assume is Korea, Thailand, Singapore, et al. Chris threw it in with the Mega Drive as a freebie because he's cool like that. Go buy his stuff! http://www.windygaming.com/

Mati - the magic number is 600 pixels wide. I always try to process images before I upload 'em here because I hate the scrollies

My wife got me this. It's the Japanese version, not sure if there's any differences. I haven't played this since I was a kid on my super game boy late at night with the lights off. This game freaked me out when the Metroids pop out of nowhere with their creepy music. Great game, can't wait to play it again!

I grabbed some random stuff this week, no pictures though since I've been a bit busy:

5 GBA Manuals off CL: Zone of Enders, Zelda LttP, Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire, and Mario Advance 2

My local Toys R Us is having a spring clearance sale so I dug around and got:
5x Wii U Hori Screen Protectors
Wii U Cradle
PSP Vita Cradle
Wipeout 2048 [VITA]
3x Kinectimals bundle with a FAO Schwarz Bear
2x PS3 Sharp Shooter Accessory gun things for the Move

I got my childhood game gear back from Kieth a little while ago recapped and working great! 

As a teen I tired to trade it in but because the caps were bad it had no audio so the store wouldn't take it.  It was because of this defeat that it was saved.  For some reason I hung on to it all these years.  I finally got off my butt and got it all fixed up.  I'm so happy to have saved a small piece of my childhood :)

Awesome! I still have mine as well.. needs new caps for audio and video unfortunately. Its a shame the game gear had such a shitty screen, basically the only thing holding it back from being a great portable system in my mind. It has a very good library of games of which are still affordable!

Yeah the screen is very poor.  I find it better if you play in low light.  I used to stay up as a kid after my mom put me to bed playing my Game Gear because it had a back light so I could see in the dark.  I was so impressed with the back light as a kid lol.

I had a GG with Master Gear Converter for some years and sadly let it go because the screen sucks so bad. Recently picked up the At Games SMS/GG 30-in-1 and was presently surprised. Controls are flimsy, but if you're looking for portable SMS goodness with decent screen, it's well worth the $20-30 bucks.

Unfortunately, no. But it has an AV output and the game selection isn't bad. Puzzles, shooters, Alex Kidd, Fantasy Zone, run and guns, and most of the Sonic games that didn't make it to the SMS. My only gripe is no Shinobi, no Outrun, and, obviously, no third-party games. The lack of a battery backup prevented them from adding any real RPGs, but Dragon Crystal and Hi-Tech World kind of fill the void.

Finally managed to get a complete copy of Cameltry.  Besides being an amazing port of the arcade game with some extra features, every copy included an unusual contraption which turns the mouse into an analog spinner.  Simple but works very well for this game, as well as other analog 2 axis games like Arkanoid 2 and Metal Orange EX.

Finally managed to get a complete copy of Cameltry.  Besides being an amazing port of the arcade game with some extra features, every copy included an unusual contraption which turns the mouse into an analog spinner.  Simple but works very well for this game, as well as other analog 2 axis games like Arkanoid 2 and Metal Orange EX.

It appears that the silver knob on top rotates (spins) the white circular platform below the mouse...so, if you have a rubber ball mouse, it will register the movement. Correct?

Pretty interesting.  (http://junk.tg-16.com/images/pcgs.png)

I have never seen or heard of either of these PS1 games, so for $5 each, I grabbed them.

Also picked up Lords of Thunder and Bravoman on the bays.


Spider is a weird but fun game.  I played it back in HS and picked up a copy about a year ago, but all I really remember is that you can equip your spider with bombs and other weird stuff while platforming.  Oh, and other spiders explode into flames.

I always thought that "Cameltry" was perhaps one of the most stupid names for a game. I was gonna put it in the X68000 episode until I found out that it's on the Super Nintendo as On the Ball or something like that. Great game despite the dumb name.

I played Cameltry back when I first bought the Taito Legends collection for PS2. The game almost looked like its arcade board had SNES Mode 7 tech as part of its architecture.

I disagree   I think the Wii U is better than most people give it credit for.  For that matter, there is quite a bit of good stuff on the Wii.  I wouldnt consider either system a failure.

You are right sir... by numbers the Wii was a huge sales success. But there are no statistics to show who still actually plays the thing, or who sold theirs.

Mine got a corrupted hard disk sector which caused me to lose about 15 Wii store games

That's exactly how I've been feeling lately whenever i get the urge to buy a Wii U. I always think to myself, "well i could get that Turbo game I've been wanting to play instead" and then have some change leftover in the mix of things.

Nintendo still makes quality handhelds though.  I can't remember a game being as good as A Link between Worlds in the last decade.

Hell I crossed the 200 DS mark recently and I still find new and interesting things for the system.

Anyway, got me some imports today.

Just got a box from Japan with some goodies I'd been waiting on!

First some PCE Games:
(https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7358/14089025884_ec423788a1.jpg)

3 Copies of F1 Circus
3 Copies of Fire Pro Wrestling 3
Tanjou Debut (w/ obi, reg, insert)

All were cheap cheap cheap in like the 50 yen range.  I grabbed the dupes so that I can gut the cases for some of my other games that I have hu/manual for but no case.  Unfortunately I didn't realize Fire Pro Wrestling 3 uses the later style Arcade Card cases.  At least it was only a couple bucks lost in all.


Next some old and some new:
(https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7423/14065458356_956d788e93.jpg)

Two posters, both B3 in the 4-fold style so there are creases, but they were also pretty cheap.
Double sided Arland Series poster - Atelier Rorona & Totori on one side, where the back is Atelier Meruru
Ys IV: Dawn of Ys Poster - This looks like it's from a copy of PC Engine fan maybe. 


More posters, of the GameArts kind:
(https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2907/14089026624_92043e4d78.jpg)

Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete Promo Poster
Lunar 2: Eternal Blue Promo Poster

These posters were a bit more expensive than the others, but still a tiny fraction of what people want for them in the US.  You can tell they're used but there still no pinholes and they look really nice, they are also a solid B2 (19.7" x 27.8") in size.  I love Lunar stuff when I can find it cheap, these were no exception.

Kirby Squeak Squad DS
Castle of Illusion Genesis
Wolrd of Illusion Genesis

I will go back the final weekend to hopefully get some last day good deals and to cry because my favorite place from my childhood is closing.  It has been a great thirty years at least

 Also picked up Alex Kidd in Shinobi World off eBay on the cheaper side of that games price, because it is missing the case insert.  Game has been on my watch list a long time!

I'm pissed. I bought Metal Slug 3 for Xbox thinking it was one of the backwards compatible titles with the 360 and its not. I just about spit my beer out last night when I started up the game and got a nice error window pop up! Grrrr...


Metal Slug 3 IS on XBLA. :)

Do the other SNK Xbox games work on a 360 too?

I know SNK vs. Capcom doesn't work on 360, which sucks because that's really the one game I really want from its library. (and they wonder why few people have used the 360's backwards compatibility, amirite?)

My slow boat shipment from Japan finally came in after almost 2 months of waiting.  This is the first time I've shipped this way and while it was pretty darn cheap compared to sending something EMS the time was killer.

First off, the reason I sent it slow boat:

(https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7364/14121443306_a9c850dbef_z.jpg)

Boxed Japanese Sega Saturn (white) with all the inserts, paperwork, and necessary hookups.

Extra Sega Saturn White Control Pad, didn't expect it to come with a box!

Sega Saturn Backup Memory Cart



Then some LaserActive MegaLD love:

(https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7420/14164594863_fd058df09a_z.jpg)

All are Japanese games, but play in English as well.

3D Museum (no 3D glasses; but disc, instruction sheet, and reg card are in good shape)
Hi Roller Battle (complete with obi)
Rocket Coaster (complete with obi)



Then some misc stuff

(https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7430/13957890028_364bed7774_z.jpg)

On the recommendation of Dan I grabbed this Lunar Art book which is phenomenal.  Nice artwork, lots of color, and lots of pages.

Tricky (Kick) for the PC Engine, I've heard lots of good stuff about this game and had a blast playing it for a bit last night.

Tarako - A Falcom Drama CD with Popful Mail, more stuff for my Popful Mail collection.

messa!! Tiny Treasure Box - A doujin music album based on Falcom stuff.  I mainly bought if for a Popful Mail track, but the Ys tracks are much better on it.


and this embarassing addition
(https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5075/14121340916_2017fafa6d_z.jpg)

Osouji Sentai Clean Keeper for the Nintendo Wii (Limited Edition)

This LE isn't too bad, it comes with a cell phone charm set, unopened CD, and the game with all the documentation

This game however... makes me ashamed.  I picked it up with the slow boat stuff since I figured I could probably sell it for some bucks, but I feel like some kind of smut peddler selling it. Essentially the goal is to clean "grimy spots" off the girls on screen using the Wii remote.  But of course, would I expect anything different from Idea Factory?

A good link about it: http://www.siliconera.com/2008/03/12/how-to-erase-angry-in-dirt-osouji-sentai-clean-keeper/


Finally, so this post doesn't end in (as much) shame, I picked up a new figure for my desk.  Everyone's favorite PC Engine heroine.....
(everyone and favorite are debatable)

Wonder Momoooooo!

The disk won't read or spin... at least not very much. (See this video: http://instagram.com/p/oGohb-HAGv/)
If anyone has any suggestions, throw 'em at me.
Here's everything else I got:
Neo Geo CDs
King of Fighters '94
King of Fighters '95
The Way of the Blade (That's the Japansese "Last Blade" right?)
Garou Densetsu 3
Shin Samurai Spirits
Famicom
Pinball
Macross
Itadaki Street

Pop it open and take a look at the lid door switch. It is a pretty fragile part and may be broken. If so you can either replace it or just solder a connection of its solder joints to make it register as permanently closed.

Gotta bag 'em all!  :P

These are Clearbags CD case size BD3 (http://www.clearbags.com/6-1-8-x-5-1-8-cd-case-bag-protective-seal-156x130.html).  They are "Protective Closure", which means that the sticky tape is on the bag, not the flap, so the CD case doesn't stick to the flap when inserting or removing it.

I also picked up some jewel case box protectors from videogameboxprotectors.com (http://www.videogameboxprotectors.com/store/4569532134).

 -Soundtrack Sampler Disc
 -Double-sided Collectible Poster
 -DLC Code for the Caim Costume, based on the protagonist of Drakengard
 -DLC Code for a prequel stage featuring Zero’s sister, One as a playable character
 -DLC Code for the Giant Baby Hat

Plus Pre-order bonus goodies:
1.) Japanese VO DLC
2.) Nier Costume Pack

Mugen Souls Z
Limited Edition Set Includes:

 -Full color, hardcover art book
 -Tear-resistant poster (16"x26")

Nier really is the best of the games in my opinion, and quite overlooked.  I'm hoping Drakengard 3 continues in a similar vein to that.  The soundtrack for Drakengard 3 is done by Emi Evans again so that alone had my attention.

00 steel wool, 3 pack of brushes, steel, brass, plastic. I pulled this out of the storage crate with the cd deck still attached. Found the cords and a controller. Fired it up with a near destroyed Sonic CD and it played like a dream. It looks like shit right now but I'm happy it works. I decide I need to clean her up a bit. I find this inside :-( That's why the brushes and wool. After I spruce her up I'll show the finished product.

(http://static.gamesradar.com/images/mb/GamesRadar/us/Features/2008/04/Every Gamers Nightmare/IMG_1233--article_image.jpg)

I've owned one since back when they were new, but I've thrown it so many times, destroying it, then re-assembling it, sometimes with scotch tape and/or superglue, that I decided it was finally time to retire it and get a new one. :)

I love those pads. I usually put the regular SNES purple buttons in there though because I like how two of them are concave. Not sure why as I use the regular SNES pad that the colored buttons went into from time to time and I have no issue with 100% convex buttons. The parts are pretty much 100% identical to the original SNES pad with interchangeable parts and all. I usually despise 3rd party d-pads and buttons but this doesn't really use 3rd party parts, so #winning!  (LOLOL remember that neither do I).

Don't bother with the shielding on the Genesis, its not needed. You will just be wasting your time trying to get all that rust off.

Yeah I figured as much. Surprisingly the cd unit had almost none. The Genesis was to the point where it was spreading to the PCB. It looks like I caught it before any real damage was done. Anyhow I have the finished product, just need to take some good pics.

Most excellent find, Evan! I was actually teaching someone the other day about the historical significance of R-Type and how the arcade version was actually distributed by Nintendo. What a crazy coincidence that a friend of mine just happens to get one a day or two later. :)

For new englanders...neacf.com is a great resource. Kind of like this place, you need to be approved access first. I brokered about 15 cab sales on that site a few years ago.

There is a guy in Mass. who had a whole warehouse full of machines. I have his contact if anyone is interested. Not sure if it's still there but I scored a very nice Neo Geo 4 slot upright arcade with 6 games for $500. When I went to pick it up he even tossed in a few more and had a whole damn closet full of MVS carts. He also had pinballs and other machines, might be worth a look.

That sounds like Fly's place, he's definitely a cool guy to know. I have dug through that same box of MVS carts, too bad it's a 150 pounds of SamSho's. The only cabs I see when I'm there are the usual Dynamos, Williams/Midways, and Neos. He did have a beautiful Robotron tabletob there once....of course he wouldn't sell it off :(

I got Splash Lake when it was on clearance at Toys R Us. I only bought it because it was cheap. It was around $7 or $8 I think. Definitely worth that. Surprised it's not worth more than $30 or so since I believe it was a fairly late release.

I have to question Wikipedia's Splash Lake's release date. It was released without a cardboard box which means it was released by TTi. The Duo wouldn't be out for a while longer. I got my TurboGrafx with CD in June of 1991 and the Duo wasn't even a thing. The Super System Card was still a ways away. Ys 3 was released after June 1991 in the US.

Did a little garage sailing today. Nothing big but it has been awhile since I go something.  The Wii games were a buck a piece and the 3 Gamecube games were a buck for all 3.

The Scart cable was free :D  The bag of Star Wars Miniatures was $7

I also bought a new shelf for my games.  The person wanted $10 but I talked her down to $5.

Been on a OBEY drought for a long time now.  Finally found Last Alert for a non stupid price.  When the hell did this this game go up to $50?? I've been wanting it for sometime now so it's great to finally get it and not overpay :D The sports games were only a few bucks I added in to make the shipping costs worthwhile.

You know what, it was probably the Japanese release date (my bad), wikipedia didn't specify which region the release date was for and according to them YS III was released in June 28, 1991. Sorry for the confusion!

Just got back from vacation and had a couple things waiting for me:

(https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2940/14143356049_9262ba0a0c_z.jpg)

My raffle Win from PCEFX!  An awesome looking Famicom to NES convertor from jperryss.  Now I need to pick up some fami carts!

Plus a couple random DS pickups:
A Witch's Tale
Battles of Prince of Persia

I've been trying to get a decent copy of A Witch's Tale for awhile since I passed on one a couple years back.  I'm a big NISA fan and was missing this.  Unfortunately it has quite a heavy smoke smell to it :(  The PoP game ended at 99c from the same seller so I figured it wouldn't hurt to grab for the combined shipping. 


Next up though, some major LaserActive love!!!

(https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5490/14329308184_8ac3303554_z.jpg)

-Blue Chicago Blues (JP) with obi, reg. card, and instruction sheet.

One of my HOLY GRAILS for the LaserActive of the last several years.  I've been looking for a copy for awhile that didn't make my wallet cry and got lucky as sin here.  It was a blind buy on condition and it looks great.  There is some slight rubbing on the sleeve but other than that it looks like new.  I actually originally thought I was getting the MegaLD version but this showed up instead.  I will not complain, and can't wait to get to play it ;)


-3D Museum (JP) with obi, reg. card, and instruction sheet.

Yet another copy of 3D Museum, again with no glasses.  But it's the ROMROM version and I wanted to try and grab it if I could.  Got a nice deal on it and was another blind buy on condition.  Looks pretty decent all things considered.  I'm not sure if the ROMROM version came with the heavy outer sleeve either, but this one is lacking both that and the 3D glasses.

And less interesting but still neat:

(https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2928/14143356709_fe11ae87fd_z.jpg)

Triad Stone (JP Copy) with obi and instruction sheet.

Zapping TV Satsui (JP Copy) with instruction sheet and reg card.

The Zappingu was a blind buy on condition and has no obi, I can't complain too much though since the price was great.  I have a US copy of Triad Stone but found a good price on this JP copy and wanted one with an obi finally.  POWER POWER POWER!

I want to see that baby in action! Can you make a video of it? You gotta!

Just got back from vacation and had a couple things waiting for me:

(https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2940/14143356049_9262ba0a0c_z.jpg)

My raffle Win from PCEFX!  An awesome looking Famicom to NES convertor from jperryss.  Now I need to pick up some fami carts!

Plus a couple random DS pickups:
A Witch's Tale
Battles of Prince of Persia

I've been trying to get a decent copy of A Witch's Tale for awhile since I passed on one a couple years back.  I'm a big NISA fan and was missing this.  Unfortunately it has quite a heavy smoke smell to it :(  The PoP game ended at 99c from the same seller so I figured it wouldn't hurt to grab for the combined shipping. 


Next up though, some major LaserActive love!!!

-Blue Chicago Blues (JP) with obi, reg. card, and instruction sheet.

One of my HOLY GRAILS for the LaserActive of the last several years.  I've been looking for a copy for awhile that didn't make my wallet cry and got lucky as sin here.  It was a blind buy on condition and it looks great.  There is some slight rubbing on the sleeve but other than that it looks like new.  I actually originally thought I was getting the MegaLD version but this showed up instead.  I will not complain, and can't wait to get to play it ;)


-3D Museum (JP) with obi, reg. card, and instruction sheet.

Yet another copy of 3D Museum, again with no glasses.  But it's the ROMROM version and I wanted to try and grab it if I could.  Got a nice deal on it and was another blind buy on condition.  Looks pretty decent all things considered.  I'm not sure if the ROMROM version came with the heavy outer sleeve either, but this one is lacking both that and the 3D glasses.

And less interesting but still neat:

Triad Stone (JP Copy) with obi and instruction sheet.

Zapping TV Satsui (JP Copy) with instruction sheet and reg card.

The Zappingu was a blind buy on condition and has no obi, I can't complain too much though since the price was great.  I have a US copy of Triad Stone but found a good price on this JP copy and wanted one with an obi finally.  POWER POWER POWER!

That witch's tale looks interesting.  Couldn't find a video review of it, but I have been a growing fan of NIS. 

Where did you find it?  I typically see complete games going for $49-64. With lose games for around $25

I found it off ebay.  I'd been waiting awhile for a CIB auction to show up and this one finished for about $30.  The cart is slightly discolored but I don't really mind that much, and I can always swap for a better looking loose cart if I ever come across one in the wild.  The one I passed on a couple years back was $15 and I still kick myself a bit for not grabbing it as it looked nice and minty.

If I had to guess it is in relation to the shojan jump managa series which has had many various managa on it from blech to dbz to I think even astro boy.

I also see a famicom twin. Was that a new pick up as well?

looks like it's a collection of games based on the Jump collections? I recognize most of the characters on the cover.

I have a Sharp Twin. Your biggest worry should be the disk drive. Finding someone who can do repairs if needed on that fickle thing can be difficult. I know of someone who has devised a new way to service it but I am not sure he's done experimenting with it yet.

Lastly I stopped by a retro game store called "Play Again"

I had hoped to pick up a copy of Truxton genesis CIB for around $45 that they had.  Well that was the problem they HAD a copy...sigh.  But they also just got in a stash of TB-16 games and a few CD games....

I was tempted to pick up military madness and a few more but then I saw a Working Designs game and I am a sucker for anything working designs....so that became my splurge item.....

I also picked up a little Genesis love.  For having never been a Sega guy growing up...since it was one system if that and I was a Nindendo guy growing up I am pleased to find not only gems in the sega library but down right criminals over looked games....

I was very tempted to pick up general chaos but I had to pull back the reigns on my spending lol..

The game looks complete but I couldn't tell if it was suppose to have two disk or not and neither could the guy at the shop...we looked on google and it seems it is just missing a foldout map but still not sure so instead of the $80 he knocked off $20 incase it was missing a disk. I felt it was a price not to walk away from like I did with Truxton last month I was there.

It just started the next 6 issue run.  They do 6 issues take a break then come back, currently at issue 19 with what looks like a 9-10 month time jump from where it left off at issue 18.

It came out last week, but don't worry ..... I have yet to bump into antoher person at any comic shop reading Saga...

if it's not The Walking Dead or Spider-Man all the "new" comic readers seem to ignore it...no matter how well written......

unless there is talk of said comic getting a tv show or movie deal then the price skyrockets..

I have quickly found that Image comics has the most diverse range of comics currently available, while DC simply wont' stray away from the tried and true IP's that have has for ever (but I will give propbs for the Blue and Gold, and animal man series)..Marvel at LEST will publish French comic every now and again like "sky angles"..

Idea, Vertigo (which is owned by either marvel or dc I forget) is still trying to be indie while Boom comics is doing well with lovecraftean stuff and general horror comics....

Oh man, I'm unfortunately not too into comics anymore which always saddens whenever I drive by my comic store (and it's on my way to work).

But Saga is pretty much the only series I'm reading at the moment. Oh and I started Swamp thing (which I love) and Transmetropolitan (which I also love).

But only my friend and I read Saga. Weird

It splits the video/audio and the 2nd Player controls which means you can play one PCB on two cabs as first & second player.

No thats the arcade version of Bonk.

But I built an adapter which allows me to connect any console that outputs RGB to the cab - and the consoles can also be played with the VS. loom on two cabs :)

How is it compared to past work by Howard Chaykin? Did you ever read American Flagg!?

Probably closer to Chaykins other tits'n'clits Black Kiss series i would have thought.
(which was banned in the UK, by the way)
Never rated him in his earlier 'Monarch Moonstalker' and  'Star Wars' stuff, but it looks like he's
found his niche market.
Quite liked his American Flagg series (first comics) and the 2 GN spinoffs, soft porn really.

Okay I just got back and am hitting th pool..I went back to that guys barn to try and find the SNES, donkey kong game and any NES stuff that simply HAD to be there and after 3 hours of looking sweating like a dog and remembering summer in Texas is HOT I went back to the old guy and asked if he was sure he had other old games...


He thinking it over then says.  I guess the guy from yesterday must have bought it all ...I had it all just sitting on the table....



I thanked him and left..once I got to a gas stations nd had a slushy I cooled down...


Then thought Fuuuuuuuuu.....kkkkkkkkkk!!!.........


I spent how long looking....I must have litterly bought the scraps the over guy left as what I found was shoved in a box full of VHS.

Yeah, the most retro gaming stuff that I've ever found at garage/yard sales has been basically a NES light gun at one sale, a NES controller at a different sale, 2-4 random cheapie NES games at a different sale, and a power cord-less Retro Twin (clone system that plays NES & SNES games) with Aerobiz and 1 SNES controller at another different sale.  I have looked at hundreds and hundreds of these sales and this is all that I have found in the last 4 years.  :(  They just aren't out 'in the wild' much anymore.  (Oh, I just remembered that I've seen a very few random common Atari games out there occasionally too, but since I don't have, care for, or keep up with Atari stuff, I usually just pass over them.)  Oddly enough, when my wife was out at a subdivision garage sale yesterday, she came across a place that had a large box of NES games for $0.50 each, and the owner said that she had a lot more (1000+ assorted video games) in the basement, so I may try to connect with her sometime this week and see what she has.

Super Bonk 2 on SFC is pretty freakin' good! Nice boxed copy. Mine is loose but doesn't see too much love since the game is so long. It could have really used a password feature or something. Otherwise the game is nice and colorful and it's full of that Bonk charm.

Interesting.

"Even though the game isn't terribly long, there's a password system to track your progress."

I have a boxed repro of the game and thought I remembered there being an added password feature, so I looked it up for you, Mister. :3

I know that those mini LCD display thingies (I already forgot the real name lol) are (next to the shuttle) the most expensive NEC systems with the Supergrafx right behind all of that. 


I don't think I would ever have the urge to buy one personally although they are neat....

at most I might just take my PC Engine Core link up a mini LCD monitor to it and play it on long road trips (when I am not driving lol) ...

It is what I use to do with those mini PS's that had the LCD monitor that would attach to it......wish I still had it because man it was a sweet setup ..............unfortnatly I see those systems w/the lcd monitor go for bigger and bigger bucks for reasonse that truly ecape my understanding.

I haven't built/bought anything Lego in years. This and the BTTF one tempt me a lot. If it is inexpensive i may just pick this up! Looks great!
Title: Re: teh "what did you buy today"-thread
Post by: FiftyQuid on June 12, 2014, 01:46:28 PM
$59.99

It's a solid kit just like the BTTF kit.  Everything is screen printed, no stickers.

I was buying LEGO Movie stuff for my son's birthday and saw this one.  Had to get it.  Oh, and the LEGO Movie kit is also excellent.  VERY imaginative builds.  The movie, in case you haven't seen it, is also fantastic.

Post by: jtucci31 on June 12, 2014, 02:42:48 PM
Oh i loved that movie. Saw it twice actually lol. Having the logos screen printed sounds great, but $60 just a little high. But I am absolutely not ruling it out though. You should post a pic of the finished project here or somewhere.
Title: Re: teh "what did you buy today"-thread
Post by: FiftyQuid on June 12, 2014, 02:46:35 PM
These are limited edition runs.  The store would only sell me one.  Not that I wanted two, but there was a sign there and I'm sure it was official.  $60 for 500 pieces is standard fair for LEGO.

YES! Like jtucci31, I've also seen it twice (luckily under the guise of taking my 6 yr old).

I recently found a Marvel Super Hero Lego short on Netflix and the lil and I loved it as well (though it's only about 20 minutes).

I have paid more than $5 for my games, but I do normally find what I want in the $5-$15 range.  My DS game library grew pretty quickly over the past two years, as it has been a real buyers market.

Panzer Front
Soviet Strike
Big Stike Bowling
Tetris Plus (YEAH!)
Street Raquetball (WTF)
Rage Race

and two 3rd-party PS1 memory cards.

It always makes me sad to look through saves on memory cards and see what games I might have missed at the thrift.  Besides the games shown, there were also saves for Digimon World 3, Soul Blade and a couple other gems on there :(

I always find it interesting to find saves as well

The PS2 IMO had the most interesting save files to date. It wasnt just text or anything it was often an icon or mini modle ofa character performing funny actions that denotes your PS2 save .

Some times of my cartridge games I like to leave one save file from the previous owner as a memory of who ownd it last before me.

Here is my favorite issue:

I loved reading those too.  I'd love to buy a cd/dvd that contains all the old comic books so you could read them.  Do you know if anything like that is available?  It would take me forever to track down all those old comics.  I'm not a collector, I just want to read them again.

They reprinted them in a hard bound book multi vol edition. I want to say it was IDW that did it when they bought the rights from Marvel.

They also reprinted the G.I. joe ones as well

A little thrifting on the way home from vacation today.
Both copies of shadow man had that little map still with it.  All games are virtually pristine except for the cases themselves.  I already had a longbox toshinden, but had to rescue it from the dirty pile of cd's and movies for $5.

I left a $2 perfect copy of DK Country behind out of principle. LOL SNES.

I loved to play shadow man on the N64. Never played the dreamcast verson but I am sure it is a much better port.  Awe man now I wanna play it.

No problem. Looks like there are six volumes so far with a seventh volume you can pre order wichita would bring the number of issues on TPB to 80 if I remember correctly. Sadly I don't really remember how many issues the original Transformers has.  I want to say similarly to G.I. joe they had around 100? 


Ehhhh some one can wiki this I am sure.

Very nice Ope! 

Here are my recent goodies:

(https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3874/14514324123_7f45cd6e3b_z.jpg)

Went by the thrift yesterday, and picked up a couple small things.  A random PS2 type power cord, OEM PS AV Cable, and a PS2 Memory Card. 

Browsing CDs I saw and had to pick up copies of Use Your Illusion I & II from Guns N Roses when I saw them cheap.  The drive for nostalgia was so great that I've been rocking out in my car ever since.

Also finally got my BRAND NEW copy of Infinite Space for the DS.  It's an EU copy but is totally playable in English, and now I don't have to pay and arm and leg for a US copy.  A nod to nullity for constantly talking about how good this game is, and another to zborgerd for pointing out the EU copies for sale.
Title: Re: teh "what did you buy today"-thread
Post by: MrFlutterPie on June 24, 2014, 06:37:22 AM
^ Nice score on Infinite Space :D

That game rocks!  I picked up a U.S copy for $15 CIB locally a few months ago. 

I like the ship battles the best.

Kind of an oddball here...

In from a trade.  Flying Dragon is mildly entertaining which is way more than I can say for the other two games...  Kind of like a cross between a SNES and Genesis but maybe one generation late to the game.  Oh who am I kidding, it sucks plain and simple but whatever.

So here is a little chestnut.

I got a gift card for $100 for my birthday last month to use on Amazon.

I attempted recently to use said gift card for the $150 used copy of Coryoon.

I get a reply a day later saying out of stock and that my order waas canceled.


Ok no biggie. I order the $170 from lucky star

A fay later same thing haplenes. I ask that they replace with the OTHER posting they have thats $12 dollars more

That listing gets removed and no dice

I then think okay 3rd times tge charme. And I order the $186 listing

Well today that too gets canceled as they do not have it in stock

WTF japan amazon sellers?!?!?!

I think what happens is they list it in several spots concurrently. Thus maximizing exposure. Since Amazon has no penalty for the seller, either they sold it already on eBay/whatever for more, or think they can get more since the listing went up. Sucks man.

That's damn cool!  I always wanted to try one of these bad boys.

Isn't it quite difficult to get all of the games?  Any two player games / is it possible to get a second controller without a system?  Is there an emulator for this thing?

I've never really seen many games for sale.  Apparently a few of them are ridiculously expensive.  I have occasionally seen extra controllers but again not often.  I do not know which games support two players though it does have two controller ports.  I've not looked for an emulator but my first guess would be no since its so obscure and really not that good.

I have the first one since it came out and the better, prior album, Appetite for Destruction. This is from ancient times in my life when I actually used to buy music CDs on rare occasion (radio suited me fine). ;) Too bad they split on a pretty sour/petty note; Axle refused to show for induction into the rock'n'roll hall of fame or whatever. Bernie's still a real big fan too BTW.

.   Appetite is one of the best rock albums ever recorded. Its great from front to back with no filler bullshit. Its just great gritty sleazy rock goodness, and I love the heavy blues inspired guitar riffs. Slash and Izzy were great.

Okay I didn't buy this but it is a really cool find.


So I go to throw out the trash since I have company coming and the appartment is looking a little Bachlers padish .....the wife is spending the week with family so I have the run of the house.    Meaning it better look clean before she gets back lol....


Well I toss the bag in the dumpster and what do I see sitting next to a bent up bike?

Why a original Xbox in box.  I snatch that up and walk back to the apartment..

I open the box and it has a minty system packing foam power cord av cables and S controller.....

Score.....

I plug it in and the system boots up and has a DVD of stand by me...

I grab a Xbox game slide it in and....it can't read the disk.......

I'd try another game but they are all in boxes in storage...

I am sure it is an easy fix, but I can now at lest try out a Xbox I got from Goodwill a few months ago (no cables or anything) for $6 ....hopefully that one works but I'll have to hit up the storage unit tommarow.


Even though the system isn't working I now have a box and cables/controller. 

Pics to follow.

Okay edited the confusing xoxo and iTunes part.....I dont' know why but my auto text be it my iPd or my phone I was using yesterday likes to really jack with my posting.

Whoa back the trolley up here.  Who says Growl is a "bad" game?

I always herd it was decent and different.  I played it and the first screen you pick up a rocket launcher and start blasting bad guys only to pick up a AK-47 the next screen and mow some more bad guys down.

The game is great.  It's a solid beat em up that uses a ton of weapons including guns (not seen as often in traditional beat em ups) I love when I run out of ammo you still use your gun as a club so it's still helpful. 

I know the story is a bit silly but the gameplay is great!

Post by: jeffhlewis on July 04, 2014, 06:20:37 AM
Growl has a Zuntata soundtrack, so there's that.

It's not a terrible game for the era, just laughably ridiculous in an Engrish sort of way. Plus the plotline is total 90's environmental cornball stuff.

I joined the X68K XVI club recently thanks to a really awesome member here :D
It's a maxed out system with compact flash and midi. I also got a PS/2 keyboard adapter, pc engine pad hacked and CM-300 midi module with it. It's such an awesome system and I'm loving it so far. I had the oppertunity on this computer that I couldn't pass up so finally took the plunge. I already had a NEC XM29 monitor so using this system in the US has been very easy for me as the XM can switch from VGA to low res automatically.
Still figuring this out and exploring the library of games. There's so many nice shooters and it's a real treat to play them all on original hardware!

The colors on the Monster Party game label always stood out, I've never actually played the game. Is it any good?
Title: Re: teh "what did you buy today"-thread
Post by: Medic_wheat on July 08, 2014, 11:37:01 AM
Monster party is a fun colorfull game.

It is still easy to find below $20 and is highly enjoyable....


I like that there are still MANY games that can be had for under $30 bucks that are worthy to have ....


I never really got people who collect games just to say they have a complete set....lpersonaly I'd rather have 50 games that are 100% fun/win then 700 NES games ..

Oh really. That I didn't know....I had heard of this proto uncensored (and possibly more cohesive story) but at the time I thought there were maybe two or three screen shots of it, and a much more horror tone intro attract screen.

If this gets released as a rom that would be amazing....on more rom for the masses in the vein of mother 1 and that dreamcast game that eludes me

It is a fun game.  This is one of the games I rented a number of times, but never bought it as a kid.
I have been on a search for it, but I refused to pony up more than $3, and I finally found it for $2.
EWJ (complete/perfect shape) was a 5 spot.  Really broke the bank for that one.

2014-07-09 Pickups; Random Crap Edition by xelement5x, on Flickr

All sorts of random crap I'd ordered just landed on my doorstep today!
 
 
Final Fantasy Tactics A2 case insert and manual for the DS
 
Capcom Classics Collection Dual Pack for the PSP. This is a really friggin' uncommon game. In fact, most of the Capcom Dual pack releases for the PSP are hard to locate. I got a good price on this one at auction.
 
Sega PODs Game. I'm a sucker for Sega crap, and these went super cheap (I actually paid more for shipping than the item itself) so I had no regrets. This time in the 90s when Sega was trying to branch out from just video games to other kids stuff is a fun an weird era to dig through. The packaging on this is similar to all the Pico games as well.

The Capcom ones are the harder ones to find, I think because they were GameStop exclusives.  Specifically:
Mega Man (Powered Up and Maverick Hunter)
Monster Hunter (Freedom Unite and Freedom 2)
Capcom Classics (Remixed and Reloaded)

The others seem less common, but I think those 3 were GameStop only releases.

my flea market generally does suck.  they were asking more for crystalis ($20).  This was just this past sunday.  I thought $15 was too much for battletoads.  I don't care what it's going for on ebay.

Oh yeah.... Take batman forever off the radar! It's like a side scrolling action version of batman mortal kombat ... Except with shittier controls lol

Seriously, that game is just astoundingly awful. I have no idea how it ever made it past play-testing.

From what I've seen there's not much difference between the two. Of course the Genny version has a few more colors and textures. Plus I grew up on the NES version :)

Not 100%.  There are some games that either run glitchy or don't run at all in NTSC, although I'm fairly certain Golden Axe Warrior does neither & should work fine.  If you want to play New Zealand Story, though, you can go straight to hell.

Got a brand new Framemeister in yesterday! Can't help Game Sack since it refuses to run at a proper refresh rate even with Sync Mode turned off and therefore I cannot capture its footage. So I have zero use for it. And I have already sold it. Goodbye, useless Framemeister! The XPC-4 is much better but it still is very hard to get it to look right on 15khz sources (240p).

Get your self one of the Micomsoft Capture cards and the XSync-1.  Not cheap, but real 240p RGB at 60fps capturing.  I know jack shit about video editing, and this was my first try.  No filters used here, just nearest neighbor upscaling.  Note the quality was hurt a lot as I blended every 2 frames in order to keep Sapphire's special effects...  The raw capture is truly stunning.  S-Video and Composite look great too.

Nice. A little dark, though. Still I might be more interested in the X-Capture 1 (referenced in the video's comments). Does the card convert to a consumer format like MP4 or H.264 or something? That would likely be a deal breaker for me.
Title: Re: teh "what did you buy today"-thread
Post by: SuperDeadite on July 13, 2014, 01:28:22 PM
The card should work with most recording software.  I use AmaRec with the lagarith encoder.

From the people I've talked to, the external X-Capture still seems to give some people issues.  I think a lot of it is due to USB 3.0 chipset compatibility problems.

I was able to pick up the following issues:

Ok lots to talk about here...

The robotech finds where actually at a cd exchange......$3.99 a set and they even did three sets for $10....google tells me that I am only missing sets 5, 6 as I was unsure if there was more after set 7....

Google also says that there is a remastered edition.....still fun find...

The obey finds and famicom game was all from a reseller for only $20. I'll be honest apart from the two games I DO know what they are the one with a 3 saying bla bla legend bout baseball game and final match tennis I haven't a clue to....I didn't even want the tennis game as I wanted the loose games and famicom game ($12 for the famicom) for $15 but the seller refused to sell for less then $20 with the tennis game...felt it was a good deal not to pass up...

I also do not know what in the world the famicom game is but looked like a fun action platformer so it is a gamble...

He did have ONE TG-16 game legendary Axe 2 but I already have it...left it for someone needing it...

The two SNES games were also at a Cd Exchange... They had a loose decent label copy of R-Type III but wanted $100...it's more or less what eBay wanted...I find it anoying that cd exchange uses a,alone for pricing at times but it is still fun to shop....anime is typically dirt cheap....

Lastly.  I also saw a CIB general chaos but I couldn't find the seller or what they wanted.......I was tempted to walk off with it at the flea market but I don't need that karma....

Just to clarify that is two copies of Truxton one CIB missing manual and one loose...liked the finds as they were $8 and $14

The other one I remember hearing it was fun but mediocre.  So yeah....

The Half Price books close to me actually had two Robotech volumes on Laserdisc for relatively cheap...if anybody wants me to pick them up I'd be happy to.

Does this mean you have one copy that's just the Cart+Clamshell and one loose?  I'm a bit confused by your wording.  I've been looking for a CB Truxton if you're looking to get rid of one :)

Nice, I wouldn't have minded running into a Robotech collection, I would've snagged all that too. What I really want though is a complete set for Voltron. I dunno if they moved it to BluRay, but I'd love to have it (preferably BluRay if available). Was pretty expensive when I saw some seasons at BestBuy ($50 bucks/season) - haven't checked latest prices of new ones though.

Just to clarify that is two copies of Truxton one CIB missing manual and one loose...liked the finds as they were $8 and $14

The other one I remember hearing it was fun but mediocre.  So yeah....

Does this mean you have one copy that's just the Cart+Clamshell and one loose?  I'm a bit confused by your wording.  I've been looking for a CB Truxton if you're looking to get rid of one :)

I have two copies

One CIB missing manual

One loose

Both found at the flea market but at different locations.......I jumped on them both.....wife gave look of confusing as to why I bought two copies of the same game...


I informed her that you can never have enough Truxton.

Nice pickup on the Robotech DVDs...

The Half Price books close to me actually had two Robotech volumes on Laserdisc for relatively cheap...if anybody wants me to pick them up I'd be happy to.

If no one who has a laser disk player wants these let me know.....

I don't have a laser disk but it is on my list of future gets..wouldn't mind building a little laser disk collection of fun titles.

Damn I'm jealous. I've been looking for a copy of Truxton for awhile. Weird that you were able to find both at two different goodwills.

I agree though, you can never have enough Truxton!

Oh sorry not to confuse ..everything except the robotech and SNES games I found at a flea market.  The DVDs and SNES games were at a cd exchange.

The flea market finds where fun!!!

I wanted to also
Ick up a vintage HEAVY rotary metal phone that was refurbished and working...all black with chrom parts...but the guy was asking $40 and I only had $30 in cash left on me........he went to $35 but I didn't want to hit up a ATM for another $20 when it would charge me $5 just to get it.....

Thnks...I had no idea....I don't think I have ever heard of seen or played ninja kid on the NES, but I'll check it out.....


I don't have a famicom but I do have a super 8 which I use to play malt NES and SNES imports...not that the SNES really needs a converter to pay import games....


As always I will look to see if the ninja kid NES game has been censored from its famicom counter part...

Lol nice bootleg lol. Let me rephrase that sounded rude. Nice example of a fake hu card. Looks like another one you or someone else had posted recently when a topic got all into bootleg hu cards and their existance.

Thabks for the heaps up. The volleyball and soccer ones are a great find fo rme as I wanted them to start. I also plan on getting the nes ones one day as a kid. Still want to get my hands on river city ransom. Nes and pc ports.

I might enjoy they basball game. Not sure if the wesaling will be my kind of sports game. At the very lest ill give them a play and worse case raffle and or trade them for something else.

Turrican(t)
Pac-Lan
Tricky Kick
It Came From the Desert

I got these from the excellent BlueBMW when he was selling them.  I'm a sucker for Turrican, don't judge.

2014-07-12 Amazon Pickups by xelement5x, on Flickr

Legend of Korra : Book 2 Spirits Blu-Ray Set
Wonder Momo : Battle Idol Volume 1

My wife and I really enjoyed Avatar and the first season of Korra.  This was finally on sale at Amazon with a fair discount from the list price after it was released so we picked it up.  The Wonder Momo book is a collection of the webcomics from Shiftylook, printed by Udon.  I can always use more Momo in my life.

Silpheed for the PC!

I found this bad boy at the thrift for $2 and had to grab it just because.  It looks like it's got everything it originally came with like the manual, inserts and even 5.25" AND 3.5" floppies!  I played this a lot on the Sega CD so this a pretty cool find to me.

Silpheed was originally developed for the NEC PC-8801 computer series.  Way back in the day Sierra visited Japan to demo their ''amazing computer games'' to the Japanese, when there the opposite happened and Sierra was amazed by what GameArts was doing and licenesed Silpheed and Thexder from them and sold PC ports in the USA.

Oh wow - I was digging through a box and literally just found my 3.5" floppies for Silpheed and Thexder last night. Back when I was a kid they had those two games + a game called "Zeliard" that I picked up for like 5 bucks from the Navy Exchange, not even knowing what they were. I'm heartbroken to think that the boxes might have gotten thrown away.

I haven't met anyone else that was familiar with Zeliard - it was another Gamearts port from PC-8801 to the IBM PC back in the day. Kind of an Ys III clone with an AMAZING soundtrack. And horrible US cover art...

This was a series that I bought day one all through the inital games and would have continued the gu games BUT a cousin at the time who I had loaned the games to never gave them back...when I came back from my second deployment I learned that he had sold them to a pawn shop or some such rubbish....so I never continued the series and was really turned off....well time to stop letting a bad experience keep me from enjoy a game series I really liked.......

Later I'll get the three GU games.

One more Atari 2600 game...this game for years I couldn't remember the name to.  But one day I saw one for sale on the Internet and the cover sparked a memory.  I loved it but maybe more because of the memories I had playing this game with my dad......

And the ps2 games I already talked about....

I finally caved and upgraded from my TV's speakers, to some surround sound.  I am hardly an audiophile, so spending what I spent was already tough for me...  All of the forums basically claim you need to spend $5k just to have something that isn't junk, but I can't do that!

Anyway, this is what I picked up:

Those speakers (The Pioneers), at least the towers, were reviewed very well, even back in January of 2013.

Here is an article where the tower speakers were listed as part of a, "Best of 2013" list. Just scroll down a bit. - http://hometheaterreview.com/home-theater-reviews-best-of-2013-awards/

Nice, Clash. That system will be great. Home-theater enthusiasts on the internet don't know what they're talking about. They love to talk about "fidelity" on one hand while filling their dens with wireless blue-tooth garbage, overpowering subwoofers, and hyped, tinny sound bars on the other; all while EQ'ing the shit out of their receiver.

Surround sound systems don't need fidelity, they need to sound dramatic and immersive. As long as there's a clean, digital feed for the audio, non-blown tweeters, and room that can accommodate proper speaker placement, anything will do. I run L-R Fisher boxes from the Eighties, a $200 Aiwa receiver from 2001, and a three-piece rear/center kit I bought from Radio Shack for $50. No sub, but the mains have 8' woofers. Sounds just tits.

vestcoat is right. It doesn't take a fortune to make a nice sounding system.

I will however tender the headroom argument in favor of having lots of power and big speakers.  It is nice when watching a movie to have the dynamic range where dialog is loud enough to be heard without being fatiguing,  but explosions to kick in with authority. A properly calibrated system (spl meter, test tones, and parametric eq) won't be overpowered by subwoofers, but when called upon they will be able to bark with authority. It takes a lot to reproduce the 20-30 Hz range without muddying, distorting, or making other butt-like noises.


Throw sherlock holmes in there and tell me how it sounds.  :lol:

I finally set up everything and watched the new Evil Dead to see how it sounded.  I definitely am very happy with the speakers, but as a guy that has always just used TV sound, I honestly am not an expert!  I am excited to play some XB1/PS4 with it set up, as I am sure I will see a huge difference there.  I read online that speaks need to be "broken in" before they sound as intended, which can take some time.  Is this true?

One thing I noticed when looking at my Blu-rays is that very few movies are in 7.1 sound, almost all of them just have the 5.1 track.  Dredd was the only movie I had with 7.1 advertised out of the stack I was looking at.  The other thing I noticed is that I can only turn the sound up to about 20, out of what I assume is 50, because I live in an apartment building with shitty neighbors.  The real victim is the sub-woofer, which I literally have set to 1 out of 10 (it has its own power/volume), because my downstairs neighbor will come up to my place with his Nam flashbacks (already happened when I tried playing Rock Band drums in the living room).

I was at my gf's uncle's house and he has these giant speakers from the 1950s-1970s that he pulls out of the garbage and they sound really good.  The one he showed me he said he paid $3 at a garage sale and it is a $1k speaker.  He claims anything made after the 70s is crap, which further made me believe that most sound guys just are opinionated and don't actually know anything.

Heh, I might've missed this comment, hadn't looked in here in a while. ;)

Well, I understand, it's a conflicted rock and a hard place for me as well, still being a big Ys fan, but yet willing to totally pass up new releases on anything because of knowing the guy that works at XSEED who translated these new Ys games, and how the fan translations were "acquired" from the "other guy" that I mistakenly used to work with for the older Ys games... I don't quite know how to get justice in this situation exactly and so it goes on, remaining unresolved... Ya know, it's a no brainer, but it really pays to be wealthy in life to take care of shit like this right when it happens so you can get immediate closure of some kind on it.

Anyway, Falcom already got their license fees paid from these X.X.XSEED a$$holes even if only one US copy sold of whatever licensed game, so... I don't and will never have the influence that I would really love to have to wage an effective PR war to get them to reverse their decision, but I will do what I can (Ken Berry almost cooperated with me on the 2nd phone call when I presented my case, but then totally flipped on the last call and decided after more consultation with B.J.DeuceBag and Lipschultz/Wyrdwad that I could simply be ignored, and basically gave me the old "tough, too bad, get lost!," approach etc. Tried bullshitting me with "spin," selective logic, and denial, etc.!)...

At one point that was my original idea. To have a bank of PVMs made to look like a security monitor room. Since they are very stackable (not sure how the heat and venting would be affected). That may have to be put on hold until I have a house lol....


Yes from my understanding these are used primarily for medical imaging. I don't know if PVMs or bums are still being produced mind you.

Splatterhouse PCE CIB
Midnight Resistance CIB
and Thunder Force V, Saturn version!  My local game store got a bunch of import saturn titles including Battle Garrega, Stellar Assault SS, and Blast Wind, but TFV was all I could afford.  I was gonna get a copy of Assault Suit Leynos 2 but they sold it before I got there. :(

Also, I bought an INL Retro-programmer & made myself a copy of Metal Warriors. 8) I'm thinking of doing Ninja Warriors & Hagane next.

Its been a very very long time since ive gotten a good deal at a thrift store. I've kind of falling out of the habit of hitting up thrift stores. It just seems like over the past few years that there are so many people doing it, and i just dont see the point. But i went to good will today to try and find some computer speakers, and got an awesome deal, on something ive wanted for awhile but havent been able to find for a good price.

The one on the left looks to be Undeadline on the Sharp X68000. The game on the right is for the MSX.

Kind of an average-ish RPG from Enix, that one. Not all that memorable. Any particular reason you wanted the Japanese one ? To compare to the US version or wait, you're just really commenting on the artwork ? The artwork is certainly better, but I prefer the whole game in English, so I'll accept the bad artwork if I can play/understand the game at least. ;)

Its been a very very long time since ive gotten a good deal at a thrift store. I've kind of falling out of the habit of hitting up thrift stores. It just seems like over the past few years that there are so many people doing it, and i just dont see the point. But i went to good will today to try and find some computer speakers, and got an awesome deal, on something ive wanted for awhile but havent been able to find for a good price.

Found some games at my local record store. The TMNT had 2 price stickers on it. one for $15 and one for $30. There was a crack in the back of the game case, and something rattling on the inside. I told the clerk that i would gamble on the game for $15 but not $30, and they sold it to me for $15. Took it home, replaced the back  case, good as new.

I've kind of been meaning to get "Enter the Matrix: Path of Neo" some day. I beat the PS2 first entry of "Enter the Matrix" and I liked how they used the games to expand the story and show movie production level footage exclusive just for the game. "Path of Neo" finishes the story off, and I've still not gotten to see it.

Super punchout and muke Tyson's punch out are two common games I still need to pick up some day.

That famicom game along with little samson for the famicom are also games I wish to get but man ebay prices for them have REALLY jumped. Like stuip crazy.

True about NG DEV no longer doing reprints. I'll need to double check which dc ones I have as I think I have them all. I think.

Good eye and yes it is.  In the JP version you play a young kid and I the US for some weird reason you play a old (not middle age just old lol) guy. The other difference is one of the power ups is weaker or stronger forget which in the us versus JP version.


eBay has been trying for around $150 similar for the little Samson for imports which I suspect largely is demand in the us for a more affordable version versus what the us game goes for.

I say suspect because just a few months back I almost won a CIB copy of little Samson famicom for $100 even but I got sniped and it ended at $102. Since then loose the game goes for $150 similarly to this game.


It keeps getting listed as "rare" but for Japan it is uncommon AT BEST.

The japanese panic restaurant cost me about $57.00 through a uk importer.Still in price it's much cheaper then the nes version.I do find it odd,how the nes panic restaurant has a old guy and the famicom version is a young guy instead.

The Final Fight revenge was from a great forum member.  This completes my Final Fight collection :dance:

The GBA game and Star Wars game were cheap pick ups (Although I love Star Wars and shumps).

Finally the Action Replay so I can play some sweet sweet imports on my Saturn.  Holy moly though it was hard getting the action replay seated in the Saturn properly so it would work.  The cart slot on the Saturn sucks balls.  I ended up pulling it up a 1-2mm to get it to recognize the cart was plugged in lol.

Not a fan of 1 hit kills myself, but you do get an extra hit for wearing one of the hats in the game, so, yeah. If you enjoy this game, check out Flink on Sega CD.

From what I understand its a RPG but other than that thats all I know. :) I think I pissed him off too when I told him good luck for selling it at $250 when there are what like maybe 1000 or so laseractive collectors out there. Finally said screw it I'll take your $100 offer.

Nice find. I could use a DSlite.

What store had that clearance?  If it is a Big Lots or something, I need to get out and look for a DS Lite.

I got it at EB Games.  The employees said they found them in the back room and were just trying to get rid of them.

They only had 4 at the store.  I don't know if it was there store only or if it was a chain wide thing.

I'm not the reseller/flipper type.  I only buy what I need and leave the rest. 

I collect for my personal enjoyment not as an investment or as a part time job.

Besides each minute spent trying to flip is one less minute obeying ;)

I have bought some well-priced items like spare Vectrex and Laseractive stuff and sold to forum friends for my cost.  "Flipping" doesn't always need to mean at a higher price.

To me I don't see the appeal of so many people in buying an item for say $10, that they can sell for $25 on ebay.  I see games all the time locally for sale with that kind of market value discount, but if you were to take the selling fees, time taken to sell, cost/time of shipping, I have no clue why anyone even goes through the hassle of flipping like this.

If I do buy these duplicates it is for friends/family.  Or, more often than not, I leave the game in the pile and think to myself, "this will make someone happy later when they find it."

Funny story about that Game Gear.  I went to trade it in with my games as teen but the caps had gone on it so the store wouldn't take it.  I still hung onto it for whatever reason.  a few months ago I sent it out to Kieth to be recapped and now my childhood system is working again.

It managed to survive by playing dead until a decade later when it could be revived :)

Yes. That was what I was saying in my head when he first showed me his collection. It was insane. It still is pretty insane. I've sold about 60% of it so far. Held on to maybe 25% of it. He just reached a point where he didn't care about any of it anymore. I never would have found another person who had what he had in my city, and who didn't care about it. He had more interesting items than any of the game stores in my city.

I have only ever seen R-Type III in the wild once (about two months ago) at a CD Exchange (in my new city that I am moving to!)

It was a lose copy and the label was a little jankey, but I passed.....mostly because they wanted $120 for it ........

I got lucky. All of the games in that pic of mine are in good condition too. All the maps and inserts are included with the RPGs. R-Type III and Lufia are especially nice, near mint condition boxes and carts. Ridiculous.

I kept about 35 other boxed SNES games from the same bundle I bought from the hoarder guy on Sunday (selling the rest of the 60 or so SNES games from the bundle, nothing too spectacular in those), but I only took a picture of these particular ones. There was also FFII, FFIII, Zelda LtP, Super Metroid, Illusion of Gaia (near mint), SOS, Lost Vikings, Wanderers of the Ys III, Zombies Ate My Neighbors (Mint), Cybernator, Tinstar, Actraiser 1 and 2, Utopia, Equinox, Aerobiz Supersonic, The 7th Saga, Brainlord, Mario All Stars, UN Squadron, Prince of Persia 2, Street Racer, and a loose copy of Lufia 2 with maps in the bundle (to name a few).

I played it with a buddy on Sunday. He got frustrated pretty fast, but he is my N64 friend. He no play the SHMUPS. I could tell I was going to have a lot of fun with it.

Worms for the Sega Saturn
AND
Disgaea 4 Vita from NIS America with free Monokuma Squad Sticker


I also got some additional Sega Saturn games I purchased from synbiosfan to help out with my Saturn collection.  He also helped me replace some beat up manuals/inserts I had so I'm a pretty happy camper.  :)

SUPRAKILLMINDS! It is a new Genesis homebrew published by fasebonus.  On the back of the package they say that it is a puzzle game that will "make your brains melt like an ice cake in plain summer".  Can't wait to try it out!

I was watching Hagane for a while on eBay and saw it go for $65CAD to $75CAD all the time. One auction popped up at $44US buy it now and I jumped on it.

Price has really sky rocketed for a famicom,mr.gimmick.Ive seen boxed copies go for much as $300.00+ at auction.Last year i just bought a reproduction of (mr.gimmick cib) instead,since the famicom version has become pricey.

I bought it for 180 Euro (final shipped price) on yahoo which is roughly 240 $ at the moment.
The last (CIB) ones I watched on ebay went for 500 $ - this one for example:

http://www.ebay.de/itm/Gimmick-Famicom-NES-JP-GAME-/311022298593?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item486a5fa5e1&nma=true&si=PTEvDR1BrKG0%252Fz5x%252BNxNxJ%252FbY1U%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

And this one is still running nearly 5 days and it's at 300 $ already:

http://www.ebay.de/itm/Gimmick-Nintendo-Famicom-NES-Japan-Used-Game-JP-Gimmick-Great-Condition-/201150478061?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2ed580b6ed

So I think I did pretty good :).

Before I had the System Card 1.0 and 2.0 - as far as I know these two never had an original boxed release. So I made customs for these two cards. The System Card 2.1 was released in a boxed version - the one on my picture is an original 2.1 box / inlay.

You bastards with Atlantean!  I'm still waiting for mine. 
In other news, I just got these the other day:

(https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3919/14985712012_e2a1914f0d_c.jpg)

From the Thrift:
Lotus II [Genesis]
Arcade's Greatest Hits: The Atari Collection 1 [PS1]

From GameStop:
Tales of Xillia 2 Collectors Edition [PS3]
PS2 Network Adapters x2
Link's Crossbow Training x2


I picked up my preorder of Xillia 2 from GameStop and this box is ridiculously huge.  Bigger than the first one.  I'm not exactly sure where I will put it, probably next to the other ones and hope nothing falls over!  PS2 stuff still seems to be on uber clearance so I got the network adapters for 44c each, and the Crossbow Training for the same price. 

I also swung my my local thrift last night and picked up the copy of Lotus II for the Genesis and the non-crap PS1 game for a couple bucks.  I already have Arcade Collection on Saturn so I may just get rid of the PS1 copy since I can't imagine there is much of a difference between the two.

It really was stupidly priced at $130.  Luckily, they did a sale with 15% off all items on the NamcoBandai store so that took some of the price off, but I am wondering if it's going to drop in price even more over time as well.

Collector's editions are really a pain in the ass.  I only buy the collector's editions if there is something I like inside the box, but I often feel strong-armed into pre-ordering these editions to ensure I get my copy.

Sometimes this is good, for example the WWE 2K15 Hulkamania Edition sold out right after I pre-ordered it.  Hogan has always been my favorite wrestler, so to me a special Hogan edition with his autograph, a piece of the ring from his return, and some other crap was well worth the $40 additional price.  Had I not preordered, then I would've been bummed I missed out.

Then there is other stuff like South Park Stick of Truth.  I liked the Cartman figure so I pre-ordered even though it was a bit pricey.  Shortly after the game was released, I saw the collector's edition for about $30 less than I paid.

I think what I might start doing is pre-ordering all collector's editions I am even on the fence for.  The only good thing about Gamestop is they are pretty good at letting you move your pre-order money from one item to another.  So if they end up having 50 extra copies on the shelf, you can just get a gift card instead and wait until it is on sale.  If the collector's edition sells out, then you have one pre-ordered.

That was a rant no one wanted to read...  except maybe the goverrats.

Damn, is that a repro cart?  I didn't think that game made it stateside

It's real, I picked it up ages ago, it sucks hard. Better off playing the arcade ver. on an emulator or buying it on PSN.

Athena is so tough. I actually had it back in the day and could make it pretty far (never beat it, doubt I ever could).

Anyway, the game had so much potential, it's so sad that it was flawed beyond reproach.

I think we all have a list of random commons that we look out for. Granted this cart can be had on the bay for like $5, that was still too much. I got it for $1.50.

Ahh.... Athena.  I'm still waiting for the AVGN to review this one.  This was the very first NES game that I bought since I couldn't afford Kid Icarus or Metroid at the time as they were 10 dollars more than what Athena was going for. 

I was impatient and sick to death of Mario and Duck Hunt so rather than wait another week and cut a few more lawns, I broke down and bought Athena.  :(   Boy did I feel robbed!  It took me cutting another six lawns before I could afford to buy a decent game back then......and I hated pushing that damn lawn mower.

  Ha Ha... I know the feeling. Same thing happened to me with City Connection. It really was hard to choose good games back then. Especially if the game wasnt picked for review by one of the big game mags. Kids don't know how spoiled they are with the internet.

I never played Athena.

However, my story with City Connection. Someone gave me the game, during NES days. Either that or I paid something non-memorable for it, like $5. I traded it for Shadowgate. Shadowgate I enjoyed more.

However, City Connection I later reacquired. It's a good arcade type game. Though, years ago, Shadowgate, without a guide, I put more hours into!

It plays like Zelda... sort of the "Link to the Past" of the Genesis.  So far I really like it but, was surprised at some of the difficulty so early in the game (I actually like that).

I know Game sack had it in an ep.  I knew of the game before but, that footage lead me to really want it.  I never actually pursued it because of the price of admission.

I used my scumbag, detriment to the gaming community powers to strike a deal.  A local game shop I frequent just got the most amazing trade in I've ever seen.  Picture every single high dollar/rare SNES, Genesis and N64 title CIB.  Even doubles in some cases.  The quality of the games in this trade-in, are like new.  Words can't even describe.

Anyways, I am kind of buddy buddy with the shop owner so he let's me know when stuff like this happens before it makes it to his display case.  He wanted close to the current price charting average for it.  He also usually hooks me up with 20% off (I buy a lot from him) and I traded in a few better SNES and N64 titles I no longer cared about.  I also traded in some extra hardware and every extra game/ double I had.  I ended up only having pay $50.00 out of pocket plus about 10 minutes worth of time on my knees.  I also traded my average condition boxed Sunset Riders and cash (Genesis) for a mint example and purchased a Minty CIB copy of Mega Turrican on Genesis.

My cartridge crusading friends scored CIB Mega man X2, Castlevania 4 and Sparkster (SNES).  One of them is trying to work out a deal for Wild Guns CIB (I believe the asking price on that one was like $500.00)

I kinda hate trading stuff in to shops, always feel like I'm getting effed. Glad that, at least sounds like, you didn't completely get the shaft. Well, aside from working it a little bit, perhaps.

Totally jealous about the Mega Turrican, wish I could at least score a loose copy for cheapo.

Weeow.

Wild Guns = $500 cib, that is just dumb.

Finally my grail has been achieved.  My TMNT NES Tournament Fighters is finally complete.  Since I grew up with a NES during the 16 bit era I missed out on the 1 on 1 fighter craze.  I so badly wanted in on 1 on 1 fighter to play at home.  I had a subscription to Nintendo Power and I see this game featured in it.  I was so excited as this was the going to be only way to get in on the 1 on 1  fighting action.

Sadly I never got it.  I saw it in the store once as a kid but it was $80 and my mom said it was too expensive.  I have been chasing this thing for over 20 years now.

I recently completed my first collecting goal of getting back all of my childhood games CIB.  While I never owned this game I have always considered it part of that collection.  I bought a CB a while back but it took forever to find the manual.  I am so happy to have harpooned the largest white whale in my life.  :mrgreen:

Kirby, and the Felix the Cat game... maybe also Trick shooting (On clearance), were some of the last games I bought, NEW, for the NES. Felix, load it on a flash cart, get a good deal on a real cart, however you may, it may sound silly, Felix the Cat?  but it's a decent game.

It is basically Castlevania combined with Streets of Rage and Prince of Persia.  If you like Prince of Persia you will like this game otherwise avoid at all cost. 

I find it alright but I wish it was more action focused rather then timing focused ala Price of Persia.  It's pretty atmospheric though so that's cool.  Good audio as well.

Well, Nekro, you got almost what I want from Arkhan!

I'm not sure if I read somewhere you were getting yours signed and it sat in the back of my mind when I was posting here a few days ago, subliminal and all.

I have been eyeing that game for awhile.


I take it the game disk has varient cd labels?  Is there one that is harder to find then others?


Yeah, there are 4 variants, but I have no idea if one is tougher to find. I just wanted the game, so I'm choosing not get all wrapped up in it. I know what will happen if I go down that road and I don't have the money for it.  ](*,)

Yeah, with Dragon Force there are 4 disc variant types and 3 different memory card stickers that went with copies of the game. 


Anyway, since it was a Labor Day on Monday my company also gave me a half day on Friday to celebrate as well.  I ran around the town about looking for goodies in that time.

First I hit some GameStops, pawn shops, and the local media store and grabbed these goodies

(https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5574/14926070997_eece1fc9cb_z.jpg)

Media Store Finds:
Ghost in the Shell: SAC, Volume 6 [DVD]
Ghost in the Shell: SAC, Volume 7 [DVD]
Genocyber Collection  [DVD]
Robotech 2 Movie Collection [DVD]

Random Pawn Shop Find:
Altered Beast [SMS]

GameStop Finds
(All Accessories, PS2 Stuff is still 75% off so I'm stocking up where I can find it):
PS1/2/3 RF Cable
PS2 4 Player + Memory Card Expansion Adapter
Logitech PS2 Headset
Eye Toy Camera with Lens Cover
Sony OEM DualShock 3 Charging Station.  (It is missing the clips that go with it and clip on the DS3 though, so a bit worthless until I can find them.)

The mall was pretty fun too. I hadn't been there for awhile and seeing cute girls while you walk around is never a bad thing. 

When I was there I saw that they had an arcade on the lower level so I went down to check it out.  Not to shabby actually, lots of relatively fun games and all the games I tried were working and properly calibrated, so huzzah for that! 

I played a fair bit of LA Machine Guns on the cabinet until continuing on my way.  Apparently there is even a Wii port of this and another game out there, so I will have to keep an eye out.

After that I swung by my local thrift to see what was in stock and got some awesome deals since almost everything was 50% off as well!

First is Lots and Lots of Xbox Games!

(https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3858/14926053808_30d9aed2c7_z.jpg)

Stacked
King Kong
Ralli Sport 2
Desert Storm
Medal of Honor: Frontline
Halo
Halo 2 (actually a 2 disc case with another copy of Halo in it too, lol)
The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay
Cabelas Big Game Hunter 2005 Adventures
Cars
DragonBall Z Sagas
NCAA 06 Football
DRIV3R

Then some other misc PlayStation goodies, and unbelievably Saturn games with cases in good condition!  I already own the games but can use the cases for replacements for other titles I own.

(https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3912/15109616631_fd971bee4f_z.jpg)

Leisure Suit Larry: Magna Cum Laude [PS2]
Madden 98 [Saturn]
Virtual Open Tennis [Saturn]
Sno Cross [PS1]
Card Games [PS1]
Ballistic [PS1]
40 Winks [PS1]
2 Namco Arcade Tokens from the mall



Finally, I came into work this morning to see that my copy of Neptunia Re;Birth was delivered!  There was a postal delay for some reason last week and I didn't get it before the long weekend.  Boo!

2014-08-02 HyperDimension Neptunia Re;Birth 1 Limited Edition for PS Vita by xelement5x, on Flickr

This game is actually insanely rare, only 1000 copies of it made and there were no preorders so you needed to be up at midnight 8/26 on Amazon to order it.  Thankfully it was limited to one copy per person, but it still sold out in like 12 minutes.  My US Neptunia LE collection is one neat set now.

Dude! Trust me, you will like Crusader of Centy. It is a good game.  (http://junk.tg-16.com/images/pcgs.png)


Well, I've already added this game to my completed list.  The back of the box advertises 40 hours of game play but, I did it in less than 1/4 of the time.  Overall, I liked the game.  The controls and story were cool.  The music was very good for a Genesis title.  The element of combining different powers with the animals you befriend is a neat touch.  Some of the over world sections were tough if a bunch of enemies were coming at you, due to the hit detection.  Swinging your sword to attack could be kind of funky.  I found the boss battles were too easy, even the last boss was super easy once I figured out which "special power" to use.  Overall it was a good game but, not mind blowing.  I don't think it was as good as it's current going rate suggests.  I think a lot of that has to do with the fact that it was a relatively small print run and is a decent action RPG.

Crusader of Centry is OK fun. I just remember beating it, that's about it.

it's no Shining Force...or Neutopia.

About all I have to say, at the moment.

Agreed.  Both Neutopias are awesome!  I hate to admit this but I am on an action RPG kick right now and I'm going through Y's books I&II for my first time.  The bat boss in the mine is currently kicking my ass.

Y's is good fun and all, and though it may be sacrilege around here, give Shining Force, the first one, on the Genesis, a try sometime. Good stuff, there.

My understanding is every PS3 game is region free.

Pachi Para 16, for when I just want to chill out and enjoy some pachinko in HD. Last of Us is actually the US version, funny thing is, even after paying shipping and customs, it was cheaper than getting it from the local store.

Not that it mattered too much since the JP ver. came out only a little bit before US. Or were you referring to the US ver. being locked as well so that JP players couldn't import from US?

The point is, it is a region locked game.  And yes, I believe they were more worried about reverse importation (people in Japan buying the US localized copy) as it dropped in price.  That's a huge concern with anime as well apparently, hence why a lot of companies release blurays with only an English dub and no Japanese audio.

Ah Cy-Kill. I could never get into Go-Bots. They always seemed like super-generic Transformers. The big ones were cooler though. Too bad there are only about, what, 10 Go-Bot characters total?

Not Cy-Kill in fact, but one of the rarer Super (big) Gobots, Throttle.  And I don't know much about the characters, I mainly just collect the toys because they change into stuff that Transformers usually don't like classic cars, WWII planes, etc.  Throttle here is a much cooler toy than any of his Transformers G1 motorcycle contemporaries, although I do wish I hadn't payed quite as much as I did for this one.

I've attached a picture of my small Gobots collection, because why not.(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/09/06/ehure6e4.jpg)

Toymachine, make sure to sample both MIDI versions and the FM synth on Castlevania Chronicles. All three are required X68000 experiences. Skip the arranged soundtrack. You have to use a code to enable the sound options. At either title screen hold down R1, L1, Start, and Select until the options screen appears.

Ya it's a pretty good game, 4 player so the whole family can get involved.
Santa sucks, you have to get him so close to the enemy to get hits but he is the one that gets it, The Easter bunny or the tooth fairy are the ones my kids use as they can strike from a distance. I got it for $15 so a good deal I think.

  My friends and I played the Buck Rodgers table top RPG when it came out, as well as AD&D. We liked it so much that my friend bought the SSI game for PC. It was an awesome game! It was everything that made the gold box games great in a sci fi setting. It was a great translation of the table top game.

Unfortunately, from what I've seen thus far, the genesis version pales in comparison. The music is repetitive and uninspired, and the graphics are no where close to the PC.  But I'll reserve final judgement until I actually play through it.  As long as the story is engaging and the gameplay mechanics are fluid, it can still be very enjoyable.

Last weekend I headed out to the Portland area for a friend of mine's wedding so while I was out there I did a bit of shopping and lots of walking around.

Portland Floating World Comics Pickups by xelement5x, on Flickr

This is from a really cool comics shop with lots of independent comics showcased as well.  I was really debating on picking up a copy of Haunter from Sam Alden but didn't really have $15 to drop on it so I grabbed a small compilation of some webcomics he had done instead.  I also grabbed a goofy sticker with a cat on it.  The DubbleBaby comics are pretty funny though, I wish there were more of them.

Ground Kontrol Arcade Portland - Pinball Machines by xelement5x, on Flickr

After the comic shop I went by a retro themed arcade called Ground Kontrol.  They had lots of regular arcade stuff too, but what really stood out to me was the pretty nice selection of pinball machines, there were even more behind me and around the corner.  They cost 50 cents to play, but I didn't really mind since there were a lot of options there.

Portland Pickups from Video Game Wizards by xelement5x, on Flickr

Ecco Jr [GEN]
Atomic Robo Kid [GEN]
Junction [GEN]

Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain Hint Guide [PS1]

I picked all these up from a store in Portland I visited called Video Game Wizards.  Prices were a bit high compared to my normal purchasing habits, and if there was no price they looked it up online, but took about 25-30% off the ebay completed prices.  They also had a bit of Turbo stuff too, but nothing I needed or wanted.  I didn't mind splurging a bit since it's rare I buy from retail places.  The employees were really cool to talk with for a bit before I took off to catch my plane too.


Last but definitely not least, I had some random cheap things I had ordered from ebay that showed up:

Silhouette Mirage Mousepad &amp; Surgical Strike MegaCD by xelement5x, on Flickr

Silhouette Mirage Mousepad from Working Designs
Surgical Strike for the MegaCD

I got a new promo item to add to my Working Designs collection!  This was being sold by someone else I'd bought a couple items from and was a dang good deal compared to what other recent mousepads have been selling at, despite it being a bit faded.  Surgical Strike was also a steal of a deal compared to its actual value.  It was listed on ebay at auction and I was the only bidder so I got it very cheaply.  This was the last Sega published game for the MegaCD in Japan so it's quite uncommon, and in Japan it is one of the most expensive titles for the system.

Ive heard speculation that it doesnt even exist but then Ive also heard that a few copies made it out.  Apparently there was a coupon in the manual for sega cd surgical strike that you could use to order a 32x version.  Either way it is quite rare if it even exists.  As far as fahrenheit... Isnt that also a hybrid cd / 32x cd game?

Layer Section is the best bang for buck for the Saturn, IMHO. Awesome game!

Does Layer Section require a ram cartridge? I bought Layer Section as my first import Saturn game. But my Saturn had to get some repairs done so i haven't been able to play it yet :(

I am planing on getting elevator action returns as my next Saturn import in October.

But as far as imports go I have a crazy long list of import wants. Sigh.

Maybe we should make a Saturn thread where we can compile a import list for us newbie Saturn owners.

For import and us releases alike that is.

Speaking of imports.... Anyone ever play Slime World for PCE? I loved it on the Lynx. Was thinking about picking it up for PCE or the Genesis.

The lynx version is actually a lot better sadly. The best part about Slime World is you get to check out Todd's hot girlfriend

No it doesn't need a ram cart but if you have a US Sat you need the Pro Action Replay to play Japanese games on it.

I doubt anyone doesn't like the graphics in Layers Section. It's a 2-D masterpiece. You might be thinking Raycrisis and Raystorm that some people don't like the 3d prerendered sprites and stuff

All I have so far is Bug, Dragon Force, and the 2 imports I just posted. It is daunting when I see the long list of import shooties I need to get for the Saturn and then look at the prices.  8-[

Nope. I've actually read reviews where they mention Layer Section's (Galactic Attack's) crude graphics. HG101 maybe? I can't remember. I was thinking, "What the hell are they smoking?!?" LS's stage designs and art are magnificent! I totally agree that it's a 2-D masterpiece.

I think I made a thread years ago here in Console Chat asking that very question. It's probably buried in the bowels of PCFX. Maybe one day someone will find it.

I just bought it based on the picture. $327 is a fair price, right? I reasoned it by saying $20 for the game, $307 for the nipple. What is the going rate on pixelized nipple these days?

just eBay. Some seller in Japan. I wish it was a better story than that, but I heard about it, looked it up and saw it was less than $30 (action replay) , so I bought it. Same with layer section, but I think that was $18.

Layer section doesn't require RAM cart - but you should definitely buy the 4 in 1 action replay cart if you haven't already.

So happy I found this locally! This thing is absolutely MINT. This must have been stored in a clean climate controlled environment. There are no scratches or even any dust or dirt  particles on it. I have been hoping to find one for a while locally and got lucky to find this today! Now I just need some pacs :D

Ahh possibly my favoirt Gundom series. Short. Sweet. And much more grity

To bad there was only the one dvd. Ahh back when they would milk the shit out of a 12 episode series. Only 3 episodes on a single dvd.  Sigh.

Shit, after the winter we got here in NW Ohio last year this would be the perfect item to slap a plow on the front and have fun running across the lake on.  I live in a smaller community within the city and my street dead ends into the lake.  Everyone out here busts out the toys when winter comes and I feel left out.

An extra set of cheap wheels and blizzaks are the best investment in the world.

Since I'm hoping to make a few trips up to Keystone this winter I figured some snows might be helpful.  Unfortunately my car has those silly TPM sensors so either I use one set of wheels or I buy a second set of sensors...

That's what scares me about getting a new mullet chariot - another set of sensors and they all have big brakes, so you gotta get big/expensive wheels and big/expensive tires.  It was about $800 for a set for my current ride, but it's more like $3000 now.  :shock:

I live with the low tire light on all winter.  I also MANUALLY check my tire pressures like they used to do in the old days.

I swung by my local thrift on Friday since I had a coupon and went to town a bit on the electronics section.

Duo/Genesis 1 AV cable
N64 Save Card
N64 TiltPAK (Sealed and looks pretty le dumbs)
PS2 Controllers x2
XBOX Controller (Pelican Brand)
Slim PS2 with all hookups (Yay! There is some black sharpie on it though denoting the previous owner)
Electric Carving Knife (for a side project)


These also showed up during the week

I got a couple SMS games from owly who picked them up locally and then sent them to me.
Captain Silver [SMS]
Slap Shot [SMS]

Plus when my inlaws came to visit they brought a box of stuff my wife and I had left in IL, including my awesome Kamen Rider mask!  I got this at the Japanese festival that was happening last time we were home, but wasn't able to pack it to bring back on the plane.


Finally, some stuff from feebay came in...

Just a simple batch of Genny games I grabbed off ebay.  Only three of them are new to me, which is kind of sad :(

Marko
Radical Rex
Wheel of Fortune
HardBall III
Sonic 3D Blast
Toy Story

Post by: Arjak on September 23, 2014, 04:55:44 AM
Toy Story was one of my favorite games as a kid, and not just because I loved the movie. It's actually a really decent action-platformer, with some really technically impressive levels (which were taken out of the SNES version, I believe). I'll always have a soft spot for the first-person level where you have to find the squeeze toy aliens in the maze. I thought it was so cool at the time, and now I can also appreciate how impressive it is from a programming standpoint.

Something I ordered that I'm really excited about should be coming today. It's not gaming related, but I'll try to post a picture anyway.

It's a 45 on top of some game we are supposed to guess. It looks modern so I have no idea what game it is. YU GHI GO

You figured out my intent.


Wrong game. Blah.

My old next-door neighbor used to have it, and we would play that bastard all damn day.

I'm thinking I will definitely pick that game up soon to rehash some old childhood memories.

I agree. Differences are pretty small compared to some other Genesis/SNES ports.

Haven't played it, but damn does it look good (which seems to be a rarity for the 32X, but I'll also admit that I've played very few games for it).

The PS1 port is also really solid, except for the odd lack of music during gameplay.

No proper ports of WWF Superstars, X-Men: The Arcade Game (until recently), or the Simpson's Arcade (once again, until recently) were crimes against humanity back in the 1990s

What I find, the worse the game the better the condition going forward for collectors 



EWJ 2  Fun game but the SNES dithers a lot and it is very noticable.  IDK why this is the case with so many colors to choose from and over 200 on screen there shouldn't be a dithered anything.  The game is good but not as good as the Original.  Only pick this up on the cheap like I did.

Holy hell did I play 1080 a lot growing up! I miss the old arcade style of snowboarding, skateboarding, and rollerblading games from the late 90s and early 2000s.

Hell, you can throw in the arcade style of sports games too from that era too. Wayne Gretzky's 3D Hockey, FTW!!!

I swung by the thrift last night and came across a ton of domestic releases of manga in comic form.  I am a sucker for all things anime and I saw some Satoshi Urushihara art peeking out so I had to bite.  It was a lot more than I normally spend at the thrift, about $50 for everything. 

I may have overpaid but everything looks like it is in fantastic shape and all the comics are already bagged and boarded so whoever had these before took care of them.  I'm missing a couple issues, but looking online I can probably get the missing ones for about $1 or so each.  Also, I'm thinking the previous owner might have been a bit of a perv because there are several "mature" series in here.

Nope! It's an decent game but kind of mediocre for Konami. Japanese version is Trigon. It has some cool scaling effects though and borrows some sounds and stuff from other Konami shooters from the same era.

Can you swap that Lighning Fighters over to a proper Trigon?  Trigon's appeal is the Trigon weapon pod, which was totally removed from the USA version, making it a rather generic go up and shoot game.

Get Super Mario 3D World Asap!


I actually mainly got it for the new Smash Bros and Hyrule Warriors. Though Mario 3D is on the maybe list.

Did you get Smash 3DS yet?  I am going to pick it up today and I am pretty pumped to give it a try.  The demo had a lot of promise.

Take Mario 3d off the maybe list and put it on the MUST HAVE list ;)

Honestly its the first new game I've played in a long time that was so fun it made me laugh and giggle like a little kid again.

I haven't had the chance to play Super Mario World 3D but everyone I know who has are saying it's the best Mario game in easily 20 years.

Must play.....

I played the demo and was definitely pleased. I have a 2DS and I had some difficulty with some of the moves. There isn't really anything to grip onto when holding it, so the system slid around in my hands when I was slamming the controls around. Had to resort to squeezing the system between my palms to support it which gave me a cramp. Wasn't fun. :lol:

Indeed, they were made for each other.

You could hunt down a a japanese Saturn or hunt down the black AR cart, or both. Having a spare Saturn is always a great idea.

Well this showed up in my mailbox the other day pretty much exactly 13 months from the date I ordered it. 

Quick Review:
Build quality is super solid and I commend them for delivering such a good package in the end.  The cartridge shell is brand new and custom imprinted with Super Fighter Team badging, manual was crisp, and the tray looked pretty good.  Two edges on the tray had been pushed in from what I'm assuming was the cart moving around during shipping, but I was able to pull them back out easily enough.

I played the game for quite a bit last night and it looks very good graphically, overall gameplay is a bit weak in my opinion.  The game has some very cheap enemies and scenarios that can get frustrating fast.  One part has you falling down a pit with stuff coming from all over the place with not very much time to react, and seems to encourage needing to memorize exactly where you need to be on every bit of the screen.  (Think of the falling levels in Mega Man 2 with the instant-kill lasers).

I was playing on easy mode and had fun, but there were times where it seems like you would just get stuck in a loop of continual deaths.  The power ups were also a cool addition to how the game played, but I would not play this one without a controller that has a turbo option. 

Overall:
Package: A
Gameplay: B/B-

The Dig!

I don't think I ever finished playing that. That was one of the later (for me) Lucas games...

I love the boxed NetScape Navigator, too.

I remember when all that crap was on the shelves.

I was cleaning this weekend and dropped some stuff off at the thrift to donate so I stuck my head inside to if there was anything good.  I found a couple things worth my time.

(https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3951/15555563596_10f95c289b_z.jpg)

Q-Ko-Chan Volume 1 Hardbound with slipcase
NBA Jam TE CIB [GEN]
Machine Hunter [PS1]
Quest 64 [N64]
Corvette [PS2]
Naki Sega Genesis Controller
Logitech Original Xbox Controller

A bunch of misc stuff here.  The NBA Jam cart took some major cleaning to get going but it is working now.  All the disc games are like scratch free too, it's pretty awesome.  The Naki controller is comfortable but the d-pad feels a bit meh, the up was a bit picky.  There were other Genesis titles there too but all were missing their manuals and I had them already so I passed on them, if they're available next week I might grab them at half price.


(https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3955/15397549039_d7eea078e9_z.jpg)

Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Books
Dungeon Master Guide (Revised)
Player's Handbook (6th Printing)
I saw these near the manga and remembered a friend of mine saying older D&D books are worth some money so I figured I would gamble on them.  I already handed them off to my friend who knows a lot about this kind of stuff to see if I can get any cash out of it. 

Most everything was 50% off so my total was $16.56  :P

I'm still waiting for mine to show up.  Did they send you an email letting you know that it was shipped?  I'm a little worried that they are sending it to my old address than my new one, despite them saying they got my new address.  Email responses from those guys are a little slow.

I had to check, but yes I did get an email saying they had shipped it.  All it was, was a generic email that says they shipped it and it should get to you in 3-10 days.  No tracking number/address information was included in the email so it just showed up one day at my house instead of work (where I normally ship stuff).

Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Books
Dungeon Master Guide (Revised)
Player's Handbook (6th Printing)
I saw these near the manga and remembered a friend of mine saying older D&D books are worth some money so I figured I would gamble on them.  I already handed them off to my friend who knows a lot about this kind of stuff to see if I can get any cash out of it. 

Most everything was 50% off so my total was $16.56  :P
1) those books aren't worth that much. 2) if you don't know and don't care, then stay the f*ck out of other people's hobbies, you f*cking wannabe profiteer parasites.

There were about 25 games for $7.50 each, but most were common (PGA Tour) and the others were in horrible condition. (Contact corrosion, torn labels, nullity piss, etc.)
Too bad superbomberman, megaman x, mario all stars needed a haz mat suit just to touch them.

It  starts with the cliff hanger from the first game.....PARTS of 2 (with ots of liberties).  Solid fun, but flawed.

I just got this awesome piece of the 90s in:

A Sega IR 7000 Communicator in Box
(https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5603/15526078749_294d3735cd_z.jpg)


It's basically a rebadged Casio Personal Assistant with Sega branding, geared toward the "rad" teens of the days. This was around the time Sega was trying to branch out more into kids toys instead of just video games.  This will go nicely with my set of PODS and the Pico.  It's funny that the Pico really was a bit ahead of itself as the Leapster and such type units have been very successful now.

I am so happy to have this game in my Saturn library.  Possibly the most expensive one I plan on getting.  Whew.

$320 free shipping. Expensive

Got it for $1. Wasn't expecting the box. I have the game and the box CE (new unopened) 

Want to try and get some of the xbox face plates from some of the games and more limited release ones. I thibk they might look cool put in a shadow box of some sort and displayed on a wall.

Pioneer VSX-917V Receiver with original manual and remote control.  Grabbed the speakers as well to test it with.

I've wanted a receiver for awhile and this was a solid price plus they give you 10 days for returns if anything is broken.  It seemed to be working fine from my tests last night so it will be cool to finally get a speaker system eventually.  There was also a DENON AVR-3803 for $30 that I thought about grabbing but decided I really didn't need two receivers, especially since the DENON didn't have HDMI support.

(https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3948/15111663884_761293013b_z.jpg)

Games:
World Series Baseball [GEN]
Jammit [GEN]
Mario Lemieux Hockey [GEN]
Tecmo Bowl [NES]
Ultra Racer 64 [PS1]

Comics:
Star Trek: The Enterprise Logs Comics
Hell-Car Volume 10
Weird Japanese Kids magazine from like 1995.

80GB HDD, Already wiped thank god.


This was just a weird bundle in general.

I'd been eying the Sega stuff for awhile and it finally went on discount yesterday, the NES cart was a new random find though and I don't have it so I snagged it, and despite being called an "Ultra Racer 64" this peripheral is for the PS1.  Go figure.

The comics were all cheapy and stuff I like so I grabbed them.  I will sell them for max profit like my AD&D books. 
In truth though I'll probably read them and pass them on to my brother-in-law who is a comic guy.  Except for the Japanese magazine, there is some Arle in that so it stay with me.  Other comics in the mag were Bomberman, Doraemon, and Mario that I saw; plus a weird rendtion of Beauty and the Beast.


Almost everything was discounted, and the total was $39.64 for everything. But I had a coupon from Totino's so I saved $20, making the receiver essentially free. 


Also, I didn't buy this but found it funny:

The MS4 kit contents and cart shell are slightly different than the normal MVS specs. 
Even the cardboard box is slightly smaller than the other Slug kits.

The MS4 kit contents and cart shell are slightly different than the normal MVS specs. 
Even the cardboard box is slightly smaller than the other Slug kits.
At one point, I had full/complete kits of MS1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.  Sold them all off last winter in preparation for a move to lighten my load.

Really?  Those are a few things I would have kept personaly.

I no longer had a working MVS board and sort of left the PCB/arcade gaming scene.
No sense keeping the kits around if they weren't being played.

Ever since restarting my Turbo/PC Engine buying, I've been thinking about My old Genesis and my regret of selling it to buy a PS1.  In retrospect, it was a dumb move, yes, but at the time, I thought "old games are old." So it is now that I am literally paying for my shortsightedness and have started trying to reacquire my genesis games of old. This was also helped along when I received my Selecty 21, allowing me to connect 3 21 pin RGB consoles to my system simultaneously.

I only have 3 games so far and received the latest 2 in the mail yesterday. Ultimately my genesis library wont be a large as my others, but I have a lot of fond memories of paying the system and am glad to be reaquainted with it.

I do, kinda. To my amazement genesis games have become stupidly expensive (I guess I should have expected it) but my short list is somthing like this:

Shinobi III: Own this on Sonic genesis Collection PS3 but would love to play it on original hardware.

Streets of Rage 1,2: Same for these though I owned them both back in the day.

MUSHA: (Can't believe what this is going for these days, its really nuts. This is one of the games I owned and LOVED before selling my Genesis to the dirty rats at EB Games. The game has stayed in my mind all these years later as my favorite Genesis game)

Castlevania Bloodlines: Never owned this, but after getting back into Rondo of Blood recently I'm very interested in checking this out.

Alisia Dragoon, Granada. Never played either but after seeing them on Gamesack I'd like to check em out. They look pretty cool.

Probably some more, I dunno to be honest I've kinda been shell shocked by the prices in general and have put off picking anything up unless I can get it for a decent deal, though even that is relative.

CIB Genesis used to be a lot more reasonable with the standouts being MUSHA and Crusader of Centy, the only ones in the 3 digit range.  It's gotten much worse just in the last year though, I think all the SNES folks are jumping ship because the prices are astronomical over there.

Makes sense, I also think the release of the Retron 5 had an effect on prices going up since you have to use real cartridges. I really couldn't have picked a worse time to be looking for games, lol.

SNES, Genesis, Turbo, and oddly GameCube have skyrocketed in the last year. I was at a retro game shop a few weeks ago and they wanted $115 for a loose Chrono Trigger and $50 for Mario Kart on GameCube! I paid $12 for my copy just recently! Hopefully this is the prices peaking out.

I think, ultimately, the best thing to do is get a Mega Everdrive and pick up the real games I cherish as funds permit. I found the Turbo Everdrive was a great tool in for "I just want to play the game" with the prices as they are.

Buy Megadrive (JP) - the low end is more expensive but the mid and higher end games can be a lot more reasonable in a lot of cases (but not every case)

Prices have been going up for complete genesis games.Though if you want to play musha,do you're self a favor and buy a everdrive and that will save you some money.

About that yea, but in my honest opinion its worth each and every cent. The picture you can get on a modern TV is stunning I honestly love the thing. Obviously if you have the room a nice CRT or Monitor is probably the best way to go, but adding another screen for me is not an option.

!! Man prices are freaking absurd now, but many of those are of the BIN > Price it high because we can variety.  Several of the last sold were around $350 though and a used "Mint" condition one sold for $200. If you're in the market for one, don't pay more than $350 and can probably do a little less if you wait for used one to go up.

Edit: Interesting. If you look as some of the higher priced "last sold" models the price listed is NOT the price it sold for. What happened was several units were sold, and since then the seller has increased the price and that increased price is what's showing up as the sold price, when in actuality the real sold prices were much lower.

For example, the seller who shows the last sold for 680, but when you check the buyer history the only 4 sold were all between $360 and $372. Dunno if this is an error on ebays part or not, but I guess the moral of the story is to do a bit of checking before you buy/bid :)

Tales of Hearts R [VITA] (GameStop Exclusive)
Victorious Boxers Revolution [Wii]
White Knight Chronicles II [PS3]

So I went to pick up my preorder of the new Tales game, just to discover that GameStop had gutted the last copy (mine) and had it on display.  They could give me no good reason for this, since they obviously didn't have any other copies to sell there should have been no reason to open the one I'd already reserved.  Sigh...

I got them to transfer my reserve to another store that hadn't gutted their copies and picked it up there instead.  While the transfer was going on I looked around the other store and found the Hajime no Ippo Wii game for a couple bucks, plus used a $10 coupon I'd gotten to buy White Knight Chronicles II for about $5.  It could have turned out worse I guess, but at least I have my game now!

I ordered a KSM440AEM lens for my PSX.

A couple weeks ago I got a SCPH-75001 PSX from an old friend. We were talking about games and I told him I've been sort of collecting systems since around 08. He asked me if I had the PSX and I said "well no, I use the PS2 to play the PS1 games". He pulled the box and said "well, you can have this Playstation if you want it" I said "sure, thanks buddy". As it is right now, I have to put it on the side (turning it upside down doesn't work), so it reads backups, it still struggles reading originals.

Vay is moderately ok - my least favorite part about it is that apparently when WD was screwing around with increasing the difficulty of the game prior to US release, they inadvertently made the second boss' hit point count insanely high.

You basically just repeat the attack-attack-heal/item loop for like a full hour before you kill him. Major test of patience. After that the rest of the game is easy as shit.

Lol, yeah you have a bit more to go.  I don't envy anyone trying to collect the WD stuff now because prices for complete items have just skyrocketed from what I've seen.  I'm done with my set thankfully, I just try and grab promo items whenever I find them cheap.

Vay is by far my least favorite Sega CD game from WD.  I don't know if I can pin down exactly what it is, but their other SegaCD games outshine it easily.  Still, having 3/4 of the games you released on a platform being awesome is a good track record.

Which is why those have been on the back burner until I finish the saturn and tg-16 stuff. Then I'll jump on the ps 1&2 stuff.

With my luck by the time I get to the ps 1&2 stuff prices will have jumped ...

Most of the PS1 games aren't too badly priced, it only gets nuts when you start trying to go for variants and you wind up paying the "resonable" price multiple times over.  That and waiting for the specific variant you need to show up at auction or a reasonable price.  It look me a loooong time to find them all.

Yeah.  I am glad that the ps2 wd games are still cheap and most of the ps1 games are also cheap.....


Which is why those have been on the back burner until I finish the saturn and tg-16 stuff. Then I'll jump on the ps 1&2 stuff.

With my luck by the time I get to the ps 1&2 stuff prices will have jumped ...

Most of the PS1 games aren't too badly priced, it only gets nuts when you start trying to go for variants and you wind up paying the "resonable" price multiple times over.  That and waiting for the specific variant you need to show up at auction or a reasonable price.  It look me a loooong time to find them all.

I tho ight about chasing variants at one point. But for now will be happy with a complete set for each system. Maybe later later try for variants. Maybe

Sega Saturn
Sega-cd

Congrats on the PS4 too.  I think it will end up being the best of this last generation here in a few years.  Right now I feel like the Wii U holds that spot but I can see the PS4 passing it up at some point.  I think the XB1 will end up third but not a distant third.  All my opinion of course.  And there will be fun games for all of them.

On a side note.. I really like the PS4 controller over past PS controllers.  Its like the changed it enough to improve it but not enough to make it too different from past designs.

I like that you can use the PS4 controlor on the PS3  I have yet to try it. Or even hold thr PS4 controler. But the idea of it is cool to me

To use it on PS3 you have to plug it in directly and cant use it wirelessly.  Unless theyve made updates that change that.  Still pretty neat that you can do that.

Thanks things do run allot smoother on the PS4 compared to the PS3.Also i like the fact when you download a game or firmware you can play any thing,while you wait.Ive downloaded a few games for the PS4 until i can buy some later on.I'm still put off by the fact that online play isn't free without a plus account.Still at least (playstation plus) gives out discounts and free games as well beside cloud saving.

I got a smoking deal yesterday...

Brand New XBOXONE
Brand New COD-AV
12 Months XB-LIVE
Brand New additonal XBOXONE Controller
Used Kinnect Device

I paid $400 for all of this.  Now I know these new systems are a bit underwhelming in terms of a next gen leap but I feel these consoles will have legs and will improve over time.  I played through the first level of COD-AV last night and I had fun with it.   While I saw a graphical and resolution advancement well above the XBOX 360 the jump wasn't super special like going from 16BIT to 32BIT.  The level of detail is HUGE and there are much larger levels to battle through, that was the biggest improvement.  For this price I feel it was a no brainer and I REALLY enjoy the Kinnect Voice commands, really changes how you do everything with entertainment.  It even Pauses, FF, RWD, steaming video commands off my Fios and has the guide so everything is through the XBOX now.  It even finds what ever you want through voice commands plus the gestures are cool.  This Generation of Kinnect is a HUGE jump over the original Kinnect, vastly superior in every way.

COD really does make a cool jump over the older variants, I'd say get it even if on XBOX360-PS3 and if you upgrade to a new system before March they let you play the game on the newer systems.

I'm still of the belief that the PS4 will ultimately end up on top this generation.  Wii U is currently the best though ;)

COD AW is alright, you just gotta make sure you deck your character out properly...

It's a rom burner/reader. I can do stuff like dump roms, write eproms to fix dead ones on pcbs, make genesis repros etc. I got it because I have a lot of arcade PCBs and friends with pinballs and you need to have one to dump updated voice samples and stuff for pins. I also want to make some sega genesis translated conversions.
I also would like to make some of those hu cards of some of Pauls games using those blank hu cards that were available for a while

I was very excited to find the Gold controller Pro in the wild. Normally it came bundled with that GoldenEye game so finding it loose at a semi-cheap price was a nice score. The other games were random pickups that were cheapo.

Green Logitech Wireless Xbox Controller
Sega Saturn Games 3 Pack

I got very lucky on this copy of the Saturn 3 Pack, it is brand new and ended at a very low price off the ebay. Those in the know about Saturn games will notice something very special about this copy (or should I say, something this copy is missing)

The Xbox controller I found at the thrift for a couple bucks. I've been trying to find a wireless Xbox pad of decent build quality for awhile so I'm happy to finally have this one.



For black Friday I picked up a couple things online, but nothing is here yet.  I did buy a ton of tubs of cat litter at PetSmart though, woo

I loved EGMs too back during the 90s while I was attending jr. high school.  IMO it just smoked GamePro, and had more reviews/coverage per issue...  also remember vividly though how each monthly issue, I would get discourage how few TG-16 or CD games were avail for review, while Sega and SNES got tons of features...  highlight was reading about the upcoming SCD and Super System card 3, with preview of Gate of Thunder (only avail at Japan then).  I think that was the Jan/Feb issue back during 1993 or something.  Made me so proud.. lol.   My mom actually brought GoT and a Sys card 3 from Taiwan as a gift when she traveled there, but unfortuately it took me another 3 months or something to get a PCE-to-TG convertor to read the System card 3... damn COD shipping lol.  Booting up GoT for the 1st time before anyone of my friends could though was the best thing ever, remember my buds drooling over it.. good times, good times.

xElement5x, I found one of them Saturn 3 packs in the wild brand new sealed a year or so ago for $15. I swiped it up immediately.

Ha - my buddy back in the day had the "Nintendo Strategies" book with the horrible cover. Back then nothing beat the black cover Official Nintendo Players Guide; solid book from front to back. Still have that one floating around, though my folks got rid of my magazine collection (spanning EGM, GamePro and Game Players magazines for issues 1 through like 100 for each) when I was in college. Only things that survived were EGM #2 and a handful of others.

I liked EGM as a kid, but I really loved GamePro the most. I loved GamePros illustrations, but most importantly I liked their reviewers and review system.

For some reason my gaming tastes always aligned with GamePro. In most cases, especially in the later years, GPs scores would align closely with others; but I do not remember that being the case in the 90's.

I know there were a couple of times where games were rated mediocre scale (3.0) by GP, but good to great (4-5) by other publications. It never failed my gaming tastes and experiences always aligned with GP. I miss GP :(

This is a much less common variant that doesn't have the "save $15" callout in the upper right corner.  I've been looking for this variant for awhile and got lucky that I finally found a copy.  Getting it new and sealed was an extra bonus :)

But damn did that thing have tons of typos and grammatical errors!  Also, check out the placeholder art for the Zelda II box.  Lol.

Not only that, but it showed that the games were worthy of serious attention and not simply disposable bubblegum. All those old maps...to think about making them prior to screencaptures and PhotoShop...you had to draw them or take photos of the screen. Ha!

Yup.

In an ancient post on one of the old boards we used to frequent (not sure which one, but I think it was post-GameFAQs), I likened this Vigilante cover to the films (and commercial art) surrounding Dario Argento and Italian giallo films.

I wish I had saved it, because I really think the Vigilante cover is exquisitely brutal. Too brutal for a game marketed for kids, since the horror is in the *anticipation* and dread of "what next?"

Funny you bring this up.  I was just browsing through this very issue over the weekend.  It was the magazine that offered up the first ever coverage (complete with awesome pics and screenshots) of the PCE here in the States.  I was in awe back then.

2014-12-05 Black Friday Pickups by xelement5x, on Flickr

I took advantage of some nice deals this past Black Friday

Tales of Hearts R [Vita]
Tales of the Abyss [3DS]

Bamco was doing a 40% off two or more Tales games so I jumped on that to get both games that I wanted.  I'm going to return the copy of Heart R I bought from GameStop to cover the cost.

Dishonored: Game of the Year [PS3]
Theatrhythm: Curtain Call Limited Edition [3DS]

Bought these from Best Buy at a nice discounted price.  I've heard good stuff about Dishonored but just wish I'd gotten a regular cased version.  This is the first GH PS3 game I've purchased and it looks like a boil on the shelf.  Oh wells. Curtain Call comes with the music CD and extras from the first print, I couldn't justify the initial cost despite how fun the first game was.

2014-12-05 GameStop Pickups by xelement5x, on Flickr

Genji: Days of the Blade [PS3]
Gem Smashers [Wii]
Morphx [3600
Bandfuse: Rock Legends [PS3] (with guitar cable)
Official PS3 Charging Station

All the used games were cheapies from the local GameStops, under $2 CIB.  Bandfuse was actually brand new and cost a whopping $2.97.  The game is still sealed and everything, though the box is open.  I've always wanted to play the Rocksmith type games and this is the cheapest entry point I've ever seen.

The PS3 Charging station is the official Sony one and is pretty sought after.  I have one of these and they're very nice, never had a problem with it and now I don't have to putz around with cables so a second at a good price is quite the welcome addition.


I also got the Kingdom Hearts Collector's Edition last week, but that's already been wrapped up and put under the tree for my wife for Christmas.  Glad I preordered when I did as there is no way I would buy one at the ebay prices people are asking.

Find the thickest, fattest plastic tie you have and firmly tighten it (without overtightening). Cut off excess strap  (duh!). Throw glue around it, if you wish, but the tie alone should stop casual tugs.

Most light gun boards I have seen usually implement a new geo controller.  Granted it is all home made stuff so if you can make your own light gun to play jams and pcb board then I am sure you could make it to recognize a nam on light gun or something?  Hmmm

Bluebeams - I loved PC Gamer too.  I think theh first issue I bought it came with a trial for MAster of Magic on floppy... that was awesome.  I bought their 1st issue (Wing Commander 3) that started to bundle CD discs and still saved the CD with the sleeve.  think I have it somewhere in my closet!!

I used to pour over this other PC Gaming mag, dont remember if its the same Strategy one you mentioned, just remember it was always pretty packed, thick mag filled with content.  Some good games back then:  Lands of Lore, Sam & Max, Days of Tentacle, Under a Killing Moon

2014-12-11 Doujin CDs by xelement5x, on Flickr


A bunch of random doujin albums I had picked up cheaply.

Bottom row is all Cool & Create albums. Two random Touhou ones that were cheap, and one with remixes from shooters.

Top row is two Woodsoft titles, I seem to like what they have put out so I've been grabbing more albums when I find them. Top left looks like a preview for the tiny treasure series. Middle is PC Engine tunes (as you could probably guess from the cover).

Top right album is the Sing!! Sega Game Music album. This is a funky little album because not only does it have regular tracks on it, it's got a playable version of Teddy Boy for the Mega-CD on there too. I consider is a MegaCD game for this reason and had to have it so I snagged it at a low price at auction. More info here for anyone interested:

So I see the stuff in games for the Amiibos but what exactly can you do with them?

They are nintendo's answer to skylanders i guess.


Yes, but WTF is Skylanders?

Never played it myself but it is a spin off of the spiral the dragon games where you collect these figures that use a platform (think e reader for the GBA) and can be used to directly add characters in the game instead of selecting a character.

So you are playing for the game

A set up to have your character read and inputed in said game

Various additional characters and boosters to affect game play or crest a team

In game staue are saved to said game statue

And now we have various imitators like Disney and now the Aminbos

At lest that is my take on what it is based on ads.


A much more expensive verson of the old e reader for the GBA.

I always thought fighting card games would be the one to use this platform more successfully but they have seemed to have found a market for this stuff.

Recent stuff. The super fantasy zone was a goddamn steal on eBay - don't know how I got away with it. This is like the 8th version of revenge of shinobi I own, too. Never too much of a good thing!

I got me one of them there Mega Drive clones.  This thing is BEYOND cheap and is mostly thin, empty plastic with no real quality to be found.  The controllers are equally thin and a lifeless D-Pad however it is a Mega Drive and plays games well and I can use y Original Sega Pads so there is that.  The sound is off on the games built in, especially Sonic which sounds VERY weird.  The Carts seems to play OK.

Out of curiosity, do any of the games on that multicart differ in any way from the originals?  I have this famicom "power joy" multicart & most of the games are unaltered, but there's this one version of Dig Dug with hello kitty shoehorned into it as the player character, simply dubbed "Kitty".  Seems like they traded one property to rip off for another. :/

Super Hang On
The Lion King
NHL 95
Spider-Man
Gold Game Genie
NHL Football '94

All these are super de-duper minty except for NHL 95.  I'm amazed, it's like they were opened once and only played a couple times.  The manuals and inserts don't even look like they were ever removed from the cases.

Montana 94 is the kind of game I played a couple times. I prefer Montana 2, that (along with Sonic) got me into the Genesis and changed my gaming history forever

Nice pickups, Dan. I think your Sony PVM may be the same model as mine. I'd like to find another just like it as mine has a little screen burn-in. Thankfully it isn't too noticeable with most games.

Sponge candy is so good. I brought a bunch in to work today for my co-workers. So far Guilty Gear is pretty good. I've only played it twice so far, and its going to be on the back burner for a bit until after i take a Cisco exam on 12/29

I would love the amiibo thingies if 1. They were $5 each and 2. They didn't have that interactivity thing with the wii, which I care nothing about.  Instead of these, I would have loved to have figures styled properly after the "trophies" but with articulation.

Nintendo needs to curb this now before it gets out of hand. As we have seen collectards can taint nearly anything of value.
Sadly resellers are taking advantage of it all ready since marth and the villager have a limited run.


Luckily I have no interest in these to start so I am spared reseller on this one.


Honestly if I did buy any I was going to wait for some sort of clearance and pick up a few as mini statues to place around my TV

From what I can see, all the amiibos can be bought locally in electronics stores and videogame shops at retail price in Germany. Even the Villager and others that are called rare in the US.

I also heard that the figures can be used from any country. You don't have to buy a US one. Apart from the packaging being different.

I remember watching that video when someone (maybe you) posted it on the chat. Looks really cool! From what i remember from the video, the pce supported that thing, but only on a few games? Either way, it would definitely be worth it for those few games. It looked like a lot of fun to use.

Yeah I'm excited to try Blood Gear. And Gulliver Boy probably won't be played for a little while. I've been itching to play some Cosmic Fantasy 1. SamIAm's little write-up on Gulliver Boy made me really want it, though. I'd recommend that. Can't remember if the brothers duomazov reviewed it or not.

Is that an actual Nintendo Cart? ....figuring out what the rest is... though my older mind does recognize the word, "Gundam".

Its not a real NES cart. its only a few inches tall. It is this mystery toy where you don't know what cart you will get until you open it. turns out that gold one is rare and goes for $10, MSRP for the toy is $10

GTFUOH!

It really has a cart?

NES carts, some, are so cheap, for cannibalizing, it seems, so... Would nto surprise me.

Pokémon. Never got to know them, I knew folks with Tamagotc(h?)is. Pets you had to feed, play, and stuff, electronic.

Wowoza!

Mind me, Muchniaz, I'm just being an, in my own mind, silly "old fart". All I think of, when I see stuff like that on a sofa, is when I got all, "THE REAL GHOSTBUSTERS" action figures, propped on a sofa, x-mas morning. No idea, where they are, at a relative's house, but I still have, "Fearsome Flush". Fearsome Flush is a bad mofo....

The score of the year for me. Brand new with everything included (even the screw on joystick).

15 years ago or so, I got one of these (which I still have) on sale at my local Officedepot. It was awesome for pretty much everything. The first game I tried with it was OMF 2097.

This was a great find. 


And it isn't gamestop new  it is actually still sealed. I think I picked this up and put it back down a few times but ultimately knew I had to have it.

Also picked up a few PSP games. I think I might have the Lunar game for PSP but am not 100% sure. All three games are complete with booklet and finding comete PSPgames in a Game stop is a real pain even when the system still had games being released.

With their buy two get one free used games the Lunar came out free so it was worth the gamble that I might already have it.

Somewhere out west there is a cliff overlooking a deep canyon filled to the brim with a mix of tears and PSP Lunar games. It doesn't pay to be a fan of Lunar in the modern era.

I have one of these still new/sealed in retail box. I don't need it though, in case someone would be interested in getting it off of me in a sale or trade.

EDIT: Looks like mine is a tad later then yours. The box for mine varies somewhat.

Anyway, I got a lot of DB15 based pc game pads, and I have one that connects to the keyboard also, so this one just ended up staying sealed in its box unused.

I used to have that Gravis gamepad way back in the day before more modern USB controllers. It was one of the few options I could use. It's OK. Gets the job done. Not really the best for something like Street Fighter or anything but decent. Felt kind of light, flimsy and cheap.

Yeah, I'm not a huge fan of it. The GRIP support doesn't work right with a few of the fighters I like to play that use Dos, which is mainly why I didn't bother to open and use this one. For stuff like Doom, Need For Speed SE, and a lot of other normal titles/non-fighters, it works rather well though if you know how to get GRIP support going. Honestly though construction wise it is made no worse then any PS1 gamepad or anything. I have had maybe 5 of them in my life, and not one has ever broken on me.

That's the one I got back in 99, it only has the Win95 driver. The 95 driver doesn't work on 98SE. I remember having to hunt down the 98 driver since the Gravis ftp sucked.

I never used GRIP in Windows. I only used the gamepad in DOS as far as Grip support goes. I do have the last software releases for it though. I keep all of that saved.

I'm not the biggest fan of the d-pad with the screw in stick. Reminds me of the early Sega Master System pads.

With that said, I admittedly have a few Gravis Game Pad pros around. Back in the day the game port one was my primary controller for playing DOS games.

One Must Fall... I had to look it up, to double check if it was the game from Epic. It is. I was never that into the game, but I remember it!

I haven't used a gravis gamepad in ages. I last used it with my 486, and maybe later my Pentium 2. My 486 was already 100mhz, so I skipped the first Pentium.

I had the older style Gravis Gamepad, with just the directional pad, and the 4 action buttons. It too, had the screw on stick.

I think I may have used the Gravis Game Pad with Nesticle. I forget.

My mind is a bit fuzzy, but I am pretty sure I played Xargon, Jazz Jackrabbit, and I may have had it working with Duke Nukem (Not 3D). I could have also used it with Commander Keen. A lot of Apogee games, and similar. Monster Bash, etc.

This thread did make me remember a game, takes place in a pyramid, I guess. It had an Egyptian theme?, It was a puzzle game, I think involving pushing blocks at times, and snakes were a common enemy that would kill you if you bumped into them... Early 90s PC game.. I'm searching online, but can't find anything about it, so far. I remember, a text screen that appeared in the game, like reading a clue for the screen's puzzle, and it has some mentions about a paradise city, where there is green grass, and pretty girls. So, that gives me a date to go on...


*Edited - I found the title of the game I was thinking of, above. Paganitzu! (http://www.mobygames.com/game/paganitzu) I'd not thought of Paganitzu in many years, so that may mean I should make some time for it, in the next year. I don't recall ever playing it with a Gravis Game Pad, however I did play it around the time I was using a Gravis Game Pad.

Paganitzu was a classic game. Folks forget the name, but they remember playing it. If I recall correctly, the guy who created it had a game prior (or afterward?) that was very similar.

Heh I just started that game back up last week. If you go a year or so between clearing the game you'll forget most of the star systems and it'll be like a whole new game again. I think it's a brilliant game.

Nowadays I actually play that fan remake Ur Quan Masters on the PSP lol.  I guess they also have it for PC etc.  It lets you pick and choose between PC and 3DO versions of music, text, voice, videos etc.  Kind of nice since I liked some things on the PC version but I also enjoyed the voices etc of the 3DO version.

Excellent game that is always worth a replay.  Though it doesnt feel nearly as vast as it did when I was a wee little one, its still quite big.  It amazes me that every star is a system you can explore, mine etc.  In a typical game you might visit 50 star systems... there's what like 400 + in the game?  I've never counted, but there's a ton.

I just spent all afternoon exploring the majority of the lower left hand quadrant in SCII on 3DO. You could cheat and use the guide in the manual that shows you where all the richest systems are, but nothing beats coming across a Ruby or Sapphire World/Moon in a seemingly non-descript star system.

I have the PC and Ur-Quan Masters versions on my computer also. I didn't like the PC version since the viewing window for the planet lander was a fraction of the size that it is in the 3DO and Ur-Quan Masters versions.

I liked the planet information as text rather than pictograms.  There was something about knowing exactly how hot the surface was (2560 C, yeah its hot!)  that I appreciated.  Class 7 weather... eh... I guess I can make it.  Class 8 tectonics, time for some fancy navigating!

I will say I thought the voice acting in the 3DO version was awesome!

Nice.


I am slowly dipping my but toe in the MVS scene again.


I think one of my New Years resolutions is to try and buy one MVS cart every two months but complete kit if possible.

The 3DO has this too. It'll give an icon followed by a number marking its intensity. For example, extreme weather would be a lightning bolt followed by an 8. Unless you're best friends with the Melnorme do not land! :)

Edit:

That's one thing about violent planets. Weaving around earthquakes and firestorms? Totally doable with a pair of quick thumbs. Lightning that would send Zeus cowering under the kitchen table? Don't even try it! Those lightning storms are bias.

Best way to get better at smash is to look up some competitive videos. There are also a lot of videos on youtube that explain smash mechanics. You don't have to play at a competitive level, but if you at least understand the mechanics of the game you will see improvement

In case you haven't heard Stardock won the rights to make the next Star Control game. It's being said that, like the JJ Abrams Star Trek reboot, the next SC will be an alternate timeline taking place a few decades before SCII. I am hoping the game will be in good hands though it'll never be a true SC game until Toys for Bob can pull themselves away from Skylanders. Even with all that in mind a new adventure in the SC universe is exciting to think about. From what I've read the team working on the game are huge fans of the series and are taking the lore very seriously. As of now the game has been in development for about a year I think.

I don't know what it is about Wonder Project J2 but I've wanted a copy of it ever since die hard game fan featured it years ago.

I wasn't posting here, at that time, though :(   So, it was dumped at electronics recycle.

bitd, arcades could send boards back to capcom to get the games changed for a new one.
it just so happens that capcom was pretty lazy, and would just put the new sticker over the old one.

Picked up a Retron 5 system. As much as a purist I am for original hardware and I have alot of Super Famicom RPG's, the recent firmware update that adds support for IPS translation patches made it too hard for me to ignore.

I got this bad boy off of www.neo-geo.com (http://www.neo-geo.com/).  Some good sales can still be had if you are willing to sift through the B.S.

This is a gamer condition U.S. Copy of Fatal Fury Special.  The Japanese copy is common as dirt but the USA version is more rare.  I got it for $35 shipped, why not.  This is my favorite Non-Real Bout Version of Fatal Fury.

From Wiki....

Quote
Fatal Fury Special is an updated version of Fatal Fury 2 and features many of the same graphics and gameplay, although some slight changes were made to the system, including faster game speed and an all new combo system.
The character roster of Fatal Fury 2returns. The four computer-only characters from the previous game (Billy Kane, Axel Hawk, Laurence Blood, and Wolfgang Krauser) can now be controlled by the player, and three characters from the original Fatal Fury(Tung Fu Rue, Duck King, and Geese Howard) return, increasing the number of playable characters to fifteen. Ryo Sakazaki, the protagonist of Art of Fighting, appears as a hidden opponent at the end of the Single Player Mode and is playable in the home versions.

Unlike the previous Fatal Fury games, Special allows the player to combine or "combo" their attacks. When an attack lands, the player will have a brief moment of invincibility. The number of Line Move Attacks have also increased. This time pressing the light punch or light kick button while the opponent is on an opposite line will perform a Low Line Jump Attack.



I really like using Ryo Sakazaki and can do some damage with him
and Bogard.

This has finally come in from AnimEigo and the build quality looks great!  This was a Kickstarter project done awhile ago and was awesomely organized and put together.  It took awhile, but the engagement from the organizer and results make me feel like my funds were not wasted. 

I got the following Premium Version of the remastered Blu-Ray Set which comes with a chipboard box to hold the three cases.

Plus:
Challenge Coin
Mega Tokyo Keychain
BubbleGum Crisis Embroidered Patch
6 Postcards with BGC artwork

I haven't tested the roms to see the region yet, i guess i can do that now with my programmer :D
I believe it's a Japanese board though. There are no korean chips, says made in japan and the sound IC thing is bolted down. I think the korean USAAF says made in korea on the pcb

That's an image from the opening of Ys 4 so I doubt it came with Ys Book 1&2. :) No matter what it's pretty awesome and I'm betting it's newly printed.

I wish they had a Duo/TurboGrafx-16 adapter so I could use pads with a normal-sized jack on my moon-sized Turbopad input.

Never saw that PC Engine spine of one of the Ys Goddesses. Is that newly printed or an original that came with the Japanese Ys Book I & II ?

Sunteam_paul made bookmarks and gave them out with orders of the printed PCE Gamer Fanzine compilation.

Rush'n'Attack was a fun game too BITD. Dragon Warrior I got free from that Nintendo Power issue deal; if you like RPGs, that's one of the Enix classics that helped start the craze here in the US. The sequels only got better with bigger worlds, more enemies, graphical improvements, etc. Nintendo Nerd did a good review of the TMNT there, it featured that difficult part with that jump or so. I beat it, but it was just filler gaming material. And on Gradius, it's a fine Konami shooter, but Lifeforce had more replay value and was much more enjoyable.

Dragon Warrior = Dragon Quest right? The first one was so clunky and designed to be annoying, but it was fun.

Post by: SuperGrafx on January 10, 2015, 11:38:50 AM
In addition, I'm pretty sure that Utlima III: Exodus beat Dragon Warrior to the market by several months here in the US.
It's just that DW was promoted like crazy by Nintendo in issues of Nintendo Power leading up to its release.  They even printed a pseudo clue book in one of their issues.  That made all the difference.  And I thoroughly enjoyed this game with my friends back in 1989.

Post by: Mathius on January 10, 2015, 12:03:00 PM
Solid line-up there, Chany. I never even knew of that GI Joe game. Agreed with Nightwolve on Gradius. Cool history making game, but Life Force beats it to a pulp with its engaging atmosphere and music. THAT MUSIC! Even a better port than Salamander on the 'ol Engine IMO.

And don't count out The Little Mermaid. It's a Capcom classic when they were at their best. Not their best compared to the other Disney games of the era but very solid.

2015-01-11 Thrift SMS Finds by xelement5x, on Flickr

Fantasy Zone: The Maze
Rambo III
Global Defense
Double Dragon
Shanghai

I also found a brand new copy of Reel Fishing and an extra power cord (which is always helpful to have around).


I also finally got a box with some stuff I had been waiting for from Japan.

2015-01-11 Japan Shipment 1 by xelement5x, on Flickr

Super Famicom with 2 Controllers (no hookups but that's fine)
Mario & Wario (I got 2 of these so I can gut the other)

3x3 Eyes Mega CD Hint Guide (It's full color and very nice looking!)

Some Hudson Volumes:
Super Momotarou Densetsu [PCE]
Sadakichi Seve Hideyoshi no Ougon [PCE]

Pluuuus, all sorts of random goodies here!

First up is Pokemon on a non-Nintendo console! It's a Pokemon education game for the Sega PICO that teaches kids about Hiragana and Katakana.

More Hudson Volume!  BeBall and Necromancer for the PC Engine. Be-Ball was the first PCE game I ever played and I'm happy to finally have a complete copy.

A white Sega Saturn Mouse to match my JP console

Sorcerian for the Mega Drive

A cloth Grandia map (I think it was a preorder bonus)

Anime Freak Vol 1 and Welcome to Pia Carrot for the PC-FX. I already got a copy of the translated version of Pia but wanted a real copy too.

Finally, a copy of the Kenichi Sonoda Sukebu Collection. It's kind of a doujin release but has a lot of cool sketches in it covering the work he did. It is a cool addition to the BubbleGum Crisis BluRay set I now have.

No, it was listed as not working.  He just got back to me, and basically told me he has no idea if it works, since he could not test it without a controller or games.  He got it in some sort of game buy or something.  I guess someone selling their stuff off to a game store??  Anyway, I am pretty excited to get this machine and fire it up.  I am curious if it works or not.

Ya for sure, i like it but the d-pad seemed spongy. So when i took it apart and was cleaning everything (which i do to everything lol), i also swapped the rubber contact with one from a nes controller. Made a huge difference and it feels very tactile now.

Today I found some boxed items on Craigslist  I paid $50 for the whole lot.  Normally I stay away from these boxed lots as they are almost certainly overpriced but today I think I did good.  Nothing rare but I like nice clean items.  Everything works but the Gameboy Battery.  The Lynx is 100% complete and even has the plastic baggies for everything.  I always was impressed with the Lynx.  I remember seeing behind a glass case in Toys R Us way back when with California Games Demo playing and the wave looked so cool during the Surfing Mini Game.  I prefer the Lynx 1 over the Lynx 2 purely for esthetics, I know it isn't as good and doesn't even have stereo sound via the headphones.

I've been reluctant to buy fighting games because i also don't own a 6 button pad. I'll just burn them once i do get one though.

I think i actually want a Hori 6 pad more than the Ave 6 pad. I hear the Dpad is much better. But, if i ever find a decent looking Ave 6 pad that isn't crazily priced (which they seem to be sometimes, on the good ole bay) then I'll still pick it up. I understand your troubles in finding a decent Ave 6 pad

I brought both types of pads to both VGS and Octurbofest. The Hori pad is definitely better.

Nice Dragon Slayer! Seems hard to find (on ebay that is) for under $100. Weirdly. I think I'll just burn it soon.

  Yeah, I'm thankful that is one I already owned from childhood. It really is a great game.

Got this yesterday. They are for sale like.... never, when wanting them on the cheap.

(http://www.retrosampling.se/Temp/marty.png)

Been sold as "Buy It Now" non working for 600$ here for over a year.
Then around christmas it was as an action beginning at 100$ (and Buy It Now), no else bid but me...
and when the seller tested it before shipping it worked flawlessly, the discdrive were suppose
to be banged up, he over charged the shipping by 3 times the amount but hey that suddenly didn't do a thing =)

Good deal approved by:

This is a total collectard post, but after 6 years of searching I finally completed the NTSC Sega Master System re-release variants set, all complete in box with manual. I now have everything released in North America, ever, including variants (except for a UPC sticker Sonic, which is easily duped and I refuse to pay $1200+ for).

(http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15/01/17/2a1a3b938a4d819021482860fea9cf08.jpg)

Rambo and Choplifter hadn't shown up on eBay in years (except for one Rambo auction that ended north of $200). Some guy posted both on the same 3 day auction and was able to nab them finally.

If anyone's unfamiliar, these are games that Sega re-released (mostly as blue label carts instead of red label, but all with different packaging) for the SMS shortly before the Genesis came out. They were printed in extremely small quantities with some being rarer than others (Rambo is the hardest to come by).

I'm done being a collectard now. Complete set collecting is for the birds.

For me some local old school bits and pieces...Love the odyssey game artwork and packaging, oh I also got a vadar 2600 with it.

Variant collecting is completely retarded - *technically* the "Sega for the 90's"-stickered games are also variants, but they're so impossibly hard to identify via auction, and there are no other differences except for the stupid sticker, and maybe a copyright or trademark on the back of the manual.

Most people don't consider them part of a "complete" set, but you can drive yourself mad trying to collect every single version and variation of things like this. If you think that's bad, there are an insane amount of variants for the Genesis and SNES (stuff like Castlevania Bloodlines Konami Clamshell vs. Majesco Cardboard  version 1 vs. Majesco Cardboard version 2...et al).

I decided to draw the line at the full NTSC set and "official" variants, and call it a day, haha.

And it's totally possible to make fake stickers and make your own variants, same with the Sonic, Golden Axe Warrior, Spiderman and Strider UPCs.

Not sure what world you are in where you find $25 shock troopers and $30 windjammers but sounds like a great place to be!

Yeah Bernie they are MVS carts, these are just cases made up for them and the are HUGE. MVS carts are a lot more expensive these days but you can pick up a multi cart if you wanna get into neo games and still use real hardware

Until then I'll just keep playing my non-expanding AES library loaded with commons. Which, sadly, has been ruined by shitty resellers along with the more popular and expensive AES titles.

I am pretty collectardy when it comes to variants.  Getting the Working Designs variants was one of the coolest things I ever finished, and thankfully it was before prices on stuff went nuts.  I am a big WD fan in general but the variants were neat to suss out and find over a long period of time.

Other than that I only really hunt out variants if it is a small set or I accidentally come across them.  Like I have Greatest Hits and Regular versions of some PS1 RPGS, but mainly just because I found them cheap in a thrift or something.

I've acquired a few things lately, mostly gifts I've failed to mention, but here goes:

I ordered a repro cart of the Metroid Mother hack from OCDReproductions, and I've never had so much fun playing the original Metroid.  Highly recommended.

I got Beamer's copies of New Zealand Story and Space Harrier for our beloved obey, and I'm pretty happy with both. ^-^

And finally, for Christmas, I got Radiant Silvergun for the Saturn, as well as Crying and Second Samurai for the Mega Drive.  I'm pretty stoked about those two, but I'm admittedly a bit disappointed with Radiant Silvergun.  The graphics are drab & the game is insanely difficult, but I'm gonna give it an honest shot before I make any real judgements.

WD variants are almost an entirely different beast though - there's at least something different about each copy vs. a minor change to the box/manual.

I remember when I got Lunar for the Sega CD originally, I had to return my first copy. My second copy had a totally different piece of art on the CD; threw me for a loop. I didn't find out until years later that there were a bunch of different variants.

I agree that's on the low end of things but for a loose Mvs title they are common and that's what they are worth.  Full kits obviously much more.


Hell you can get a BRAND NEW copy of Metsl
slug 4 for $55.  There were s f*ckton of MVS carts out there, don't let the collectArds fool you.

I'll have to look into that Metroid repro. Got a link?

I'll have to agree with you on Radiant Silvergun. That game is highly overrated and if Treasure didn't make it it would be just another Saturn shooter exclusive to Japan. Though that doesn't mean that I don't like the game. I enjoy its graphics and always find something in them to appreciate. And the opening cinema is hilarious in spots.

Fortunately it's no longer an exclusive to Japan or a home exclusive on Saturn. It's been on Xbox 360 for quite some time. And a bonus it's even in English.

I've wanted a 3DS for a while, but I kept waiting for the "new'" 3DS to be released. Last week I saw that the 2DS had been reduced to $100 and I impulse bought it. A couple days later I see the new 3DS announcement, haha.

I don't regret it though, I've been having a blast with Bravely Default. Any 3DS hidden gems (all genres)?
Tried the import work around today, legal exploit to be able to start 3DS games from the wrong region, worked... pretty cool.

There is a new way to play import 3ds games?  Do tell!

Very True.  The older consoles simply last, my NES, MD, SNES, Colecovision, Atari 2600, LYNX, Gameboy, all work.  Game Gears are finicky but work with new caps.  I think the 360 had over a 25% failure rate which is the worst ever I believe.  I think the PS3 was 10% but easily over shadowed by the XBOX.

I keep reading the Sega Nomads and GameGear LCDs puke out after these years (reason is I've been looking to pick one up and get the SMS adapter so I can relive some of my SMS gaming days!)... so I guess with exception of those 2 systems' LCDs, agreeing the oldies are the best!

I got no time for games these days, but just wanted to mention I saw a sick game at Yamada denki ( think massive bestbuy during bestbuy's heydays). Its  ps4 game where youbplay young Yakuza guy during the go-go $$$ days on the 80s Japan.  Liked insanely good with storyline too..  Any one of you having played that?   What is it called ?    Tats: maybe you know?

Yup, it's a PCE Hucard.  I've never played it.  I've heard it's not very good, but it's got a bunch of interesting elements (mechs, exploration, side-scrolling action) that I'm hoping will make it an enjoyable experience despite it's supposed flaws (repetitive backgrounds, bland graphics, crap controls).

There's a thread about it not too far back in the PCE section if you're interested.

[EDIT] On another note, I just ordered one of db_Electronic's universal region convertors & am actually even more aroused than I thought I'd be.  I can't wait to finally play all four of my turbo games (Bonk's Excellent Adventure, Silent D. Buggers, Cadash, Sidearms) on the big screen...got a total Bonk boner, ya know?

Nothing wrong with your mod.  RGB tends to favor one side of the screen for some reason.  When going RGB adjusting the monitor is quite normal.

And yes jeff, FF2 and Riding Hero are worthless over here.  You can find boxes full of FF2 in some stores.

Deadite is the RGB master and seems to know everything about it  :) 
I just bought a SCART TV from europe (will pick it up in the US), so I can finally try out my RGB moded Duo-RX after all these years!!  ETA March is when I can finally do that.... lol

Also, I bought a new TV, a bigger Panasonic Tau in black, has all the cute things I needed, also has composite/S-Video in the front. Yay. Here is a shitty picture:

Also, it has really come to my attention that the picture projecting from my Duo-R is off to the left more than it should be on most every game I play. Some games it looks pretty bad. I think doujindance did something else wrong on the mod besides the s-video as it only does this when using the RGB. eff.


Nothing wrong with your mod.  RGB tends to favor one side of the screen for some reason.  When going RGB adjusting the monitor is quite normal.

And yes jeff, FF2 and Riding Hero are worthless over here.  You can find boxes full of FF2 in some stores.

Good to know, thank you very much. Would a proper component mod have her favor* both sides equally?

When I first got a 32x at a young age I thought that as well. It wasn't until much, much later that I realized the 32x had at least, oh I don't know, five good games, depending on who you ask, of course.

The Saturn's cart slot is made poorly so this is common.  Not many options,  clean everything and try again repeatedly. There's a multi region bios you can have installed too. Or buy JP Saturn with cart issues.

The difference between XMen vs SF on PS and SS is so significant, it's like comparing an 80s arcade game ported to both NES and Genesis. The Sony version is so incredibly f*cked up and terrible that you can't even play it the same way. It's a different game and a much worse one. It ain't worth a broke dick. The Saturn version has a *little* bit of slowdown and a few minor issues, but it's otherwise arcade exact. The SS version is one of the greatest arcade ports of all time, the PS one is...there are much worse arcade ports, but mostly for 2600 or NES. The thing sucks.

It allows you to boot out-of-region games without using an action replay cart, which is nice if your saturn has a botched cart slot.  There are also a few games that come with and require their own proprietary carts, and therefore won't work on another region system with action replay.

You pop in any region disc (not cd-r) and play. No switches, carts or buttons, just pop in the cd.

Region free period.

If you have a V Saturn or Hi Saturn, you can still have the same start up logo too.

One of the games Venom is referring to is a Ultraman fighter.

If you happen to have a Euro region disc like say English Keio's Flying Squadron 2, a region free BIOS is an improvement over a US/JP only region toggle switch.

Actually the multi-region bios doesn't let you play burns, you still need a modchip for that.  It just allows you to stick a retail disc in regardless of region and it will play.  If you install a modchip as well you should be able to play any game or backup regardless of region without swapping.  I've got a couple units I'm hoping to do these mods on once I get some time in the future.

So it offers absolutely nothing over the switch mod (adding Europe is just as easy to adding Japan,  just another wire and another pole on the switch) or inline CD-ROM authentication spoofer "mod chip" other than being able to choose your boot animation.

I was just wondering, since I really like the Saturn and if something like the Neo Geo UniBIOS came along I'd want it for sure. This isn't it though.

Yeah, I THINK the problem with making an all in one solution for the Saturn is that the CD verification happens on the laser assembly and not on the bios portion, and then it is passed back to the motherboard to do whatever magic with.

Got the pair for a good price, but I already have a copy of StarFox so I'm gonna list it on eBay and hopefully make my money for the pair back (or maybe a little somethin' on top). Its kinda silly, I guess StarFox has been "out of print" for a while so people are eating copies up like the Amiibo's. I bought my first copy for $5 from a store that was clearing them not even that long ago :-k

Some recent pick ups. Might update more when I get home as I often forget to do that.

First up two game CD cases from a thrift short. I like that they are official GC and PS1 cases and getting them for a total of $10 was also nice.

These will really help as I have a few GC loose games that just don't look right in most game sleeve as they are tiny CDs.

Sure the SNES verson is IMO better this was for less then $10 so easy buy for me.

agreed, but i do have a certain soft spot for that water droppy, echoey sound that they went with.

Lol, my memories are always:
Relaxing water noises, Sega logo, and then skritchy-skritchy noises from the Dreamcast as it starts to read my disc.

Exactly, why would someone want to "fix" the noise is beyond me.

Your Neo Geo library is REALLY stepping up.

I plan on refocusing on my MCS wants middle of the year. 


For the first half of 2015 I plan on finishing my NES want list.  I should be able to comp,ete it as there are only 28 left from my master NES list.  Some in the $10-$30 dollar range. Thank of course a few in the $130-150 range with the most expensive being little Samson. The only good thing is once I get these last few NES games I will be done with my NES collecting. Well minus a few Famicom only games I would like to get such as nuts n'milk for example.

One thing I like about Neo Geo MVS/AES games is he they look n a shelf lined up. Like rows of cocain. 


More so when in a shock bos or those mini cardboard boxes that one guy makes (as they take less space and look very uniformed with those sticker labels.

They have this hefty look to them and most people haven't a clue what they are looking at.

exactly I know what you mean. the mvs/aes games look like rows of dollar signs but money well put to use

Scored an really nice NEC XV MultiSync 29A+ presentation monitor today. Took it apart and cleaned it up. Crazy setup, it has rgb, svideo and composite on front and back and a row of dip switches. Huge setup menu controlling all the geometry  :dance: Sits nice next to my Sony BVM now. Think this will hold me off from hunting the NEC XM29 for now lol.

The pachinko controller is bigger than I'd expected, and now I know what the yellow flipper thingy is for: you rotate it clockwise to increase ball speed, and it's spring loaded to return to zero.

So, I watched some "how to play pachinko" videos (6-12 months ago?) and it shows folks twisting a "knob"....I thought it varied the rate of fire. So is the rate of balls shooting constant, but you adjust the speed they launch at? Or is it a "combo" adjusting both "rate of fire" and "velocity"?

I have problems. I know.

Just some advice, when you "twist the knob" use lubrication. Just saying friction is a bitch!

The knob is just for velocity - rotate it left or right to aim where the balls land at the top after shooting up the side.  You press button I to fire; I just held it down, letting it fire away as the balls fell back down while I fiddled with the velocity.

I just pre-ordered:

(https://cdn1.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/_rfxiW7Ers_fINjYgITG5SOAT88=/800x0/filters:no_upscale()/cdn0.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/3343646/viz_comic.0.jpg)

The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (Comic) off Amazon.  This is GREAT! as this is a collected edition of the comics that ran on older 90's Nintendo Power Magazine's.  I know that there was already a collected edition of this comic but on ebay it ranged between $80-120 dollars depending on conditon.  We this is a re-release (unfortatnly not hardbound sigh) and it is going for $12 as a pre-order.  So that was an easy buy for me.


I also bought "The Untold History of Japanese Game Developers: Gold" (the cover they had on it was not that creepy one from the kick starter, but a more appealing (to me) cover of various 8 bit ish charactors with the title's colors minicing the color of the Japan Natioanl Flag.  Or at lest I hope that is the verson I will get as they showed two alt covers the one described an a sort of "Scott Pilgram" looking cover that was in yellow and orange that was meh at best.  After hearing so much I felt reading the book was the least I could do since it has been universly praised for its content if nothing else.

I also bout one other gaming related book called: "The 100 Greatest Console Video Games: 1977-1987".

Some books I have been intersted in but have yet to buy include:

"Service Games: The Rise and Fall of SEGA: Enhanced Edition"

"MM25: Mega Man & Mega Man X Official Complete Works " Man I wish this was hardbound

I have a few very few gaming related books like "Ultimate History of Video Games", "101 games to paly before you die", and "The Art of Video Games: From Pac-Man to Mass Effect" but I am always looking for more good reads and intersting books...for either their content, quick refferance guiads and what not.

got it from playasia but I had to pay custom fees... which pissed me off.  The other thing I don't like is on playasia's website it is not clear at all on how to cancel an item before shipping.

Might be better to get it from a japanese seller on ebay.


Puyo Puyo tetris is multi platform but I don't know if the others are region free.

Nice find! Might be better off grabbing a neo cab or go the mvs/supergun route, although cabs seem to be the cheapest option. I know here in vegas people have neo cabs for a couple hundred bucks.

Anyone besides me ever notice that Atari's gun looks suspiciously like Sega's Light Phaser? Anyone have an explanation for this?


Yeah, they look very similar, but the ZX Spectrum one is the king of the Light Phaser clones:

A very famous famiclone in Brazil used the XE light gun mold it for its own, BTW:

2015-02-11 Pioneer CT-1270wr by xelement5x, on Flickr

A Pioneer CT-1270wr Cassette Tape Deck!

So, I've had my eye on this at the thrift for the last couple weeks.  It finally went on half price sale yesterday so I grabbed it after work for about $7.   I just love how cool it looks and this means I can finally listen to my old tapes too.

It still works and sounds great, but without an equalizer or such (the matching EQ was sold last week for $4 but I missed it) I need to use speakers with audio controls on them.  The checkout lady even gave me the random tape that was sitting in the unit as well, it's some random new age music.


Plussss.....

2015-02-11 Marvel Pogs and Namco TV Game by xelement5x, on Flickr

While perusing the thrift the other day I also came across these awesome items. 

A Marvel Heroes Official POG Association Game which was fully complete with all pogs, 2 slammers, play board and instructions.  There are actually more Marvel Pogs than the box says there should be so I dunno where the extras came from.   For those wondering, I saw POGS and I instantly thought of Arkhan.

A Namco Classics Plug and play TV game thingy.  It still has working batteries too and is going to be one of the early ways I play on introducing my daughter to games. 

5 foot ethernet cable.  It was 50c and I'll probably just gut it for the wires on some mods I plan to be doing.

EDIT:
This just landed on my desk too from the mail deliveries.

2015-02-13 President's Day Sale Pickups by xelement5x, on Flickr


I swung by the local media store the other day to see if there was anything decent.  Normally this place is devoid of deals since a reseller's wife works there and picks over almost everything that shows up that I might want, but I found a couple things that I wanted at not-too-outrageous prices.

Pokemon Channel [GCN]
Sonic Gems Collection[GCN]

Both the Gamecube games had minty cases so I was pretty excited.  Pokemon Channel seems to have all the inserts and even the original e-reader cards.  Sonic Gems looks great on the case,  but the disc is a bit scratched up and appears resurfaced.  It still works though so I won't complain too much.  I've wanted this for awhile since it's basically the only way to play Sonic The Fighters the arcade fighting game with Sonic characters. 

Flash Focus [DS]
Personal Trainer: Cooking [DS]
System Flaw [DSi]

All the DS games were cheapies.  The 2 touch generations games I basically grabbed since they were complete and I'm hoping the Club Nintendo codes are still good.  System Flaw I grabbed because I don't own any DSi specific titles.  These look pretty crazy, I thought it was a 3DS game at first but the case/layout is a bit deceptive.

I just picked up Sonic zgs as well for the same reasons few days ago off eBay I got it for $15 plus shipping. I guess it is also a way to play Sonic CD should my Sega CD ever decide to hate me.

Yeah I paid $15 each for Sonic Gems and Pokemon Channel.  Neither was a great deal but shopping locally at least I can easily return stuff if there are issues.  The DS games were like $3 each.

Not really since it is based on the PC version. Don't take me wrong, for its time it is a great port but not Sega CD quality. The greatest port ever is Taxman's version on XBLA.

The best reason imo for getting Sonic Gems is Sonic Fighters and even that one is on XBLA these days.

I had heard Sonic CD has a HD port of sorts on PSN and XBoxlive. Have yet to check it out. I had assumed it was a HD port of the PC Verson like most older games have gotten like Grim Fandango and FF7.

This is a game I have been very interested to see if it is worth it. Or would have been best to get the Genesis versions. Will have to play and find out.

I second Matti on Ranma.  Best digital manga game IMO .. Though I haven't tried out the Cobra series.  Graphics is amazing as are the full speech for a regular CD game.

As for psychic storm... I didnt love it as much..  I thought the side scrolling action pace was too slow..  Like Sinistron slow...  And I didn't like sinistron as well..

Also got this cool stick in a random CL deal. Dude came to buy something, saw my games and was like "do you want this joystick I've had in my car for months" so I just traded him for it :D
With the right adapters I can use this for my X6800 and Pc Engine!!

Ha, I was gonna shoot for that one until it went up too high, so I just bought this one for about $1.50-$2 less.

I needed a copy, since I'm raffling off my PCE version. :D

I actually liked Victory Road. Tough as balls. I mostly played the NES version. Still tough as balls. But it had a wonderful atmosphere, character design, and I never came close to beating it legitimately. I got pretty far, all things considered, but...wow, my butt was always handed to me at some point.

Hah victory road, Ikari in SPACE. The first one I'm not sure how it is regarded as a classic, but the second one really is quarter munching bullshit from start to finish. Never understood the first portion of the beggining's voice sample, if I remember correctly the last half was something like "you can't escape come get me if you can", no idea what it's being said other than that.

Today was a good Craigslist find.  This ad had went up about 15 mins before I started searching so I jumped on it.  The seller posted his number and a price which was $50.  I paid $50 for all of this stuff on the spot.  I am not too keen on Nintendo pricing but I figured 24 Nes/N64 titles and now this is my 4th Game Gear but I got a couple of games that I didn't have before.  I figured it's less than $2 a game plus a Game Gear and the system bag plus the two game boxes.

The NES games were all new to me except Ducktales which now I have two copies.  I am beginning to get a decent NES setup but I won't go nuts.

After digging through the NES box that came with the set I found a "Hommie".  Who remembers those?

The Yo Bro is a Raffle I won.  I am
currently raffling off The Legendary Ax.  The drawing is March 1st for those who want in.

Yup :)

I don't understand why the first Ikari Warriors is *still* thought of as a classic.

I respect the fact that it had *grand ambitions* (think of all the weapons, the fact that you can hop into tanks, the arcade control sticks are awesome)

BUT THE HORRID CONTROL and painfully slow execution of the game really, really hurts it.

Difficulty is not what killed it...the controls do.

The thought of a tweaked Ikari Warriors with excellent controls is very appealing to me. 

IKARI WARRIORS IN SPACE: VICTORY ROAD is exactly what you said: an unapologetic quarter-muncher. I mean DAMN.

I played it in the arcade but got hardly anywhere, because I needed to get my money's worth (that's why I have fond memories of easy games like Robocop...)

Great price. Worth it for casalvania III, battle toads, bubble Bobble, TMNT III, duck tales, and that N64 case (which I use for SNES loose games personally).

Those items on eBay go for well over $50 as a bundle.  Heck if that bundle alone was on eBay someone would ask for $140-&170 and any offer in the $50 would be ignored.


Also that Tiny Toon game is a hidden gem IMO. But a cheap game at the moment even on eBay.

So yeah. Mega deal. I am not versed in Game Gear games so yeah.




The bugs bunny game I had as a kid and thought it was okay. But I doubt as Ana adult is enjoy it at all.

Thanks unlike nearly all Mondo poster prints you can actually find this on eBay for just $15.

Most other mondo prints from what I have seen rang in the $150-$400 depending on subject and limitless of print run.

Maybe I will buy an extra and raffle it. 

At $15 it would be a fun and cheap raffle.

Can't remember if I posted this or not, but the lady bought me a copy of Tengen Tetris on the NES as a late Xmas present.  She's withholding it for some "game" she's got planned for me...hm...

Anyway, I got to play it a bit when it arrived I'm the mail, and it is a pretty fun version of the game.  The music seems a bit weak, but otherwise the gameplay & graphics are simple and splendid.

I like these games because I really like the rotary stick gimmick. Yeah they are hard but you just have to go a little slower and chip your way through the level. I think Ikari is great especially compared to the other military shooters at the time like Mercs and commando.

Its not a cheap hobby but I have cabs to run them in and you gotta have some good games if you have cabs. If I didnt i'd probably stick with mame and ports. Arcade PCBs are old and fragile and can be frustrating to own if you dont normally tinker with electronics

I really enjoy tinkering with electronics so that'll be part of the fun. I'm looking forward to doing conversions to make the more expensive titles. So much choice in designing a cab though, video hookups, the monitor itself, joystick+button choice, tate or not, supergun or not, etc etc. Alot to think about

I don't have a camera to take a better picture, just my laptop, but I spent just a few bucks on some things and was able to make this for my Virtual Boy:

(http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u305/sirsinnes/image201502230001_zps8f71d686.jpg)

It works freaking beautifully. If you've ever played a Virtual Boy for more than 20 minutes, you know that the real problem with the system isn't the red, it's that it hurts to play it. If you use the stand and put it on a desk, you have to hunch over and strain your shoulders/neck/back. If you lie down, the system itself is pretty heavy and can fall off your face, so you have to remain perfectly still. I used to recline in my chair and put the stand on my arms, but I still couldn't budge, and my arms would fall asleep. Coming out of a 30 minute session felt like waking up from surgery.

This is a great solution. All the weight of the system is held by the ropes, and the head-strap keeps the system in place. I can lean my head back on my chair, fidget all I like, and play this thing with nearly the same level of comfort as watching a normal TV.

It's a fun system in short bursts.

I'm glad yours arrived safely. I sold one last year and it arrived with one of the lenses not working. I found out it's common and there's a fix at least. I still felt bad so I gave a full refund and sent links for the fix.

It looks like one of those hanging sex chairs, but for a Virtual Boy. 

I am.... intrigued.   :shock:
Title: Re: teh "what did you buy today"-thread
Post by: SamIAm on February 22, 2015, 07:33:55 PM
Here's what I did in a little more detail. Bear in mind, this all cost about $5.


(http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u305/sirsinnes/100_1089_zpsb8dd3a61.jpg)

Above my chair is a hanging light fixture. I attached to it this doohickey, which was originally built for a headrest of a front seat of a car so that you could hang your suits or your purse or whatever.



(http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u305/sirsinnes/100_1091_zpse01d610d.jpg)

To that doohickey, I attached two loops of elastic rope. These came with s-hooks on them, as well as a length-adjustment bit. Don't worry, the light fixture's weight tolerance is in no danger of being exceeded.



(http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u305/sirsinnes/100_1094_zps4dacc625.jpg)
(http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u305/sirsinnes/100_1092_zps1a61b3fe.jpg)

Those are shoelaces. New shoelaces, of course. You can see how the goggle side is shaped is such a way that the strings won't slide off, but the other side isn't, so I had to tie them together there. This also makes a great place to put a head strap. Additionally, the s-hooks can be moved back and forth to adjust the forward tilt of the unit.



(http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u305/sirsinnes/100_1095_zpsf6040229.jpg)

Finally, the headstrap. This is the part I'd kind of like to replace, since it was not made for a head, but for tying books together. It's not elastic, and it doesn't grip quite as well as it could. Nonetheless, it's adjustable, and it has velcro, which is easy to deal with when you can't see anything because you've put the Virtual Boy up to your face.

It works freaking beautifully. If you've ever played a Virtual Boy for more than 20 minutes, you know that the real problem with the system isn't the red, it's that it hurts to play it. If you use the stand and put it on a desk, you have to hunch over and strain your shoulders/neck/back. If you lie down, the system itself is pretty heavy and can fall off your face, so you have to remain perfectly still. I used to recline in my chair and put the stand on my arms, but I still couldn't budge, and my arms would fall asleep. Coming out of a 30 minute session felt like waking up from surgery.

What works for me is reclining back on a recliner or pillows at an angle and setting the virtual boy that way. You don't have all the weight going straight down on your face and it's not likely to slide off unless you move around a lot.

That's pretty much what I did before. About half the weight was going down on my face, and the other half on my forearms through the stands.

It's better than lying down or using a desk, but trust me, this is better.

The ropes detach very easily because they use s-hooks, so it's really no big deal. :)

Here's what I did in a little more detail. Bear in mind, this all cost about $5.


(http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u305/sirsinnes/100_1089_zpsb8dd3a61.jpg)

Above my chair is a hanging light fixture. I attached to it this doohickey, which was originally built for a headrest of a front seat of a car so that you could hang your suits or your purse or whatever.



(http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u305/sirsinnes/100_1091_zpse01d610d.jpg)

To that doohickey, I attached two loops of elastic rope. These came with s-hooks on them, as well as a length-adjustment bit. Don't worry, the light fixture's weight tolerance is in no danger of being exceeded.



(http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u305/sirsinnes/100_1094_zps4dacc625.jpg)
(http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u305/sirsinnes/100_1092_zps1a61b3fe.jpg)

Those are shoelaces. New shoelaces, of course. You can see how the goggle side is shaped is such a way that the strings won't slide off, but the other side isn't, so I had to tie them together there. This also makes a great place to put a head strap. Additionally, the s-hooks can be moved back and forth to adjust the forward tilt of the unit.



(http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u305/sirsinnes/100_1095_zpsf6040229.jpg)

Finally, the headstrap. This is the part I'd kind of like to replace, since it was not made for a head, but for tying books together. It's not elastic, and it doesn't grip quite as well as it could. Nonetheless, it's adjustable, and it has velcro, which is easy to deal with when you can't see anything because you've put the Virtual Boy up to your face.



(http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u305/sirsinnes/e2d5232c-57af-4300-b34b-713b9f661645_zps49a29a4c.jpg)

THIS SHOULD BE ITS OWN DAMN THREAD, because I love the suspended VB...it is both an art installation and practical solution to VBB (VirtualBoyBlues).

I love the pictures: without having them, the grand scale of things would be lost.

I got it from "Recycledgoods", they said it was refurbished. It is in great shape, no rust or dirt or anything like it and works like a champ (do yourself a favor and virus scan your disks).
I use it with a Win98 PC. My understanding is Win7 dropped support for 5.25 drives.

(http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15/02/24/400ac0b061ba3d4fa9575745560db557.jpg)

Kryoflux makes a usb interface for these kind of drives but is read only and a bit pricy.

Yea kryoflux is only used to dump disks. and you are right about win7 not supporting writing ti 5.25"
if you have win 98 xfloppy is a good disk imager I use omniflop in win xp reads and writes most images for most formats.

htoL#NiQ and Hyperdevotion Noire Limited Editions by xelement5x, on Flickr

htoL#NiQ (Hotaru no Nikki) Limited Edition from NIS America

and

Hyperdevotion Noire Goddess Black Heart Limited Edition from Idea Factory International

Both are US Vita games.  htoL was originally digital only, and it was super affordable given that it's a new game.  Noire adds on to all the Neptunia silliness in my life since at this point I have the LEs of all the games so I feel like I NEED to keep getting them.  Doesn't hurt that Noire is a cutie though.

Yeah, htol#NiQ was direct through the NISA Store (http://store.nisamerica.com/) like Criminal Girls and such.  They sell a lot of regular edition stuff in retail outlets, but normally only sell the LE stuff directly.  I'm quite happy they are now doing LEs of the Atelier games again, Shallie in particular looks to be very cool.

If you're interested in Noire though, that is still instock at the Iffy store, but is a bit pricier at about $58:

My 27" Toshiba is acting weird (sometimes there are 7 horizontal lines standing out starting at the top of the screen) and since it's my OBEY set, that's unacceptable.

I went to a thrift shop and they had the same 27" Toshiba I was using for $22 8)

I'll keep my old set since the lines are less noticeable with other systems but it's on it's way out I fear.

At the thrift they had some funky stuff out in the game case over the last week so I grabbed some bits.

2015-02-25 Thrift Gaming Grabs by xelement5x, on Flickr

The PS2 carry bag will be for holding my extra slim unit.  It looks official and is pretty nicely made with an embroidered logo on it.

The NES controller is an odd duck.  I thought it was a knockoff at first but looking closer it is called a Recoton and has decent build quality it seems like.  At first I thought it was a SMS controller with the cord coming out of the side, but it is straight for the NES, and instead of having turbo switches, the extra red buttons are just "turbo speed" buttons for A/B.  Works fine still despite having a bit of damage near the system connector.

The joystick for the Super Nintendo is from QuickShot and is called the Conqueror Turbo from what I can tell.  It actually takes AAA batteries in the bottom, I'm guessing to store the macros you can program into it.  Really pretty weird, the big dial with the buttons on it is rotatable too.


PLUUUSSSS THERE WAS THIS!

Hitachi CX-W520 CD &amp; Cassette Boombox by xelement5x, on Flickr

I grabbed this awesome boombox last night for a good price and it looks soooo sweet.  This thing is huge with double-cassette decks, CD player, bass booster and headphones jack as well. 

I was a dummy and dropped the power cord leaving the thrift, but thankfully I called them up and they have held it for me to pick up this afternoon.  I wasn't able to test it without the power cord since I don't have like 10 D batteries lying around.

I started working at a local game shop like 4 years ago.
back then, i could pick up 5-10 games for under $20, and somehow i ended up with ~100.
looked at the total list, said "f'it"

somehow i knew it would take me this long though - I really try not to buy off ebay so much.
got most of these locally or through forum deals.

the thought of getting some of these games CIB is horrifying to my wallet.
that said, i have most of the valuable ones already.

i could get a rough estimate.

That is pretty epic man, congrats on finishing the set!

I actually have about 130 N64 games (I think, I don't have a spreadsheet) and was toying with trying to go for a full set about a year ago.  Prices on so many of the games are already a bit expensive in high double-to triple digits that I'm not sure if it's worth it.  At least the library is relatively small (compared to most systems), and it hasn't picked up full steam yet price-wise.

Just wait, it's getting there.  Everyone from my generation is going "zomg look, a game I don't have to update every time I wanna play, also Mario" and snatching up all the n64 shit.  Hell, even my 12-year-old brother claims that it's his favorite system, though he seems to be spending more time with the snes lately. 

Honestly though, the day N64 games start going up high like SNES stuff is the day I buy flash carts & get out of collecting

I paid $650 canadian shipped from ebay, tough putting up that much money but worth it i think. I got 75 hu-cards in total, all decent games with no doubles.
And the guy put some japanese candies in the box too!

2015-03-02 Forum Pickups by xelement5x, on Flickr

Genesis:
Virtua Racing & Pocahontas

Gamecube:
Burnout, Odama, Finding Nemo, & LOTR: Two Towers

Picked these up off forum from Desh. Gamecube games were cheapies, I really needed new cases for several games so I'm pretty happy to have donors now.  I've been looking for CIB copies of Virtua Racing and Pocahontas for awhile too!  Pocahontas is the one I really want to play as it is a late release game that looks pretty neat.

I also got Yo Bro for the TurboGrafx 16 which I won in a raffle, yay!  Now I have a new game to play, plus amazingly another TurboGrafx game I own with a box.  Thank you again to cjameslv for being a cool dude and raffling this complete copy.  I have scanned the poster but don't know where to host it.  Ideas are appreciated, it's about 14MB in size.

Lots of random goodies! The big thing I wasn't sure about was this Rolfee Book!  There are lots of pre-production sketches of Rolfee in the first half, in the middle there are 3 color sheets with a Rolfee and dress up clothes that can be cut out, then the back half is interviews with developers about various SCD and PC-FX games plus a few more sketches.  Such a cool and random little find!

Like they said, its a converter/upscaler of sorts. Running RGB out of the Snes Mini into it. It converts it to VGA. Here are some pics. Not the best representation of the quality though, as my camera has issues taking images off the monitor.

that's some good picture quality nonetheless!

Looks awesome.

I'm assuming one could also use it with an old PC so there is no need for a CGA/EGA monitor.

Yeah. Mini modded for RGB and Svideo.

The GBS 8200 converts RGB and component video to normal VGA output with support for 640x480 on up to 1360x768 resolutions. So basically yeah, all you need is a old VGA monitor or a modern LCD that accepts VGA input. Some stuff you use on it may need a sync stripper/cleaner added, but the Snes mini worked fine right from the get go for me.

Finally back in the game.  Dunno how my fiancée picked out Super Star Solider, but not going to complain.  Waiting on Broken's rgb amp and the obey chip to get this fully modded up.

Is that ghost busters game playable as an import or getting the UK English Verson a better pick?


No reading required.

Even if it was, don't let that stop you.

If you got the UK version (assuming you live in NTSC territory) it'll be prolly screwed up anyway

I bought as untested and took a chance.  A little fiddling and reading the manual and I was able to view the test signal there.  Seems to work great.  I have no idea how old it is though.

I had thought there was only hheUK verson.

Oddly the Famicom verson is more expensive then the UK PAL verson of the game.

Weird.


I'll probably prefer the Famicom verson as my import NES games are all only Famicom and oddly all CIB.

But man. Ebay seller asking $200 and more for a CIB copy. Dang.

It is one of those games that if I find for like $20 ish I'll buy but not more as I have the vastly superior IMO TG-16 working designs version.

No, that's not what I meant. I meant that no real discussion occurs here. Well, not the kind of discussion that I like to read about.

But, this is, in fact, one of the busiest threads...making the lack of discussion even more heartbreaking.

To be fair, though, this isn't the best thread to discuss playing the games/first impressions...it makes sense to have this thread (for its stated purpose).

Joe, it is Panorama Cotton.  Legit one, pretty rare, it also comes with a mug too in some special cases (those who mailed in coupons for redemption).  Think Space Harrier but with Cotton characters.

2015-03-06 Japan Stuff by xelement5x, on Flickr

I picked up a handful of audio CDs from Japan, nothing too amazing or outrageous but fun to listen to and cheap.  The loose CDs in the center were actually found inside Saturn units I had bought!  Free games are always a nice bonus!

Audio CDs:
Da Capo (WOODSOFT Doujin Album, Anime Remixes)
Tiny Treasures (WOODSOFT Doujin Album, Falcom Remixes)
TAKAHASHI! (WOODSOFT Doujin Album, PCE Remixes)
Minami Shoko - Feena (Falcom Album, Various Openings/Endings and other vocal tracks)

Saturn Games:
Puyo Puyo 2
Final Romance 2
Puzzle Bobble 2


Then my finds at the thrift recently...

2015-03-06 Thrift Store Finds (mainly) by xelement5x, on Flickr

Point Blank 3 Bundle Complete with Guncon [PS1]
Toughman Contest [Genesis]
Cycops (Vols 1-3, Complete)
2X Cassette Tapes @ 25 cents each

Saturn Link Cable (from Japan, not thrift)

Lots of misc bits that grabbed my eye over the last week.  The Cycops comics looks cool in a cyberpunk sort of way, I've yet to read through them though. 

The big thing I was super excited to find was that big box version of Point Blank 3 though!  I love the Guncon games and have the bundle version of Time Crisis from back in the day but find this was a super lucky score, they were just putting it in the case and I snagged it.

Joe, it is Panorama Cotton.  Legit one, pretty rare, it also comes with a mug too in some special cases (those who mailed in coupons for redemption).  Think Space Harrier but with Cotton characters.
Yeah I own the game, but the cartridge shape is different. But the one pictured is an illegal Chinese pirate cart which only criminals own. Chinese bootlegs ARE repros, after all. And this forum says repros of any kind are bad. And evil. And destroy the community. And perhaps the world!

I got really lucky on that one.  I hit this particular thrift a couple times a week so despite regular turnover some of employees know me pretty well.  I was actually already in line to check out when a guy came out with a new box of stuff to put in the case and another employee told me about it so I scooted back over to the display case.  There were also a number of PS2 games (nothing really good or that I didn't already want and own) and a Phat PS2 with network adapter/cords but I have like 3 PS2s already and do not need more in my life.



EDIT!  SOME STUFF SHOWED UP AT WORK TODAY!

Sorcery Saga and Awakened Fate Ultimatum Limited Editions by xelement5x, on Flickr


The Sorcery Saga [Vita] LE I just got in from Amazon and the back of it is crushed pretty badly.  Debating whether or not to complain to Amazon about it since it finally dropped in price again and I grabbed it relatively cheap. 

The Awakened Fate Ultimatum - Ultimate Fate Edition [PS3] is from NIS America again.  They've been releasing a glut of stuff recently which is nice but my poor wallet is like uggggh.  Supposedly they had manufacturing issues with an additional coin that was to be included with the LE, they told me to expect it in a couple more weeks.

Yamatoku Pickups by xelement5x, on Flickr


Kai Serd [PCE]
BattleCorps [Mega-CD]

Famicom:
Ninja JaJaMaru-kun
Donkey Kong
Baltron
Goonies 1
Hector '87 Branded Hudson Famicom Controller

Gameboy/Color Games:
Cooking Game?
Hunter X Hunter
Chou Majin Eiyuuden Wataru: Mazekko Monster
Doraemon Games 1 & 2
Muteki-Oh Tri-Zenon
Kirby's Dreamland 1 & 2
Random GBA Game?

So I originally won a single thing from Yamatoku, then I decided to throw out low bids for several other things I was remotely interested in that he was selling in the hopes of bundling together cheaply.  I went SAL since I knew it would all be under 2kg and it just showed up today!  This will definitely keep me busy for awhile, that's for sure. 

The Hector '87 controller was the weirdest thing, I couldn't find too much about it, but it has turbos so it must be awesome.

I generally don't just go to one thrift store but make a run of 4 or 5 once a week or so. I also look for things outside of gaming, so shelving, furniture, random other gadgets. If you just occasionally hit your local goodwill you're gonna have a bad time. But if you hit a few thrifts on a semi-regular basis you can have good luck.

My last good gaming related thrift find was a 10.00 broken Japanese PS2. The motor on it is weak, but after some tweaking from Chop5 it's fully operational

What Ope said. I'm planning on getting one too for the pricier games. It'll play FDS games too.

Can you see 3d successfully?  It's never worked for me, I have the same experience as this guy: http://atariage.com/forums/topic/236401-falsion-with-the-famicom-3d-system/

Pretty disappointing as Falsion is cool game that would really benefit from the 3d.

Wow.  I've actually never seen one in the box.  Nice job on that one.

I sold my Twin Famicom back to Super Potato in Akihabara where I bought it from originally.  It was an unfortunate choice made at a time when I had more pressing concerns on my mind.  I only had a handful of games, most of which I sold back as well.  Still have my copy of Doki Doki Panic, oddly enough.

?  The famicom 3d adapter plugs into 15 pin expansion controller port.  It works just fine on the TwinFamis.  Exact same tech just in a different case...

PC-FX is one that people should test drive extensively via emulation before jumping in.  Its slim library definitely ain't for everyone, so far too often people end up disappointed and reselling soon after buying.

That's probably what happened with this seller, so I guess it worked out nicely for me.  :mrgreen:

Heh, I think that's definitely one of the stranger Limited Editions to ever be released in the US. I passed on it back when it first came out (because, you know... I don't really need a spoon and bib), but maybe I'll pick it up now that it's cheaper.

The game itself actually looks pretty interesting.

It's actually supposedly a Madou Monogatari game in some way, but no Arle.  I had it on my list at Amazon for a long time and finally bit the bullet when it dropped in price again since it's Vita TV compatible as well.  It looks pretty fun, too so I'm hoping to dig into it relatively soon.

I did pick up that old Pioneer LD player from the thrift for $15.  It's pretty baller for something from 1989.  Double-sided playback so no disc flipping.  Also, since it's so old (but still works) it actually plays LA discs too!  I put in DoraDora last night but got this weird playback messing around with it.  But my LD of "To Die For" worked fine.

And I just got the goodies from mrhaboobi in, yay!  Thanks again sir. :)

I couldn't agree more on that assessment. Magic Engine does a superb job emulating the PCFX (at least with Welcome to Pia Carrot).

My impression is the PC-FX is heavy on visual novels. You gotta be a (hardcore) fan of said genre and know a bit of japanese to truly enjoy the system. IMO

Some visual novels can be real fun, too bad some geniuses decided americans "don't get it".

PC-FX is one that people should test drive extensively via emulation before jumping in.  Its slim library definitely ain't for everyone, so far too often people end up disappointed and reselling soon after buying.

I couldn't agree more on that assessment. Magic Engine does a superb job emulating the PCFX (at least with Welcome to Pia Carrot).

My impression is the PC-FX is heavy on visual novels. You gotta be a (hardcore) fan of said genre and know a bit of japanese to truly enjoy the system. IMO

Some visual novels can be real fun, too bad some geniuses decided americans "don't get it".

That's where this place really helped me out. I had been eyeing a PC-FX for a while and reading people's comments made me reconsider. I easily could have been an idiot with buyer's remorse. I still may pick one up down the road but my current backlog makes it a low priority.

That's probably what happened with this seller, so I guess it worked out nicely for me.  :mrgreen:

You will like that Gomola Speed is a simple concept, but with nice little refinements added (power-ups and abilities broaden your repertoire of strategies) as you progress.

But, you might also curse the fact that this game can give you blisters as you desperately spin in circles. :)

More than I wanted ugh, but the seller is about an hour away from my house and runs a used game shop.  Probably going to take a road trip down there in a couple of weeks.

It sounds crazy, but I just bought my first TG game ever.  I'd never played the Turbo as a kid, and I didn't discover it until I was in Japan so I, of course, started buying PCE games instead.  Lately, however, I've been feeling like I want to collect Turbo stuff too, mostly because I'm still sore that I missed out on it during my childhood and I want to recapture the experience.  That being said, I just bought this for about $45.

I can't make up my mind if I want to open it, though.  I think I do, but darn it, it's so hard to make myself when it looks so pristine after all this time and I can't afford stuff like this that often.

Well, I've played through the Japanese version already, but yeah... I'm gonna' do it.  I just need to set up a camera to document the opening. Hopefully by the time I'm 70 or so I'll have enough money to have a complete in shrink-wrap Turbo collection! XD

Oh, you definitely will enjoy the US dub of Cosmic Fantasy 2. It is really nice done. :)

I know folks complain about the encounter rate in old games, but you already played the Japanese version so you know what you are getting in to.

Yeah, I'm actually pretty stoked to try it out.  I know a lot of people aren't fond of the way Working Designs sometimes took liberties with their translations, but I always felt like they really did a good job for the resources they had and for the time period.

I did open it up, by the way, but I have to ask:  Is the CD label supposed to look like it was printed at 20dpi and have the characters from Cosmic Fantasy 1 on it?  I'm half-worried I bought a reproduction or something...

EDIT:  An hour in and already people are talking about hemheroids, setting up local chapters of AA, and referencing Gilligan's Island...  Yep, it's a Working Designs translation alright! :D

Also, it's pretty cool that you can use the same save file between both the English and Japanese versions of the game.  Neat!

Yes it is one solid pice of metal. Heavy to. The back has these cool tounge and groove bit to slot into a display cabnite with screws to hold it in place. Just don't have any idea what type of display it would have originally gone to.

There is.. its called Dynamite Deka and can be had for a fraction of the price (under $20 shipped if memory serves correctly)

It is a super fun game, can't wait to play through it again! :D

Yeah, I bought the US version from Best Buy (for $29.99 I think) when it came out... To me, I couldn't believe what I was seeing, as in how did Capcom go from the previous Resident Evils to this inferior looking garbage, it felt like it was a prototype RE version, an early model by much crappier programmers before the good ones stepped in and produced what you normally expected from a RE game...

What did I buy today? Erm way too much! Well my pc-fx arrived looking as yellow as a cowardly banana dipped in mustard so some h2o2 was purchased to rectify that. I got a wee bonus from work so went on a yahoo jp spree. 2x super famicom, one came boxed and with 6 games, sci & atomic robo kid for pc engine, some pico fuses and a new power socket for one of the previously mentioned sfc. kirby adventure for famicom along with Tetris, and a few others and a beautiful, red Sharp twin famicom.  :D (which will probably need a new belt).

I grew up with one of these controllers and own one now a days as well.  I see them time to time out in the wild but I don't see a lot of people talk about them.  Were these more easily found in Canada?

I finished Exile literally hours ago and I'm still hyped up about it.  It was an absolutely fantastic experience.  I love nerding out about all the historical parallels there are in that game.

Playing this has made me consider venturing out of my comfort zone & trying out some of Working Designs' other games.  I was thinking I may give Cosmic Fantasy 2 a shot, but I do not like that combat system at all. 

BTW, if you decide you don't need that box for Exile, I'll take it off yer hands. ;)

Yeah it may have a Squaresoft logo (predominantly a HAL Laboratory game) on it, but it's not an RPG,  rather a stage based overhead action game

Fallout: New Vegas Collector's Edition PS3 Stuff by xelement5x, on Flickr

I was cruising my local thrift the other day and I came across this and was quite interested!  It looks like whoever had donated stuff decided to keep their games, but donated all the Limited Edition baubles to the store.  The other games LE stuff looked like it was from a Halo and Assassin Creed game so I wasn't really interested. 

Anyway, I had picked up a copy of New Vegas cheap on clearance from GameStop so I decided this would be kind of neat to add to the collection for $6.  Apparently the Collector's Edition still has some decent value to it as well!

It came with:
Hardbox to hold everything
Slipcase to cover the box
Soundtrack
Playing cards
7 Poker chips
Big "Lucky 38" chip
Hardbound graphic novel

I hope the layout for A3 is similar to DOS version or I'll be stuck. Plan to make good use of nightwolve's work for Ys 4.

Imagine you've got headphones plugged into your 3DO controller. And you're playing your friend in Street Fighter II. But the controllers are daisy chained to one another, because it's the 3DO. Your friend gets aggravated and jerks the controller causing your massive melon to be moved mercilessly because you have something on your head, connected to a controller that's connected to not just the system but another controller. What a terrible idea.

Sweet, Outrun 2 is a must-own for the Xbox! If you don't already have it, you should also try to pick up Outrun 2006: Coast to Coast... it's a little harder to find, but totally worth the effort.

I'll take Outrun over Gran Turismo or Forza any day of the week! 8)

I know. I am so tempted. But it seems like an extravagance when I have so many NES/Famicom controllers already.

Thanks for the heads up, never played 2006 version and have not seen it when I hit places. Are the PS2 and XBOX versions equivalent or is one superior?

Have you ever played the Forza Horizon series? You may like that more than the sim style of Forza/Gran Turismo

The Xbox version is slightly better, but the PS2 release can be picked up a lot cheaper for some reason. I'd say just grab whichever one you can find for a reasonable price, they're both terrific!

I did really enjoy Forza Horizon... haven't played part 2 yet, as I'm waiting to pick up the Xbox One version whenever I actually get an Xbox One. At least FH2 should be dirt cheap by then, lol.

Still, there's just something about Outrun that I find massively appealing... they should have called it Super Happy Sunshine Beach Day Sexy Drive. :dance:

Lots of import games too, only picked up the 1 MD game cause I don't really know what's good out there. Coolest thing to me is the Saturn race wheel, it's not complete but $20 with a box I thought that was great. I'm killin Touge King right now.

I used to have that same Bruiticus!   I collected him piece by piece when the RID transformers were still in stores. :3 My stepdad would tease me about them, citing how they're made much more cheaply than the ones he had as a kid.  "You can practically see through the plastic!" I can still remember him saying...

It's not built any cheaper. I have had them both before at the same time. The plastic quality is the same. It's built to last. I prefer this ones color scheme more though then the original, as far as aesthetics go it has a more military look paint job wise. There was a couple of others released also with different paint schemes.

Right, I had the one you have there as well as a "Universe" one done up in a desert camo scheme. 

I think his comment may actually have been directed at some of the Spychangers I also had.  Those are markedly cheap, but they also hailed from G2...the irony...

Why is it worth it? What do they do that makes them worth the price of actual games? For that matter, will you be opening and using them, or just staring at them in their package like a collectard caught up in another whirlwind fad before it all eventually crashes? What factors are at play to decide the measure of worth of these things, outside of just scalper demands? I only ask this because I have seen people go crazy town over Skylanders, paying scalper prices for that shit too, then not being able to sell it for pennies on the dollar afterwards when they come to their senses, too little too late.

You can now get these "World of Nintendo" figures in-stores that are actual action figures.  So far you can get Link, Samus, a Metroid, and a plethora of Mario things.  They retail at about $10 I think.

My point, these are actual figures you can do something with.  Amiibos? I have no use for super smash skylanders.

i see where you're coming from but i didnt really pay scalper prices for these. so that's why i bought it in the first place. i did sell a toad to a buddy for 10 bucks but that's it. if you feel bad for me about collecting these, that's fine but i think they are cool little collectibles and the money is coming out of my wallet, not yours. is it wrong to collect something i like? despite how worthless they may look to some people?

and yes i plan on keeping em sealed and i guess i was caught in the craze but i'm enjoying it so far :)

well i only paid around 16.60 each figure, which isnt bad compared to 40-50 dollars that people in my area are asking for golden mario alone. although, it is a bit over retail, i'm happy with the purchase

I had picked this up on a whim on a Yahoo Auction since I like getting random audio CDs from Japan and I'd never seen this one before. 

Featured game music is Shinobi, Vermillion, Phantasy Star II, Super Monaco GP, After Burner II, Golden Axe, Assault Suit Leynos, Coumns, and Tatsujin with 26 total tracks. Pretty solid listening, sounds like they were recorded directly from some decent hardware.

The articulation leaves much to be desired, but I'm spoiled by Figmas & Revoltechs, and this is much more affordable & toy-like.  The plastic's even got that rubbery feel the old Star Wars figures had.  I just wish if they were gonna use the Prime model, they would have used Prime colors instead of the Super Metroid deco.

Now if only I can find the 6" Metroid, now...

Well, ever since my fiance and I have dug out my Duo we have mostly been using my HTPC and an emulator until I recap my Duo. But it has reignited the fire in me for my Duo and it's games.

I figured I would try and grab some more games for when my Duo is back up to snuff. I am or was but still think I am a huge old school RPG'er. So Exile was on the top of my list and I was fortunate enough to see that a member on this forum had it for sale. Also, I have never played R-Type.... I know I know wtf right. So I also grabbed this game.

In the end I nabbed Dragon Spirit, Vigilante, Sidearms, Ordyne, It Came from the Desert, plus the two games mentioned above. I also grabbed Military Madness, Champion boxing, tv sports hockey and Shockman.

I may have went a little overboard.... But if my fiance enjoys the games and wants to keep playing them like I do then the Duo is an amazing device by actually helping my relationship. :D

Well, ever since my fiance and I have dug out my Duo we have mostly been using my HTPC and an emulator until I recap my Duo. But it has reignited the fire in me for my Duo and it's games.

I figured I would try and grab some more games for when my Duo is back up to snuff. I am or was but still think I am a huge old school RPG'er. So Exile was on the top of my list and I was fortunate enough to see that a member on this forum had it for sale. Also, I have never played R-Type.... I know I know wtf right. So I also grabbed this game.

In the end I nabbed Dragon Spirit, Vigilante, Sidearms, Ordyne, It Came from the Desert, plus the two games mentioned above. I also grabbed Military Madness, Champion boxing, tv sports hockey and Shockman.

I may have went a little overboard.... But if my fiance enjoys the games and wants to keep playing them like I do then the Duo is an amazing device by actually helping my relationship. :D

Exile is one of my recently-discovered favorites. :) The only thing I don't care for is the grinding, but that has more to do with my lack of skill & patience.  Have you played the game before?

Twin Fami. Arrived today from Fukuoka. Needs a good clean but other than that it's in pretty good shape.
 Will have to check the drive belt later to see how much has melted away  :D

Well, I have Exile: Wicked Phenomenon, original owner since it was released. So I hope the first Exile is similar.
I always meant to buy Exile but at the time I was still in high school and any games I got my dad bought. Usually any games I wanted that my dad didn't want to buy I would try and save everything I could to buy them. So at the time I remember buying the second Exile, Dragon Slayer, Dungeon Explorer 2 and Dungeon Master.

I used to swap between the sega cd and Duo as I really enjoyed both cd consoles although the difference is I beat nearly all of my TurboGrafx games. I only ever beat Silpheed, Sol Feace, Lunar: Silver star, Vay, streets of rage on the sega cd. There were prolly others but those are the only ones I remember.

Wow, so you started with the "bad" one...lol

If you liked that, though, I'm sure you'll really like the first one.  The story is more cohesive & the difficulty is (somewhat regrettably) on the opposite end of the scale, provided you grind your ass off.

It seems like you lucked out & got a lot of the more expensive games when they were new & not scalper-gouged all to hell. :)

Yeah, I do consider myself partially lucky that I did get most of the RPG's although there are still two out there I want... Dragon's Curse and Monster Lair. They both are still under $100 so I really need to decide soon if I really want them before they go above that magic line for me.

It's weird how the US box art is a censored version of the arcade flyer, but personally I like the Mega Drive art better.

I had picked up a loose NA copy a few months back from a retro shop for. I want to say $14 bucks. I would like a CIB copy and probably should just stop buying loose Genesis games.

But CIB Genesis and SMS games are just getting harder to find and starting to go for a bit more of a premium. Sigh.

Sad face! :( I think that's how much I payed for my cibbler MD copy!  It was from japangamestock.com.  I went & checked and they've got one for 2000 yens with "jacket fade".

You're right though.  This hobby is getting shitty -.-

2015-04-13 Popful Mail Pencilboard &amp; Flyer by xelement5x, on Flickr

My slowboat arrived today and I was happy to finally get my mitts on these Popful Mail goodies I had purchased.  On the left is a flyer that looks like a Sega Newsletter that had been put out with a bunch of Popful Mail info, even talking about the planned OVA a bit from what I can make out.

Then there is the pencilboard which is a cool collage of a lot of the main Popful characters on one side.  The flip side of it is the same image as the I've got on another clearfile.  Mail and Tatto walking down a road. 

Finally, I just threw in the picture a promo Ghost in the Shell Fan that I also got.  It looks like it was given away to promote the PSX game and has Fuchikoma on it.  Kind of goofy but still neat.

It has a very garbled sped up terrible sounding version of "Dreams Dreams" from the Saturn game's soundtrack at the start too.

I simultaneously want to praise their lofty ambitions and condemn the sheer insanity of attempting to do that with a piezo speaker (or whatever was in those Tiger handhelds).

Belated post of my goodies from MGC 2015. Wasn't looking for anything in particular this year (with the exception of 50 Cent: blood on the sand...yes I'm being serious - the game is both ridiculous and crazy fun) but still found some solid stuff for fairly cheap - nothing over $20.

Vendor floor was a freaking zoo all weekend. The show set up a freaking 50,000 sqft. tent this year just for vendors and board games and I still can't walk a foot without standing next to someone who decided not to shower that morning, haha.

Awesome haul there munchi!  I love picking up random cheap figures when I buy stuff online too, sometimes the quality is meh, but other times they look great! 

I just got back from a wedding in Champaign-Urbana and besides a parking ticket (yay) I also got Death Crimson OX for the Dreamcast because the price was cheap and I needed it.  Found a very cool retro game store down there called Live Action Games where the people were super friendly, knowledgeable, and best of all everything already had a price on it so there was none of this "let me check the price" bullshit so many stores do.  They even had a huge pile of random fami/super famicom games for sale.  Would highly recommend to anyone in the area. 

Oh, and a batch of replacement Sega Saturn lasers just showed up at my work.  Hopefully there are no duds.

They're way more reliable than say Playstation lasers.

But I've had a few go bad, or at least get weaker over the years. They're way more reliable than the Saturn cartridge slots though.

I have a handful of units with bad lasers that need to be addressed.  I was able to get a decent bulk price on them so that's fine.  A couple are 20pin units that would be cool to use for a RHEA or something, but I'd rather just fix them if it's not too complex.

Bought Bloodborne, Axiom Verge and Shovel Knight for PS4. I have been on a Demon's/Dark Souls kick and figured I should get Bloodborne. These games are amazing. Axiom Verge is a must if you like Metroid games. Shovel Knight feels like a legit AAA NES title with the colors of a TG-16 and parallaxing of a Genesis. The music is beyond phenomenal. This is the best indie game I have ever played and I thought Axiom Verge was the best until I played this, lol.

Traded in some stuff at the game store yesterday for an unprecedented $100.  I went a little crazy & got:

PS2:
Memory card & Dual Shock 2 controller
Gradius III & IV
Gungriffon Blaze
Taito Legends 2

Dreamcast:
Boxed controller
Unreal Tournament

NES:
Blaster Master loose

And I've still got $30 left!  Thinking of running back today & picking up a couple things.  I'm considering Kirby for the N64 but they also had a couple Onimusha games on PS2 for cheap.

So a little google-fu Led me to this how-to (http://www.tototek.com/pio/main1/SUBMENU/PARTS/LINKS/OS/pceclassicconverter.htm). Very cool! So my next questions are

1) Can I use this on my TG16? If not directly, can I get a PCE -> TG16 converter cable and get this working?

2) Where do I buy the Tototek converter? eBay? I see they offer it on Their website. (http://www.tototek.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=23&products_id=51) I assume it's reputable?

I picked up the book "Hardcore Gaming 101 Presents: Castlevania" as it was going cheap on UK Amazon (£11 shipped).
Seems quite good so far only read up on a couple games. Not learnt anything new but still quite a fun read.
http://www.hardcoregaming101.net/cvbook/cvbook.htm

I was also looking at "Hardcore Gaming 101 Presents: The Unofficial Guide to Konami Shooters" as was also going cheap on UK Amazon and it's a subject matter I love, but apparently the articles in the book are all available on the Hardcore Gaming 101 website so I gave that one a miss.

The Castlevania reviews originated from this site http://www.castlevaniadungeon.net/games.html
but apparently for the book they have been completely rewritten and had extra content added.

I'm having second thoughts on "Hardcore Gaming 101 Presents: The Unofficial Guide to Konami Shooters" as I just looked into it more and it appears half the book is original content. The price on UK Amazon has gone back up again though, if it comes down again I'll probably grab it.

I got Magical Chase at MGC. The 3 games with price tags were in a 3 for $10 bin at a local used stuff store.  And I finally picked up Astro Boy based on Dragonmaster's recommendation.  Thanks!  It seems pretty cool so far. A lifetime ago I used to work for Sony and Rise of the Kasai was the last game I worked on, but left while it was still in development and I've always wanted to see how it turned out. It was dirt cheap so I figured it was finally that time.

Oh yeah, and this:

A while back I played it for a couple of hours and I thought it was good but lacked the polish of other SquareSoft games (it was developed by HAL Labs). From what I played there wasn't much RPG, more just arcade action without much depth, but this could of changed later in the game as said I didn't play for too long.

Nah, just a lowly QA (game tester). By the time I left I was working pretty closely with developers and leading my own test groups, but the down-time between projects made it too hard to sustain.  I needed to find something more consistent to make ends meet in San Diego.  I gave it a pretty good run though.  I worked for Sony, Vivendi and Red Storm before deciding to find a different career. :)

Today I was at a nearby thrift store and picked up another tube TV ($10.50!).  I wish I had it for MGC.  It's a 20" Sony WEGA.  I got home tonight and played through Spriggan on it. :)

  Few obeys and non obeys over the weekend.

That Mega Man cartoon is probably what kept me going at my darkest times in this life. May it do the same for you.

Yes, this cartoon was one of my all time favorites and it did the same for me.  This, mighty max, and Saturday morning cartoons really made a difference.

I picked up langrisser and xanadu.
The xanadu has a second disc in the case marked sample. I presume it was for shops or journalists

Denon PMA520AE so I can listen and play the pc engine chip tunes while hooked up to a sound system :P

I finally picked up a CRT TV to enjoy all my old consoles on. I've been playing on this monitor with a TN panel I have which has television and computer hookups. Extremely convenient but I really didn't like how the picture quality was. TN panels aren't ideal for TG16 or SNES. Scored a 19" Samsung CRT in good condition for $1 at the thrift store. I was having issues finding that size; I have to have something smaller since I don't have a very big apartment.

Sega Mega Drive Notebook by xelement5x, on Flickr

This is a little Sega Mega Drive Notebook that I picked up with a bundle of stuff from Japan.  The copy of Langrisser is in there just to give a feeling of the size. 

It's softbound style and all the pages have that MD outline on them like you can see in the lower part of the image.  It's a neat little thing, only cost me a couple bucks when I found it.

I was so happy to find the TV! Especially since like DragonmasterDan said, a lot of thrift stores are now no longer accepting TVs for some reason. I think that store was selling CRT TVs from $0.29 to $3.99. And the smallest size was 17". :D

I'm sure the reason is this, at .49-1.99 they're not making much money by selling them. They're heavy, and if they get one and it's DOA or returned as broken the cost of disposing of it is way higher than the profit made on selling them.

The 9.99 Pioneer Blu-Ray player with remote I picked up at one a few months back tells me you can still find excellent deals on electronics there.  With that said, Goodwill's pricing seems to vary from store to store and even more widly from region to region.

I was in one store recently and the girl checking out got pissed at the people in the back for overpricing some items to put in the glass case. It was just some pairs of Sony headphones but she was complaining at how the pricers at her store keep putting too high of a price on certain things. She took them to the back to be re-priced at a lower value.

I do not go to Salvation Army/Goodwill near me and instead go to local thrifts.  Some are hit and miss but there are a couple that are consistently realistic in their pricing.  They realize that if something doesn't sell after 4 weeks they are just going to toss it anyway and would rather make some money than gouge.  That's also the reason why I donate my own items to them regularly.

The Goodwills by us are ridiculous...anything that's remotely of value gets put in the glass case with an inflated price tag. The 10,000 copies of Madden 200X, Guitar Hero and Barbie Horse Adventure get put on the bookshelf with the DVDs. Last year I saw a $25 copy of Mario/Duck Hunt loose.

CRTs were about the only things that kept me going back to Goodwill, and unfortunately that's gone as well.

I've actually had much better luck with Church-affiliated thrifts like St. Vincent and small local ones. My best (and just about only) haul ever was a demo kiosk Yoshi's Island cart, Crystalis for the NES, and 4 NES Color Dreams carts, all for like $5.

Sounds about like here.. $35 SMB 3, Madden's by the dozen on the dvd/media shelf..

St Vincent De Paul's here have literally no gaming stuff that I ever come across :(

Hmm so I scored at a local thrift store but I've had luck at St Vincent de Paul too. Scored GTA Vice City for $2 and a Sony Walkman cassette player for $8 NOS. But it's weird because the same store I bought the TV at was trying to sell a Sony PS1 controller for $22. I think it's really dependent on which individual person is pricing as was mentioned before. So I always check Goodwill, Salvation Army, SVDP, and any other thrift store because you never know when you'll catch em slipping.

So I always check Goodwill, Salvation Army, SVDP, and any other thrift store because you never know when you'll catch em slipping.


I'm pretty sure that nothing good gets past the people in the back who sort through the donations. I'd be curious to know how much pocketing of valuables goes on back there.

If by pocketing you mean stealing, I have no idea :) but with regard to employees purchasing (at least at goodwill) any employee buying from the store they work at has to be rung up by a manager.

I recently just bought OutRun 3D from the eShop. I'm having a lot of fun with that, wish that cartridge came out in NA because I'd like to try Fantasy Zone 3D too. Oh well.



Finally got a PVM today! Picked it up on Craigslist. So far I can only use the S-video and composite, but even that looks fantastic. Can't wait until I can get my hands on a SCART to BNC cable to enjoy the RGB on my Duo R.

Traded in some poop & finally got a copy of Brain Lord, an opportunity to relive a childhood memory (Sonic Adventure 2 Battle) as well as that of a friend's (Wind Waker).

The Super Metroid is my old copy which my friend just dug up from his closet, after several years.  Thought I'd show 'er off, even if she's nothin' special.

Awesome, I love Brain Lord! It never seems to get much attention, but I think it's a great mix of puzzles and action RPG goodness... a little on the short side, though.

Wind Waker is great too, but I can't go back to the GC original after playing through the recent (excellent) Wii U remaster. 8)

2015-05-15 Class of Heroes 2G and Retro City Rampage by xelement5x, on Flickr

After learning that a vendor was selling copies of Class of Heroes 2G and all of them were the A variant I was missing, I had to pick up a copy from them.  The number on the sticker is 2551, so very close to the end of the run I think.  I'm guessing they got the tail end of all the stock.  The cost was more than the original pre-order price, but I finally have an A disc variant, so that makes all three!  Woohoo!  I am not going to worry about the stickers variants right now :|

I also got a copy of Retro City Rampage for the Vita.  This was a limited release with only 3300 copies made and it's already completely sold out through Fangamer.  Here's hoping they are able to get other indie devs on board for making physical copies of previously digital only releases.

I like the art on the Vita cover more and it seems like a good game for a portable. The PS4 version was more limited but I managed to grab a 20th anniversary PS4 and its staying sealed in the box until some decent RPGs are released.

When Vic released the game there were three different disc variants made, and in the manual there are 1 of three different sticker sets included (I have yet to update my Flickr image with the last variant).  I am a regular on the Gaijinworks forums so I put together the image below when we were figuring out all the variants that existed.  Supposedly there is a bonus Vic has hidden in some copies as well but that has yet to be revealed.

It's nice for a Lynx game, but I was expecting a slightly slower, scaled down Air Zonk and it didn't play nearly as well as I had hoped.

I was shocked to see how much a snes sparkster go's for now,so i bought the sfc one instead.

Amazon was considerably cheaper than ebay for it.
I forgot to check amazon,though some times there prices are no better.Since all i have is a SFC it's simpler for me to buy that version instead.

One of my favorite handhelds back in the day.  And it seems that the games for it are very reasonably priced.  Try hunting down Warbirds and Gates of Zendicon!  I spent a lot of time playing those back in the day!

Gates of zendicon, nice i could not remember the name of that one. i had friends with lynx's when i was younger and that's one of the games i used to play the shit out of.

The box for it is considerably bigger than the box for my other Lynx games. I'm not sure how many games came in those huge boxes.

Some stuff I've bought over the last month or so. Syphic hooked me up with the Dragon Slayer (no map, so if anyone has a PCE/Turbo map they want to get rid of, pm me :wink:). Then Null finally shipped this TGCD that I bought from him awhile ago. The shipping may have been slow, but well worth it. He even threw in the Bonk's Adventure box for me.

I now have the Turbo Trio (TGCD, Duo, TE). Maybe the LaserActive will be in my future someday. But so far I've been keeping plenty busy since my summer has started with the stuff I bought.

I like the Sega CD library considering how small it is.

Lunar 1, Lunar 2, Popful Mail, Snatcher, AH3 Thunderstrike, Sonic CD, Android Assault, Keio's Flying Squadron are all great. Then there's a lot of not quite great but good games like Dark Wizard, Flink, Prize Fighter (the best live action FMV game I can think of), Batman Returns (well at least the driving levels) among many others.

sol feace and silpheed are good too.
batman returns was one of the discs it came with
Final Fight is the best home port made.

Post by: VenomMacbeth on May 21, 2015, 06:59:22 AM
Haha my comment was mostly in jest.  I agree with you, but unfortunately a lot of the good games (Snatcher, anything Working Designs) are way out of my price range.

There are quite a few more affordable games I want that I've yet to acquire though, such as Android Assault (mostly because I can't decide between the U.S. & JP versions), Final Fight, Devastator, Rebel Assault...probably some others I'm forgetting. 

For now, I have 9 games, and the only ones I ever play are the Core ones (Thunderstrike, Battlecorps, Soul Star) and Sonic CD.  My 32x gets more love, oddly enough...

Sol Feace is also on the Genesis, lacks the awesome redbook soundtrack though. As a game I think it's okay, but the music is just stellar.

I totally forgot about Silpheed, definitely a good game. I actually really like The Amazing Spider-Man vs Kingpin but I'm sure it's not everyone's cup of tea.

Unless you have JP hardware or a Mega Everdrive to switch CD regions, stick with the US version as Mega-CDs are region locked.

Sega CD love is a good thing.  I'm a huge fan of the system and it's library, it actually had a lot of western development done for it which makes a unique library of games.  Popful Mail is obviously a great ARPG and my favorite game on the system, but Terminator is solid and for all its campiness so is Ground Zero Texas.

Oh, and the Genesis version is Sol DEACE, the Sega CD version is Sol FEACE.  I dunno why.

Candy cabs look nice, but take up too much space and are kind of a pain to connect other things too besides arcade games.  The monitor is mounted in a big wooden box.  So very easy and totally safe to rotate, plus I can easily use this for consoles, computers, and arcade games.

The connection box was sold separately, but you get a discount if you order both as a bundle.  It has RCA jacks for audio output on the side.

I'm guessing it's this:

http://page4.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/d165889512

Hey SuperDeadite, I would love to see some shots of screens from the 240p test suite on that thing. The checkerboard pattern is maybe the most stressful, and the color bleed check is really good to see as well. The backlit zone test is maybe the best to use to check the corners for convergence accuracy as well.

I believe that the Sony KV-29DX650, which was only ever released in Japan in 2003, is the best consumer level gaming CRT ever released. It doesn't do 24khz or VGA, but it's got an RGB input, and it does really well at those tests. It does not do perfectly, however, and I would love to see how that thing stacks up. If it aces those tests, I just might try and get one.

Yes it's one of those, but if you go through his website and not yahoo, it's a bit cheaper, and he also will give you a another discount if you buy the TwinSync as well.  The yahoo auctions are more like advertisements then anything else.

As for the best CRT, that's a difficult question.  Some people really love the super thick scanlines on Nanao's and Sonys.  This actually doesn't have those, in 15khz mode it looks a lot more like a classic dual-sync arcade monitor.

As for myself, I adore the X68000 and FM Towns computers, these need to have a tri-sync monitor for 100% compatibility.  Some X68000 games actually use 31khz for menus and 15khz during the gameplay, switching back and forth.  So it's tri-sync, or XPC-4.

I also love my SuperCassetteVision which will not work on a Sony TV without a buffer which nobody makes anymore.  (Read Tokyo RGB Hospice for more info).  And I have arcade boards like Xexex, which don't work on Sonys either (picture just rolls and rolls)

For my interests, this monitor with the TwinSync is simply ideal.   In the end it really comes down to what you actually want to play.  I'm happy to try this test thing though if you could supply some links.

If you have a flashcard for any number of systems, or even if you just own a Mega CD, you can run one of these:

http://junkerhq.net/xrgb/index.php/240p_test_suite
(scroll down for links to downloads)

Like I mentioned, the "checkerboard" pattern is probably the meanest one. If your set can do that perfectly, that would be amazing. The "color bleed check" pattern, and the "backlit zone test" moved via d-pad from the center to the corners, are also essential. Of course, any other patterns you want to check would be interesting as well.

The Sony KV-29DX650 actually doesn't have scanlines at all - it's an HDCRT. Yet while other HDCRT sets seem to convert 240p directly to 1080i (which is still much better than LCDs that do some crazy multi-stage conversion and throw away half the video content), this actually does true 240p. If you're curious, I'll take some shots.

If you have a flashcard for any number of systems, or even if you just own a Mega CD, you can run one of these:

Sadly the only flash cart I own is for the MSX lol.  I have an RGB modded LaserActive for both SCD and PCE use.  Sorry but I will refuse to run CDRs in my LA.  So I have no way of doing this really.

Can any of your old PCs display .bmp files?

Here are four 256 color .bmp files of the same test screens, which are each sub-100KB. If you want them in a different format, I'll make them.

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/32377930/tests.zip

(The "converge" one I made myself.)

I took just a couple shots of my TV so you can see what to look for. I used an RGB modded Supergrafx and the 240p test suite.

The backlit zone test - both shots are of a single small white square against an all black background. The first one has the square in the center of the screen, while the second one has it in the top right corner. The exaggerated red and blue around the edges you see in the corner shot are a problem of convergence. Basically, the three light guns in the CRT can aim at a center pixel more uniformly than they can at a corner pixel. If I put the white square in the top left corner, the problem roughly reverses. This has nothing to do with signal quality.

Center:
(http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u305/sirsinnes/center_zpsacg9oo4f.jpg)
(This looks much nicer when you're not zoomed in so closely)

Top right corner:
(http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u305/sirsinnes/topright_zps4t2g09ft.jpg)
(This only happens in the very corner of the screen. If I move it an inch toward the center, the effect nearly disappears)

Next, here's the checkerboard pattern. The first pic is of the center, while the second is of the center-right side.

Center:
(http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u305/sirsinnes/center2_zpsbmmgzab7.jpg)

Center-right, from slightly further away and at a slight angle:
(http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u305/sirsinnes/far right_zpsvzrud9rb.jpg)

Again, this is mostly a matter of the light guns being able to aim at the center of the screen more accurately than the sides.

I'd actually like to take a shot of a second TV I have, because it freaks out with this pattern even in component video (it doesn't have an RGB input). It actually tints the whole thing red, and although you can make out the black and white dots, it's not very uniform across the screen.

If you try and display this with a composite signal, or even an s-video signal under less than ideal circumstances, it's a mess. If your TV itself is not so good, it's a mess. I actually have a much cheaper Sony from around the same period that also has an RGB input, and it's still pretty bad. Truly, the checkerboard pattern is the toughest one for a setup to pass.

I can take shots of the color bleed test later, but it does pretty well with those. Only the blue is a little less sharp than the others.

So there was a bundle of Genesis games that had been languishing on CL for a couple months at this point at a crazy price so I decided to send them an email and try to negotiate.  Lo and behold they were happy to wheel and deal and I got all these at a really solid price, not thrift store pricing, but still quite below retail for the entire lot combined.

Yeah, Hellfire was fun for a bit, but Steel Empire was the one I played the most so far.  A bit less punishing, and a fun steampunky feeling to it. I guess it originally started development as an adaptation of the anime movie Laputa: Castle in the Sky, but lost the licenses so they just made it into what it is now.

Yeah given with what I had before grabbing these from people here or on the bay, I have a decent amount to play now on the system, around 55-58 games or so. The most I paid for any given game was maybe Strider, which I think was $65 shipped. R-Type was second up at around $61, but it was CIB and in fairly nice condition so that price is expected. The rest of the games were all under $30 each including Hana Taka Daka! and W-Ring.

Prof prof, I thought you said at one point that you were getting out of PCE/TG16 gaming following Sini's unfortunate passing.  Good to see you're getting back/staying in!  The games are just too damn good.

Someone should bribe Samiam into resuming GotW or carry on in his stead.  Every few days it seems I learn of a new PCE gem i'd never heard of and want to try out, and GotW is a great way to motivate everyone to explore and enjoy the library together.  I would do it, but i'm lazy and unreliable. 

Yeah thats pretty much how I felt at the time. HercTnT/Tim got me back into it all again, so many thanks go to him on that. :)

And then Target Price Matches and then they have a 35% coupon so it cuts it down to $17.

Good to see you around.

I see you have Slime World...I like the soundtrack (I should be ashamed, but I'm not). That's the only positive. No, I lied. I like the cover art...it's so different than the Lynx cover...

YS IV is a good game, but I was surprised to se STRATEGO. I honestly didn't even know that there was a PCE version! How have I never seen that before? Very odd.

I've been around, of course--mostly lurking in the chatroom. Stratego is a nice little game, and quite cheap, so grab it when you see it. It's more fun than Slime World ;)

Got myself a Scanline generator HD to use with my wii. Works pretty good, definitely worth the money imo.

As an avid fan of scanlines, nothing beats real ones. This is definitely a push int he right direction though!

I agree, and its far from perfect. But i like the high definition and the convenience of emulators on the wii.

Went to the thrift today since it is 50% on Saturday and was hoping something I has spotted earlier in the week was still there...

Pioneer CLD D504 - Laserdisc Player by xelement5x, on Flickr

A Pioneer CLD-D504 LaserDisc player.  This is a pretty nice unit, it has double side playback and still works quite well. It also has s-video out and AC3 as well, plus Karaoke functionality built right into the unit; manufacture date says 1995.  The only knock is that the Pioneer badging is missing from the upper left of the front of the unit, but I really don't mind. 

This guy will not be with me long as I plan on bundling him with a bunch of LaserDiscs I already have/do not want and will try to peddle it off on Craigslist.  Another forumite had mentioned a good way to clear out discs is to buy a cheap player, bundle a lot of discs with it at a low price, set it on CL and watch it disappear from your life.  I hope the $10 'investment' in this guy will maybe make it easier to get some of the many (hundreds?)of LDs in my basement out of my life at a small profit.


Oh, and I also got a Gunsmith Cats manga for $1.  Woot!  I like Kenichi Sonoda's work. :)

After playing with it I was tempted to keep it but I need another LD player like I need another hole in the head.  I think I have like 7 Laserdisc players in my house now, along with 3 SVHS VCRS.  I just hope my wife doesn't check the closet in the guest bedroom anytime soon.  :O

This silly book has already inspired me to take out my 3DO and play a bunch of games!

It's funny...I also want to get some games I see in the book but have never played. I can't believe that MEGARACE is tempting me, but it is.

I should know better.

My trusty 22'' Iiyama CRT monitor finally died.  So I bought an Eizo Foris FG2421.  I must say I'm quite impressed, the contrast and brightness is fantastic, and coupled with the 240hertz mode it's a very pleasing replacement.  Highly recommended.

I went by the thrift yesterday on a whim and found some good stuff!

2015-06-11 Thrift Store Finds by xelement5x, on Flickr

Trauma Center: New Blood [Wii]
Uncharted: Golden Abyss [PSV]
Champions of Norrath [PS2]

It blew my mind to find a PS Vita game already and I am super stoked that it is one I had actually wanted.  Couldn't argue on the price at only $3 so I grabbed it right away. 

I've also already got the first Trauma Center game and the second Norrath game so both of those were good grabs for me. 

I also grabbed an extra original PS2 with hookups that had the broadband adapter on it as well.  I know Gamestop now pays at least $25 for a complete PS2 alone and considering the whole lot cost me about $17 I can't complain.  I'm still not sure if I will trade it in though, a PS2 plus Free McBoot and a decent hard drive makes a nice little machine to play games on.

I very much doubt it unfortunately as the seller didn't mention it and mentioned everything else. The sleeve seems to command quite the premium.

I didn't want to start buying Hucard games until we talked more about our trade but I am going to need to get 1 Japanese game and 1 US game by the time it arrives to I can make sure it's working.

Strangely enough I didn't know I wanted it either lol! Ends up the seller I got Paranoia and Armed F from threw it in the package as a surprise bonus. I got those games and the iscan units pretty cheap on ebay. All in all was a pretty good past couple of weeks of small buys.

I remember buying Landstalker from the clearance bin at the local KB Toy Store back in the mid 1990's.
What really resonates with me is the fact that it came packed with a fruit roll up inside.  For some reason, the fruit roll up company had some sort of marketing tie-in on this title. 

Guess it's one incentive not to keep your games sealed.

Nope; it was $10 shipped, and you could probably find it even cheaper if you trolled forums, thrifts, etc.  Evil Dead and Evil Dead 2 are pretty cheap as well, unless you want the special versions (gold ED and red ED2).

Nice haul man i still i never understood why sega had to put peter pan on the cover for landstalker  :roll: ](*,)


Looked up the Japanese cover, looks much nicer. Why did game covers need to be so lame for  a North American release  :?

I've looked at the japan cover before it is indeed way better.Heck if i could have a custom cover of that,id take it instead.


The cover project is your friend!

The modded Core Grafx w/ IFU I've been waiting on arrived in the mail today. The seller included a random hucard game so at least I know it's working.

Also, I picked up this anime today via CL.

It's from an old anime, Galactic Whirlwind Sasuraiger, which unfortunately hasn't ever been translated.  It's loosely based on Around The World In 80 Days & the characters all have very American names.  Not to mention the antique steam locomotive-styled spaceship that turns into a robot.

Takatoku, the company that made the original toys for Macross, Orguss, and Dorvack (many of which were acquired for G1 Transformers) also made the toys for this show.  They made sofubis, non-variable action figures, a small henkei-type transforming figure (later released in the US under the Convertors line, which I also have) and this big guy.  Both the transforming toys require a bit of parts-forming, but there's something highly impressive about getting a robot that imposing out of something that looks like it should be running around your Christmas tree.

Ha!  I have actually been listening to the PE soundtrack again recently.  I loved the game and played the crap out of it back and the day. 

My friend and I would actually replay the game and swap saves so that each of us could benefit from continuing to increase the stats super high on a weapon that you could carry over from each playthrough.  Made it to the top of the Chrysler Building and and got the "true" ending too :)

MVU 4 Neo Geo Candy Cabinet by xelement5x, on Flickr


I recently picked up this MVU-4 Neo Geo cab from a gentlemen up in Denver and it's a really nice small candy cab with a 25" monitor on it.  Also has a coin box, and panels that make it super easy to access the included MV-4F Neo Geo PCB with a Unibios already installed.  Plus working memory card and headphone ports on the front, though I do not own a memory card or anything yet, and he also let me keep the JP mini-marquees at the top that are installed.

The seller also included a Neo Geo to Jamma adapter so that I can use other JAMMA PCBs with the unit nice and easily.  I have a couple other PCBs so that'll be nice to be able to swap around too.  I am just super duper excited to finally have a nice clean cab to play stuff on!

Picked this lot up yesterday off a local guy for $100 cad. Haven't bothered to check if that's high or not. All the games came with little plastic cases too. First time I've come up on Neo Geo Pocket in Canada, and I completely forgot about it until this point. Only time I ever seen these things were at a KB Toys in like Buffalo area once or twice when I was a kid and I had no idea what they were. Me and my cousin were playing some games yesterday, it's pretty cool. The controls are awesome and the screen's colour is pretty nice. I also love that the lithium battery used for keeping saved game memory is a part of the console and easily accessible compared to the Game Boy Colour and Game Boy Advance setup.

Decent deal.
I had a NGPC once, but I could really warm up to it.  Mainly the audio has that chintzy Sega Master System-sound to it (shrilly and bell-like I guess).  Kind of surprising since this was late 1990's technology.

Yep no backlight. Seems a lot more tolerable than what I remember my Game Boy Colour being... Maybe because its bigger or the better graphics but it plays well under some light.

I like the audio so far,  but yea I can see the similarities in sound with the Sega consoles. I've been playing my Master System quite a bit lately.

Every few months someone sets up an event at a hall, rents out tables to different stores in the area and usually a handful of collectors too. A couple collectors I've seen a couple times now usually have a lot of loose PCE games specifically but I don't know much about the library so I never pick anything up #-o but there's always a few people with a stack of imports for most consoles. Seen some of everything except Megadrive and PS2 today. Guess people in Southern Ontario like to import lol

Manic Game Girl - Korean Exclusive PS1 Game by xelement5x, on Flickr

So this is a pretty uncommon (possibly even RARE :P ) game.  I had seen it awhile back on a JP site for a cheapish price with no indication as to condition so I jumped on it and it showed up today.  Much to my surprise, despite some slight staining to the manual and obi it looks to be in quite nice shape.  It even came with the registration card which I've never seen before. 

It is a PS1 Korean region exclusive title, but looks like it plays fine on Japanese PS units.  Due to the Korea only release, not a lot of copies are seen, I had only heard about the game from talking to cabbage and SuperDeadite about it.

Korean exclusive Playstation game from 2002! Kind of a Shenmue-lite I suppose. It's sort of a celebration to gamer/otaku culture. Lots of references to many other games. Neat idea, but the combat is rather annoying due to very stiff controls, lining up attacks is rather difficult. Can be enjoyable in small spurts though.

Yeah, my interest was piqued after watching SuperDeadite's video and talking with him about it for a bit.  I would be lying though if I said I didn't think it was a pure collectard piece, and I paid around what Deadite did for it as well I think.

The MGG 'staining' is pretty common. I guess they cheaped out on the packaging. The registration card seems to be made with higher quality paper :lol:

Glad you got it for a good price xele ;) It's a nice piece for a collection, but perhaps not such a nice piece for a gaming library nowadays. Too bad the English localization never saw the light of day... even if the gameplay isn't so great, there's still a fairly novel setting/story with quite a bit of fanservice.

PEII was definitely more of an action game, iirc.

I liked PE2 as well but it seemed a lot darker than the original.  Also, it felt like Square was trying to change the gameplay to make it more like Resident Evil than sticking with what made the original game so novel and fun.  I have yet to play 3rd Birthday as well, but have heard mixed things regarding it.

Picked up some more Saturn imports. One is new in the wrap, which is cool because I've never actually looked into what the spine cards were used for :? Still not sure why they were necessary?

I still don't understand why we haven't gotten an extraordinarily good Jurassic Park game for current or next-gen consoles. Imagine a JP game with gameplay and polish similar to Arkham Asylum or Alien Isolation. My penis usually ends up killing one of my neighbors whenever I think of such a game.

Played it for 5 minutes so far. Seems like it's 97% English. The "story mode" is interesting, racing across the US in short timed segments where you start in last place and as you pass rival cars in one leg it carries over into the next. It's challenging with road obstacles like traffic and narrow or 2-way roads or a twisty road on a cliff (smh). Control is kinda sensitive but I figure it's something you get used to, although I don't have anything to compare it to. Also haven't tried the race wheel with it yet. Cool game.

I did the express shipping so 2-5days, I hope it's here during that time frame.

Now that I have this thing on the way I may look into recapping all my old consoles and RGB modding them as well. But my Duo was the first, you hear me!! My Duo is first! :)

I feel like I've probably talked about a couple of these already, but they are recent gets so I figured I'd show em off anyway.

Rez & Half-Life are repros.  They don't exactly look official, but they look okay nestled in with my other Dreamcast games.

Rez is an awesome game, but I find when I play it, I fall into a drowsy trance similar to highway hypnosis.  Deceptively difficult, too.

Half-Life is an incredible port.  The frequent load times, unstable frame rate & lack of a quick save option are a bit of a chore, but the fact that the game is running at all (and looks as good as it does) on the Dreamcast is something that endlessly amazes me.  So very glad I have the keyboard & mouse.

I haven't delved much into any of the other games yet, except for Sword of the Berserk.  I enjoyed that one, but holy hell it's got some long cutscenes.  The gameplay can get a bit repetitive, but I find that's par for the course in this genre.  I can dig it.

Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective is the pack-in disc that also comes with the 4-pak of Genesis games.  My stepdad found it while cleaning out the attic; presumably, it came with his old Sega CD (which has since disappeared from the material sphere). 

Oh, and I almost forgot, I upgraded to this guy since I had a late model Dreamcast that wouldn't play CD-Rs:

Sega Video Magazine - 1994/12 and LaserActive Promo VHS by xelement5x, on Flickr

I picked these up kind of randomly.  The LaserActive VHS was one I'd be wanting to find for awhile, there is also a LD version of it too.  The Sega Video Magazine was also this weird thing they did back in the day, it lasted from 1993 to 1998 which is kind of neat.  I figured it would be a cool thingy to add to my library.


STEALTH EDIT:  This also just showed up today from our favorite DoxPhile

(http://i60.tinypic.com/2l3r4h.jpg)

I think there are around a dozen import and ~90 NA games with no doubles. Basically worked out to like $2 a game plus a working CIB console, 2 duds, soft bag, cool hard carry case, few power packs and a couple other accessories thrown in on top. Guy I bought it off of manages a local game store which usually sponsors a couple game swaps so was a pretty cool deal. Had every game listed out in his Kijiji ad which I wish I copied cause cataloging them is gonna take forever smh

I haven't posted in this thread for a while. A fan of the show sent me two arcade PCBs a while back that he got with a bundle and didn't want. Those games were Gonta the Diver 2 and Konami's Premiere Soccer (which is actually pretty fun). This gave me a hankerin' to upgrade my Supergun from a shitty s-video thing to an RGB-only thing with zero circuitry. I also started grabbing some games. Here are the ones I've gotten so far:

(http://www.joeredifer.com/crap/Arcade1.jpg)
Here's Rastan, Choplifter and Metal Slug 5.

Rastan requires -5V from the power supply in order to produce sound. Superguns usually don't have that. Mine does now. Choplifter is one of my favorite games and I am so happy to finally have it. It's also by far my biggest PCB yet. Metal Slug 5 is my smallest PCB so far. It was cheaper than even the MVS cart so I said "why da hell not?" I find it curious that SNK also produced JAMMA PCBs and not just Neo Geo carts.


(http://www.joeredifer.com/crap/Arcade2.jpg)
Golden Axe: Revenge of Death Adder and Shinobi.

Golden Axe Revenge of Death Adder was kind of a holy grail of mine. You see these on eBay here and there selling for about $500 from a non-US seller, likely the JP version of the game. I was lucky to get this one which is the US version from a US seller for significantly cheaper than the usual $500 asking price. The US version has you play through 7 areas instead of 5 for the other versions. There are two spots in the game where you choose your path and in the non-US version you have to pay through the game again to see the path you did not choose. Not a huge deal but it makes the game last longer. Shinobi is another one of my all-time favorites. This one came without the sound working. I had to replace the Z80 and the sound ROM which set me back a whopping $20 I think.

Future games I want to get are:
-Golden Axe (with sound fix already done, preferably)
-Gun Force 2 (saw one on eBay recently for a good price but I have spent far too much money lately)
-Ninja Baseball Bat Man
-Ghouls n Ghosts

After that... who knows?

Famicom arrived. Was filthy and had an old game pad label on each pad. One pad had a Kirby one, the other a worn our Parodius one. I had to soak the pads then scrub them good to get that crap off, and scrub the system shell down. Replaced the 1000uf 6.3v cap with a 16v one. Cleaned out the cart slot. Refurbished the gamepads with new rubber and recalibrated the mic in the 2nd pad. Then AV modded the thing. There is a chip in the corner I may fill in with filler and sand down. If I do it I will worry about it later. Its not a must do thing right now.

I considered doing a peroxide thing, but honestly my cam makes it look a tad more tan then it is. And I think it kinda adds charm or character, kinda like the chip on the corner. This Famicom has the look of "I'm a survivor". I mean seriously, if you'd seen how it looked when it got to me..... Tough little guy was just waiting for someone to rescue him. :)

Lol, looked up Galgun and it sounds funny.  I am guessing you got that from Play Asia with the free GT6 game?
Yup, got them from Play Asia. Last year I tried the demo from the japanese PSN. I knew I'd get it eventually. One could say it is the stereotypical japanese game.

Damn how does eBay assess a seller fee to that? Lol


Roughly 10% of $5.96 so around 60 cents in sold fees.

It's the end of the month and I had a bit of extra cash left so I decided to stop by the thrift to see if anything neat came in.  Came across these guys:

2015-07-30 Genesis 6 Button and Mad Catz PS1 AV Passthrough by xelement5x, on Flickr

A 6 button Genesis controller in nice shape is a rare find these days for me, it was $4 but works mighty fine and looks quite good too with no surface damage.  They also had a Genesis Power brick for a Model 1/Sega CD but they wanted $5 so that was a pass.  Might try my luck on Saturday when it's 50% off.

Also there was this interesting AV cable for the PS1.  Normally I would pass on a generic PS AV cable but this one is funky, as it's one of those designed to pass through the signal so that you can use a GunCon with a non-composite connection.  I've only ever seen the official Sony ones and this one was boxed so I figured I would grab it at only $2.

Nice find man. I actually always wanted one of those AV Pass through adapters for my Playstation. it's pretty cool because it makes everything that much cheaper due to being able to use regular AV Cables. Nice score.

I never bothered with forum's built in file uploader.  Many forum have low limit on max file for the whole account, not just by the post or thread.  I've always used imgur or photobucket, they allow image linking easy.

over the last month or so, not much spent in total. 
I recommend a go at the untouchables.  it's like a re-imagined "whak-a-mole".
Gangstas pop out of windows and you have to shoot them before they recede back in. (not a light gun game, controller driven reticle).  You have a time limit to hit a defined amount.  It's kind of addicting.  I only did the first three levels, so I'm not sure if the game play changes later on.

And a few NES dupes I got on the cheap for trade bait in the future.

Its funny. I started playing more arcade games on MAME lately. So i have been revisiting a number of NES conversions to see how bad some of the efforts are in the ports. POW was obviously a pretty good one.

Not a gaming related stuff but I had an interesting find.  I was visiting Radio Shack (the one that didn't get shuttered in bankrupcity wave a few months ago) that I had never been to.  It was huge compared to standard Radio Shack and they had lots of things that looked like it should have stayed with the 80's era Radio Shack including some vacuum tubes and sockets, electronic books, etc.  They even had a few Coco games (at original retail price, box looks smushed to hell)  It was almost like half of the store was still stuck in 80's and other half a today style without ridiculous overpriced cell phone.  Too bad that store is like 50 miles away and in a place I rarely go by.

I ended up with just a few pieces that I normally wouldn't find at typical Radio Shack.

Gypsy Dreamcast Bundle by xelement5x, on Flickr

My half of a trade from Gypsy. Lots of awesome Dreamcast games to add to my library and some not so awesome.  I'm trying to get many of the heavy hitters out of the way early as I consider going for a full set like an ultra collectard.  It will be slow going though since I am trying to fund any additional purchases through sales for the time being and I've got some other things I want to pay off as well.

Quite a few good ones, actually: Mark of the Wolves and Last Blade 2 are quality, and Spiderman, Toy Commander, and Revolt are decent as well. Haven't played them on the DC in a while, so my memory is faulty, but I remember those being definitely worthy of a buy. Sega Rally a lot of people liked, too, but I never played it on the DC.

Yeah, Gypsy had some pretty decent titles he was willing to trade off to me, the only "junk filler" ones in my opinion based on what I played so far were NFL QB 2001, and 102 Dalmations.  Even Chicken Run was okay, but I find Aardman stuff pretty charming too.

Mark of the Wolves, Last Blade 2 and Tech Romancer are all awesome. I would not have traded them without replacing them with Japanese copies (which I did). Some people like Illbleed but I didn't care for it so it was easy to move on from that one.

Sega Rally is alright, it's a competent racing game.

For anyone wondering about my side Element sent me lots of PCE goodies (Cadash, 3.0 sys card, R-Type I, Puyo Puyo, ten no koe bank, Dragon Spirit, Genji Tsushin Agedama, Space Harrier) a Genesis Game Genie and some (okay quite a bit of) money.

If you have access to AES or MVS I'd certainly play one of those. I like the Dreamcast controller better for fighters or I otherwise would have imported it on PS2 which is a better console version. It seems to be about the same as the US release but it is worth noting that I was sent the first pressing of the game. I don't know if the "the best" budget release fixed the issues. Maybe Redump will have information on if those discs are different.

I wouldn't be surprised, I know lots of people hate it but I really don't mind it at all. The only really absurd thing about it is the fact that the cord comes out the bottom so you have to put it in that stupid nook. Otherwise it fits rather nicely in my hands and is solid and functional.

Anyway from my experience the Dualshock 2 dpad is blargh hence my preference with fighters. It's a very good controller otherwise though.

God damn...it sounds like the system is trying to SAW itself in half when it's in the middle of loading some games!

And there are some games (Redline Racer comes to mind) where it's extra bad.

Holy smokes at those Turbo grabs. I would probably pee myself seeing a lot like that in person. Lots of games there that I don't have (and want) but can't afford right now. XD

fun fact is, it can even help to know if you,re getting a random encounter fight in skies of arcadia :D

^^^ This right here!  You could always pop open the menu real quick if you forgot to heal or something, or maybe dive to a door and miss the fight sometimes :D

My favorite controller is probably the N64 controller.  I know I know it seems messed up but I really do like it.

My TG CD is fairly quiet all things considered, you might be having some gear problems.

The Dreamcast has a fan, some beeping noises and a lot of disc activity. If you happen to have VMU's plugged into your controller ports, and god forbid four controlers with two VMUs each you hear a loud screech from the VMUs when you power it on.

My gears were replaced a couple years ago by KC. I think I have the 2 gear solution now. That could be why its noisy.

My Dreamcast is louder than my Duo, but nowhere near to the extent I've read about.  Not even my last dreamcast was that loud. 

My laserdisc player, however, sounds like a space shuttle about to launch when you press play.

NES Nintendo Bundle by xelement5x, on Flickr

Well, I bought Nintendo stuff for like the first time in a very long time last week.

This bundle was up on Craigslist on Friday for $60 and had only been up a couple hours so I texted the guy and got a reply "sorry, they were claimed already ".  Okay, not unexpected since Nintendo stuff brings out all the tards near me, so I just forgot about it and moved on with my life.  Had an excellent weekend and then early Sunday morning I got another text "others did not pick up, would you still like to buy the Nintendo?"

My spider sense was tingling, it seems odd that something like this would still be available after like 3 days on CL so I said yes, asked about location and it seemed like a regular residential neighborhood.  Brought backup on the odd case it might be a scammer but the truth turned out to be more interesting...

I drive up and the garage door is open, it's an older guy and he is refinishing a door in his garage.  I say hello, mention my name, and exchange greetings, the NES belonged to his daughter and he found it in storage recently and didn't want it, seems normal enough.  I guess after putting up the ad he had a number of people contacting him, and he had 2 guys in line to buy it.  One was going to pick up Friday evening, never showed.  The other was gonna come Saturday, never showed.  After getting 2 people lined up and having contact info he had deleted the ad and all the other replies, but for some reason mine just happened to survive the culling.  Lucky me!  He also had a gold record on the back wall of his garage which I neglected to ask about, but it was a funny experience, it's hard to believe I was the one who got to the goods out of sheer luck.

The NES deck is in nice shape, has original hookups but is missing the controllers even though there's a light gun.   Games were Super Mario Bros 2, Super Mario Bros 3, and Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure.  Excellent Adventure is complete, Mario 2/3 are in nice shape but missing the manuals, I'm just kind of happy to finally have copies of the games in nice shape after all these years.  It's not the best deal, but it's not the worst either.

Oh, also included was Super Mario Bros/Duck Hunt but I forgot to include it in the picture.

This is pretty much everything I managed to get this summer. I leave to go away to school in about 2 days so it was nice to get the remaining items in (my Dreamcast VGA box didn't arrive in time, but oh well). Some games here are from VGS, ebay deals, the Troy Aikman Genesis cart is MWIV from chop, Truxton was from DragonmasterDan (Thanks again!), Prince Makai and Baseball Stars are from Bartre.

(http://i57.tinypic.com/qsnlsm.jpg)

CMVS is from Jamma Nation X. I was debating about going the arcade route and whatnot, but I'm not very technical and I'd like to find a cheap cab on Craigslist or something to dick around with anyway. This has RGB, S-video, Composite (just for the sake of convenience), and Unibios. Can't wait to get some more MVS carts and probably a Multicart at some point, also Windjammers whenever the chance presents itself to me. Been waiting for this day for quite awhile, glad to finally be able to play Neo Geo at home. Hoping I can get some people at school interested in NG and PCE to start some tournaments and whatnot. But all in all, couldn't be happier. Don't worry though, I'll still have plenty of time for the PCE :wink:

You won't regret it. Having a neo at home is awesome! I play mine all the time. I'm really glad I went with a cmvs too. Costs less, takes up less space, and you can cozy up in your favorite chair. If I had gotten a cab, I doubt I would play it as much.

Well I guess by "arcade route" I more so meant like the Supergun type stuff with buying boards. It's definitely something I'd love to do at some point, but one step at a time. Hell if I can get a big red Neo cab for cheap, I'll definitely jump on it :mrgreen:

20150814 - Thrift Finds by xelement5x, on Flickr

Went to the thrift the other day with a goal in mind but actually found something good as well.  I needed a new alarm clock/radio for our guest bedroom since the current one is broken and  picked up this nice Panasonic one for $3.

But the game case also had Dreamcast games, WHAT?! I almost never see Dreamcast goodies so I was really excited.  And they are games that I needed and are not horrible!  So I picked up Ready 2 Rumble and Ready 2 Rumble Round 2 for $2 each, happy days. They also had complete copy of Double Dribble for the NES they wanted $13 for.  LOL.

I also found a small slice of racism in 45RPM format so I picked it up for kicks at 70c.  My daughter liked the "hop hop" on the cover when she saw me bring it in so I am torn as to whether or not I should let her play with it. I might pull out my little 33/45 turntable and see if she can figure it out.

The game was on my search list for a long time  :wink:. It's an awesome game.
If you have graphic problems on a M92 PCB there are usually two problems:
- a bad connection between the top and bottom board
- a missing or wrongly placed jumper on the top board
Glad your PCB is fully working again  :clap:.

how did i way over pay? its very hard to find any of the aes games for 50 bucks or less. kof 94 us version alone sells for around the 200-300 dollar mark, some times even higher than that. the other aes games range from 70-100 a pop. the mvs games aero fighters 2 sells for 40-50 and fatal fury special from 20-30 bucks. i think i paid a good price for the condition of the games, otherwise, i wouldn't have bought em

to round it off, here's what i paid
Art of fighting 2, world heroes 2 jet, aero fighters 2 and fatal fury special-$200 shipped
Kof 94, art of fighting, world heroes 2-$240 shipped
Ninja combat-$60 shipped

if you look up sold listing on the games individually, they are worth more than you think. im happy with what i paid. Even with the NOS games that were selling for 22 bucks a pop a few years ago, now those games are going for 3x sometimes even 4x the amount now a days.

That's actually the "Fan Art edition" which is a rarer variant than the large box set Working Designs made for the US PS1 version.

I have only the discs in the set, although I wish I had gotten all the boxy goodness.  I was able to pick it up on the cheap like under 25 bucks off the net not to long ago.

Bought it at a store for $45 ($32 USD?). I noticed the fan art CD labels, thought that was pretty cool. Think the cost was a little high but eh, I probably won't find it around me for much cheaper.

I haven't looked up prices on those in ages. But a decade ago, the fan art edition commanded a significant premium more than the regular box set.

Yeah, the Fan Art version is much more uncommon that the regular LE version.  From a collectability standpoint it is rarer, but the original LE with all the goodies is cooler IMHO.

Yep, however shipping can be slow. When Cagliostro came out on remastered DVD some people got it like a week and a half before I did. Keep in mind, this was right around Christmas time and the mail in general was running slow. But still, you should get it long before Amazon and you're cutting out a middleman and helping the publisher directly.

Star Ocean for ps1 is one of my favorite video games ever. It was my first JRPG, and it is the game that actually turned me into a "gamer" i stopped playing little league football when i discovered star ocean.

I also have the fan art version of lunar. I got it when it was first released. I was at the mall with my uncle, and he was buying ps2 games, and i asked him to buy it for me. He made some comment like " why do you want this fairy shit?" He bought it for me anyway :)

I played the first Star Ocean on the PSP and really liked it. Never got around to playing Second Evolution and still want to, but I think I might set up the Playstation and play the original now just for fun. After that hopefully someday I'll get to the PS2 and PS3 releases... And the forthcoming PS4 release... So many backlogged RPGs geez.

They actually both work...I'm going to have to frankenstein them together to make one "perfect" cab.

The one on the left has a better motor, better controls, better monitor...and honestly the cab is in better overall shape but the knucklehead operator literally sawed off the floorboard of the cab

The one on the right has sound issues and the monitor is on its last legs, but the cab is structurally intact and only needs a bit of bondo here and there + a repaint.

I have brand new side art, bezels, decals, gears, floormats, the works waiting in the wings...probably going to transport the guts of left machine into right machine, fix the body up and move the extra parts (or give them to some enterprising person who wants to restore it).

Left cab didn't come with keys, so I'm going to have to drill the locks and inspect the board. Hoping it's of the non-suicide-battery variety.

Hm, you know, I bought the "Star Ocean: Till the End of Time" and didn't realize it was the 3rd one in a series till I read your post and looked it up... Heh. I was at the time just supporting SquareEnix and when I'd randomly see a new game published by them at BestBuy, I would buy it though usually I'd wait for the $19.99 pricepoint admittedly.

EDIT: Oh wait, nevermind, turns out I also bought "Star Ocean: The Second Story" for the PS1. Just saw it in my stack photos I linked. Now I remember, the first one was a SNES game and maybe-or-maybe-not it had a fan translation done for it.

But yeah, I have been backlogged for more than a decade where I simply continued to buy games from companies that I liked (to show that my dollars still counted!) such as SquareSoft/Enix, Konami, Capcom and some great stuff Sony themselves localized over and all with the eventual hope that when things died down for me between my education, work and life, I would play a great "catch up" and knock 'em all down in short order when I got to that point... Well, life didn't work out that way and the backlog built itself up to great big ole stacks of untouched games... ;) Some of 'em I collected over the years are shown stacked up in my room photos here (http://www.ysutopia.net/uploads/room/) to give an idea of the debacle that this thinking resulted in.

Yes the original Super Fami Star Ocean was translated years ago. I have a repro cart of it but can't get very far. That damn game has some crazy complicated play mechanics that I can't wrap my mind around. Too bad too cause the game is gorgeous.

Haha nice I have a stack of 50 PS3 games sitting on a tower speaker like that. Everything else is pretty much in bins. I actually don't have a lot of PS1 games; it was my first console growing up but my parents had it modded and I've just got a ton of random copied games. Now I'm trying to grab real copies of games that I really liked. One of my favorite games though was The Misadventures of Tron Bonne and, well, damn. Also want to pick up the Tales of Destiny games (I see your II) cause I'm a fan of that series as well. Played both Xillia games last Christmas and Phantasia a couple months ago. Think I have some form of all of the NA 'Tales of' games except for those two.

Side note -- played Tales of Phantasia through a Game Boy Player on the Game Cube; totally look at GBA games under a different light now. And they're still relatively cheap!

2015-08-19 Genesis and Dreamcast Pickup by xelement5x, on Flickr

I had some extra stuff which was a combination of nobody wanted and not worth selling so I took it into the local game store to get some in store credit and was happily surprised with what they gave me for it all. 

I had mainly had my eye on Psychic Force 2012 but I got about $40 for everything I brought in so I picked out some other stuff as well.  They also had a buy 3 get 1 free promo going on so I was pretty happy with what I was able to get out of the trade ins, and everything is complete!

Psychic Force 2012 [Dreamcast]
Judge Dredd [Genesis]

Empty Wild Guns box ??? Pfffffft... Too bad... That's an exceptionally fine game of the 16-bit era, a fine game - I found myself actually having, you know, "fun" when I discovered it and dove in! It's got that right level of challenge where you need to get some good practice in to advance, but you'll have fun while gaining the necessary experience to get there. Great reason to own a SNES flashcart for play on your US console. :)

I would not put that Dynastic Hero in my system until you have Agent clean it properly!

People talk about recapping and crap all the time, but few know about the prob with DH and how it kills Lazers.

Agent can take care of it.

And an RGB SCART cable.

Last week was kinda good.  Nothing teh uber rarrezz11!!11 but good finds at good prices.


First up, always wanted one of these thingys, and now I have one.

(http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a104/evilevo8/Classic Game Pickups/_572_zps4l0jelc2.jpg) (http://s10.photobucket.com/user/evilevo8/media/Classic Game Pickups/_572_zps4l0jelc2.jpg.html)

Only Composite or god forbid RF but it looks very nice for what it is and I use it for light gun games and so on.  NES games look REALLY good on it.  Obviously great sound as well, lots of BASS.


I picked this up for my XBONE for when I travel on business, which has been a lot lately.

(http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a104/evilevo8/Classic Game Pickups/IMG_8095_zps9uuwebcz.jpg) (http://s10.photobucket.com/user/evilevo8/media/Classic Game Pickups/IMG_8095_zps9uuwebcz.jpg.html)

(http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a104/evilevo8/Classic Game Pickups/IMG_8096_zpsvo42c3f1.jpg) (http://s10.photobucket.com/user/evilevo8/media/Classic Game Pickups/IMG_8096_zpsvo42c3f1.jpg.html)

This was an excellent find.  I visited an old style Americana dispensary that sold anything and everything from Tin Type Photos from the 1850's to brand new packs of NYC Subway tickets to the 1940's.  Lots of original movie posters, many old toys, old tools, signs, basically if you ever watched American Pickers it would be a dream store.  OLD Coke machines and coolers that used ammonia to cool, I was in there for hours going through everything.

As I was leaving I had asked if he had any Atari's, he said sure, all the way in the back buried under a Mountain of  shit was a complete NES with three games, $25.  Sold

(http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a104/evilevo8/Classic Game Pickups/IMG_8087_zpszflfasr8.jpg) (http://s10.photobucket.com/user/evilevo8/media/Classic Game Pickups/IMG_8087_zpszflfasr8.jpg.html)

(http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a104/evilevo8/Classic Game Pickups/IMG_8088_zpsq5aabn83.jpg) (http://s10.photobucket.com/user/evilevo8/media/Classic Game Pickups/IMG_8088_zpsq5aabn83.jpg.html)
Mario 2 was lodged in it.  Love that game.  Works perfectly, don't even need to blow into the games.

Spent the Next three hours playing Vs Dr. Mario with my GF.  Money well spent.
(http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a104/evilevo8/Classic Game Pickups/IMG_8099_zps4amwsdj3.jpg) (http://s10.photobucket.com/user/evilevo8/media/Classic Game Pickups/IMG_8099_zps4amwsdj3.jpg.html)



Got all these for $2-$3 each at a Pawn shop.  Not bad, always nice to have boxes.  The SNES game is some sort of F1 Game.  Not very good.  Wheel of Fortune is Brand New and will remain that way.  I might as well play the Sega CD Version any way.

I wasn't really expecting you to ever trade/sell that one off lol.  Stang is certainly one of the best pure shooters I've played in a long time.  No gimicks, no tricks, just wave after wave of insanely fast enemies, plus incredibly detailed graphics and one of the best soundtracks ever.

Last night the thrift store was good to me:

2015-08-25 Panasonic DMR-EZ48V by xelement5x, on Flickr

I am SOOO happy that I found this unit. It's a Panasonic DMR-EZ48V VHS/DVD Recording unit.  This thing is the bomb, I have never seen VHS look this good, and it's designed specifically for upscaling and converting VHS and composite/SVID sources into 1080i and recording it onto DVDs. 

It's got a built in digital tuner, optical support, USB, toslink, SD Card, and even upscaled HDMI out on it!  Since it also accepts external input (as SVID or composite) as well It will be perfect for converting some of the rarer laserdiscs which I have to DVD. 

It was a bit pricy at $30 for me to normally buy at the thrift (especially with no remote) but apparently they're still selling easily for about $150 on ebay so once I finish my conversions I can probably sell if for an extra bit of cash.  I've been on the lookout for something like this for a couple months after this type of device was recommended to me for LD conversions.  I'm so glad I was patient!

2015-08-25 Pulp Comics and XBOX Light Guns by xelement5x, on Flickr


There were a couple of XBOX light guns for cheap that I grabbed up for a chatbox regular but it sounds like he probably doesn't want them since they only work on CRTs.  Not sure if I will keep them or not, I do have some lightgun games already.  They also had some crazy silent scope rifle/shotgun for the xbox that was missing the quick disconnect part on it to connect to the xbox though :(

They also had a number of older comics and weird pulp books from the 70s and 80s.  So I grabbed a couple to give to my brother in law, another guy snagged the Star Wars one which looked really neat but oh well.  There was also some Battlestar Galactica comics, GI Combat, and other ones as well.  At $1 each they were cheap, but I wasn't going to pick them all up either (there were probably about 50 various issues) since that would add up pretty quickly and I don't really need a lot of comics. 

The ones I did grab have kind of cool covers I though, I love that art, dig the chick chained to a post while a monster eats a dude in front of her! :O

Really nice find! I'm jelly. :)

Myself I've just picked up a Sony DVP-S9000ES DVD/SACD player.
Pristine in box.

Beautiful unit. And built like a tank. Literally. About 35lbs of heavy duty construction.
I'm guessing this thing was probably top of the range for it's time.

I'll post some pics when I get a chance.

$15 got me a Sony DAV-HDX585 with 4 of the 6 speakers (will have to check back for 2 missing "rear" speakers), the remote controller and 4 DVD discs still inside the system. 

$15 for a working 5 disc player is good deal.  With original remote and some of the speakers by a quality company like Sony is a steal.  Hell, eBay seller wants $15 just for the remote.

Snatcher's chiptunes on the Sega CD blow the PC Engine's PSG out of the water. The Redbook is the same though if I remember correctly.

Uh-oh, careful now Matt, that's heresy talk around here! Don't we frown upon objectivity when it comes to FEKA ?? You need to rewrite that just a little bit, it should be more like say, "The PC Engine's PSG chiptunes are pretty good, but they're just a tad better on the Sega CD, at least, it seems that way to me, but eh, I could be wrong though..." :P You might be a little too certain of yourself, you know ? Just sayin'. ;)

Hehe nah. I'm bold that way. Gotta take chances, speak my mind and be objective. And those who know me know that I love and appreciate all game platforms. No fanboyism here, though that may not be entirely true as I will come to the defense of the PCE more so than other consoles.

well let me hint you a little on the agme itself.
its not that bad...but you have to like these kind of game.
you always see from the eyes of main caracter (Paul Atreides)  8)
and you walk around rooms and send your crew do some work around getting spice and exploring.

no action in this game, very passive. But if you loved dune back then it might be a good experience  :wink:
story is nice and all,
voice acting and music is nice enough to enjoy

Wow you got a lot of nice pick ups there.  Although I am surprised you barely got super tempo because I would have thought you would have had that some time ago lol.  Also I am glad to see you finally got hihou densetsu chris no bouken with spine and Aurelia.  Definitely some really hard games to find with spine.  I actually did really well with my pc engine pick ups, but just need to wait for it to come in the mail, and show the peepz :)

Sega CD had a pretty decent stable of adventure games that not a lot of people talk about.  Many were PC ports, but as a kid I didn't have a computer that could do much of anything.  Willy Beamish, Rise of the Dragon, Monkey Island to name a few.  The Jurassic Park game is actually really good too, and I never realized it was an adventure game until much later.

I am an unabashed Sega lover (and Sega CD in particular), but I think most folks here already know that ;)

Cam Clarke voicing the main character. I remember the game being beatable in like 30 minutes once you knew exactly what to do. I did like the atmosphere, voice acting and theme. But it's no Snatcher.

I scored Maniac mansion and VICE: Project Doom for the NES. Both games for under $10.00! Just an awesome week. After checking, I had no clue Vice was going for so much these days. Just insane the way these prices keep going up on Evilbay. Makes me sad. But still, I got them for an affordable price, so all is good!

Yesterday I had a few things.  I found an used PSP 2001 in case with a game, 2 empty disk cases, and a 2GB memory stick all for $15.  Bad battery but it works when I plugged a generic 5v adapter in.  Judging by the few files on the memory stick, it seems someone got it long ago, played with it for a few hours, then forgot it for the next 5 years before it ended up at Goodwill.  I just bought on eBay a new battery, a proper charger (so I can get my USB hub back working!), and a few games.

Sony PSOne console with controller and AC adapter.  $8  Works as well.  Also got original XBox (type S) controller with breakaway cable cheap.  I passed up a lot of PSX controller (pre-analog), a couple black PS2 controllers, and crapload of icky games or too pricey games. ($20 for a loose DS game? suck my thing)

2015-08-31 Urusei Yatsura Anime Cels by xelement5x, on Flickr

So, this is my first foray into importing anime cels and I was kind of surprised by how cheap they go sometimes.  I paid 200 yen for the 3 cels above, but since I needed them fast I had them shipped via EMS.  Between shipping and fees it was another 3800 yen to get them to my door. 

Still pretty cheap at about $11 a cel I think, but I'm not sure if I'd import more anytime soon.  I'm going to (hopefully) get them signed by the Japanese Voice Actor of Ataru this weekend.  Thanks again to SuperDeadite for pointing me in the right direction to look for them.  :)

2015-08-31 Popful Mail Poster! by xelement5x, on Flickr


A new Popful Mail goody, YEAH!!!

This Popful Mail poster showed up a couple months ago and of course I had to grab it for my delightful Popful collection.  It's got some slight wear to it but is still in really nice shape for as old as it looks. 

Based on what I can tell, I think it was a pre-promotion poster for the PC-88/98 versions.  I'm guessing this mainly based on the fact that Tatto looks much older in this artwork than he does in the games.

I think this is the 3rd or 4th Mail poster I've managed to find.  Now I need that Develo Disc though!

Super Tempo complete & for a good price is a bitch to track down - took me a long time  :roll:.
I'm still missing about 50 Saturn titles that I want and there a (sadly) a few heavy hitters in there - most notably Hyper Duel (all auctions I have seen on that one in the last couple months ended between 350 - 450 Euro  ](*,) ](*,) ](*,)).

haha.  Oh, i paid for it.  There is no denying that.  It looks like it was just opened and never played.
The mix of pristine condition, short shipping distance, auction style listing, was worth it to me. Wanted this game for a long time, but finally just pulled the trigger. I think i have seen some BINs looking for 500 now, which i think is crazy. I won it at $356, which was still a bit higher than i wanted, but, its mine now. Prior to this, the most i ever paid for a single game was $275 for Might and Magic 3 on a drunken night of stupidity with a member here at the bar.

Just a cart converter.

For shits & giggles I tested it with my LA.

I guess nice to know that even the Sega Card/My Card games are functional on it.

Easier this way rather than removing the circuit board from its casing, as is the case if you were wanting to use a PBC on your LA.

I tested it as well to see if the 3D glasses work on it. But you can't use the Mark III and Master System slots at the same time on that tototek converter.

Labor Day Weekend was lots of fun for me!  I went to the regular anime convention near me (NanDesuKan) since my friend was in town.  There was also a vintage gaming con but unfortunately it was during the exact same times as the anime con so I wasn't able to get up there. :(

Anyway, pickups!

NDK 2015 Toshio Furukawa Autographs by xelement5x, on Flickr

At NDK 2015 this year I was able to meet Toshio Furukawa, the Japanese Voice Actor for Piccolo from DBZ/etc, Ace from One Piece, and best of all Ataru from Urusei Yatsura.

He was wiling to sign the anime cels I had picked up recently, plus a copy of the UY game for the PC Engine I had.  I also had some blank paper and he did a huge signature on that for me with Piccolo's name on it and the show title at the bottom. 

I also got a chance to go to his panel which was a lot of fun, he talked about doing VA work in Japan, dubbing over US actors, and answered questions. Probably the highlight of the event for me.


Also, if anyone is interested I posted all the random photos (mainly cosplay) I took at the con up here:

Summit of Mount Bross at 14, 177 feet by xelement5x, on Flickr

After the con was over the next day I climbed this 14er (Mt Bross) over Labor Day weekend with a friend and it took about four hours from the trailhead to reach the summit.  Thankfully the path wasn't very bad for most of the ascent and the round trip was about 9 miles up and back.  Skies were clear and no storms, but it was ridiculously windy and I almost got blown over a couple times. 

Totally worth the pain though, the view from the top was amazing.



Finally, not from the weekend but from yesterday...

King&#x27;s Knight Complete for the NES by xelement5x, on Flickr

So I have wanted a complete copy of this game for awhile but have continued to put it off since it is never really a priority.  It's one of the few US Nintendo games that still retains the amazing original anime-style Japanese art on the box and cart. 

I got this at a local gaming store that I have been trading a lot of misc stuff into recently.  I saw it hiding behind some of the other NES stuff and asked to look at it, then jumped on it instantly once I saw the amazing condition it was in.  I didn't even know it originally came with a nice full color poster so I was super excited to open it up and flip through it all the bits.

Best part is it only cost me an old PS3 controller I found at the thrift ($4), an Imagine Babyz DS game($1), and a dollar in change I found in my car console.

I don't have the poster with mine. But in checking through my NES boxes I spotted Puss In Boots as another box that retains it's anime style art.

So I have wanted a complete copy of this game for awhile but have continued to put it off since it is never really a priority.  It's one of the few US Nintendo games that still retains the amazing original anime-style Japanese art on the box and cart.

Oh yeah, that shooter oddball on the NES by SquareSoft... The other out-of-character oddball they also did was Rad Racer which had pretty good replay value, I played it many times.

Anyway, I rented and beat King's Knight BITD. Can't have thought too much of it though, but it was interesting to have run into it given it was SquareSoft and not quite their usual genre.

I just got Salamander Deluxe (PS1) in the mail. I'm so excited to play it, but I've got to wait a few days until my injured hand is healed from a bike accident - I had to avoid running over a dog.

Then I got a Proxxon Micromot rotary tool as well as some accessories like a drill stand, several drill bits for plastic, wood and metal, grinding bits, etc.
That Micromot is so much nicer to handle than my old Dremel 300 which I sold recently.

I have the Saturn version & it's worth owning for Salamander 2 alone.

You should pop it in & load up the sound test while you're waiting on your hand to heal. :)

I don't have the poster with mine. But in checking through my NES boxes I spotted Puss In Boots as another box that retains it's anime style art.


Thanks for the heads up, I may enlist your help in trying to find all the anime-styled games :)

Yeah,  it's a funky little game.   Definitely interesting to see the non-RPG stuff Square put out back then.

I lost my AV cable for TE. :(

Anyway, I thought the TE accepted:
composite video + L audio + R audio

(I have vague memories of the 1/8" male plug having 3 black stripes = four conductors)

However, your pic clearly shows mono sound + composite video (you have male 1/8" plug with two stripes, assume).

So, my question is: is my memory faulty? Does TE accept stereo input? I thought it did.

With only one speaker I imagine it's probably mono-only. Keep in mind I do not own a TE.

You can get stereo sound out of that headphone port.

In any case, wouldn't make a difference with that setup I have in that pic. I'm going via the Neo's A/V out. I'm only getting mono sound from there.

Some new BS...Megaman 2 is probably my favorite NES game of all time and not owning it was a crime...got that and Duck Tales for nice and cheap.

Sonic games - meh. I'm a Sega fanboy.

Deadly Premonition - I've heard so much about how this game is so-bad-it's-good; its on my next to play list after I finish God Hand.

Project X Zone sounded too interesting to pass up...hoping to put a dent in this one in time for the sequel to come out.

It's a low budget game that totally swings for the fences, if you're a fan of Twin Peaks you'll either like it or scream PLAGERISM!

It's an Xbox 360 game from 2008 or so that looks like it should be a first generation Dreamcast game. But it's damn interesting and a game I recommend people at least try.

I really legitimately enjoyed this game and played it non-stop when I got it a few years back.  I never cared for all the "so bad it's good" comments as I just thought it was simply good.  The graphics were slightly dated but just enough to remind me of the Dreamcast and PS2 titles I enjoyed, the music is great, the exploratory nature of the game is great, and most of all the world is full of detail.  There are mini games, stuff to collect, all kinds of dialogue and extra scenes aside from the main game.  I haven't bought Swery's new game on Steam, but I should soon.

Post by: johnnykonami on September 20, 2015, 01:04:01 PM
My sister loved Legend of Kage.  They had it in the arcade/rec room of a campground we stayed at often. (Cherrystone National Park in VA, anyone been?)  I got nailed by the fire breathing dude every time I played it, personally.  She was a bit better, I think she got to some kind of wall climbing part - no doubt if I had it for NES I would have improved, but I think that's as far as I ever saw in the arcade!

Coincidentally, I remember another Cherrystone Park related story.  My dad had hit the lottery and actually won something like $2000 from it, which I now know is damn decent considering how little I've won from it when I've tried.  He gave my sister and I each $50 bucks to blow at the campground (lot of money to us then) and normally I would have dumped a bunch of that at the arcade there, but Splatterhouse had just come out and I hung on to as much of it as I could stand so I could buy it when I got back home.  I think I did cave and change some quarters, so I have this memory of being at Toys 'R Us and paying out the full amount for it in change.  I'm sure I missed a ton of annoyed looks from the cashier.  So worth it though.  Gotta get that one back, one day.

I seem to remember that being the case, but I haven't played it since like 1994 or something like that so I can't fairly say.  I was too busy playing through Snatcher and Lunar 2 so it definitely didn't take up a whole lot of my time, though.

There's 20 or so US exclusive great games for it.

And then quite a few ports or whatever that are good as well. It has a pretty decent library overall, too bad so many RPGs were left in Japan for it.

Title: Re: teh "what did you buy today"-thread
Post by: Punch on September 21, 2015, 06:01:27 AM
FMV as a genre is kinda underrated because of Sega CD games ("LOL dana plato doing z movies!!!"). There are good FMV games, like the X-Files PC/PS1 game for example, which is very well done and in the style of the TV series; just because almost all FMV centric games are bad designed doesn't mean we should write the genre out. Yeah interactive movies aren't going to replace conventional games but I don't think that was the idea.

I love Road Avenger as well. I think the Sega CD version plays the best, though obviously the video quality is terrible. I have it on LaserActive as Road Prosecutor and Road Blaster (a direct port of the arcade version) for Saturn. It was released in Arcades, in the US it was a conversion for the Cobra Command laserdisc game, but they sold literally less than 10 of the conversion kits. One of the cabinets used to occasionally show up at California X-Treme though.

Oh yeah, I kinda remember going after the Saturn version of Road Blaster at one point.  Never got it, though.  It has different music right?  I played the Sega CD version first so I will always like that music the best.  That's interesting about the arcade conversion, guess that explains why I never ran into one.

You guys should try Road Avenger for the SNES if you can. It's very well done.

Ohh!  You know I googled it and found this article:

http://www.destructoid.com/super-road-blaster-the-impossible-laserdisc-to-snes-port-228189.phtml

it mentions "Matthias "d4s" Nagler" as the creator, so I just decided to make an ass out of u and me and figured it was you!

Oh yeah, I kinda remember going after the Saturn version of Road Blaster at one point.  Never got it, though.  It has different music right?  I played the Sega CD version first so I will always like that music the best.  That's interesting about the arcade conversion, guess that explains why I never ran into one.

Road Avenger for Sega CD, Road Blaster Arcade/Saturn/Playstation/PC and Road Prosecutor for Laseractive all have different music. They all also play a little differently.

There is an aiming reticle ala Cobra Command the LD game in the arcade Road Blaster that you use to aim your turbo boosts.

Prosecutor and Blaster play more similarly but prosecutor is way more picky about timing.

Cool pickups!  I always wanted a Neo Geo.  One of these days I'd really like to get a MVS cab.  I'm not the world's biggest fighting fan but there's a bunch of other Neo titles I'd love to pick up.  Shock Troopers, Baseball Stars 2, Sengoku (part 1!  Nostalgic to me), one of the Metal Slugs.. Kabuki Klash to bring in some Obey flavor... Damn, it's hard to even pick just 4!

Went back to Replay'd today in Boston which is only a Mile or so from Harvard.  I got me another Neo Geo Game.  I have the Japanese copy but this US version is in pristine condition and was barely used so I couldn't pass it up.  They lowered the price a bit too so I couldn't resist.

I couldn't buy Legend of Xanadu II for $15 bucks by itself from HitJapan as someone competed with me in the auction, but then right after I saw another listing for both games with a Make Offer option, I tried for $16 total which was accepted. :) I'm guessing condition will be a factor, but whatever, I'll see.

Also, I might just raffle the extra copy of Legend of Xanadu I that I bought from BlueBMW some day since this buy leaves me with 2 copies... Will just pick the best case, manual, CD, etc. and get rid of what's left. :/

Gulliver Boy. I lost an auction as a sniper came in at the last second. It got bid up to $15.50 as a result. But HitJapan also had 2 other copies with Make Offer, so using that final winning bid, I offered $15.50, but it was rejected... I looked some more, found their other Make Offer listing, I try $15, and they accepted it (maybe it's not as good in condition)! Hah, weird. So yeah, scored it at $15 flat with S/H. They wanted $19 total.

Pretty nuts how expensive Saturn stuff is now in general.  I owe one gentleman a great deal for helping me finish up what I was looking for a couple years ago. 

Anyway...so this is stuff I have grabbed over the last couple weeks at the thrift when I went by.

Thrift Finds: LPs and Games by xelement5x, on Flickr


I don't have many records and have been itching to get something worthwhile for the player I have and found these two interesting LPs for a couple bucks each.  One is opening songs for action shows, and the other is the Weird Al album "Dare to be Stupid".  I grew up listening to Dr. Demento so the Weird Al album was a perfect start for me.

I also found a couple cheap games, Resident Evil is in nice shape but has the Director's Cut version of the game disc in it instead of the original, will try and swap that out later.  Ralli Sport for the XBox is in mint shape with all the inserts and stuff, now I have both of these, the second game is pretty fun too.  There was a second copy as well that was greatest hits but I decided I probably don't need 2 copies of the same game.  :P

Finally, I also grabbed the loose PSOne unit for $5.  It still seems to work like a champ as well.  Plugged it in (used a PS2 slim supply) and that RE game booted up nice and fine without any issues.

Just missing two WD games. Sega Ages and that WWII game.

Know I am missing one or two of the $100 games still.

But I have picked up most of the harder to find games.

Most of them this year

Nice, PS2 was definitely the greatest for Horror games.  Shame a lot of those titles have gotten expensive.  I would love to see some of these re-release on Steam or something.  These, Silent Hill, Fatal Frame, Forbidden Siren...   and stuff like Kuon, too which I haven't even had the pleasure to try yet - would all be top of my list for a digital re-release.

Nice, PS2 was definitely the greatest for Horror games.  Shame a lot of those titles have gotten expensive.  I would love to see some of these re-release on Steam or something.  These, Silent Hill, Fatal Frame, Forbidden Siren...   and stuff like Kuon, too which I haven't even had the pleasure to try yet - would all be top of my list for a digital re-release.


Ya some great horror games on the system, Kuon is well done and a tough find.

Like the Clock Tower series, the Haunting ground you find your self being chased and i do not know about anyone else but that shit freaks me right the f@ck out.

Hey cool, Haunting Ground is something I picked up from BestBuy, and one of the few games I beat last couple of years! It's not in the high-end of quality for survival horror games like Resident Evil, Silent Hill 2, etc. but it is a fine Capcom game and worth playing through! I enjoyed it!

Yea these will probably be the first horror type games I play. The pair popped up on Kijiji as a "best offer" kinda deal. Googled the titles cause I've never heard of them and liked the cover art. Sounded pretty interesting. Then I hopped on eBay and watched a copy of Rule of Rose go for $250 :shock: I threw the guy what was probably a low ball offer but he took it. He said he had Rule of Rose on eBay as a BIN but too many people were hounding him to make a deal outside of eBay or something and he just wanted to get rid of the pair.

Haunting Ground is good but I guess Rule of Rose was a rental previously and has a label on the front and  back of the cover art and a small one on the manual... Should I attempt to peel?

Wow, so how much did you pay for Haunting Ground ? It was a red-tagged clearance item when I saw it for $15 bucks. Come to think of it, I may have been at Kmart, not Bestbuy. I've bought PS2 clearance items from both stores over the years, though the nearby Kmart just closed on me... Surprised it lasted this long competing against Walmart. While you do find better deals at Walmart, sometimes there are cheaper rarities at Kmart worth your time. I got great deals on some drawers way back with big instant rebates with the member card, so I bought 5 of them.

EDIT: Oh nevermind, I see, you can't really say, you bought it with the other one that's been the subject of crazed big-spenders... But upon checking eBay out it looks like it too has been driven up. :/ I don't think you'll be that impressed with the game given the money you spent, but oh well...

Yeah, those two are super expensive now.  I got my copy of Haunting Ground for like $3 several years ago, the $15 for Rule of Rose seemed like a lot for a horror game with mixed reviews.  Looking back I wish I had grabbed it, because even if I wanted to play it, it would cost a fortune to buy and play a legit copy now.

I paid $100 (or I guess $70USD) for them, which I thought was fair because I'm not flipping them and had no interest in them prior to stumbling upon them. There are a handful of games I'd rather pay face for. I'm excited to play them sooner or later, last few random games I've played have been considered mediocre but I really enjoyed them. I'd start playing them now with Halloween coming up but I'm super f***ed with school at the moment.

Anyone know why the prices are what they are for these games? Collectard pieces or cult following?

Yeah, the usual reasons I guess. Something just happens in those auctions where 2 or more knuckleheads are competing against each other, it gets bid up high in the process cause neither want to quit below <$50, everybody sees the eBay history and that somebody just paid $80 bucks for that old thing, so BINs start appearing around the range of where such auctions ended which are held on to for a while, etc.

A combination of big "MUST-COMPLETE-MY-COLLECTION-NOW" spenders , impatience, maybe some gamer channel giving it great reviews creating many more interested buyers, the eBay trending price feature, and then supply of the particular product going down, etc. It's all of that. Even when somebody does start an auction low, you see it get bid up again back around to where it was, so that shows you have too many big-spenders around willing to go that high and not enough of the item to go around.

Of course there's some shenanigans with professional resellers in the mix, but I think ultimately it's big-spenders who are setting the ranges and in turn tempting everybody else who might own the item if they ever see this... Like, I have "Bonk III: Bonk's Big Adventure" in very good condition CIB and I just saw an auction where somebody paid $700 bucks for the thing, that shit is tempting for me to throw it up on eBay some day hoping to catch 2 or more knuckleheads like that who think it's worth that much should they compete for it! But then if more of that history is created, when you wanna buy something, everything is long gone out of your price range and only those same big-spending nuts will ever get to own real copies...

It's crazy, I mean, it's a boring ass game, I think mostly cause of the music, but $700 ? Why didn't they give up at $100 during the auction process ? No no, I'll try $150, oh no, the other guy still wants it, OK, $200, damn, that other f--ker STILL wants it, OK, I'll throw $300 at this thing, shit, he outbid me again, f--k this guy, I'm gonna make sure he doesn't get it, OK, I'll throw $400 at this thing, holy f*ck, he outbid me to $450... What to do, OK, f--k it, I'm ALL IN BABY, $500!!! NO ? $600 then!!!! BEAT THAT BUDDY!!! On and on and on and on and on! Till we get the madness that is Magical Chase where we've seen auctions end at $2000 to $3000 to $4000, etc.

This collector mentality has really been eating away at me over the years. I barely even watch YouTube anymore, save for Turbo Views, just for the simple fact that I can't stomach the collector culture anymore. I saw a guy today who I normally respect talk about his new Everdrive 64. His number one reason for buying the thing was so that he didn't have to "ruin" his CIB games by, you know, actually opening them and playing them. Now I realize that this is a real strategy used by many people, but the way he talked about it made me feel weird inside. My heart was saying, "This is wrong."

Aaaaaaand...those fools over at Mondo/DataDiscs finally shipped out the Sega officially licensed vinyl soundtrack collections, volume 1 and 2:

(http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/09/29/398a2dea3ed46e338adeebead72c63e0.jpg)

Volume 3 and 4 are Shinobi 3 and Super Hang On, respectively, followed up next by Streets of Rage 2 and Outrun (!).
 
The best part - for some of the SoR1 vinyl, they recorded directly from the PC-88 software that Koshiro used to compose it.

I'm hoping to get the a copy of SoR2 and Outrun.  I was really close to pulling the trigger on the splatter version they did for SoR but couldn't justify the money at that point despite how awesome it looked.  SoR 2 however has one of the best soundtracks on the Genny IMHO, so that will be an instant purchase.

Publishers exercised a lot of artistic license back in those days when it came to box art. I guess they kind of had to, since most games were basically just squares shooting squares at slightly larger squares.

I think the astronauts on the cover of Super Breakout were my favorite. Ain't no astronauts in Super Breakout! :D

Yeah, funny this came up, it reminded me how angry I got as a kid after dumping a bunch of money on a game partly because the artwork was so great which falsely led me to believe the game could deliver in the same vein... Good thing a rental system arrived which ended dumping $50 bucks on a game only to beat it in 2-3 days, and not really care about it ever after along with the other disappointments as mentioned.

Nice rubberized type griping surface. And the d-pad on it is actually quite decent.

That Trailblazer game is pretty good.

I forgot about this.

All I remember is the drama surrounding the executives (crashing a Lamborghini and $$$??? ), or something like that.

It's been many years.


You're thinking of that Swedish guy (Stefan Eriksson) with ties to the mafia. He was pissed out of his face when he totalled that Ferrari. The car actually split in half.

Interesting character.

Embezzlement, grand theft auto, cocaine possession, and weapons charges make up the rest of his "resumé".   :P

I posted about this on a couple facebook groups today, Hope I didn't out bid anyone in here. I managed to score a PC Engine Duo-R tonight on ebay for $99 plus $30 shipping :)

The system has the card door cover, the system wont read cd games but that can be easy to fix. Will need to get power cable and controller but I'm going to be happy once I get this region modded and RGB av modded on it.

The home button doesn't always work. That's on me, though. When I changed the battery (the replacement just won't fit all that comfortably seeing as that new battery is a little longer and thicker) I reckon I must have inadvertently caused some issue in there.

No biggie, though. In any case, the unit has touch-screen capabilities, so in most instances I'm able to exit to "home" via that touch-screen.

Anime Laserdiscs and BubbleGum Crisis &quot;cels&quot; by xelement5x, on Flickr

Normally I don't post ebay pickups but these were neat enough and I was excited to get them.  Prices were pretty good too from the seller considering how obscure anime LDs are. 

Phantom Quest Corps Volumes 1 & 2
U-Jin Brand  :O
Rupan (Lupin) III Movies
-The Fuma Conspiracy
-Legend of the Gold of Babylon

Plus two "anime cels" from BubbleGum Crisis. They are numbered, limited edition prints called Chroma Cels by Ani-Magine.  Supposedly these are high-quality reproductions of original animation cels created with an exclusive printing technology.  They look neat enough at least for what I paid.

I remember playing with one a few times at a store downtown and fell in love with the design and feel of it. Being a broke college student at the time kept that love under lock and key though.

I have the Japanese version of Guardian Heroes since release, but I kinda wish I had picked up the English translated one.  If I recall I got a pretty good deal on the import.  Recently I decided to buy the Xbox 360 version for $5, so at least I have that one in English.  I also picked up Radiant Silvergun there too, which I own the Saturn version of, but I think the 360 release is the only translated version of that to exist.  That's pretty cool, so I went for it.  I also made the same mistake with Symphony of the Night, I bought the import so I could play it right away, but didn't follow up and get the US release when it came out.  I'm sure it's not too cheap these days.

Metal Wolf Chaos is pretty cool, I played it a little some years ago but never thought about picking it up.  Never did buy any original Xbox games, I have one - I think the only game I bought was Mech Assault so I could put xbmc on it.  Kinda regret not picking up Shenmue 2 for it though.  I do have Sneak King, which I believe also works on the original Xbox for some reason...

Anyway, nice pick ups!  I love living vicariously through others.

Is it worth it to get one of these vs. some new fangled JXD device?  I have always followed these things, the GP2X Wiz, the Canoo, Pandora, GCW Zero etc.. but never got any of them.  I'd like to one day when the perfect device comes out.  The 3DS and Vita might be an option now too.

It was released against the GP32. It's a palm pilot-based handheld. It's more powerful than a GP32, but less than a GP2X.

I think that the Vita has recently been fully opened up for homebrew and not just by exploiting the PSP side. I don't have one myself so I haven't looked into it in detail.

Me neither.  I know the "new" 3DS is capable of running some homebrew now, but the screen never looked quite as good at the Vita's..  I might have to check it out though.

It was one of those consoles I always wanted when I saw it announced back when I was in college. In all honesty, I already have a modded one so I'm passing the console on to a buddy of mine for dirt cheap. I really just wanted the box and packaging, along with the complete game boy player.

Don't get me wrong, I loved the system, I just played with one for months on end when I was working on a GC project.  I wasn't implying burnout, just that I had access to a GC all the time, but now that I'm typing it I realize how stupid I sound.  I was deeply invested in PS2, which we were also working with all the time, difference was I could play GOOD PS2 games at home rather the garbage we worked on at work.  Anyhoo, gotta get a GC (and GB player also!) before they become the next big collectard target!

Game Boy Player is already a bit pricy, my advice if you want to save some cash is to find the hardware cheap and then drop a $5 XenoGC in the unit and use a CDR to boot up instead.

That said, I decided against purchasing this elusive figurine.

I almost bought an 8 bit Mario amiibo today.
Target actually had one in stock.  However, upon closer inspection of the figure enclosed in the packaging, I could see some marking and staining on some of the plastic. 

That said, I decided against purchasing this elusive figurine.

^^Dungeon Explorer Sega CD has some pretty stellar music, but damn is it frustrating! Instead of an organic dungeon design Hudson opted for a more maze-like layout with warps spread out everywhere to make matters even more confusing. It's a real shame since I love its sound design which uses FM synth to mimic Atari's Gauntlet.

Those Duke pads were missing the end part controller connector. That's usually par for the course (at least in my experience) with oXbox controllers found at garage sales/flea markets, etc.
I can't understand how folks just lose those things. Fortunately, I have a few spares.

And these oXbox AV cables I got for free. The guy was putting them in a refuse bag, ready to throw them out.

Some new Pickups.  So happy to get a Disc system, enjoying the extra sound hardware and music from Castlevania on the Disc version.  Now to get a Mr. Gimik! even if a repro.

I have been going to the local game store recently and trading in a lot of low value stuff I don't want to bother with selling recently, and they just got enough good Dreamcast stuff in that I decided to cash out some of that store credit.  So I picked up:

2015-10-13 Local Game Store Pickups by xelement5x, on Flickr

Resident Evil 2 [DC]
Bomberman Online [DC]
Dynamite Cop [DC] (loose disc)
Risky Woods [GEN]


Their prices are kind of high (a bit above ebay) but they also do buy three get the 4th free so that is a nice perk if you can time your purchases right.  I've already got a case for Dynamite Cop so picking up the loose disc was a nice way to get a complete copy cheap compared to ebay.

I hear ya there.  I may complain about retro gaming being completely ridiculous now in terms of prices, however Neo Geo is the one exception to that rule as the games were always pricey.  I actually just got some really good buys from a few kind folks on the Neo-Geo forums.  I managed to get The Last Blade, Last Blade 2, Kabuki Klash, Puzzle De Pon, Blazing Star, Pulstar, Spin Master, and Top Hunter.  I'm now negotiating for Garou: Mark of the Wolves.  Needless to say, this was quite an investment, but I've been on the hunt for some of these for a damn long time now.  I also got my Crossed Swords II conversion from Razoola, which was fantastic! 

As you can see, Neo and TG are my two favs for retro outside my love affair with the Saturn.  It just sucks that Turbo games are nearly at Neo levels now, which really limits the games I can afford.

Darxide was actually never released in the US, just Euro land.  And it is region locked to PAL 32X/Genesis units so even buying a copy is pretty useless here unless you import the required hardware as well or modify some units.

I've been kinda interested in picking this up, but I never played the first couple of games in the series. Do you think this is something you can jump into with no prior knowledge, or would it be better to catch up on the original games first?

Hard to say. I have yet to play this one but I LOVED the sprit 2D game. I got them bundled on the vita (sadly digital download only) lasted year.

One is a light novel which I wasn't interested in the other a 2D sprit version.

This newest one I think is the same game but now in 3D?


I could be mistaken.

Also watch the 4 part OVA on this game. It's great but only subbed no dub.

Cool thanks, I'll have to check those out! It's a shame the first two games are digital-only, though... I'm old fashioned, and stuff just isn't stuff to me if I can't properly fondle it. :wink:

Got me some Famicom Games from Video Game Connection in Cleveland Ohio.  It's in the middle of a shit hole and the building is also a shit hole but the amount of stuff for sale is huge in quantity and quality.  Boxed Atari Jag and Jag CD, a TON of Japanese stuff, pretty much everything from Odesy to now.  Very impressive.

That's Mike's shop! The owner is one of the guys who helps put on CCAG.

Nice guy. He sold me my us system 3.0 card (for $50, down from $65. But that was a decade ago).
And he dropped the price right away when he found out a few of the games he had were bootlegs.
(iir, Ys was $20 on a cdr with inkjet label. He dropped it to $2 when he found out it was a bootleg)

Many good times talking to him about games when I was younger :)

(btw, looks like he cleaned house. He used to have a whole wall of 2600 games. Did you ask him if he had anything in the basement? :)

It was some young kid working there, so no basically all I had him do was look up and price my Famicom Games, basically $3 a game and $30 for the 400-1 Multicart.  No idea there was a basement.

I then visited Destiny Games in Canton Michigan.

http://www.destiny-games.com/

Great shop, has a little of everything from the 2600 on.  Great selection of CDi, 3DO, Sega Imports, Lynx stuff, and a lot of 5200 stuff; really impressive.  The stuff is a LITTLE expensive but not too bad.  Strangely they had two U.S. Neo Geo AES Games for WAY WAY Under eBay prices so I snatched them up right quick.  They threw in the Sega Genesis Game for free.

I got some common stuff from Game Headz in Detroit Michigan.  My god what a shit hole.  The whole shop smelled of weed and cigars and the shop looked like it was in the middle of a war zone with burnt out houses and crumbling industry.  The cashier was in a security booth and spoke to me through a small hole.  There were dudes just hanging out in the store trying to sell me "Substances" and I had to as politely as possible say no and get the f*ck outa dodge.

Games were cheap as shit, and I got loaded for free because the Cashier had no idea how to price it properly.  Great store to get some classic stuff but my god is it in the most dangerous part of the city.

The office I work at is getting ready to have a bunch of old computer hardware picked up by recyclers and I managed to grab these 2 monitors:
(http://risemedia.org/risemedia/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/2015-10-20-14.59.09-600x338.jpg)

They are NEC Multisync 1980sxi's. Old and heavy, but I thought it was cool that they have the NEC logo on them. Another cool feature is they swivel on their stand so they can be landscape or portrait mode.  Now I need to get some Dreamcast shooters with tate mode. :)

2015-10-20 Playstation Vita Bundle! by xelement5x, on Flickr

Original OLED Playstation Vita with Box/Manuals/Cables
Persona 4 Golden
Metal Gear Solid HD Collection
Fifa Soccer 13

So I got this bad boy off Craigslist!  I had actually seen this earlier a couple weeks ago and talked to the seller about it but didn't have the cash free to buy it.  I told them I was interested but it would take me a bit to get the funds together and the seller was super laid back about it. 

Flash forward to yesterday when I am able to successfully meet up with another guy to sell him a CPAP machine that I paid $13 for at the local thrift store.  The amount I made selling the machine was just what I needed to pick up the Vita bundle after the guy dropped the price a bit, so I drove right up the road after selling the CPAP and handed the cash over to get this very nice Playstation Vita bundle.

It's an original model Vita with an OLED screen, and is the Wifi+3G version that was originally released.  The seller had the original box and all the inserts/manuals as well, plus the Vita came with a Persona 4 screen protector on it and a nice clear shell to protect it.  Add on top of that I got THREE games as well and I feel pretty good about what I turned my $13 thrift store buy into.

Just grabbed a Duo-R, yesterday bought a Arcade Duo card and now a region mod Obey chip and RGB chip ordered from Turbokon... who I havn't seen on the forums lately....

I may flip my US Duo soon depending how things work out, or vice versa. I love the black but who knows, maybe the white will be nice. Either way if everything works out like I said I may flip it... Or one of my brothers will get it for Xmas with a lot of burned games. >.<

Those early Disney clamshell case were built like a tank and the cover art were better than later releases.  $1 from Goodwill.  :mrgreen: No idea if the tape still works, I haven't had a working VCR in about 5 years.

The Black Hole is still the only movie on my original Blu-Ray Disc top 10 wanted list that still hasn't seen a BD release yet.  Current rumor is it will be released with the new Black Hole movie.

Lol punch that is awesome. Sometimes I wish I had that 12k - 20k I could just blow on anything and grab that US Duo on eBay and rip it open with pics for everyone. Then recap it ....

Then for fund I would.post it back on eBay for a couple thousand more saying..... better than brand new in the box. It actually works....

I visited this place called "People Play Games" In Chicago, and my god they had everything.   So many rare copies from pretty much every system.   Spider Man Web of Fire 32X in the box, $1,000.00.  Everything they had was just overpriced, extremely overpriced, I mean double eBay pricing.  IDK how they stay in business but they had boxed, unopened NES games by the Dozen and unopened Final Fantasy SNES games and so on.

I rummaged around and got some cheap knick knacks.

Another good day.  Today I visited Mega Replay in Bloomington IL, a subsidiary of Disc Replay which is a chain of about 30 stores in the Mid West which deals with DVD's, Video Games, and Electronics  GREAT prices, below eBay for sure and every game posted below was $3 or cheaper each.  Highly recommend.

I used to go to that store a ton and bought a whole boatload of crap over the years. I definitely agree though that the rare stuff there can be on the ridiculous side price-wise. The owner and his dad are nice, though I have friends who have commented on the owner acting rude at times (that's never been my experience though). Outside of the rare stuff behind glass, you can usually find some stuff at decent prices.

Recently got back from my trip to Japan, where i got engaged. That was probably the best moment of the trip, but here are a bunch of smaller good moments i came across and picked up.

First up is the big purchase. A Vega Jr. controlbox (supergun) I've been wanting to dabble in arcade games for awhile now. I took my first step awhile back with my Neo Geo big red, and like many have said it sure is a slippery slope.

This thing is a beast and I love it. Got seimitsu buttons and LS30 semitsu sticks. They all feel great, and the build quality is top notch.

Couldn't get the awesome supergun without getting at least one game to play. So i picked up one that i have enjoyed playing casually (will really learn the game now) Great Mahou Daisakusen.....DIMAHOO!!!

Picked up a CPS2A board as well (cracked plastic in shipping, still works fine) it came with the marquee as well and arcade instructions

Now i didn't forget about my obey. I didn't pick up a lot this time, but i got some quality titles
(http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g71/ninja_velmor/20151028_150419_zps9xz76zdt.jpg) (http://s53.photobucket.com/user/ninja_velmor/media/20151028_150419_zps9xz76zdt.jpg.html)

Now i've always wanted one of these just because its a neat piece, and I found one for a good price so decided to pick it up
(http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g71/ninja_velmor/20151028_151311_zpsemgtjy0c.jpg) (http://s53.photobucket.com/user/ninja_velmor/media/20151028_151311_zpsemgtjy0c.jpg.html)

Got some more modern things as well.

The main thing i wanted to get on this trip were some sticks for some of my older consoles. I was able to do that for the Saturn,SNES,and PCE.

The only figure i got this time. Couldn't pass up on some YuYu Hakusho stuff,

Didn't realize all of the little pickups I've made recently until I decided to put a pic together :s

Been buried in school work, only have played Nemesis out of this pile for a little bit. Although most of these aren't exactly quick plays...

Got all these today from Indianapolis IN at various chains like "Disc Replay" and "The Exchange" which is an amazing chain that has damn near everything Video Games, Music (So many Box sets and limited sets), and Movies.

Today was a good day in terms of random finds as I visited Game World in Bloomington Indiana not expecting too much except the $25 Mario 3 Cart.  Nice little chain that sells classic games to brand new games and GREAT staff, true game fans and they even mentioned Game Sack.  They had some Neo Geo Games that have been sitting since 2012 and gave me a smoking deal on both of them and threw in the boxed NES games for free.  I love finding Neo in the wild and paying less then half what eBay charges, deals can be found for sure.  They had some Turbo stuff but VERY Expensive.  Bonk's Adventure was $44, Tiger Road was $55.  Nes games were a lil pricey but they had the rarer ones.

Got my copy of Breach & Clear by LimitedRunGames for the Playstation Vita.  Came with the game itself, a postcard, sticker, and promo leaflet.  Hopefully this is the first of a long run of physical titles that they continue to produce.

I got the vega jr. and dimahoo from a store called beep. I got the PCE shuttle and the PCE and splatterhouse SD from mandrake. I got kid Dracula from super potato. Super potato still has a good amount of stuff. Its just really pricey there.

I haven't been very active lately because I've bought some cabs over the last few months.

Over the Summer I saw a 1 slot Neo cab that needed some tlc. I still plan on tinkering with it.
(http://i730.photobucket.com/albums/ww310/retrogamecollectorjim/More Stuff/20150906_213302.jpg)

I made a new control panel for it and got a new bezel (still need a glass bezel).

The last time I was visiting relatives in England (84) I played Mystic Marathon and found one a couple months ago.

(http://i730.photobucket.com/albums/ww310/retrogamecollectorjim/More Stuff/20150918_191020.jpg)

Then I saw a CL ad and picked up these.

(http://i730.photobucket.com/albums/ww310/retrogamecollectorjim/More Stuff/20151002_175500.jpg)

I've made the Capcom cab a 6 button a player and put a cps2 multi kit in it. Changed it from mono to stereo.

The Dynamo cab has needed a lot of work and I'm still working on it. The flyback on the chasis needed to be replaced, I'm replacing the power supply, control panel, controllers, buttons and adding stereo. I plan on using it for vertical games.

The Sega Titan needed to be taken apart to get in the house :lol: I have a ST-V multi kit in it. It has dual mono but I'm changing it to stereo.

I've got Mystic Marathon and the Titan upstairs while the rest are in the basement.

Bits and pieces are arriving daily. It's been a lot of fun tinkering with them...annoying too :wink:

Dang man, you've entered the world of cabs head first!  Some very cool stuff there, I really want to pick up a CPS2 Multi myself as I've heard they are just a phenomenal way to play so much stuff easily. 

That Mystic Marathon cab looks pretty trippy though, I love the art on the control panel.  If I was a kid I'd be buggin' Mom for quarters just because of that. 
Title: Re: teh "what did you buy today"-thread
Post by: synbiosfan on November 03, 2015, 10:11:21 AM
The cps2 multi is totally worth it.

Head first is right, I was nervous about everything with the Neo. It quickly changed to excitement.

I need to dig out my Splatterhouse pcb.

My Pandora's box 4 & 19-1 arrived today. I plan on playing some Robotron very soon!

Comics from the thrift by xelement5x, on Flickr

I randomly went by the thrift last night and found four bags full of comics marked at $5 each.  In total I got about 65 comics from the whole thing so I paid about the original cover price of each in the 35c range.  Most look like they're from the late 70s or so, a real random assortment.  Some are missing covers but in general they're all in pretty good condition, a combination of DC and Marvel but mainly DC stuff.

I showed this picture to my boss who is a comic guy, he thought I did pretty well but given the collection he guessed it was some casual reader of the time.  Will probably sort through them and look for any gold or hand them to my brother in law who is also a comics collector.  I had a heartily laugh at the single issue of Howard the Duck though, apparently that one didn't warrant future purchases.

Holy crap, I haven't thought about Mystic Marathon in YEARS! :D

I loved that game as a kid, but somehow I completely forgot about it. It's like it just disappeared from my memory or something. Thanks for posting the pic!

I would imagine that a dedicated cabinet version is fairly rare? I only ever saw it in one location back in the day.

I've heard bad things about all three. :lol:

I can definitely see it being a bear to do simple fixes compared to other cabs.

Right now the Dynamo is the one I hate.

On KLOV they say there were only 5 dedicated cabinets made, mainly for trade shows, expos, etc. Three of those were converted to whatever Williams made next, one was destroyed in a fire and the other is owned by someone.

I just liked it and always wanted one after playing it. I like Bubbles and think MM is more fun, I'm in the minority. It didn't do very well in general so most who bought the kit converted it back or to another game. It's not very common so collectards want it :cry:

I kept hoping it would show up on one of the multiboards but it hasn't yet.

I haven't spent too much time with either.

The 19-1 has DEFENDER, STARGATE, BUBBLES, JOUST, ROBOTRON, BLASTER, SPLAT, RALLY X, BATTLE CITY, MARIO BROS, NEW RALLY X, GHOST' n GOBLINS, SOLOMON's KEY, GRADIUS, SKY KID, ICE CLIMBER, SUPER MARIO BROS, DO! RUN RUN, KICK RIDER

I have played Robotron, Joust & Ghosts n Goblins briefly.

That's a shame. It's definitely a better game than Bubbles... I can see why it's not for everyone, though.

Found some good stuff in Hickory North Carolina at a shop called Red Fox Gaming.  They appear to be a brand new store with a lot of rarer titles and even turbo stuff.  They had a boxed Air Zonk and Bomber man as well as MANY Neo Geo AES titles as well as MVS.  I only got the one game as I had the rest of their titles and the boxed Pro Stick was nice as well.

You're in NC?  If you're in the Charlotte area, check out Save Point and The Grid.  Haven't been to the latter in awhile, not sure what kind of stuff they've got now.  You could also venture over to Huntersville & check out Video Game World, they have just a ton of stuff.

Ewwww, software seconds.  Hope you like overpriced re-shrinkwrapped Genesis sports games & street fighter II
Haha!  Man I started shopping at Software Second around 95 since I lived in Columbia at the time.  They basically started out from buying all the closeout stock from "Power Up".  The main owner at the time (Mike) was awesome and nice.  They had amazing prices and I got most of my Saturn import and domestic collection from them.  Really most of the 32-bit and DC era imports are from that store.  Now mustache man runs it.  For the past 10 years it has been a shit store.  Sad. 

BTW Evo do you just travel around and look for games?  Are you starting a youtube channel?

Naw been traveling a lot for work so I have been taking advantage.  Sunday I'll be in Atlanta so I'll check out that scene.  Maybe I'll post up my finds and certainly review some rarer items.  I have been on a Neo Geo onslaught lately and cannot believe how inexpensive the games have been on this trip.

Found some good stuff in Hickory North Carolina at a shop called Red Fox Gaming.  They appear to be a brand new store with a lot of rarer titles and even turbo stuff.  They had a boxed Air Zonk and Bomber man as well as MANY Neo Geo AES titles as well as MVS.  I only got the one game as I had the rest of their titles and the boxed Pro Stick was nice as well.

Hah, I just bought that District B13 at the dollar store today! Of course I've seen it already, twice, but at $1 to own it on a nice new DVD, I said what the hell. It has a 'Making Of' special, outtakes and an extended fight scene, so why not.

Yes it works perfectly  8) - the only thing that has a problem is the force feedback (could be the drive board / the force feedback motor / the wiring => I have to check what is causing the fault).

I have it completely disassambled already  :dance:. Off to clean the thing  :P.

Ooo nice, I've not seen a Scud Race cabinet in over a decade.

The force feedback issue, would those cabinets use belts by any chance? Maximum Tune cabs  (earlier ones at least) use a belt where the teeth get stripped from people ragging on the wheel.

"Vintage" CAVE Ashtray for my Neo Candy Cab by xelement5x, on Flickr

Just got this very cool ashtray in from the ever awesome voltronbadass on the NeoGeo forums.

I am not a smoker (Well, not regularly.  I do have the occasional cigar obviously.) But I had to grab one of these when I saw volty made more of them.  It's mainly going to be used to hold the keys for my cab but looks pretty smexy.  Very nice quality on them and the logo is even silkscreened on and not just like a sticker or something.

Simple pickups from 2nd and Charles and R U Game in Gainsville Florida.  Cheap Prices, great selection for sure.  I've been on a Gameboy kick lately, no idea why, but it's a great system for sure.

Man, I wanna collect GB again.  I basically had it in tandem with my TG-16 as my main source of gaming.  I used to own the original brick GB when it was new, and later I got a GB Color but sold that a couple years back mainly because I wanted something with a backlit screen (The LCD was nice on the color but the lack of light gives me no regrets in letting it go.)

What I really want is a GBA SP AGS 101, but net prices are insane.  That's the last Game Boy model that will play original GB games which is pretty much what I'm interested in collecting.

Anyone know of any place to look to find a decently priced one in a good shape?  There's a lot of confusion as some sellers online are not differentiating between the 001 and the 101 (front lit vs. back lit), cases are swapped for aftermarket cases, and in many cases the screen and case are in poor shape and sellers expect a mint for it.

Seriously, if anyone knows of any for sale, lemme know - I would love to get it and an Everdrive GB to keep me busy while I picked up some more real carts.. I have a few in fact left over from my GB Color days - Zelda, Shadowgate, and Hexcite - as well as a smattering of carts I picked up from a work friend.  Lock N' Chase, some Pokemon titles (I am willing to trade these as I am not a fan), Gradius Interstellar Assault, and some others...

Here's my meager collection of GB/GBA stuff and with some NGP and WS thrown in because I keep it in the same box.  I have original boxes for many of these but they are all in storage.

I need an SP as well but I must say that the Game boy color I just picked up has an amazing screen, it looks so good and clear.  I'm having a blast on it for sure.
Title: Re: teh "what did you buy today"-thread
Post by: johnnykonami on November 13, 2015, 04:53:40 PM
Mine was brand new from being purchased when it came out, and I kept it in good condition too.  I just couldn't deal with the lack of a back light.  Glad you are enjoying it though!  I got a lot more use out of the DS Lite I got years later, for GBA games only though... wish it played original GB carts because then I wouldn't be driving myself nuts over getting a SP!

Post by: xelement5x on November 14, 2015, 03:20:28 AM
If you're looking for one of those later models with the better screen they only came in specific colors in the US, so I would learn the colors then keep an eye out on Craigslist or ebay auctions, maybe local store too and try and get one from someone who doesn't realize the difference.  I got my CIB 101 in a bundle from a lady on the rich side of town whos kids didn't use it anymore.

Yeah, this is my plan at some point if I can't get an original, but what worries me is the screen.  I won't be happy if I get dust specs under the screen, you should have seen me trying to put a screen protector on my phone.  Wanted to avoid that whole scenario if possible.

evo and johnnykonami: you guys need Cosmo Tank.  :mrgreen:

That game has always fascinated me since I saw it a magazine years ago, can't remember if it was Nintendo Power or Game Pro.  Like I mentioned in the Genpei Toumaden thread, I love games that switch between different modes of play, so it's certainly on my watch for list!

Still wrestling with Ebay to find a GBA SP that doesn't look too bad and is still backlit.  I might try to find a beater and swap out the case, they still run like 40 some bucks, I was hoping for something way cheaper for a console that is beat to hell and back.  The other route is to get a backlit modded orginal GBA, I've owned one in the past and the grip is gonna be more comfortable for sure, I just need that backlight.  Not sure how to figure out who does that best work/is most reputable yet.

Games I am looking to get off the top of my head are: Tail Gator, Revenge of the Gator Pinball (I have no specific interest in alligators, just coincidental!), Kirby Pinball Land, Game & Watch Galleries, Tetris DX, Mercenary Force, Mario Golf, Wario Lands, Gargoyle's Quest, Catrap, Castlevania II, Pokemon Pinball (more for the pinball than the pokemon), Survival Kids, maybe Resident Evil Gaiden since I'm a huge RE nut - even though it seemed not so great when I played it.

I just picked up Mole Mania and Motocross Maniacs 2, I'll post pictures when I get them!  I also wanna rebuy Motocross Maniacs 1 but I played a ton of a it so no hurry.  Motocross Maniacs Advance is also on my list one day.

Yeah!  I want to play these more seriously one day, Pinball Dreams/Fantasies - I forget the 3rd title.  I don't know what the definitive version is though, it's on so many platforms.  I have a feeling most would say the Amiga, which I don't have one of.  There is a version on GOG.com which is some permuation of these tables, too.  So many great video pinball games out there, I wish I had realized how much I liked it in my younger years beyond Alien Crush!

I've had mixed luck.  I always go into expecting the worst really, and when I get it I am normally pleasantly surprised.  I bought a carboard box Genesis game like a month ago and it was actually packed quite well!

I'd say it's been 80% positive on Amazon.

But I've run into wrong items, or "new" DVDs where they were missing the inserts and clearly shrinkwrapped using a hairdryer and saran wrap.

Nice!  I really need to crack into my copy of Power Golf 2.  Picked up Revenge of the Gator for GB last night (well, got it for cheap off Amazon.  Here's hoping it's in good condition, they said it had the protective shell and manual, so that's a good sign I think.  for ~$5, to start off my GB pinball collection).

Elemental Master and Sigma Star Saga! by xelement5x, on Flickr

Got a couple new titles, one of which I'd wanted for a VERY long time... Elemental Master!  Prices kept going up on it and a decent deal for a CIB copy popped up so I decided to jump on it before it got worse (as seems to be the case with all shooters anymore). 

As well I picked up Sigma Star Saga CIB in nice shape.  This one has always had an interesting concept to me and the price is pretty reasonable still so I felt compelled to grab it.  It's also developed by WayForward (of Shantae fame) and they have always made pretty decent games in my opinion.

Blackthorne on the SNES AND 32x?  You RAWK! 

And you pretty much nailed it.  Other than Kolibri and Knuckles Chaotix (overpriced, overrated) you named most of the good ones. :/ Still an awesome system to have though! 

Stellar Assault is also fun if you like such games.  Star Wars arcade is difficult as balls, but affordable & therefore worth owning.  I'll update this post if I think of anymore.

depends on your tastes in games. I own 2 different models of the cdi players, and like 11 games. I burned a few games to try out and see if I wanted to invest any more money into the systems and I can say if you do not have the digital video addon card in the system you will not be able to play what seems like 80% of the library. All the zelda based games are horrible to play (bought 2 of them). The best game on the system so far for me is hotel mario and even that is a test of your patience.

I heard The Sorcerer's Apprentice is pretty good. This is just hearsay as I don't own a CD-i. Now if you want to talk 3DO then that's a different story.

Sorcerer's Apprentice so far is the only game on the system I have completed, but expect to spend a few hours getting annoyed by all the memory match type puzzles.

3DO is one of my all time favorite systems, yes has a fair share of crap titles but also has some gems like twistid the game show, psychic detective, brain dead 13, captain quazar, etc

I think the CDI could make for a fun night with some friends, y'know, to laugh over the terrible games.  The only experience I have with it though really is playing it for a couple minutes back when it was in stores, that Zelda game was on demo.  Many of the others I've just watched a youtube vid on.  If there are any good games for it, I don't know what they are!

As for the 3DO, I actually picked up years back so I could get the 3DO version of Policenauts and Policenauts Pilot Disc.  I don't really have anything else for it but I think there's some potential in the library if you like that era of early CD-Rom/FMV laden PC titles.  I do, personally, just never really picked any up (yet).  I think I also remember it being known for one of the best Street Fighter conversions at the time, too, but don't quote me on that.  i can't even say which one for sure - II Turbo I think?  When they added Cammy.

Super Street Fighter II Turbo was a great port on the 3do, was the first time I ever got to play as or against akuma. But with the stock controller the combos can be hard to do. They had a 6 button controller for it but I never had it back in the day. All the controllers I have are the standard panasonic ones, and a logitech controller that looks like a batarang but never works. It came with the 3do dev kit I bought years ago.

One of the greatest games ever made, Star Control 2, received its only console port to the 3DO. It's worth getting the system for.

Picked up a Samsung N501 DVD player yesterday for $12... Otherwise known as the Nuon.  Did not expect it to work,  but it does.  May just use it as a single disc CD player hooked up to a TV for the cool VLM2.  Attempted to play a little Tempest 3000 with the remote and failed miserably since you can't move and shoot and the same time..

Had one when they were still being produced and got rid of it...

Odd thing is - I didn't think these were sold in Canada.. I bought my first one on a trip to Las Vegas in 2001.

Oh nice, thanks!  I would figure the game would benefit from mouse control, but I will take you word on the 3DO version being awesome.

All the controllers I have are the standard panasonic ones, and a logitech controller that looks like a batarang but never works. It came with the 3do dev kit I bought years ago.


The guy I knew had the six button pads and was a major fighting game nut.  The one I have I think might be a 3 button pad?  I forget.  It has that serial port coming out of the top to daisy chain more controllers.  I believe it's the stock one.

So my GBA SP arrived today, couldn't be happier with the condition.  As you know, there are tons of these for sale, but most are in horrendous condition with scratches and scuffs and everything.  The AGS 101 version is the most sought after, and that came in 3 colors basically (besides a spongebob and I think a pikachu themed one that I didn't want) and they are baby pink (pearl pink), baby blue and graphite - which is the manliest color and the most popular one by far.  There's also a bunch of refurbs out there - chinese backlight kits / screens put into 001 models, and case/housing swaps to make the system look brand new.  I am pretty sure mine is authentic, all the stickers look real and there is the slightest amount of very superficial wear.  It just belonged to a person who kept it in a case (came with it) and maybe didn't play it a ton.  I tried out Mole Mania and Motocross Maniacs 2 and both batteries seem to work, also tried out Circle of the Moon to test a GBA game.  Everything works and the screen is nice!  My MM2 was listed as "very good" but you can see part of the label is actually worn - no biggie since it was $5 including shipping.  I might look for a better one in the future but I'm not too bothered by it.

Man!  Now I need to get a TurboExpress... might have to keep an eye out.   I think I'd probably like one with a newer screen modded in for brightness/battery life improvement.  I was looking at them again, and that bezel is so huge!  No doubt because the screen size had been decided due to cost.

Picked up a Samsung N501 DVD player yesterday for $12... Otherwise known as the Nuon.  Did not expect it to work,  but it does.  May just use it as a single disc CD player hooked up to a TV for the cool VLM2.  Attempted to play a little Tempest 3000 with the remote and failed miserably since you can't move and shoot and the same time..

Had one when they were still being produced and got rid of it...

Odd thing is - I didn't think these were sold in Canada.. I bought my first one on a trip to Las Vegas in 2001.

very nice pickup! I have been after a nuon player for a while but never find them locally. The did release 4 dvd movies that are nuon compatible with extra features. (Bedazzled, The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai, Dr. Dolittle 2, and Planet of the Apes (mark walberg version). I was also reading about a year ago or so that someone found a way to mod the controller for better response from it.

One of the greatest games ever made, Star Control 2, received its only console port to the 3DO. It's worth getting the system for.

Seconded! Star Control 2 is absolutely worth picking up a 3DO for... one of my all-time favorite games on any system. :clap:

I always wanted to play the Star Control games, thanks for the tip!  I'll look it up.  I wonder if they'll ever show up on Steam...

The PC version is freeware. Just google The Ur-Quan Masters. Don't get the retail PC release as it's not nearly as polished. The 3DO version is still king though IMO.

Oh nice, thanks!  I would figure the game would benefit from mouse control, but I will take you word on the 3DO version being awesome.

Motocross Maniacs was one of my top 5 favorite GB games growing up. I never played 2, and got the Advanced version when it came out and hated it. How do you compare this game to the original? Worth picking up? I've been playing more and more portable games as I get more and more busy during the holiday season. I also agree that a turbo express would be a dream acquisition, I'd love one.

I received a broken model 1 Sega CD yesterday. Fuse is bad but sonis the transistor and the drive belt. Gears seem OK!
The faceplate is pretty wrecked though :(

If you or anyone you know repairs these, let me know as I've got one disassembled somewhere in the depths of my closet

It's my first attempt at a model 1. Replacing caps and fuses is easy though time consuming...I am not sure what I would do if the mechanical bits were busted...

Yeah, me too.  I think Motocross Maniacs 1 was my favorite game on my original GB for sure.  Not even a sports guy or a motorcycle guy, it's just a great game.  The second one is almost a carbon copy gameplay wise, the graphics are the same scale, but you get color obviously, but that comes with more background details so the courses feel like they are in different settings.  I like the second course for instance since it's made to look like a night time sports event with all kinds of flashing lights in the background.  If you love classic Konami music like I do, it's all new stuff with some remixed versions of songs from the first game.  Overall it's more of the same of the first game with some nice additions.  Totally worth picking up and cheap because people ignore "sports" games on the whole, I think.  I have played the GBA one also and I think I remember being disappointed in it too, but I might still get it one day to complete the set.

Well, I don't have the items yet, but I did buy them and they are in transit.

I have a Super CD-Rom 2 system on it's way. And I think I may need to start teaching myself some Japanese as I really enjoy RPG's. So I bought myself the entire Cosmic Fantasy collection 1, 3, 4 ch1 and ch2. I have the US version already so...

I then bought Xanadu 1 and 2 because I always hear good things about it and the translation project for it will allow me to understand what is happening in this game at some point.

I then grabbed an original Ys 4 as all the patches I try to do never work for the translated work. So hopefully an original disc will help in this regard.

Then... I bought Wizardry 1 - 5 ... Yep, more RPG's.

Last but not least, and this is the collectard showing. I grabbed all 5 SuperGrafx games. Mostly just to have them but the 1941 and Ghouls and Ghosts I am sure will get plenty of play time.

All of this is pretty much my Xmas present + the repro's from Bernie. The damage to the wallet has been done.

Next stop.... Prolly try and get myself as many Arcade card games as I can so I can experience that end of the spectrum.

I picked up a copy of It Came From the Desert. What a weird game. I think the acting is pretty good, and quite humorous. It may not seem as weird and over the top to me because I actually live in the South.

If anyone doubts the legitimacy of the acting, visit Pelion or Red Bank SC. You will be convinced that the actors deserve Emmy awards lol.

Overall though, the game is a disjointed mess, and lacks flow and direction.

Thanks!  It meets two criteria for me, one, it's a video pinball game which I love (and one I wanted as a kid and never got around to), and two, it's one of the original grey GB carts before the GB shovelware started getting, well.. shoveled in.  Just stands in my head as a GB classic, and it's a good game to boot!  Hal Labs with yet another great title.  I beat the default high score last night, I'm sure it's not an accomplishment - but I am curious to see if it has a battery backup to save scores.  I'm guessing no.

This is one of the games I stupidly sold as a kid and need to re-acquire.  I think it was just coming off the FMV is brand new (at least on consoles) hype train, and I bought into it hook, line and sinker.  While the color depth looked pretty bad even at the time to me (or the usage of it in that particular video compression scheme I should probably say), I thought it was really cool anyway.  The actual action segments were pretty terrible (and difficult, if I remember, too) but overall I enjoyed the kitsch of the whole thing.  Definitely gonna pick up another one on the cheap one day.

I think that game was probably a major hit with most Game Boy owners back in the day, bigger than I thought.  I don't even know how I got mine, probably recommend to my parents and given to me on some present giving occasion - because I certainly didn't care about sports (extreme or otherwise) or dirtbikes, or any of that stuff.  Loved it though.  One of the best OG GB games for sure.

Actually the FAQ is a bit confusing. The PSIO plug at the back of the parallel port, but it seems that it require also an hardware mod for the console to boot from the parallel port.

You have this question in the FAQ :
Quote
Are there any modifications required for PSIO to work?
Yes. An internal modification is required. The modification is a small printed circuit board (PCB) with a logic gate array based integrated circuit (IC) that detects whether a PSIO cartridge is plugged in or not.


This seems to be simple - it says that you need the hardware mod.

But you also have this one :
Quote
Can I boot my original PlayStation format CD-ROM's like normal when PSIO is plugged in?
Yes, so long as the Switch Board has been installed (see below), there is an option in the Menu System to boot from the CD-ROM drive directly.
Otherwise, you may unplug PSIO to return your PlayStation back to regular operation.


So this question seems to suggest that the PSIO would boot even without the mod.

Checked out Time Warp Media today and picked these up.  Not really any Turbo, but I did see a Jack Nicklaus Hu there if anyone is interested.  I like golf myself but it seems like kind of a stinker to me, so I didn't really look for a price or ask.

I am VERY happy about Kirby's Pinball Land, pretty perfect condition sticker and case $2.99. (It was one of my top wants for the OG GB.)

F-1 Race is in good shape too, $1.99.  Game & Watch Gallery 4 is only in fair shape, sticker is a little beat, but I bought it to play for only $0.99 cents.

Today was a Mega Craigslist find for me.  Some guy in North Jersey posted a bunch a stuff under Atari and I figured it would be the same old 2600 collection for $100 or so.  Not this time, a RIDICULOUS Atari Jaguar Collection, many games still brand new, with a Jag and Jag CD.  Could not believe it so I pounced on it.

I paid a couple of Hundred for the Jag stuff, a steal and really is in excellent condition.

Today was a Mega Craigslist find for me.  Some guy in North Jersey posted a bunch a stuff under Atari and I figured it would be the same old 2600 collection for $100 or so.  Not this time, a RIDICULOUS Atari Jaguar Collection, many games still brand new, with a Jag and Jag CD.  Could not believe it so I pounced on it.

I paid a couple of Hundred for the Jag stuff, a steal and really is in excellent condition.

Next I asked if he had anything else and he said Turbografx  :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance:.  He sold me all the stuff below for $100.

Cool receipt showing the history of some of the games.

He tossed in this stuff below for buying all his other stuff.

Epic day, now to clear shelf space for my new found Jag and Turbo goodies.

Wow!  Nice haul man!  I always wanted to try Ruiner Pinball for Jag CD.

2015-11-30 Japan Pickups by xelement5x, on Flickr

I had picked up some stuff for the PCEFX Secret Santa and grabbed a couple additional things for me too since I already had a shipment ;)

Chrono Cross Soundtrack, full OST plus a poster (This is actually for my wife)
Falcom Metal Works - A doujin Falcom album, I'm a sucker for these
Orange Street 33 - Yum! Yum! Orange (A Japanese Ska band)
Brandish: The Dark Revenant for PSP
Brandish: The Dark Revenant Original Soundtrack (still new and sealed it looks like)


What also came (but isn't being shown) are some gifts for the Secret Santa and a couple friends.  The Brandish soundtrack is kind of weird in that it looks brand new and sealed (even has a tear strip), but there is no obi.  There is a barcode on the back though, so maybe it was sold without an obi?  It is an awesome soundtrack in my opinion, and you have to love dat Dela.

Sol Divide, Ape Escape, and After Burner III by xelement5x, on Flickr


Sol Divide and Ape Escape were titles I've wanted for a while but never found cheap.  Sol Divide is such a weird mishmash of a title I'd been wanting to try it for awhile and wasn't disappointed, it's certainly "unique" to say the least.  Ape Escape is the first entry to the series, I've played some of the later games and this was fun to mess around with.  I guess it's called "Saru Getchu" in Japan, better keep it away from Sarumaru.

Last up is After Burner III for the Mega-CD, the European/PAL release.  I really just grabbed this on a whim since I love the Sega/MegaCD and it was cheaaap from a US seller.  I actually noticed oddly that the game got different artwork and packaging for all three different regions!  The US had a cardboard box, JP had a regular jewel case with obi, and this EU version is in a double-cd case (like most EU releases) I'm assuming to fit the massive manual with instruction in like 5 different languages.  Personally I think I like the artwork on this one the best, it reminds me of like a Japanese arcade flyer.

I met up with beemer for lunch on Saturday and paid him for some stuff I had picked up previously, just for him to surprise me with more goodies he was getting rid of!  Got my cardon with the Ys 1 & 2 and Neutopia boxes only, which look super duper nice and complete my copies. 

I also picked up Dragon Slayer for TG16 CD from him and the Gundam Side Story 0079 game for Dreamcast.  Woot!

Gundam on the Dreamcast is surprisingly fun.  A good mix of tactics/strategy and action, which is exactly what I'd want from a Gundam game.

Some common stuff I just picked up at a flea market outside of Atlantic City.  Always want a SNES Mini, I know it's inferior to the original units but why not it was super cheap and works fine.  FFIX is four discs so I'll take a while to get through that.

Supposedly an RGB modded Mini is superior to the all but the 1-Chip version of the regular model.

Yeah, that's true. I've modded my Mini (it's very simple) and the image on RGB is a little better/brighter on it than any other first model SNES I have. In addition of getting rid of that weird vertical line that you can see on darker backgrounds on the original model, by the way.

Yeah it seems pretty neat, doesn't hurt that my wife is a huge Gundam fan so maybe she will want to play it as well.  I had a disc only copy that was scratched to hell and back and still seemed work, so this one is a nice upgrade.

I heard the same thing recently, I never knew that the SNES revisions improved over time, I figured the best ones had all the bells and whistles and they started cheapening out over time.  Genesis is like that, the early revisions are quite nice but the later ones they got cheap until the final 3/4 motherboard for the model 2.

Retrorgb sells and installs their own custom RGB amplifier:

http://retrorgb.com/snesminirgb.html

But you can always do the DIY method that they also linked in that article and which uses only three resistors, that's the one I've done. And yes, you can use any multi-av Nintendo SCART cable with it after any of that mods; by default the SNES Mini has no s-video or RGB, but the pins are still there on the connector.

By the way, anyone remembers and has the link for the thread where people were discussing about hucards getting destroyed by plastic sleeves?

My copy of blazing lazers, which was supposed to be "new", had the sleeve all gooey with a heavy "chinese plastic" smell and while the hucard didn't suffer any obvious damage, if you look at it at an angle you can see some spots that have become dull. The sealed bravoman's sleeve was also a little bit off and had a scent, but just some cleaning did the job. The falcon one was just smelling faintly of plastic. Of course I'm not keeping any of those sleeves.

Are hucard sleeves getting bad and f*cking up cards common? More reason to unseal games, judging by what it did to my blazing lazers and from the posts I remember from that thread, the sleeves are ticking time bombs! Of course magic VGA cases stop games from decaying and preserve them forever so it might not be a issue to a big tymer collectard. That's some nice "preservation" there. Real museum work.

The same thing happened to me some time ago, I found a spare loose copy of Space Harrier almost glued to its sleeve. The thing left behind a lot of goo in the hucard, it was hard to clean it. I thought at first that the culprit was the sleeve, since it was an old one. But looking through the other games, all in their cases and with those newly made sleeves, some were beginning to get notably sticky too. Almost sure it has to do with humidity and temperature around here, had a similar problem with Atari joysticks and PS2/3 analogs before. Decided not to take chances and changed all the sleeves for resealable  bags from the same plastic that comic book ones are made of, found some in the exact size of the hucards.

Had been looking into buying a big screen computer monitor for my PC and settled on this HDTV which can do 4K but at 30Hz. It has everything needed for running 1080p @ 60Hz nicely from a DVI situation adapted to HDMI but needing audio delivered by analog means, a feature that'll be more rare in the future, as well as providing a VGA input port (extremely rare now). I think I'm pretty happy with it and I can probably get it for $191 with open box markdown from the store if I return it and attempt to rebuy!

Yep, if I get a better video card or new PC, if it outputs 1080p @ 120Hz, this TV will support 120Hz then!! So that'll be nice.

Unfortunately, the 4K support, going that high in resolution (3840 x 2160) is only possible at 30Hz for this el cheapo model... That's tolerable for videos, but horrible to use as a computer monitor. I really DOUBT I would want that anyway, 1080p is great for my monitor mode needs on my work desk! I'm still tweaking it around, but so far so good. I think I will keep it, especially if I pull the return/open box rebuy so I'll get to keep it for only $191 + tax!

Generally speaking you want to run your monitor at its native resolution. If your PC is outputting 1080p then your monitor will have to convert that to match the 4k panel, introducing lag. A nice 1080p IPS panel with with crisp colors and contrast might be better.

The disk system is great!  If you already have LoZ and Metroid on NES, you should enjoy picking out the differences in the FDS versions.  Maybe it's just the collectard in me, but I love the mini floppies with their clear plastic cases.

 I haven't gotten any FDS games in awhile,  mostly because there aren't many left that I want, but offhand I know I need Gyruss and whatever that game that was on AVGN that "SAYS f*ck!"  I think it was little more than a Combat clone, but swearing is always a welcome addition

PS - if the belt for you system ever messes up, I hear it can be repaired with a blow drier.

The specs say 120Hz. I can't imagine any display running as slow as 30Hz. It'd be throwing away half the information.

Yep, if I get a better video card or new PC, if it outputs 1080p @ 120Hz, this TV will support 120Hz then!! So that'll be nice.

Unfortunately, the 4K support, going that high in resolution (3840 x 2160) is only possible at 30Hz for this el cheapo model... That's tolerable for videos, but horrible to use as a computer monitor. I really DOUBT I would want that anyway, 1080p is great for my monitor mode needs on my work desk! I'm still tweaking it around, but so far so good. I think I will keep it, especially if I pull the return/open box rebuy so I'll get to keep it for only $191 + tax!
Generally speaking you want to run your monitor at its native resolution. If your PC is outputting 1080p then your monitor will have to convert that to match the 4k panel, introducing lag. A nice 1080p IPS panel with with crisp colors and contrast might be better.

Yeah, good point. You want it set to its native resolution in principle. Thing is, I really wanted a TV. Monitors after 27" start getting really expensive, don't have a remote, tuner or speakers as they're meant for an office and the 2 AOC 27" models I tried kinda sucked compared to the 720p TV I was using before, so that led me back to looking for a TV and finding this one.

Quote from: EvilEvoIX on December 12, 2015, 06:02:11 AM
WHy only 30HZ?  what's the point?

To bring you some 4K support at a really affordable price from the get-go, although prices are dropping in general. It's like 720p HDTVs being able to play video at 1080i 30Hz. Not ideal as 1080p 60Hz, but it's tolerable.

I assume that PGM2 was from the neo-geo group buy? I tossed and turned on jumping on to that for days. Shit looks real purdy.

A buddy of mine told me that apparently only 420 copies of Devil's Third was available at gamestops country-wide. Damn happy I was able to get a copy for myself as well.

Nice pickups!

The mailman recently brought me new copies of Lego Lord of the Rings ($17 shipped) and Akiba's Trip ($20 shipped) for the Vita and a nice copy of Basted ($48 shipped) for OBEY.  The latter seemed like a fair price, working out to something like $3 per titteh.  :mrgreen:

I honestly cannot believe that a game would have that low of a print run and still be distributed nationally, it makes no fiscal sense at all.  People are just going insane on this thing, flipping it for crazy amounts of money based on a internet news article. 

Either way, I heard Amazon will have a restock before the end of the year so I'm hoping the scalpers get burned.  There is no reason a week old regular Wii U game should be over $100.

Yes, the PGM2 was from the group buy. It plays great, glad i decided to get it, as I too was on the fence. It being holiday season and all.

I really hope the flippers get stuck with a $60 game they don't want. The single player is pretty mediocre so far, but the multiplayer is actually a lot of fun

No, my Wega has an hdmi input.  It also has component, s-video, composite, RF, and I've added a SCART/Japanese 21-pin/VGA Input as well.  I run my dreamcast through the VGA for a great pic, ps2 and XBOX Via component and get the enhanced picture as well.  It'll accept any signal from 240p to 1080P.  It can only display 1080i but it accepts the PS4's signal as 1080p and then downscales.  I have 2 of these tvs in fact.  A 4:3 and a 16:9 version.  It's the ultimate gaming tv and since broadcast tv I'd only 1080i looks beautiful with FIOS HD via HDMI.

I finally got a chance to post pictures of this recent arrival from Japan!

Sega Mega CD Model 1 and Mega Karaoke Unit by xelement5x, on Flickr

I was extremely lucky on my bidding for a Mega Karaoke unit, probably one of the rarest 16-bit peripherals that Sega released for the Mega Drive and Mega CD in Japan.  I have been wanting one of these for a VERY long time and even in Japan they are normally pretty expensive, but I lucked out on an inconspicuous auction and won the karaoke unit (complete in box with paperwork) for 1000 yen.  That was about $8 USD at the time of purchase back in October.  Completely ecstatic I decided to finally grab a Model 1 Mega CD and Mega Drive (AV Intelligent Version) to complete the set and ship them all via slowboat.  They just arrived a couple weeks ago and I couldn't be happier with everything, going to spend most of the holidays messing around with them I think.

I did also get some games in the Mega-CD bundle, but nothing amazing worth posting a picture about.  Some Mega-CDs, Puyo Puyo MD, and some Japanese EA games.

Sega Mega Karaoke Unit by xelement5x, on Flickr

Up close shot of the Mega Karaoke Unit.  There are jacks in the back to accept audio in from the Mega CD, and then do audio out as well.  It actually is quite light and almost feels kind of cheaply made to be honest, but I am still happy to add more Mega-CD to my life.

Bought a few games this month.
I've been enjoying vintage arcade and computer ports lately.

With Arkista's Ring and Spiritual Warfare I now have every NES game that can be construed as an RPG, which has been a fun journey for the last twenty-five years (and yes, I've beaten Hydlide).

The loose carts on the right I found at a pawn shop in Berlin for about $25 total. I'd been looking for Sonic Spinball for years but hadn't been willing to pay the ebay rate.

Originally Devils Thrid wasn't on my radar. I saw a review and figured oh good another $12 game to pick up like the majority of my WiiU games.

But then I saw people posting on FB that it has a limited physical print and its quickly selling out.


So I picked up a copy. Long story short I traveled to Edinburg TX from San Antonio for a day and while traveling I checked the GameStop app to see if any where available. A few places had one but they where all on hold or being shipped out to another store.

I gave up once I got to my home town and checked for Pikmin 3. The store that had a copy I asked if they had Devils Third expecting a no.  But they said YES. But it was a pre order. I was surprised they held onto a pre order that long but the guy thought the game came out yesterday. I was all no it'd been it for a few day. He double checked and was all oh. Wow. I guess you can have it.

So I told him to hold both games sonincan pick it up the next day as it was almost 10PM and I wouldn't make it.

So yeah. Picked it up today. I don't expect much from the game honestly but that might actually increase my enjoyment.

NES:
Star Tropics
Zoda's Revenge
Faxanadu
Crystalis (LOVING this one!)

SNES:
Axelay (wish I'd picked this one up sooner, probably the best shooter I've played on the system thus far)
Votoms: Battling Road (SFC)
Carrier Aces
Operation Logic Bomb
BS Legend of Zelda repro


Also got a black & purple PCE pad to match my Duo, an NES Advantage stick, and a copy of Virtua Tennis for the Dreamcast.

I've not opened all my presents, but so far I've gotten CIB copies of Elemental Gimmick Gear for the Dreamcast, and Alien Soldier for the Mega Drive!  I parted with my repro of that one awhile ago, before prices went crazy, so I wasn't expecting to ever get a legit copy.

Unlike Radiant Silvergun, Alien Soldier is one Treasure game I don't ever see myself getting rid of. :3

Oh, and I also got Season 4 Vol. 2 and Season 5 of The Venture Bros on DVD.  Woot!

Alien Soldier is one of my favorite games of all time.  I got a nice copy years and years ago, and I will definitely never let go of it either.  I hope you can beat your old times on your new copy!  I also love my Radiant Silvergun too though :)  Those are without a doubt the best two Treasure games in my mind, with no disrespect to Guardian Heroes and Gunstar Heroes which are also amazing, as are most of the games they put out.

Necro!  I went to my Mom's house last night and look what she got me:

New!   Wow, it's been a long time since I've seen a sealed in box GB game, like since when I was a kid.  Don't worry though, I'm gonna open er' up.  There's a nice little faux "VGA graded" box on the outside (it's just thin plastic) but I am gonna keep the box in there after opening and playing it.  I should get some of these for my other boxes, so cool!

I've not opened all my presents, but so far I've gotten CIB copies of Elemental Gimmick Gear for the Dreamcast, and Alien Soldier for the Mega Drive!  I parted with my repro of that one awhile ago, before prices went crazy, so I wasn't expecting to ever get a legit copy.

Unlike Radiant Silvergun, Alien Soldier is one Treasure game I don't ever see myself getting rid of. :3

Oh, and I also got Season 4 Vol. 2 and Season 5 of The Venture Bros on DVD.  Woot!

Very nice. EGG is a fun game and someone must really like ya to get Alien Soldier for a present. :D

I grabbed The Legendary Axe and Dungeon Explorer today. Happy to add both into the fold and play through them.

The Mega Duck appears to be the efforts of a team of two French companies, Creatronic and Videojet, and of one Dutch company, Timlex. (tho, as Creatronic appears to have a very sparse and suspisciously low account of machine mades between the late 70's and early 90's, I suppose that it's just a nameholder for another company. I would think ITMC/Yeno, or Videojet themselves)
It was released around 1993, mostly in France, Germany and the Netherland.
It also found a way to South America where it was sold under the even more hilarious name of COUGAR BOY (as you can see on some of the game carts I have).
All of the games appears to have been programmed by the famous Taiwanese company Sachen.
They are of decent quality. I suppose, if it had received the backing and publicity the Watara Supervision received, it might have been more successful. But it didn't and quickly faded into obscurity.

And the Famicom and FDS games :

My family was super generous this year, I feel so lucky and blessed :)

My brother went the amazon route,
Hyrule Warriors Wii U
Shovel Knight Wii U
Duck Tails Remastered Wii U
Majora's Mask 3DS
Saturn SVideo Cable
Dreamcast VGA cable
PlayStation Component Cable

My Fiance found a brick and mortar cheap copies of BloodBorne and Alien Isolation for PS4.

My Mom who is in Montana found a bunch of thrift shop games and gifted them to me, some of which I already had but it really warmed my heart that she tried and found me anything at all :P

Iron Sword NES
Solstice NES
Super SpyHunter NES
Star Wars Shadow of the Empire N64
GoldenEye 007 N64

But there was a cool few I didn't have too,

RoboWarrior NES
Toxic Crusaders Gensis
Superman 64  N64 ( I hear good things about this hidden gem)
Perfect Dark N64
Army Men Sarge's Hero's 2 N64
Blast Corps N64

So I was really blown away. I never expected to get such rad variety and quantity of games. My collectardation increased significantly this Christmas.

I usually treat myself to something this time of year because the family usually supplies me with undergarments and household wares, which made this year even more excessive because of my independent acquisitions outside of the gifts.

I got a great deal on a 32x loose but with all the parts (clips and cords and ac adapter) and 5 games,
Doom
After Burner II W/Manual
Star Wars Arcade CIB
Virtua Fighter CIB
And the crown jewel, Virtua Racing CIB.

I also picked up the two Turbob Express sets. The other recently purchased item, and the only thing out of all of these I've played yet, is Xenoblade Chronicles X Wii U. I love the game so far and can't recommend it enough if you enjoy exploration and beautiful open world RPGs. Japanese sci-fi skyrim or fallout with better combat.

I am so busy with family, travel, and personal projects this time of year I can't find the time to enjoy all this stuff right now, but I am well.supplied for some time to come :p Merry Christmas and happy holidays everyone

Man, it's been a long time opening a new GB game for me, I was hit with a massive nostalgia bomb.  This shit even came with a cool poster!  I'm gonna get a frame for it and hang it up, too.  Does anyone have any idea where to score these thin plastic protective boxes?  I kept almost all of my GBA cardboard boxes and three GBC ones, I should do what this seller did and plop them in there.

Thanks Schweaty!  I'm not a really a box collector so I didn't know about these, but I have a couple boxes I've been keeping anyway - they just look damn cool sitting on your shelf.  Gotta box up my US Cosmic Fantasy 2 from forever ago so I can enjoy that fantastic artwork forever.

New!   Wow, it's been a long time since I've seen a sealed in box GB game, like since when I was a kid.  Don't worry though, I'm gonna open er' up.  There's a nice little faux "VGA graded" box on the outside (it's just thin plastic) but I am gonna keep the box in there after opening and playing it.  I should get some of these for my other boxes, so cool!


Sweet!  Let us know what you think of it once you've had a chance to play for a bit.

I love the music, finding the dungeon crawl parts a little confusing, I might have to break out some graph paper or something!  Overall very cool and a game I always wondered about.  If you saw my other post where I opened it up, there's a poster with the cover artwork in there and I'm totally framing it and hanging it up.

I bought myself a copy of Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel (no pic because its not cool enough) and some nice bazzy mousepads -

Christmas Gifts! by xelement5x, on Flickr

DJ Max Techika TUNE [Vita]
Ready Player One [Book]
Nayuta no Kiseki [PSP]


Shovel Knight for the Wii U
Deception IV: Blood Ties for the PS3
Code Name: STEAM for the 3DS

In the upper right is a new Hakko Tip Cleaner for my iron, gonna ditch the sponge finally, woohoo!  Also received but not pictured is the book Console Wars, that sucker is big and will be a neat read I think.  Ready Player One has already sucked me in quite well though, and I would recommend it to most folks on here.

Ready Player One was a pretty fun read and full of all kinds of nostalgia. Had a blast with that one.

Shovel Knight is a damn gem. That and Rogue Legacy were all I played for weeks.

They're part of the set, along with the weeping angel, Clara, and both Doctors.

I kinda want the two Dr. Who Lego Dimensions pack, but they're awfully expensive if don't give a hoot about the game aspect.

Ex-Ranza is one of the few games I've considered getting on the Mega Drive even though I already have Ranger-X on the Genesis.  Such an awesome game.

I'd love to get Ex-Ranza one day too.  I don't have a very big Genesis library, my crown jewel is Alien Soldier (NTSC version of course), and I have some beater copies of Gunstar and Headdy.  Nice taste in arcade games too, Knights of the Round is one of my favorites.  So cool how your armor and weapons get better and better as you level up, and Percival slowly goes bald.  Awesome.

Speaking of Genesis stuff, my GF showed some interest in TMNT: Tournament Fighters.  I was gonna get it for her, but I wondered if anyone here preferred the SNES or Genesis version for any reason?  I know there's some differences with the import, I doubt I'll take it that far though.

Super Famicom Games and Misc Books by xelement5x, on Flickr

I picked up some random cheap Super Famicom games recently and they just game in a bit ago on the slowboat:
Yoshi's Road Hunting (Yoshi's Safari)
Brandish
Mario's Super Picross

Plus a random Popful Mail doujin called Outlanders, and a little book called the PC-FX Best Characters: Official Digital Originals Collection Vol.3.  There are lots of character shots in the collection book from several PC-FX games, then in the back there is a CD that can be put in your computer to pull all the files off and look at.  I haven't tested the CD yet but I'm betting the resolution on them is not that good.

Lots of Japanese PC Magazines and Random Comics by xelement5x, on Flickr

Two bundle of stuff here.  On the left are some Japanese PC magazine called (I think) Comptique which had some neat stuff in them.  They were relatively cheap and definitely fun to look though, many still have their appendices as well, so that means mini-comics and little random inserts or CDs.  I've had a blast digging through one volume already, there is a picture of a very confused American next to a guy in a gigantic Bonk mascot outfit.

Last but not least, one of my coworkers had a friend that was dumping all his old comics from when he was a kid.  It was a lot of 90s junk so nothing too cool, but there were a couple neat looking issues I pulled out.  I'm a big fan of Xenozoic! so seeing the first issue of Cadillacs and Dinosaurs was a fun find and I grabbed it.

Been a while since I posted in this thread.  This is everything for the past four months.  Not pictured is a used copy of Double Dragon for the Gameboy Advance that I found up in Green Bay WI.  Work has had me on the road and working crazy hours so I have not been able to play games much.  Got lucky being at the right place at the right time to pick up Devil's Third and Giana Sisters.

Was expecting Chibi Robo to play more like a Castlevania game....but I'm still enjoying it.  Can't wait for Axiom Virge to hit the Vita, but it looks like it will only be digital download only.  :(

(https://s5.postimg.cc/xtskqmuqv/My_New_Video_Card_R5450.jpg)

Bought this video card the other day to keep my old Vista rigg chugging along because I wanted a cheap solution to output a HDMI signal with audio included, instead of a DVI situation and relying on the TV to support processing the audio there separately with another wire. Newer TVs aren't usually supporting that scenario for older cards with DVI-only and a HDMI adapter.

So, $29.99 on sale but with rebate of $10 ($19.99) - However, I am el cheapo and it was hard enough to justify not trying to pick out a whole new PC, so I went for the open box/used one with the Microcenter discount for $23.96 rather than wait 10 weeks for a $10 gift card...

Well, suffice to say, it does the trick and was only a few bucks more than the cheapest eBay solution of a DVI+SPDIF to HDMI mixer/converter box which is normally in the $40 bucks range with S/H (This type of device (http://www.ebay.com/itm/DVI-SPDIF-COXA-to-HDMI-Converter-1080P-HDCP-V1-3b-/271434438192?hash=item3f32c0d630)).

I didn't believe the guy at the store that the video card would process the audio without having to attach a wire from the sound card to it, but no, the video card can talk with the Operating System after the HDMI audio driver is installed and achieve the result without connections to your sound card!

Anyway, I tried running "Ys [III]: The Oath Felghana" with maximum settings in its native resolution and WOW, I sure was missing a lot! IT'S GORGEOUS! I didn't have a 1080p TV/monitor till recently as well, so I never saw the game in its full glory... It is something to behold, that's for sure!

Pretty stupid then that I spent $10 bucks on a female DVI to male HDMI adapter not too long ago... And then another $4 bucks on a complete DVI to HDMI cable to keep supporting the old video card which used cheap gauged cable and actually picked up interference that totally ruined the picture. :/ $2 bucks on another adapter that didn't work... I guess though you'd still need those adapters if you ever get a system with 4k output because that usually will mostly work from the DVI slot for a lot of video cards I see based on the specs of models I browsed on the Microcenter website.

Ordered a few items from videogameboxprotectors.com, some SeymourOnion hu-card sleeves and a couple boxes because what the hell, why not?  Looking forward to clothing my all too naked loosies and replacing some of the original gunky ones.  Is there any value to keeping the sticky/yellowing original sleeves?  Do you guys just chuck them?  I tried washing them with dish soap some time back with OK results, they were still tacky.  I remember that New Adventure Island had a different sleeve when I had it, the textured one.  How did that one hold up?

Btw, I went back to that local retro game store today to look at that Jack Nicklaus (turbochip version) again, thinking I might buy it depending on the price.  Manual was in pretty rough shape, but it had the original case, and the card was in decent enough looking shape.  No sleeve.  They wanted $16.99 though, so even though I like golf I understand it's not a great game especially for that money.  Mighta just picked it up for $5-8 but not for $17.  If anyone is interested in it though, let me know.  Seems higher than ebay pricing from a cursory glance.  They have a TG-16 console there now too, couldn't get the price because the cashier was taking forever.  It's in so-so looking shape, missing the back piece and there was a little melted/burn mark on there like when you get chemicals on plastic that don't belong there.  It was a small mark and would be covered up if you could get the cover or a turbo booster.  Anyway, if someone needs a system I can look into it for you.

(1) Yellow sleeves: it's funny how badly yellowed/tacky some batches of sleeves have become. Many of mine are very yellow. I have never replaced them. Maybe I should. But don't hold your breath. You could always ask if someone here wanted them.

(2) Jack Nicklaus is for folks who are PATIENT, since you visibly see the course redraw onscreen (any movement/panning of background is slow).  Otherwise, you can certainly enjoy it if you give it a chance. I find it oddly enjoyable. It's messy looking (aesthetically), but the mechanics are fine. DISCLAIMER: MOST folks will not like this game, however.

I see so many systems with those burn marks on them I think it must have happened at the factory or something. 

Last night I hit the thrift and found a couple decent PS1 games for $2 each: Silent Hill, Jersey Devil and Gex.  Silent Hill will be an upgrade to my copy since it's pretty beat up, but I'll keep Gex since I only have the 3D0 version and Jersey Devil since it looks weird.

Yellow doesn't bother me too too much, but sticky/tacky is kinda worrisome and a little gross to handle.  I'll try to clean them up and decide what to do with them then I guess. 

As for Jack Nicklaus, I would definitely give it a whirl - just need a good price/slightly better condition (or lower price for the condition this one is in). I love golf video games, I even did QA on one of them once (Outlaw Golf).  I wish there were more mini-golf games though.  Seems like the only great one I can think of is Zany Golf, maybe Putt & Putter on SMS.  One of the game ideas I'd like to get out one day is a mini-golf game with a specific theme I had in mind...

That's weird but I think now that you mention it, I think I've seen it before on others!  Silent Hill for $2 bucks is a steal, especially if it was an upgrade for you.  Lot of love out there for SH2, but for me SH1 is where it's at.  That soundtrack and atmosphere was incredible.  Don't get me wrong, I am a fan of SH2 as well, but I'd like to see more people give due credit to the original game.  It's so good!

The only textured sleeve I have came with my copy of Air Zonk years ago. It's held up very well. All of my sleeves have to be honest. I don't think I store my hueys any differently than the next gamer so I don't know.

It has to do with "outgassing" and I believe it happens from poor storage methods, it was discussed some here: https://www.pcenginefx.com/forums/index.php?topic=18771.msg399211#msg399211

I expected as much, they seemed a little nicer than the standard ones.  Still waiting on my SeymourOnion ones, I shouldn't be so excited about it as I am.  My gf got me some GBA plastic cases (they are aftermarket, of course, like the original GB plastic protector cases) and I was so pleased to give my carts a little place to stay nice and clean.

Had been looking into buying a big screen computer monitor for my PC and settled on this HDTV which can do 4K but at 30Hz. It has everything needed for running 1080p @ 60Hz nicely from a DVI situation adapted to HDMI but needing audio delivered by analog means, a feature that'll be more rare in the future, as well as providing a VGA input port (extremely rare now). I think I'm pretty happy with it and I can probably get it for $191 with open box markdown from the store if I return it and attempt to rebuy!

(https://s5.postimg.cc/m5vocrmzr/SE39_UY04_LED_ULTRA_HDTV_1.jpg)

http://www.microcenter.com/product/451211/39_(Refurbished)_LED_4k_Ultra_HDTV

http://www.seiki.com/content/39-se39uy04-led-ultra-hdtv

Update on my new Seiki 39" TV, I did the rebuy idea mentioned the other day. While having returned it to the store, I did try to evaluate another TV, this time a Vizio 43" full 4k/2160p smart TV for $399 which I almost wanted to keep, but decided against. So, picked it up the Seiki again, and with taxes, the total was $211! :)

Now here's the best part, I actually learned something new. How to overclock a video card on refresh rates and custom resolutions. I upgraded to this el cheapo Radeon 5450 as mentioned for $24, but hopefully I get back the $10 rebate (which I sent in) so keeping my old 2008 Vista PC on life support yet again doesn't feel so bad by dropping more money into it:

http://www.microcenter.com/product/363989/Radeon_HD_5450_Video_Card (http://www.microcenter.com/product/363989/Radeon_HD_5450_Low_Profile_1024MB_DDR3_PCIe_20_Video_Card)

Here comes the ProTip: Turns out, thankfully, that Radeon and Nvidia cards have a means of setting up custom resolutions and refresh rates that otherwise would never show up in the setup apps or via the Windows display control panel app!

This guide right here can get you started:

http://www.blurbusters.com/overclock/120hz-pc-to-tv/

It's easier if you have a Nvidia card, but since mine is a Radeon, I had to run a patcher first which removes lots of limitations AND ACTUALLY, it let me go 4K 3840x2160 @ 30Hz (as per the TV's limit) so I got to test some 4K video!

http://www.monitortests.com/forum/Thread-AMD-ATI-Pixel-Clock-Patcher

This 2008 computer is too slow to run 4K videos though, even with Media Player Classic, so they stall/play choppy, if at all, but yes, very beautiful! Interestingly enough, for general desktop usage, 4k@30Hz is not as bad as 1080i@30Hz as I remember with my old 26" 720p TV... The mouse pointer looks OK, but you do need to double or triple its speed to move through ALL that real estate that's gained!

Anyway, so just running the AMD/ATI patcher and rebooting instantly made available the 3840x2160 @ 30Hz resolution both on the Windows control panel app and the proprietary ATI/AMD Catalyst software made for the card.

http://www.monitortests.com/forum/Thread-Custom-Resolution-Utility-CRU

Next I ran the Custom Resolution Utility and I added 1920x1080 @ 120Hz, rebooted and as hoped, this resolution and newly added refresh rate showed up as a selectable option in all apps. Having switched to it, the TV reported the resolution/refresh rate as 1080p@120hz and I gotta say, it really makes a big difference. The easy subjective test is to grab a window and move it around very fast. You will see how much more fluid it moves. I tried my Felghana PC game and though it's not widescreen patched, it's damn near perfect!

I guess this problem though of video cards not showing all the resolutions and refresh rates supported is for those of us with a bit aging hardware, but yeah, very cool to have done this!

So, $211 for a full 39" inches of TV with true 120 Hz @ 1080p, no gimmicks/tricks (e.g. "motion rate 120/240"), but lacking smart TV features is looking like an OK deal for a discontinued model because the maker is going for full 4K @ 60Hz with their next generation of models. I suspect this el cheapo model can keep me cool for many years and it still has all possible input connections. What I need to test next though is 240p support with its YPbPr/Component input jacks to see if this thing is full retro-considerate for us old timer crank types. :)

bought this on christmas eve and it just got here yesterday.

FM Towns Marty, listed as broken. Got it for $122.50+$67 shipping
(http://wizardsarcade.com/Media/Images/Hauls/2016-01-19/FM-Towns-Marty-01.jpg)

Opened it up and found the door sensor broken.
(http://wizardsarcade.com/Media/Images/Hauls/2016-01-19/FM-Towns-Marty-03.jpg)

Taped the sensor down and it read a audio cd, later tested free software collection vol2, splatterhouse, and muscle bomber all loaded fine.
(http://wizardsarcade.com/Media/Images/Hauls/2016-01-19/FM-Towns-Marty-02.jpg)

tested a floppy diskette and it sounded really loud, removed the drive and found broken belt. WIll be replacing that next.

Yeah I seen that only issue is the run/select buttons. Some of the ones I seen didn't have them and the fm towns uses doubled up button combos as run/select (up+down=Select, Left+Right=Run). Also seen a simple cable could be make to use genesis controllers so I may do that for the time being.

A lot of games use the Run/Select buttons.  You will need them.  I have never seen a game that uses the Zoom button though.  However of all the official Towns pads, the Marty ones are the best.

I've never played anything fm towns but always was interested in it to see the port of Splatterhouse. So that will be the first game I plan to play on it. I was reading a genesis controller can be modded for the fm towns use so I may do that first.

Just happened moments ago, an Ys buddy of mine PM'ed me that an original Ys I&II Complete Limited Edition set had just gone up on eBay by HitJapan. He knew I wanted one after he showed me the one he bought and he kept an eye out for the next sale to pop up on my behalf.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/311531949305

(https://s5.postimg.cc/gwwlvll47/Ys12_Complete_Full_LESet.jpg)

So HitJapan wanted $50 + $20 for shipping, BUT, they had a Make Offer option, so my initial haggle attempt was based on subtracting that $20 for shipping, to keep it at $50, my absolute max, so I offered $30... To my surprise and disappointment, the operator was online and accepted my offer a few minutes later... I wonder much lower I could've gone, but oh well, $50 it is!!! :)

It's a bit collectard to want this for my shelf basically since I played out the game and already have the Falcom Popular Edition which is the mini-me version of this full Limited Edition set. For the most part, it'll admittedly just be a shiny trophy of some of my Ys past. Always liked how they fashioned the box in the style of an ancient book of Ys. :) But yeah, oh well, I have a bit of collectard in me.

Not pictures are: Henrry Hatsworth DS, ghost detective DS, some Phoenix weight game but with the antagonist DS. I put them away and didn't feel like pulling them out for pictures. 😚

When Lords of thunder was up for sale on a local FB page someone also posted the Sega CD port for the same price of $120 CIB. I only had cash for one. Had to go Super CD!  Will wait for another Sega CD copy to pop up later. Blah.

Have been wanting to pick up a few games that use the SNES mouse. I hear the Doom port can use it as well but don't have it yet.

Second copy of the Rodeah game. Only wanted it so I could have a inverted Wii copy to slide next to my Wii games. Not sure if I want to keep it in the blue WiiU case or swap it for a White Wii case.

Also $5 for season 3 of TMNT at Wallmart? Heck yeah!  Wonder if they have the other seasons for $5?  I have only ever seen the party wagon complete series collection. But I don't want to pay $54 for it.

Went a little Anime crazy. Picked up a lot of the Tenchi series. Missing a small chunk wondering if they are all on Bluray or just some of it? 

(http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n119/medic_wheat/Video Games/797DA757-2680-4F5F-856A-87F7849EA950_zpswiudvsk8.jpg) (http://s110.photobucket.com/user/medic_wheat/media/Video Games/797DA757-2680-4F5F-856A-87F7849EA950_zpswiudvsk8.jpg.html)

Really fun series I use to watch on Toonami. Have been waiting for part 2 to ship from Amazon for a few weeks. Just waiting for it to be back in stock. Amazon has he's really cheap at $15 a volume.

(http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n119/medic_wheat/Video Games/0418C42A-45B7-47CA-9513-62C3E1B784CA_zpsxe3lrvwd.jpg) (http://s110.photobucket.com/user/medic_wheat/media/Video Games/0418C42A-45B7-47CA-9513-62C3E1B784CA_zpsxe3lrvwd.jpg.html)

Rounding out some PS2 and PS3 love. Can't wait to play BioShocl Infinite. Want to pick up the double pack of BioShock 1&2 with all DLC they have as well waiting for it to dip below $25 used though.  Have played and enjoyed the first two but I like that the double pack as all DLC. Not sure if the DLC adds anything mind you per say.

And what can I say. guitaro man!  Have been wanting that game for a few years. I think I am very close to being done with the PS2 in terms of games I'd like.

Aw dang. I picked that one up on a recommendation. Oh well will have to try it out and see how it handles. If nothing else the box art is boner tastic.

How about the sequel for the 360?  Any better?  I think GS has it used for $13 or something.

I've heard the sequel is better, but I've never played it. 

The first game is programmed by Koreans and incredibly grindy, heavy on tedious synthing just to get items you need, and the battle system requires constant attention.  It could be up your alley, but it was a waste of my money when I bought it back in the day.  The one shining grace is that the box set game with a guide for the entire game.

Just happened moments ago, an Ys buddy of mine PM'ed me that an original Ys I & II Complete Limited Edition set had just gone up on eBay by HitJapan. He knew I wanted one after he showed me the one he bought and he kept an eye out for the next sale to pop up on my behalf.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/311531949305

(https://s5.postimg.cc/gwwlvll47/Ys12_Complete_Full_LESet.jpg)

So HitJapan wanted $50 + $20 for shipping, BUT, they had a Make Offer option, so my initial haggle attempt was based on subtracting that $20 for shipping, to keep it at $50, my absolute max, so I offered $30... To my surprise and disappointment, the operator was online and accepted my offer a few minutes later... I wonder much lower I could've gone, but oh well, $50 it is!!! :)

It's a bit collectard to want this for my shelf basically since I played out the game and already have the Falcom Popular Edition which is the mini-me version of this full Limited Edition set. For the most part, it'll admittedly just be a shiny trophy of some of my Ys past. Always liked how they fashioned the box in the style of an ancient book of Ys. :) But yeah, oh well, I have a bit of collectard in me.

I have never posted before but I figured this would be a good pickup to show. So I got all this stuff at the local Pittsburgh Retro Gaming convention. Now this is a very small event and I only know about it because I was really searching for anything local. It was a fun time though even though the snow kept the attendance down.

So I got these new homebrews:
Germ Squashes is a fun 2 player action platformer reminiscent of the original mario brothers.

Haunted: Halloween '85 is a fun side scroller that my son was just crushing. He actually impressed the developer with how well he was doing.
(http://i67.tinypic.com/2h6ezo9.jpg)

Here are my turbo pickups, unfortunately the pickings were slim but I got a couple goodies.
(http://i65.tinypic.com/2iu9nkp.jpg)

A selection of NES & SNES/Super Famicom games.
(http://i63.tinypic.com/2ntv57l.jpg)

Some game manuals, Arc the Lad collection, Daytona USA, and a neat little card game.
(http://i67.tinypic.com/293zssj.jpg)

My son picked these. I will admit I didn't look close at Turok when he picked it I thought it was rated T (he is only 6). Luckily it has an option to turn off the 'violence' and anyway he is just shooting dinosaur people so its all good.

The rest was from a cheep grab bag. Not bad.
(http://i68.tinypic.com/kbo9j8.jpg)

Here is the main pickup though a Sega CD complete in box with Lethal Enforcers and a bonus genesis manual in the box as well. A steel at $100.
(http://i64.tinypic.com/11tvh4k.jpg)

So then I needed to get some Sega CD games and got the main 2 I wanted the Sega CD for VAY and Popful Mail. I almost missed Popful Mail because it had a Lunar 2 insert in the case and was also discounted because of that. Nothing the internet and a printer can't fix.

Popful MAIL!  Nice! :D

Just a note, Popful Mail has a foil embossed back insert like the manual so scans for the back that are out there might be weird looking.  If you have a hard time locating a decent high resolution scan just let me know, mine may look weird too but at least I can give you a decent DPI to work with.

The one I found is only 300 dpi but clean looking and the embossed parts are a little dark. If you got a better one I would appreciate it.

The tough part is waiting for the HD Retrovision cable I kickstarted to come in before playing. Playing this game over the Genesis's muddy composite just won't do.

I went on a buying spree just over this past weekend.  Tell me how I did...I am reasonably certain I overpaid on some titles:

Super Strike Eagle (SNES) - cart, $4.  I figure most any SNES game is worth $5 and up, so this is one of the bargains.  I found youtube videos and I am quite impressed by the overhead special SNES mode 7 effects.
Goof Troop (SNES) - cart, $10.  I remembered this being on the lists of several top 100 articles, and it looks like a very high quality overhead puzzler.  Honestly, this is about what most of my normal SNES carts cost me give or take a few bucks.  It is one of those Capcom Disney titles that should be talked about a lot more.
Senna's Super Monaco GP II  (Genesis) - complete, $16.  I read a recent developer interview, and then watched Top Gear's tribute, and then watched CGR's review and I was sold.  It is in the mail to me.
Super Monaco GP (Genesis) - complete, $6.  I always wanted to have the first arcade title, now I have it in the mail to me under the Sega Classics blue box, which matches my original 1992 copy of Revenge of Shinobi.
Maximum Carnage (SNES) - cart, $18.  I did a little SNES vs. Genesis comparison and I found that the SNES edition won based on the music.  Why are SNES beat 'em ups always one player?  No idea if this will be a red cart or a gray cart...
McDonalds Treasure Land Adventure (Genesis) - cart, $22.  Here is where I really got into trouble on the price front.  I had this on my want list for a very long time and I could never find a copy locally.  I searched everywhere on Amazon and the 'bay and came up with this copy.  I can tell already I am really going to miss having at least a box for it.  I am looking forward to seeing how well Treasure pushed the Genesis hardware with this license.
Batman: The Video Game (Genesis) - cart, $7.  Jeez, another loosie?  Where are my standards...I found I did not enjoy this as much as I hoped.  This one might go in the trade bin...it does not even have a label on the cart.  The PCB inside is official, however.

Price thoughts?  Did I get taken?

Yea, Turbo stuff is hard to find for what I am missing....Thanks robot!

Soundtracks for the games are becoming more and more important to me as I get older.  Some smart person said with the ps3, ps4, xbox 360, one...all of the games sound the same no matter the platform.  We all lost something when CD media homogenized game soundtracks, IMHO.

Any other thoughts on those prices.  Should I beat myself up, or what?

Ah, no kidding!

I was worried about what I paid though because I went for it quickly on impulse, HitJapan accepted the first offer I tried, minus $20, and I never kept an eye out on how past sales have ended...

I wonder how much lower I could've lowballed him, but $50 (total) is the history I created. :/ $40 would've been great to snag this little piece of Ys history, but $50 ain't bad and shit can always get worse on eBay, so... Now to hope it's in good condition when it arrives!

Hm, HD Retrovision is still doing Kickstarters for their cables ? I thought all that finished ages ago. Guess they're doing it on a per-system basis.

There was no new kickstarter, they are in the final stages before full production. It has taken a while but they have been very good with the updates and keeping everyone informed. These cables are looking like they will be better than expected.

If anyone is interested I can post my impressions about them when I get them. I am getting both SNES and Genesis cables.

This will be very good to know.

The only coverage I took notice of was a short video done by "my life in gaming" on YouTube.

These cables

They take the native RGB that comes out of a SNES or Genesis multi av out and convert it to component in the cable.

Honestly I dot think she will use it.


She is one of those naturally skinny people who never hands ounce of fat.


Then we had our first child and she feels fat with left over baby weight which honestly would make most women jealous if they had her body.  But no. My wife feels fat and wanted to work it. Something she has never done in her life. I told her to join a gym but she doesn't feel she would have time due to having a 9 month old.

So I said well buy something to help you work out at home. Which she did.  I don't see it being used. She has never had to work out or develop a work out plan. I could be wrong. But something. Tells me we got ourselves an expensive coat rack that in a year she will want to get ride of because seeing it never used makes her feel worse that she bought it.

Your wife uses groupon too!?! I just put the same thing together this past weekend.

I did find out that it is not recommended to use the included grease for the axle but go buy a tube of White Lithium Grease otherwise it will start squeaking after a while.

To increase its chance of being used we positioned ours so the TV can be watched while using it.

Lol we use grip on but I didn't think to check when we bought this.

I didn't know about the grease. Oh well.

Honestly, the main reason I go to the gym is so that I can watch anime/Netflix undisturbed by my family.  The building up endurance is a nice bonus, though I've been doing cardio for a loooong time and should probably switch to weights a bit, I really don't want to since you can't really lift and watch waifus.

I hosted Tampa's first annual retro game swap meet at the local Hackerspace. It had an awesome turn out and everyone had a lot of fun. Here's a pic from when everyone first started setting up
(http://i.imgur.com/DoOZUQd.jpg?1)
I got rid of a ton of crap and came home with some pretty sweet stuff!
from the top I got Macross Scramble Valkyrie, Joy Mech Fight, VR Troopers, Rampage World Tour, Adventure Island, Krion Conquest (finally!!!), Rally Bike, Bionic Commando, Freedom Force, Stinger, Battletoads, Pesterminator (messed up label but very rare unlicensed game), Phantom Fighter, Solomons Club (the game boy game), Vindicators and Skull and Crossbones

There is a retro gaming Facebook group based up in Denver near me which is really good about building community instead of just "look wut I bought!" threads.  They do regular swap meets which is super cool but I've yet to go to one since Denver is a bit of a drive. 

Keeping a Facebook group active is a surprising amount of work, I am personally a bit amazed by how active the Denver one is.  There was also dramu too, which is funny.

Yeah it actually has been a lot of work. I enlisted several of my friends to help mod it. It's not the biggest local group but we've been very particular about the types of posts and direction we want the group to go and it's really developed into something pretty great
First we did not enable the sales feature and listed it as a club. People can still sell stuff but it has to be old school stuff only. We banned quite a few of the local flippers and flea market booth guys from trying to turn it into craigslist. We don't discourage shopping with them though and made a file for a list of all the places to buy games locally including game stores and flea markets. In return the guys who run game stores that are still in the group are very respectful and even have offered up discounts for our members.
If someone posts spam or like xbox 360s for sale we just remove the post and member. I am also a mod of several other facebook groups but this is the only one where i have to actually do anything like this. Otherwise it would just turn to shit and would look like every other crappy buy sell group on FB.
We also have a local guy and good friend/member that does a game night several nights a week at a couple local bars so we all meet up at one of those nights at least twice a month.
Our group is almost more like a tight knit forum now and we have tons of awesome posts, do group buys for games and monitors and stuff. Most of us have PVMs and candy cabs now and everyone gets along really well.

(http://4k.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/1443023965.jpg)

So, I settled on this 43" 4K TV/monitor after searching for that perfect one a bit more after the Seiki I posted about earlier in this thread (which I eventually returned). With open box discounting, display model, missing original remote, I got it for $356.99+tax = $393.58 total. The info sticker in the back says it was manufactured on November 2015 in Mexico, so it couldn't have been running all that long in the store, 2-3 months say. After wiping the panel with vinegar and screencloth, no scratches whatsoever, so it's perfect in that regard.

I went through testing/evaluating many TVs in the course of the last 3 weeks, up to 7-8 possibly. While this model lied about the 120Hz refresh rate (like many others that are only natively 60Hz, but use tricks to market effective rates or motion rates at 120), it is able to achieve 75Hz @ 1080p which offers like 30% improvement over 60Hz @ 1080p for a computer which honestly looks like ass if you're stuck with it. This TV also has a PC mode setting for its HDMI connection and along with the Game picture settings, you get a pretty good computer monitor out of it after using CRT to create a custom 1080p resolution at 75Hz (which you must learn how to do depending on your video card).

Anyway, I'm tired of searching for one with true blue genuine 120Hz at this size (43"). You can usually find genuine 120Hz support with screens 50" and above, but that's too big for the workstation desk in my bedroom that I want this for. 43" is a little bit too big, but I don't mind the extra desktop space and good movie-watching enjoyment I'll get out of it as a result. So, hopefully it works out in the long run. I never really had a LCD/LED TV give up on me, but you never know. With that confidence, I don't pay more for insurance coverage that the retailers usually offer you.

Nothing too special, but I bought a copy of Super Mario Kart & another SNES controller from a local dealer here in Ohio.  He had lots of rarez, which is cool, but I'm too broke these days.  I just wanted something I could play with my cousins while I'm visiting...which I did!  Lots of cursing, trash talking, and nostalgia.  It was great.

Interesting. I thought the Retron 5 couldn't play games when they where attached to something else like the 32X or Super Gameboy. I guess they updated it to let you do more with it.



FYI GameStop is selling these at $100 where most other places sell it for $140-160.

I don't have one yet. Might get one from GameStop.

Or continue my search for a used one at like $50.

A word of caution:

I bought a Retron 5 so I could play all my games on a newer TV with no input lag.  So far, every TV I've tried it on has had comparable lag to just using an original console via composite, making the Retron pretty much useless to me.  Beware.

I have heard setting the tv to "game" reduces the lag experienced.



But then again.  I am still rocking a CRT and have my PVM just waiting to be tagged in.

With regard to the 32X acting as a pass-thru, I think the R5 was compatible with that right out the box.
It's just that I only found out about it now. :P

For me it's a matter of convenience and a huge space saver.
Yeah it's an "emulation box with flaws", whatever. I knew that going in. There are no deal-breakers here for me. Pros outweigh the cons.

I mean just the other day I grabbed a handful of Mark III carts as well as My Card Mark III games. Plugged in my Tototek cart adapter in the R5's Genny cart port, and off I went. Easy.

At 100.00 it seems reasonable, does it have any video/audio output options other than HDMI?

Haven't purchased much games lately, just waiting for Street Fighter V, but i did get this late Xmas/Bday gift. Only 1000 of these were made.

It is a statue for the game Bloodborne

Interesting. I thought the Retron 5 couldn't play games when they where attached to something else like the 32X or Super Gameboy. I guess they updated it to let you do more with it.



FYI GameStop is selling these at $100 where most other places sell it for $140-160.

I don't have one yet. Might get one from GameStop.

Or continue my search for a used one at like $50.

At 100.00 it seems reasonable, does it have any video/audio output options other than HDMI?

I'd only be interested if there was an update that lets you play roms from the SD and the price was less than $50.

Though it doesn't quite meet your price point, if you might as well just use an ouya and wii controller adapters to do that.

Apparently, the person had written to them and asked a question to which they responded by sending a catalog of game paks. There are also a couple of old kiosk brochures too. Pretty cool really.

HDMI only, but I have one of those cheap downscaler converters (HDMI2AV). Somewhat surprisingly, it works fine with it when tested on my old composite-only CRT TV.

Original Xbox Pickups - Stubbs the Zombie &amp; House of the Dead III by xelement5x, on Flickr

So the local gaming store was doing a Valentine's promo which is 20% off local co-op games and I had some credit to spare so I grabbed theses guys:
Stubbs the Zombie: Rebel Without a Pulse
The House of the Dead III

I'd gotten extra lightguns for the Xbox at the thrift awhile back and had been searching for HotD III at a decent price, so this was a no brainer and is in great shape.  Not much to say about this one except classic zombie shooting.

Stubbs was one I always kept meaning to pick up but have had a hard time finding so I decided to bite the bullet and pick it up there too.  It's been rising in price over time and I figured now was a good time to jump on it before it got worse. 

Both are complete and in very nice shape so I was very happy to have them at a decent price.

Found this at a pretty good price. To bad the box is a tattered shell.

I liked the morta kombat DC cross over. And finding this CE was a nice surprise.

Power blade for the famicom.

And the show black sails looked interesting. Will find out over the weekend.

And here is possibly the biggest guilty pleasure. Transformers Kiss Players. For those infamilior with the spin off google it. For those in the know. Well. Bs bs bs. I like the figure both the girl and optomus. Also the girl is a wonderful mix of G.I Joe and Transformers.


Will probably pick up the other two figures from this line later. This was the more expensive one I wanted to knock out of the way first.

Almost forgot about this pick up. Found it for $30. Which I was holding out for an affordable copy. I only wanted it as t was a variant cover by Fiona Staples whom I enjoy her art as I am a rabid Saga (image) fan.

This comic series picked up in price when tumors of a tv show started circulating. Had to wait over. A year when the tv show was no longer a thing and the price of he comics dropped to more affordable prices.

Make sure, they're all laid out dress right dress.

Nice pick up!  I saw you went to Magfest in another thread, I don't know if that means you are close to or from Maryland, but I am trying to find one locally too, so I'd be curious as to where you scored it.

When you have a government job and the old color you have on is around your neck lol.


You have a government job? I hope that you enjoy it. Most people I encounter who work for the government seem to hate their jobs... and possibly their lives.

I honestly do enjoy it. Many of my co workes including my mentor verbally declared their hatred for their job.

But where I currently am at in my career is exactly where I wanted to be since 2008. Why that date?  I did an internship with the VA's VR&E program in my home town. I was elated to learn that in my chosen area of study I could potentially work with fellow Veterans and help them towards employment services.


I imminently signed up for graduate studies in psychology and graduated quickly. I would have graduated on May 2009 BUT I ended up being deployed to Iraq once again. It was my last deployment prior to my 8 year contract ending.

I then worked for the state of Texas as a VR Counselor for three years upon graduation with the end goal to obtain a VA position in the same field.

Last May I achieved that goal and have been employed as a GS-11. This coming May I will be off my one year probation and jump to a GS-12 pay grade.

I know many here take slight jabs at my posting. Spelling and so forth. I have and could explain how my ramblings of incoherent dribble could constitute myself as to holding a degree let alone multiple degrees from a University.  However unless someone truly wants to know I'll refrain from at this time.

To answer your initial question. Yes. I enjoy my job as I am able to continue serving fellow Veterans with their rehabilitation to civilian life and employment.

Sometimes I feel overwhelmed as my job feels like quick sand when I feel have to many loose ends to tie up. I mean heck on averages I meet with 4-5 new Veterans applying for benefits where entitlement determination and die processes is needed the same day I met with them. On top of the 163 Veterans currently on my case load. 1/3 who require monthly contact face to face and the rest every six months.

This is not to mention the amount of money and goods that are delt with daily who Veterans attending training hat need to be authorized verified and submitted.

However these are simply aspects of the job that does not include the psych social and therapeutic counseling I proved my Veterans for a 45 minute to an hour or longer session.


I have had on one day a Veteran threaten to find my home of residence and kill me then another Veteran offer me weed "the hook up" imminently after ending the threat of violence. (Of which security was involved he was found to be carrying a K Bar and he is now required to be escorted on and off this facility. Oh and I closed his case as he was clearly not compliant with MH Treatment and was not feasible for employment services.


Then there was the Veteran I meet with today for application. Great guy. We Rouen out we where in the same part of Iraq the same year (he was EOD Navy). Turns out we both go to the same TBI clinic as well. Granted my two instances of experiencing a TBI pail in comparison to his. He was breath and clearing a home made bomb lab that went off as his team entered. I at lest got to be in a vehicle that cushioned my decent back to earth when the IED went off under my butt.

I'm very very happy to hear that we have those working in the VA that actually care. Caring is hard to find these days anywhere. My father in law and brother need folks like you running their cases.

I got it from a guy who went to MAG, but he was from Georgia. I'm actually from NJ, so it was a couple hour drive to get it back home. Best of luck on the hunt though, I feel the best places to source stuff is from places like MAGFest for sure- just be ready to pay market price because people obviously know what they are selling.

I have been saving/ talking to my co-worker for 4 months. Said he had a old turbo unit, and games. Told him I was interested if he ever wanted to sell it all.

We spoke, and I admitted it was a somewhat expensive proposition. He looked up prices off ebay and said that was all too high.

He said he wanted 300 and asked that I not get rid of any of it. I told him its a deal.  Best Day EVER!

agreed. I do have a loose that I think I am for sure going to raffle baffle off. Because I don't need 3 copies, haha. But it is extremely cool to be able to play most of the games on both my DUO or the TGCD unit, and just get to have that part of history. Very cool. Works great too, haha.

Just overpaid on an Ebay auction (GB stuff) because I got in a bidding war frenzy.  Kinda hoped I would get sniped at the last minute, didn't.  Ah well, it was only like $15 bucks I'm quibbling over.  Looks like I got a nice copy of Kirby's Block Ball which is what I wanted, and some other crap but all in the protective cases.  So I got some extra cases out of the deal too.  I just wish the other stuff was worth something to re-sell.

You can just send it to me. Ill give it a good one :P Nice pickup though. I fear I may have made a mistake on putting a bid on this as high as I did. But its a cool T shirt.

The other games I got were Tamagotchi (no interest really), Home Alone 2 (the kind of game I try not to have around if I can help it), Battleship, and Wave Race.  Wave Race is the only other one I might kinda want because it's a 1st party Nintendo title, but it doesn't look mindblowing to me.  Kirby in good condition and the extra cases are worth the money though.  If you or anyone else is interested the other three games I mentioned (even possibly wave race, lemme try it out) for a couple bucks, shoot me a PM.

I saw those Splatterhouse shirts in my travels, pretty cool!  You will look all GQ smoov in that for sure.

I played the 2600 back in the 80s but never had one. I went with the Jr because of the 80s look (playing with a videogame console not a piece of furniture). Favorites games Megamania, Pressure Cooker, Pitfall, River Raid, Enduro.

I've been after that Parodius Deluxe Pack for eons. Maybe this will be my year.

There is an UK/English release of that too although it's been censored.

I just got in this PC-98 notebook from Japan. It's a PC-9821Na13. This is one of the models that has the ability to use the FM sound a lot of games use. This is also a later model so it has a nice big screen. Usually when you see these on yahoo Japan the screens are messed up but I made sure to get one that had a nice screen. I plan on installing a Compact Flash hard drive on this. Now I have the big 4 Japanese computers- X68000, FM Towns, MSX2+ and PC-98

Although I am familiar with the other gaming computers you mentioned thanks to Game Sack I am rather clueless to the PC 98. Could you elaborate more?

@Medic_wheat while it was similar to the things such as x68k and other things of that nature.  NEC also produced their line of computers.  Their first one being the NEC PC88 and then this one being the NEC PC 98. It was to a lot of eroge visual novels that have been featured on both the pc engine and the saturn.  Things like Dead of the Brain, Steam Hearts, Yu-NO, Desire, Eve Burst Error and things of that nature.  It was their 16/32 bit computer and had quite the color palette to really bring the characters to life.  Here is a picture from eve burst error(http://www.mobygames.com/images/shots/l/473043-eve-burst-error-pc-98-screenshot-wow-looking-stylish-marina.gif).  Depending on the model they will either have 3.5 inch floppy drives, or the 5.2.  This is an important note because some of the games are in different types of floppy formats, so that is also something to take into consideration.  For example, Dead of the Brain 1 is on 3.5 inch floppy while the 2nd game is on 5.2 in.  That is about the extent of my knowledge.

While I may not know the entire library of this computer in particular, however, PunkicCyborg will be able to possibly elaborate on the specs moreso than I could.

The PC-88 and PC-98 computer line was much more popular in Japan than X68000 and FM Towns but it doesn't have as many arcade and action type games as those other computers. There's also a lot of different models and not one system that does it all. You don't hear about it as much from westerners because it scares off a lot of people from getting into it and most people just emulate the games instead. There's also TONS of porn games. If you see computer pixel art from some 90s JP pc game of some anime babe on tumblr it probably came form a PC98 comic adventure game. There's a couple cool platformers, puzzle and even a couple shooters I'm mainly interested in playing

Punkicyberborg and Tknijn


Thank you for providing more details regarding this computer.


It's seems to be much like the Marty and other computers used for JP gaming emulation will be the easiest and more approachable way for me to experience these games. I have yet to dip my toe in it.


I guess it comes down to my preference for system games where it is much less likely to need extensive knowledge of computer systems and repair to enoy original hardware/games.

The extent of my PC gaming as amid was Blood and Duke Nukem 3D which would cause the family computer to crash at times and lead a ban on using the expensive family computer that was ment for taxes and home work to be used in such a matter.

Yeah I don't recommend getting real Japanese computers if you want to just check out the games. They are all emulated pretty well and a lot of the games are in Mame, anthologies or ported elsewhere

I feel you are correct in this assessment. I'd have no attachment to the way in which I would play these games and possibly enjoy t much more due to the ease of use.


I this way I feel emulation is a good thing. It can preserve games which have increasingly become harder to find, not in the public eye due to the system it was one, or the way in which they where ported over/made to be played is nearly impossible for your average game player.


This is why I think that those who are adviid collectors of these gaming computers, arcade PCBs, and gaming systems which where not main stream are important. They can preserve at times repair or desire for these older systems/computer to be repaired. Other wise people would simply toss these old computers in a e waste recycling bins.


In my mind a designated computer gaming area is needed with accessibility and ease of use. Other wise they will just sit and collect dust like some sort of trophy or oddity that is point at remarked upon but never enjoyed or used.

Yes it is region free. I am playing it on a UK console.  The copy I got came with a CD Audio and personally I think the OST in this game is pretty decent.

(http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m113/secretsociety1/B2175464-A965-4659-B6DB-E5F25B920C46.jpg)

I was pretty bummed out because raiden 4 and Raiden Aces never made an official appearance in the UK so I can't really compare V to those games.

you start by selecting 3 ships Azuma, Spirit of Dragon and Moulin Rouge,  All have a different stats such as less speed but more armor, more attack but less speed etc and a basic missile attack.  Each ship also has an energy bar so once that is depleted it's game over.

You then select the laser weapons (Bend or Catch Plasma, Wide or Swing Vulcan, Lightning or Charge Laser) you want to pick up and how it reacts in battle.  There are 3 types (red= Vulcan, blue = Laser and purple=Plasma) and each can be leveled up to 10 by collecting the desired power up.

There is something called a cheer meter which once fully powered up you can summon another raiden ship to provide a brief few seconds of arsenal although you can still take damage.
Plus you have your standard bombs.

During each stage there is an option to branch out to different paths but I haven't figured this out yet.

The Left and Right Triggers switch between different side panels, the Right is in-game dialogue relating to the action and game story while the left side shows stat data.

Graphics wise it's not very pretty, graphics look like something from the ps2 era and I think Gradius V and Ikaruga look better. The transition from completing a stage and going to the next or loading of a certain boss area also looks a little amateurish .  It's basically a low budget release with barely any 2D sprites or artwork in-game.   You get a normal game mode, boss mode, gallery, options, leaderboard.

Even though it is a vertical shooter the game rotates, zooms in and out etc.  Feels like some of the inspiration is borrowed from Treasure and CAVE games.  You also can collect medals and when you are not shooting if you leave the fire button alone for a few seconds the medals gets sucked towards you and even power ups zone in on you in this mode.    You can also collect fairies and that blue mascot thing for points but I don't know what other features they offer.

You can see the first stage here although video is 30fps the game runs at 60.  I don't think it's worth grabbing an xbox one for this. I don't know if it will turn up on any other console or even hand held but I think it's been tweeted that it will come stateside and EU/UK too.  Also the game has unlimited continues which if you do use em all can quite possibly complete the game on the same day.  I find that after the first stage which is quite short the levels that follow get longer and bullets start to rain down.  I actually find that I keep coming back to this and try for that impossible mission 1cc.  Unfortunately I have had the game crash on me several times and you will lose your progress if that happens.

The packaging, I wish they still provided with manual there isn't any and also both the game and music disc are placed into one single spindle and I found it really hard to remove the game disc to the point where it felt like I was going to crack and split the disc trying to get it out!

http://xboxdvr.com/gamer/Digichan2006/video/15452371


This is the stage branching but I haven't figured out how to branch out..

That's what I like abou this thread. It isn't like most where people post games and claim to have bought it for $40 with $80 worth of items.

Got me a new Neo Geo game.  Aggressors of Dark Combat (Gan Gan)  Obviously another fighting game but it's like Streets of Rage style fighting.  The game's major innovation is the ability to walk into the background, in a similar manner to some 1980s arcade fighting games like Taito's Violence Fight, SNK's Street Smart and Atari's Pit-Fighter. Because of this, unlike many other 2D fighting games, the game uses one action button to jump, and does not use the "D" button, unlike many SNK fighting games. Only two action buttons are used for attacking (punch and kick); instead, grappling and grabbing opponents is the focus of the gameplay: opponents can counter being grabbed and break free as well. Also featured is weapon play (another mechanic akin to beat 'em ups). Weapons can be picked up and thrown, or used in special and standard attacks. Weapons are thrown into the ring by spectators in the background.

Picked up some more Nintendo Power today.

Issues 68-79 amazingly all with posters and with rip out cards in the back of many issues.

(http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n119/medic_wheat/Comics/FA63CCC9-216B-4B57-8E49-0C3646D0568D_zpsokvxu6pz.jpg) (http://s110.photobucket.com/user/medic_wheat/media/Comics/FA63CCC9-216B-4B57-8E49-0C3646D0568D_zpsokvxu6pz.jpg.html)

Also found issue 100

(http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n119/medic_wheat/Comics/089EC009-BA15-41F4-8B06-6CB27DE3B15B_zps2jp2pz90.jpg) (http://s110.photobucket.com/user/medic_wheat/media/Comics/089EC009-BA15-41F4-8B06-6CB27DE3B15B_zps2jp2pz90.jpg.html)

Also with poster and what not. Now I have issues 1-46, 68-79, 100, the last two years what ever numbers those are and the finale issue. Maybe I can get a complete set?

The mouse guard looks nice and was $6 at a half price books store. Might be fun to read to my son once he gets a little older. Plus it is mostly pictures with little text so it could also be a fun beginner book for him as well.

Then there is the Zelda guid. A personal favorite in the series as well as far as GB games go from my childhood.

Cursory glance on the internet tells me there is also a few hard bound collections of his series. Might track those down as I just like hardbound books and TPB more.

I know I have a few of the individual comics of this series but I never really got into it. Mostly due to the difficulty in finding single issues and my lack of knowledge when the issues would come out. Granted I first saw these comics maybe seven years ago? 

Based on the art it always seemed like something that would adapt well as a animated feature.

At one point the price for a copy COB had jumped to something like $100 or more.

I wanna say it has finally gone back down as I visited a retro game store in my home town who had two copies. One for $35 (bought it) but no Manuel and another copy for $50 CIB.

It takes the consoles RGB signal and converts it to S-Video.
That XMD-3 device works with a whole bunch of Sega systems.


These are a couple comparison pics of the game Flashback on the Sega CD.

And, I got some Neat PCE magazines and a Super Famicom mag about Popful Mail. The PC Engine Fan ones are from late in the life of the system and cover pce and pc-fx games so they have been super fun to look through! The SFC one has some cool Popful Mail promo art I've never seen as well, one more thing for the Popful horde!

This past week was a good one.  A little bit of everything.


Karnov's Revenge/Fighters History Dynamite.  A decidedly average fighting game that borrows a lot from Street Fighter 2.  The game controls like a dream however and has some really good graphics.

EVERDRIVE!!!  Got this for $50 shipped full loaded!!  It even has the System Cards so I can finally play that Awful copy of Altered Beast I have.

3DO.  Never had the top loader version.  Years ago I had the front loader.  Cool system, I really love The Need for Speed.  So nostalgic and back in the 90's my mom had a Supra so I begged for this game so I could at least try to drive it.

Won this a short while ago on a local auction site.
The seller had specified no shipping, only collect.  I ended up being the only bidder. I'm not complaining.  :P

So obviously it's not in my possession yet, but if I get a chance I'll go and pick it up tomorrow.
It's about a 45 min drive.

Some dust on the case but overall it looks in ok shape.
The guy assures me it's in full working order, but that he did have it in storage for quite some time.
Most probably I'll have to at least change the belts. And hoping that there's some decent life left in that bulb.

I have a bunch of good 16mm prints, I'll give it a test with those.

I finally got a Tiger Road hucard at a non-gouge price which made me quite happy.  This completes the set since I had gotten the manual from nully awhile back and had been trying to find a chip at a decent price.  A World Class Baseball case was sacrificed along with the blood of the Sparky repro sticker for the spine, but I have no regrets. :-P

Now I only have a few more titles I'm looking for to match up with my manuals!

Been on a gameboy kick lately.  Here's what I got:

Pokemon Red
Pokemon Crystal
Cruis'n Exotica
Mega Man Xtreme
LoZ: Oracle of Ages
Super Mario Bros Deluxe
Kirby's Dream Land
Super Mario Land 2
Faceball 2000
Final Fantasy Adventure
Blue GBA SP console boxed

I haven't gotten around to playing them all yet, as I've been harshly addicted to the pokemon lately...but on those that I played, here are my thoughts.

Kirby is fun but very, very short. 

Super Mario Land 2 has pleasing graphics, but like the first game, I'm not a huge fan of the controls.

Faceball 2000 has...potential.  I'm gonna have to talk my Gameboy-playing friends (of which there are two) into trying out the multiplayer with me,  as I could see the arena mode being pretty fun.

I also have a few GBC repros on the way: Magical Chase, Shantae, Metroid II DX and Daikatana.  They're the ones you see all the time with "game" on the cartridge where "gameboy" should be.  I ordered some custom labels & I'm gonna see if the PCBs will fit inside normal GBC cartridges (except for Metroid II DX, which I plan on sticking into a black GB cartridge like the other "DX" games).

My next GB/GBC purchases will likely be Return of the Ninja, Crystalis, Kirby's Dream Land 2, Oracle of Ages...possibly Cosmo Tank.  Any other recommendations?

After seeing it on this very thread, I got my Raiden V today.  Game is great, really enjoyed my playthrough.

Also got the Puyo Puyo Tetris mix, cause it was also region free.  Very good as well, but I suck so bad at Puyo Puyo.

Thanks! :) It's Gekirindan. Pretty cool little shooter, I mean shewtie :P I'm a big fan of vertical shewties so I've been trying to pick up the rest of the ones I've really been wanting! Donpachi is pretty awesome and holds its own against Dodonpachi. Blast Wind is pretty great but I'd have to agree with you about being a little overrated. Im more a fan of Batsugun & Battle Garegga!

More Neo Geo Finds over the weekend.  All three games have incredible depth and a very steep learning curve.  Nothing cheap or cheese,  just very hard.


KOF 96, KOF 96, Fatal Fury 3.  I really like Fatal Fury 3.

I have a ton of DS games too.  While the sheer volume definitely ventures into collectable territory, the truth is most of the games on the system can be found for $10 used and $20 new.  Due to this, it's really hard to pass up on some great games at such reasonable prices.  I don't pick up many games made in the 80s and 90s anymore because it is cost prohibitive, but I buy DS games fairly regularly and understand why you do too!

No problem! Ive tried to keep the collection fairly tight with good games. If you havnt picked up Little Red Riding Hood Zombie BBQ yet I'd recommend it since its going up in price a little and is an awesome game! Barnyard Blast Swine of the Night is a super cheap, fun little game i just sorta stumbled across one day. Its like a mega man style run n gun game in a Castlevania like setting and you play as a Cowboy-Pig! Whats not to like!  8)  Plus you can get it brand new for like $6! Also, if you haven't played Monster Tale i'd recommend it if you like Mega Man style run n guns & metoird/Castlevania style games. Pretty awesome game!

Tons of great rpgs on the DS! Some of my favorites are: Sands of Destruction, Dragon Quest V, Golden Sun Dark Dawn, Radiant Historia, Black Sigil and now that im playing through Super Robot Taisen OG Saga Endless Frontier i'd definitely add that to the list! Great RPG!

I have a ton of DS games too.  While the sheer volume definitely ventures into collectable territory, the truth is most of the games on the system can be found for $10 used and $20 new.  Due to this, it's really hard to pass up on some great games at such reasonable prices.  I don't pick up many games made in the 80s and 90s anymore because it is cost prohibitive, but I buy DS games fairly regularly and understand why you do too!
Yeah, theres a ton of great games for ds that are still really affordable! I still have quite a few i'd like to pick up but i got most of the rest of the more expensive ones out of the way and have just been enjoying playing them. The big group pic is games ive had since they came out and the others i got in big picks ups the last couple months! As soon as i get caught up i'll probably start grabbing some more cheaper titles im after!  8)

Have any of you played the Viewtiful Joe DS game? Was curious about it. I liked the GameCube ones and wondered if it was as good.

If you like shoot em ups and can find Ketsui Death Label(its the game in the lower left of the big group shot) its pretty cool! Only others i have are 3 DS "Tales of" games.

Oh yeah, i hear Chronos Twins is good. I think it got a UK release.

If you like Tales of style like games and sgt frog there is a game called Keroro RPG: Kishi to Musha to Densetsu no Kaizoku.  It is super fun and plays very similarly to like hearts or destiny ps2

Here are my pickups for the past couple of months.

Purchased these from AliExpress.  The 386 in 1 for the Gameboy advance has some very neat titles on it, but also has some crap along with it.  There is a hack of the TG-16 Bonks Adventure on it that's very unique and fun to play.  I'd say 70% of the games on it are NES/Famicom roms and hacks.  Hagane is a repro.

(http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk317/jolsonp/SAM_0776_zpsdfpfzgqk.jpg) (http://s283.photobucket.com/user/jolsonp/media/SAM_0776_zpsdfpfzgqk.jpg.html)

More from Aliexpress.  The 150 in one is worth buying, hardly any crap on it.  There is a whole message thread about it over at the DigitPress site along with a complete list of games with it.  I have not messed around with the 400 in one too much.....its got a few gems on it, but at half of it is mostly weird/poor quality Chinese games on it.  It does have the faimicom game Thexder on it which is something I wanted to play on the NES for a while now.  I have not played the two famicom multi cards yet as I'm still waiting for my 60 to 72 pin converter to arrive.

Musha, Pulse Man and Bare Knuckle 3 are repros.  Quality is so-so.

Picked up Super Mario World:  Return to Dinosaur Park at the MWC this weekend.  Supposedly its the best hack of Super Mario World.  So I'm told.  I have not had a chance to try it yet.  Crackdown is not that great of a game, but I remember playing it a lot back in the day and I got it cheap.

More from MWC.  Finally got a copy of Mega Man Powered Up for my PSP collection.  I loved Iron Tank when I was a kid.  To me, the best part of Ikari Warriors was when you could drive a tank.  In Iron Tank you are the tank!  Just wish it was two players at the same time.  Looking forward to playing through it again.

^ Iron Tank (NES) is a fantastic game. Better music than the arcade, IMHO.

Legendary Wings would have been an absolutely stellar game of it wasn't for the repetitive boss fights. Honestly, it would have been better to just ditch the boss fights...maybe leave two of 'em in the game.

Not a purchase but I was recently given a small Sony Trinitron. It's only got S-Video and composite but my PCE is looking better on this than it has on any TV, with composite. Told my friend about it when I visited the other day and he offered me a 35” Sony Trinitron with composite, S-Video, and component for free. I really want to take it but I'm not sure I have room for it and getting it where I want to go will be a problem even after finding a stand for it. I'm very happy with the Triitron I have but I really want this one now... :/

That's what I did for my CRT that was on the side do the road. It was so heavy and such a pain.

Yesterday's mail brought me Summon Night 5.  The box is pretty neat (and unexpected), but it's unfortunate that it was used as a shipping box and not protected at all; mine arrived in pretty good shape and the shipping label came off okay, but I bet a lot of 'em won't be so lucky:

Post by: Necromancer on April 12, 2016, 05:28:59 AM
Physical is PSP and pre-order only, but the download is available for PSP/Vita/PSTV.

It may well end up being the last UMD release.  Though Vic's said that Class of Heroes 3 will also get a physical release, I suppose that'll depend on how long it takes for him to get it ready.  Sony ain't gonna keep the equipment running forever, especially not for a couple thousand copies.

Lunar for SegaCD & Vigilante for TG were bought from the forum dickface himself. Got some great deals even though he gouged terribly. :)

I also got Super Thunder Blade for Genesis and Sonic Adventure for DC (But I've tried 2 DC and they all bomb out on me at some point. Any tips? Should i just get a new one altogether or are laser changes as useful on a DC as they are on Duos? I want to replay through Shenmue this summer)

Also won Bomberman for PCE in the Tatsujin competition.

The vendor hall was massive, but i've heard other conventions are even bigger. I can only imagine. I'm glad I went and these should keep me busy for awhile.

Some heavy hitters in there but you are closer than me.  I've gotten most of the crazy priced stuff out of the way but a couple titles have kept creeping up on me unexpectedly.  Omikron was like a $20 or less game for a long time until Bowie died, and then it spiked bad (just like Shenmue did) but I'm expecting it to continue dropping so I'll put it off until later unless I find a deal. 

At least most of what I'm missing is cheap cruft, so if it goes from $5 to $7 I'm not gonna cry.

Street Fighter III Double Impact

This was my favorite dreamcast fighter until I played capcom vs snk millinium, and is one of like 6 remaining dreamcast games in my library.

I loved Street Fighter 3, but by then most of my friends had stopped playing fighters, and I never invested in a fight stick, so it also marks the decline of my time spent on playing fighting games. I never picked momentum back up. I haven't popped it in for years, as I've re-acclimated to using fight sticks and still don't have a dreamcast option for that

Picked up a bunch of PC games and strategy guides recently with a few more on the way. Got that Alone in the Dark 4 for $2.68 with shipping and it was sealed with the promo flashlight still inside! While I don't remember liking the game much on Dreamcast I love the first one on PC and decided to give it another try.
Sadly I can't get the 2 Windows 95 (Rocket Jockey and Interstate 76) games to work well because none of the VM software I've used does it quite right and when I set up Windows 95, 98, or ME on my oldest computer it always crashes after installing the video driver even though the card and driver should be fully compatible. That 7th Guest guide will have to wait until I get another copy of the game too because I went to rip my old CDs so that they would play better in DOSBox and one of them can't be fully read. Same with one of the Interstate 76 CDs... :/

Was at Chiller Theatre today (NJ horror con) and randomly picked up a 1992 EGM Video Game Buyer's Guide since it was just $5 and had Bonk on the cover as well as 6 fridge magnets made with images from arcade marquees. I always buy some magnets from the guy that was selling them but I think he outdid himself with the new expansion of his video game line!

How do you like the game? I wanna play it but haven't picked it up yet. Was a little turned off by the lengthy live action cut scenes.

I do like it a lot.  I think it might be a bit short but then I did play it almost 12 hours on my first day.  The graphics are quite glitchy at times to the point I was thinking about returning the game for something else.  I don't normally watch much TV but I found myself gripped on the live action cut scenes.  I am not sure if it is a problem or whether it is just filmed that way but I found the cut scenes kinda jerky.  The cut scenes are strreamed from the xbox network or you can download it all in one 75+ gig cut scene pack.....  The game is's beautiful to look at but ugly at the same time.  Your character develops the more chapters you complete and you can further develop his skills and experiment with them by finding fractals in time (Chronon Source's) that the more you collect can unlock advance techniques to play around.  My advice is not to play it like shoot and duck, shoot and duck.  You will get more fun going full head on into the action and then running for cover to regen before heading back into the fire!  That gets the adrenaline pumping.  But it's only saved for key moments.

Overall I am liking the game I find the shooting scenes quite sparse as its mostly exploration and very heavy on narrative.   There is only about 5 chapters and towards the end of the night I completed 3 of them.  those live cut scenes kick in after completing a chapter.  They really only offer development of the supporting characters and are around 25+ mins each.

Found some good games at 2nd and Charles.  I posted a review of the place in another thread  Good prices and availability.  Heart of Darkness could be my favorite game on the PS1.  It is a cinematic platformer which is my favorite game-play style such as Out of this World, Heart of the Alien, Flashback, OddWorld, etc.  I remember waiting for this game to come out and it being delayed from 1992 to be released on the PC, then the 3DO, then the Saturn in 1996 but the Saturn died so it wasn't until 1998.  Well worth the wait and cannot recommend it enough.  BC Races is a below average racer but made by CORE which did some amazing things on the Sega CD.  The Sega CD game was cheap and in great condition, no clue on the game gear game but $1 why not?

My 32X collection is almost complete.

BC Racers is weird because they censored the Sega CD one, but a year later they decided it was fine for the 32X?  I have no clue.

Gravity Rush for Vita & Pacific Liberator for Wii

I have been wanting to get a copy of Gravity Rush for awhile and I had a coupon for 20% off from Gamestop that was about to expire so I grabbed this guy at a relatively cheap price.  Still need to dig out my Vita so I can get some quality time with it though.

Pacific Liberator was even cheaper at about 70 cents so I figured I would gamble that bit of change to mess around with it.  I will say there are worse games, it feel like it could be the successor to the Strike games (Jungle/Desert Strike) and it controls decently enough.

I haven't played it that much since I got it but at first glance it is kind of disappointing compared to the other games. Everything feels cramped because of the tiny gameboy screen instead of wide open and Keen is somewhat hard to control. Once you get used to this there is also the fact that the one level I've played so far is a confusing mess, even with the arrows that tell you where to go it still usually isn't obvious where, exactly you're supposed to go or what you're supposed to do. The level also feels like it goes on for way too long.
There are also a couple of differences with the other games in this one, in the original games you had a jump and a pogo button and to fire you'd hit them both at once but in this one you get a jump and a fire button and to pogo you hit down and jump. I kind of like this compared to the originals. Another difference, although minor, is that you can't freely roam the world map, the arrows just take you on a predefined path between levels.

Played some more of Commander Keen and I was a bit too harsh with it earlier. After I passed the first level I never had any problems with any of the other 8 levels and the game was a lot of fun; played it right through to the end. Earlier I was playing on a GBA but playing the game on the Gamecube Gameboy Player made a big difference too. The computer games are probably a bit better but if you like them then this is also worth checking out.

It does. Limited Run Games said a while back that every Vita game they put out will be both region free* and PSTV compatible.

*Think all Vita games are region free at default.

Used the last of this week's spendings on the final season of Star Trek DS9 Season 7. Back in the day I lost track of the series right after the Dominion invasion so this has all been uncharted territory for me. I shouldn't have waited so long. This ends the DS9 DVD marathon that began last February.

Also DL'd Zelda ALttP on new 3DS tonight. Never had a portable version of it before. Looks beautiful on the 3DS' screen. The colors really pop in true pixel mode.

Sigh dang. Sort of do not want to buy it off the secondary market for the trending $80. However, the longer I wait the possibility of it jumping to around $120-150 grows like some of the other releases.

WELL. Guess we will see what happens in the next month or so.

Yeah, unfortunately, the vita copy had only like 2,500 while the ps4 had 5,000. I'd say if you want it, go for the ps4, assuming you have or are buying that console at some point. It should be a bit cheaper.

I don't have one currently. But I plan to at some point.

But seeing how I picked up a PS TV for like $20 bucks recently used I had wanted to increase some Vita games. But apart from GameStop I never see Vita games for sale at other places.

Honestly I would just keep an eye on your local CL.  I was patient and regularly searched.  Eventually I was able to get a CIB minty unit with several couple games for about $150.  Still kind expensive but I was happy with it.

Nice Craigslist find right by my house.    Got me a Vans Shoe box full of “Nintendo Tapes”.  It popped up and I called it immediately.  It’s nice that sometimes you can grab games for a good price before a reseller nabs them and then throws them on eBay for $50 apiece.  After I grabbed them the guy called me back and said his phone and email exploded.  He said one guy was going to drive down with $150 from Long Island and had no idea they were worth so much.

  I paid $80 for these games, 22 carts, so $3.63 a cart which I will pay all day long regardless of title.  Rygar is fantastic; Werewolf is also good with pretty grafx and responsive controls.  Captain Planet is utter Dog Shit.  Spiderman has some really funky controls but there are a lot of moves and inputs for just 2 buttons.  It has some cheese to it but you can cheese the enemies too.  I got both Metroid variants now so that’s cool.  The Zelda carts still has working saves too, amazing.

Nice Craigslist find right by my house.    Got me a Vans Shoe box full of “Nintendo Tapes”.  It popped up and I called it immediately.  It’s nice that sometimes you can grab games for a good price before a reseller nabs them and then throws them on eBay for $50 apiece.  After I grabbed them the guy called me back and said his phone and email exploded.  He said one guy was going to drive down with $150 from Long Island and had no idea they were worth so much.

  I paid $80 for these games, 22 carts, so $3.63 a cart which I will pay all day long regardless of title.  Rygar is fantastic; Werewolf is also good with pretty grafx and responsive controls.  Captain Planet is utter Dog Shit.  Spiderman has some really funky controls but there are a lot of moves and inputs for just 2 buttons.  It has some cheese to it but you can cheese the enemies too.  I got both Metroid variants now so that’s cool.  The Zelda carts still has working saves too, amazing.

Yeah, I just got a nice bundle of NES box/manuals and one of them was the classic series Metroid for NES.  I just don't want to deal with getting another copy since I already own the original, seems like a waste of money.

My friend came over to bottle our last few brews and gave me this:

(https://s32.postimg.cc/6u48xccxd/ps3.jpg)

Said that after maybe 30 minutes the console would lock up and then beep and/or flash an LED several times and that if I can make it work again then I'll have myself a PS3. No idea if I'll be able to get it working again but I look forward to at the very least trying to trigger the error with GTA IV so I can hopefully maybe see what the problem is. Haven't played GTA since Vice City. :D

Completely random Goodwill in the Milwaukee suburbs had Casiopea's greatest hits (1990) in the CD section, sandwiched between Nickelback and a copy of the Titanic soundtrack. What are the chances???

And Mati - you should totally get a Vita. I haven't put mine down since MGC. It's worth it for PS4 remote play alone,

(In case this requires explanation)

Casiopea was (is?) a Japanese jazz fusion band that, from the late 70's through early 90's, was the jerk-off material for every video game music composer of the era. I'd argue almost more-so than Yellow Magic Orchestra. Just listen to these and tell me you don't feel like this sounds like every game soundtrack from '86 - '92:

https://youtu.be/VMWQo9DQ0cU

https://youtu.be/tV8TIyQftDE

The guitarist was a frequent collaborator with Sega's SST Band, also. There's another band called "The Square" (aka "T-Square") that does basically the same thing. Great stuff to jam out to.

they're $100 used on Amazon, I'm sure CL can beat that, or bundle or something.

Got Valis 3 and Gunstar Heroes from Solaris-Japan and Elemental Master from Amazon. Really stoked to have all of these; Elemental Master and Gunstar Heroes in particular I'm happy about having because they're some of my favorite games on the system. Valis 3 is pretty fun as well.

Picked up a "new" CRT TV to replace my "old" CRT TV.


I got it a few days ago but just now brought it in from the trunk of my SUV and brought it upstairs. It has a DVI with split audio inputs. So I plan to use a DVI to HDMI cable and pick up a audio extractor so I can pipe the audio from HDMI only drives into the tv.

Or maybe into some speakers. Have yet to decide. I had planed to keep the "old" tv as it does still work for light gun games like Duck hunt which I would play often with my wife. BUT she demands I get ride of it. Sadly Goodwill (locally anyways) won't take any tv older then 10 years. So maybe Salvation Army or maybe lost it up on a local retro gamer FB page for anyone who wants it. Granted these are both free TVS I got. The "old" one having. A "working" free sign as it sat on the side of the road at an apartment complex and the "newl tv being a free tv from a local retro gamer.


Have yet to hook up anything other then the cable. Log day super tired.

"New"

I like that tibia wide screen and I want to say it is slightly bigger screen size then the old one. This one being 34" and the old one 30" I think. It just BARELY fits on my dresser but looks snazzy. I also now feel I have down enough work out today lifting this beast on my own. Slowly pushing it up the stairs and what not.

So I picked up a copy of Saturday Morning RPG from eBay for the Vita

(http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n119/medic_wheat/Video Games/1A8F939A-B5EB-42BD-9397-B0D551ACFB62_zpsookc3hda.jpg) (http://s110.photobucket.com/user/medic_wheat/media/Video Games/1A8F939A-B5EB-42BD-9397-B0D551ACFB62_zpsookc3hda.jpg.html)

I noticed that on the back of the cover it had a hole punch which seemed odd.


So I tweeted the people at Limited Run games. Mostly to make sure it was not some sort of fake.

They responded saying those are marked like that as they are given to Sony employees. Which are not to be sold and comes out of their profit as they have to pay for them (I guess some sort of greasing the wheels of Sony employes).


They asked for the sellers name which I provided just now.


They also asked if I would be interested in sending in the game back to them to be exchanged for a regular copy.

Now my inner retard is saying two different things.


1)  offer to send it in for possibly a game or two I didn't get like Breach and clear along with the replacement copy.

2). Keep it as it is now "more collectible" lol


Sigh. Both responses fell 20% dickish.

I like that they have a warehouse full of replacement copies and also send out an unknown number of additional copies of their "limited" games.

I want a physical copy of Wii U Fatal Frame, so I don't care if there are 50,000 of each 2,000 copy game if they can make my request happen; but I did get a chuckle out of the thought.

I would flip out if they or ANYONE did a physical release of that game for NA.  I am happy it was release YES but as a download?  Even after the UK got a physical copy?  That just made no seance to me.

Lol, that was a surprising pertinent misspelling given the context.

If you plan to open your copy I'd swap with them, if you're just going to keep it sealed then I'd keep the punched out one since technically they are even more uncommon.  Vic Ireland had the same problem with the games he has put out through Gaijinwork. 

Sony employees get proof copies they're supposed to evaluate, but it appears most of them just keep them sealed and flip them on ebay as an extra source of income.  If you think about it, that's an extra $50 or so for a new PS4 game or the like for something that was freely given to them, so they're probably doing quite well  :?

Yeah after I provided the persons eBay ID they checked. It seems the seller has been selling dozens of games all new.


Don't know if I just got someone fired from their job. But it's not like I knew these type of copies of a game existed let alone that it was not suppose to be sold.


As for keeping it sealed or planing to play it. Meh. I only got it because I picked up New N Tasty and found this other game from limited run at $54 instead of the typical $70-80 on the reseller market.

I think I will just send it in to be nice. Maybe like some have said they will toss in another game with it. It will make my trying to pick up these limited physical edition vita games easier.

Some super cheap pick ups. Rounding out that Wii library every little bit I can. I already picked up the new star fox but when I saw someone had already traded in the bonus first run copy of star fox guard and that used it was $8 I figured why not. I had thought it was not for resell but I might be wrong.

Got the PSP AV cable just because. Granted that would mean I dust off the PSP. Have been tempted to pick up a used PSP go for remote playing sort of like the PSVita TV. But since I now have a PS BITA TV not sure if there would be any plus side to that original idea.

What can I say Joe got me interested in the series on the game sack episode he did.

Have yet to get the OS1 game or the PS2 sequel. The GBA game is a maybe.

I have the PS2 version but haven't really played it yet. This year at MGC I picked up the Japanese PS1 version. It's way cheaper than the overpriced US release and easily playable despite the Japanese text. Go for that one instead.

I already picked up the new star fox but when I saw someone had already traded in the bonus first run copy of star fox guard and that used it was $8 I figured why not. I had thought it was not for resell but I might be wrong.

Got the PSP AV cable just because. Granted that would mean I dust off the PSP. Have been tempted to pick up a used PSP go for remote playing sort of like the PSVita TV. But since I now have a PS BITA TV not sure if there would be any plus side to that original idea.


Just a heads up. That Batman Vita game is unplayable without a PS4 dualshock controller.

Although I remember asking the game stop employee if he knew the vita game I was buying worked for the ps tv.

His response was "they all work"


No. No they don't. It's actually a big issue with the mini system with most people. Granted there seems to be a hack now but that just made finding a system with firm ware below 3.55 a pain. Granted now that it is a legacy system and once Sony stops all support and patches for it someone is bound to come up with a way to hack it perminitly.

Wow, that employee sounds like an idiot... or he was trying to trick you into buying more shite.

That'd be awesome if there was a hack once the online support for it officially dies since there are quite a few games that would work without much issue. Its just that for whatever reason they "aren't allowed" to work because Sony said so.

I had some great Sega Genesis & Sega Master System pickups recently! California Games, Zany Golf, Kawasaki Super Bike, Tinhead, and Warsong!  Local shop was running a promo so I got really good deal on them all. I'm especially happy to finally have Warsong as it is one of those game that I have wanted for a long time.

The whole PS TV thing was so frustrating.  It was such a good idea when it first came out.  Being that I have little interest in portable gaming, I was supper excited to be able to play Vita games on my big screen.  But then the actual execution of the product was such a fail.  I'm just thankful that I wasn't an early adopter and I was able to pick one up for super cheap.

These pickups were from last weekend.  Simple Garage Sale I visited late at night as they were closing down.  Stuff is still out there to be found.  All this stuff was just piled in a box and I still can’t believe it survived the day.  3 complete NES systems, Power supplies, 5 controllers, a ton of decent games, boxed Mike Tysons Punch Out, a complete SNES MINI with some good games (Love me some Super Punch-Out) and some other odds and ends, 1 lonely Sega Genesis Game, one shitty game gear game, and a N64 Game.   Got an extra Model 2 Sega Genesis/Sega Genesis Power supply, PS2 Power Supply, a MK Plug in thingy, a weird light gun I have no idea what it goes to but has a Genesis Controller input, random power supplies and cables.  I paid $200 for this stuff and will just sell the extra stuff to cover my game increase.

Oh wow, I never knew about that included letter... Certainly up there now as far as "collector items" all things considered given where Tyson is today. Hah!

Anyway, both are great games, the original NES and Super PunchOut for SNES. I played Super PunchOut again not that long ago when I was working on my SNES YPbPr/Component mod, it takes about ~3 days to master the boxers' patterns and then you're pretty much a champ. Still helluva fun game to play all the way to the end, but in comparison, the NES game was much harder overall and given the final battle with Tyson, his knock-out flash-punches for the first minute, and going back to the beginning if you'd lose, unless you learned about the ole 007-373-5963 password cheat to instantly get matched up with him again (we learned those cheats much later BITD without Internet).

Definitely, NES PunchOut I think is one of the greatest 8-bit era games with so much replay value, everything about it was done so well! You could fire it up any time and it's still fun to play!

I don't even play the game and I think Tracer is pretty adorbs.



Anyway... I got new Laserdisc pickups from the thrift yesterday!

(https://c4.staticflickr.com/8/7675/27194977371_e54c2674b4_z.jpg)

Ren & Stimpy Classics I & II, plus a Family Dog animation collection.  $2 each and they both looked neat enough so I threw down for them. 

It's rare enough that I find LDs at the thrift anymore, these were actually put out the day before so that makes sense why they were still there.  They had a lot of other stuff at the same price too.  Some Amazing Stories LDs, Bill & Opus, generic Disney movies, Beavis and Butthead Collection, plus all the Indiana Jones movies in widescreen/letterbox, Waynes World 1/2 and some more.  There were about 20-30 movies in total and it was an eclectic mix for sure.  They will be 50% off on Saturday so I might try and go back then to grab some more but I don't really need more LDs....

such interesting memories playing Goonies II. Love/hate, the platforming was nicely done but the exploration part was poorly executed. It wasn't until I first visited gamefaqs that I was able to finish this epic.
Title: Re: teh "what did you buy today"-thread
Post by: johnnykonami on May 26, 2016, 10:02:20 AM
Goonies II was a biggie for me growing up.  My cousins had it, and my friend and I rented it over one weekend.  I myself didn't own a NES until like the Playstation was out, so my brief encounters with it made it even more intriguing.  I think it was probably the beginnings of my love affair with Konami music especially from that era, and even though it's clunky as hell now, at the time I thought the 3D exploration segments were really cool.  It's one of the earliest "Metroidvanias" in that it has the persistant world, a map, items needed to progress and so forth.  And I just ate all that stuff up.  The other factor was the weirdness of it being a sequel.  I had the Datasoft Goonies game on my C64, but I don't think I thought it was a sequel to that at that time.  Now of course I know about the original Goonies game Konami released on the Famicom, but when we were kids, we thought it was like a sequel to the movie just made as a video game.  Which is a cool idea in itself, it's kind of how I consider Ghostbusters: The Video Game to be the true Ghostbusters III.  Coupled with the fact that it now has Annie the Mermaid in it, it just seemed like this weird supernatural/fantasy element out of place from the movie.

Anyway, I did eventually buy it on Ebay as a "dumb buyer" because I foolishly expected since they listed as "new" that it would be.  Instead they just assembled a separate box, game and manual and called it new.  Didn't even try to shrinkwrap it, the box was dented, and my game has tiny toothmarks or something on the label.  Honestly it's not that bad, and I would have opened it anyway, and I spent less than $10 on it (I think it was something like $8) so it's not the end of the world.  But I'd like a cleaner copy one day.

I haven't played myself but I watched my son for an hour or so. It seems quite like team fortress 2 but looks more fun. I'm not a massive fan of that sort of thing so I'll probably skip it.

Goonies 2 is a great NES game, but Goonies on Famicom is better.  It always was a super cheap game, so if you like part 2 there is no reason to pass up on part 1.

Interesting story....I picked up Goonies 1 for my Twin Fami at MGC this year. I always kinda wanted the game but wasn't prepared for the unexpected memories that came flooding back. Having thought I had never played the game before previously (only Goonies 2) I started to remember playing Goonies 1 on a Playchoice 10 at a local grocery store in the mid 80s. We would go there every morning before school for donuts with my mom and I never failed to bug her for quarters so I could play Metroid and...this game apparently. For years I've known that Goonies 1 only saw release in the arcades but I never put 2 and 2 together. I just assumed that it was Goonies 2 I was remembering. ...Such a nice reunion. :)

Goonies one was also on nintendo vs for arcades.I remember playing it at a chuck'e'cheese as a kid.I enjoyed the game allot to and disappointed the nes didn't get it.Even today it's still not known why it wasn't released in na for the nes maybe it was a license issue.

it's all parts that need to be slotted together so there are bits that are a bit of a tight squeeze and because it's all plastic some bits almost broke so be a little careful when piecing it together!
It's part of the namco vs capcom games.  None moving parts!

Got it from here same site same seller and I think same price.  It comes in pieces tho and mine don't quite look the same as that as the ear feathers are angled differently.

Glad to pick up some Sega stuff. All everyone is after is anything Nintendo. The PCE game I grabbed is Psycho Chaser; every PCE game I buy is a shot in the dark as I still don't know enough about the library, but for $5 this title looks pretty cool  :)

I had that last story limited edition box set for the wii but somehow I just didn't like the game.  The british voice acting just didn't suit the style of the characters or mannerisms so I was put off by it.. but then that's just me...

IMO the Wii doesn't have much going for it in general haha. I've been looking for a copy just because I like the box art. I didn't think I'd pick up a LE but a guy had it decently cheap so I grabbed it. It looks like a really nice game at least lol

I've been getting enjoyment out of mediocre RPGs lately so hopefully this won't disappoint.

I am actually playing the wii right now and getting the hell into Harvest Moon Tree of Tranquility.  I can't stop playing it now even though the game has been sitting in storage for years. Somehow I can't stop trying to find ways to make more cash but this is both a chore and stressful yet I cannot stop !

Valkyrie figurine

A while ago I was hoping that there was a Valkyrie action figure but the best I could find was this posable, mostly snap together model. I really like it even though I don't have the skill or supplies to make it look proper.

(https://s33.postimg.cc/eh0a9wbl7/valkyrie.jpg)

Comes with some alternate parts, including a blank face and different eye decals:

edit: I see now that this appears to be the same model you were also considering, if it is then it will not look like the picture in the auction after you put it together unless you paint it; the Amazon listing I bought mine from had a picture that looked the same as the one in your link.

Interesting story....I picked up Goonies 1 for my Twin Fami at MGC this year. I always kinda wanted the game but wasn't prepared for the unexpected memories that came flooding back. Having thought I had never played the game before previously (only Goonies 2) I started to remember playing Goonies 1 on a Playchoice 10 at a local grocery store in the mid 80s. We would go there every morning before school for donuts with my mom and I never failed to bug her for quarters so I could play Metroid and...this game apparently. For years I've known that Goonies 1 only saw release in the arcades but I never put 2 and 2 together. I just assumed that it was Goonies 2 I was remembering. ...Such a nice reunion. :)

This story warms my cockles.

It wasn't until I recently picked up a 150-in-1 NES cart that I realized a Goonies 1 game actually existed. I always thought the NES game was a spiritual sequel to the movie.

When I was a kid I also thought it was the spiritual sequel too.  In hindsight, it was stupid to put the 2 on there in the U.S.

Valkyrie figurine and bomberman' 93 pencil case

Because I love these games.....


That Valkyrie fig is amaze-balls.  Details? ( new/old, where to buy, how much)


it's all parts that need to be slotted together so there are bits that are a bit of a tight squeeze and because it's all plastic some bits almost broke so be a little careful when piecing it together!
It's part of the namco vs capcom games.  None moving parts!

Got it from here same site same seller and I think same price.  It comes in pieces tho and mine don't quite look the same as that as the ear feathers are angled differently.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Yujin-SR-Namco-x-Capcom-Figure-The-Legend-of-Valkyrie-/262450249916?hash=item3d1b4100bc:g:7G8AAOSwxYxUuO-t

I was looking at this one too which I think is more suited to the pce

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LEGEND-OF-VALKYRIE-Plastic-Model-Kit-WALKURE-13cm-NEU-OVP-Valkyrie-no-Densetsu-/391429860238?hash=item5b2309ab8e:g:Q5QAAOSwZ8ZXCBPD


Very cool, thanks for sharing these!  I've got a Wonder Momo figure I picked up awhile back but the quality is rather poor.  That one you purchased looks quite nice, might have to look into nabbing it.


On the pickups front I found 2 GameCube controllers and a copy of Zelda 4 Swords for the GameCube at the thrift.  Nothing amazing but the controllers are in solid shape and seem to work fine.  Disc is a bit scratched on the game but everything is complete.

Birthday swag.

(http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n119/medic_wheat/Video Games/3008D2EA-EA01-4CBB-8043-FF2976324E20_zpsukhi8igp.jpg) (http://s110.photobucket.com/user/medic_wheat/media/Video Games/3008D2EA-EA01-4CBB-8043-FF2976324E20_zpsukhi8igp.jpg.html)

Because I have recently gotten into interesting if not practical charging stands for my junk.

(http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n119/medic_wheat/Video Games/2B202FAD-A1BA-4EA5-BDC8-591D7D53C0A5_zpsphndkx6d.jpg) (http://s110.photobucket.com/user/medic_wheat/media/Video Games/2B202FAD-A1BA-4EA5-BDC8-591D7D53C0A5_zpsphndkx6d.jpg.html)

Trying to keep up with even ONE comic series is such a PAIN. I am more or less up to date with Saga at the lest.

(http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n119/medic_wheat/Video Games/93B36AA8-0D8B-4EA4-9520-CC6EFA228670_zpslqnw8apu.jpg) (http://s110.photobucket.com/user/medic_wheat/media/Video Games/93B36AA8-0D8B-4EA4-9520-CC6EFA228670_zpslqnw8apu.jpg.html)

Human robot relations.

The DS and PS Vita game were from my wife. The rest I picked up during the weekend. Local retro store had a buy two get one free so picked up the Saturn game. And two others in the next pic. The GS games I had a similar coupon.


(http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n119/medic_wheat/Video Games/894D2BF9-3FE4-41B0-A2D6-AF26DFCC3FD7_zpsxypn6ccu.jpg) (http://s110.photobucket.com/user/medic_wheat/media/Video Games/894D2BF9-3FE4-41B0-A2D6-AF26DFCC3FD7_zpsxypn6ccu.jpg.html)

Like I said charging stations and stands. Granted I doubt the ps tv NEEDS a stand. The big box SNES I got because honestly I don't have the dang mouse. NEVER find it locally. Figured hey comes with the box and game. Sure it is missing the foam insert which will probably NEVER be found separately but what the hell.

(http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n119/medic_wheat/Video Games/9432C53A-477E-4EBF-8A7E-9B4078A414A3_zpsicnvlmmh.jpg) (http://s110.photobucket.com/user/medic_wheat/media/Video Games/9432C53A-477E-4EBF-8A7E-9B4078A414A3_zpsicnvlmmh.jpg.html)

Have been getting into something of a Anime kick recently. Sigh the VHS was only $2 but I had wish to have known it was sub and not dub. Granted it was a blind but off Amazon and its "new". So chat bitch all that much honestly.

(http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n119/medic_wheat/Video Games/CDC05DC0-AEFC-45FC-BF41-F67EDB0182AF_zps2z2jgtfs.jpg) (http://s110.photobucket.com/user/medic_wheat/media/Video Games/CDC05DC0-AEFC-45FC-BF41-F67EDB0182AF_zps2z2jgtfs.jpg.html)

Lastly since I got rid of my previous CRT for this HD one I  ow found my self in need of a VHS player  since the previous one was built into the TV I got rid of. Found this for only $30. I like that I can record to both VHS and DVD. It even had a HDMI output. I have yet tot try out the VHS recording but the DVD part works just fine. Honestly I planed to attempt to record off my Netflix account but was unaware that a error screen would pop up saying I can't do that. I wonder if it is only baring me from DVD recording and if the VHS would serve as a way to record. My original intent mind you is to play around and record on a few blank VHS tapes for fun. Namely the 008 vs Devilman dub stream of the OVA they have on Netflix. Call me crazy but I think it would be fun to watch it on a VHS tape.

If anyone knows if My crazy Netflix recording schem is impossible let me know. As I have yet to get a blank VHS tape to test out.

It's up to 35?36? 

They just went on hiatus. There is a hardbound TPB with issues 1-18 that's decently priced and good big book quality.  Probably vol 2 will be out soon for the delux big book edition.

Hit some garage sales over the weekend and also got a few things in the mail recently:

The one in the generic case is Mario Kart Double Dash and Alone in the Dark 3 completes my set of big boxed Alone in the Dark games for PC! J.B. Harold Murder Club never really had much appeal for me but after I started getting back into old DOS games it seemed like a must have.

It made me wish I'd gotten up earlier since it was the only video game on a table full of random items, maybe there would have been more. All of the other Gamecube and Wii games were a good deal too but cost me 3x as much each.

Some stuff I forgot to post. This is from awhile back. Don't have a PS4 yet but I like to pick up games I'd like to play when they are on the cheap. Or will probably become to expensive if I didn't pick up sooner.

One more 32Xgame to add to my library. Only have two left I want.  Which is space harrier and after burner.

Loving it her I find vita gas for less then $10. Especially when it's a game I loved on the PSP.

And one more Wii U game. Would have thought it would be a lot cheaper used since it was a launch game. Weird.

I think an Import version from japan might be pretty hard in Japanese.

Also this game has been on my mind since planned on getting a VGA adaptor for my Dreamcast. It has been nice.

Yeah the price of Typing of the Dead is going up, for a US copy anyway. Japanese copies are dirt cheap for obvious reasons.

I pre-ordered Caladrius Blaze (PS4) on PA today. Couldn't resist at $35. Looks like a fairly fun game. I had considered the PS3 version in the past but the price had held me back.

Typing of the Dead has a crazy JP box set that's like the game and keyboard as well which is pretty sweet looking.  I've got the US version though and that's what I've used.  While we're on an "of the Dead" kick I will mention that pinball of the dead is actually really fun as well.

If you want to play Typing of the Dead, just get the PC version.  Released in the USA, sells for nothing, and has network play.  Used to play it all the time with my university roomate.  good times.

Well, I wasn't going to buy any Turbo for awhile (or something dumb like that) but I was able to get Blazing Lazers (no manual), Keith Courage (no manual), Galaga 90 (no manual) and Bonk's Adventure (cornplete) for $75. Had to take it all for that price. Bonk is a dupe though, so it will be available.

I wish I had more of the GI Joe comics when I was a kid.

I still remember this awesome issue where... Major Bludd blows up a station wagon of nuns with a bazooka.

Or something like that.

 Anyway.

Some recent pick ups, some tv shows i bought for nostalgia, a few wii u and playstation games, and a bunch of [trading cards].
Kinda sad to see Star fox just tank the way it did in sales, but after playing it i can't say people made the wrong choice.

To bad the WiiU port has washed out colors compared to the Wii port. Luckily you get both copies with the game.

I loved the Nintendo VB.  I still have my copy of Video Games Magazine that boasts about it and it was a very exiting time 1995.  The end of 16 bit, right before the advent of 32-64 bit machines and with the Ultra 64 way off in 1996 we had the 32 Bit PORTABLE VB!!!!  Hell it might even hook up to the Ultra 64!!!  I bought one back in 1996 after it's death for $50 and each game brand new for $5.  I let a friend borrow it and never got it back :(.  I finally picked one up for $60 (eBay pricing on these things are crazy do not over pay) and everything works.  TELEROBOXER is as good as I remember it and I wish the VB really expanded its library and succeeded .  I remember thinking how cool a copy of Doom would be, especially with link cables, with proper depth of field and that cool Red Hell inversion.  Starfox would have been great and this system never hurt my eyes.  It was ambitious and I wanted it badly to succeed.  Wario Land is stellar as well, loved every second of that game.

The Neo Geo collection Grows.  Found these three US AES Games for real low cheap in Manhattan of all places.  You never know.

World Heroes is very good but very dated fighter.  Nothing special but its still diverse enough to have fun.  Cheap game too I think I paid $20 and I'll pay that all day for US AES.

This game is a motherf*cker.  Grafx are amazing, music is great, and the strategy needed to beat this game is borderline memorization vs improvisation.  I like having an indestructible orb that you can fire in all directions and you better master that technique or you are dead.

(http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a104/evilevo8/Neo Geo Stuff/IMG_1118_zpsv4bcpokc.jpg) (http://s10.photobucket.com/user/evilevo8/media/Neo Geo Stuff/IMG_1118_zpsv4bcpokc.jpg.html)
  This game is a launch title as well and shows its age with its grafx and hard panned sound FX that SNK abandoned thank god.  It's basically the poor mans Metal slug.  It has multiple weapons that you can choose to on the fly (wish Metal Slug allowed this) and some pretty easy AI to attack as well as blatant ripoffs from CONTRA (It tires so hard to be Contra) it's still a good game just don't pay too much.

Having Cobra Commander start out as a blue non-human was dumb. Why was his skin caucasian and his eyes human when he wore the hood instead of the helmet? Then he turned into a snake. From what I hear several years after the movie another company started up the cartoon series again and restored Cobra Commander. I have never seen these. Was the animation different looking? The comic always had much better stories. Like when Cobra Commander showed emotion when his son was in a coma at the hospital.

I couldn't bring myself to watch more than a few seconds of the later season(s?), but no the animation did not look the same, even though it seemed that it tried to. I'm assuming that they could no longer afford the same animation studio, so they settled for lousy American animation instead.

After dic entertainment took over.The story was using magic to give cobra commander a body again.I guess the writers at dic were smoking some thing to think that up  :lol: Yeah in the comics cobra commander was a more believable character.

Cobra Commander comes from a land of snake people... I dont see why not!
Prince Adam is just as jacked as He-man and no one knows the difference... ok!

Getting a good CRT really helps.

Never more so that most people just throw them away or you can get one for around $10-$40 depending on size.


Granted I have see one or two people locally try and sell their CRT TVS for $100 plus with comments like "great for retro games" or "vintage tv"


Those sellers make me laugh.

About the most i've seen for a CRT here is about 35 bucks, and it's for one of those flat screen composite up front, component out back that they used to make shortly before HDTV caught on. Shame my SNES doesn't want to cooperate with it though, my copy of Raiden did something similar to what happened here, and now i'm just afraid to put anything else in there.

Yeah better to have a couple good ones that you have to store than be potentially stuck with something bad later.

This is the hd one I picked up sometime last year: http://www.cnet.com/products/sony-kv-xbr800/specs/#p=sony-wega-kv-34xbr800/

It's alright. It is quite heavy though, and getting it in the house was the tricky part.

Since you like vs. fighting games, I am curious about what you think of the SNK ports on PCE.

I don't know if you were particularly fond of the Neo Geo family vs. the Streetfighter family... but still, I am curious because I have very little interest in the genre myself, so I can't really judge them.

Of course. Of course it would.

Luckily I have not attempted to play it. But with the development history of this game and my having backed it. I sort of wish the game stayed in development hell.


Oh well. Maybe they will patch the game or something and the game turns out to be better hen the early reviewers have said it to be. The

Been busy this week. Soldier Blade was slow boat, so I've been anticipating it for a couple weeks now. Should get to give it a proper go this evening. Gauntlet IV was actually part of a larger lot separate from the other 3 Genny games here. All filler, but it was only $20 for the entire lot so I wasn't going to pass it up.

Yeah, there are some great tunes on there for sure.  It's one of those common games whose price I knew would keep climbing, I figured I'd just go for it on a whim.  Ebay showed a loose copy going for 29.99, so I guess I did alright, plus I got to see how clean the actual cartridge was first, something I've been burnt on before from Amazon/ebay/etc.  Definitely wanna do more flea marketing now, even if I'm a bit late to the party.  This place also had The Adventure for $19.99, which I used to own and hope for much cheaper since I've beaten it a couple times and know it's not as good of a game.  I've never played through Belmont's Revenge though I beat the crystal castle (or whatever it is) stage after a couple tries.  Passwords are a pain but it's still cool I can continue another day either way.

Seny Wega TV model KD-27FS170.  Has 3 sets of input: composite+S-video, component, and front composite only.  Works.  One problem: I don't have a place to put it.  I am quite attached to my Vizio LCD TV (which works with everything but the 2600, and sadly doesn't support 240 on component) and I don't have any room! I suppose I could evict the old 13" Commodore monitor, get RGB to Component converter for my C128D, and set the TV on top of my C128D although I don't know if the 30 year old metal box was ever rated to hold a 100-lbs CRT TV.

From Walmart a few days ago on sale @ $19.99. My way of saying good-bye to Konami as we once knew it. Feel a little bad though which I didn't notice at the time, but this reprint was apparently done to excise Hideo Kojima's name from the cover and elsewhere in Orwellian fashion (know the feeling, heh)...

Compare to previous cover versions with "A Hideo Kojima Game":

Some decent pick-ups from Virginia this past weekend.  I went to go see Guns N Roses and on the way back stopped into Sage Mantis and then 2nd and Charles.  Picked up Magic Drop III for the MVS.  Looks and runs great and a wonderful 2 player puzzler.  Dinosaurs For Hire is a good one from 93 and has all that 90's Self-Aware "tude" we all know and love.  If you start the game it starts you right at a later boss and if you actually beat it the game just says it's kidding and begins at the beginning.

That's some bullshit, seems there's always enough dick cops for that. I did get let off once of all the times, but if they take the trouble to stop you, yeah, you're pretty much gonna get a ticket... Then there are the REAL dicks like this f--ker right here who actually caused the driver (Sandra Bland) to switch lanes to get out of his way, but she forgot to signal... He had no probable cause justification to turn the situation into an arrest, but his "feelings" got hurt - she just broke the unwritten rule about not disrespecting ahole cops on a power trip and it wound up costing her her life...

You should flaunt some kinda thing that shows you served in your car somewhere, may not work, but I bet it might on some of those guys.


Edit:  Also picked up Downwell and Sanctuary RPG: Black Edition on Steam today for peanuts.  A couple days ago I also got Pinball Arcade season 3 and Lakeview Cabin Collection.  Pretty happy with all of them.

Downwell:

Japanese developed action game, you drop down a well and shoot things with your rocketboots.  There's shops with upgrades and you try to get as far as you can.

(http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/2c8cc97d71fbaac3902bdfa7373b8830-650-80.gif)

Sanctuary RPG:

ASCII character based RPG, looks pretty slick to me.  I love stuff like this.

(http://www.retrodomination.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/2014-07-05-17_42_50-SanctuaryRPG-www.BlackShellGames.com_.png)

Lakeview Cabin Collection:

Spent the most time on this one so far, I love it though.  Basically little 70's-80's horror movie vignettes where you have to solve puzzles and run away from the killers.  If you're a fan of this stuff it is totally worth the sale price of $2.49.

Naw the cop was just doing his job. I am more upset that I made a stupid mistake that lead to a ticket. The cop was in the right. I guess I had hoped since I was polite and cooperative he would just give me a warrning to be more careful about making a complete stop when leaving a parking lot. Considering the street I got on had a red light and there was no traffic incoming. He just happened to see me do a rolling stop and turned on the right from a stop light to stop me. Honestly when he did stop me I wasn't even sure what I had done. Would have been nice if he said what I did before disappearing and reappearing with a ticket all written out. Must have been a while since I have gotten a ticket. I don't remember cops asking for work numbers work addresses and where you work when writing a ticket. Seemed odd.


The cop in the video you posted. Meh. At most it seems like he should have kept his cool with the yelling and opening the door. I could be wrong but at the point where he opened the door to remove the motorist might have been tossing the line. When she refused to follow the orders give to her is when I would have just called it in requested my partner and done what ever team up deescalation I might have been trained to do.

The thing is he could tell she was pissed about being stopped. So his asking was a loaded question. If he was just asking to let her vent then he should have just sucked it up let her vent her pissy attitude and said well here is your ticket and ended it. But instead he took it personal and escalated an already tense situation

However, on a personal note I HATE it when cops come up behind me when driving speeding up making me feel as thought I am slowing them down for going the speed limit. I usually move over if possible or hope they just pass me up as them speeding up for no apparent reason makes me feel uneasy. Or it could be having done muiltable combat convoys and thinking even if just for a moment it's a suicide bomber. As silly as it might sound.

The cop in the video you posted. Meh. At most it seems like he should have kept his cool with the yelling and opening the door. I could be wrong but at the point where he opened the door to remove the motorist might have been tossing the line. When she refused to follow the orders give to her is when I would have just called it in requested my partner and done what ever team up deescalation I might have been trained to do.

The thing is he could tell she was pissed about being stopped. So his asking was a loaded question. If he was just asking to let her vent then he should have just sucked it up let her vent her pissy attitude and said well here is your ticket and ended it. But instead he took it personal and escalated an already tense situation

Yeah, I think we mostly agree on that. Changing lanes without signaling is a traffic offense that's punished by a fine, not arrest. Now if you fail to produce a driver's license, registration and insurance, etc. during a stop which is all that you're legally required to do, that could lead to an arrest as required at times by the law. But a citizen smoking a legal cigarette in their car, which is their property, is not an arrestable offense! His bullshit charge was "resisting arrest" but for what ? He never had probable cause for any kind of criminal act in that exchage to justify use of arresting powers by law! Anyway, it offers the obvious point, as tempting as it is, it's not in your interest to smart off to a cop even when you're in the right (which she was as far as her rights and smoking in her car).

one controller was listed as flaky, replaced the internal with spare from "part" controller I kept around and now I have 4 working controllers plus a mouse.  (8 total controllers... where did I put my 5 players adapter?)

Eliminate Down and Megaman are repros from AliExpress.  Kirby is a fun game despite looking like a game for young kids - very bright and colorful.  The psp games I found used at a pawnshop.

Half of these I got in trades.  Oddworld was from Limited Run Games.  Finally gave in and bought Darius & Dead or Alive from Play Asia since the used copies I found were priced just as much as the new copies.

The Gameboy SP is a russian made clone system from Aliexpress.  Build quality is just as nice as an official Nintendo SP.  The screen is just as bright, if not brighter than the AGS-101.  I also got it new for a fraction of the price of a used AGS-101 system.  Only downside is that the battery is not removable unless you open the system up and it charges through a usb cable.  No big deal as I use the ac adapter on my Samsung phone to charge it.  Highly recommend it.  It also came with a 999 in 1 game cart.  About 50 GBA roms on, the rest are a mix of NES and chinese home brew games with a lot of duplicates titles.

Some recent game pickups, and goodwill pickups that I will cycle into games.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v298/Enternal/IMG_20160625_222840_zpsnza5xhxn.jpg)

Ivy the Kiwi was a 35 BIN. The price on this game is soaring, I've had an open backorder of 4.99 for the game @ gamestop for 8 months now. I expect them to raise the price on this game and then finally have copies "appear" in their inventory just so can cancel my order around that time.



Paid 28.01 for these at goodwill. My friend got a bag of 8 as well for 20.26. I knew they had value, but didn't realize how expensive some of these get.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v298/Enternal/IMG_20160624_153336_zpsn6v6e5id.jpg)

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v298/Enternal/IMG_20160624_153344_zpsfexa418y.jpg)

All of mine except for the Lucy Ghostbuster was complete (missing stand)

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v298/Enternal/lucy_zpsegc3gstg.jpg)

My friend had Duke in his bag, he couldn't find the gun and I suggested maybe it was in the suitcase.... and it was  :clap:

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v298/Enternal/Golgo13_zpspdncikoq.jpg)

The maid's are from Queen's Blade and you can change parts of their outfit upstairs and downstairs  :shock:

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v298/Enternal/IMG_20160624_162457_zpsjia2xaxj.jpg)


I also had the milk parts to this rabbit girl from the same Queen's Blade toys... you can guess where the milk shoots from  :lol:




Pro Tip: Do you have too many hot babes knocking at your house, just put one of these near your front door and those women pests will be no more.

Battle mania or trouble shooters sure has gotten expensive for the import copy. The JP only sequel is even worse.

Thank god I have the 2nd Battle Mania already (Korean version though) - I thankfully got it when it was way cheaper  :dance:.

I'm really on a GBA kick lately - to me the GBA is the successor to the SNES.
The games with the stars are Densetsu no Stafy 1 + 3 (missed the 2nd part  :( ). Really nice 2D platformers.

Sadly I don't have a pvm to compare so I cannot answer your question.  I just went for this because it was affordable for me and I didn't need to order any surplus cables and connections so I was able to continue using my existing stuff.

I did just recently Buy a Famciom Disk System. I was happy to find out that the Disks I bought prior all work. Also the FDS Stick works for the most part.

Sega Mega Modem and Mega Answer Ten Key Pad!

So after I managed to snag the Mega CD Karaoke unit awhile back, I figured I might as well go full bore crazy when it comes to the MegaDrive accessories.  It took awhile of looking at auctions in Japan that weren't overpriced but eventually a seller appeared with both a Mega Modem and the 10-key starting at about $10 each, I won both of these pretty close to that and then shipped them right over along with a couple other things!

The Mega Modem goes on the back of the Genesis and uses the EXT port, and even comes with a screw to help hold it place similarly to the Power Base Converter.  The Ten Key Pad has a regular Genesis/DB9 connector on the end and plugs into the controller ports of the Mega drive.

There are a couple ways the modem itself was released: standalone, bundled with games, or like the bundle I have now which was with a package called the MegaAnswer which was used with a Japanese bank.  To my understanding, the rest of the MegaAnswer system involved a printer if you wanted to print receipts, and a custom cartridge that was used to connect to the bank in question.  Then you would use the custom 10-key controller to navigate their bank system on your home MegaDrive.  By the way, there are actually more than 10 keys on the pad.  It gets its name from the 10 numeric keys on it like a regular office 10 key pad.

Yeah it a cool floppy disk 128Mb flash cart. It connects to the Famicom Floppy Disk System in two ways. Here is a pic. One way it connects to the RAM cart like in this picture. The other way take little modding to make a cable and on the drive. That will allow you to connect the Floppy Disk System into your computer to copy off the games and save games.

True no scan lines.


But it works great with my various systems.

PS2/3, PSTV, XBOX, 360, Game Cube, Wii, Dreamcast, Saturn, Analouge Nt, CMVS, PGM


I will need to check how it works with my other systems.

Mostly anything 16 and 8 bit. Some 32 bit systems

But that's why I have a PVM stashed away. For games that look best with scan lines and need light gun support. Granted the PVM has remained in its peel an box every since my move.

Rare Popful Mail Pop-Up Counter Advertisement

I finally got a new incredibly rare piece of Popful Mail history! This is a pop-up counter display from Japan to promote the PC-88 version of the game. First one that I've ever seen and I'm glad to add it to my ever growing Popful Mail collection.  Starting to run out of space a bit actually :P

I got a new mouse:  Logitech M705

Actually it was paid for by my company.  But I like it just the same.

Palit G-Panel.  I just have a thing for silly uneeded pc parts like this.


Sweet!  I always wanted a LCD panel for my computer, since the 90's.  Never got one or found one that was even affordable really.  Now I just kinda want one to sit somewhere for virtual pinball DMD.  I'm gonna look into that again.

I really bought it last week, while I was in TN, but I dropped $30 bucks to get Korg Gadget and Bilbao and Abu Dhabi, which I was wanting since I got my ipad but was sorta waiting for a sale.  I don't really like spending this much on "apps" but in this case it seems like a good purchase.  More relevant to you guys is the fact that one of the DLC synths they released was co-produced by Namco and it's called Kamata:


I want it pretty bad but I'm super cheap and am gonna wait for the next sale.  Besides, Gadget comes with another game synth called Kingston in the meantime:

Picked up a common Neo Geo AES game.  Nothing special but was super cheap in NYC of all places.  I will use it as trade bait.

The next find was quite a surprise and I am quite grateful for it.  This was a free pickup from Craigslist.

DESTINATION II CRT MONITOR GATEWAY 2000 Model: DL31-1

Huge, it's 128 pounds and works perfectly.  It has so many settings to adjust every aspect of the screen and a degaussing button so no discoloration.  I hooked up my Dreamcast to it via VGA, perfection.

Picked up some stuff here and there.


First up got this video switch box. I feel it will pair Nicky with my PVM and what nots.

I also plan on putting together a fun little 70s Hi Fi audio set up. This might go towards that. Meh for $15 plus shipping it was an okay $35 buy off eBay. Most definitely cheaper then most audio video switch boxes and has that sexy industrial vib that gets my dick hard.

That's my TV of choice as well.  Some people don't like it because it doesn't  have scan lines

True no scan lines.


But it works great with my various systems.

PS2/3, PSTV, XBOX, 360, Game Cube, Wii, Dreamcast, Saturn, Analouge Nt, CMVS, PGM


I will need to check how it works with my other systems.

Mostly anything 16 and 8 bit. Some 32 bit systems

But that's why I have a PVM stashed away. For games that look best with scan lines and need light gun support. Granted the PVM has remained in its peel an box every since my move.


I run one of these as well.  Love them but yes no scan lines.

Laughing so hard at the auto-cigarette lighter.

I had some fun mail arrivals today. Blazing Lazers manual from Ele to complete our previous trade, Prince of Persia (PCE) from Japan and Strike Gunner STG (Super Fami) via a trade. That got me to get off my butt and remove the tabs from my SNES as I have more Super Fami games in the mail (lots of fun ones imo).

Thanks guys and Ya sirhman, it detached and same with the speakers, the Walkman took many trips up to the cottage as my mom and dad listened to there hits in the big old station wagon aka grocery getter.

Yorx  was a low end brand and I think I got it for Xmas from santie Claus that came form consumer distributing. I loved it but it slowly broke down over the years. The sound is really nice though brings back memories :).

Yes, Yorx was a low end brand... Kmart carried various stereos/TV's by Yorx here in the States.

My first BOOMBOX was a Toshiba model (purchased on sale at Kmart!)...but it did not have detachable speakers and was not as kool looking as the one you have :(

Toshiba RT-6015

So I picked up this CVM off "offer up" yesterday. It was $20. Doesn't seem to be any where as good as MY PVM. 

(http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n119/medic_wheat/Video Games/10A777F0-4781-469A-AA56-37DA1AB7B67F_zpsbrh9gt4j.jpg) (http://s110.photobucket.com/user/medic_wheat/media/Video Games/10A777F0-4781-469A-AA56-37DA1AB7B67F_zpsbrh9gt4j.jpg.html)

This one seems to have a built in speaker however I haven't figured out how to connect the audio

I always have to adjust the vertical. Can't seem to get it to show the entire screen without part of it "bending" at the top.

Tempted to pass it along to someone else in the area who might need a PVM. It's 19 inches.

Yeah it's mostly dead in my area to. It actually took the seller two months to response to my message about this tv.

I forgot all about it until he randomly messaged me saying it was still up for grabs. His being 16 minutes from my house helped.


The dude might even buy one of my extra Coke machines this Saturday. Or so he claims.

PVM is production

BVM is broadcast

CVM ?  Closed Circut ?

Not sure.

It has some of the same features as the PVM. Adjustments for vertical (no horizontal) with BNC connectors in the back. Not sure what kind of connectors the audio side has.

I am sure someone more knowledgeable can answer this.

Damn Sparky!  That boombox looks awesome!

I always keep an eye out for them too when I'm hitting thrifts and I've found a couple cool looking ones but nothing like that.  I mainly try and grab Walkmans if I find them cheap and in decent shape, but it's been a couple years since I found anything good.

Filling some holes in my Castlevania library lately, besides getting Belmont's Revenge a couple of weeks back, I finally decided to buy Castlevania: The Adventure Rebirth on Wii.  Technically we have a Wii, but I bought it through my Wii U's built in Wii mode.  Shame they just didn't move it to Wii-U natively (I was kinda waiting for that) so I could be use the Wii-U pro controller instead of having to fish out an old school wiimote and even bother with Wii mode at all, but it's the only place you can get this game.

I'm a veteran of Castlevania: The Adventure on GB and beating that game when I was a kid was a proud moment for me.  Rebirth is waaay easier.  The connections to the original are very loose, eyeball enemies, shooting fireballs from your whip, that's about it.  It has music from several different CV games so far, Belmont's Revenge and Bloodlines (or Circle of the Moon, same song in both) have both been featured.  I'm only on Stage 3, but I'm liking it so far.  I'm a fan of the Developer, M2, and I have already also bought the Monster World Collection by them on 360 (for the "official" Monster World IV Translation especially).  I plan to buy Contra and Gradius Rebirth too, when funds allow.

So buying Wiiware games was a block as I said, because I really feel they should just be available on Wii-U.  I know from doing QA myself things would have to be retested, new controllers, different resolution, etc. etc.  Besides that, Konami is being, well, Konami right now and I didn't expect any resources for that coming from them.

So the next thing I bought has also been another block for me - DLC for Castlevania HD.  It's a game I love, and I bought back in 2009/10 or whatever it was and played the hell out of.  Xbox 360.  So even though I've gotten a great deal of mileage out of my 360, I am loathe to purchase any multiplayer games on it because I have never appreciated the gold membership thing adding an extra cost just to play something with friends.  Plus now, there's nothing to warrant getting one.  I don't have an Xbox One, friends aren't playing 360 anymore, and multiplayer on Castlevania HD is surely dead as a doornail.  So I had to really want to play some single player of it.  Oh, and the DLC costs something like $40 bucks altogether.

This game is only really available on 360 or PS3, and I had secretly hoped it would show up on Steam or a disc containing all the DLC.  No such luck though, again, Konami is probably done with this game forever, and we know they have basically bowed out of games entirely at this point.  So I went ahead and said to myself I would buy $10 bucks of DLC for it a bit at a time because I do really like the game.  Just a shame I have to relegate my play to single player.  I wish it had couch co-op at least!  Apparently the PS3 version does, but I hear you have to play zoomed out the whole time (crazy!) and it's full of bugs/issues.  Anyway, I bought the Simon Belmont DLC, the Castlevania 1 themed stage, Maria (because Rondo) and the first music pack.  Haven't beat it yet despite having tons of gear from before, but it's been a while since I played it and I don't have any help now!  I will probably drop some dough on the rest, but a little at a time so it doesn't sting as much.  I wish some of this old stuff would go on sale!

So far I've enjoyed Macross and and Rayxanber the most. Macross is a little on the easy side though.

I suck at all versions of raiden! It's right up there with Tatsujin on the frustration list for me.

Hellfire is good. Love the music, haven't spent too much time with it though.

Damn nice shooters! I've wanted Super Raiden for awhile now. Get those extra levels that aren't in the hucard.

Rayxanber II is great too! The title screen and tune when you pause are awesome, but man is it hard. I want the third game in the series

Few pickups from some local shops and a Kijiji ad over the weekend. The Super Scope is cool, box is alright condition but its like new with all the plastic wrap and stuff inside. Too bad I sold all of my SNES'.

My uncle also dropped off some MVS boards that he got for free. Ones really big, the other is pretty small. Both single slot. Might get a cab for one and consolize the other?

I really like that R-Type version, and have played it quite a bit - I keep it in my SP by the bed :) Crystalis is one of those RPGs that I feel like I would love, but have not put any serious time into. Dragon Warrior II I always hit a wall, and never really finished it. I enjoy what I've played, but it's been years and years since I've gone back to try it again - my last playthrough attempt was the GBC port.

I never knew about EDF until I tried it a year or so back at work. It was in a bin of games they had on hand to play when we have downtime, and I gave it as shot. They only have a retron 3 on LED/LCD tvs so I never really had a good feel for it, but I remember it being very hard. What are the moon ruin games? I recognize super double dragon, gradius, and thunder spirits, but the rest are greek to me.

Other games are Dezaemon (shooter), Xardion (platformer, with predictably, a large mech), Puyo Puyo, a Hokuto no Ken fighting game, a Sailor Moon fighting game and a Sailor Moon puzzle game. Most of these are pretty low value.

Savage Reign.   OK Fighter.  I like it, very fast game play and weapon/projectile based.  Very Hard

Super Side Kicks 1 Japanese Variant.  I have the USA Version but this one was a steal at a price so I grabbed it.

Not entirely Video Game related but close enough. Went to my churches rummage sale.  They gave you a box you could fill for $5.  I think I did pretty good.

Lots of Nintendo stuff for me in the past month or so:

(https://s32.postimg.cc/uzxl9j2p1/IMG_0597.jpg)

Bought a used pair of OEM red nunchucks instead of a brand new one so I could swap out the buttons and stick with my black one and, despite being disappointed that you can't just unplug the cord from the board and swap that too, I'm pretty happy with the result.

(https://s32.postimg.cc/rhlld51t1/IMG_0602.jpg)

Also, 3 new BDs from Code Red! Did some caps for another forum from these discs and you can check them out here if interested: Family Honor, Necromancy, Mardi Gras Massacre.

Spirits & Spells is a 3D platformer where you can alternate between a witch and a devil. I only played it for a few minutes to test the disc so I don't know how good it is, but I couldn't resist a cute looking, horror-themed platformer! There's also a GBA version.

Interesting, I've never heard of the game either but I looked it up as well and the gameplay vids of it seem cool.  I may need to nab it for Halloween time, the soundtrack itself seemed cool.

Played this a bit more today and while it's not a bad game it does seem to have a few problems that you might expect from a game like this. The camera, which you can't control at all, gets a little annoying at times. You die if you get hit once and the hit detection seems a bit off, possibly just because of the camera, so sometimes you'll miss an enemy with your attack and then immediately get hit by the enemy and die. It's not hard to get past these things and enjoy the game though.

Picked up this snazzy duo from KC last week. Recapped and Region/S-Video/Purple LED(can't really tell color in pic) modded. It is fantastic! It is the Megatron Duo.

I thought it would be good to have a backup system, and the TG16 was so loud, plus you had to swap out system card during gaming sessions.

Man what a difference. The Duo is quieter, loads faster, and yes.... I hate to admit.... It looks sexier [emoji1]

My small but awesome haul from gameon expo. I won the Dodonpachi, and The game paradise high score tournaments, which awarded me the 2 great sandblasted glass cups. Best part of gameon was meeting Sarumaru and others behind the upcoming new PC Engine game "Henshin Engine". I was even lucky enough to get a copy of the demo. The game is really great, and is a great homage to the PCE/turbo graphics. Only spent $5 on all this (the PCE pins were $5)

The Castlevania is resealed but it looks awesome and for the price I couldn't pass (still not cheap mind you). Something I wouldn't expect to find at a local shop. Not sure if I'll ever own a X68000 but it sure has a sweet library of games. Also happy to find a copy of Contact, an RPG I've been interested in for a little while.

I own Wild Arms 1-4, but only beat the first one myself. Don't quite remember it now, but I think I enjoyed it and hence pursued collecting the sequels for eventual future play (only growing my backlog). I bought the first 2, then I did tech work for my old friend at www.rpgfan.com (http://www.rpgfan.com/) to process data from a contest the website was running, and he "rigged" said contest where I "won" "Wild Arms 3," so as a thank you, he sent me that and a Korean PC import game from Softmax. Same friend that introduced me to "Ys I & II Complete" after buying it from Falcom upon release and letting me download it, so it's cause of him that I started the fan translation projects on Falcom Ys titles. He knew all about the PC import scene.

Now, "Wild Arms 4" is an "interesting" case for me, I bought that at BestBuy when it hit the $19.99 range and it went to storage along with my other backlog'ed games. A few years ago, I knocked my DVD case down, it and most everything else fell out and had to be picked up, and as I did, I glanced at the cover, noticed it was no longer Sony that had localized it... no, it now said "XSEED Games..." It turns out when the clown Mr. Ken Berry Wrong left SquareSoft/ENIX along with its president, that was the first game they selected for localization in 2004 when they formed this new "XSEED Games" company...

Fast forward to the situation now, with my staging a boycott against the company given I was cheated/exploited/abused of thousands of my fan work hours and translation software... I told the public that I don't buy their games and never will, but sure enough, without realizing it, I have a new, sealed copy of "Wild Arms 4" in my PS2 DVD stash... That led to an idea, I remember seeing someone who regretted buying the "Legally Blonde" DVDs and slow-melting them in the microwave, so I thought when I'd get around to it, I could do that to my copy as a "F*ck-you!" Youtube protest video. :lol: I've procrastinating on it, but this reminds me I should put that video together some time. I practiced with a CD-R some time back, but it's tricky, you have to use low settings or it'll melt too fast, sparks will occur with the internal material and you'll get a black smoke with plastic particulate situation... Anyway, as you can figure, I'll be skipping that one in the series... Heh-heh. /end tangent

I understand your hate for XSEED man, but around the time those games (4, ACF, 5) came out they really weren't the same entity you dealt with.  WA 4 is fun to play but the story is a bit blah, soundtrack is epic and the hex system was a neat mechanic.  If you played the earlier games and enjoyed them then you would definitely enjoy the later ones, 5 is like a love letter to fans of the series, and Alter Code F is the definitive way to play the the first game in my opinion.

4 was pretty much the worst in the series imo. Buuuut it's still playable and enjoyable enough if you like jrpgs. Like you said, the story is pretty damn weak.

Agree about Alter Code and 5.

"In the North American version, two monsters (Dalawa Bunny and Accident Rabbit) were taken out of the game, but not out of the monsters list, making it impossible to finish the game with 100% completion."

I always wondered why Sony handed it off as well, maybe the sales for 3 were poorer than they had hoped for? 3 was a pretty good game too imo, a bit underrated.

Oh, it is. At least I think so. Good music, fun bosses. I like "Mayan?" temple stone face boss thingy dingy. He's cute. I like the system of challenges in order to unlock extra credits and such as well. Also-also-also hidden keys to unlock more levels as to get dat legit ending or something-something-something(?). Haven't finished it yet. Seems to have a decent amount of replay value. Makes me damned hungry hot.*

If you wanna get it, I'd go for it soon. Might become as retarded expensive as the original Breach and Clear.

Today's mail brought me a free sealed copy of "Disgaea: Hour of Darkness" for the PS2 (by Atlus). It was gifted by GameMusicFreak due to him just giving up on some of his PS2 backlog and offering it away for free without even a raffle to anyone that saw his post.

Nice. I probably like Disgaea more than I should, given how refined the later games are in comparison but it's still really fun. Solid gameplay, fun characters etc... I would just...avoid the item world mostly. Too annoying in that one.

I've probably put the most hours into Disgaea 3. Waiting/hoping for Disgaea D2 Vita.

I randomly went by the local media store last night and stopped in to see if they had anything decent and I was happily surprised!  They're under new management so prices are no longer flat on retro stuff, but they're decently pegged to current listings (or less) so stock is better too.  Plus employees aren't just picking the place over anymore leaving nothing for actual customers, so I found things I wanted!

(https://c1.staticflickr.com/9/8797/28410081104_6ea7d80b14_z.jpg)

I picked up a couple random Genesis titles I didn't have:
Richard Scarry's Busytown (CIB)
Tecmo Super Bowl (CIB)

And saw they finally have some Dreamcast games, lo and behold they actually had a couple titles I needed as well:

Caesar's Palace 2000 (CIB)
18 Wheeler: American Pro Trucker (CIB)
The Next Tetris: On-Line Edition(CIB)

All of them are in pretty nice shape too except for a couple small things.  Caesar's Palace has some moderate disc scratching, and they stuck anti-theft tags on 2 manuals, but hopefully that's nothing too difficult to remove.  I've been slowly plugging away at my Dreamcast set for awhile, making gradual process when I can find them cheap enough.

My local store got bought out by Vintage Stock maybe 3-4 months ago I think.  It's a mixed blessing honestly.  Long ago when nobody cared about video games I was able to get amazing deals at that store on older stuff, and that held until about maybe 2011 or so.  Pre-2011 the gaming "boom" wasn't really that big I think, so I could get games super cheap all the time. 

My wife and I would go frequently and spend $20 or something and come home with a bundle of games to mess around with, it created a huge backlog for us, but it was cheaper than going to the movies and just as much fun if not more so.  We really stocked up a lot on PS1/2 games and got some "steals" compared to modern prices, stuff like Haunting Ground for $3, Rule of Rose for about $15 and many more.  Never grabbed the .hack games because I didn't really enjoy the anime and I guess maybe that was a mistake but oh well. 

Oh, and all their "retro" stuff was flat price of $5 for NES and $8 for SNES and N64.  GB/C games were $2 and GBA games were $4 (no Sega though).  Oh the pickings were great and we had a blast every weekend, even got to know some of the gaming staff pretty well.

Anyway, around 2011 they got rid of the dedicated gaming room area with checkout, fired or laid of a lot of good employees I liked (I know several that also just left) and made it less approachable.  After a couple months we also noticed there was really nothing good showing up anymore and we stopped going as frequently.  I discovered later though a local Facebook group that a reseller's wife worked there and was basically buying all the "underpriced" retro games before they hit the floor, making it even less worthwhile to go. 

I stopped going for several years until that 4 months or so ago when I randomly stopped by "just for shits and giggles" and was surprised how much better stock was.  Prices are a bit higher since they're pegged to retail/ebay, but I don't mind that much since now they actually have stuff in stock, plus employees are prevented from buying things until they've been out for like a week. 

Overall I'm pretty happy with the direction they're going now, my only knock would be their trade in values.  I brought in like $50 in various comics one day and they offered me $4 for the whole thing.

I figured it was a V Stock store based on the pricing stickers.. Their pricing can be really good if you scrounge through everything. I would recommend following them on facebook and getting on their e-mail list. They usually run buy 2 get 1 free (sometimes buy 1 get one free) on the used video games. They typically run the sales concurrent with major holidays so I am sure Labor Day weekend will be the next sale. A few of them around me are good for Sega stuff.. I have gotten Saturn model 2 controllers for $4.00 and also got a copy of Three Dirty Dwarves for $35 last year

Usually the worst deals are on the Original Xbox and PS2 stuff, they are typically really high for whatever reason
Title: Re: teh "what did you buy today"-thread
Post by: Gypsy on August 18, 2016, 03:37:37 AM
Yeah I usually always wait for sales at vstock. There have been exceptions though.

The best things to get them on are rare variants and complete Genny/NES/SNES games. They price all of their games the same regardless of condition so while that is horrible when they get in something like Arc the Lad Collection with just the case and discs it is frequently amazing for old cart games because they have to price them at loose prices otherwise the loose carts would never sell. It's really a hell of an oversight on their part.

I used to get pretty good deals on anime box sets there but after I cleaned them out on one of their B2g1 sales (I spent over $200 and got probably around $600 in anime) they soon jacked up their box set prices and surprisingly* they sit and sit and sit.

*I am one of 4 or 5 people in my area that buys anime on a collectard level, I have confirmed this at multiple stores.

Also like sirhcman mentioned, they price Saturn controllers at $5 a pop. Model 1, Model 2, third party, 3D, it does not matter which. I helped a friend out with some last time they had them in, since I already bought more than enough for myself this way.

And yeah their trade-in rates are TERRIBLE. Usually around 10% which is a total joke.

One last thing it is worth going through their loose goose disc bin if you have the time. I have picked up a few $20-50 loose discs for 99 cents to $3 each.

They released Shovel Knight as a physical on Wii U and 3DS as well, plus they're doing a Vita run later in the year I think.  So, plenty of options.  I played a fair bit of it on the Wii U but haven't finished it yet.

The 2 player mode on the Wii U is actually a lot of fun. It was a good addition to an already good game. If this game has 8bit+ graphics, I'd like to see a sequel with 16 bit+ graphics.

Prepare to taste justice...SHOVEL JUSTICE!! I beat the first level again (as I did at Best Buy when I first played it). I didn't realize how much more it borrowed from Zelda II besides the down-thrust sword attack & bounce as those enemy knights that you had to jump over and attack from behind in a certain, planned way or with the down-thrust are here too! They require a bit more patient strategy over the usual brute force, let's-get-on-with-it way... Nice challenge, but when you're lazy it could easily become frustrating as it was for good ole Zelda II.

It's more than just a nod to classic retro gaming goodness like Megaman, Zelda II, etc. it actually had help from the original Megaman composer, Manami Matsumae, who wrote 2 tracks for it, so FYI!!! That also heavily influenced my decision to buy it even with my backlog and limited playtime.

Ok, so this is the unit I was talking about the other day. The KW-PCTV-1600, VGA input then an output of either RGB, Component, S-Video and Composite. Tomorrow I'll try and see if it works with a Dreamcast and a Toshiba CRT (480i component input) and see if it's any better than using the regular composite cable.

Some good finds over the past couple of weeks.  Get this, almost everything was found in antique shops.  Sitting next to 18th century furniture, Hess Truck Collections, vintage clothing, and the like was classic games and equipment mixed in with records/cassettes/CD's.  Always good to find a new outlet.

  This is a great controller for the NES, clicky Joystick and buttons certainly not trash with suction cups on the bottom to stick to smooth surfaces.  I like it better than the Advantage for sure.

Found a boxed Turbo local on the cheap, couldn't believe my luck I as checking Craigslist and it appeared within a mile of my house for a stupid price and I picked it up after being on Craigslist for less than an hour.  came with Keith Courage and a complete copy of Splatter house.  Nice to have some cardboard for once.

Batman & Robin rules, easily one of my top Sega Genesis games.  Such high quality sound and grafx and zero slowdown in all the madness.  Tough as nails, certainly harder than Gunstar Heroes and on par with Contra or Ninja Gaiden

Lynx Sun Visor, NOS why not for my growing Lynx Collection.

Bionic Commando.  What a spectacular NES game!!  Top 5 for me.  I had to beat it and it took hours of mastering.  What a great gem.

Been a long time since I've picked up anything at all, but this randomly appeared and was cheap.

Hattary Plus, this is actually a collection of 4 doujin games (plus an extras disk), from 2 different dev teams.  And oddly, it includes a home made soundtrack for Nemesis 90 Kai on cassette tape lol.

So, are you thinking the cassette was made by recording directly from x68000?

I assume Nemesis '90 Kai included a sound test... Otherwise, someone had to get damn good at the game to record it live whilst playing (SFX turned off, if possible).

Ahhh.... I made tons of analog recordings from old consoles BITD...

Man, I love the artwork on that X68000 doujin set.  It just screams 80s/90s anime. 

I was back in my hometown over Labor Day for some family stuff, and found a copy of The Evil Within for $7 brand new from Target and grabbed it.  It's got some special lenticular sleeve and I'm a sucker for that crap, plus is was sub $10 and I was already getting diapers.

Ah yes the pain. I'm currently in wait mode as well. For Saturn goodies mostly. It had been awhile since I got anything good for Saturn, and it kinda just worked out that I bought some stuff, and managed a nice trade for some Saturn imports as well. Good times ahead.

To comment on the games pictured I will say I really like Jet Grind, and Heavy Metal Geomatrix isn't bad.

Vintage Stock did me well recently.  I have a 20% off new customer coupon I printed but hadn't used and it expires on the 15th so I gave them one more shot on Friday and found a DC game I needed (Ultimate Fighting Championship) for about $5 which was nice.  Doing pretty good there, I think I've got just over 2/3 of the library, thankfully most of the expensive stuff is out of the way.

Then to my surprise I located a CIB copy of Ghouls 'n Ghosts for the Sega Master system.  Got it for about $60 after the coupon which is a lot, but still pretty low for the US version.  I may head back for a 16GB Vita card they've got, after coupon it'd be about $26.  Not sure I wan't to spend so much in one weekend, I want to believe Vita cards will drop in price eventually.

Moonshine is great, there is a distillery by my house that has a great selection of them.

http://www.twistedmanzanita.com/our-spirits/

They have various ones that switch out (looks like most right now a fruity).

They have various wood soaked ones (All nasty to me, but someone must enjoy that shit)

My favorite was the bacon moonshine, where they literally soak bacon in the shine and then filter and bottle the liquid after, my fiance loves the lemon cello - it is delicious but very sweet.

Tasty - shine is on the rise!

As far as the WD titles go, I think Albert Odyssey is kind of well, not good. Dragon Force and MKR though. <3

There are quite a few really good compilation discs on the Saturn. If I could only have one older system it would probably be the Saturn for that reason. Twinbee Deluxe Pack, Parodius Deluxe Pack, Thunder Force Gold Packs, Salamander Deluxe pack (Salamander 2!), Gradius Deluxe Pack, Konami Antiques, Capcom Generations etc...

If you like pinball, Last Gladiators is a slam dunk purchase. I'm so nice, I'll even provide a link to the cheapest one up on Ebay right now, just $6! (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sega-Saturn-Last-Gladiators-/152226865056?hash=item23716d9fa0:g:RPUAAOSwvzRXyMXV)

Haven't really been posting much. But here is what came in the mail today.


Back art for my bomber man. Sweet!

Got me a PS4 copy of Retro City. Didn't realize it was going to come with a PSP (no D) copy. That's neat.

Use to watch Sailor Moon when it was still a thing. Heard there is a new series that's suppose to be more Manga faithful. Think it's up to season 3 but only the first seasons been released. In either case might be a fun distraction.

I got that new Target exclusive Super Mario 3D World "New" Nintendo 3DS console bundle.

Plus it's smaller and less bulky than the XL

For $149, you cannot go wrong!

Ah yes the pain. I'm currently in wait mode as well. For Saturn goodies mostly. It had been awhile since I got anything good for Saturn, and it kinda just worked out that I bought some stuff, and managed a nice trade for some Saturn imports as well. Good times ahead.

Maybe not on part of it. Seller still hasn't shipped a week since the order so I'll probably have to just have the order canceled any move on to other sellers. Meh. In the meantime, I should at least have 3 solid Saturn imports in my clutches by Monday. Win some lose some I suppose.

Same here. Picked t up because it was fairly priced CE for the Vita. But the game feels a little slow paced. Or maybe I have low tolerance for dungeon crawlers.

That might be the case, it seems to be a love/hate genre. I'm generally lukewarm on it and have to be in the mood. I really dug into Demon Gaze (thought Op Abyss was meh though) and Class of Heroes 2G. There seems to be an influx of them from Japan.

Nice find, man!  I check back on CL too everyday but I just don't think I'm gonna get lucky.  I am thinking I'm just gonna go the XRGB mini route for now.  Just out of curiosity though, how much/what area are you in/any search tips?

I just searched PVM. They where selling them for $150 each and they had about 6. I tested them all. I would say about 4 of them where just fine. I'm in Austin Texas. They said they get them every now and again from the local Hospital. So you could ask around the hospitals near you. I also have an XRGB mini I have had for about 2 years. It is the device that got me into RGB. With my recent gSCARTsw switcher I have them both hooked up.

Today's mail delivered the SNES30 GamePad from 8Bitdo ( http://8bitdo.com/snes30/ ) directly from China - Should complement Shovel Knight nicely! :) Has to be booted in Bluetooth keyboard mode for maximum compatibility, then likely can be used for any game on your PC, including retro DOS ones.

Great news on this order: It properly boots in Bluetooth keyboard mode, I played about 2 levels of Shovel Knight today. Very important to verify this after charging it out of the box, as the one I bought from MicroCenter just didn't work properly, only in joystick mode. Definitely I had some kind of defect, but this one from eBay is rock solid and I'm very pleased with the purchase! It's a great SNES knock-off, very close in feel and weight to an original SNES pad ($25 with S/H). More thoughts/discussion here on my FB.

My current unit was having issues, and I've been crawling the thrifts and CL and stuff and this popped up for a song, so I grabbed it...literally 0.04% distortion which is less than my hairy old man ears can hear. It's not a tube amp or anything, but for such a random old unit, it sounds so damn nice. Very happy to have it. Now to re-belt or replace my turntable and be a true hipster lol.

He also directed a little anime you might have heard of called Cowboy Bebop.  He worked on that along with Dai Sato, so those are the signatures on the poster below.

Recent pickup, finally entering the new generation of consoles!  Got a heck of a deal from a gent on another forum who happened to be in Denver so I met up with him on Saturday and got it from him.

Ah yes the pain. I'm currently in wait mode as well. For Saturn goodies mostly. It had been awhile since I got anything good for Saturn, and it kinda just worked out that I bought some stuff, and managed a nice trade for some Saturn imports as well. Good times ahead.

Maybe not on part of it. Seller still hasn't shipped a week since the order so I'll probably have to just have the order canceled any move on to other sellers. Meh. In the meantime, I should at least have 3 solid Saturn imports in my clutches by Monday. Win some lose some I suppose.

I really like three of the four tables on it, but I have a clear favourite overall. Still waiting on DP Necronomicon in the mail. The "Dreamlands" table on that one looks completely mind blowing.

Ah nice, I'd also like to do a start-to-finish playthrough of all of them in one sitting.

I haven't even unwrapped "MGS:3 Snake Eater" yet. I was talking to a random clerk at a local Game Stop and the MGS series got brought up, he emphasized that 3 was a great game - I myself stopped at MGS 2 before my long-term gaming backlog set in... From rabbit, beating a game every weekend, to turtle, beating a game a year or years apart/whatever... Almost broke my PS2 also when I couldn't find the lithium battery to change, had to do plenty of soldering work for the input port, heh.

Do have a question, I stuck with PS3 purchases up to V, but how much better is the PS4 version of V/Phantom Pain ?

I'd like to know that. I have every PS console except 3 funny enough, but I bought MGS 4 because it was $4. Not sure if playing all of these will get done anytime soon, but I figure it's time I finally play the damn series and see what's up

Snake Eater is my favorite game in the series. I own Phantom Pain for PS3 but haven't gotten around to playing it.

I highly recommend playing through Snake Eater, though I'm not sure if the subsistence updates that fix the wonky camera and what not are present in the HD remake.

You're not missing much. The original was by far the best. MGS2 was too weird in some parts, and the blonde chic kid you play is no Snake. MGS3 was better than 2, but still doesn't come close to 1. Never played 4 or 5.

Picked this up cheap-ish. Will really need to get the ABT 102 card for it. Been very pleased with how the 30 performs with that card and this is the same thing minus some inputs. Mostly got it to get RGB with an HD CRT I'm using, then I'll compare how that looks vs a monitor with BNC inputs. It was actually cheaper than a good RGB to YUV transcoder and has more uses so yeah I just couldn't pass it up.

Big fan of Vita. Have slowed my roll on picking up games as of late. Need to as I see some going for $14 and below.

Look up Metal Jesus on youtube.  He has some vids on hidden gems for the vita and there is a great community over at The Vita Lounge .com that has a lot of forum threads on the best games for the system.

You can also do a youtube search for Latestvitagames as he posts often showing off new and upcoming releases.

New Sega Master System pickups! This was a trade with an awesome Sega16 forum member in the UK who was able to find me Sonic 1, Spider-Man, and Strider all complete and in awesome shape!

I had been wanting all of these for awhile, and since the US and UK versions are exactly the same I saw no reason not to just get them from there instead of trying to find them here.  Happy to finally have them in my library, Sonic especially seems like it will be neat to play/compare :)

Escape from cyber city. I don't even have a CDI. However it's cheap and it caught my eye. The character designs also reminds me of railroad 666 and captain garlicky.


As for the DS games. Well I have a long list of wants and figured best get to picking them up while CIB is still easy to find and not overly priced. Oddly I was just looking for Demintium 1&2. Found this lot of four at a really good price. Don't need chronology trigger so that's up for trades toward more DS games.

Rather than dedicate a whole thread to this I'll post this here for you guys to consider. Our friend Cobra, which appeared in two PC Engine CD adventures, is getting his entire video series released in America. Sadly it's only English subtitled. I'm not the biggest fan of Cobra to know whether this has seen release here before, but I still found this tempting.

Escape from cyber city uses footage from galaxy express 999,so it's not a original fmv game.

Got very nice deals on the stuff below,



Not the "S", but this 1TB Xbone was at a clearance sale half price. I'll keep it or flog it. Still deciding.
It has a bunch of games pre-installed on the HD, incl Gears of War Ultimate Edition, and Rare Replay.

Outrun 2006 is stupid overpriced for the Xbox version. If you can find it for cheap that's cool of course, but the PS2 version runs a lot less.

OutRun 2 is great fun btw, already have hours into it.

DonPachi was $30 so not too bad. The load times are gnarly though (PS1 version is better I think, but I don't have a Japanese PS2 yet).

Just looked it up. Wow. This was a $20 dollar game. It feel as though sellers are hyping the Ferrari angle. Where I couldn't care less. Only if it is a fun driving game.  Well that's one game I probably won't be picking up.

I believe it has to do with Sega loosing the Ferarri license, which is actually the big reason why Outrun 2006 is so expensive as well.  It's pretty much guaranteed to never to have a re-release unless Sega picks up the licensing again.

Had a couple goodies show up today. One from a trade, the other bought from Japan.

(http://i.imgur.com/FuE4NWi.jpg)

Really pleased with how LG 9.7 plays. The Gladiator table is a bit tougher in terms of the ramp, but it was extremely easy before. Dragon Showdown and KOTR are vastly improved though. Much easier to hit the ramps. Dragon Showdown is still the toughest table though. Overall the ball gets stuck a lot less. Pretty much plays as smooth as DP Necro. For most people, this version likely isn't worth the price difference, but this is a game I play multiple times a week.

FInally got me a copy of the Falcom Special Box 93 soundtrack collection is a 4 disc set with each disc devoted to a different game/series by Falcom. Everything is tied together with a pretty chipboard box with a finish that's kinda of like a sparkly white on it. It's taken me a long time to locate a copy with the obi as well.

Discs are: Lord Monarch, Brandish, Popful Mail, and a Ys IV/Brandish 2/Legend of Xanadu Sampler.

I mainly got this because I love every and all Popful Mail related things.

Quick thoughts

Salamander 2 is pretty cool with the way the stages alternate between vertical and horizontal. Pretty standard gotta keep your power-ups style that I expect from Salamander, Gradius etc...

Thunder Force III is awesome.

Guardian Force is um, taking some adjustments for me to play. Interesting style.

D&D from what I've played of the first one is quite fun. Too bad it's fully in Japanese, but I'll deal with it.

I made a blunder and purchased the Asian version from Play-Asia thinking it came out on the same day. Sadly not. But Play-Asia fixed the blunder and shipped it post haste.

No outer packaging. Basically, the console box itself was the packing material. Unbelievable. First time I've ever encountered this.

The seller (100% rating, no negatives, over 2000 sold items) swears up and down that he packed this thing as securely as possible.
If I'm to believe him, then this here would be the culprit:



(http://i64.tinypic.com/11m9pgi.jpg)



Pitney Bowes, part of the Global Shipping Program. They open up, check the contents and then "re-seal".
There are a few horror stories out there regarding that lot.

As far as the console itself is concerned,
I heard a bit of a noise/rattle when I picked up the box. Not a good sign.

In any case, I've sent this abomination back and filed a dispute with PayPal. Here's hoping for a favorable outcome.

Amazon sent my mailbox the Limited Edition Corpse Party for 3DS today. Gonna fire it up with the wife tonight.

Speaking of Amazon they sent me another boxed LE in a mailer earlier this week. Box was crushed. They offered a full refund and told me to keep it. They are so damn dumb but I'd still rather buy from them than Gamestop.

Right!

So after I filed that PayPal dispute, the seller is now talking "some compensation for cosmetic damages"  :lol:

WTF?



What's even funnier (or tragic, depending on how you look at it) is the fact that the local folks here don't know any better.
This here is a typical reaction you get when you show them something like this:

"In fairness, the standard console box packaging should be more than up to the task of transporting the goods safely and securely.
That's what it's designed to do after all. Looking pretty is a side project"  :lol:  ](*,)


Over in this neck of the woods we're so used to taking it up the ass and then having to say 'thank you' on top of it.

Yes Global Shipping program... making it easier for me to make decisions on eBay purchases.  In other words, Global Shipping program = no sale.

My first GSP purchase was a baseball bat that normally retailed for $300.  It made it to me in a half of a prism shaped box.  Not "half" as in "cut in two pieces", it was more like "about half" was left after being ripped apart by a roto-tiller...  The bat/box was left on my porch with the bat kind of stuck into the remainder of the box and both ends of the bat sticking out, like a paper napkin on a fork and knife in a diner...

Fortunately it wasn't damaged...

So the older gentleman I got it from knows even less about arcade cabs than I do.  :lol:
I believe this used to belong to one of his sons.

I was asking him:

-Where is the slider/switch/potentiometer for volume adjustment? "We don't know".
-Any type of "pause" function? "We don't know".
-The on/off switch is just me simply switching on and off from the power outlet? No switch on the unit itself? "We don't know".


If any of you guys tell me where to look and what to fiddle with, I'll be most appreciative.  :oops:

My first question, is that a Christmas tree up already?

Second would probably be open that up and see if you can figure out the motherboard type.  My old dynamo had a switch on the top you could toggle for power, but it's possible there is something mounted behind the coin door. 

Who knows, maybe you'll get lucky and it already has a unibios installed as well :)

And that's only the "smaller" one. They've been up since last month already. Let me explain.

A few months ago I had my mother move in with us upon her cancer diagnosis.
By the beginning of October her situation was such that she knew she wasn't going to be around much longer. And one of her wishes was that she wanted to see one last time the Christmas trees all decorated and up with lights. So yeah....

This is what's behind the coin door. Can't find a power switch as such.
Will open the back and see what's going on there.

Oh damn man, I'm sorry to hear that.  :(

When I say behind the coin door I mean in that open area that goes into cabinet after you open it.  A lot of time operators would put in a credit switch so when someone complained about losing a quarter they could just open the front and credit the player instead of giving them a quarter/token back.

I may be one of the few, but I enjoyed playing through the first Evolution on the Dremcast bitd. But once I got my hands on Skies of Arcadia, I totally lost interest in getting Evolution's sequel.

Just recently I found out that both the first and second game were compiled together as Evolution Worlds for the Gamecube and I found a copy for under $10 and had to pick it up.

I'm only an hour or so in now, but I like what they've done so far. It seems they've abridged the first episode quite a bit to get people to experience the second episode. The graphics look great on the Gamecube via s-video.

Some decent finds over the past couple of weeks.

The Shooter for the Game Gear is decent.  Not bad for $1.  Same with the loose common NES game which I didn't have.

This has to be my 5th Neo Geo CD I've owned.  I keep buying and then selling them for other stuff as my AES & MVS take priority and to be honest any game over 100MEGS is torture in terms of loading.  If you want to punish a gamer have them play OF 99 on it.  That said I've noticed to pricing on these things going way up in value and they are good to have for the burned game aspect.  I got a buddy in japan who gets these things on the cheap and a decent shipping rate as well (Not that $100 shipping from Japan BS, who is paying that?)  If you can get the CDZ which is on par with a PS1 in terms of loading.

The 3DO came from the same friend and has the Japanese Bios to play Japanese games.  Although 3DO's do not have region lockout they do need specific bios to play certain Japanese games so enter this 3DO.

Speaking of 3DO.

Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon are now backwards compatible on the xbone and I am hoping the last remnant will make that list too.

Also Shovel Knight arrived today which made me happy, gonna play it shortly. ^_^ Shantae games took a detour though. -_-

Lol........bought it early for the enevitable snow storm we will get here in Chicago.  These things usually sell out everywhere once the first snow hits. 

A wise idea.  We have the same problem here with snow shovels once the first storm hits, people go CRAZY.

That looks like a heavy duty blower.  I have a snow "thrower," and it doesn't clear slush at all, which is a real nuisance on the sidewalk where the snow plow pushes its salted snow from the road.  I need a better snow blower, but all my money just goes to games...

I'm not really looking to build a big library (maybe I'll get a harmony thingy), but I wouldn't mind getting a River Raid, Moon Patrol, and Pitfall II.  All buying is off limits 'til after x-mas, though, as I don't want to mess with Santa's plans.

I normally just hand shovel, but there are areas near my house were we get the slush, and it's shaded so then it freezes and it's a sheet of ice until it warms up enough.

Been a good week, got a couple of things I've wanted to add and fix.


First up is a Boxed Nintendo Power Set.  Pretty much complete, the NES itself is gamer condition and will need new pins BUT the Power pad is brand new, never used.  Glad I have a boxed NES now.

I've been looking for a new 25" Arcade monitor for my Neo Geo MVS cab as mine has a build date from Jan 19th 1992 and really needed a cap kit because it would take a while to warm up and get fully bright, had a frozen width coil and the screen was too wide, and recently had complete horizontal collapse.  I've have been searching for a while and even took my old one apart to ship out the board to a guy in Wisconsin and wait 3 to 6 months for a turn around when some guy literally 1 mile from my house had a 25" Wells Gardner from a Big Buck Machine with a build date of 2000.  Completely different animal over my old Kortek unit, simply much more modern and the price was stupid low.  You can control the width via the board up front and not the old Width coil method so you have complete control over the screen size and colors, everything.  I have the brightness turned all the way down up front and on the transformer in the back meaning it has years left in it.  I'm thrilled it was barely used and should last a LONG time.

The guy turns out to be an old arcade supplier and has a huge storage facility with tons of old Arcade stuff.  He has a ton of MVS carts too which I plan on picking up shortly.

My mini NES now has a companion,


(http://i.imgur.com/jhgUPOj.jpg)





Those mini Fami's controllers are really tiny.


(http://i.imgur.com/NXaBXHM.jpg)







A few MVS carts,

The top one with the worn out label is 'Fight Fever'.


(http://i.imgur.com/7SgLyF9.jpg)



I opened them up and three of them are genuine 'SNK' products.
The one I really wanted to be authentic but isn't is 'SVC Chaos'. Bit bummed out about that.
It's as fake as fake can get. It has these weird one-third size boards.



(http://i.imgur.com/a2eHIh4.jpg)

I fired it up and I see it's one of the SVC Chaos "Plus" variants.

LG's 2016 43" LED smart TV model.

https://www.walmart.com/ip/LG-43UH6030-43-4K-Ultra-HD-2160p-60Hz-Smart-LED-HDTV-4K-x-2K/54316474

Was a pretty awesome Black Friday deal at Walmart for $297!!! It supports 75 Hz at 1920x1080 with custom resolution hacking, and with picture mode set to Game, 444 + PC mode turned on the HDMI ports, you get a kickass monitor for the price of a smart TV!!! Best TV I ever bought, this being my 2nd one! If you're a big spender though, look for LG's OLED models for real, pure blacks. Those are the best TVs on the market that also come in curved form.

Technically, I bought it from Microcenter, and used a print-out of Walmart's $297 price to get a price match. They had it for $299.99, so I saved $3 bucks.

I'm curious as to why extra controllers are sold. Do ANY PS4 games have local split-screen multiplayer? Any at all? Well I guess if they break then it's good to be able to get another one, but is there even such a thing as "player 2" any more?

I mostly got it because it was $30 and if something happens to my main, I have a cheap backup.  That being said, I know Star Wars Battlefront does have split screen couch co-op/multiplayer.  I'm still new to the system so I am not aware of others.

Sports games and fighting games are the ones I play with friends in person, but having 4 controllers for hockey seems to make people happy when they come over.

PS 4 Pro sucked for me, it isn't compatible with my 2015 M Series Vizio TV.   Had to move it to my only other 4k TV that's in the house, which is a not very good LG in the bedroom that I had no intention of playing games on.  PS VR is still hooked up to the old PS4, and the better VR experience is the main reason I bought a Pro.

I believe I saw that Sony is working with the tv manufacturers to update there software to fix HDR compatibility issues.  Hopefully your issue will get resolved soon.  My LG OLED works perfectly.  I got lucky.  I didn't realize there were so many TV compatibility issues until after I had bought the system

I ah e a lot to post as I haven't had access to my Photobucket for awhile. However I got excited because my first shelf came in. It will probabaly another three months before I get another.

(http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n119/medic_wheat/Game Room/EB200B0A-AAED-415E-AEB1-8D2A61BE2E2A_zpsdptpurfs.jpg) (http://s110.photobucket.com/user/medic_wheat/media/Game Room/EB200B0A-AAED-415E-AEB1-8D2A61BE2E2A_zpsdptpurfs.jpg.html)

Quickly rant out of adjustable shelfs as I am using third books case as a media shelf.

(http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n119/medic_wheat/Game Room/CB727636-A546-4CFD-BE42-61244C52129F_zpstbrqrnjz.jpg) (http://s110.photobucket.com/user/medic_wheat/media/Game Room/CB727636-A546-4CFD-BE42-61244C52129F_zpstbrqrnjz.jpg.html)

After hitting up Lowe's today I had some shelfs cut to size. How've now I rant out of pegs for the shelfs to be put on. The only had three baggies of them available. With the current weather and rain I didn't feel like driving to another Lowe's. So for now I'll leave my shelf like this. Plan to stain the litter parts later as well. Granted "later" could be years. The only thing I'd complain about honestly is that I have every shelf with two rows so I still have to look behind to see what games to play. However it's MUCH more accessible then havin. Them in boxes on top of boxes on top of boxes.

(http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n119/medic_wheat/Game Room/EDB8E3D3-3F77-426E-B22E-3D129C3F8D58_zps7ai1aujg.jpg) (http://s110.photobucket.com/user/medic_wheat/media/Game Room/EDB8E3D3-3F77-426E-B22E-3D129C3F8D58_zps7ai1aujg.jpg.html)

Got ride of a few boxes.

I think. Honestly. I will need four more of these shelfs.

One more for my remaining games

One for my various moves dvds and blue rays. Possibly can fit my Megger music cd and record collection.

One for my various books, art books, guides, and magazines/Nintendo power and Heavy Metal and vintage play boys.

And the fourth for my figures.


I have decided a rack mount might fight my needs to organize and set up the various systems. I might get two depending on the set up. This is still in planning.

But yeah. Apart from all of that the comic collection will also need some sort of set up as well. However I have other plans for that and feel capable of doing that with some wood and calling it a day. We shall see. I have a feeling my loft will have a lot of shelfs.

Not that impressed with One Way Heroics.  I was hoping for a more Zelda/Neutopia clone, but it just seems to play a bit slower and the controls are clunky.  Probably will dump it on ebay sometime...

Was also hoping for some voice lines out of the Loonytunes game, but nothing.  Not even a 'That's All Folks!"  The mini games on it seem like ports of IOS games you can get for free off the Apple store.

Other than those two titles, I'm happy with the purchases.

Bought these goodies from our own Xelement. Haven't touched my PS3 for like a couple months. Last GTA game I played was GTA 2 on the Dreamcast (I know, not even SA). After enjoying TLOU decided it was a good time to enjoy the Uncharted series. LBP a nice kinda platformer revolutionary for its time. The football game was a freebie, a reminder of a time when we had choices.

Right on. Xbox rocks. I just picked up Grabbed by the Ghoulies cheap so that should be good for some entertainment.

Picked up a free Wega tv today from an older dude. I was offered a free cat (or two) but I told him I couldn't take on any more kittehs. SMOKE CITY. Felt like everything in the house has a nice coating of cig tar. Lower end Wega, but better than the other standard def tvs I have lying around. Really only use them for light gun games. The quest for super fine pitch continues (just took this one without probing too much due to it being free).

yeah, that's not what the game was going for at all.
I played the original on steam quite a bit, it's more of a roguelike RPG than anything.
my advice is take your time and give it a few real goes before you dump it, it might surprise you.
I recall it taking a good 5 tries or so in order to get into it.

It's not.  Wayforward considers it a dead platform and they will not support it, which is why I won't be buying Shantae, at least not right now.  I'll wait 'til I get a 'real' vita and pick up Shantae for cheap.

Been watching the release date for the Wii U game get further and further away on Amazon over the past few months but I'm glad to see that the 12/20 date appears to be official. Never played any of these but it looks like fun and I'm looking forward to it.

Never even heard of the series until Amazon recommended the pre-order, I'll probably hold out for the new game but it's good to know there is another to play if I like it and ever hook my console up to the internet!

If you end up liking the series, Risky's Revenge is pretty cheap digitally. I nabbed it and Pirate's Curse for about $7 total on GOG back during the introductory sale.

Some Nice Neo Geo pickups over last weekend.

First is the Neo Geo Pocket.  Never had one, found one in the box for $30 with one game.  Plays great and controls amazing, basically the same as a Neo Geo CD Pad.  Nice little system.

Next up I'm super proud of.  A Neo Geo CDZ, and not just an CDZ but my old one.  I sold it years ago with about 30 games for god knows why.  I found the old email from the Craigslist add I sold it to back in 2010 and contacted the guy and he sold it back to me at a fraction of what I sold it to him for.  This is the very same CDZ that Classic Game Room borrowed from me to review as well as my MAS Arcade stick and some CD games.

They Guy never used it; he’s a major collector too.  His entire house is filled with either games or Arcade machines in hoarder fashion.  He bought it as a backup and it sat in his closet for the entire time.  The guy has tons of AES games, big money carts just stacked.  The system still had all my old game saves, I doubt he played it.

That's a cool story. However doesn't that kind of bother you that someone just hordes stuff and never used it?  I know it would bother me a little bit. What's the point in having so much stuff if you never take the time to enjoy any of it?

Granted you said in this case it was a back up. So maybe the system he uses daily works fine and he never needed the back up to start.

He has all 8-16-32 bit machines hooked up to various crts and arcade machines in either working or parts so he's very much entrenched in the hobby.  The guy plays and yes his neo geo collection was bought at the time it came out, so it's simply an accumulation.  The guys happy and who am I to judge?

well, I paid 40 for Vanguard Bandits and 15 for Strikers 1945.  All the others were 5 each.
I have built a pretty good relationship with the guy over the last couple years.  To the point now where he picks up lots and holds them until I see them before he puts them out.  His asking prices are always lower than ebay, so I never really need to haggle him.

Mine is the "entry level" player. The JVC HM-DH5U is a higher-end model. Your player has alternate audio track capabilities. For example: it can also do DTS with those D-Theater tapes that support it. Mine is "only" Dolby Digital compatible. That difference is a matter of taste, but at least you have the choice.

At least good vintage stuff is still easy to find even on a budget. And I h we Japan still makes more modern quality players at a higher price point.

He's definitely fun to watch and listen to. I've learned about so many random gizmos from him. lol

well, I paid 40 for Vanguard Bandits and 15 for Strikers 1945.  All the others were 5 each.
I have built a pretty good relationship with the guy over the last couple years.  To the point now where he picks up lots and holds them until I see them before he puts them out.  His asking prices are always lower than ebay, so I never really need to haggle him. 

What color is the mech on the disc for Vanguard Bandits if you don't mind me asking?

Lol, well Vic did variants on VB when he printed it.  There is a variant with a white mech and another with a yellow mech that are known.  They yellow one is pretty uncommon compared to the white mech one.

Technically, I bought it from Microcenter, and used a print-out of Walmart's $297 price to get a price match. They had it for $299.99, so I saved $3 bucks.
Heh, nice.  I bet the salesclerk gave you a goofy look, but three bucks is three bucks.  :mrgreen:
It's nearly a 1% discount!

I told the MicroCenter clerk who helped me, and he printed it out right quick - no biggie. You could also just show a better deal on your phone from a retailer website to get a price match.

Picked up used copies of Ghost Squad and Redneck Jamboree for $0.99 each at Gamestop today. Already had Ghost Squad but picked it up because I remember the animations between the levels lagging a bit and always figured it was because my disc was pretty scratched up, but when I got home I realized that the game that did this was Target Terror and not Ghost Squad... :/

Managed to get me one of these. The build quality is fantastic. The microswitch stick is ace!

I got it mainly for use with the VC games on the Wii/Wii U. I'll also use it on my original NES via the 8bitdo receiver syncing with the Wii remote.

Apparently, Pat the NES Punk "reviewed" it quite negatively, based on the fact that it doesn't work with the NES mini right out the box (without an adapter).

Fair enough, but that doesn't mean it's not a quality product.

Managed as well to source one of those "Classic Edition Adapter" for use with the NES mini.

Runbow is like relay race style Super Smash Brothers on crack.  Up to nine players at once.  Super fast paced and crazy...  Great party game and well worth picking up.

Never played the Steamworld games before, but am enjoying both of them.  Definitely plan on finishing both of them soon.

Oddworld Stranger's Wraith is a pleasant surprise and a lot of fun.  Never heard of it until Limited Run Games decided to put it out.  I think its a higher quality game than most of the titles they publish.  Dialogue is hilarious the way the characters talk.

The Art of Atari is amazing.  Highly worth checking out, even if you just flip through it at the bookstore.

It was pretty fun overall, enough for me to finish it. There is a robot named Ethan that is really funny. Overall, I had more fun with Titanfall 2. Both games have double jumping and wall running, but Titanfall really incorpated it into the levels.

Awesome glad to hear you enjoyed it, do you remember which levels you liked the most? I haven't played the whole thing, curious to hear peoples openions. I am glad some people are playing it, it sounded like this was the year cod hit the wall / jumped the shark from reviews and sales, but hearing people enjoyed it is awesome.

I got Titanfall 2 and will be checking it out after my family holiday trip, excited to see what they did differently - I agree that the traversal abilities were not used in the level.design as well as they could have been in IW

I haven't played a CoD game since World at War so I can't really compare IW to the others. The levels i enjoyed most were the ones that tried to be different. The ones where you're in space and you use a grapple hook to pull yourself around or were there is a big mech in your group and you are support. I found the flight missions to be somewhat boring and uninspired. The story was mediocre stuff you would find in an overweight popcorn movie. The terrorist group you are fighting operates on a thin premise and you're just kind of thinking, what are we fighting for again? On a smaller scale the interactions between characters was enjoyable and like in Rogue One the robot was the stand out character.

which one of those games had the underwater levels?  i never played them, but that always looked cool.
i know one of the boxes also showed zombie levels, but those looked mediocre.

I haven't played a CoD game since World at War so I can't really compare IW to the others. The levels i enjoyed most were the ones that tried to be different. The ones where you're in space and you use a grapple hook to pull yourself around or were there is a big mech in your group and you are support. I found the flight missions to be somewhat boring and uninspired. The story was mediocre stuff you would find in an overweight popcorn movie. The terrorist group you are fighting operates on a thin premise and you're just kind of thinking, what are we fighting for again? On a smaller scale the interactions between characters was enjoyable and like in Rogue One the robot was the stand out character.

I.W. has some zombie side game, but I haven't tried it. It has some kind of 80s theme like it is their version of Blood Dragon, but I'm not sure if it has any story or is just a versus mode.

From AliExpress. Ordered back in early October. Only received it now.

I had to trim the edges of the PCB's for it to fit in my boot MV-1C board. It works fine now, though.

I wish I could find a copy of disaster report and raw danger.  What did those run?

I've actually owned it (Shadow of Memories (PAL) ) before back in the day and had played a bit of it. A little later I somehow lost my copy of it (I still have a game save of it on one of my old memory cards), and as time went on I kinda forgot about it until I saw it again from a guy selling some PS2 stuff on one of our gaming related sites.
Looking forward to playing it again.

200 ZAR for both. So that would be a little under $15.
Both local buys. The same guy that I bought Shadow of Destiny from. 
I'm still looking for the third game in the series released for the PSP.

That's how it is, I guess. I showed my kid that mini-NES (actually bought it as an Xmas pressie for him).
If I told you he used it for about an hour total since the 25th of last month, I'd be lying. And that hour was mostly because I sat down and played it with him. Otherwise, just not interested.

Got my half of a trade today. Highlights would be Trails of Cold Steel and Luigi's Mansion. Already played a bit of Cold Steel, it's pretty good!

sirhcman surprised me with some extra Christmas cheer


(http://i.imgur.com/0i1JcU9.jpg)(http://i.imgur.com/d8SG2ii.jpg)

He was asking me what kind of things I had asked for in the SS, so I guess he took note of what I did not receive from that list, and went above and beyond. I am very thankful, and was absolutely shocked to receive these. When he said that he had sent me something I had no idea what to expect, and this was really surprising. Thanks again sirhcman, too much dude you shouldn't have!
Turbo Karma to sirchman in spades!

Right on sirhcman.

Ark of Napishtim is pretty good, I recently played through it again for no real reason. And Final Soldier speaks for itself really. 8-)

Bought an "untested" Model 2 CD unit relatively cheaply a few months ago. It had the base extender piece as well. It wasn't advertised with that. So that was a nice little bonus.

Things came up and I kind of left it be for a bit. Recently though I found a bit of time, and saw that the issue was the common problem with these Model 2's- the fuse. So the unit is back to life now.

Also managed to pick up a 'Megacart', for region swapping.

Is that a wireless Genny controller? Is it any good?

It feels good in the hand and buttons are all responsive, just like your normal six button Genny pads. But sometimes whilst in-game you tend to forget about that line-of-sight that you always need to be taking into account. Otherwise, a good, solid controller.

Local flea market again.  The guy is trying to clear out crap that has been sitting.
Paid $30 total for all of this.  X-Men doesn't have the manual, but cart looks like it was never used.
Haven't tried the DS stand yet, but he said it didn't light up.  Hope to find time later to mess around with it.

Honestly it's not even something I thought about when playing the game. Usually it takes a lot for me to be annoyed by the script or va. Last game I played where I was actively thinking ugggggghhhhhhh due to a dry translation was Growlanser IV. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

Assuming it's the same in the PSP version, I've no complaints.  I can't say I'm terribly particular (like Gypsy), but nothing stuck out as glaringly bad.

The PS2 version of Ys VI is decent.  Just be sure to use cheat codes and play the game in "Japanese PC Mode."  So you get the proper animated scenes and the original music.  If you just start a new game you get fugly CG FMV scenes and crap music created directly by Konami.

Yes. For anyone curious it's when you start the game, you go into "cheat" mode. Then you mess around with coloured crystals. RBYRBY activates it, Y2xR4xB for PC mode.

I mean I'm already having great fun with Mario World 3D and I have a list of games I want to get for it that is actually above 10 (I was kinda surprised). When factoring in that I don't want the games that came with this and will sell them I should only have about $60 in the console which isn't too bad really.

I do definitely want to get Mario Kart for it, I've heard great things about it which I was glad to hear because Mario Kart Wii was tremendously disappointing after Double Dash.

Really loved both of the Galaxy games, probably the best Big N games on the Wii.

And yeah Nintendo gave up on this system pretty quickly. I'll probably end up with less than 20 games for it, but that will still beat the pants off of my Sega CD selection (sans cdrs).

My list so far
New Super Mario/Luigi (the two pack)
DK Tropical Freeze
Mario Kart 8
Smash
Pikmin 3
Yoshi's Wooly World
Captain Toad
Zeldar Scrolls (not out yet)
Zelda TP and WW HD (good excuse to replay these)
Super Mario Maker

Been on a Game Wave kick for a bit.  Why not games brand new are $3 each and the system was $20.
It's a fun curiosity for sure.  No idea if these games are any good but the trivia is indeed fun.

If they where to release 3 and even more hopefully push a physical release of all three games. I'd be very happy.


Also the latest fatal frame for the WiiU looked great. However it's download only in NA. Seeing how a PAL release was made in physical copy it seemed like such a bone head move on Nintendo America. Even more so with the WiiU being region locked.

well, my "list" of games to check out on wii U is 23 games, so it's not terrible.
It's on the same level as the N64.

side note - f*ck Mario Maker, With no cohesive goal, I played it once and that was good enough for me.  Never really gave me a reason to play other than just getting more of the same.

Did you look at Hyrule Warriors? It's pretty Dynasty Warriors-y, but I had a good enough time with it.
another one to look at is the NES remix pack, not for everyone, but I'd look at it if you haven't.

Just some stuff for the DC.

That VGA to HDMI converter/upscaler is a decent "budget" device.
It has two options, that of 720p and 1080p. I set it to the former. No noticeable lag.

I bought one 4 years ago and it's been great. Not sure if it can be found for purchase anywhere at this point, but if it can, it's a great solution.

Not much in the way of pick ups, just a really old PC CRT Monitor.

I'm like one of those people that sees a stray animal on the street and wants to give it a home.  :P :lol:

If I see one of these old monitors just get thrown away, I can't help but take a closer look.

So this old CRT only accepts VGA. I had to make a plan to hook up an old console system to it.
I went the S-Video to VGA route for the visuals, and a bit of a convoluted way to get the audio out of a pair of old Fujitsu Siemens speakers.

I just rescued a nice, poor little scanner...I just need to find a mini-USB cable for it.

Simple Pickup here.  I traded a SNES and a Sega Genesis Model 2 for a PS4 Slim.  I think I did good.  been playing Shovel Knight and tried to get Destiny going but it needed a 74 MIN update.

Slim is nice, REALLY small for a Next Gen console.  Wish it had a Optical port out, no idea why it doesn't.

1080i HD 60hrtz Via HDMI, nothing wrong there.  CRT has superior blacks and way better on motion blur.  Much harder to steal as the TV is 220pounds built in theft deterant.  Accepts all signals from 240P to 1080I, I can run my dream cast trough it via VGA to Component and get enhanced picture.  Its an awesome gaming TV, I have 2.

I don't think any of those wega tvs can display what the PS4 is outputting; the best it's doing is 1440x1080i or 853x1080i natively.  Even if it had a full 1920x1080 native resolution, that'd be interlaced and not as good looking as a 1080p display.

Well yeah it's only 1080i and do not forget broadcast Television is only 720P or 1080i, the only true 1080P sources will be from a Gaming console (and even then it's up converted on many games) and Blue Ray Movies.  Some Netflix Shows steam 4k but a small minority.  It still looks great, it's under 50 Inches so I am not suffering too much on the 1080i picture and the TV is a great compromise to play all my systems.

HD-DVDs can do 1080P too, provided the player supports it (a lot of them were budget models that maxed out at 1080i).

It's fine and dandy if you're happy with how it looks, but you're missing one fourth the rendered pixels at 1440x1080 or one half at 853x1080, and that is why bartre said what he said.

And I'm only talking about the PS4.  Don't try to change the subject or rationalize the wega's use with things that have nothing at all to do with the PS4.

Bad idea?  How in gods name is it a bad idea?  bartre posted that he was surprised it worked which makes me believe he thought my CRT is SD.  I posted it was HD, has pure Black and White which is perfect contrast, and a 1080i signal which at under 50" is indiscernible to distinguish 1080i to 1080P, yet you find a reason to argue and take offense; only you.  :clap:

It doesn’t, but pointing out that at under 50” displays you can’t tell the difference between 1080i and 1080P.  You lost it when I pointed out the superior contrast of a CRT and motion blur and brought in some of your sources don’t like scan lines in a massive effort to derail once again.  Where the f*ck did that come from?  I posted a PS4 I picked up from a simple trade and you all like Third Reich and shit.

RGB looks good on these. Colour is excellent. It's not PVM/BVM quality by any means but these are also much easier to find (and usually free).

Actually it's a 4:3 but I also have a 16:9 variant as well.  When I plug in the Genesis/SNES/Turbo/NES/3DO/ Whatever SD signal it outputs in 4:3 and fills the entire screen like this.

If I run the Dreamcast through the VGA to Component converter it displays 640x480 and its progressive in 4:3 format.

If I use the HDMI slot it crops the picture like so.

The TV is quite versatile, Tube televisions still have one of the best pictures you can ever get from a TV, especially when it comes to accurate color and deep black levels.

I forgot there were a few 4:3 variants. On the 16:9 ones you get proper aspect ratio, there is just some empty space. That's never been something that bothered me but I know it's a deal breaker for some.

Heh, a 4:3 version is even worse.  And yet this fool questions why anyone would laugh at him for using it with a PS4.  :lol:

Nice. Is Oreshika reasonably priced now? I enjoyed that game.

I paid $35 for it, plus shipping from malaysia.
figured "f*ck paying $10 to ship one game"
so I bought waifus the game.

Yeah that's pretty reasonable for the game, I paid more than that at launch. For awhile there was a shortage and the price spiked to herpaderp so I was wondering. I beat the game shortly after release. Not sure how much you know about the game going in but sometimes actually making progress is a bit weird because your characters do die so you have to breed characters to get new characters with better stats/growth rates. Also quite a bit of the game is randomly generated when you start a new game iirc.

Like I've already said repeatedly, it doesn't matter if you care or not.  The fact remains that there's a very good reason to not use such a CRT with a PS4.

lol why would anyone think that's a good idea, even with RGB inputs the scan lines would be very out of place.

I don't even think there would be proper aspect ratios

Most HD CRTs don't have scan lines and it's a 16:9 tube.

Whoah wait. Most?

I wasn't aware of any HD CRTs having scan lines. My interest is peeked. Which HD CRT models have scanlines?  Wouldn't mind finding a YouTube video or images showing this. Just for the fun of it.

Picked up a Super CD-ROM² unit the other day. Local guy selling off his stuff.

RGB modded, so that's a nice bonus. I opened it up to see if it needed cleaning and whatnot.

Covered by a piece of bubblewrap, and sticky tape holding down the RGB Amp.
Isn't there a better way of doing that?  :P

In any case, I'm happy with the visuals, aside from the fact that my specific RGB to Component convertor needs some color correction/adjustment. It's always given off this slightly green tint to the picture.

I picked up a rough looking PS2 with a network adapter from a junker type shop yesterday. $4.50. Looked like the writing on the price sticker said "needs laser" but I couldn't tell for sure and for the price I didn't bother to ask. Well I bring it home and even practically new games don't boot, get a nice disc read error. So I take it apart, clean everything and grease the gears. Booted a few games and messed around with it after that. Didn't give it any extended play but it appears to be fine now.

I messaged the seller hopefully they reply soon. I'd rather recycle it than bother packing it back up to return it but it depends on what they want to do.

The front left part came a bit loose from the bezel. One of the menu buttons now doesn't work at all and another is touchy at best. There is also a nice rattle inside now... It still functions but due to the button that is broke I can't change most of the settings. :|

To follow up on this yeah the tube is poop due to heavy use. Had to apply gamma correction and have it at max brightness to really display and it still looked poor. In contrast an old emachines piece of shit I have running at 50% brightness was better lol.

I'm waiting for a final decision from the seller before I open it up but will do. They offered a comparable model (but they didn't realize this one was in such bad shape for the display due to the settings being dialed to 11 so I can't exactly trust their judgment) or a refund and I asked for the refund.

Provided I don't have to send it back (sounded like they def didn't want it back) I will see if I can help it any.

Walked into Wal-Mart today, which is a rarity for me.
Whilst browsing the aisles I saw a cardboard display to "Reserve your Nintendo Switch!!" in the gaming section.

I asked the sales drone if they had stopped taking pre-orders, and he said, "why no...today is the last day. Go to the service desk to put down your 10% deposit". 

So after all was said and done, I've ended up with a Switch on pre-order.
Still debating if I truly want it, but what the hell!

It's sad to say I've spent the most time on the Android version. I was assuming it was my device causing it to run like garbage, but I got far enough in that I knew I wanted to play the game. Lofty position in the ranks of PS2 for you surprises me knowing little about your ps2 preferences, but makes me want to play it even more.

Ah, you got the classic, I bought their SNES pad a while ago.

Yeah, great stuff and if you can boot it to keyboard mode, it'll work with most PC games (if keyboard keys can be configured) as opposed to being booted to USB joystick mode which is the default. Very, very close to the weight and feel of an original SNES pad! A solid knock-off!

Cons: The battery is cheap, lasts ~24 hours. However, there's plenty of room to buy a better quality, higher milliamp 5V replacement so it can last longer. Sucks they cheaped out in that area. I can only speak for the SNES version of course, but yeah...

I've tried a few other wireless pads with that receiver. They work. So that's nice.

As well, I had an idea (just the other day I picked up one of those SNES Classic controllers. It's still in its wrapping) that I may be able to use that SNES Classic pad wirelessly via that receiver, syncing via a Wiimote. That works as well.

Can you map "Y" to "B" and "B to "A" for use on the NES Classic? Otherwise I would find this controller to be a whole lot of awkward when trying to play games where you want to use quick button presses between B and A  or holding down the B button while hitting the A button (example: Mario run/jump).

Side note: I don't understand why all these companies are making new NES controllers and can't just put the B and A buttons side by side. They insist on putting the buttons at an angle (and the wrong angle no less). The Nyko NES Classic and Retro-Bit Capcom controllers come to mind

I've been wanting to pick up a copy of Nexr for a while, but whenever I see one, the price is $180 and up usually....if you do find one less than that, its in very piss poor shape.  When PCEWorks announced this new set, I jumped on it.  I wasn't expecting it to include the Summer Carnival 93' as the second disc so that was a nice surprise.  Same with the repro of Dungeon Master that came with the set.  I will say, the quality here on everything is top notch.  I've always been impressed with the quality that PCEWorks put out and it shines with everything I've ever purchased from them.

Can someone explain the whole Steam Hearts story line to me?  Wasn't expecting the story board artwork to be so.....um......yeah.....

You can, there is a remapping tool. You need to make sure you've updated the firmware as well. If not, the remapping won't be saved after turning off the controller.

Good ole Tobiass, didn't know he went for Summer Carnival '93. I own an original I got used from a gaming mag. It's a nice shooter with decent CD soundtrack, though I think it's a bit too short.

My first 3DS arrived today. N3DS the black friday Mario model. Guy I bought it from wasn't really playing it (didn't even open the charger he bought for it) and is good people so he sold it to me for his cost (plus shipping) despite knowing the Ebay value. I'mma fire up DQVII tonight.  :)

That's right.




Also got this with a bunch of other cables and power adapters,

Listed as "non-functional",

I opened it up, tested the fuse for continuity. Nada, squat.
(This particular fuse is 125V 5A, fast blow fuse)

So I desoldered it and replaced it with a new one. Fortunately, that's all it appears to have been.
My Duo has been powered by it for a few hours now. No issues as far as I can see.

Got dick punched today. A nice package arrived, but the Japanese PS2 inside is only reading CD games, not DVD games. The sadness ohhhhh the sadness.

Already resolved the issue though and I'm getting a fat PS2 (can't believe I betrayed myself and bought a slim) Japanese system from a seller on Ebay.

If you like horror movie soundtracks and want to go a little deeper than the Carpenter and Goblin stuff everyone already has, this is a fantastic soundtrack.

Damn, Chany!

You can't go wrong for $2.

I am so curious about how that works (infrared). I've never really use an infrared controller as a "main", go-to controller (I move pads around too much)....but a stationary stick actually makes much more sense.

    I am absolutely in love with Shovel Knight!!!  The music is the absolute best, when I bought my PS4 copy it came with a free ITUNES download and it's on my phone now.  What a great game!



Some common and cheap Pickups this past week.

   I already have a couple of Game Cubes but never had 1st Party Controllers, they are so much better than my shitty 3rd party units I bought from 5 Below.  I paid $20 for this total which I feel is good.

Just a loose disc and a cart,

The seller wouldn't sell one or the other separately, so I picked up both PBC's.

A few Wii U games,

And a CD32.



(http://i.imgur.com/dWNVwKM.jpg)


Advertised as having "issues reading certain discs". Tested it with a few games as well as with some unofficial CD32 ports. It plays everything fine.

What I did find on occasion though was that sometimes it would give me a kind of error message like "cannot execute file, not enough memory". Pressing the reset button though seemed to do the trick, and the game would load and play fine afterwards.

Some of those Amiga ports to CD32 bug up due to the fact that someone hacked them to run off CD. It's likely not your system but just the port.

Yeah those Cube controllers look like they have seen way better days. Yuck.

Here is a picture of the PS2 and games. System as mentioned is being returned since it only reads CD games. Games all tested out completely fine on my PC though, so I'm keeping them and waiting for another system from Japan. Getting a fat this time, since I've had better luck with those plus I have all US fats if I needed to end up replacing the lens or something like that.

I have replaced the GC sticks before with cheap aftermarket ones and they work great. I would recommend that if they are loose or notchy.

Damn nice on getting Xenoblade for 3DS granted you didn't pay like $60 for it. I remember seeing dozens of them at multiple stores right after I picked up my $100 N3DS from Toys R Us, but wanting Animal Crossing first because it was cheaper. Now it's damn hard to find.

It was in trade and value at $30. I don't think that's too far off of Ebay though, last I knew. The Sun/Moon pack was valued at retail which was nice. I'm gonna play those for a bit then probably let a friend that is a big Pokenut have that set. Maybe just the outerbox and figures collectard crap lol.

Got Steamworld Collection in the mail today. Wasn't sure if I'd like this one when I ordered it but wound up playing Heist for ~6 hours today, so it was a good buy. The only thing I don't like is the limited inventory, before long it's like the game is punishing you every time you beat a level by forcing you to sell things (sell things for currency you can't use because your inventory is full and practically no one is selling inventory containers...); as much as I like the game I really hate this aspect of it.

I picked up a Saturn 3D controller. This was actually a freebie. The seller couldn't find the detachable cord for it, so he just threw the controller in with some other stuff I had bought from him.

This was a trade for some oXbox games I had gotten a couple weeks ago.

The guy even included the receipt for when he had bought the system from Brazil, back in '08.

This thing operates on the PAL-M analog TV system. No cart slot. 130 built-in games.

It works fine but I couldn't get any of my TV's to show it in color. The visuals were all in Black & White.

So I thought to try hooking it up to an old PC CRT VGA Monitor, using a composite to VGA connection.



We now have color. Thumbs up.

BTW, The Cyber Shinobi is an awful game.  :lol:




If anyone was wondering as to the systems internal components,

Not much there. The pic below is not mine but it's the exact same system.

And, scored a mint in box PSOne LCD Combo. This was from an estate sale.

Price tag for it was R800 ZAR. That works out to a little under $60.

Well, got this other Japanese PS2 and....it won't read CD games. LOL. I'm off of importing a system now. I'll just rip my Japanese games and patch them to play on a US system. :)

Good news though I had a video processor arrive today that seems to be in full working order. I just need to get it a proper power supply (already ordered should arrive Saturday) and update the firmware.

Wired up a minidin to a spare Famicom 3D System Adapter I had in the closet.  Not totally finished so it looks a bit ghetto, but it works.  This is for use on the X68000.  Playing Castlevania in 3D is mind-blowing with it's multiple layers of parallax.  Totally worth it if you have a real system.

No the system has 3d support built into it.  It has a dedicated 3d sync output, hence the effect is perfect.

It was $23 but doesn't have an outer shell. This is the seller: http://www.ebay.com/sch/choijustin/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_ipg=&_from=

Doesn't have any up atm but has sold 5 more since I ordered so I imagine he will post more up as he makes them.

They had also contacted a couple other people who had given em their name and said it was 1st come, 1st serve, they needed it gone by 2pm or it was getting trashed. I was there in about 15 mins and loaded it into back of the car. Was hangin out the back but i strapped it down pretty good! :P

I did the same. Called a few locations. Of all the GS I called a majority of them didn't have the kiosk for some time due to space or the discontinuation of the system. Three places still had it. One took my information and would give me a call. The other two claimed they don't "do that sort of thing" and said they wouldn't be ticking it away or throwing it out.

For the PS3 a 500+ GB HDD is a must. It's been 10+ years since I last upgraded my og Xbox drive, do I wanna go through that again? maybe if I can use an SSD, or a modern SATA drive (I'm on softmod, will have to do some research) :-k

yeah, i went with a 640 on my ps3 cuz i got a deal.
as far as OG xbox, anything above 100 and you're fine unless you want to put tons of retail games on there.
I opted for 500.
*edit* tried to install it - the drive i got is DOA

as far as using a SATA drive, they make adapters, but it's a bit more difficult to get the drive set up right
not eeeeeevery IDE->SATA adapter works.
plus, it may require you to push the extra storage onto one of the cache drives, which CAN (but not always) cause problems if you play a lot of different games.
also, I haven't used one, but I've heard using a SATA adapter can cause the boot process to slow down.

on to my new pick up-
I realized my xbox was v1.6, and therefore no 480p for some games, THIS WILL NOT DO.
so I hopped on letgo, searched "xbox" and got this for $20:

Finally gonna get a TV today (for obeying), if all goes well.  Found someone on craigslist with a JVC 27" with component video and a round screen.  I looked up the model, weighs less than 80 pounds so I should be able to haul it around myself which is kinda what I was looking for since my last SDTV from 5-6 years ago, which was a monster.  I was also holding out for the round screen and the component video, so I imagine I'll be pretty happy so long as the thing works like the guy says.  It also has s-video too, so should be a nice set.  I can finally get to my backlog of Saturn/PCE games again (first ones are the translated Policenauts for SS and Necronomicon Pinball, which I now got like 2 Christmases ago)

I found copies of Curses 'n Chaos and The Swapper in yesterday's mail.  I probably should've saved my money.

I tired to order them for vita but the checkout was glitched out.. On the site it said available but when checking out it said sold out :(
It was only like a minute in.

How is Primal?  It's one of those games that always looked interesting but I have no idea how the execution is.

i have always really liked it.
The combat isn't 100% perfect, but the feel of the game is pretty damned great.
Plus, you can get the HD version off psn

My fiance got me Wild Guns PS4 for valentines day, and then instantly got me Last Guardian for PS4 for my birthday. Such a spoiled guy! I didn't even ask her for them, she said she saw me almost buying both of them but holding off due to the upcoming wedding expenses. Wild Guns is a blast, and she's better at it than me! I haven't opened Last Guardian yet, but next week I hope to explore it a bit - I never played Ico but really marveled at Shadow of the Colossus.

Some cool pickups this past weekend.


Got this guy from Digital Press.   Fairly rare, not the best game but I am glad I have it.  The Legend of Success Joe, based upon a Japanese Manga.

These were the games they got.  They held this game for me all week.  Some rare stuff they got almost went instantly.  Sengoku 2 is left for $499.99 if anyone wants it.

Always wanted one of these TV's and now I have one.  Brand new in the Box.  The 3D works great on Moto-Storm and my PS4 looks great on it too.  Get one if you can.  Gona try Grand Tourismo 3D on it next, fun feature.

I remember reading about these as a kid and I had to have it.  Runs off of 6 batteries or a 6V plug. Has stereo sound and a light and a magnifier glass as well as storage and "Arcade" sticks.  Very cool it's in excellent condition in the box.  Best $5 I have spent.  They were from Radio Shack and $29.99 Originally.

nabbed myself another xbox, this time with an xecuter mod chip in it, so I'll have to see what I can make it do.

still cleaning it up, and the disc drive sticks, so I'm rebuilding the drive.

Also, in my neverending quest to organize all of this ridiculous stuff, I've bought a chunk of system carrying cases, I've been pleasantly surprised with the quality so far.

and finally - more games! all from local shops:

Baller Status.  Two Higher End carts.  AOF3 has amazing animation, arguably the best on the system which really says something for a relatively low MEG count (under 300).  I only have the inferior CD version that as the cut frames of Animation and SLOW load times.

@evilevolx thanks to income taxes i was able to afford the cab but i got it for 400 and each game under 300 each. Even though aof 3 plays a bit slower, it does make up for its great visuals and beautiful animations

WOW $300 for AOF 3 is a steal!!!  The Real bout Series is a favorite of mine as well.

I just got these from NYC the other day, wasn’t even planning on it just ran into them.  They came with some cool acrylic cases that I used to put my more expensive games in (last Resort & Savage Reign.

Thrash Rally and Real Bout Fatal Fury Loose.

Got a nice game in the mail today. Double Shienryu. PS2 import.

I never fail to get a kick out of the MGS opening tune coming out of the Dreamcast. lol



   I always wanted to try this.  I remember reading an article that said that the grafx are improved. how much better are they?  Does the game run better?  The article I read showed Grand Tourismo and it did look better.

As compared when playing MGS on the original PS? Graphically, no question this a very noticeable step up from that. Higher res, smooth textures. I'd probably even slightly prefer this over playing the original MGS on a PS2. Over VGA on that old PC CRT Monitor, it's clean and sharp.

Gameplay wise, the game runs fine. I'm not a huge fan of the DC's controller to start with though, so I borrowed a friends old PS to DC controller adapter (Total Control Plus). I'm used to playing this game with a PS controller, so this was right up my alley. Controls were tight and responsive.

I was looking forward to trying it with my wireless PS2 Logitech controllers as well. Pity though they don't seem to function with that particular adapter.

Box full of PC games, all boxed. Need to compare Icewind Dale II to my other copies but it's a very likely raffle option here. It's one of my favourite old PC rpgs, so I'd like to find a good home for it.

Also SFC cheapy goodness Magical Taruruto Kun (sp?) and Arrow Season 3 on blu (DONT HATE).

@evilevolx thanks to income taxes i was able to afford the cab but i got it for 400 and each game under 300 each. Even though aof 3 plays a bit slower, it does make up for its great visuals and beautiful animations



WOW $300 for AOF 3 is a steal!!!  The Real bout Series is a favorite of mine as well.

I just got these from NYC the other day, wasn’t even planning on it just ran into them.  They came with some cool acrylic cases that I used to put my more expensive games in (last Resort & Savage Reign.

Thrash Rally and Real Bout Fatal Fury Loose.

I wonder if they mean the caps are in the wrong spots, because if they are on backwards (reversed) they would likely explode within a short time of powering up...

I ordered a TGCD gear from this seller too - a year or two ago and it was good (along with several orders or hucards over the years)... I'll reserve judgement until I receive mine in the mail.

Pro-Tip: Hold L1, R1, Start and Select when choosing a game mode to enable sound select mode. You can choose between FM synth and two MIDI options. They are all worth a listen but I feel the FM synth is the most "Castlevania Sounding" of the three. Be sure to hold those buttons down until the sound select screen loads.

The FM/MIDI music isn't emulated, it's recorded off the real thing.  It does suffer a bit from compression, but most people won't know the difference.  Now the game itself though is a recreation, not a proper port of the original code.  Meaning some of the hitboxes are off from the original, making it harder then it was meant to be.  The lowered resolution doesn't help either (PS1 is 15khz, real deal runs in 31khz).  If you are used to the real deal, this port is meh, but if you aren't it's a good effort.  And when it was new it retailed for only $9.99 so hard to complain...

Original version had a few extra features like the hidden 4th Music Option (General MIDI), but they are rather minor.  There is even a fan patch that adds stereoscopic 3D (LCD shutters like MasterSystem/Famicom) support to the game, which is damn cool looking if you have the required setup to run it.

I haven't picked up anything gaming related in awhile, but came across this for about $8 and couldn't say no.

I haven't played this in ages. I sold my U.S. copy probably 2 decades ago. It's still pretty fun! I was surprised that there's even a widescreen mode in the Options menu, though the HUD and cut-scenes are stretched.

Nothing amazing there, but I haven't played the Onimusha games in ages so what the hell. Mainly grabbed God of War II for the memory card.

Some huge ass retarded Tom Clancy Rainbow Six CE thing (6 games in it and a huge guide) for $10. One of my brothers is big on Clancy, so this will be a nice gift. Didn't bother to look at value online, but I figure this f*cker can't even ship for $10.

Some wireless headphones I will probably gift for a dollar.

The HD Retrovision folks were saying that this is "a poorly designed ripoff" of the product offered by db-electronics. And that this has the capacitors on backwards. "Video signal quality would be compromised and eventually those capacitors will fail."

I believe the seller of these is also a member here. I wonder what he has to say about this?



I wonder if they mean the caps are in the wrong spots, because if they are on backwards (reversed) they would likely explode within a short time of powering up...

I ordered a TGCD gear from this seller too - a year or two ago and it was good (along with several orders or hucards over the years)... I'll reserve judgement until I receive mine in the mail. 


Ok - so I received it last night - the version with Component, Composite and RGB... I was unable to get component working.. just a flickering picture on a CRT which accepts component and nothing at all on an LCD...

I will try again tonight, but it isn't looking good...

Got a fun package the other day. Was from someone I have traded with a fair bit in the past, looking to get rid of extra stuff. I paid $100 without knowing what the exact contents would be but with the assurance that I would be happy or I could send it all back at his cost. Ended up being quite pleased...

Dragon Force (loose)
Thunder Force V Special Package (complete)
Lunar SSSC guide (great shape)
Wing Commander IV
Cyber Core (complete)
Doraemon Meikyu Daisakusen (complete)
Namco Museum 3
A bunch of dvds mostly newer movies but also some random anime discs just a huge stack (50+ movies) so not worth listing them out by name.

It is a fun game! It reminds me of Jackal on the NES, but it is vertically auto-scrolling so it also feels like a shoot em up. The best part about the game is that it has a hidden 3D mode. You get a nice sense of depth as walls rise high, trees loom, and canyon appear to be pretty deep. I highly recommend it if you have the glasses!!

Got some dirt cheap consoles this weekend, including a SNES that was broken. :( CIB PS2 that's actually in really good shape though as well.

Oh did have a cheap but nice package arrive as well. Had Super Bomberman 2, Super Mario Collection and Chou Genjin SFC carts. Crazy what the US carts of these go for when the Japanese carts are soooo cheap.

(http://i.imgur.com/ZKu1ljhl.jpg)

Had to make my own insert for the 20 in 1 master system cart. Apparently it came bundle with the master system 3 in brazil.
The game selection screen is kinda werid. its just game 1 through 20, there are no titles, you choose your game and from there you have one minute to get any many points as you can, depending on what game you play. If you meet the required score within the minute, you continue playing, if you dont meet the required score, you are taking back to the game menu. Very obscure game. im thinking to do a review on it since theres not much info at all about this game.

@gypsy-hella good shmups indeed. Yeah, its awesome that eschatos comes with judgement silversword which is crazy how pricy that game is.

@theclash603- they are just some random ass games. I picked it up at cjameslv's store for 20 bucks. Figure its worth checking out and reviewing

Well I hopped onto the vita train.

Grabbed a OLED Vita with Trails of Steel, Lumines, and a few more games on the way. Excited to go back through this system I skipped out on - I have a ton of memories with the PSP, and hope to spend a lot of time with this.
Title: Re: teh "what did you buy today"-thread
Post by: Gypsy on April 10, 2017, 09:59:22 AM
Nice Gredler. I really liked Trails of Cold Steel. Played it on PS3 but gotta imagine it's a near identical experience on the Vita, maybe some longer load times.

Ys MoC is a must play imo. Probably the only must play on the system imo but I also enjoyed: Disgaea 3, Disagaea 4, Dariusburst and Shovel Knight.

Games I finished but weren't as good to me: Tales of Hearts R, Sorcery Saga, Demon Gaze, Shantae, Muramasa, Senran Kagura (both) and Firefly Diary.

There are a lot of samey dungeon crawlers available for it.

I got my Vita on a bit of a whim a couple years ago, and didn't play it much at first. A big part of the reason I got it was Remote Play functionality, because I love playing the Disgaea series, and the rest of the family hates it.

Once I learned I could create a Japanese PSN account and download some awesome PSX and PC Engine games on the Vita, I got way more into it. Harmful Park and The Adventure of Little Ralph alone make it worthwhile, but there's also Gate and Lords of Thunder, Dungeon Explorer II, the Soldier series... They play better on the PS3, but they're a lot of fun on the Vita as well.

I will need to research that - I was hoping I could play PCE/Emulators on this thing like my PSP but unfortunately my firmware is too new for that to work (3.63)

Mushi and Espgaluda are my favourites, and should still be pretty affordable (I believe I paid about $22 each for Mushi, Espgaluda and DDP S).

I believe the HuCard games are 617 yen, and the CD titles are 823 yen. You will need Japanese PSN cards to fill the account, which you can get at a place like Play-Asia. A list of available titles can be found here:

I’ve had some luck recently and would like to share my pickups.

Metal Slug 2, loose; found a seller in Mexico who gave me a deal I could not refuse.  This is the only Slug I have not played through or owned.  Most Neo Geo Collectors argue that this version is indeed better than Slug X and possibly the best in the series.  It does have a ton of slow down but I may look into having it modded to reduce the slow down.  It’s a good one no doubt.

KOF 99, this game has a lot of nostalgic value as it was in a MVS 2 slot at my college along with Samurai Showdown II.  I’ve had the MVS cart for years never thought I’d get the AES copy let alone for a killer price.  This is my new Favorite AES game it is so balanced yet so challenging.  The backgrounds changing between the rounds and the level of detail make this a top ten AES game for me.

Two NES Classics.


  Why 2?  Trying to get just one is almost impossibly unless you deal with a scalper who has stacks of them and asking crazy prices for what amounts to be a (very good) emulation machine.

On the Facebook gaming groups someone posted a tip that BestBuy would make the NES Classic available at 12:00PM Central time.  I had my Bestbuy page up on my PC and cellphone, both logged in and on the NES Classic page ready to “Buy it Now”.  1PM eastern hits and sure enough they are available.  I click buy it now both on my cell phone and my PC and…..  Nothing; it just spins and spins and times out.  I try again and again until I get one in my cart, trying to check out constantly provides errors and you cannot add the NES classic to the basket. 

I am hammering incessantly on both my Cell Phone and my PC until; somehow, my PC shows that I have 2 in my basket.  This is after 30 MINS of timing out futility which I imagine is everyone trying to do the same.  Got them for $59.99 each and free shipping.  Thanks BestBuy!

  I got to say that this thing rules.  I love the save states.  I played through Mega Man 2 and it feels great, great picture and sound and the controllers feel authentic.  I may mod it soon to get the entire NES library.  I would not pay scalper prices, at least not over $100.

Luckily, a member here wanted a couple things from my trade box, so we had a partial trade.
Couple games + $15

Bravo sir, good for you! :D Congrats, and enjoy the game! Please make a thread and keep us informed about how you like it - I loved Gaia as a kid and never went back to play the beginning to the series.

Oh I already know I love it.
I personally like it better than Illusion of Gaia, but I haven't spent enough time to say whether Terranigma is better in my book.

My question is "Why even 1?" The cute factor? What is the appeal? Granted I'd buy a TurboGrafx-16 mini but then again that thing isn't oversaturated to hell and back like the NES is.

Also, excessively short controller cables are appropriate for the turbo.

   I think it is absolutely worth $59.99.  Now with the modding you can have all the NES games in a cute HDMI bundle with save states.  It brings the casual gamer a complete NES experience once reserved for only the most die hard gamers or those heavily into the emulation scene (I stated with my Dreamcast as an emulator).  The software and the presentation is very nice, I'm a fan at $59.99, just not at scalping.  Again getting 2 was pure luck.

The fact that I had two was amazing since just finding one was almost unthinkable.  Yes having a second controller is nice as well.  Also any navigation on the site was slow and I figured if I wasted any more time I'd lose out.  It was 30 mins of non stop buy it now button hammering on both my PC and cell phone.  I just ended up with 2.

She's a keeper, those are 2 great reasons to consider owning a PS4.

Had to make my own insert for the 20 in 1 master system cart. Apparently it came bundle with the master system 3 in brazil.
The game selection screen is kinda werid. its just game 1 through 20, there are no titles, you choose your game and from there you have one minute to get any many points as you can, depending on what game you play. If you meet the required score within the minute, you continue playing, if you dont meet the required score, you are taking back to the game menu. Very obscure game. im thinking to do a review on it since theres not much info at all about this game.


What are the 20 games?  I'd love to give this a try, where did you pick it up?


did a little review on the 20 in 1 master system cart if yall want to check it out. Just to let yall know, there really isnt much to it at all. Not much fan can be had with this game

More Popful Mail madness! This is a Falcom desk calendar from 1994 where each month has a different photo on it from some Falcom property. The composition for it looks pretty similar to what was included in the Falcom Special Box '94 audio collection: Ys, Xanadu, LoH and so on. A neat little find, I'm not if it was given out as a promotional item or what, there's no barcode on it that I could see.

Probably not, I don't have a ton of wall space for something like this so for now I'll probably just occasionally rotate the months.

I can probably scan them if he want em.  I will say this is a tiny little calendar though, maybe like 2/3 the size of a CD case.  Probably should have thrown something in for scale in that picture.

Most of this stuff I got at MGC.  I'm having a lot of fun collecting for the Vita.  So many nitch and unusual games for the system. 

The fighter sticks were both new-unused in the box still sealed in the baggie, despite the extensive shelf wear on the box.

Zelda is gonna keep me busy for a while.  I've only finished the starting area and just for to the first stable.

I was there, but I didn't have a lot of time.  MGC always falls on my wife's birthday and if I don't take her out for dinner that night, there's hell to pay!

Good news is for next year, she is letting me take her out a week earlier, which means I can probably have the Friday and Saturday to hang out.  I'd like to help out with the room too!

I thought about getting Rose In The Twilight, because I really liked those other cheapy NISA games in the same vein, but ultimately I was annoyed at how much shipping was going to be iirc. Definitely something I'll be looking to pick up though.

Stranger of Sword City is a game that when I first saw it, I was excited for it. Then by the time it got released here and I bought it from them, I was really burnt out on all those samey dungeon crawlers.

Pro/cons to both. I ended up going with M2 SCD. Little more reliable, easier to fix, top loading etc... M1 does look really cool though, imo.

This concludes story time with null.

So I grabbed a ton of stuff locally for free that was going to be recycled, everything cost be a grand total of absolutely nothing ($0) except my sweat hauling it. 


A Pioneer Receiver and a Sony Receiver both in nice working condition as far as I can tell.

A Bose receiver with no extra bits, but it may be worth a bit of cash if I can test it.

Sony KV-9PT60, which is a 9" color tiny trinitron and is adorable. 

A 29" Panasonic Color TV from the UK that has RGB/SCART as an input.  Haven't checked if it's working yet though since I need a step up power converter, but if it does work the picture will most likely be equivalent to an RGB modded Trinitron. 

aand..
a Harmon-Kardon T40 Turntable.  So sexy, even still has the spring stabilizer legs on it AND a nice needle.  It's in nice shape cosmetically, lid isn't cracked at all and I'm assuming the belt just needs to be replaced.

General photos from my digging through everything are here:

Got this,



(http://i.imgur.com/5fH1sBo.jpg)


So. Wait. It's?  What?


Is it a way of modding for component in a PCE? 


That looks like the RGB version - there is a component version as well - which I have just ordered to try out...


The HD Retrovision folks were saying that this is "a poorly designed ripoff" of the product offered by db-electronics. And that this has the capacitors on backwards. "Video signal quality would be compromised and eventually those capacitors will fail."

I believe the seller of these is also a member here. I wonder what he has to say about this?



I wonder if they mean the caps are in the wrong spots, because if they are on backwards (reversed) they would likely explode within a short time of powering up...

I ordered a TGCD gear from this seller too - a year or two ago and it was good (along with several orders or hucards over the years)... I'll reserve judgement until I receive mine in the mail. 


Ok - so I received it last night - the version with Component, Composite and RGB... I was unable to get component working.. just a flickering picture on a CRT which accepts component and nothing at all on an LCD...

I will try again tonight, but it isn't looking good...


Finally had a chance to hook it up again.  Ok...  It does work - I am not really sure why I couldn't get it working before (and I tried on 3 tv's!), the only thing I did differently, was I hooked up the audio at the same time - maybe it needs grounding..

Picture is super nice - I played a few games I am really familiar with to see if I could pick out any deficiencies and I could see none.  I see that he doesn't have any left right now, but for the price, I would recommend it...

Quantum Leap, nice.

I got some good shit today.

Duo R arrived from Japan. Played a fair bit of the baseball game that came with it. Another package with another PCE controller and a multi-tap. Then last a wonderful box filled with quite a few 3D0 games (mostly loose and were $1 each) and one of each 3DO controller.

This is probably the most collectardy thing I've bought in a while:

https://www.shiptoshoremedia.com/store/albums/snatcher

I don't even have a record player and probably won't get one, either.  But, I'm a huge Snatcher fan, have several of the Japanese release CDs for many years now.  This is supposedly the same version as the Sega CD version of the music which I've always liked best and none of those other CD's are based on.  Why they couldn't have just released this as a CD I dunno.  So I went full hipster, good bye $35.  You'll look cool on my shelf unlistened to in your completely obsolete media format.

Really can't believe they still haven't gotten this up on Virtual Console or Steam or PSN yet.   And that this soundtrack (this release, I mean) isn't on CD!  I would have even settled for some downloadable versions of the tracks.

Yeah I don't get this either. Surely it would sell well enough. I gladly would have bought it for PC instead of burning it off and dealing with my Sega CD to play it.

Have some gewd games arriving today. Download for the PCE from forum member Gredler, as well as Cotton 2 for Saturn.

Red Alert PCE
Record of Lodoss War PCE game
Power Golf 2 PCE
SNES Controller
Black Ops 1-2 PS3

Free extras from one of the packages: peach boy hucards, Ys IV, Emerald Dragon, Neo Metal Fantasy, a loose Mystaria Realms of Lore and a couple of Dream Theater concert blurays.

First thing I did was open the sealed games. BE FREE MY GAMES, BE FREEEE.

I've got some various ST stuff in my collection, bond movies some Les Baxter if it clicks when I flick thru the local record piles I snatch it up. Old LP's are usually like $2 each really can't balk at that.

Nice!  On a side note, I remember buying Exolon for my C64 when I was a kid, and I was super disappointed.  I don't know if I'd be more accepting of it today,  I think it was around the same time I had bought the Arcade Game Creation Kit, so maybe that was also a tough act to follow.  I also know now that it was by a british company, Hewson, and so I feel like the graphics/design were maybe originally intended for spectrum and just converted over to the C64 rather than taking advantage of it's capabilities.

Yes! 18 shitty games!

I will take this post as you are interested in knowing the list. I wasn't going to bother otherwise but here you go.

Yu-Gi-Oh: The Dawn of Destiny, XGRA: Extreme G Racing Association, Star Trek: Shattered Universe, State of Emergency, Star Wars Obi-Wan, Spawn Armageddon, Silent Hill 2: Restless Dreams, Pure Pinball, Project Gotham Racing, Outlaw Golf 1/2, Nightcaster 1/2, Just Cause, Evil Dead: A Fistful of Boomstick, DIsney's Extreme Skate Adventure, American McGee Presents Scrapland, Battlestar Galactica.

It's actually a mix of good and bad. It was all dirt cheap/under eBay. The average was under $4 a game including shipping.

well here's a breakdown on my feelings about a few of those:
Yu-Gi-Oh - I used to have a guilty spot for the card game (played it to pass the time as a lifeguard) and the video games kinda scratch that itch i still occasionally get.
XGRA: I actually like this game, though i've never really been able to put into words why
State of Emergency - I remember a lot of kids getting excited about this since it was "Edgy." but it's truly truly awful
Star Wars: Obi Wan - it's mediocre, but can be upgraded to kinda fun if you're a star wars fan
Silent Hill 2 - Not shitty at all, and it's the best console version of the game to date
Project Gotham Racing - not my style of racing game, but I've heard it's very good at what it does
Nightcaster 1/2 - They're objectively OK, but I still have a soft spot for this era of platformer
Evil Dead: A Fistful of Boomstick - ehhhhhh, it's at least better than the RE knockoff on DC
DIsney's Extreme Skate Adventure - HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, YES. PLAY IT. SUFFER AS I HAVE SUFFERED.
American McGee Presents Scrapland - the only game I'm talking about that I haven't played.  I think it looks interesting, I'd love to hear your opinion once you get to play it.

My company did the QA for Outlaw Golf back in the day (I can't remember if we did 2) and I worked on it for a few days.  I am not sure if I got credit on that one but I did for Outlaw Volleyball.  They're all sorta amusing to me, but it's probably nostalgia speaking.  I'd give it a crack though, it's definitely alright.

Gauntlet is surprisingly fun.  Very arcade-y.  Other than the rpgs most of the games are like that which I like a lot.

Crazy Taxi is excellent. Keep an eye out for a cheap copy of 2, it's also fun.

As for Ikaruga if you haven't played it, definitely burn it off.

Is that a copy of DDR Club Mix I spy at the bottom of that Dreamcast pile? I played a ton of DDR on my Dreamcast back in 2000, like 4 hours a day. Mostly 2nd Mix, but with some Club Mix layered in.

There were a lot of great games I remember on the Dreamcast. Bangai-o, Record of Lodoss War, Skies of Arcadia, Crazy Taxi, Space Channel 5, Samba De Amigo 2000, Gunbird 2, Ikaruga. I think the Dreamcast had the best balance of quality games across genres.

After finding a N64 with Ocarina of Time at a goodwill for $25, I bought my brother's N64 lot with 42 games. Looked through them all last night. Will probably sell/trade a lot of the games. But I now have two copies of Goldeneye and Ocarina of Time.

I had a few pickups these last few months and figured I’d update my finds.


Famicom Classic.  Essentially the same exact thing as the NES classic but readily available so anyone looking for a NES Classic should get this.  Slightly different games but everything is playable, Mega Man is Rock Man, Zelda still in English.  It has two hard wired MINI controllers and they are TINY.  Some games like Metroid & Zelda actually go through the Famicom Disc System and have loading screen and the extra audio sounds.  I also bought the Disc System Stand that is essentially a drawer.

Samurai Shodown IV.  Amazing game for the CD and incredible Grafx/Animation.  So many different fighting styles to keep the replay value for years.

Metal Slug 2.  Absolutely better than X after a recent play though.  I am thinking of having it modded to reduce the slowdown.

Samurai Shodown IV.  Amazing game for the CD and incredible Grafx/Animation.  So many different fighting styles to keep the replay value for years.

Is the years in your last statement to there emphasize how long it takes to load before you can actually control your character?

I hear your point but even the top loader loads ok.  I use the cdz which is on par with the PS1 in terms of load times.

Well Last Blade is one of the worst loading games there is besides KOF 99 but as I had mentioned the CDZ fixes a lot of loading issues.  I let Classic Game Room borrow my CDZ for a review to show the loading times.

Yes sir. The location near me had a SNES power adapter for $4.99 but it wasn't Ninty so I passed on it.

All the games are basically sale protected by their prices. Then again I didn't exactly dig around for more since I was getting out so cheap and already happy.

You in the midwest then?

Yeah.. St Louis County. I have gotten some good game deals at a few of the locations before, it seems like the best deals I find are on Saturn stuff (games, taps, controllers) but I have also found some cheap/mispriced Wii and original Xbox stuff

Saturn games are insane at the main location I go to. They had a pretty rough Shining Wisdom at like $220.

Whenever I go in I almost always walk out with game accessories and anime though.

I did see Outrun 2 for $6, but I already have it. Would have been more tempting if a Taito Legends (also 5.99) they had wasn't in crap shape (then I'd only need one more game), but I didn't want to try and find two more things.

Ghost in the Shell SAC 1/2 DVD
Ghost in the Shell Solid State Society BD
The Last Action Hero LD
Wangan Midnight PlayStation 3
Transformers: Devastation PlayStation 4
NHL '94 Sega CD

Just hit up the Rightstuf sale too, and some other anime on the way from eBay and Amazon. Getting some long time wants off the list now that I've been watching lots of anime again.

Will watch GiTS either tonight or tomorrow. Probably Innocence right after.

I'm getting more and more interested and I'm not sure if I want to try this out since it's new or just go for Persona 4 on Vita.

Yep, they're a little on the small end at 30.00 for the pair but I love the art style of the game so I wanted some merchandise for it.

With that said the NeoSD is a slightly more exciting purchase.

Besides the fact that some of the Neo Geo games have very high file sizes and can take a few minutes to flash. The Neo SD is a breeze to use and is a must have considering the prices of AES games for anyone who owns an AES to play games rather than collect.

I can't wait to hear some info about the NEO SD, I'll be bothering you about it often in chat if you don't make a thread post about it here.

Also gypsy have you played NHL 94 CD before? That's a cherished gsme on my shelf that has more memories than most Sega CD games. Best version of the third best hockey game of all time, enjoy man!

Besides the fact that some of the Neo Geo games have very high file sizes and can take a few minutes to flash. The Neo SD is a breeze to use and is a must have considering the prices of AES games for anyone who owns an AES to play games rather than collect.

Hey dude, I actually do play my AES games....

Nice pickups bartre!  I hit my local VS as well and got some stuff, mainly a couple cheap accessories too but also a couple games. 

I've never seen an Xbox gun like that though, looks like a GunCon 2 kind of.  I've got the big Sniper Rifle one which originally came with a Silent Scope bundle and the MadCatz Blaster ones that look like a SMG and works quite nicely.  How does that one work/feel?

Also got some figures from Japan today and some other bits, plus a new copy of Mysterious Song from our The Old Rover.  Fast shipping that is!

Anyway, got in a nice little package from Rightstuf. Old sealed anime stock from their recent sale. Nothing too great but I'll try to watch it all. One box set was even from 2005, I wonder how much was made of it to still be available sealed in 2017.  :lol:

Oh, f*ck off, pretending to be a victim. If you'd actually read any of the criticism here and didn't gloat about flipping, no one would say a god damn word.

Not sure if I've posted some of these already *thanks to Photobucket* but been craving saturn gaming again lately.

That Falcom Classics II has to return back to the ebay seller as they auctioned it as VGC 8/10 and when I pop it in the saturn it doesn't load.  Turns out there is the crack in the game disc.

Also had craving to see and HEAR Falcom games on the Saturn. That Hudson Soft and Falcom collaberation; Eiyuu Densetsu III - Shiroki Majo ie Legend of Heroes III White Witch don't disappoint in the audio..

I wouldn't accept a disc with a crack in the ring even if it worked. Makes it a ticking time bomb.

I actually don't recognize some of those games, but I'm no expert.

As for me, I got some vintage computer game magazines in the mail today. 26 issues in fact. Exciting right? Well the seller sent them in an unpadded mailer. :'(

Go for it if you want it. This stuff is a pain to search for on eBay. Most people don't use SCPH-1010 in their eBay listing which means you have to search for playstation controller more or less (maybe throw in no analog but that's going to cut legit results).

Anyway there is also a black one and a see through one.

A bit of da PCE in today.

Cheapy batch

Burai II
Tokimeki Memorial
Far East of Eden II
Mahjong Clinic Special
Quiz Tonosama no Yabo

These were all a dollar each except the Mahjong game which was $2.50. Not sure how much I'll play them, but when the cost is comparable to burning them, why not. I'll definitely play the Mahjong game though, and I do want to play Far East of Eden at some point.

Trade batch

Core Grafx
Bomberman '94
F1 Circus
Kyuukyoku Tiger
Outrun
PC Genjin
PC Genjin 2: Pithecanthropus Computerurus
Space Harrier
Super Momotarou Dentetsu II
Vigilante

F1 Circus f*ck yeah! Actually I've never played that one before and want to try it out. The rest are all old friends.

Asia.

Cheapest listing on eBay right now if you are curious: http://www.ebay.com/itm/ASIA-ENGLISH-VERSION-PSV-PS-Vita-Soul-Sacrifice-Delta-Brand-New-/262872224992?hash=item3d3467d4e0:g:96QAAOSwkRhZW6Gy

If you dig around random Asian stores online you might be able to get it for less. Some don't ship to the US though so you'd need someone to forward it to so unless you know someone that would to that, it kills the cheaper price on the item anyway to use a forwarding service.

also went back and grabbed that red digital PSX controller and a copy of taito legends 2 for PS2 (liquid kids bruh).

but the big score this week was a regular at my bar coming out while I'm working the door and asking "hey man, you play old games, right? I've got like 2 boxes of stuff I need to get rid of before I move, you want em?"
and, well....

Luigis mansion is an awesome game. That all-in-one looks promising....

I wish they had just released the oav on bd. Maybe they needed to include the dvds and release at this higher price point for the release to be more viable but meh I already have both on dvd. Hell just release both on bd separately. Then I don't have to buy Heroic Knight again just to get what I actually want.  :-#
That's all i wanted was the ova since i all ready have the tv series on dvd.Though the tv series never had a release on bluray in japan,so dvd only.At least this box set did come to NA finally,media blasters was suppose to but they drop it and funimation pick it up instead.Also picture for the ova does look really good on bluray.

I agree, my wife had gotten it and we were watching it recently and the animation looks amazing.  Only thing that's weird is sometimes it looks like a slideshow on the new TV (when they do those epic pans of a single image), I think it has to do with the refresh rate or something.

Good to hear that it's at least a solid BD release. I really like the animation in the OAV so I will pick this up at some point, but I'll wait for a sale/discount.

One thing I am getting right away is the Marmalade Boy rerelease from Discotek.

I also have some anime sets coming in from Australia. The show is called Nana and it really caught my attention after looking into it. Thank goodness for region free dvd players because no way was I giving into: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nana-Box-Sets-Anime-Complete-1-4-/253049134224?hash=item3aeae75c90:g:OgIAAOSw4ERZbBJB

PCE games
Terraforming
Star Parodier

360 OEM VGA cable

GBA SP 101 Pink w/ about 10 random GBC/GBA/DS/3DS games. As well as Star Ocean 4 360 (this is a double if anyone is interested) and a manga.

PCE games were from our very own 780racer.

Vintage Stock was doing their B1G1 ($25 or less) coupon deal so I stopped in.

Bought Saber Marionette J (Legend brick set) and Devil Hunter Yohko Collection (2008 release). Also grabbed an NES power supply for cheap that was immediately sold to another game store. All told I spent $10 on those two sets, very solid deal.

Discotek put out a dvd of that.

Speaking of which I got their BD of Castle of Cagliostro and it's great, no complaints. My dvd will now be retired.

Got some cool stuff in from a trade today. Full Metal Panic first series BD (sadly an upscale), My Neighbour Totoro BD/DVD (filling out my Ghibli wants), El Hazard the Wanderers TV DVD, Samurai Girls BD and a couple of figures. Figure boxes are so unruly.

I have a few. Most of their rereleases I'd want, I have the original release of. If I didn't though, I'd pick their releases just for shelf convenience. For example I have the old releases of stuff like GTO and Ronin Warriors which are in ridiculous digipaks especially Ronin Warriors. I would like to pick up more of Discotek's Lupin releases.

It's not that cheap. But not quite as expensive as US. About 65 of your colonial dollars will buy that speed with a phone line and unlimited phone calls. I had internet and phone for free all last year from bagging an offer from another provider that shouldn't have existed really existed.  Swings and roundabouts here. There is limited gigabit internet dotted around in very small locales.

I'd be all over that. Of course, plenty of things in the UK that cost more, but damn that's nice.

I got some nice stuff coming in the mail. Well, I'm excited for all of it anyway. It's going to require a complete reworking of a room to set-up so there is that. G70 CRT projector, MUCH better speakers than what I currently have and I'm building my own screen for it.

Ys VIII Special Edition came in the mail yesterday for my PS4.

The awesome packaging (coolest I've ever seen) is icing on the cake.  :)

Actually, no.  :P
It's just a cheapie Chinese type knock-off system filled with a few emulators and games, incl CPS1/CPS2/Neo

The emulation quality is all over the place. Some games play decently, others are tolerable and there are others where the playability is fooked.

The system case is pretty nice, though. It would be ideal to stick a Raspberry Pi in there. Which I reckon is what I'm going to end up doing with this.

I've only played KQ5 and was annoyed that to get the best sound you needed Sound Blaster.  I only had an Adlib sound card back then which iirc cost as much as a pc engine console. Soundblaster was just too much money back in the day..

After months of waiting it turns up.  OSSC

Silent Hill 2 - Not shitty at all, and it's the best console version of the game to date

It's a great survival horror game, left you with a weird feeling days after! I wanted to buy the 3rd [for PS2] and get going on it some time. The 1st PS1 title hasn't aged well though, but I forced myself to beat it so I could play in order as the movies had motivated me to take these games off my backlog a few years ago. Well worth it! :)

P. S. #1 Wow, this thread has been decimated by Photobucket's sudden attempt at monetization/going-payware for image hosting services!! Dirt bag move... :/

P. S. #2 Oh right, I do have something to add: my Ys VIII Limited Edition box for the Windows PC version arrived on Sept. 16th unexpectedly via USPS. I just selected the free shipping option (5-day regular), but I got bumped up to 2-day Priority, probably cause NIS is feeling the heat with the delay for the Steam release, not because of any favors to me and what not. I ordered it on the 12th at 9pm, it arrived on the 16th at noon, so not bad!

But yeah, since this is digital Steam product, you just got a box of collectibles, art, cloth poster, OST, manual, etc. no pressed DVD, and they've delayed the Steam download for weeks and the GOG version to follow... Fine by me since they wanted more time to polish it for whatever reasons.

I actually walked by it 2-3 times before realizing what it was exactly because it had the box as well, my brain mentally looked at the box and assumed it was another random "new" third party controller or something.

Normally I'm pretty quick to notice the accessories they have out in the baggies and dig through them looking for something that has been mispriced.  It's not often, but I've lucked out a number of times on stuff.  Only thing that sucks with the current coupon (good through Sept 28) is it only works for items $25 or under.

Thank you. Buying clothing is EXPENSIVE. However, it’s time I retire the majority of my work clothing as it they where developing holes from being 5-7 years old. So I took the opurtunity to buy something more reflective of where I am in y career. No longer a broke college student or even a state employee.

Plus I was getting tired of clients saying “who are you to tell me _____ your are just a counselor it’s not like you are a doctor or something.”

Bitch I am a a GS12 respect my authority. Lol.

Thank you. I recently maned up and spoke with a co-worker who is a retired E-9 Army. I told him Dr. Mitchell I want to improve my professional look.

Lol and what was his response?

Great we can get you from looking like a E-5 and more like a E-7 how much you willing to spend? 

Then it was all about “controlling the narrative”, and researching what is my style.

It was determined “quirky” is my style.

I think the whole E-5 thing was just his way of reminding me of my rank when I got out. Mind you I didn’t do no 26 years like he did. I just did my 8 and called it.

Two famicom games I have had my eye one for years.

https://imgur.com/gallery/WbJ3Y

Some new threads for work. Pants are just for casual Friday’s. However I plan to get taps on the shews before wearing them.
I bet those games cost you a arm and a leg  :wink: Still i'm fine just having reproductions of them a original copy is crazy expensive now.

They where no where near the cost of CIB copies. They are both loose and a little dingy looking. But since I plan to use them they won’t need to be the prettiest on the shelf.

Granted some games just seem to inflate and never go down.

It's here!! My copy of Surgical Strike for the Sega CD 32X has finally arrived after a long trip from Brazil. A custom reproduction by VGDB Brazil, this comes with a glossy hard box to hold everything, a pressed CD of the 32X version of the game (which was only released in Brazil), plus instruction manual, poster and an info/history card.
Except for a tear in the top of the box which was covered up by a sticker, production quality looks great. The game ISO was also released by the person who made these repros, but I've been waiting for the full release to try it out and compare video quality against the regular SegaCD one.

Not really, seeing as it has no screen, controller, battery compartment, or cartridge slot.  Strip it down to just the system pcb, and it'd probably fit in the SNES classic shell.

Question about cable: The 1/8”*AV-in male plug for the TurboExpress/GT
... it has three sections, correct? Video and L+R audio?

I am trying to find a generic cable because I lost/misplaced mine years ago.

Thank you in advance.

*3.5mm (I forget that most of the world laughs at our weights and measurements)

This is what I used,

I only had the 3.5mm to female AV. But that works fine too. Just connect the ends with your regular AV cables.

To get it all working I had to get the SNES mini's HDMI signal downscaled. So I used one of those cheap chinese HDMI to AV converters.

Yes, thanks for confirming. :)

I forgot you needed the extra step of HDMI —> composite, but since I have composite for all my video sources, I don’t have to worry about HDMI (yet).

I want to play some VHS VCR via TE/GT.... I found some old home movies at my parents... I thought it would be amusing for my brothers to see it displayed on a TE.

I'm sure they'd get a kick out of that. lol

Speaking of VCR's,
I keep an old VCR around purely for the reason of using it to connect older consoles that only have RF as an available connection.

So basically it's to go from RF to Composite, via the VCR. I have a couple TV's that don't pick up the signal of these old systems. This solves that issue.

An RF Demodulator would have done the same job, but those aren't exactly on the cheap side.

I do the same thing. I hook up Atari 2600, GASP 5200, 7800, Intellivision, Colecovision, Odyssey 2, and others through a VCR that connects to my PVM via composite.

Yeah and the VCR doesn't have to be functional as a player/recorder either. The heads, sensor, motor, etc, of mine are pretty much shot. But of course that doesn't matter as that's not what I'm using it for. 
You can pick them up for next to nothing nowadays.

Yeah, I didn't notice any particular improvement.

You could probably take it right up to HDMI, doubt it would do you much good. :P
If I had the time, for shits & giggles I could find one of my old Sony receivers, go RF from the console to the VCR, connect the VCR via Composite to the receiver, and then HDMI from the receiver to the TV.

Do your guy's Wendy's still (or ever had) Spicy nuggets? They got rid of them at the nearest to me so I stopped going.

Also, I prefer their honey mustard on the nugs than the bbq, with sweet and sour also beating out bbq. My wife asks for the bbq though, so I try it now and again.

I feel the same way about the BBQ, maybe I am a BBQ snob? I don't think I've tried honey mustard at other fast food chains, what are some of your other favorites which make wendy's garbage?

Same here. My wife was craving the spicy nuggets (phrasing) during her pregnancy and all the Wendy’s in our area had dropped them from their menu.

Without the spicy nuggets we have no reason to go to a Wendy’s.

Any of you try their s'awesome sauce?  I didn't think it was bad, but I'd rather have bbq or ranch.

Just got a JP copy of Soul Edge and a Free McBoot loaded PS2 memory card today. Then I need to send a PayPal payment for Elrond. Might pull the trigger on the Super CD version of Altered Beast.

the two wendy's that aren't out of the way for me dropped them somewhat recently.
the one by university dropped em over the summer, and the one by my house dropped them at the start of october.

probably good, don't need wendy's in my diet.

but they do have that sriracha sauce now, so I guess we'll see.

I can confirm my local Wendy's no longer has the spicy nuggets.
 
But.... McRib is back (at least here).

i picked up a nomad off of craigslist and did the tft lcd screen mod.  i also figured out a much easier way to wire it in than all the tutorials online.  had to use the flash because the screen was so bright that was all you could see in the pic.

I have a custom stick it is the hotness. What's your favourite 2D fighter on DC? I love so many of them.

Oh I had an Akura box arrive in the mail the other day. Quality is quite good. Seems to output at 16:9 only though? Fortunately, I was able to bypass that by routing it through a DVDO Duo. Crazy Taxi was crisp af.

Well hands down my favorite fighter is Project Justice, but idk if you'd count that as 2D straight up, it plays kinda 2.5D-ish.

Outside of that, CvS2 is hands down the most FUN to play.

Not a bad choice at all. CvS2 is excellent.

I'd have to go with Mark of the Wolves personally. Also really like and put some hours into KoF 98, KoF 02 and Last Blade 2. I would say I moreso dabbled in most others.

Went to the Buy 2 Get 1 Sale from Vintage Stock this weekend. 

Picked up a bunch of misc cables I needed like official Nintendo and Playstation AV cables, a Game Gear game, 3 copies of the same $1 Genesis Sports game just to gut for the nicer clamshells, a Game Gear rechargeable battery pack (obviously dead but I will rebuild it when I get some time), and a couple official power supplies for SNES/NES.  Almost everything worked, except for 2 of the power supplies which means I get to go through the fun of trying to return them today.  :|

Found a cheapie third party Wii U GC controller adapter,


(https://i.imgur.com/52uhCB2.jpg)





Nice step-down voltage converter for hooking up some of my older US/JP consoles. In this neck of the woods we operate on 220/230 volts.


(https://i.imgur.com/9MYon5e.jpg)





Got one of these Magic-NS controller adapters,


(https://i.imgur.com/JJndPDO.jpg)



If you're going to use a compatible controller with it on a Nintendo Switch, with the Switch being out of its dock, you need that adaptor cable (as below),



(https://i.imgur.com/vB4E7s6.jpg)





Also picked up one of these SNES to NES/SNES Classic controller adapters,


(https://i.imgur.com/5FZNayy.jpg)





With this adapter, if you wanted to you can now also use your old wired SNES sticks in a 'wireless' fashion (albeit tethered to a Wiimote) on the SNES Classic by syncing to an 8bitdo classic wireless receiver.

Wow, that is kind of a weird setup, I wouldn't call it wireless, but "less wires" ;)

But I guess if it works who cares!

EDIT: Just got a new thing!

(https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4539/26494502989_3f8924bcfd_z.jpg)

The Summon Night 6 Wonderful Edtion for the Playstation Vita is here!

Released by Gaijinworks this LE is pretty amazing, and they definitely set the bar high with this one when it comes to production values. 

Besides the game itself there is a double-sided poster, character plush, full CD soundtrack, coaster set with headshots, and a 200 page hardbound artbook! To keep it all together it comes in a heavy chipboard box with full color printing all over and magnets to keep it closed and with a helpful pull ribbon for opening.

It was a long time coming, but man was it worth it.

Some pick ups.

Got Ar Nosurge Plus in a trade.  Plan on playing this one when I'm stranded at the in-laws for three days at Christmas.  Wife said I had to remain sober with her family this year.  :(

Semisphere is a very different puzzle game from anything else I have played. Lots of thinking on this one, but very enjoyable.....the sound track is so relaxing it puts you to sleep.  It did come with a soundtrack CD that I'm going to burn a copy of it for my alarm clock and use it as a white noise machine.

Curse of Castilla is a great Ghouls N' Ghost style game.  Sound track sounds like it came straight off the Sega Genesis.  Enjoying this one a lot.  Highly recommended.

Axiom Verge.  I thought long and hard about buying this on either the Switch or the Vita.  I already had it digitally on the Vita from some sale Sony did a while back.  I hated the touch controls the Vita version used on the corner of the screen for certain abilities.  I settled on the Switch version instead for the larger screen and the extra buttons the controller.

Nice receiver!!!

I literally just hooked up a Onkyo 6xx model to my old school game center two weekends ago. I am using some old Sony satellite speakers and s-video, composite, and component for all of my systems that support them, and it actually improved the video quality of all of the connected systems. I also need to invest in a powered sub, but that and some better front speakers will have to wait until after the holidays. Enjoy and please update us with your speaker selection when they land!

The only reason the longbox doom MIGHT be better is because the disc has actual art on it.

but longboxes are dumb.
they were dumb for saturn, and they're even dumber for PSX cuz you can't really replace them

I find dragon half to be funny for an early dub.

I've had Amazon dicking up my order recently too, or maybe it's the USPS.  Either way when I pay for prime I expect the delivery windows to be correct, even if they take like 3 friggin days to ship the item.

I just had them 1 day a single Lupin movie (LOOOOL) because they waited to ship it. I ordered it Sunday and they didn't ship until yesterday. This is the kind of crap that causes them to lose money.

The wifey bought me an early Christmas gift this year. I finally got a snes mini! I'm super impressed with its build quality, especially the controllers. Great and surprising selection of games. My only complaints are the length of the controller cords though I'm sure someone out there will be making extensions for them soon.

PCE vs. MD: http://www.tg-16.com/screenshot_comparisons_action.htm#Chiki_Chiki_Boys
PCE vs. Arcade: http://www.pcengine.co.uk/HTML_Comps/Comp_ChikiChikiBoys.htm

In short, the PCE version lacks the parallax found in the arcade and FEKA versions, but it is much more faithful in representing the original Arcade art.  The PCE keeps the two player simultaneous option missing in the FEKA version, but the FEKA version adds a shop between stages where you can spend collected coins on health, weapons, etc.

Full Internet equipment upgrade for Comcast service. Bought it all a while ago but posting here now. Spent up to $300 in total...

https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10215075305105413&id=1514432607

(https://s5.postimg.cc/ifcj9cwvr/IMG_20171017_215431.jpg)

It's a new DOCSIS 3.1 modem, won from eBay, a true gigabit model. I'm hoping it can better maintain a stable connection than my old one...

The old SBG6580 became a daily problem, suffering from high noise in the cable line or too many Comcast customers in one neighborhood node, dunno what causes the noise at certain hours, but grounding IS VERY IMPORTANT to help, at least it helps reduce lost/uncorrectable TCP packets!

I made use of 2 new copper ground rods I installed outside and inside which has helped stabilize the connection better, though it hasn't been enough. I just didn't trust the old modem anymore and felt it time to upgrade in the hopes of improving the service given it supports 4x the downstream channels.

I learned that the fan mod I did to the old Motorola SBG6580 modem was VERY IMPORTANT!! The CPU runs hot, when it gets too hot, then you start seeing lost packets and the Signal to Noise ratio drop to 28 decibels which is bad, it must be above 33 for the modem to keep a stable signal...

Long story short, I had removed my fan because I thought the EM field might be a problem, but it was lack of grounding which I solved recently, so by putting a mini fan pointing at the CPU, the bastard was working pretty normally again!!!

The thing wasn't designed for a fan, I hacked/modded it given somebody else's advice I got off Google, which yeah, turns out was very necessary... Anyway, it's going in the garbage.

So new modem is stable and runs warm, NOT hot! It's working with the 2 routers I set up for it, one is for my renters who I share the ISP with. I should've bought this one a long time ago! Pretty happy so far!

WiFi Router is AC2300 from MicroCenter on sale for $99. Spent $139 on modem, $50 for a second AC1900 router, then another $20 on gold plated cat7 gigabit Ethernet cables to do it right, etc.

Christine has Ultraviolet HD included.

Cursed Castilla is pretty much the same on Vita as PS4 (I think PS4 has a few more options) but decent throwback fun.

Yesterday's mail brought me a few things: J Thunder and Fire Pro Female Wrestling for PCE; Anime Freak FX Vol. 4, Deep Blue Fleet, Farland Story FX, Tenchi Muyo, and Wakusei-Kōgekitai Little Cats for PC-FX; a nice charger stand thingy for my PSTV and PSP Go DS3 controllers; and some tasty chocolate.

All came from good egg xele.  :mrgreen:

Charger stand thingy is the technical term right?

I actually have a PCE wrestling game coming too but it will be a bit yet.

I did recently get the first 3 Ranma 1/2 bluray sets so I'm looking forward to starting that soon.

Which one ya getting?  I'm not big into wrassling games, but I was lured into snagging this one because it's one of the few Arcade Card games and it was cheap.....  it doesn't look all that fun.

I actually really like the fire pro series, been playing a fair bit of the Dreamcast one lately.

The one I have coming is also a cheapy arcade game, Battlefield 94. I have no idea how well it will play but I am interested to try it out.

Just got the Limited Edition version of The Coma: Recut from Play-Asia!

(https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4675/39884577401_69cf00254d_z.jpg)

I played this a bit on my friend's XBone awhile back and the combination of horror, puzzles, and brutal enemies made me super excited when I saw a physical version was going to be released.

Their listing says that it comes with a Collector’s Box, Game Disc + Manual (64 pages), Original Soundtrack, and Numbered Certificate.  But there were also the extra bonuses from Play-Asia in the form of the big sticker sheet, regular sticker, plus a cool rubber coaster thing that's got the name/emblem of the school from the game. Definitely not bad for $30 (plus shipping).

Looks like they are also still in stock if anyone is interested:

I agree, if you've noticed I have not been buying/posting very much LRG stuff at all in the last like 8 months or so.  This game I have already played a bit though and really enjoyed and wanted to drop the cash on the physical/LE version of it.  Reviews on Steam are positive as well, but with all things the decision is up to each person if they want it ;)

Just got these two. Finally replaced my mislaid asterix for master system. Been missing for years. Randomly saw it in a second hand shop window for £2.
Axiom verge is great fun. The glue the outlay was stuck on with is stupid strong though. No way to avoid ripping the outlay and marking the box. I know it’s just a box but still butt hurt. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180127/2604c43c8ecbc7c21f92796d50cea3da.jpg)

Carrying case type thing? My favorite Vita accessory is the hard protective shell that came with the Muramasa LE.

I bought one of these last year, with the box, docs, etc. but not the game or case: https://i.ytimg.com/vi/X9n_XnLouUY/maxresdefault.jpg

Because I'm autistic, I had to get 'em both and make it a complete set again.  :mrgreen:

The case is okay and will keep the dust out, but it's a lot thicker than I was expecting it to be.  I also don't think it'd protect all that well (for a hard case) and would collapse along the zipper if it ever got squished.

Heh. For awhile it was like $20-25 or so.

I've not really been buying LEs lately anymore, too bulky.

It's not a case like what Necro has anyway though, it's a hard shell that goes over the Vita.

I stopped buying them the season where the set was shaped like Homer's head.  If memory serves, that's still a good season but it was close enough to where I stop liking the show that I was fine justifying not buying the DVDs because of a dumb shaped box that didn't work well on a shelf.

IIRC those sets were released in regular boxes as well I could be wrong it's been a while

The first wasn't originally.  After the lashback of jerks like me, Fox sold boxes online or something.  A friend of mine was able to send away to Fox for a box at some point but I think those were never sold in stores...?  I know that later seasons did have both options.

Went by Vintage Stock this morning. 

Not a ton there, got some cheapo Genesis games to gut and swap cases with my other ones, for a couple bucks.  Then a Sega AC, Vita Charger, and 6 button pad for $10.

But, I had a great score after I was looking around sections I don't normally visit.  Went by the Comic/Manga section and found these!
(https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4694/38496524330_135d357832_z.jpg)

The Battle Angel Alita: Last Order manga: Volumes 11-15

I almost shat my pants when I saw them, for those who don't know (which is probably most people) Viz Media released the Alita manga in comic form starting in 1995.  They did a couple revisions of the original series, and then when Kishiro did Last Order they started translating/releasing them as well.  They released it up until late 2011 and then the license went to someone else, Kodansha Comics, who continued releasing the last several volumes.  Viz did 1-15, and Kodansha did 16-19, and then released Omnibus editions later.  But, the later Viz volumes are like incredibly expensive and hard to locate anymore, hence why I was elated to get these at only $5. 

I suppose you might be asking, why didn't I keep purchasing the series after volume 10 and got behind?  Well, I used to buy all my manga at Borders back then, and when they folded (mid 2011 near me) I was left with no easy way for me to get the volumes anymore so I just forgot about it.  When I realized Last Order had ended a couple years back I started to look for the missing volumes, but was saddened to see there were a number that were so expensive, and I really didn't want to rebuy the whole thing in Omnibus edition.  So, it's been a couple years coming, but I've finally got the volumes I for Last Order I didn't think I'd ever find.

Not much of a purchase, just a DB9 to PSX controller adapter. Mainly got it for my Amiga CD32, and Commodore  64.

I tried it as well on a Master System. I tested it with a wireless PS2 controller and receiver. No issues with button mapping. It works fine. You can use the analog sticks as well.
Only thing was the DB9 end of the adapter wouldn't fit flush in the SMS controller port. So I had to use a controller extension cable as a workaround.

I don’t. However the guy I bought it from has loads of VHS and DVDS at the flea market. When I go back (might be a while) I’ll see if he has the other volumes.

If you have the other VHS tapes for Gunbuster as well I'd be interested if you are looking to get the BD instead.

I don’t. However the guy I bought it from has loads of VHS and DVDS at the flea market. When I go back (might be a while) I’ll see if he has the other volumes.

Awesome thanks. There should just be 3 of them for the original Gunbuster.

I just played through Star Fox 64 (not its intended use with fighters) and I like the controller so far.

I'm curious if it will be legal for Smash 64 tournaments.  It looks like it has a much better layout than the original N64 pad.  If I was more of a fan of the system I'd likely pick one up myself.

Does it have a good weight to it/not feel too cheap/light?

It feels pretty sturdy, the analog stick on it is pretty precise which was my biggest worry with it. I am going to try a 3D platformer next.

I played a little Conkers bad fur day, I picked up a save a ways into the game and am terrible at it. I am going to try Mario 64 sometime later to see how momentum (running, slowing down) feels, but it's in a box and it requires digging it out. I also played Kirby and the Crystal Shards and can say the d-pad placement is an improvement over the regular N64 pad from a comfort standpoint.

Yeah, I don't really know much about that Adol figure. I found it on ebay. :D

He's pretty cool though! I've got a couple of Ys posters on the wall behind him. You can see the map from Ys Books I & II in the background. There's another Ys poster above it.

Looks like it was a trading figure, from one of those blind box jobs they do in Japan.

And I know there was a weird one for the Sega ports of Adol's first name.

Croixleur Sigma

That's how I remember playing it too. I spent a ton of money playing it back then because I loved how the car moved (much like the earlier After Burner game). It was pricey, but worth it.

I bought a Windows 7 Professional Product Key for only $2.53. Now that they're dirt cheap, as Win 7 support is good for another 2 years and the free Windows 10 upgrade period is over, I said why not to fully complete my upgrade from Vista finally. I didn't trust these key sellers, I didn't think Windows Activation was gonna work, but it did so purty cool to get that out of the way!

I think Windows 7 was the cleanest OS Microsoft produced, all the best of XP & Vista and less of the worst. Windows 8.1 moved the OS into the tablet craze of interface design, same with Windows 10 but with more spying like Google's Android, pretty much moving it to that model.

Well, I dunno how long I should stick with it, but I'll see how it goes in the next 2 years for my home PC. All my tablets are Windows 10 now (up'ed free from 8.1), and my phones are Android, so I have them all at my disposal to continue learning from on occasion.

https://s5.postimg.cc/5r73kzgzr/Screenshot_2018-04-10-19-45-19.png

Listing was quickly deleted after seller finished off his batch, but you just eBay search "windows 7 key" to find others.

Post by: NightWolve on April 10, 2018, 05:57:13 PM
I bought the others right before it (HD Collection, Home Coming), just was part of collecting all Silent Hill games for my...backlog. ;)

Will see, but definitely I will make this an Ys 8 year, NIS America announced the PC Steam version will be ready next week, so I will definitely make time to beat that soon after I get it installed. I did beat my friend's game Insanity's Blade a few weeks ago too, so that's off the backlog.

Tangent: Speaking of Ys 8, I was supposed to make my Falcom raffle thread already, but I'll try tomorrow...

But let's do a quicky summary, 10 possible winners:

* 150 post minimum, and I reserve the right to exclude trolls
* 1st Grand Prize: Ys 8, Xanadu Next and Gurumin Steam codes
* 2nd Prize: Just Ys 8 and Gurumin
* The rest win just Gurumin Steam or GOG codes if you prefer.

Contest has been in place since September, but only 7 members gained from Facebook as I kept procrastinating to make a raffle thread here and better present it.

I talked to Johnny Millenium/Happy Console Gamer, asked if he could retweet my raffle link when ready, so that should help get it noticed. At least 40 participants would be good since 10 prizes to give away for now.

I haven’t picked up to many XBONE games. Any exclusive physical games worth getting? 

So far I only have

Ori
Killer instinct


Not sure if you like racing games, but the Forza games may be the best on the system.

Then there is Halo and Gears of war, both are cheap enough now cause they are old, you might as well try them.

Sea of Theives is the shiny new exclusive, but it wasn't great to me.

Sunset Overdrive was fun.

Rare replay, though it's all old games so not really exclusive.

PUBG is console exclusive, but not physical.

Cuphead may be best game on system for people who like old shit, but not (yet) physical.

I bought a Windows 7 Professional Product Key for only $2.53. Now that they're dirt cheap, as Win 7 support is good for another 2 years and the free Windows 10 upgrade period is over, I said why not to fully complete my upgrade from Vista finally. I didn't trust these key sellers, I didn't think Windows Activation was gonna work, but it did so purty cool to get that out of the way!

I think Windows 7 was the cleanest OS Microsoft produced, all the best of XP & Vista and less of the worst. Windows 8.1 moved the OS into the tablet craze of interface design, same with Windows 10 but with more spying like Google's Android, pretty much moving it to that model.

Well, I dunno how long I should stick with it, but I'll see how it goes in the next 2 years for my home PC. All my tablets are Windows 10 now (up'ed free from 8.1), and my phones are Android, so I have them all at my disposal to continue learning from on occasion.

Listing was quickly deleted after seller finished off his batch, but you just eBay search "windows 7 key" to find others.

Was this 32-bit or 64-bit Windows 7 at that price?
Title: Re: teh "what did you buy today"-thread
Post by: NightWolve on April 14, 2018, 03:03:24 AM
Happily for 64-bit! It seemed like all would say the universal key was for both but maybe worth paying attention to.

My friend/neighbor gave me 2 of his old PCs some time back, one was stripped so I could up the DDR2 System RAM to 6GB for my classic 2008 PC tower. You must go 64-bit or Windows won't see past 3GB RAM.

FYI, if you're interested, these key offers go up and down quickly for some reason (MS don't like em?), so you gotta keep an eye out I guess. The guy also emailed me a 2015 Visual Studio Enterprise key as a secret bonus BTW, I might have some use for that IF the key works (something tells me there's something shady with these dudes, heh).

A couple months back I had picked up a bunch of HD-DVD's on the cheap, still sealed.
I only very recently had a chance to start going through all of them.

Had no idea that disc rot was even a thing with this format. 8 out of the 12 Warner Bros discs that I tried, ranged from having a sort of clouding effect on screen, to random disc read errors, to being unplayable. All the others -Universal, Paramount Pictures, Dreamworks, etc, played fine.

I bought a Superman BluRay, the original classic with Christopher Reeve, left it stored for a year till I decided to watch both with the Richard Donner Cut sequel (terrible BTW, original Cut is better), so I try the BluRay, it looks perfect, totally new but it's dead!!

Just as well, I'd like to buy the 4K version someday so no big deal. Apparently there were lots of bad BluRay batches and you could get replacements from some movie distributors directly for their screw ups. I tried, I got a DVD replacement... Heh. The customer service rep screwed that up too.

So it happens on Blu-ray's as well?
I mean I thought that was an issue that was done and dusted when the LaserDisc age came to an end. That and if you store them where there is no dampness or extreme temperatures, that they'll be just fine. Just goes to show you how out of the loop I am with that.

In my case, I haven't had a single DVD or Blu-ray disc go bad in that way. But as I said, Blu-ray's "rival" at the time-HD-DVD, and most especially their discs by Warner, as I have now found out, are affected by that.

Not quite the same problem but I pointed this out because people need to immediately open their BluRays after purchase and make sure they work! Durrrr...

What happens is I stop by Walmart, BestBuy, Target, MicroCenter, etc. to occasionally build up the home theater library, especially on Black Friday sale events. If good BluRay classics sell for cheap, even if I seen them many times on DVD, I'll grab them for storage until the day I buy my LG OLED 65" dream TV to truly complete the home theater with rocking surround sound! :)

I have a 43" 4K TV (LG TVs ARE fantastic as PC monitors too!) for my workdesk/bedroom, but my theater system area was still sticking with a 32" Panasonic CRT, nearly my last attachment to CRT as I threw many away aside from a small 13" one for RGB mod testing/study/learning.

Anyway, I bought many BluRays of the greats like Predator, Total Recall, Matrix, StarGate, Aliens, RoboCop, Terminator 2, The Fifth Element, Batman/The Dark Knight, etc. stuff I'd wanna watch again on a beautiful LG 65 incher eventually, but I left them in shrink wrap and didn't think, "Duh, better make sure they work..." Well, that was a mistake!

Turns out Warner Bros. had bad batches go loose right from the factory (happened to Sarumaru with Project Yuki even), so they instituted a hotline to exchange bad discs. I tried, returned mine in paid-for envelope they sent, I got back a Superman DVD which ironically used to own another copy of but gave to my friend AFTER upgrading to BluRay a year back, hahaha!!!! Thanks for trolling me Warner Bros.!

What sucks now is for the movie library I built up, I want such movies in beautiful, luscious 4K resolution BluRay instead, I stocked up on 1080p which doesn't compare to 4K in quality... But such is the dilemma with upgrade mania, 8K is around the corner too, and someday we'll be able to buy physical media in the same resolution as what the movie was shot in which would end the upgrade cycle for the most part (can't do better than theater resolution).

Point is these bad batches right out from the factory don't speak to the longevity problem, things like disc rot. A good BluRay is supposed to be long-lasting and very scratch-resistant given the tough coating that's used compared to any prior optical disc technology.
Title: Re: teh "what did you buy today"-thread
Post by: Gypsy on April 15, 2018, 05:33:43 AM
The original BD release of StarGate is shit btw. Not sure what release you have but I have both and noticed big differences so I wanted to mention it.

Sadly both BD releases of Predator are shit but...the first one is...less shit? Kind of a matter of preference but basically they went overboard trying to correct shit in the second release and Arnold looks like he belongs in a wax museum.

And yeah it's annoying but I always at least spot check discs when I buy stuff new to make sure the disc isn't doa.

I'm generally happy enough with blu-rays compared to 4K. I don't feel the need to upgrade. But then I also don't watch movies on a massive display so that's a factor. A lot of recent blus of older moves are from 2-4k new transfers anyway, so they upscale very well and look good.

Ys III: Wanderers from Ys - you just bought one of the greatest, most blindingly awesome soundtracks in videogame history! Respect and appreciate that!

Downside is the voice-acting quality dropped to Last Alert standards unlike the well-funded effort of Ys Book I&II that tried hard to put the Ys series on the map, AND they pulled a Zelda II side-scrolling monkey-see/do copycat switch only to rightly abandon it for Ys IV.

Oh man, honestly, no loss... What was it that really offended me ? :-k The time travel use was just more ridiculous, but it doesn't bother me as much as the first one... I just remember being really excited and let down...

Richard Donner was a top notch director once upon a time, he lost a bit of his mojo it seems... He did another time travel movie in the early 2000's I bought which was nothing special. Didn't live up to the hype.

Obviously there was a lot of studio interference. So I'm sure even the "Donner Cut" isn't what his whole vision for the movie would have been if left to his sole judgement.

Well, my dear Necro, based on how you asked your question, I'm guessing you already know exactly what it is.  And you are correct.  As far as price, I paid $500 to the original owner, and it's pristine.  It looks like one is going to sell on ebay for at least $1k

Got a lot of flak for that but even if I were the type to do something else with it, I considered it necessary. Why? Because the discovery was shared live on social media. If we didn’t demonstrate that the police had it then we’d likely have druggies and dealers figuring out where we lived and beating our door down. If not them, we’d probably have police asking what we did with it if anyone believed it at all. Who wouldn’t convince themselves that it’s just an April Fools prank if we didn’t take the next step of making a police report?

NY Post never talked to us but they did independently obtain and confirm the police report, adding a lot of credibility that was missing before (regardless of their reputation). There are still a lot of skeptics but now I can point them there. [emoji4]

Before even taking them the police asked if we were OK with them throwing it all away and we assured them that it was OK with us. We likely won’t see any part of them again.

Lol, that's pretty nuts.  I've found weed in a PS2 before (expansion in the back), but what you found it probably the stuff that gets you a stint in pound you in the ass prison if you got caught selling it.  Good on you for contacting the cops ASAP though.  Any idea when you'll get the games back?
Got a lot of flak for that but even if I were the type to do something else with it, I considered it necessary. Why? Because the discovery was shared live on social media. If we didn’t demonstrate that the police had it then we’d likely have druggies and dealers figuring out where we lived and beating our door down. If not them, we’d probably have police asking what we did with it if anyone believed it at all. Who wouldn’t convince themselves that it’s just an April Fools prank if we didn’t take the next step of making a police report?

In the unlisted “full police visit” video (linked in the description, you can hear us lament about exactly that. [emoji20]

We voiced concern that this might increase scrutiny for other innocent collectors who already have horror stories about new/sealed stuff being opened for inspection.

Sucks!

My copy of FX Unit Yuki safely arrived last Friday night:

(https://s5.postimg.cc/s3k3tbgpz/FXUnit_Yuki_Unpacking.jpg)

There was a slight problem though, I backed the tier for the OST CD which wasn't included, but I talked to Jesse and it should ship out next couple of days, so no big deal.

I regret I didn't pony up the cash for the Treasure Box LE, but ah well.

The guy with the dog mask is a tipster reporting that this a a big hit RPG that needs no introduction, you can choose freely the scenarios and the game has a groundbreaking magic system!

FROM MAKERS SIDE
Socerian originally appeared on pc and in the game the player can choose the characters and scenarios which is a big appeal.  From the original game 7 scenarios made it bringing a total of 10 scenarios.  There are 60 jobs to perform and variety of magic.  The music composition is from Kenji Kawai.  Do not miss the fun!!

My FX Unit Yuki soundtrack safely arrived today separately. I asked Jesse to throw in a Saru signature, so all set.

For their troubles since they had to eat extra shipping cost for the mistake, I offered to make them a nice Yuki ad at the PCEFX forum root using the basic news feature. I must admit, the ad worked out nicely. I didn't expect to go that far, but I wanted to have fun with it, pretty much finished now.

I personally did want this to be the most successful PC Engine Kickstarter project in history, and while $35,000 was respectable, it wasn't a smashing success, the team still needs all the help it can get! So whatever marketing you guys can do using your social media accounts to help them see new sales beyond us backers, please do so! :)

:yuki: :geni: :duran:

P. S.

You can listen to Simon Johansson's soundtrack for Yuki in its entirety at the below link. It can be purchased digitally for only $5 USD.

I bought a Windows 7 Professional Product Key for only $2.53. Now that they're dirt cheap, as Win 7 support is good for another 2 years and the free Windows 10 upgrade period is over, I said why not to fully complete my upgrade from Vista finally. I didn't trust these key sellers, I didn't think Windows Activation was gonna work, but it did so purty cool to get that out of the way!

I think Windows 7 was the cleanest OS Microsoft produced, all the best of XP & Vista and less of the worst. Windows 8.1 moved the OS into the tablet craze of interface design, same with Windows 10 but with more spying like Google's Android, pretty much moving it to that model.

Well, I dunno how long I should stick with it, but I'll see how it goes in the next 2 years for my home PC. All my tablets are Windows 10 now (up'ed free from 8.1), and my phones are Android, so I have them all at my disposal to continue learning from on occasion.

https://s5.postimg.cc/5r73kzgzr/Screenshot_2018-04-10-19-45-19.png

Listing was quickly deleted after seller finished off his batch, but you just eBay search "windows 7 key" to find others.
Was this 32-bit or 64-bit Windows 7 at that price?

Hey Dan, I was trying to remember to return here to warn you since you asked and seemed interested...

About 2 weeks after Windows 7 was activated and working fine...I get the "not genuine" message, desktop goes all black... I'm like, "Ah man, what, why?" So...Microsoft would go on to block the product key I got from the seller...

I talked to an employee at MicroCenter about this, the Chicagoland location on Elston/Diversey and he says, nope, not gonna fly, you can't buy new ones from Microsoft, they only wanna sell ya Windows 10 keys... I didn't get an explanation why the unused key got activated by Microsoft, worked for 2 weeks, then due to spying and re-validation attempts from time to time, the system decided to "change its mind," block the key, say "too bad sucka."

The seller got away with my $2.53, so ah well... I went back to using the trial mode trick.

Ugh, Oh well. I have Vista still working on an old laptop and no reason to change it for now even though less and less applications support it.

Worst case scenario is I can install a Linux distro on it down the line.

Would the game play well with a racing wheel?  I spent more than I shouldve on a wheel setup and am always looking for more games to play with it.  Somehow, a handful of arcade racers just dont feel right with a wheel.

Being a superstation, WGN Chicago is inadvertently national news. :)

A CNN guy contacted me and marketed it to the CNN affiliates but I don’t think that means HLN or CNN proper. I’ve seen his package show up on local stations like this:

They didn’t test it during their visit and the police report only gives a physical description (NY Post quotes the police report). Newnan PD passed it on to Carrollton PD and Carrollton never contacted us. :( Of the people reaching out to me who would know, they unanimously say it’s some kind of heroin.

I’ve been told that the street value of heroin is typically $20 per 100mg, which is $22,600 (!) for the 4oz we found. Since it appears to be pure/uncut, it could be significantly more valuable.

Yeah, it definitely made the rounds. :) On 4-20 (hurr hurr!) Jimmy Fallon even made a pot joke out of it:

Ah, that's just as well, you did the right thing to take it off the streets! One of my best friends overdosed on that stuff, it's incredibly destructive, it had ruined his life for well over a decade... He tried a methadone clinic for a few years to ween off of it but got addicted to that also...

Since I was the family contact to his aunt who coincidentally called me as he was dying on that stuff (mixing it with alcohol), I had to break the news to her when I saw police and ambulance arrive at his house... I walked in as the medics were giving up resuscitation telling me it's over for him... :/

That’s terrible! My best friend’s wife is hooked on opioid pain killers but is still in denial even though she has tried to get... street alternatives. I have no doubt she feels real pain, but I’m sure it’s amplified by withdrawal. It causes daily conflict with my friend and is ruining his marriage so I hope she gets help soon.

Yeah, prescription narcotics are insane when you think about how addictive they are. 

I was reading something recently where they talked about how in the 70-80s many narcotics had side effects that were so bad that it made it easier to get off them, nowadays there are almost no side effects which makes getting off them even harder.

I've got a lot of catching up to you to do...I'm still happy with MSX carts for now. I didn't get a real pad so I hacked up a genny 3-button and it's fine for now. My initial thoughts on the MSX: I knew the scrolling would be choppy, so that was not much of a disappointment, but the music more than makes up for it!

That cover art is way better than the PC Engine version! I really enjoyed the game in the arcade but the PC Engine version was lackluster. Hopefully they did a better job on the Mega Drive version for you.

Ninja Warriors,for the sega/mega-cd is a very faithful port to the arcade original.It is way better compared to the pc-engine version.Also it's soundtrack is great given it was done originally by taito in house band zuntata.

Someone I know was clearing out some of their old anime and I am dumb enough to buy it.

It's all shelved now, which took a lot of reorganizing but these are quick and dirty pics from the day I got all of it. Lots of old releases here for the most part.

Unfortunately the license to Funimation expired and it reverted to Aniplex. They released a BD but it's now oop too. I got all this for well under eBay sold rates of course as I've known the couple I bought it from for about 9 years now (wow times flies).

Speaking of which this has impacted Darker Than Black S1 as well. I am importing a dvd copy of the first season from the UK, only about $20 US w/ shipping within England and then reshipping to me. If this show interests anyone here, I'd be sure to pick up Season 2 + OAVs BD before the license expires.

The Muv-Luv Trilogy Collector's Box - PS Vita Kickstarter Edition has finally arrived!
Almost 3 years after I made the initial pledge I'm happy to see this finally get delivered on my front door. The package contained a lot of stuff, here's a quick rundown though:

1) The physical PS Vita games for Muv-Luv (includes Muv-Luv Unlimited on the cartridge as well) & Muv-Luv Alternative

2) The Collector's Edition Box; within which there is a Muv-Luv game creator signature(!) on Limited Edition Sticker, Kickstarter Edition Physical Artbook, and Physical OST CDs

3) Max Factory Figma SP-037 Kagami Sumika Action Figure (also Kickstarter Exclusive)

There are also a number of digital rewards that I got along the way, but they don't really show up that well in a picture :p

Lone Wolf and Cub (6 movie set), Tokyo Drifter, Gate of Hell, High & Low, Zatoichi (25 movie set) and Rebel Samurai: Sixties Swordplay Classics (4 movie set). I wish the Samurai set was on BD but at least Criterion dvds are pretty decent.

In my opinion it is VERY worth the upgrade.   Dvdbeaver have a pretty good comparison of some shots,  a lot more detail and the remastered sound with no 5.1 bullshit really make this worth an upgrade.

My new import copy of Ys I&II Chronicles [JP Microsoft Windows PC] safely arrived yesterday via USPS from RyuHayabusa for a mere $33 pesos. Kept it nice'n'sealed in excellent condition so purty cool! The big box was so light, I was worried for a moment thinking I might be getting pranked, but all was fine. He packed it excessively well. I don't think it has a manual, it's a really small box with probably just folded material and a DVD in its paper sleeve (I'm guessing).

Best part of course is not seeing the poison that is XSEED Games written on it, I'd rather take the Japanese than touch anything those corrupt, criminal clown jobs published via worker abuse/exploitation/IP Rights violations (pertaining to my Ys translation software) by exploiting my early fan translation projects in secret collusion with my backstabbing partner... The Ys VIII sealed box I grabbed for the photo just for the hell of it, I wanted to do an unboxing video with it, but alas, I still suck at video editing and I doubt I'll follow through on that desire. No reason to open it sooner though since the game is a digital Steam download and I already installed/tested it months ago (Works fine with my new Windows 7 build, although I did cause one crash).

Anyway, I didn't need this, Falcom has so many variations/reboots/repackages of Ys Eternal (Ys Complete LE/XP/Popular Edition) followed by Chronicles (so Ys Eternal -> Ys Complete -> Ys Chronicles) so it's strictly a collectible why-not kind of thing and Ryu offered a new/sealed box pretty cheap compared to eBay (about $15-$20 less). It's kinda funny how they recycled this over and over again, it feels like there's nostalgia in their own ranks about it and it's not just more cash-grabs on their part. I dunno, but I still love the company since growing up with Ys Book I&II for better or worse.

Get SSD speeds and inject new life into your laptop or desktop PC with a solid state drive from Inland Professional. With a fast, reliable Inland Professional SSD, you will experience quicker boot-up and shutdown, quicker application response and data transfer speeds than with a typical hard disk drive without purchasing a new computer.

Specifications

Endurance: 175 TBW
Color: Black
Capacity: 240GB
Read Speed: 550 MB/s
Write Speed: 490 MB/s
Interface: SATA 3.0 6.0Gb/s
Form Factor: 2.5"
Architecture: 3D TLC NAND Flash
Random Read 4K: 42,000 IOPS
Random Write 4K: 80,000 IOPS

I bought this a year ago, but I'm really happy with the product and I know some people here shop at MicroCenter which is where I bought my first home PC (Compaq Presario) in 1996 so wanted to pass the deal along. Great computer/electronics store, so many great gadgets wind up in there some times for dirt cheap, especially with open-box markdown sales when items are returned. So anyway, I recommend the SSD upgrade if you're still using a 7200 RPM spinner in your desktop or tower PC...

Had I waited a year or so though, I would've purchased the next model up for 480GB which is more comfortable while still using a secondary 1-2TB spinner for long-term storage of videos, photos, music, projects, backup, etc.

The 480GB is also on sale for $70!

Whatever brand you like, the SSD is an awesome upgrade though if replacing any traditional 5400/7200 RPM spinner! Just makes using a PC so much more pleasant and responsive, etc.

I see new desktop PCs still being sold with a 1TB 7200RPM spinner as standard, but I'd never go back to that, it's an insult - the fast boots and incredible app-loading improvement with a SSD is a God-send! The transition of a new, affordably-priced standard with SSD for OS/boot and an extra larger-sized spinner for general storage is happening, but yeah, they're still unloading PCs built on the old model.

With a little help I finally finished a neat little Game Gear subset, the US Codemasters games! (AKA "those really weird looking Game Gear carts")

You probably notice that Fantastic Dizzy, unlike the rest of the games, doesn't have purple stripes which typically denote US versions.  This seems to be the case for all copies, both Euro and US as far as I can tell, and similarly CJ Elephant from both regions has the purple stripes, where normally Euro copies just had a solid purple background.

This means the real standouts in terms of "US" copies are Cosmic Spacehead, Micro Machines, and the quite sought after Pete Sampras Tennis.  The latter of which can be increasingly difficult to locate even for sale, let alone for a decent price nowadays.  I'm happy to finally have all 5 in my collection.

Well look what showed up from Sarumaru! I got FX Unit Yuki the Henshin Engine for the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive and the reprint version of the PC Engine/TurboGrafxCD version.

I had missed MGC this year, so I also begged for a promo or two from the show and he threw some extra stuff in like the little promo cards and a Yuki magnet.  It's a solid translation but the soundtrack on the PC Engine version is so good.

Randomly spotted this in a bookstore today. It was so strange seeing something PCE-related in a mainstream shop.
I didn't even know it was available in Korean. Makes me think it will probably be available in English eventually.

Picked these up from Vintage Stock the other day when they had a sale, all are CIB.
Barbie Super Model (GEN)
T2 The Arcade Game (GEN)
Vectorman (GEN)
Outrun (GEN)
Golden Axe II (GEN)
Fatal Labyrinth (GEN)

A couple are dupes and some are variants I wanted.  For example I have the gatefold version of T2 but this one was like $2 so I figured why not.  All are complete with the manuals too, got a pretty decent deal so yay!

I got really lucky on this one, the price on it was quite reasonable with the Buy 2 Get 1 sale that was going on.  I only had a loosie until now as well.

I was going to take it home based on the artwork alone, but once I saw George Clinton's name on it, I realized this was a Funkadelic album and it was a no-brainier. I listened to it tonight and it's psychedelic funk alright.

That Wild Cherry record is another funk album. "Play That Funky Music, White Boy" is on this record. :D

So I've been buying almost the entire collection of a guy. I already got insane Dreamcast, PS1 and Saturn lots from him and now this. Everything except Ninja Gaiden, PB4 and the TV show are from him. DK64 and the GB game were tossed in as total freebies apparently, I can't complain. I've got a CIB Turbo Express system + official bag as well as more Dreamcast stuff still in the mail from him. TOTALLY AWESOME.  :icon_cat_happy:

TURRRRBO. I actually need a way to play US hueys now as I only have JP systems. The Turbo Express once repaired is an option but I plan to get something to hook up to a CRT as well.

Here are the other lots I got from the guy

Bangai-O
Skies of Arcadia
Capcom vs SNK
Grandia II
Phantasy Star Online version 1
Record of the Lodoss War
Sega Smash Pack Vol.1
Virtual-On Oratoria Tangram

Everything has been in amazing condition too.

Thanks. I'm stoked for the Express as it's something I never could have justified buying at normal prices. I'm sure everyone has seen the bag and everything but yeah I am 100% taking pics when I get it.  :deadhorse:

Also my copy of Lunar SSSC was really ratty and I had been meaning to upgrade so that was super nice too. And with some of the other games you don't know how far from a 9/10 yours is sometimes until you see one that nice. It's not that I damage things, all my stuff bought new is really nice, I'm just cheap and got the previous stuff on deals too and the condition was reflected more in the price on those.

I'm currently rather enjoying Xenogears.

I saw this by chance and loved the total compatibility between U.S. and Japan consoles. Honestly, I hadn't thought of a region mod. It wasn't until literally like two days ago that I considered modding my system for SCART. At least I didn't spend 200~300 USD on a Kisado.  :shock: :-[

Personally, composite on PCE is really good so I never went RGB/SCART on my consoles. I do happen to have an RX in my house that was modified tho for RGB, it is not mine but a friends that I keep at my place since he has no RGB CRTs...possession is 9/10th right? :)

As for Kisado's...back in the 90's it was the best damn converter. I should sell mine since I really have no need for it other than playing US Klax on PC Engines :)

Holy bejeebus. I would keep the Kisado, if anything for rarity's sake. The reason I am going to go SCART is because I have an OSSC. I can't wait to play Akumajo on the big screen!

I've always wondered what the CD Battle game is like.  Does it read data off audio CDs like the Monster Rancher games to create the battles?

It's similar but much more limited.  Each player inserts a CD to create a three person team, then you fight a turn based rpg style battle, and that's it.  As soon as one side wins the battle, you go back to the team creation screen and can try a new CD(s) and fight again.

It was a quick cash grab to get in on the barcode battle thing.  And I suppose it worked and made a good profit, as it couldn't have cost much to throw together.

Still, it would've been so much better had they thrown together a small world map, a town, and a dungeon or two; even if you could complete it under an hour, it would've been soooo much better.

Yep. Lost potential. It's too bad we don't see more of those kinds of games on current systems. I guess CDs just aren't a thing anymore with everything going digital-only.

basically a Hori split pro controller as joycons...like $50 on Amazon.  SOOOO much more precise (real d-pad), and better for bigger hands/longer play sessions.  ONLY downside....no internal batteries so only can be hooked up directly.

There are SO MANY REFERENCES to the TV show.  It's awesome. And it's a very sandbox kinda game, so it feels like you can just keep flying until someone achieves all  the objectives. I'm not sure I'll ever win this game.

Besides my sweet Secret Santa swag, I got Borderlands 2 and World of Final Fantasy for Vita.  Though not game related, I also got some DVDs that I'm looking forward to watching:  Running Time (more Bruce!) and both seasons of Sarah Connor Chronicles.  I hope Santa was good to the rest of y'all too.

A couple of days ago I received a Miyoo Mini! It's tiny and adorable.

Here's where I got it from: https://www.keepretro.com/products/miyoo-mini
It looks like they are sold out but are shipping more in Feb. They are still available on Aliexpress for about the same price, though.

Recent purchases have brought me 14 new (to me) PC-FX games, 100 new white jewel cases to replace the various broken and yellowed ones in my collection, and a USB adapter that lets me use a wireless mini TG16 pad with my Duo.  Good stuffs!
