teh "what did you buy today"-thread

[Mathius]

is that montezuma's complete? all said that sounds like a great starter deal.

I have an extra FM expansion chip if anyone's interested in an SMS mega mod (s-vid, rca's, FM audio)

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.

The mod that Jeff did for me has a switch where you can switch between FM and PSG.

Perfect!! I'll probably go ahead and do it if he is willing! Love me some SMS.

Got these in the mail today.    Some of it is going to my step-son now that he is getting into the Turbo.

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.

Picked up nice, complete copies of Terra Cresta II, Dead Moon, and Bonk's Revenge (all PCE versions) for $112 shipped.  Did I do alright or do I need to turn in my F@CK EBAY card?

[Opethian]

TC II caravan mode is the best part of the game!@!

[Opethian]

damn does the Vita port of those offer anything the PS3 didnt?

[storino03]

It's the same as the ps3 version except it lacks MGS Peace Walker (PSP port) in HD.

[Opethian]

so it has all the sustance / subsitance stuff on the games as well?

[Joe Redifer]

Still no Metal Gear Solid 1.  That game simply isn't popular enough for HD, it can go straight to hell.  Everyone wants to play as Raiden, anyway.

[Mathius]

I think I am going to pick up the PS3 version just so I can play the MSX originals.

[storino03]

MGS is on Gamecube under Twin Snakes. Haven't played that one yet.

[SuperDeadite]

I think I am going to pick up the PS3 version just so I can play the MSX originals.

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.
