teh "what did you buy today"-thread

[storino03]

I don't have any old sealed games, unless you count Gamecube/Playstation 2 era as being old, so I don't know what you're talking about.

its called an RAU-30

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.

did it come with game and light gun or was that a different packaging?

It's just the base console, but he tossed in a light gun for $5 as well.  I figure the kids could use it.  I never had one growing up.  I was never a fan of the Zapper.

Hogan's Alley is fun for kids (and you). Simple, classic, solid game, IMHO.

It's been 25 years since I held a Zapper in my hand so maybe I'll give it another chance.  It's already paid for itself, my 3 year old son ran around the house yesterday shooting his 1 year old sister yelling "You're dead!  You're dead!"  Awe... children are so special.  Memories that last a lifetime.

My job here is complete...

The funny part is the stuff came in an old box, "Bob's Turbo Graphics"

I wonder if "Zach" is like the Dell guy, who got busted with drugs after his commercials.... can we find that guy and see what he is up to?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Curtis_%28actor%29

Yes, that is a link to Ben Curtis's Wikipedia page, whom we know has an addiction problem.  However, the young man in question is the guy on the Turbo Grafx box.  I would like to know his name, his whereabouts and what he is wearing. 

Link was posted to give more insight into the Dell guy himself. A lot of people actually don't remember him or have any idea who that clown was, so your brief mentioning of him may hold no meaning for some. Same as if out of no where I made a comparison to the Rallys cha ching guy. A lot of people don't remember him, and most seem to not realize it was Seth Green. 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...

He has seen the vast endless black horrors of deep space. He has fought against the Tyranid invasion, and against Ork, Eldar, and Daemon alike. He, along with fellow space marines Brad and Toast fell on a space hulk in the service of the Emperor of Mankind.

Thats all you need to know.

I wonder if they still have any Turbo swag for being a promotional figure and all.
