teh "what did you buy today"-thread

[Flare65]

she's a fine beauty, Flare.  I'm a proud owner myself on one  

yours is gem minty indeed...  did you get a good deal?  these dont came cheap completely boxed and minty like that.. I think I paid $250 ish for my complete and boxedwith all inserts but non sexy minty box like yours  

That's about what I paid for it.  I met the owner in person and paid cash.  Last time it was turned on was over 15 years ago, until last night!

wow that's a totally sweet shuttle!

Yah, something that old in such great shape, pretty sweet!

I never understood what was the reason NEC released this version of the platform? It's got the exact same features as a Coregraphx....hucard only, single controller port, 2 button controllers....I mean it's cool looking and all, but what's the diff?

It was just an attempt to get the kiddies to want one.  A marketing ploy and nothing more.

No CD support on the Shuttle which is a shame, but other than that a cool looking system. I agree that it was designed to lure younger gamers in.

I think when you're not using it to play PCE games you're supposed to pick it up, pretend it's flying and make "whoosh" noises with your mouth as it shoots down action figures (or in Japan's case, cute anime figurines).

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.



And a pile o disks:




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) 



Boxed N64 controllers (I love boxed hardware...)



N64 Games - all near mint basically.  Did this guy even play this stuff??



SNES Games - man do I love Donkey Kong Country... its awesome to get a set of all three!  I think this guy really liked Mortal Kombat lol.



A few NES games and some accessories...  Someone cut out that square in the shield on the Zelda box lol.
