teh "what did you buy today"-thread

Got in a box/manual set for the Faceball VB cart, and also picked up Space Pinball for VB.

All three VB games together!

Can you dig up a boxed copy of Jack Bros (US) and maybe a Virtual Lab (JP) while you're on a roll?

Fraid not

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.

Roy, you dirty dog! Not Ebay... I'm never gonna get my hands on that dang Adventure Island manual...!

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.

Thrift store and online purchases for the week.  Crossed another working designs title off my list.



Jeff since you're the only dude I know who's both a Sega fanboy and a Bronie you have first dibs for trade

Some clopping material there for sure.  Any Bronies in the house?

New stuff. Got the Animal crossing poster from gamestop. Last night i was watching the movie "Dinner for Schmucks" and it got me thinking about the book "Redwall". I haven't read it since i was in 6th grade so i picked up another copy to read again.

I'm going way out on a limb here, but I'm guessing that Arc the Lad WASN'T a thrift store find.
Is everything in there?

Yes it's a repro,but i gave up trying to get a original copy of mr.gimmick.Every time i find the japanese version it was to expensive so this is the next best thing.Also it plays fine on a famicom by using a adapter  

[Tatsujin]

[EvilEvoIX]

How much is that Gimmik game?  I want one badly.

loose carts are usually in the 10,000yen range.  cibbler is le 30,000 from the usual suspects.
