teh "what did you buy today"-thread

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.

its all about new jack city!!!

Dune is quality. Did you ever play the game? It was a c&c style game, i had it on the amiga a500+. loved it and completed it with all three fractions.

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.

What 360 games are those?

[dingsbums]

The one on top is Akai Katana Shin & the one underneath is Bullet Soul.

The Time Warner Saturn game... forget what it is called... starts with a T I think (Tamarou or some such?).  That's not cheap.

Please send it to me for free.

Famicom games have so much nicer box art than their NES counterparts.

Ding: did you buy that Taromaru from enix??

[Tatsujin]

Lol, some nice "as well as expensive" hauls you've got there dingens

[dingsbums]

@ Joe
It's called Shinrei Jusatsushi Taromaru & yeah right  .

@ dan
That's why I collect FC instead of NES games.

@ opethian
No, I bought it from a German collector who decided to dissolve his Saturn collection  .

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





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?




Arcade pad, Snes gameboy converter and game genie






6 Jap horse racing Snes games. I like the artwork on some of these, never played any of them though...







And last but certainly not least... my Sufami Turbo with 2 games. Love it.

That Video Game Super 8 Bit looks to be for the Famicom.

What is a SUFAMI TURBO?

[Sleepy Gnome]

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.

How much did you get it for?  I have it on CD-R.  It's not a horrible game by any means.

[Tatsujin]

It's not a horrible game by any means.

hehe, yeah that's right
