teh "what did you buy today"-thread

MGS is awful.  One of the worst gaming experiences of the PSX generation IMO.  Stealth just drives me nuts, I just want to bust peoples faces at my leisure.  Cinema after cinema just further slows the already sleep inducing pace.

[SuperDeadite]

I really like Metal Gear 2 on MSX.  Worth the hefty price it costs these days.  And ironically it makes MGS look really half-assed as Kojima reused a lot of ideas for MGS.  Like 80% of Metal Gear 2 is recycled for MGS, which would be ok if it was full on remake, but it's not it's a sequel with a different story, makes Snake look a real moron too as a lot of plot twists are 100% the same in both games.

coming soon...Dr Paolo! but for now this will do

Such a coincidence Opethian! My copy came today as well!

Both of you need to hook that shit up to a proper LA Synth module.  CM-64 preferred.

Its running on the SC-55... while not the LA module, still sounds great IMO.  The CM-64 hasnt arrived yet

[SuperDeadite]

In that game LA >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> GS mode.  One of the best LA soundtracks on the system. 
Oh also that game has an undocumented GM mode as well.  On the MIDI screen hold XF1 and push G to select it.
Then you can use any General MIDI compatible synth like Yamaha, Korg, etc.  Your SC-55 is GM compatible,
it will sound very similar though.

Virtual Cameraman, very nice Ope!

...however, I will say I am a bit dismayed by you beating me to Dr. Paolo.  I'll just assume it is because you are a bigger pervert than me.  It will be mine one day!

All that X68000 looks pretty damn cool.  Confusing, but cool.

I need to figure out how to buy stuff in Japan.  Seems like it would make A.) my life easier and B.) my life cheaper.

a) easier after you spend forever figuring out how to shop for japanese goods b) you'll be more broke after you scoop up too many good deals and the shipping charges hit ya

If you can ship by SAL it ain't too bad. Just under 2 kg only costs about $20. That's a lot of games!
