Anyone picked up Gunlord for the MVS, AES or Dreamcast? Got the Dreamcast version and its an excellent game. Better than most Dreamcast games.

Nice, can you send me one:)

Picked up a Bally Astrocade and a couple SMS games. Unfortunately the Astrocade has some kind of input issues, so I'll probably just throw it back on eBay once I can find another one.

Nice watches! I don't do watches, and if I do, they are simply sports types with elastic bands and waterproof.

In other news, I preordered Mugen Souls Limited Edition + Figure Set off of NISA's website for $99. Comes out September 18th! Another game for my sealed collection~

All that power under the hood might be too much for you to handle until you master parking straight within the lines.

Haha... I literally JUST drove it off the dealers lot after purchasing and was nervous about getting a door ding on the first day of ownership when I took that photo. Now I just park it far away from the other cars in the lot... and within the lines O:)

And it only has 345hp/350tq (its stock), I've owned much more powerful cars that this one!

Just got back from VGS in Chicago.  Picked up some small stuff.... and some big stuff...  I thought the original idea of the trip was to come back with LESS stuff than I left with... ha! fat chance.  Then I came home to a couple of slow boat boxes of 68000 stuff from japan... yay!

Virtual boy in blockbuster case, with all the pieces and parts + ac adapter thingy + 7 games?   $130



Atari 800XL computer + Printer + tape drive lol  $70



And when I came home, three more x68000s from Japan.  One parts Expert, One Pro, One franken XVI unit lol.  Its an XVI for sure, but the right tower has the wrong shell on it and its missing the LED board.



And lastly, my Roland CM-64 MIDI module finally made it in!  And there was a nice surprise inside the x68000 Pro unit... an XSIMM10 memory expansion board!  Lucky find for sure!

I buy it broken off of Yahoo Japan and have it slow boated here.   Each system is like a lottery ticket... you never know what you'll find inside... you might get a dead beyond repair system, or you might find nice valuable goodies inside like ram boards and hard drives.
