teh "what did you buy today"-thread

[bartre]

Picked up the dead or alive 5 collectors edition today, along with Eat lead - the return of matt hazard.
both pretty good games, though EL has some flaws, and DOA5 has some bad english voices.

other than that, i finally got the parts i needed to customize my madcatz SE fightstick, i'll be putting up some pics soon.
and then i got bomberman 64, mace - the dark age, and resident evil 3, for N64, N64, and DC, for the sake of my collecting.

Not today, but a few days back I got a Linux Kit for the Playstation2 - have no idea what to do with the thing now though.

Make some games with it, duh.

Easier said than done my friend - I still can't find the time to even stuff around with the Famicom Basic!

Got in a Metal Slug 4 MVS cart (bootleg)  and a Soul Edge PCB from LameKat.

Use it to go online and find the pool game. (Is the ps2 linux area still up ?)
They had a lot of user-written code to play with, but the pool game was actually fun

'82 Donkey Kong.  Thank you HardOff

Cool Game & Watch!

[FiftyQuid]

Awesome SuperDeadite.  I used to play Donkey Kong on my G&W all the damn time.  Good memories!

[Hollo]

Nothing quite like a DK!  My first G&W when I was a kid, and still my favourite G&W now. 

[vestcoat]

Wow. I used to have the Zelda G&W. I got it for Christmas '89 because my parents couldn't afford a Game Boy. Sold it at a garage sale a couple years later for $5. I tried searching for another one online recently, but totally forgot the "Game and Watch" moniker and couldn't find it until now. Prices look shitty.

Haha...finally the MS4 is gone.

I have that DK Game and Watch and love it.  I really enjoy DK 2 as well, probably more than the original.  Are those easy to come by in Japan?  I find them RARELY in the wild.

About once a week I pull out a G&W, love those games.  I have Fire loaded up and ready to go at all times.

[SuperDeadite]

Easy to find in the big name shops, but usually not cheap.  Really depends on the game though, the "pop-up" version of Popeye for example goes for about 60,000yen boxed and cibbler these days.... be aware though that rarity varies greatly across regions.  Popeye is stupid rare in Japan, but a lot more common in the rest of the world.  And with some games it's reverse.

Donkey Kong goes for about 5,000 loose in the normal shops.  Been waiting for a cheapy for a long time.
