 Got a JVC Xeye in today, along with a few games.  The thing looks brand new and plays perfectly.  The JVC controller that came with it has issues tho.  Couple of the buttons don't respond right away, unless you really press on em hard.  I would thing this would be a simple fix though.

aquired in a trade for the metal super mario tray I posted a page back or so...



Have fun with Dark Castle, probably the worst game I've ever played. If you think the genesis version is bad try the CDi one after that..... It IS good for a laugh though. The Apple version is supposed to be the definitive version and has a cult following of sorts.


Haha. Yeah i figured, The box makes it look like a poor mans Castlevania. I looked it up on gamefaqs, and it has a 1.2 rating. I think that's the lowest I've seen.

Let me know how far you get.  Also, check out Angry Video Game Nerd's review of it.  Lol.  Dark Castle is one of those games I bought as  a kid, by judging the cover.....man was I pissed.

Not video game related, but at least its from the right time period...

Finally got rid of the old boat BMW that was falling apart...

Not my first choice being a 'vert, but it was in good shape and is a whole lot easier to work on!

Here is most of my stuff over the last few months minus some Intellivsion stuff and GOG stuff.  Most of this has come in the last week and a half so I haven't really sampled it all.

Most of this was black friday besides XCOM and Halo.



This is from Ope, vestcoat, ebay, and some homebrews.  The remote I already own not sure how it snuck in there.



I am staying out of for sale threads and off ebay until late January.  There is only one game I want in Jan for PS3 (Ni No Kuni: Wraith of the White Witch) so hopefully I will be OK.  I will post the Inty stuff when I gather it up.
Gypsies did it.

 Got no luv for the krackers only slugs for the krackers!

Clean the contacts on the PCB with a white eraser (or a swab moistened with rubbing alcohol.) wipe the conductive rubber pads with a cotton swab moistened with rubbing alcohol.  Controller should work like new.

Is that wire sticking out of the console a pull for the ejection seat or some sort of cup holder (looks sturdy)?

Cup holder, which is non existent in all old bmws.  Thats actually one of the best cup holder solutions Ive seen in these old cars.

OK here's what I have acquired in the last 2 weeks:



-Wii U (not pictured) but it came with that Nintendo Land game. - $349.95 (screw you suckers who paid $349.99!)

-Need for Speed Most Wanted: A Criterion Game (yes that's the actual title). - PS3 - $59.95. Great game. Not as cool as Burnout Paradise but still really, really good. Some things have improved upon Burnout Paradise's foundation, though.

-Little Big Planet Karting. -  PS3 - $19.95 at Best Buy (after $5 off coupon).  Worth it?  Yeah I dunno. Not horrible by any means but not amazing in any way. Haven't tried and user-created tracks or online yet.

-Sonic Generations - Xbox360 - $18.95 at Target. I waited for the price to drop on this and I'm glad I did. The main stages are really fun, but there's quite a delay between pressing the jump button and actually jumping. I don't like that I have to earn the boss fights by going back to each stage a few times and doing stupid shit like having Knuckles dig for treasure. Sonic still hasn't returned to his former glory. They just can't get a Sonic game right and keep trying to include all of this other extra shit that just gets in the way instead of adding to the fun. What's wrong with you, Sega?

-New Super Mario Bros U - Wii U - $59.95 - Target. It's weird paying $60 for the same exact game that's on the Wii. Is there any difference? I haven't noticed any yet. This is about as different as Madden 94 is from Madden 93.

- Sonic & All Stars Racing Transformed (yes, that's the actual title) - Wii U - $20 - Target. I originally bought the Wii U with 3 games, This, Mario U, and Batman Arkham City U. They were having a "buy two, get the 3rd for half price" thing, so this was $20.  Before I even got out of the store, I decided I didn't want Batman, so I returned it at Guest Services. They refunded the full $59.95 and I still kept this game for $20. It's about what it's worth. Sonic is featured more prominently and they dropped Sega from the title which was dumb as now the title doesn't make any sense. The game is nowhere near as good as the first one. The flying and boating are cool, but overall the game just isn't as fun and the tracks are not as well designed. It's hard to drift long enough to get a boost now and the difficulty is really ramped up as well. The selection of characters is also pretty lame. I have no idea how to unlock more despite me playing this far more than any other Wii U game. A serious downgrade from the first game. Despite being fun, it's still rather disappointing. This is the BONUS EDITION as you can tell by looking at the box. This means there are extra bugs and glitches that aren't in the 360 or PS3 versions.

-Wii U Xbox 360 controller - Wii U - Forgot the price, but fiance bought it for me. This works for only one game that I have. Why did I get this? It will never be supported in the majority of good games. I am an idiot. What's weird is that when I'm pressing the buttons with my right thumb, I instinctively want to movie it DOWN to touch the right analog stick, not up where it actually needs to go.

-The Dark Knight Rises - Blu-ray - Batman makes a couple of cameos in this movie.

-SD2SNES - SNES - $180 - This allows me to do suspicious, questionable and highly illegal things on my Super Nintendo. This can ONLY be used for illegal things. I made my own cart shell and label.

Hey Joe, you should give the Challenge Mode a shot on Mario U.  I am having a lot of fun (AND FRUSTRATION!) going for the gold medals.

I have played some multiplayer NBA 2k13 and the Wii U Pro Controller is required.  Also it is needed to do multiplayer COD, where one player looks at the screen and the other gets the TV.  I think you will end up happy you have one.  I am actually hoping that Toys R Us gets 2 in before their buy one get one 50% off sale on accessories is over.  Once I have 3, I will be all set for video game nights.

Seems like you are really down on the Wii U.
