teh "what did you buy today"-thread

[dingsbums]

So a few months ago I bought this set on Yahoo (mainly because it was cheap  ). The package finally arrived here last Saturday (after several weeks at the customs office  ) :



So nothing special right ? - but in one of the cases was this (I scanned the CD):



PS: Needless to say - I'm the happiest person right now  .

What is that?

[PunkicCyborg]

Incredible find! I pray to god you show us more

[Tatsujin]

lol, sure you had that in your package, dingsbums

[SuperDeadite]

LOL, considering that is clearly gaijin-writing, it's APRIL FOOLS!
(for those that can't read it, it says PC Cocoron Sample Disk)

I love the music for Nostalgia 1907 on Mega-CD. Really. Lots of wonderful tracks (instrumental).

Your find is potentially better...but I think the music from Nostalgia 1907 trumps it (here's a taste... http://www.tg-16.com/mp2/Nostalgia_1907/Title_Track.mp3
). Gorgeous.

I thought the text on the CD was written in Hebrew, no?

I wasn't gonna tell him that.  Help fight that silly pirates that will copy that disk on ebay

also - there's a 14" Sony PVM outside of Chicago for sale for $50 right now on Craigslist if anyone's interested.

That's only got composite and S-video though, not worth it IMO.

S-Vid on a PVM looks damn near as good as RGB

True, but for that price you can just as easily find one that has RGB or both RGB and component. I got both of my PVMs (one's an older one with RGB, the other is a little newer with dual RGB/component inputs) for about $35 locally.

Anyway, I picked this up yesterday. I spent a little more than I was willing to pay but it's one of the harder to find Atari 8-bit carts and it's a damn good port of the game too: http://tinyurl.com/bpn4hat

This pvm looks pretty good if anyone is around Detroit

Happy APRIL FOOLS DAY everyone

What is written wrong I just wrote "Sample Disk" in the Google translator and this is the translation .

On a serious note:
Like everyone else around here (?) I would love to have PC Cocoron but I know that will sadly never happen .

@ Tatsujin: Do you know the two owners in Japan of PC Cocoron in person Why they don't want to "share" that game

[SuperDeadite]

The owner Yuki is a cool dude, I've not met him in person (tats has at the bar), but I've done a few email chats with him.  Very helpful as long as you follow the rules.  The only being is that you don't ask for what you can't have.    If he ever decides to share PCC, it won't be because of people pestering him.

And Tats is correct, you wrote "Sanfle", you forgot the modifying marker which changes Fu into Pu.

I have almost the exact same monitor.  Mine is a different model # but it looks exactly like that.  It's pretty small, but has a great picture.  Good for a secondary monitor, but probably too small for someone's primary gaming display.  But if you put it up on a desk at eye-level, it's great.  Mine sits on my desk right next to my computer monitor (which also doubles as my TV.)

For $55, I'd pick it up.

Edit: Just as a warning, the built-in speaker doesn't work with RGB for some reason.  Only composite and s-video.
