teh "what did you buy today"-thread

[Mathius]

Is there a Turbochip inside that Tonma box? That is one of the last US releases I want, though I doubt that will ever happen. Like always I am going to wait for a good deal to come my way.

Kyokyoku Tiger, like Tatsujin, has a soundtrack that is leagues better than its arcade parent. So, in essence, come for the shootie action, stay for the tunes.

My Tonma is complete in the box. I got that one from nectarsis. You got some great games too! Chase HQ is one of my favorite car games on the turbo, I think you will like that one.

I loved Chase HQ in the arcade and this is a great port. I was ready to throw my controller at the tv last time I played it though. I hate how quickly the game can throw your car into a ditch.

[bob]

Is sonic advance 3 for GBA worth mentioning?
Got it today and have never played it.

How well don they play/look?

Not too bad, all things considered. I'm definitely having a good time with Judgement...side scrolling beat 'em ups are always fun

not so, ever play GG Isuka?
that crap sucked.

[whisper2053]

Isuka's a fighter, not a beat 'em up. And yes, I have the GGI cart for my Atomiswave and know what you mean. Though it does get stick time (like all of my games), it is probably the least played out of the various arcade titles I have. Judgement is more of a Final Fight/SoR style game, but with the GG fighting engine buried in there so that the moves and combos systems are still intact. Plus, as a bonus, it has the full copy of Guilty Gear X2 Reload on the UMD as well. Score!

perhaps i should have specified - boost mode in isuka:

perhaps i should have specified - boost mode in isuka:

Ok, yeah...Judgement plays kind of like that. Hmm. I don't recall seeing a mode like that on the arcade cart. Going back now to check it out.

Edit: Nope, no Boost mode that I can see on the original Atomiswave cart. Shame too...it looks like something I'd actually enjoy.

[NightWolve]

I always misread game titles too.  Being a beaner, I always saw/read "Salsa Frontier."   

Nice! I have this, wasn't easy to beat, that's for sure.

man saga frontier was the bane of a few PS1 controllers in my house.   What a frustratingly awesome game.

Yeah, frustration rings a bell. It's an interesting game I remember, beautifully pre-rendered backgrounds at parts, but I didn't enjoy it all that much. I recall that I cheated with a GameShark and maxed out all my characters cause I just wanted to breeze through it for the story, but the game dynamically adjusts the difficulty of the bosses in relation to your experience level I guess, so every boss I ever fought wound up having like 99,999 Max HP and what not which resulted in boss battles lasting like ~40 minutes or so!!! Hah!

yeah, probably only in the PS2 port, i've never messed with the atomiswave at all.
