As in last PSP UMD type games?

Right.  There's Class of Heroes 2 still to come out and that might be it.


That looks really neat too. Man if anything, I would just love to have some art books for a big chunk of the PSP library.

Galam,

Nice dude, inside pics possible? what are they?

I wasn't quite sure what to expect when I ordered them.  They seem to be tounge-in-cheek breakdowns of the NES Zelda and Castlevania games.
Very well done.  I am a sucker for video game related books and read as many as I can find.  They are about 80 pages each.
Here are a few snippets...

I haven't built a mech model kit in years so I picked up one from the series I'm watching. I didn't get any paints or anything yet and this one has a nice coating on the exterior pieces anyways so I'm not sure how much detailing I need to do or should do but yeah just wanted to build one for fun and not get too involved in it.

love the box art.  Hope this looks cool. i might have to pick one up too.  Such a fun series.
NW: Hey, I made it on this psycho's Enemies' List, how about that ?? ;)

BT: Look at how the fake SFII' carts instantly sold out and were immediately listed on eBay before the flippers even took possession. Look at Nintendo's overpriced bricks. Look at the typical forum discussions elsewhere.

You can't tell most retro gamers anything!

It has been a few days and I have let some stuff build up, so here's the lot of what has arrived to date:



Special thanks to TurboCro for these! Super awesome man, thanks a million.

Next, fresh in from Windy, some pce goodness!



Gotta love the Obey... :D

One of the items that just arrived today...



Thanks to MJ1984 over on ng.com for that one. Now I am just waiting on my RGB patch cable to get here and some 32x is ON lol.

Next...



These things are damn near mint...now I just need to scrounge up some inserts.

Next up, fresh from Amazon, possibly the most awesome VGA>HDMI transcoder that I have run across so far...



If you don't believe me, check out my recent YT vids...VGA stuff looks fantastic in HD with this thing!

And lastly, but CERTAINLY not least...my Neo flag from rcantor77 arrived today finally!



It looks absolutely amazing! Only sucky thing was despite rcantor getting it out crazy fast, the MILPO took forevvvvvver to get it here (about 1.5 months...). Stupid military lol...

I didn't find it.  These are fantastic looking books though.  Cheap price as well.  :)
I'm busy playing pinball, but I still drop by to visit.

If you are referring to my books, yeah, the hardcovers were a little overpriced.
I started the castlevania one last night and its a pretty good read.

Reflective PT belt. It keeps me safe when I go outside (or so the Army keeps trying to convince me...) :D
