teh "what did you buy today"-thread

I guess I'll throw this one up as well, it's a homebrew from a fellow on Nintendo Age.


2013-10-31 Fix it Felix Jr. Sega Genesis by xelement5x, on Flickr

I gave it a play last night and it's pretty fun!  It seems like they did a pretty good translation of what the game appeared to be like in Wreck It Ralph.

I thought that looked kind of cool.  I've yet to find a copy, though...

But I did get this stuff.



I've got to say, Quake takes the center stage here.  Probably the best early FPS I've played on a console, surpassing even Duke Nukem 3D IMO.  Very dark and moody, too.

It's a shame...this copy of Sega Rally Championship won't load past the Forest level.  I'll probably try to find a cheap loosie to replace it.

I really enjoy Quake on the Saturn. It kind of makes me motion sick at times though.

I've always thought that philosoma looked and played like ass, especially when it came out.

But that might be also due to my neverending love for hand drawn 2D stuff during all the bit ages, and that i was enjoying my PCE still a 10x times more than anything on the PS1 that came out at that time. especially crappy new-style render shooters.

While it will never hold a candle to the majority of lovely 2D goodness of the 8 and 16-Bit era, Philosoma has its charms. I gave my original copy to a friend long ago when he first upgraded to the PS1, but was able to score a minty copy here locally on the cheap a few years ago. The reunion was sweet.

I see you're point there. I think I got the most bored out by the infinite repetitive back grounds, that resembled much more to a vanguard on the 2600 than anything good from the 16 bit era. the FMV stuff was legendary tho, but that was never the real stuff that could impress me much

Miracle of Almana is an underrated game.

Thanks to Dan, I now have a copy of Legend of Heroes III - Song of the Ocean, completing my set of four.  He also sent me a copy of Knights of Xentar, so I'm looking forward to boobehs in english.

Got Guided Fate Paradox Limited Edition in the mail today from NIS-America. Glad they are using better quality boxes (like a shoe box; lid and bottom half) instead of the thin cardboard.

I also got this and originally wasn't going to post a pic, but since you didn't I felt obligated to.  It's a really nice package, thank you NISA!

I had bought all this over the course of a couple months from Japan and it finally came in yesterday.  Yay!

Hymmnos Soundtracks for Ar Tonelico I, II, and III.  Both red and blue sides, and all are complete with obi.
I love the AT Sountracks so I grabbed these when I found a good deal on the whole set.

2013-11-06 Japan Pickups - Road Blaster (Prosecutor) LaserActive by xelement5x, on Flickr


The LaserActive games were the majority of the cost here, but the prices were all very good compared to what they normally go for on ebay and other places.  I am especially happy about finally getting a copy of Road Blaster, since the last US copy that was up on ebay ended at around $500 and I paid nowhere near that for my JP copy. 

I haven't had time to test through or play anything yet, hopefully I will get some time this weekend, Zappingu is even brand new and sealed!

I actually just realized these are all Mega-LDs too, no NEC love.  Maybe next time

[Opethian]

damn I need road blaster and zapping someday!
nice hauly!

[VenomMacbeth]

No picture, but I got a set of Atari 2600 paddles courtesy of Galam.  I am now discovering that Tac-Scan is probably the best 2600 game I've yet played.

Rob showed me this running on a SNES everdrive card. I was really impressed with the quality of it.
