teh "what did you buy today"-thread

Finally managed to get a complete copy of Cameltry.  Besides being an amazing port of the arcade game with some extra features, every copy included an unusual contraption which turns the mouse into an analog spinner.  Simple but works very well for this game, as well as other analog 2 axis games like Arkanoid 2 and Metal Orange EX.

It appears that the silver knob on top rotates (spins) the white circular platform below the mouse...so, if you have a rubber ball mouse, it will register the movement. Correct?

Pretty interesting.

That is pretty darn clever!

I have never seen or heard of either of these PS1 games, so for $5 each, I grabbed them.



Also picked up Lords of Thunder and Bravoman on the bays.

Spider is a weird but fun game.  I played it back in HS and picked up a copy about a year ago, but all I really remember is that you can equip your spider with bombs and other weird stuff while platforming.  Oh, and other spiders explode into flames.

I always thought that "Cameltry" was perhaps one of the most stupid names for a game. I was gonna put it in the X68000 episode until I found out that it's on the Super Nintendo as On the Ball or something like that. Great game despite the dumb name.

I played Cameltry back when I first bought the Taito Legends collection for PS2. The game almost looked like its arcade board had SNES Mode 7 tech as part of its architecture.

Nice, D&D Heroes and Jade Empire... two of my favorite Xbox games!

I had so much fun with Jade Empire. It looked great and the combat system was fun.

Awesome!  I picked up the Zelda Wii U also.  Be sure to pick up Super Mario 3D World... it really is quite excellent!

Yeah its a great game. I owned it years ago, so when I saw it for cheap I couldn't resist.

Congrats on the Wii U! You should look into picking up Lego City Undercover, it was seriously one of the best games I played last year.
