I also see a famicom twin. Was that a new pick up as well?

Taken August 13,2013.....I just like taking pics of my new pickups along with their respective systems


The Famicom Jump game commemorates the then 20th Anniversary of Jump magazine

Some great
Pick ups at the half priced book store in Corous Christi TX......


yeah I drove two hourse just to go shopping lol.   I live in a VERY small town

[Medic_wheat]

While out of town for the day I pick up some comics. We have a little Saga some no where men (didn't realize the first issue was a fith printing blah. ...it will now be my reader copy) and a mess of blind bag toys..all to do with the Neon Genesis Evongelion reboot movies.

[Medic_wheat]

Is anyone here reading this series?  It is honestly one of my favorit and not just for all the time on every cover

[Medic_wheat]

I must have bad luck out of the four three where the same character lol

Lastly I stopped by a retro game store called "Play Again"

I had hoped to pick up a copy of Truxton genesis CIB for around $45 that they had.  Well that was the problem they HAD a copy...sigh.  But they also just got in a stash of TB-16 games and a few CD games....

I was tempted to pick up military madness and a few more but then I saw a Working Designs game and I am a sucker for anything working designs....so that became my splurge item.....

I also picked up a little Genesis love.  For having never been a Sega guy growing up...since it was one system if that and I was a Nindendo guy growing up I am pleased to find not only gems in the sega library but down right criminals over looked games....

I was very tempted to pick up general chaos but I had to pull back the reigns on my spending lol..



The game looks complete but I couldn't tell if it was suppose to have two disk or not and neither could the guy at the shop...we looked on google and it seems it is just missing a foldout map but still not sure so instead of the $80 he knocked off $20 incase it was missing a disk. I felt it was a price not to walk away from like I did with Truxton last month I was there.

I do not believe any US Turbo CD game had two CDs. I love WD too and usually can't resist when I am out game hunting. A particular game caught my eye last week, which I couldn't say no to for a few reasons. I'll post what I mean soon.

Not received but selfmade  - a VS. loom.


What can you do with a damn cable ?   

[Medic_wheat]

^^^so does it split the signal or allow you to play the game separately on your arcade units?


Also do you have a TB-16 system wired into a arcade cab or?

[Joe Redifer]

Those li'l mini white arcade cabs are so weird. It seems like everyone has them.

It just started the next 6 issue run.  They do 6 issues take a break then come back, currently at issue 19 with what looks like a 9-10 month time jump from where it left off at issue 18.

It came out last week, but don't worry ..... I have yet to bump into antoher person at any comic shop reading Saga...

if it's not The Walking Dead or Spider-Man all the "new" comic readers seem to ignore it...no matter how well written......

unless there is talk of said comic getting a tv show or movie deal then the price skyrockets..

I have quickly found that Image comics has the most diverse range of comics currently available, while DC simply wont' stray away from the tried and true IP's that have has for ever (but I will give propbs for the Blue and Gold, and animal man series)..Marvel at LEST will publish French comic every now and again like "sky angles"..

Idea, Vertigo (which is owned by either marvel or dc I forget) is still trying to be indie while Boom comics is doing well with lovecraftean stuff and general horror comics....
