teh "what did you buy today"-thread

Oh man, I'm unfortunately not too into comics anymore which always saddens whenever I drive by my comic store (and it's on my way to work).

But Saga is pretty much the only series I'm reading at the moment. Oh and I started Swamp thing (which I love) and Transmetropolitan (which I also love).

But only my friend and I read Saga. Weird

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

It splits the video/audio and the 2nd Player controls which means you can play one PCB on two cabs as first & second player.

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

No thats the arcade version of Bonk.

But I built an adapter which allows me to connect any console that outputs RGB to the cab - and the consoles can also be played with the VS. loom on two cabs

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

How is it compared to past work by Howard Chaykin? Did you ever read American Flagg!?

[rtyper]

Probably closer to Chaykins other tits'n'clits Black Kiss series i would have thought.
(which was banned in the UK, by the way)
Never rated him in his earlier 'Monarch Moonstalker' and  'Star Wars' stuff, but it looks like he's
found his niche market.
Quite liked his American Flagg series (first comics) and the 2 GN spinoffs, soft porn really.

Garage sale finds for $2. Ohh no!  Its a sealed nes cleaner. Maybe I can get 10K for it lol.

Okay I just got back and am hitting th pool..I went back to that guys barn to try and find the SNES, donkey kong game and any NES stuff that simply HAD to be there and after 3 hours of looking sweating like a dog and remembering summer in Texas is HOT I went back to the old guy and asked if he was sure he had other old games...


He thinking it over then says.  I guess the guy from yesterday must have bought it all ...I had it all just sitting on the table....



I thanked him and left..once I got to a gas stations nd had a slushy I cooled down...


Then thought Fuuuuuuuuu.....kkkkkkkkkk!!!.........


I spent how long looking....I must have litterly bought the scraps the over guy left as what I found was shoved in a box full of VHS.

[Flare65]

Been a while since I posted in here.  Below is some new stuff I picked up.



More PSP...









Always one one of these briefcase setups complete in box and this is the nicest one I have ever come across.  Paid a lot for it though...

[Medic_wheat]

Nice...

I plan on getting me a white cd unit like yours...so long as it has the bride case...don't need a box...

Yeah, the most retro gaming stuff that I've ever found at garage/yard sales has been basically a NES light gun at one sale, a NES controller at a different sale, 2-4 random cheapie NES games at a different sale, and a power cord-less Retro Twin (clone system that plays NES & SNES games) with Aerobiz and 1 SNES controller at another different sale.  I have looked at hundreds and hundreds of these sales and this is all that I have found in the last 4 years.    They just aren't out 'in the wild' much anymore.  (Oh, I just remembered that I've seen a very few random common Atari games out there occasionally too, but since I don't have, care for, or keep up with Atari stuff, I usually just pass over them.)  Oddly enough, when my wife was out at a subdivision garage sale yesterday, she came across a place that had a large box of NES games for $0.50 each, and the owner said that she had a lot more (1000+ assorted video games) in the basement, so I may try to connect with her sometime this week and see what she has.

Super Bonk 2 on SFC is pretty freakin' good! Nice boxed copy. Mine is loose but doesn't see too much love since the game is so long. It could have really used a password feature or something. Otherwise the game is nice and colorful and it's full of that Bonk charm.

I always seem to be a little to late...but I did find my first TG-16 and mor ethen half my games 3 years ago when I first moved to this city.....so there is that lol....

I hope you find some gems in that basement.  I'll be super jealous now just to help lol

Interesting.

"Even though the game isn't terribly long, there's a password system to track your progress."

I have a boxed repro of the game and thought I remembered there being an added password feature, so I looked it up for you, Mister. :3

[Mathius]

HA HA! Seems I'm an idiot. I honestly can't remember there being a password screen.

[HailingTheThings]

It's okay, we all make mistakes and such. :3
