teh "what did you buy today"-thread

Lol, my memories are always:
Relaxing water noises, Sega logo, and then skritchy-skritchy noises from the Dreamcast as it starts to read my disc.

I vividly remember the sound of 4-8 VMUs beeping when you boot the thing up.

Some recent pick ups. Might update more when I get home as I often forget to do that.

First up two game CD cases from a thrift short. I like that they are official GC and PS1 cases and getting them for a total of $10 was also nice.





These will really help as I have a few GC loose games that just don't look right in most game sleeve as they are tiny CDs.



Sure the SNES verson is IMO better this was for less then $10 so easy buy for me. 



This one simply looks like fun. Let's see. Dat booty!



Thank you fellow member  X element for selling these handbooks!  They just came in and will be in a good home.



He even threw in some free OBEY. Such a sweetie.



Last up what looks to be a fun little PSP title.

agreed, but i do have a certain soft spot for that water droppy, echoey sound that they went with.

Exactly, why would someone want to "fix" the noise is beyond me.

Your Neo Geo library is REALLY stepping up.

I plan on refocusing on my MCS wants middle of the year. 


For the first half of 2015 I plan on finishing my NES want list.  I should be able to comp,ete it as there are only 28 left from my master NES list.  Some in the $10-$30 dollar range. Thank of course a few in the $130-150 range with the most expensive being little Samson. The only good thing is once I get these last few NES games I will be done with my NES collecting. Well minus a few Famicom only games I would like to get such as nuts n'milk for example.

One thing I like about Neo Geo MVS/AES games is he they look n a shelf lined up. Like rows of cocain. 


More so when in a shock bos or those mini cardboard boxes that one guy makes (as they take less space and look very uniformed with those sticker labels.

They have this hefty look to them and most people haven't a clue what they are looking at.

[cr8zykuban0]

exactly I know what you mean. the mvs/aes games look like rows of dollar signs but money well put to use

i have seen the mini mvs boxes and they look awesome but i totally perfer the shockboxes. im on love with them just like im in love with the coco!!!

Scored an really nice NEC XV MultiSync 29A+ presentation monitor today. Took it apart and cleaned it up. Crazy setup, it has rgb, svideo and composite on front and back and a row of dip switches. Huge setup menu controlling all the geometry  Sits nice next to my Sony BVM now. Think this will hold me off from hunting the NEC XM29 for now lol.

Holly smokes that set up!  I can only imagine how much weight you got on that entertainment stand with those two monitors on top.

Ya few hundred pounds. It's a solid wood entertainment stand though, not the typical weak LCD tv kind
