Very probably. Only reason I thought otherwise was the other note regarding the key combination to access the fourth game from the CD set. Thanks for letting me know it was just a hu-card that was thrown in.

Anyone ever play the super rare version of Demon's Judgement with the special disc crackage?  Just got this in the mail today.



...dammit.

I absolutely love Dankss youtube vids. He is so honest and genuine. But that sucks he thought Momotaro game series were all platform. Actually they are RPG. Even the one Momotaro game that is actually a platform game still requires a lot of jpn knowledge.   Who am I to say anything? He is the one with a LaserActive. Lucky bastard.

Do the caps last in this system? how bout the laser?

I sold that guy his first PCE CD unit (Super CD-ROM2) a few years ago. He's only been into PCE for like 3-4 years maybe.

Out of curiosity, is anyone into karaoke? Is it easy to just download discs off the 'net? Then again, it would be sweet to have the set up that you see in Japanese or Korean karaokes/noraebangs.

Clash, ems shipping usually includes insurance...

The disk was mint when I sent it.  Bubble wrapped, newspaper, f*ck man.  Never seen this happen via EMS.  f*cking USA.  I should be able to get the money back though...

Goddamn Clash that sucks, it looks like some postal employee decided to screw around that day. 

At least it wasn't an uber rare game like Time Gal or something though.

Shipping LDs is a problem. When I get stuff from volume sellers they usually have a trick that involves using a relatively 12x12 box that is about 2" thick. The LDs are bubble-wrapped and then taped in such a way that they are suspended in the middle of the thickness of the box. It works pretty good for Recobancou, who have sent me dozens of LDs.

I recently had a guy from Switzerland mail me some rare anime LDs. They were just packed skin tight in cardboard with some of that thin foam/plastic stuff on the outside. I was worried when I saw the package, but amazingly nothing was broken.

There is special packaging for records which is what I'm pretty sure you're talking about.  After I got a new copy of Vajra which was bent I've basically requested every seller since use that thicker boxed packaging when ever I buy stuff like that online.

[SignOfZeta]

Recobanchou has boxes made especially for them, but they are basically pizza boxes, pretty much.

People who still collect LD can be a really picky bunch of mofos. The slightest nick on the sleeve will have them sticking you with negative feedback. It's especially problematic with US LDs side they usually have shitty thin sleeves. The fix for this is to bubble wrap the LD itself and the suspend it with tape in the middle of a box that is too big for it.

[TheClash603]

My game was packed pretty well, it just appeared someone sat on the box or tried to bend it in half for no reason.  Even the best packaging won't stand up to malicious mailmen!

[DragonmasterDan]

I got Space Berzerker in a box large enough to fit the laseractive system. All it had was the game in it, LDs are definitely tricky to ship well.

Recently picked up the floppies that came with the PC1 PAC. Now just to find the actual thing! Lovely ms-dos and pc-dos software. Came with a couple of batch files and a sample folder. Will fire up the old AT to give them a burl. Need to sort out a mac os VM to check out the mac software.

Now that is something I have never seen for sale.  Good luck finding the actual pac. 

Can you post a picture of the LA floppies just so I can give them a look?

[McKie1]

I can e-mail a copy of the photo as don't have upload picture account if you are interested?
