Holiday buying fever
« on: December 13, 2005, 08:25:59 AM »
Anyone else get a case of this? I seem to get it for Turbo/PCE stuff every few years. I've got HuCard fever this year pretty bad. I plan on picking up a few oldies I don't have yet.

Anything you guys are foaming at the mouth for this year?

yeah, I already went crazy and bought way too many items on ebay over the last 2 weeks. it was as if I was purposely trying to sabotage myself, because my paycheck has yet to arrive. Not good, especially because 1 or 2 sellers are of the "I will re-list item in 2 days if payment is not received yesterday" variety. :)

Np man yeah i was gonna send my Duo-R to D-lite to modd.

Just i didn't have the time to save some $ up for that :(

So person i know at ng.com that does.. he had "his Duo-R" that was modded by, D-lite.

He needed a, Duo-R that could play burns and i need one that was modded.

Since i have the, SCDR2 for playing burns i figure i trade my Duo-R for his :wink:

anyone here snag that big 35 game lot off ebay yesterday? It went for about $320+ or something. I was gonna' go a little over $200 for it, but it went way past what I thought it would. Some good games in the bunch. Mostly oldies.

Hey guys, it's been a little while since I've been here. Did I miss anything big? :)

There's nothing I'm crazy about right at the moment (winter is the slow season in the tattoo business, so after I bought Dragon Quest VIII, that was pretty much it for my games-buying for the winter), but I definitely get into those 'phases' where I get all psycho over one thing or another.

I was on a Turbo/PCE-buying rampage a couple months ago. Probably increased my collection by a third, and got my CoreGrafx (that was probably when I joined this forum, in fact!).

In the summer, when there's not really any good new game releases for the current-gen systems, that's when I usually get on my old-games buying kick and I add to my classic (pre-NES), 8- and 16-bit collections. This past summer was no different and I got some good stacks of Atari 2600, NES and Genesis games :)

Every once in a while, I'll get the nagging feeling that I need more Neo-Geo games, and I'll hunt around ebay for some cheaper, older AES carts or an MVS game or two that I feel I need to have. Same for JAMMA boards.

Unfortunately, I don't make as much money as I was making a few years ago, so my arcade cabinet collection has remained stagnant for quite some time. I only got one new machine this past spring (Mario Bros.), but there are times when I foam at the mouth for a new 300-lb. game too :)

I often get into crazy phases with my other hobbies too, when I just gotta get a new Godzilla toy, or add some more movies to my DVD or LD libraries. I guess that just comes with being a collector-type person...I wonder if there's an official term for these 'fevers' that we're afflicted by? :)

About the only thing PCE/TG related I'm getting for the holidays is the Seiya Monogatari Mook + demo CD.  I've been looking for it for a little while and managed to snag it for about $15. :)

yeah, i always get this way around the holidays!!

This year I've been watching this ebay listing for Gradius II.  damn I love that series, and the Super CD ver. is the most impressive version of Gradius II.

Just got the first one(Gradius) over the past summer... ONE OF THE BEST SHOOTERS EVER!!!  and on HuCard it is BETTER than arcade perfect.

A MUST HAVE!!  (gotta love caps)

anywho,

yea, thats about it.\


wouldn't it be nice to wake up christmas morning with a New sealed Sapphire under your tree....lol

Merry Christmas all!
