The Sega Sports Pad is pretty cool, but I don't think it would work well with golf games since they all use the TAP-TAP-TAP style of swinging to my knowledge.  It works great with ASStro Warrior and games like that.  I even used it to play Sagaia and Sonic 1 on the Genesis.  I got surprisingly far in both games!  Now I want to try Marble Madness on either Genesis, SMS or both.

I bought 2 2-button PCE controllers, one pd-6 and one pd-8 for $10 apiece. I know they were expensive, but when you see them in person its a bit different than online. Hell I would probably impulse-buy Keith Courage if I saw it in person.

Pardon my ignorance, but what are the meanings of pc-6 and pc-8?

[blueraven]

Sorry pd-6 and pd-8. A blue & black controller, and a orange & grey controller. will correct the previous post. Both Coregrafx controllers.

Oooooh, they're part numbers; I should've guessed that.  :oops:

That's not that bad of price, considering you got 'em local and didn't have to pay shipping.

That's exactly what I did last month. Saw a copy of Keith Courage(the only Turbo game in the store) under glass, complete and looked like it had never been used. Went for $4. Now Keith Courage is doing what Keith Courage does best...looking pretty on my shelf

Great score Mathius! I too feel the obligation even if it's a loosey Salamander. I'd rather return them to the fray then let them sit under glass.

Today down at McVan's Video Games in Indianapolis I scored a sealed copy of Shape Shifter for $35. They also had a sealed Prince of Persia for the same price but can't afford it this week. So, with the Twin Famicom and Shape Shifter it's been a very good week

which mcvans? i have been to the one in fishers when it was there and in broad ripple which is the store's current location. im not sure how i feel about them really since ive had some annoying experiences there, but they are pretty much the only place i know of that sells older games.

  Wow, small world. I found these at the current Broad Ripple location. Their prices are a little high but they have a good selection.

Manage to score a loose copy of Frankenstein's Monster for the Atari 2600 off of Ebay which was great seeing as i have been looking for a copy.
