teh "what did you buy today"-thread

[bartre]

Nice!  I just started playing PE again on my PS TV.  Game takes me back, though my wife used to complain I played with Aya more than I played with her!

Ha! I love PE. The music really nails that cyberpunk 90s vibe. Though I wish I could skip the cutscenes I've already watched.

f*ck you.

Parasite eve is damned near perfect.

This thread inspired me to BIN Parasite Eve. Looking forward to playing it after i finish Vay.

disregard VAY, play Parasite Eve

[MrBroadway]

Disregard PE, play PCE.

TED 2 up in this bitch!  Now I gotta find a sd card to stuff in it.

I just ordered a Framemeister XRGB with the DT cable. Just 5min ago'ish.

I did the express shipping so 2-5days, I hope it's here during that time frame.

Now that I have this thing on the way I may look into recapping all my old consoles and RGB modding them as well. But my Duo was the first, you hear me!! My Duo is first!

Btw, 40,490 Yen is about $329.55 US FYI.

I got the Mother 1+2 and Mother 3 repros. Been craving for some Earthbound/Mother as of late. Dunno why as I finished Earthbound back in the day on a weekend rental.

[VenomMacbeth]

I feel like I've probably talked about a couple of these already, but they are recent gets so I figured I'd show em off anyway.

Rez & Half-Life are repros.  They don't exactly look official, but they look okay nestled in with my other Dreamcast games.

Rez is an awesome game, but I find when I play it, I fall into a drowsy trance similar to highway hypnosis.  Deceptively difficult, too.

Half-Life is an incredible port.  The frequent load times, unstable frame rate & lack of a quick save option are a bit of a chore, but the fact that the game is running at all (and looks as good as it does) on the Dreamcast is something that endlessly amazes me.  So very glad I have the keyboard & mouse.

I haven't delved much into any of the other games yet, except for Sword of the Berserk.  I enjoyed that one, but holy hell it's got some long cutscenes.  The gameplay can get a bit repetitive, but I find that's par for the course in this genre.  I can dig it.

Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective is the pack-in disc that also comes with the 4-pak of Genesis games.  My stepdad found it while cleaning out the attic; presumably, it came with his old Sega CD (which has since disappeared from the material sphere). 

Oh, and I almost forgot, I upgraded to this guy since I had a late model Dreamcast that wouldn't play CD-Rs:



(No, I don't normally keep my consoles on the floor with the kitty.  I just felt like bothering her today.)

So the slowboat of stuff I bought back in May FINALLY came in so it was fun to dig through it all.  I got three PCE lots out of Japan with some solid titles in them and some random VHS.

PC Engine Slowboat Lot - Part 3 by xelement5x, on Flickr

Standouts:
Splatterhouse

Final Soldier
Bomberman 94


And the last (non-PCE stuff is):


Sega Video Magazine - 1994/12 and LaserActive Promo VHS by xelement5x, on Flickr

I picked these up kind of randomly.  The LaserActive VHS was one I'd be wanting to find for awhile, there is also a LD version of it too.  The Sega Video Magazine was also this weird thing they did back in the day, it lasted from 1993 to 1998 which is kind of neat.  I figured it would be a cool thingy to add to my library.


STEALTH EDIT:  This also just showed up today from our favorite DoxPhile


Nully goods by xelement5x, on Flickr

Radiant Historia for DS (yay!)

Tiger Road and Sinistron TG16 Manuals

And a nullity patented JO-KRYSTAL complete with necklace and rubberband, or maybe that's a cockring, I dunno.

Bought some Sega Game Gear games today.





I think there are around a dozen import and ~90 NA games with no doubles. Basically worked out to like $2 a game plus a working CIB console, 2 duds, soft bag, cool hard carry case, few power packs and a couple other accessories thrown in on top. Guy I bought it off of manages a local game store which usually sponsors a couple game swaps so was a pretty cool deal. Had every game listed out in his Kijiji ad which I wish I copied cause cataloging them is gonna take forever smh
