teh "what did you buy today"-thread

[munchiaz]

If you have access to AES or MVS I'd certainly play one of those. I like the Dreamcast controller better for fighters or I otherwise would have imported it on PS2 which is a better console version. It seems to be about the same as the US release but it is worth noting that I was sent the first pressing of the game. I don't know if the "the best" budget release fixed the issues. Maybe Redump will have information on if those discs are different.

I think you are the first person i've heard prefer the DC controller over....well anything

I wouldn't be surprised, I know lots of people hate it but I really don't mind it at all. The only really absurd thing about it is the fact that the cord comes out the bottom so you have to put it in that stupid nook. Otherwise it fits rather nicely in my hands and is solid and functional.

Anyway from my experience the Dualshock 2 dpad is blargh hence my preference with fighters. It's a very good controller otherwise though.

my only problem with the DC controller is the D-Pad.
why the hell did they make it asymmetrical?

I don't hate the DC controller either.  The one I really hate is the N64, yet I still really enjoy that system too sooooooo

Speaking of Dreamcast, I just got my toes wet with this set 20min ago. Late night game pickups.





System came with a VGA converter (?) and a NIB or at least LNIB second controller. Been waiting for a bundle to pop up in my area with at least a few games, hopped on this one.

I have a confession to make.
I do like some of the Dreamcast games.  But I really hate the console. 

I can't be the only one bothered by the incessant and loud noise of the laser drive, can I?
God damn...it sounds like the system is trying to SAW itself in half when it's in the middle of loading some games!

Got a couple of nice lots in this weekend. Was able to knock out some good PC-Engine titles and score a Cotton and a Splatterhouse 3 for the Genny. The rest is gonna be for trade or sale.

The Duo Lot:


And a nice Neo Geo lot along with another Turbo and PC-Engine lot

[VenomMacbeth]

Picking up Contra and Double Dragon III for Famicom. Figured I'd give them a go.

You bastard, I've been after Contra for eons now.  How much did it set you back?

Contra for Famicom ran me 43 bucks. I'm grabbing Goonies, Karnov, Rockman 4, and TMNT also(the arcade one with the fixed sprites, Arcade Game on Nes here has messed up sprites).

That's part of what makes a Dreamcast a Dreamcast. And I love it.

Nice, just about no bad games there. Quite a few essentials really.

And there are some games (Redline Racer comes to mind) where it's extra bad.

Holy smokes at those Turbo grabs. I would probably pee myself seeing a lot like that in person. Lots of games there that I don't have (and want) but can't afford right now. XD

It can't be louder than the TG16 CD can it? My TG CD sounds like its about to transform into Megatron or something! [emoji54]
