I would have bartered them down to $15, at least.

Seems like a day of bargains, I got this SCD off ebay, it was being sold as spares as it was 'faulty'. but when I plugged it in it worked like a dream. Boxed plus an extra of 10 games that wren't listed in the auction all for £47 shipped

Got all this for $60, and in case you are wondering, a lot of it was free:



Mega props if you can make out everything from my blurry ass cellphone pic.

Its actually pretty funny. Just out of nowhere in this thread, you see Tats list some awesome ass stuff he got, and a nice big pic of man on man action. Will certainly wake you up in the morning. 

haha... yeah that would wake you up or sober ya up... fast!!!

ok a pict of some goodies i got in the mail this week me friends....


Very happy about the official saturn light gun and having a soft spot for Ridge Racer, namco's official controller... oh yaaaa!:D
Also check out the closeup on that SMS controller... i never knew they made one of these versions... very cool and was freebe the guy throw in

[Joe Redifer]

Yeah, I love those Sega controllers.  The joystick unscrews out and is replaced by a little rubber button thingy.

How, exactly, does the Ne-G-con controller work?  I can't imagine that twisting it one way or the other is a very intuitive way to steer.  With Ridge Racer, you'll be bouncing off of the walls no matter what.

I believe the twist controls gas and brake.

[Duo_R]

how much was the Saturn Gun Sparks?

[Sparky]

Joe Redifer & Bust3dstr8 ---> one side of the twist controls works the gas and brake the other side the steering from my understanding, but when i get a chance to try it I will let you guys know what i tink....it is so freak'n different it was a must have!!

Duo_R---> well i got all the stuff as a lot for $60 (can) and that was with shipping   so probably $10ish

Ikari Warriors for the MSX2.

Another PS2 anthology! (Featuring Totally Awesome '80s Tunes!)



EDIT: One of the main reasons I got it was to be able to play Atari games in component without some crazy mod (if that's even possible). Lulz.

I saw this system at "Game Crazy" about a year ago and thought it was just a generic NES but I recently discovered some things about it that convinced me to purchase one: It plays both American (NES) and Japanese (Famicom) Nintendo cartridges. It has composite RCA cables rather than RF. Wireless controllers are available for it. The instruction manual was designed to look like a NES cartridge and even has a dust jacket! The back of the manual has the Digital Press rarity guide with complete list of NES and Famicom games.

Those Gen Nex clones are pretty sexy, especially with the wireless controllers (too bad they don't make 'em for the Turbo).  There's always a catch though, and with these it's that they don't work with Castlevania III or Guantlet (among others that nobody cares about).

[guyjin]

Actually, I found the wireless NEX controllers somewhat hard to use. it's fine for things like platformers where you're pressing one direction most of the time, but for games where you tap the D-pad a lot (puzzle games, shmups) it doesn't seem to respond immediately. I much prefer the wired one that comes with it; it's very handy for games like Metroid or Zelda where you push select and start a lot.
