teh "what did you buy today"-thread

[munchiaz]

my recent pick ups. thanks to sharp for the final lap

Wow, your copy of Dragonforce looks totally different than mine.  Mine has a red dragon on the disc and didn't come with a cart.  I wonder what the cart is for.  Very cool.

Working designs did variant art on there games. So there like 4 different CD arts for almost all of there games. The cart is just a Ram cart with the dragon force ram cart sticker on it.

Awesome.  I wasn't aware of that.

PS - I tried stopping the grammar police, but they beat me down and took over my computer. Sorry.

^lol. it's all good. That was a bit rushed. Also my grammar is kind of poor. I write "there" in most situations.

Picked up a Sapphire copy. Looks like the colouring on the cover has improved, note the yellow gradient as opposed to orange.





Looks great, nice to finally be able to play the game on a pressed CD.

[Opethian]

if you just bought one from Tobias check if the CD ring says CARE4DATA I dont think he had this new run pressed its a CD-R from what I understand

[Frank_fjs]

It does have CARE4DATA on both CD's (the one in the full cover/manual version and he also sent a loose disc in case I wanted to keep the other one sealed - which I didn't but it's nice to have a spare disc, I'm going to be giving it to a friend).

I asked before ordering, I didn't want a CD-R.

[Opethian]

ah looks like he still had some left then

[Frank_fjs]

Well he didn't have any left when I first inquired however he recently made a new batch. He did mention that the Sapphire discs were the only ones with a pressed CD, the other games he sells are CD-R (Fantasy Zone, Bomber Man).

Some recent pick ups.
Got an amazing deal on some Mega Drive games!
A seller had a lot of dead stock from an old toy store, and Batman and Golden Axe 3 were completely new and unopened. The other three were some kind of samples given to the store at some point, and the Crying and Chiki Chiki Boys carts have SEGA stickers on them as pictured on the Crying cart. Not sure what this does to their value but I think it's really cool to have these games directly furnished by SEGA! Splatterhouse 3 had the same sticker that's on the cover on the cart. And the best part, all of these games ended up being only $27 shipped!!

Also picked up an unopened Pomping World, Drac X, and Astal.

[Mathius]

Wow!

I picked up a couple toys from animes at a local shop for pretty cheap, but i looked them up on amazon, wow!

I don't figure they're worth quite that, anyone around here more knowledgeable than me on these things, i just thought they were cool, though if they're worth money i probably won't be hanging on to them.

You will be very happy with Dracula X. Just play it.

And remember. It doesn't count as beating the game if you haven't done it with Richter at 100%.

TRUTH.  <---note the capslock.

[Starfighter]

I got these today! I intentionally picked the loose ones, I don't know why but I like them loose. It's like flipping through a pack of hockey cards or something.

Actually I have three copies of Drac X... I'm crazy, I know! And yeah, I agree that using Maria is an easy mode for the game but she's still a blast to play with and one of my favorite aspects of the game.
