teh "what did you buy today"-thread

[Nando]

Not too shabby, Roy.  Did you have to hit on the two young girls to creep 'em out, making them want to get rid of you as quickly as possible and not take the time to search ebay for pricing? 

Brilliant strategy!

Sms fm mod arrived! No time to install until Wed., though :-/

I wish I had one of these re-sealer thingy's.  I'd be rewrapping all sorts of shit with it just for fun.  I wonder if I could re-wrap a lawn mower?

Nice score on the Duo.  Looks like it's in really good shape!

Did you get that from Tim in Australia? That guy makes killer stuff. I've bought like 8 of those things over the years.

What does that do?

Echo, Rogue Leader.  What DOES this do?

It lets you take advantage of the awesome FM music on Sega Master System games.  You install it into your US unit so you can play them with great music but still get US text.  The only other option from my understanding is a JP Master System.

Maxell 2S 5 1/4 Diskettes, Brand New
Quattro Sports [NES]


Since the PC games are in such goood condition I'm hesitant to get rid of them but a lot of them I already have on Sega CD so I can't decide if I want to keep them all.  The condition on them is amazing, the LucasArts ones have all the goodies and even the "Adventurer" magazines still.  Don't know about the diskettes but I'm guessing they're probably fine, I don't have a 3.5" floppy drive any more though.

The Quattro Sports is funny though since I was just talking to Dan the other day about the Quattro games since I'd never heard of them.

[SuperDeadite]

Wow, the Floppy version of TIE Fighter.  Honestly, you are way better off with the CD-ROM version as it includes the addon packs, either way awesome game must be played by all.  Sam and Max was my childhood as well.

Got the IFU from BlueBMW in today, and hooked it up.  Some of you may wince a little at what I done to the cover, so that I could close it without unhooking the controller.  I also had to make slight clearance for a region mod switch.  I do not think it turned out bad, even though some trimming was involved. 





Now after playing, I can just shut it and it can basically stay dust free, and look nice sitting there on the shelf.  I had to remove the right latch, and trim a little to allow room for the controller.

Yeah, got it from Tim- I'm really impressed with the workmanship. Obviously haven't tried it yet, but the thing looks solid.

[Bardoly]

Went to a few brick and mortar game stores in town yesterday.  As expected the prices were sad, one had Vasteel - $150, another had Neutopia II (loosie) - $90, another had Neutopia - $75.  I saved the one that's typically the worst at pricing for last.

Yeah, People Play Games in Chicago had a really nice condition boxed copy of Neutopia II (complete with plastic tray) for $130 when I visited there on Saturday.  If I didn't already have a boxed copy, then I would have been pretty tempted...

My Core Grafx has a smaller region switch so it would probably fit in the briefcase without having to make adjustments. That's a cool idea cutting a hole for the controller. Is one latch enough to secure it and still be able to carry it?

[Bernie]

hoobs, it seem to be although I must admit, I dont play on carrying it around much, and when I do move it I dont use the handle anyway.  

[PunkicCyborg]

poor IFU

heh it's a good idea though!

[Mathius]

That IFU still looks pretty sweet. I'd get one but I don't have the room especially if I am to get a CMVS one day.

Roy, that definitely is a pretty Duo. I don't own one yet but would make an exception and find the room for one if/when I find a good deal. I am still kicking myself for not jumping on the one Ope had for sale a while back. It 'twas boxed.
