teh "what did you buy today"-thread

Latest batch from the 'bay:



Lady Stalker for the Super Fami - part of my endless quest to own all of the Climax games. Choplifter is the rare re-release variant (1 down, 2 to go for a full set of re-releases). Commando for the Fami - simply because I love Capcom's Famicom releases. This thing is about as close to mint condition as you could hope a 1986 Famicom cart could be. Really seems like the Japanese took better care of their shit than we did 

[Tatsujin]

Great hauly

I've seen far more mint FC games outtehre. Some times i think weren't even opened once and kept in a safe for the past 25 years.

If you are referring to my books, yeah, the hardcovers were a little overpriced.
I started the castlevania one last night and its a pretty good read.

I said they were cheap.  I wasn't being sarcastic.

Is that a lanyard hanging from the wall?
OR
Your thong?

Reflective PT belt. It keeps me safe when I go outside (or so the Army keeps trying to convince me...)

It stops gunfire???

Gunfire, drunk drivers, small explosions, falling meteors, and quite possibly the occasional flying fat person. According to the Army, these belts make you indestructible. Or the belt is indestructible. I get them confused

Had a Dentist's appointment yesterday then ran around a bit to try and grab a couple games before I needed to pickup my daughter from daycare.


2014-09-05 Finds Misc by xelement5x, on Flickr

A couple complete Xbox games:
SWAT
Starsky & Hutch
Unreal Championship

Plus Neon Genesis Evangelion Volume 1 Platinum Edition.  Picked this up to ask Hidenori Matsubara to sign it at NDK (anime convention) next weekend!


2014-09-05 Finds - Gamestop by xelement5x, on Flickr

Wii Music (Wii)
Cursed Mountain Special Edition (Wii)
Link's Crossbow Training (Wii)
Steel Diver (3DS)
Dream Trigger 3D  (3DS)

Some stuff from Gamestop, the were doing a 3 for $10 and I grabbed the 3DS games and Wii Music, Link's Crossbow Training was a whopping 44c.  I already have the regular Cursed Mountain, but it's a good game and this LE was pretty cheap too.


2014-09-05 Finds - Retro Store by xelement5x, on Flickr

Mighty Max (Genesis)
Legendary Wings (NES)
Silk Worm  (NES)
The Legend of Kage  (NES)
Viper  (NES)
Starship Hector  (NES)
Warhammer Dark Omen (PSX)
T-Mek (32X)

Finally went the local retro game store near me again and grabbed a couple things, they were doing a promo of buy 3 get the 4th free.  Hopefully I can sell that T-Mek to cover the costs of the other stuff I got there!

When I saw that I thought it was a heart rate monitor.  Made sense at the time with the running shoes and all.

The pedestrians around here could use a few of those indestructibelts - 3 seconds left on the (do not) walk light to get across 6 lanes of traffic?  Sure why not.

I lovingly refer to those people as road dots, not predestrians.

So that's part of the Land Stalker series?

More goodies that I had been waiting on

Today's stuffs!

Hot on the heels of all those loosie Sega CD games, the custom cases/inserts that I had ordered for them arrived today. Super sweet!


Lastly today, the little mini-monitor came in. I figure this should make a pretty sweet traveling companion, as it can easily fit into a small bag with any of my systems and provide some semi-on-the-go gaming whereever there is power

Where did you get that monitor?  Expensive?

Hong Kong special...$80 shipped!

A Rastan arcade board came in the mail from an online store.

Was said to work, but when hooking it up, I get no sound. -5v problem? Likely not since my POW also requires it and it work perfectly. Already notified them of the problem, just awaiting a response.

Nice, I can use something like this. Do you have a link? Does it accept component video input?
