and prikura daisakusen as well.

That's pretty slick!  I haven't seen those before either.  I love crazy stuff like that.

The Genesis games were a gift from my aunt, who found them at a yard sale for $1 a piece.  They're in excellent condition and all CIB, some with posters.

Soul Star is an amazing game.  It really shows the mostly untapped potential the Sega CD had.

Boxed Outrun. Nice! Yes Soulstar is a damn cool game. I can't really get comfortable with the controls during the mecha levels though.

Here is my recent stuff, and this might be it for a long time, as i just got hit with student loan repaymets

Enjoy it Necro!  Glad to hear it made it safe and my custom made magazine-backbone held up well in intl shipping

The mailman handed me copies of Seiya Monogatari and its mook yesterday.  Sexy!

I think it could've survived an Ace Ventura delivery the way you packed it.

Man, the boxed Aladdin looks minty!

It's a little dented inward on the back, but for $1 I'd say so!

For some reason, I like those late model genny boxes.

The "take" from Octurbofest - thanks to Beemer for the x68000 midi board and the 8MB ram upgrade. The beast is complete!

Final Fight CD and Gauntlet IV also from Beemer, Bikkuriman World and Energy (ugh) from Windy Gaming.

Silent Scope 2 was a thrift pickup; only decent thing I've seen at my local Goodwill in over a year.

You left out the Sega PAC.

Welcome to the world of MIDI, now you too can spend an insane sum for professional level synth modules, mixers, amps, and speakers.  I think I've spent more on my custom MIDI setup then I have on the computer, almost double lol.

What does your current setup contain?

I brought my shiny new Roland SC-55 to Octurbofest, then immediately realized that I had forgotten speakers and a splitter cable. Beemer and I had to run to a computer store to pick up some Logitech speakers to test out the card with.

I actually want to keep my setup nostalgic - just stereo speakers like in the old PC days. I've run retro systems through my 7.1 home theater setup and I'm actually not a huge fan of doing it that way.

I do, however, really want to buy an old 486 and run the old Roland MT-32 games like Wing Commander.

[SuperDeadite]

The SC-55 is good for purists, but for me the whole point of MIDI is too make things sound as awesome as possible, hence the good old 55 just doesn't cut it.

Nando I use: Yamaha MU2000EX + PLG150-DR (GM and GS games) and a Roland CM-64 (LA games) as my main setup.  Also have a few odd devices like a Yamaha SY22 for the one game that supports it.  Still have all my old modules as well (CM-500, TG100, SC-55mkII, M1FR..) but they are more nostalgia pieces at this point.
