teh "what did you buy today"-thread

Yeah that's the peke version cup.  Saturn had different cups for both 2 and Boomerang by the way.

I was getting a little depressed that only about 60% of my Famicom disks worked in my Famicom Disk System. So I bought some Xanax... erm, Zanac.

Pretty fun so far! Crazy to see a game this early in the Fammy's lifespan running this fast! Still need to figure this game out though.

Got some neat birthday stuff too I'll post about as soon as I get a picture of it.
 
(btw, someone recommended this guy to help with my disk problems. He TOTALLY fixed them! They work perfectly, and he even burned some All Night Nippon on one of the bad disk's good sides! I'd recommend him as well.)

On a related note I finally got this one. Now I just need the MSX1 version!

Zanac EX? Is that a caravan version? I didn't think Zanac was included in the caravan tournaments.

[Opethian]

nah its just the MSX2 version so it has smoother scroll. I hate those damn octopus enemies they don't die! got to area 11 on my first go. Id like to compare it to the original some day. probably less flicker on the MSX1 version?

Nice! Way to one-up me. I know one of these days I'll need to get an MSX or Sharp of some sort. It's practically my destiny... just need to find it.

the FDS version of Zanac is pretty awesome if you ask me!

What's different about it compared to the US cart release?

[Opethian]

it was only on FDS in japan. only on cart in US I think some sounds are a bit different? I think deadite remembers.

Deadite? The floor is yours.

Comparing my disk with a couple of NES version videos I found on YouTube. There's a bit of music channel loss when bullets get fired and such which I didn't notice in the FDS version, which makes sense since the FDS has an extra sound channel or two. (Didn't hear any FM stuffs in it though)

Also, the first level music seems to be down a key or two.

local gamestop clearing out loose PS2 games for about .50 each and ds for $2-$5
Couldn't help it.

Nice, Nightmare of Druaga is sweet

[Nando]

The wario game looks fun, have you tried it yet?

[xelement5x]

Nice!  My gamestop has all PS2 loosies so I've been grabbing them where I can as well.  Once I finish clearing out the ones near me I will do a post as well.  Protip, if a game is listed as being 2c, it is actually free after the 75% off discount.
