teh "what did you buy today"-thread

Japan score, Alcahest for Super Famicom. This game was previously evading me real hard!
Yeah it may have a Squaresoft logo (predominantly a HAL Laboratory game) on it, but it's not an RPG,  rather a stage based overhead action game

Fallout: New Vegas Collector's Edition PS3 Stuff by xelement5x, on Flickr

I was cruising my local thrift the other day and I came across this and was quite interested!  It looks like whoever had donated stuff decided to keep their games, but donated all the Limited Edition baubles to the store.  The other games LE stuff looked like it was from a Halo and Assassin Creed game so I wasn't really interested. 

Anyway, I had picked up a copy of New Vegas cheap on clearance from GameStop so I decided this would be kind of neat to add to the collection for $6.  Apparently the Collector's Edition still has some decent value to it as well!

It came with:
Hardbox to hold everything
Slipcase to cover the box
Soundtrack
Playing cards
7 Poker chips
Big "Lucky 38" chip
Hardbound graphic novel

I've ordered a briefcase set up rgb nodded with 3.0 card and a couple of games to go with.
A-train iii & Ys iv
I hope the layout for A3 is similar to DOS version or I'll be stuck. Plan to make good use of nightwolve's work for Ys 4.

I remember you talking about that set in the chat but I didn't realize how cool of a collectard edition it was. Awesome pickup!

Sparks, are those controllers the same as the ones made by Fukushima Sansui?

This is all new to me MG and i could not find alot of info on them except they were released in 1988 and unknown developer.

They appear to be similar to the Sansui and Beeshu Zipper

[MotherGunner]

True, seems like the exact same controllers except that the Sansui ones come with a headphone jack and vol slider.  I was able to pick up two of these for my NES. 

[ProfessorProfessorson]

Does the earphone jacks on those gamepads actually work well?

[BlueBMW]

That was on feature I loved about some of the 3DO game pads.  The built in headphones jack + volume knob.  Why more controllers dont feature this is beyond me.

[MotherGunner]

Hi Mike, I had no issues with the feature, though vol could be a little higher I guess?  =)

I've never even held one. I have given up on ever getting one.

Couldn't agree more. When I had a 3DO back when I was a Sophomore in high school I felt real high tech when I could just whip out my headphones are play games in peace.
