teh "what did you buy today"-thread

[cr8zykuban0]

i see where you're coming from but i didnt really pay scalper prices for these.

Any time you pay over retail on something that just came out, you are paying scalper prices.

well i only paid around 16.60 each figure, which isnt bad compared to 40-50 dollars that people in my area are asking for golden mario alone. although, it is a bit over retail, i'm happy with the purchase

2015-04-06 BEEP! MegaDrive Best Selection CD by xelement5x, on Flickr

I had picked this up on a whim on a Yahoo Auction since I like getting random audio CDs from Japan and I'd never seen this one before. 

Featured game music is Shinobi, Vermillion, Phantasy Star II, Super Monaco GP, After Burner II, Golden Axe, Assault Suit Leynos, Coumns, and Tatsujin with 26 total tracks. Pretty solid listening, sounds like they were recorded directly from some decent hardware.

Picked these up over the weekend decently cheap. Also realized both of my Game Gears have shat the bed and need new caps.

I've been regrettably broke here recently, but I just couldn't pass up this sexy lady for $10.



The articulation leaves much to be desired, but I'm spoiled by Figmas & Revoltechs, and this is much more affordable & toy-like.  The plastic's even got that rubbery feel the old Star Wars figures had.  I just wish if they were gonna use the Prime model, they would have used Prime colors instead of the Super Metroid deco.

Now if only I can find the 6" Metroid, now...

Going Ys crazy

Now I have the room for it, I got one of these:



S-Video and Component inputs and even Composite outputs, couldn't be happier.

Just got a new sealed copy of river city ransom for NES and a new sealed copy of victory run!

Well, ever since my fiance and I have dug out my Duo we have mostly been using my HTPC and an emulator until I recap my Duo. But it has reignited the fire in me for my Duo and it's games.

I figured I would try and grab some more games for when my Duo is back up to snuff. I am or was but still think I am a huge old school RPG'er. So Exile was on the top of my list and I was fortunate enough to see that a member on this forum had it for sale. Also, I have never played R-Type.... I know I know wtf right. So I also grabbed this game.

In the end I nabbed Dragon Spirit, Vigilante, Sidearms, Ordyne, It Came from the Desert, plus the two games mentioned above. I also grabbed Military Madness, Champion boxing, tv sports hockey and Shockman.

I may have went a little overboard.... But if my fiance enjoys the games and wants to keep playing them like I do then the Duo is an amazing device by actually helping my relationship.

First time in a while that I bought anything. I'm pleased.

Exile is one of my recently-discovered favorites. The only thing I don't care for is the grinding, but that has more to do with my lack of skill & patience.  Have you played the game before?

Twin Fami. Arrived today from Fukuoka. Needs a good clean but other than that it's in pretty good shape.
 Will have to check the drive belt later to see how much has melted away

Well, I have Exile: Wicked Phenomenon, original owner since it was released. So I hope the first Exile is similar.
I always meant to buy Exile but at the time I was still in high school and any games I got my dad bought. Usually any games I wanted that my dad didn't want to buy I would try and save everything I could to buy them. So at the time I remember buying the second Exile, Dragon Slayer, Dungeon Explorer 2 and Dungeon Master.

I used to swap between the sega cd and Duo as I really enjoyed both cd consoles although the difference is I beat nearly all of my TurboGrafx games. I only ever beat Silpheed, Sol Feace, Lunar: Silver star, Vay, streets of rage on the sega cd. There were prolly others but those are the only ones I remember.

Wow, so you started with the "bad" one...lol

If you liked that, though, I'm sure you'll really like the first one.  The story is more cohesive & the difficulty is (somewhat regrettably) on the opposite end of the scale, provided you grind your ass off.

It seems like you lucked out & got a lot of the more expensive games when they were new & not scalper-gouged all to hell.

[MNKyDeth]

Yeah, I do consider myself partially lucky that I did get most of the RPG's although there are still two out there I want... Dragon's Curse and Monster Lair. They both are still under $100 so I really need to decide soon if I really want them before they go above that magic line for me.
