teh "what did you buy today"-thread

[VenomMacbeth]

Haha my comment was mostly in jest.  I agree with you, but unfortunately a lot of the good games (Snatcher, anything Working Designs) are way out of my price range.

There are quite a few more affordable games I want that I've yet to acquire though, such as Android Assault (mostly because I can't decide between the U.S. & JP versions), Final Fight, Devastator, Rebel Assault...probably some others I'm forgetting. 

For now, I have 9 games, and the only ones I ever play are the Core ones (Thunderstrike, Battlecorps, Soul Star) and Sonic CD.  My 32x gets more love, oddly enough...

sol feace and silpheed are good too.
batman returns was one of the discs it came with
Final Fight is the best home port made.

Sol Feace is also on the Genesis, lacks the awesome redbook soundtrack though. As a game I think it's okay, but the music is just stellar.

I totally forgot about Silpheed, definitely a good game. I actually really like The Amazing Spider-Man vs Kingpin but I'm sure it's not everyone's cup of tea.

Unless you have JP hardware or a Mega Everdrive to switch CD regions, stick with the US version as Mega-CDs are region locked.

Sega CD love is a good thing.  I'm a huge fan of the system and it's library, it actually had a lot of western development done for it which makes a unique library of games.  Popful Mail is obviously a great ARPG and my favorite game on the system, but Terminator is solid and for all its campiness so is Ground Zero Texas.

Oh, and the Genesis version is Sol DEACE, the Sega CD version is Sol FEACE.  I dunno why.

I got me a Tototek Mega Cart; I can play whatever I want!

I've already got Dennin Aleste, Sol Feace, and Ninja Warriors.

I forgot to mention Terminator.  The price for that one seems to be creeping up...

Is Demolition Man any good?

There are ways around the region lockout for the sega-cd.Everdrive,Megacart or region mod the sega-cd.I had a member here,put in a bios that's been hacked to be region free.So far it works great for me.

Well I got tired of messing around with scalers and 20 year old CRTs that tend to have random issues.  So I said f*ck it and bought this beast.  Truly brand new (manufactured in 2014) true flat auto trisync arcade monitor.  Very expensive I'll admit, but I couldn't be more pleased.

I didn't know they still made new arcade monitors.  How did you order this by the way?

[SuperDeadite]

I live in Japan.  Due to arcades still being alive here there are still a few Japanese arcade suppliers that have batches made every few years or so.  This beast is 29'' and weighs 105lbs, you wouldn't want to try importing one overseas...

[xelement5x]

Damn deadite, that is amazing.

Was the connections box included or seperate? Does the box have ports for speakers?

[CPTBadAss]

I got Klax the other day for very cheap XD. It's really fun. I never tried it until I saw it at Galloping Ghosts.

Candy cabs look nice, but take up too much space and are kind of a pain to connect other things too besides arcade games.  The monitor is mounted in a big wooden box.  So very easy and totally safe to rotate, plus I can easily use this for consoles, computers, and arcade games.

The connection box was sold separately, but you get a discount if you order both as a bundle.  It has RCA jacks for audio output on the side.

[munchiaz]

Wow, that monitor is really nice Deadit
