teh "what did you buy today"-thread

[vmorr]

What are these "swap meets" of which you speak?  I rarely find imports even at the local game stores

Every few months someone sets up an event at a hall, rents out tables to different stores in the area and usually a handful of collectors too. A couple collectors I've seen a couple times now usually have a lot of loose PCE games specifically but I don't know much about the library so I never pick anything up but there's always a few people with a stack of imports for most consoles. Seen some of everything except Megadrive and PS2 today. Guess people in Southern Ontario like to import lol

Some pickups today at a swap meet. I like to go to these things mainly to check out the imports but I'm hesitant to buy them at the same time because I have no idea what the going rates are for most of these games. Gotta read more into this stuff.

shit, you actually get imports at your swap meets? all we get in my area are either stupid overpriced mario games and sun damaged games

"6 Inch My Darling", sounded like a weird game lol

[Mathius]

Probably, I can't find much on it. Here's a short description:


"6 Inch My Darling Description: This is a dating game in which you chaperone one of three 6-inch tall fairies from another world as they go about exploring your world."

Manic Game Girl - Korean Exclusive PS1 Game by xelement5x, on Flickr

So this is a pretty uncommon (possibly even RARE ) game.  I had seen it awhile back on a JP site for a cheapish price with no indication as to condition so I jumped on it and it showed up today.  Much to my surprise, despite some slight staining to the manual and obi it looks to be in quite nice shape.  It even came with the registration card which I've never seen before. 

It is a PS1 Korean region exclusive title, but looks like it plays fine on Japanese PS units.  Due to the Korea only release, not a lot of copies are seen, I had only heard about the game from talking to cabbage and SuperDeadite about it.

^^What kind of game is it, xele?

Exactly. If it isn't a shootemup, then I don't give a damn.

Korean exclusive Playstation game from 2002! Kind of a Shenmue-lite I suppose. It's sort of a celebration to gamer/otaku culture. Lots of references to many other games. Neat idea, but the combat is rather annoying due to very stiff controls, lining up attacks is rather difficult. Can be enjoyable in small spurts though.

   Credit to Superdeadite of course. 

[SuperDeadite]

It's got some neat ideas, and sense of humor, but it's honestly quite terrible.  I bought mine as it was cheap and had pretty much no info at the time.

[xelement5x]

Yeah, my interest was piqued after watching SuperDeadite's video and talking with him about it for a bit.  I would be lying though if I said I didn't think it was a pure collectard piece, and I paid around what Deadite did for it as well I think.

The MGG 'staining' is pretty common. I guess they cheaped out on the packaging. The registration card seems to be made with higher quality paper

Glad you got it for a good price xele It's a nice piece for a collection, but perhaps not such a nice piece for a gaming library nowadays. Too bad the English localization never saw the light of day... even if the gameplay isn't so great, there's still a fairly novel setting/story with quite a bit of fanservice.

[roflmao]

It's not a game, but this recent buy is too awesome to not post whore. 

Sorry for bringing up such an old post but I haven't checked out this thread in awhile.

Congrats, Necro! It's one of the pride and joys of my LD library, even if it's not a particularly valuable or rare gem.

Nice!  I just started playing PE again on my PS TV.  Game takes me back, though my wife used to complain I played with Aya more than I played with her!

Ha! I love PE. The music really nails that cyberpunk 90s vibe. Though I wish I could skip the cutscenes I've already watched.

I liked it as well, was Squaresoft respectable quality for me. Anybody try the sequel ? I also bought it upon release, though it sits comfortably in my sad backlog for whenever...
