teh "what did you buy today"-thread

[toymachine78]

This is pretty much everything I managed to get this summer. I leave to go away to school in about 2 days so it was nice to get the remaining items in (my Dreamcast VGA box didn't arrive in time, but oh well). Some games here are from VGS, ebay deals, the Troy Aikman Genesis cart is MWIV from chop, Truxton was from DragonmasterDan (Thanks again!), Prince Makai and Baseball Stars are from Bartre.



CMVS is from Jamma Nation X. I was debating about going the arcade route and whatnot, but I'm not very technical and I'd like to find a cheap cab on Craigslist or something to dick around with anyway. This has RGB, S-video, Composite (just for the sake of convenience), and Unibios. Can't wait to get some more MVS carts and probably a Multicart at some point, also Windjammers whenever the chance presents itself to me. Been waiting for this day for quite awhile, glad to finally be able to play Neo Geo at home. Hoping I can get some people at school interested in NG and PCE to start some tournaments and whatnot. But all in all, couldn't be happier. Don't worry though, I'll still have plenty of time for the PCE

You won't regret it. Having a neo at home is awesome! I play mine all the time. I'm really glad I went with a cmvs too. Costs less, takes up less space, and you can cozy up in your favorite chair. If I had gotten a cab, I doubt I would play it as much.

Well I guess by "arcade route" I more so meant like the Supergun type stuff with buying boards. It's definitely something I'd love to do at some point, but one step at a time. Hell if I can get a big red Neo cab for cheap, I'll definitely jump on it

some of my recent purchases

this nice lot from the facebook groups. paid about 500 bucks for all these items.


this huge lot was from 2 weeks ago when i made a trip to california. so much good stuff that was found. cant wait to go back

OUCH!!!  Way over paid for those Neo Games.  There were a TON of those on Ebay not to long ago, NOS at $22 a piece, I bought a set of them.  Even today they are $50 games at best.

Finally  .

Awesome dude! I just got the same thing, but the Gun Force 2 version. Mine would randomly freeze, though. I was like "WTF?" But then I looked between the boards and a little sticker that had some shiny stuff on it had fallen in there. Apparently it was enough to short some points. Removed it and all is good.

Congrats on getting a consolized,neo-geo mvs.While it's prices for it are cheaper compare to a aes they have been climbing.Still there's all ways multicarts as a option.If you're not sign up at neo-geo.com all ready,do so now.When i was buying for the mvs that's where i bought most of my games from.

20150814 - Thrift Finds by xelement5x, on Flickr

Went to the thrift the other day with a goal in mind but actually found something good as well.  I needed a new alarm clock/radio for our guest bedroom since the current one is broken and  picked up this nice Panasonic one for $3.

But the game case also had Dreamcast games, WHAT?! I almost never see Dreamcast goodies so I was really excited.  And they are games that I needed and are not horrible!  So I picked up Ready 2 Rumble and Ready 2 Rumble Round 2 for $2 each, happy days. They also had complete copy of Double Dribble for the NES they wanted $13 for.  LOL.

I also found a small slice of racism in 45RPM format so I picked it up for kicks at 70c.  My daughter liked the "hop hop" on the cover when she saw me bring it in so I am torn as to whether or not I should let her play with it. I might pull out my little 33/45 turntable and see if she can figure it out.

The game was on my search list for a long time  . It's an awesome game.
If you have graphic problems on a M92 PCB there are usually two problems:
- a bad connection between the top and bottom board
- a missing or wrongly placed jumper on the top board
Glad your PCB is fully working again  .

Yay. I've come him from holiday to find atlantean waiting. It's 3am so haven't had a chance to fire it up but it sure is shiny.

how did i way over pay? its very hard to find any of the aes games for 50 bucks or less. kof 94 us version alone sells for around the 200-300 dollar mark, some times even higher than that. the other aes games range from 70-100 a pop. the mvs games aero fighters 2 sells for 40-50 and fatal fury special from 20-30 bucks. i think i paid a good price for the condition of the games, otherwise, i wouldn't have bought em

[cr8zykuban0]

to round it off, here's what i paid
Art of fighting 2, world heroes 2 jet, aero fighters 2 and fatal fury special-$200 shipped
Kof 94, art of fighting, world heroes 2-$240 shipped
Ninja combat-$60 shipped

if you look up sold listing on the games individually, they are worth more than you think. im happy with what i paid. Even with the NOS games that were selling for 22 bucks a pop a few years ago, now those games are going for 3x sometimes even 4x the amount now a days.
