teh "what did you buy today"-thread

The Redbook is the same though if I remember correctly.

I pray you get to feeling better, Escarioth.

I don't recall the Sega CD Snatcher having much redbook. Most if it was compressed audio.

I am referring to the opening cinema and certain major scenes throughout the game.

I scored Maniac mansion and VICE: Project Doom for the NES. Both games for under $10.00! Just an awesome week. After checking, I had no clue Vice was going for so much these days. Just insane the way these prices keep going up on Evilbay. Makes me sad. But still, I got them for an affordable price, so all is good!

Yesterday I had a few things.  I found an used PSP 2001 in case with a game, 2 empty disk cases, and a 2GB memory stick all for $15.  Bad battery but it works when I plugged a generic 5v adapter in.  Judging by the few files on the memory stick, it seems someone got it long ago, played with it for a few hours, then forgot it for the next 5 years before it ended up at Goodwill.  I just bought on eBay a new battery, a proper charger (so I can get my USB hub back working!), and a few games.

Sony PSOne console with controller and AC adapter.  $8  Works as well.  Also got original XBox (type S) controller with breakaway cable cheap.  I passed up a lot of PSX controller (pre-analog), a couple black PS2 controllers, and crapload of icky games or too pricey games. ($20 for a loose DS game? suck my thing)

2015-08-31 Urusei Yatsura Anime Cels by xelement5x, on Flickr

So, this is my first foray into importing anime cels and I was kind of surprised by how cheap they go sometimes.  I paid 200 yen for the 3 cels above, but since I needed them fast I had them shipped via EMS.  Between shipping and fees it was another 3800 yen to get them to my door. 

Still pretty cheap at about $11 a cel I think, but I'm not sure if I'd import more anytime soon.  I'm going to (hopefully) get them signed by the Japanese Voice Actor of Ataru this weekend.  Thanks again to SuperDeadite for pointing me in the right direction to look for them. 




2015-08-31 Popful Mail Poster! by xelement5x, on Flickr


A new Popful Mail goody, YEAH!!!

This Popful Mail poster showed up a couple months ago and of course I had to grab it for my delightful Popful collection.  It's got some slight wear to it but is still in really nice shape for as old as it looks. 

Based on what I can tell, I think it was a pre-promotion poster for the PC-88/98 versions.  I'm guessing this mainly based on the fact that Tatto looks much older in this artwork than he does in the games.

I think this is the 3rd or 4th Mail poster I've managed to find.  Now I need that Develo Disc though!

Wow you got a lot of nice pick ups there.  Although I am surprised you barely got super tempo because I would have thought you would have had that some time ago lol.  Also I am glad to see you finally got hihou densetsu chris no bouken with spine and Aurelia.  Definitely some really hard games to find with spine.  I actually did really well with my pc engine pick ups, but just need to wait for it to come in the mail, and show the peepz

Super Tempo complete & for a good price is a bitch to track down - took me a long time  .
I'm still missing about 50 Saturn titles that I want and there a (sadly) a few heavy hitters in there - most notably Hyper Duel (all auctions I have seen on that one in the last couple months ended between 350 - 450 Euro  ).
The PC Engine titles were also hard to track down.
I'm curious what you picked up - show us  .
