awesome score on the twin famicom, That will be one of my next purchases

That's definitely something I want as well. My Gyromite converter works, but it sure is ugly.

Twin Famis are the best Famicoms to own. If anyone needs FDS maintenance I have a friend that does fantastic work.

I have been going to the local game store recently and trading in a lot of low value stuff I don't want to bother with selling recently, and they just got enough good Dreamcast stuff in that I decided to cash out some of that store credit.  So I picked up:


2015-10-13 Local Game Store Pickups by xelement5x, on Flickr

Resident Evil 2 [DC]
Bomberman Online [DC]
Dynamite Cop [DC] (loose disc)
Risky Woods [GEN]


Their prices are kind of high (a bit above ebay) but they also do buy three get the 4th free so that is a nice perk if you can time your purchases right.  I've already got a case for Dynamite Cop so picking up the loose disc was a nice way to get a complete copy cheap compared to ebay.

I got some common stuff from Endless Electronics in Youngstown Ohio.  Decent store, not the biggest collection but CHEAP Prices.

It is dog shit but I have been finding a bunch of cheap NES games in the box so why not right?

Spiderman, Blackthore, Darkxide.

Good luck with Spidey.  That one took me awhile to find at a price I was willing to pay for such a so-so game.  I really miss the days of being able to pick up retro games on the cheap and experience ones I missed.  Today I feel like I need to sell a kidney just to pick up a retro game that looks cool.

I found one loose in Connecticut for $200, I passed.  I only pay that much for Neo Geo games.

Good luck!!!  Spiderman is the only reason 32x isn't a cheap system to get complete CIB set.

I hear ya there.  I may complain about retro gaming being completely ridiculous now in terms of prices, however Neo Geo is the one exception to that rule as the games were always pricey.  I actually just got some really good buys from a few kind folks on the Neo-Geo forums.  I managed to get The Last Blade, Last Blade 2, Kabuki Klash, Puzzle De Pon, Blazing Star, Pulstar, Spin Master, and Top Hunter.  I'm now negotiating for Garou: Mark of the Wolves.  Needless to say, this was quite an investment, but I've been on the hunt for some of these for a damn long time now.  I also got my Crossed Swords II conversion from Razoola, which was fantastic! 

As you can see, Neo and TG are my two favs for retro outside my love affair with the Saturn.  It just sucks that Turbo games are nearly at Neo levels now, which really limits the games I can afford.

Darxide was actually never released in the US, just Euro land.  And it is region locked to PAL 32X/Genesis units so even buying a copy is pretty useless here unless you import the required hardware as well or modify some units.
