teh "what did you buy today"-thread

[DragonmasterDan]

interesting.  not sure i knew a pro am was on genny.  is that any good?

It's a good game to start with, even if it's a port of a somewhat older NES game.

^ Iron Tank (NES) is a fantastic game. Better music than the arcade, IMHO.

Word. Funny, I had a flashback of the Ikari Warrior background music, I can still remember the main track. I hated the turtle slow character movement though.

Not a purchase but I was recently given a small Sony Trinitron. It's only got S-Video and composite but my PCE is looking better on this than it has on any TV, with composite. Told my friend about it when I visited the other day and he offered me a 35” Sony Trinitron with composite, S-Video, and component for free. I really want to take it but I'm not sure I have room for it and getting it where I want to go will be a problem even after finding a stand for it. I'm very happy with the Triitron I have but I really want this one now... :/

I say grab it.


That's what I did for my CRT that was on the side do the road. It was so heavy and such a pain.


How in the hell did I never complain about the weight of these old CRTs when I was a kid?



Or as my friends 9 year old likes to call my tv "the big butt tv".

Yeah, I'm going to try and get a model # or some dimensions so I can see if I will even be able to get it up the stairs, then if I can find a cheap stand I'll pick it up.

Classic games look amazing on CRT's.  Plus light gun support.  Get the tv!

Yesterday's mail brought me Summon Night 5.  The box is pretty neat (and unexpected), but it's unfortunate that it was used as a shipping box and not protected at all; mine arrived in pretty good shape and the shipping label came off okay, but I bet a lot of 'em won't be so lucky:

And it's only about five months late!  That's pretty good for ol' Vic.

I didn't realize they where still releasing games for the PSP.


Is this being released for the Vita physically as well?

[Necromancer]

Physical is PSP and pre-order only, but the download is available for PSP/Vita/PSTV.

It may well end up being the last UMD release.  Though Vic's said that Class of Heroes 3 will also get a physical release, I suppose that'll depend on how long it takes for him to get it ready.  Sony ain't gonna keep the equipment running forever, especially not for a couple thousand copies.

my little haul from MGC this year:




stoked to have a 2590Q now

Is that a coleco chameleon sticker?

Is that a coleco chameleon sticker? 

It's probably from the demo kiosk unit lol.

If you pep it up it will have a SNES Jr.
