teh "what did you buy today"-thread

Man, Kakuto Chojin.  Didn't that game get pulled from the shelved for some religious blasphemy or something?

Yes, lines from the Quaran were in the background music. My local gamestop gave a copy to me for free back in the day because they were told to get rid of them.

What do you think of Konami's Ys VI localization work, as in, did you find the script dry, boring or acceptable, etc. ??

Assuming it's the same in the PSP version, I've no complaints.  I can't say I'm terribly particular (like Gypsy), but nothing stuck out as glaringly bad.


Saturday's mail brought me a karaoke pac, a copy of Angel Mate, one of those Zoom infomercial / magazine disc things, and a gratis Magicoal for the next Secret Santa.  Thanks, BMW!

The PS2 version of Ys VI is decent.  Just be sure to use cheat codes and play the game in "Japanese PC Mode."  So you get the proper animated scenes and the original music.  If you just start a new game you get fugly CG FMV scenes and crap music created directly by Konami.

The official game of ISIS. Allahu Akbar

Yes. For anyone curious it's when you start the game, you go into "cheat" mode. Then you mess around with coloured crystals. RBYRBY activates it, Y2xR4xB for PC mode.

I forgot to mention you jump and attack the center pedestal after inputting those. You will know that it worked because the selection indicator will now be in red after leaving the room.

Found a nice AV Famicom. In very good shape.

The nice surprise was that I was able to connect this EMiO stick of mine to a Wiimote and get it to work wirelessly with the AV Fami via one of those 8Bitdo NES receivers.

Which famicom game is that? Kind of looks like recc but that would mean the cart is fake due to it being orange.

Oh it's a fake, no doubt. ;p That Fami came with a whole bunch of those pirated/fake carts.

The game is Salamander/Life Force.

Wii U has so many great games. Don't believe otherwise.
