@dicer- nah dont say that man. I just got lucky that i got these for a good price conpared to what they normally for. Definitely need to jump back on the pc engine wagon!

@evilevolx thanks to income taxes i was able to afford the cab but i got it for 400 and each game under 300 each. Even though aof 3 plays a bit slower, it does make up for its great visuals and beautiful animations

Sweet bazzy swag!  I especially dig the hat, but what's next to the clock?  Just its box maybe?

[Bloufo]

Just an MGS Bleemcast disc.






I never fail to get a kick out of the MGS opening tune coming out of the Dreamcast. lol

Yea it is packaging for that clock but not just an ordinary clock it's a fridge magnet

Heh, even better.  He's watching you, telling you to forget that left over pie.  Eat a 'nana, fatty! 

Yesterday's mail brought me a copy of Bust a Move for PSP.

WOW $300 for AOF 3 is a steal!!!  The Real bout Series is a favorite of mine as well.

I just got these from NYC the other day, wasn’t even planning on it just ran into them.  They came with some cool acrylic cases that I used to put my more expensive games in (last Resort & Savage Reign.

Thrash Rally and Real Bout Fatal Fury Loose.









Thrash Rally is a Link game that must be fun two players simultaneous.  I’d love to try that.

I paid like $2 for all the Art of Fighting games. *picks nose**

*Yes I'm aware playing it on PS2 isn't the same thing.

Got a nice game in the mail today. Double Shienryu. PS2 import.

   I always wanted to try this.  I remember reading an article that said that the grafx are improved. how much better are they?  Does the game run better?  The article I read showed Grand Tourismo and it did look better.

As compared when playing MGS on the original PS? Graphically, no question this a very noticeable step up from that. Higher res, smooth textures. I'd probably even slightly prefer this over playing the original MGS on a PS2. Over VGA on that old PC CRT Monitor, it's clean and sharp.

Gameplay wise, the game runs fine. I'm not a huge fan of the DC's controller to start with though, so I borrowed a friends old PS to DC controller adapter (Total Control Plus). I'm used to playing this game with a PS controller, so this was right up my alley. Controls were tight and responsive.

I was looking forward to trying it with my wireless PS2 Logitech controllers as well. Pity though they don't seem to function with that particular adapter.

Got some shit today.

Box full of PC games, all boxed. Need to compare Icewind Dale II to my other copies but it's a very likely raffle option here. It's one of my favourite old PC rpgs, so I'd like to find a good home for it.

Also SFC cheapy goodness Magical Taruruto Kun (sp?) and Arrow Season 3 on blu (DONT HATE).

[Gypsy]

Woop woop. Got a nice package from Japan today that took over a month. Thunder Force VI (HOLY SHIT THIS GAME ROCKS), Mushihimesama (this is kind of a bad port but the 360 version is region locked) and Triggerheart Exelica Enhanced (third character wee).

[Dicer]

My PoP came in, makes me lust after a Karateka port...

oh shit i remember seeing this post on facebook! i've definitely seen you around the fb groups before! that was a great score with those 2 very awesome games! awesome pickup forsure!!

[Bloufo]

Got this,

So. Wait. It's?  What?


Is it a way of modding for component in a PCE? 

That looks like the RGB version - there is a component version as well - which I have just ordered to try out...

The HD Retrovision folks were saying that this is "a poorly designed ripoff" of the product offered by db-electronics. And that this has the capacitors on backwards. "Video signal quality would be compromised and eventually those capacitors will fail."

I believe the seller of these is also a member here. I wonder what he has to say about this?



Anyhoo,

My latest pickup was one of those Atari XEGS systems.

Got it relatively cheaply. Quite discolored but it works fine.
