teh "what did you buy today"-thread

[roflmao]

Stopped by some thrifts today.

$1 each God of War II (had a memory card in the case even), Onimusha Warlords, Onimusha 2, Onimusha 3.

Nothing amazing there, but I haven't played the Onimusha games in ages so what the hell. Mainly grabbed God of War II for the memory card.

Some huge ass retarded Tom Clancy Rainbow Six CE thing (6 games in it and a huge guide) for $10. One of my brothers is big on Clancy, so this will be a nice gift. Didn't bother to look at value online, but I figure this f*cker can't even ship for $10.

Some wireless headphones I will probably gift for a dollar.

Nice! I have a friend who worked on the first God of War and I worked on Rainbow Six: Lockdown (a low point in the title's career).

Ah cool.

I don't think I've played a TC branded game since Rogue Spear. I pretty much quit playing most US shooters after really getting into Japanese games. Though I did quite like Halo.

Turns out the headphones are worth a little bit (looked into it when my friend was surprised I was gifting them to him).

LetGo was nice to me today.

Bubble gum



The Snoopy game, I already had for Wii U, but I don't like kids playing with the tablet, also it is quite frustrating to play as Woodstock using the Wii remote. Game screams for real controllers.

man, i really enjoyed the splatterhouse release on ps3

[Medic_wheat]

As did I. I feel the new splatterhouse is underrated. Now only is the new game fun it included the previous three games a great arcade port and two genesis exclusives. Even if you don't like the new game you can always enjoy the previous two. Win to the win.

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?

I wonder if they mean the caps are in the wrong spots, because if they are on backwards (reversed) they would likely explode within a short time of powering up...

I ordered a TGCD gear from this seller too - a year or two ago and it was good (along with several orders or hucards over the years)... I'll reserve judgement until I receive mine in the mail. 

Ok - so I received it last night - the version with Component, Composite and RGB... I was unable to get component working.. just a flickering picture on a CRT which accepts component and nothing at all on an LCD...

I will try again tonight, but it isn't looking good...

Got a fun package the other day. Was from someone I have traded with a fair bit in the past, looking to get rid of extra stuff. I paid $100 without knowing what the exact contents would be but with the assurance that I would be happy or I could send it all back at his cost. Ended up being quite pleased...

Dragon Force (loose)
Thunder Force V Special Package (complete)
Lunar SSSC guide (great shape)
Wing Commander IV
Cyber Core (complete)
Doraemon Meikyu Daisakusen (complete)
Namco Museum 3
A bunch of dvds mostly newer movies but also some random anime discs just a huge stack (50+ movies) so not worth listing them out by name.

Recent Sega pick ups:

[Gypsy]

Recently had a nice CIB Core Grafx arrive. Came with Galaga 88 and Tiger Road (Japanese version). It was $90 shipping included which I feel isn't terrible.

[sirhcman]

chany how is Line of Fire? I still need that one!

It is a fun game! It reminds me of Jackal on the NES, but it is vertically auto-scrolling so it also feels like a shoot em up. The best part about the game is that it has a hidden 3D mode. You get a nice sense of depth as walls rise high, trees loom, and canyon appear to be pretty deep. I highly recommend it if you have the glasses!!

Not a bad price at all!  Tiger Road is pretty fun in my opinion.
