teh "what did you buy today"-thread

[Keranu]

I can't believe I totally forgot about these, the Capsule Shooting Watch by Yujin. I got these several months ago on ebay, iirc just under $5 each. They're inspired by the original Hudson shooting watch made famous by Takahashi Meijin. It can tells time and measures how fast you can press a button in 10 seconds. My record is 115 in 10 seconds with a single button, no where close to Takahashi. There's 5 watches in all with designs from Adventure Island, Bomberman, and famicom. I have the other two, the original Hudson design and Star Soldier. Now if I can just find the bomberman I'll be satisfied.
 

I've never seen that watch version before, that's cool! I really want to get one of those pad shaped ones. Button tapping (with other people especially) is suprisingly addicting. I can tap 10 times per second in Star Soldier R.

Got another Bomberman game for the girlfriend.

Sweet!

But I didn't realize that MVS stuff came with boxes like that - I figured they just came in plain brown cardboard with some black printing or something. (or is that an MVS cart mismatched with an AES case?)

What busted shows is a shockbox for the mvs cart,a member at neo-geo.com makes those for any one that's wants that a case for it.

Some of the mvs carts i have used them.

I got a copy of Goonies for the Famicom for my wife.  She used to play it on her older brothers Famicom when she was just a kid.  She is really not a gamer but she likes some of the classics.  (and the Wii)

Nice, I used to love playing the goonies game. I had the US version though, which is like part two or something? lolz!

Found a copy of MappyLand on Friday for my NES nothing exciting but i have been wanting to play this game for a short while.

Its actually quite fun and plays very much like the Mappy arcade game so i think i did good on this one.

[Tatsujin]

I think sensei is talking about the frist goonies game.

While it did show up here in the arcades on nintendo vs system,it never got a domestic release for the nes.

Even though it did show up on the famicom.

Pretty much the nes just got the goonies 2 instead for the u.s 

Btw a video of the frist goonies game.

[TR0N]

Btw the music for lagrange point is realy good for a famicom game.

Thanks to it's VRC7 chip

Everyone at neo-geo.com is a jackass -- but that's the source of most of the magic.

(Shockboxes are awesome, but also a poor-man's home cart )

A pack of double AA batteries for my camera so I can start taking pics of my collection and gets.

Shockboxes are pretty nice. Nearly all the MVS I own are inside a shockbox, with art. Not quite what I would call a "poor man's homecart", especially sonsidernig what the boxes cost, with art, shipped. You add about another $10 to the price of a cart by having a shock box!

I place mine in shockboxes to keep them clean and safe, I think it looks better than a stack of MVS carts, and it also makes it easier to locate games, especialy those jap carts!
