Valis 2. Good tuneage in that game. Enjoy!

[TheClash603]

Picked up a small haul today, but it has some nice goodies in it and the price was right.

I need to get a Japanese Saturn eventually.  I hate relying on that fucking Sega Saturn port!

@Deletion. Thansk for the Link i just bought some of the plastic sleeves. Also heres what i got today. Found some good deals on the games at Bestbuy.

[henrycsc]

That would be very cool dingsbums.  Would you create a thread and post the images?    Or if you'd make copies of what you did, I'd be interested in the 1.0, 2.0, and 2.1 (if you did them all.    )

I only  have the Ver. 1.0 System Card so I only made this one  .
If you want them click on my signature  .

Sweet Dingsbums!  Great collection!


Munchiaz - gratz on Cotton!

SuperPlay - awesome soundtrack discs!

Punkic - AV Tanjo..... trade fodder when you're done with it?  ;)  That's one I'm still missing.

The coverart for Fighting Street is one of the best you'll find for TG-16 games, in my opinion. It may not be inspired (it is pretty generic), but I thougt it was executed well.

I need not say anything about Valis II.

[JapanTokei]

congrats.  Fray is da shit.  a lot of fun.. like Ikari Warrior / Time soldiers type of game but with fantastic cd audio and good game bosses + cut scenes.  I was after that one for a while and after finally snatching it this year, I can say it is well worth it.  Now if Legend of Valkarie was as good as Fray, that would have been ideal.... its nice to dream

Haha Quid, I knew someone would mention that.

It's my Tetris rug I made back in 2010, took around 3 months to make.

[SuperPlay]

Looking at the quantity of great purchases recently,  people must be as broke as me ;-) LOL

Great work on the Tetris rug :-)

Finally got an Aztec Monster SCSI -> CF adapter in for the X68000.  Goodbye 80mb HDD, hello 2gb CF card!

Nice piece of kit, I may get around to picking up a X68000 at some point.

[roflmao]

I ♥ the Tetris rug.

I take it back.  It's definitely cool looking.

Got the 3DS XL today. It was the last one in stock at the Best Buy I went to... lucky me! Purchased Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance to go along with it.


Its charging right now... but in about an hour, I'll be all over this thing! Definitely an upgrade over my DS Lite

[nectarsis]

Less than $50 for ALL this goodness

Love is Hell! I had forgotten about that book! I used to read it all the time!

[esteban]

/ccc1c7aa.jpg

I remember these...except for the "Best of Dragon Vol. IV". I never read that.

You will send it to me? Thank you.

The DM/Player Guides and Monster Manual you picked up must be later editions because I don't recognize the cover art.

Ahhhh, good times.

Panama Joe and Pitfall Harry arrived today:

[VestCunt]

Nice OD&D, but ditch that 4E stuff fast. I grudgingly bought the new PHB for a friend's game this spring and couldn't believe how bad it is.

[xcrement5x]

Panama Joe and Pitfall Harry arrived today:

Wow, Pitfall 32X, that must have been a pricey acquisition!

And Ji-L87, I love that Yuna poster!  How big is it?

Been on an MVS binge lately. All authentic carts, but Wind Jammers has a cheap replacement label and suffers from a few garbled sprites. I knew before I bought it, but it was cheap enough that I figured it was worth taking a chance with. Tried opening the cart and cleaning it, but still suffers from the problem. Anyone have any ideas on what I might do to correct the problem if it CAN be corrected? Thanks.

Already own a copy of NAM 1975, but it came in the lot so, oh well.

[BlueBMW]

I have a Blazing Star MVS cart that had garbled background graphics....  I ended up resoldering every solder point on both boards.  I found three or four cold/cracked solder joints on various chips.  That fixed the problem!

[roflmao]

I have some cool (to me) turbob stuff arriving over the next few days, but I'm going to hold out posting a pic until Mysterious Song arrives.  It shouldn't be long now!

Thanks for the tip! I cracked it open again to give the boards a closer examination and happened to see one lone pin on the C3 chip on the CHA board that doesn't appear to have been soldered.
Little late to mess with it tonight, but I'll try giving a little solder job to it (heh) tomorrow and see if that does anything.

[tpivette]

Just got my CD Rom drive back from being repaired (thanks Chop5!), and after 23 long years, my Turbo Grafx base system is finally whole!

[roflmao]

Congrats, tpi!

Cold solder joints tend to be a common problem with AES/MVS carts. Out of my 40 AES carts I have owned 4 games that had that problem. My Last Blade 1, Samurai Shodown 2, Art of Fighting 3, Fatal Fury 2 and KOF 95. Last Blade 1 and FF2 were the worst with either very glitchy graphics or sound glitches. The other carts had mild graphical glitches, but are all fixed by just reheating all the solder pins.

Lookin' good, vette! My main Turbo gaming platform is a Turbo CD combo as well. If you haven't been able to snag a Super System Card 3.0 for a decent price yet keep looking. I don't know why but I really enjoy switching those System Cards in and out.

[roflmao]

My main Turbo gaming platform is also my Turbo CD combo!  I love my Duo, but it's just that much more authentic to the nostalgia when playing on the old-school combo to me.

Could someone explain the 'toilet kids' title to me?  I'm too scared to type it into a Google search.

If anybody knows WOOT, I picked up the married... Box set through them for 10 a few months back. They are essentially amazons version of overstock now (since amazon bought them).  One of those different deals every day site.

[VenomMacbeth]

Here's everything I've acquired recently. 

[wilykat]

a brand new Power Pak for 3DS (original, not XL) for $2. Well, 2.12 after tax but that's dirt cheap for a battery pack.
