How does the Sega Collection play on the 3DS ? I was wanting to try it as I would love to play Space Harrier.

I recently just bought OutRun 3D from the eShop. I'm having a lot of fun with that, wish that cartridge came out in NA because I'd like to try Fantasy Zone 3D too. Oh well.



Finally got a PVM today! Picked it up on Craigslist. So far I can only use the S-video and composite, but even that looks fantastic. Can't wait until I can get my hands on a SCART to BNC cable to enjoy the RGB on my Duo R.

How does the PVM look using the systems you've hooked up so far?

[tknjin]

that is looking pretty frickin sweet jtucci31.  I can't wait for my duo R to come in with its upgraded RGB goodness.  I have some pc engine stuff to play on it, and miss it too

I picked up Super Bonk and Super Bonk 2 off eBay for a steal . Getting a Turbo has fed my addiction for Bonk games. They're so fun and so cute!

I have yet to play it yet. Been to busy playing bloodborne. But ill report back once i get a chance to try them out

Super Bonk 2 is a blast!

Air Zonk is a blast, Super Bonk 2 is a bash

That would make Adventure a smash and Revenge a crash.

Traded in some poop & finally got a copy of Brain Lord, an opportunity to relive a childhood memory (Sonic Adventure 2 Battle) as well as that of a friend's (Wind Waker).

The Super Metroid is my old copy which my friend just dug up from his closet, after several years.  Thought I'd show 'er off, even if she's nothin' special.

Awesome, I love Brain Lord! It never seems to get much attention, but I think it's a great mix of puzzles and action RPG goodness... a little on the short side, though.

Wind Waker is great too, but I can't go back to the GC original after playing through the recent (excellent) Wii U remaster.

I am pretty sure I haven't played Brain Lord...I better add it to my list of games to play.

[VenomMacbeth]

Esty, you need to play Shubibinman 2 first.  Drink the koolaid, dammit!

Inframan, that sounds nice, but Wind Waker on the Wii with component cables will just have to do for us broke folks. ;)

[esteban]

I need to play Shubibinman 1 & 2!!! 



I have beaten Shubibinman 3 many times because it is so easy.

[Mathius]

I had to pay the $6 and get Thunder Blade for my 3DS. It's my fave arcade game of all time.

[Joe Redifer]

Is that out? Now I need to check. Of course first I need to dust off and charge my 3DS.

Have fun! Having a circle pad pro makes things even cooler since it allows for throttle control.

2015-05-15 Class of Heroes 2G and Retro City Rampage by xcrement5x, on Flickr

After learning that a vendor was selling copies of Class of Heroes 2G and all of them were the A variant I was missing, I had to pick up a copy from them.  The number on the sticker is 2551, so very close to the end of the run I think.  I'm guessing they got the tail end of all the stock.  The cost was more than the original pre-order price, but I finally have an A disc variant, so that makes all three!  Woohoo!  I am not going to worry about the stickers variants right now

I also got a copy of Retro City Rampage for the Vita.  This was a limited release with only 3300 copies made and it's already completely sold out through Fangamer.  Here's hoping they are able to get other indie devs on board for making physical copies of previously digital only releases.

Is this out in NA? Or do you just have a JP 3DS to import stuff?

I've been tempted to pick up a copy of that through eBay but not sure if I wanna drop the $$$.......................

[Medic_wheat]

Seems there was a printing for the Vita and PS4


Wonder if it matters which there is to get.


Looks like the vita is the cheapest at around $45. Eh. Maybe.

I like the art on the Vita cover more and it seems like a good game for a portable. The PS4 version was more limited but I managed to grab a 20th anniversary PS4 and its staying sealed in the box until some decent RPGs are released.

When Vic released the game there were three different disc variants made, and in the manual there are 1 of three different sticker sets included (I have yet to update my Flickr image with the last variant).  I am a regular on the Gaijinworks forums so I put together the image below when we were figuring out all the variants that existed.  Supposedly there is a bonus Vic has hidden in some copies as well but that has yet to be revealed.

Amazon was considerably cheaper than ebay for it.

[Jinxed]

Got my hands on a lynx today, i payed $45cad.
It came with electro cop which is ok, I plan to pick up gauntlet and california games in the near future.
I was to poor to own one back in the day so im glad to finally have one

[Medic_wheat]

One of my favorite handhelds back in the day.  And it seems that the games for it are very reasonably priced.  Try hunting down Warbirds and Gates of Zendicon!  I spent a lot of time playing those back in the day!

[o.pwuaioc]

I think Zaku can still be bought. If so, definitely worth tracking down.

It's nice for a Lynx game, but I was expecting a slightly slower, scaled down Air Zonk and it didn't play nearly as well as I had hoped.

I forgot to check amazon,though some times there prices are no better.Since all i have is a SFC it's simpler for me to buy that version instead.

Gates of zendicon, nice i could not remember the name of that one. i had friends with lynx's when i was younger and that's one of the games i used to play the shit out of.

The box for it is considerably bigger than the box for my other Lynx games. I'm not sure how many games came in those huge boxes.

[cr8zykuban0]

some nice stuff that came within the past week and the super fami bundle was from a local game store pickup for cheap and didnt pay anything for it due to store credit

[xcrement5x]

Are you making your own NES boxes or something?

[cr8zykuban0]

Are you making your own NES boxes or something?

nah, i bought these off of uncletusk.com he makes boxes and manuals for repo/homebrew games and also for offically released games that never originally came with a box

[jtucci31]

Some stuff I've bought over the last month or so. Syphic hooked me up with the Dragon Slayer (no map, so if anyone has a PCE/Turbo map they want to get rid of, pm me ). Then Null finally shipped this TGCD that I bought from him awhile ago. The shipping may have been slow, but well worth it. He even threw in the Bonk's Adventure box for me.

I now have the Turbo Trio (TGCD, Duo, TE). Maybe the LaserActive will be in my future someday. But so far I've been keeping plenty busy since my summer has started with the stuff I bought.

The Hori six button pad is definitely a nice pickup.

I have been interested in getting that 6 button controller.  I do have have the avenue pad 6, but wouldn't mind owning that one as a 2nd player for fighting games n such
