You could always waste some time and a magic marker

I was fully expecting to lose this auction a few seconds before it ended, but nobody else ended up bidding. Button-mashing fun arriving at my door (in like 3 weeks from now...).

JoshTurboTrollX · 10/06/2011, 02:15 PM

UglyJoe, that controller for the Hyper Sports/Olympics games is AWESOME! The spring loaded buttons are the best for that kind of game ever made. I pull that controller out every now and then, it's a ton of fun.

Opethian · 10/08/2011, 08:31 PM

Cant find any info on these games? Anyone have a clue

munchiaz · 10/08/2011, 09:30 PM

My brother just moved down from buffalo NY to Arizona and brought me some of my old collection, and i also bought some stuff from him.

nectarsis · 10/08/2011, 10:10 PM

Thanks for the sale heads up, probably just snagged it in time (Sunday 3:27 AM). Was going to wait because I am a little behind on my new games, but at that price, it can sit on my shelf for a little bit.

Sale started Sunday as far as I can tell. It is still on sale and will most likely run till Sat before the next Sunday Ad. Nice haul Blue!

Wow, what a haul!

I was just watching a review of Sylphia by TheGreenMonkeyKing (The same guy that runs retrogamecave.com) - it looks like a pretty unique shooter.

BlueBMW · 10/13/2011, 09:30 PM

Its not a bad shooter at all really. Though its hard to say if it justifies its high price tag or not...

Opethian · 10/13/2011, 10:04 PM

its pretty easy on normal difficulty. and its Tonkin Haus!

Bernie · 10/14/2011, 11:15 AM

Not console related, but just as exciting. Bought my lovely wife a new Nikon camera.

Hehe, yeah he could probably give me the beatdown for sure

Sorry bernie, dont pound me!

Mishran · 10/14/2011, 10:36 PM

He might look tough, but he's probably just a big teddy bear at heart...

JapanTokei · 10/15/2011, 12:40 PM

Beamer - I sent that huge lot via Parcel post on the same day... should reach you in a few more days if haven't already. I just got back... damn long flight that had me connect thru Moscow!! good to be home.

I'll upload pics later - but I got DE2, Bloody Wolf, Cadash from Beam, and US Cotton from Hoobs !!

BlueBMW · 10/15/2011, 12:53 PM

Looong flight! Hopefully it was a good time for you visiting the states!

chany60126 · 10/15/2011, 04:32 PM

Metal Slug X!! I played the heck out of that game on the PS1. It is a great port and I love the combat school mode.

JapanTokei · 10/15/2011, 04:41 PM

Madou Monogatari on Saturn? how is that? OPE you are addicted to Madou aren't you!

munchiaz · 10/15/2011, 04:45 PM

Some stuff i picked up recently. Thanks to keith courage for the R-types.

Opethian · 10/15/2011, 04:56 PM

Tokei is rocks! its actually a turnbase RPG rather than a dungeon crawler its pretty rad!!

Lilgrafx · 10/16/2011, 11:36 AM

Went to a local game store and picked up some games

32X(All boxed): World Series Baseball, Space Harrier, Virtua Racing, and Zaxxon Motherbase 2000.

NES: Kirby's Adventure and Karnov

SNES: Mr. Do and Mr. Nutz

BlueBMW · 10/16/2011, 11:39 AM

Isnt 32X world series baseball kind of a pricey title complete? I seem to remember that it and spiderman were the two expensive US 32X titles.

Damaramu · 10/16/2011, 08:53 PM

Posted this on a couple of other game-centric forums a few days ago:

Today, I picked up a minty non-TMSS High Definition Graphics Genesis for $14.99 at a local shop.

This baby looked like it came straight out of the box with nary a scrape or scratch. The power button has a nice solid click when you power it on and the volume slider is nice and firm (no button wiggle).

PunkCryborg · 10/16/2011, 11:05 PM

Cool Bangai-O Spirits!
Damaramu that sega looks great but why do people want the non TMSS model? what difference does it make seeing the little warning screen or whatever it is?

PunkCryborg · 10/16/2011, 11:07 PM

My dirt mall (flea market) pick ups today
/photo9wa.jpg

The Galaxian works great too and is surprisingly fun!
Played some Faceball with my friend tonight, it's ok but I wanna try out the PCE version.

Mathius · 10/16/2011, 11:30 PM

The soundchip on the first generation model 1 Genesis has superior sound quality compared to the other models.

Tatsujin · 10/17/2011, 12:04 AM

lol read the comments.

Mathius · 10/17/2011, 12:22 AM

Model 1 is the better sounding IMO. Here is MN12BIRD's video that offers more info.

I am not sure how some of those YTers commenting on the first vid can argue that the model 2 is better. I understand what they are saying, but hearing both samples the model 1 sounds much clearer.

Joe Redifer · 10/17/2011, 12:44 AM

Youtubers just like to troll. Experience with the subject of discussion is not necessary. They also are over-dramatic about everything. I learned this a few days ago when someone accused us for "fucking up" by not including the shitty Vectorman games in our run and gun video.
