Quote from: Joe Redifer on 12/24/2011, 06:30 PMAwesome! Except Phalanx. If it's anything like the SNES version it is a tedious lesson in mediocrity.

As a shooter it's rather sucky. But the original version here has some pretty kickass FM music though.
It was also very cheap.

Samurai Ghost - Summer Carnival '93 is a good pick up! Why 2 Dungeons and Dragons? One for me?

Well I bought one for myself and later saw another for a good price. The game seems to be in pretty high demand so I figured I could sell/trade it later! Just finished playing a round of Tower of Doom actually. What an awesome game! One of my all time favorite beat'm ups.

munchiaz · 12/25/2011, 01:12 AM

^ what a great haul samurai. i want that D&D and the spinecard for drac x

Tatsujin · 12/25/2011, 10:08 AM

Minestorm is awesome, great gift!

My only gaming gifts were Rayman Origins PS3 and a 3DS points card, both are good though!

munchiaz · 12/25/2011, 04:53 PM

heres what i got from my girlfriend and her family for xmas. I'm not sure if i will open the wii. I most likely will though, and keep my white one in the living room, and have the blue one in my soon to be gamer room.

Ji-L87 · 12/25/2011, 07:21 PM

^ That blue Wii reminds me of this :p

Nice Vectrex!! How is your impressions of it so far? I'm planning to buy one down the line and I'd like to hear your opinion as I've never actually seen one in person.

blueraven · 12/25/2011, 09:04 PM

This is so badass.

It's very cool but the loose games are kinda unplayable without overlays. I just bought a new homebrew game called "I Cyborg" that looks cool. I'm gonna play it tonight with the lights off with some space music playing!

Ah, overlays! Yeah, it seems a little tougher to find complete games with overlays but I guess I'll have to splurge on a few. What games are the most fun to play for you so far?

merry xmas fellas! fatherhood is making me go MIA every few weeks so I haven't been on for a while. looks like everyone got there secret santas... makes me wish I am still living in the States!

here are some of the goodies that finally came in from Japan: /xmas1.jpg

Nexzr is unnnn-believably good. I was blown away. love this game. worth every single penny I paid for it

/xmas2.jpg

and here are the illegitimate famous titles - High Leg Fantasy and Quiz Toku Shashin ... both super minty it adds to the sexiness of the girls

/xmas3.jpg

Batman & Jackie!!

/xmas4.jpg

That TG-16 version of Jacky came courtesy of BlueBeams!! thanks Blue! it arrived in Singapore no problem

Too bad that Jackie I got had the few scribble writings on the back cover, otherwise it is a perfect copy, registration card and all!

I picked up some duplicates/trade fodder as well and will be sorting through them soon. I will make a trip back to the US in January so I will be posting them on the boards in a few days!!

later guys -
Tokei

got another saturn at goodwill. this time its not covered in piss. Got the casltevanias from someone on nintendoage.

Deletion · 12/26/2011, 09:21 PM

What's the make & model of those arcade sticks for the Saturn? What do you think of them?

munchiaz · 12/26/2011, 09:42 PM

There made from interact. I think they suck. But i have really high standards when it comes to arcade sticks. I play fighting games competitively, and usually will only play using Sanwa parts (authentic japanese arcade parts, buttons, and the arcade stick.)

Deletion · 12/27/2011, 12:22 AM

Ah, they're the Interact Eclipse Stick. Thanks for the info. And I hear ya. My friends who are into fighting games are also heavily into modding sticks.

I'm horrible at fighting games, so I use sticks for shoot'em-ups, beat'em-ups, and run & gun games. I finally ordered Sega's Virtua Stick for the Saturn. I hope it works well.

New Electric Guitar strings (I haven't touched my Electric Guitar since I bought an Acoustic Guitar).

Zelda Limited Edition Nintendo 3DS system with Super Mario 3D Land, Mario Kart 7, Ocarina of Time 3D, and leather carry case.

Nice collection of stuff there, Nectarsis! I got the Flynn Cycle for my son and it broke within a week or two.

Meanwhile my orange Tron cycle from a million years ago is still going strong. They just don't make toys like they used to.

BlueBMW · 12/28/2011, 09:15 PM

Like you other two, I picked up that Zelda limited 3DS. Just couldnt resist!
