True Fact:  Alone in the Dark 2 is my friend's favorite video game of all time.

True Fact #2:  I laugh at him for that.

Probably more fun then 3D Austrailia though

Australia in 3D > One Eye Jack.

Come to think of it, One Eye Jack can't even see 3D due to the lack of his one eye.

Gotta love slow boat packages from Japan:

Already fixed the power supply on the 68k, not sure on the floppy drives yet though.

Oh, sweet!
Wait...was Air Combat an LD-title, or is that just the soundtrack or something?

[BlueBMW]

Just a movie.  But game related LDs are always cool to nab.

Whelp, can't disagree with that.
So what's it like? Does it contain any gameplay, like a demo, or are there "behind the scenes"-stuff or...?
Seems interesting : )

And the Sega genesis, CD, 32X my cousin sent me came last weekend.

[liquitek]

Picked up a Retrode a couple weeks ago at the Vancouver Retro Gaming Expo.
Technically it's a Retrode 2 I guess...
It lets you plug SNES % Genny games into your computer/smartphone/tablet
More info here: http://retrode.com/
Love it.

Would like to see a PC Engine & TG16 adapter.  Apparently one could be made to use in the SNES port.

[liquitek]

Made a couple other misc pickups at the Expo too...
nothing to make your eyes pop out, well maybe WCW/NWO World Tour.  No?  ok then.

I had to leave the show just as the 1-on-1 N64 Goldeneye tournament was about to start.  /sigh
Can only leave the family at the aquarium for so long.  At some point it becomes neglect or something...
Also meant I missed the drunk Tetris tournament that night too...

OMG. Splatterhouse 2 i need that gimme gimme gimme. Seriously tho. if you want to sell it let me know

[Samurai Ghost]

Yeah, Splatterhouse 2 is an awesome title! Had to wait around a while to find a decent price on it for the JP Mega Drive. There are some other great games in there as well, like Phantasy Star II, Castlevania Bloodlines, and the 32X version of Night Trap! 

Got a ton of stuff heading to me in the mail at the moment but here are a few recent pick-ups. Been collecting Games Express games these days for some reason... Also got a couple cool little guidebooks for some RPGs/SRPGs with full color maps, etc. The Toilet Kids is practically brand new, and I had to settle for a loose Cloud Master as I can't find a complete copy at the moment...

Lol thanks but ill be holding onto that game. But if I do ever decide to sell it your on my top buyer list. I know a used record store is selling a copy for $25 or $30 with case no manuel tho.

Yea I noticed she sent me the original Night Trap and the 32X one. When I opened the box I wasn't expecting all those awesome games. I called her and asked if she wanted any money. She said no I know u collect games and figured you would want them. I'm still blown away I told her you could eBay this and get a good chunk of money. Gotta love family.

Image of the ProtoCard menu on my 61" TV. Ahh, don't mind me or the semi dirty living room. Stupid reflection...
/img0274ov.jpg

[Arkhan Asylum]

BAM!

etc.

man that insert cracks me up

[OldMan]

We thank you *Greatly* for your support. We're just sorry the games on the first cards are so.....unfinished.

For those who want to know, all of that money is going towards getting the boards professionally made and buying tsop chips, so the next batch will be thinner. And possibly prettier

Again we thank everyone for their support. It wouldn't be possible without it.

[Arkhan Asylum]

Hey, all of thats already on the insert for the cards....

  lol

Aw yeah!  Mine arrived today as well.  I'ma bout to go give it a spin!  Thanks!  This is so awesome.



I also recently picked up a couple physical games, a dice game (Catan) and another co-op strategy game (LOTR).  Both have been a lot of fun so far.  The GBA game is Pinball of the Dead.

[Arkhan Asylum]

Hah that LOTR game is fun.

Though its Fantasy flight, and theyre always a toss up.

[Mathius]

Man what do I have to do to get me one of those homemade Hu's?

[roflmao]

Hah that LOTR game is fun.

Though its Fantasy flight, and theyre always a toss up.

The only other Fantasy Flight game I've played is War of the Ring and, honestly, I haven't completed a game yet, and I've started two or three games.  It so complex.    But it came with so many cool minis.

This new one's much more manageable.  I've only played it once so far, and lost, but it was tense!  It'll get played again soon.

Ok, now I'm really off to play the Protocade!

[Mishran]

BTW Ark, what is up with the torn piece of paper with the letter on it? roflmoa has on with a "P" on it in the pic and mine says "Y"? Any importance to them? I nearly tossed mine, but figured I find out first.

[Arkhan Asylum]

Fantasy Flight REALLY likes including lots of plastic with their games.


Also, I dunno what those ripped up letters are.....

....I didn't put them there.


Maybe Keith Courage did.

How is the Catan Dice game? havent played a normal game of catan in a few years. Does the dice game play as well as normal catan?

[roflmao]

How is the Catan Dice game? havent played a normal game of catan in a few years. Does the dice game play as well as normal catan?

It's like a cross between Catan and Yahtzee.  You roll 6 dice and use the resources that are rolled to build roads, settlements and cities.  You earn victory points for settlements and cities as well as having the longest road and having the largest army.  So in those respects it's pretty faithful to the original game.  However there is no trading between players, and there is no thief.  The good thing is it can be played with only 2 players (as opposed to 4) and it's also fun to play solitaire.  

The game also comes with 2 rule variants.  The second variant is a little more strategic (and maybe a little more challenging to learn), but I think it captures the essence of the original game better.

Also, the games only take about 20-30 minutes to play, which is nice.

I found it at a nearby Books A Million for $15.  I'd recommend it if you're looking for something that's rules and strategy light and plays quick.

PS - On an unrelated note, I am also curious as to why the Protocade card came with a letter "P".

Hey Liquitek, I'm here in Burnaby...but I never heard about this Retro Game Expo???! Where did they hold it? I'm probably going to the Fan Expo at the Convention Centre at the end of the month, which seems to be a convention for Gamers, TV/Movie/Anime fans, and a little for Comicbook fans.
