A road trip through South Dakota sounds like fun. I want to visit Wall Drug some day.

TheClash603 · 08/09/2012, 11:56 PM

I went to Wall Drug when it was supposed to be opened, and it closed early for no reason one day. Fuck that place.

I find that the game improves considerably if you change a lot of the in-game options.. sold it on ebay many moons ago

happen to remember how to change those options ?

No trip to Mitchell SD is complete without a trip to the http://www.cornpalace.org/.

Did you make it?
I went when I was a kid and used my allowance to buy an wooden pistol that shot elastic bands.
I shot my brother in the face with the first elastic and that was the end of that toy.
At least I bought Batman for Gameboy from Walgreens on that trip, it was probably a better choice.

I think it's somewhat uncommon, I think it's a bit like Earthbound, a lot of people want the game.

Mathius · 08/11/2012, 12:11 AM

I thought it was referencing The Last Starfighter also. I watched that movie almost every day while I was on summer vacation bitd.

Don't get too excited. It's not very good

I paid 20 for the lot. I had never seen it before either.
I assumed BM2 would be bad since the back of the box doesnt have any screenshots

Not bad at all! My son and I were playing a Ms Pacman arcade unit at a local restaurant last night. I've never played the Genesis version, but I've been tempted to pick it up a couple of times.

And Guardian Legend is the bees knees.

I don't know anything about the other games.

Mathius · 08/11/2012, 10:30 PM

The Genny Ms. Pacman has an annoying screen scroll when you move the Ms. around. Kinda takes away from the experience.

PunkCryborg · 08/11/2012, 10:55 PM

heavy nova is pure shit, they should have paid you to take it from them. Gaurdian Legend is sweet though so it makes up for it

Mishran · 08/11/2012, 10:57 PM

Got Return to Zork for the PC-FX in the mail today. Love me some Zork! Also purchased Cyber Lip and King of Fighters '96 MVS carts from a not so local game store. Cyber Lip is a great game and I never met a really good KOF game.

munchiaz · 08/12/2012, 12:06 AM

Picked up the lil sega and the ps1 thingy (for imports) at goodwill today. i also found an ikea chair that usually for $80 with the foot stool for $10.

If you play the PSX version, you will begin to appreciate the Genesis part 2 a little more.

I have the PSX Master Blaster! I was warned about it and still, after all these years, I am cringing from the thought of playing it again.

Another shipment like this and you'll be able to build a nice garden shed out of them.

PCEngineHell · 08/12/2012, 11:02 PM

I care about the X68000 stuff, as I find it very interesting, but the price of it all just turns me away. I just feel like there is a lot better things I could do with my money then spend 300 bucks on trying to get one set up, plus I don't see the diskettes lasting more then the next 10-20 years.

BlueBMW · 08/12/2012, 11:15 PM

Compact flash drives seem to be the best option for x68000 longevity.

PCEngineHell · 08/12/2012, 11:45 PM

Have they got compact flash drive support going for X68000 now? If so then that is cool. I'd love to have a set up with a ton of the arcade and action titles on it without worrying that my collection of diskette games is rotting on my shelf and soon to be dead.

BlueBMW · 08/13/2012, 12:40 AM

The CF setups arent cheap (a nice internal scsi to CF adapter is about $150)

SuperDeadite has some videos of his CF setup running multiple partions. Find his youtube page and check it out!

Samurai Ghost · 08/13/2012, 01:03 AM

Damn, build a house out of x68ks!

I picked up some more SMS stuff. SMS 4 lief!!!
Outrun 3D in particular is one I've been wanting to get for a long while.

SuperDeadite · 08/13/2012, 09:20 AM

Went to Kyoto and found some nice stuff, including FM Towns Hishousame (Flying Shark) which is amazing, cause Kyoto usually has jack-shit. The LP is "Suite Gradius Fantasia." It's a full orchestral arrangement of music from Gradius 1, 2, and 2 MSX. I don't really collect vinyl, but for $8 why not? Sounds awesome by the way.
