Dug a Hori Berretta out of Hardoff for 1,000yen today. Guncon clone, full metal, weighs about 3lbs. Best lightgun I've ever used.

All metal you say.

[esadajr]

That's a great score, looks amazing and with pedal for easy reload.

[LostFlunky]

Got this,

So. Wait. It's?  What?


Is it a way of modding for component in a PCE? 

That looks like the RGB version - there is a component version as well - which I have just ordered to try out...

The HD Retrovision folks were saying that this is "a poorly designed ripoff" of the product offered by db-electronics. And that this has the capacitors on backwards. "Video signal quality would be compromised and eventually those capacitors will fail."

I believe the seller of these is also a member here. I wonder what he has to say about this?

I wonder if they mean the caps are in the wrong spots, because if they are on backwards (reversed) they would likely explode within a short time of powering up...

I ordered a TGCD gear from this seller too - a year or two ago and it was good (along with several orders or hucards over the years)... I'll reserve judgement until I receive mine in the mail.

As far as I am concerned, this is Better than Beretta.

+5 points if you catch the reference.

$10 for the Xbox game sounds like a good deal. And all the other stuff.

games and bag were 3 each.   stickers were $1

[Medic_wheat]

I'll I've you $3 for that outrun game.

[LostFlunky]

The Outrun game is pretty fun.  Seems to be a bit on the sought after side as well...

[Gypsy]

That poor BMP. 

[Gypsy]

Fortunately I don't really need it from what I can tell. Figured it was a cool thing to have though and I acquired it via teh trades along with a controller and a mouse (which are both in perfect working order).

Really digging the system so far and the look and feel of the games I've played. Going to look for some more translated games as well as easy to play titles.

[Dicer]

My $2 copy of Flash Hiders came in, can't beat that...

[Gypsy]

Nice Dicer.

I just got some gud shit in myself. Including Castlevania Chronicles (the sharp remake of the first game ported to PS1) which is one of the few in the series I have never played.

Pro-Tip: Hold L1, R1, Start and Select when choosing a game mode to enable sound select mode. You can choose between FM synth and two MIDI options. They are all worth a listen but I feel the FM synth is the most "Castlevania Sounding" of the three. Be sure to hold those buttons down until the sound select screen loads.

[Medic_wheat]

I downloaded chronicles. I can tbelige the game jumped in price so much.

Awesome thanks.

Right now I'm working on SF III and replaying Banjo Kazooie but I think CC will be the next game I play.

Is the FM Synth the exact same as the vanilla X68k?

Nothing like the 4 hit rule.

The FM/MIDI music isn't emulated, it's recorded off the real thing.  It does suffer a bit from compression, but most people won't know the difference.  Now the game itself though is a recreation, not a proper port of the original code.  Meaning some of the hitboxes are off from the original, making it harder then it was meant to be.  The lowered resolution doesn't help either (PS1 is 15khz, real deal runs in 31khz).  If you are used to the real deal, this port is meh, but if you aren't it's a good effort.  And when it was new it retailed for only $9.99 so hard to complain...

Original version had a few extra features like the hidden 4th Music Option (General MIDI), but they are rather minor.  There is even a fan patch that adds stereoscopic 3D (LCD shutters like MasterSystem/Famicom) support to the game, which is damn cool looking if you have the required setup to run it.

[Sparky]

Ya not game related but picked these up at comicon on Friday.
Been a long while since I bought action figures, and retro ones I don't have. About $10 each and check out the rope on Indy! :O

[roflmao]

I haven't picked up anything gaming related in awhile, but came across this for about $8 and couldn't say no.

I haven't played this in ages. I sold my U.S. copy probably 2 decades ago. It's still pretty fun! I was surprised that there's even a widescreen mode in the Options menu, though the HUD and cut-scenes are stretched.



I guess I've been on a Ghost in the Shell kick lately because I have the Laserdisc arriving shortly as well. Maybe it's because the movie is coming out soon. I know some of you are probably groaning, but I can't wait to see how it turns out. They posted the first 5 minutes today and it's straight out of the anime:

[Gypsy]

Stopped by some thrifts today.

$1 each God of War II (had a memory card in the case even), Onimusha Warlords, Onimusha 2, Onimusha 3.

Nothing amazing there, but I haven't played the Onimusha games in ages so what the hell. Mainly grabbed God of War II for the memory card.

Some huge ass retarded Tom Clancy Rainbow Six CE thing (6 games in it and a huge guide) for $10. One of my brothers is big on Clancy, so this will be a nice gift. Didn't bother to look at value online, but I figure this fucker can't even ship for $10.

Some wireless headphones I will probably gift for a dollar.

Nice! I have a friend who worked on the first God of War and I worked on Rainbow Six: Lockdown (a low point in the title's career).

[Gypsy]

Ah cool.

I don't think I've played a TC branded game since Rogue Spear. I pretty much quit playing most US shooters after really getting into Japanese games. Though I did quite like Halo.

Turns out the headphones are worth a little bit (looked into it when my friend was surprised I was gifting them to him).

[bartre]

LetGo was nice to me today.
snagged myself a boxed 60GB PS3 + a handful of good games and a copy of american psycho on blu ray.
total cost? $75

[esadajr]

Bubble gum



The Snoopy game, I already had for Wii U, but I don't like kids playing with the tablet, also it is quite frustrating to play as Woodstock using the Wii remote. Game screams for real controllers.

man, i really enjoyed the splatterhouse release on ps3

[Medic_wheat]

As did I. I feel the new splatterhouse is underrated. Now only is the new game fun it included the previous three games a great arcade port and two genesis exclusives. Even if you don't like the new game you can always enjoy the previous two. Win to the win.

Ok - so I received it last night - the version with Component, Composite and RGB... I was unable to get component working.. just a flickering picture on a CRT which accepts component and nothing at all on an LCD...

I will try again tonight, but it isn't looking good...

[Gypsy]

Got a fun package the other day. Was from someone I have traded with a fair bit in the past, looking to get rid of extra stuff. I paid $100 without knowing what the exact contents would be but with the assurance that I would be happy or I could send it all back at his cost. Ended up being quite pleased...

Dragon Force (loose)
Thunder Force V Special Package (complete)
Lunar SSSC guide (great shape)
Wing Commander IV
Cyber Core (complete)
Doraemon Meikyu Daisakusen (complete)
Namco Museum 3
A bunch of dvds mostly newer movies but also some random anime discs just a huge stack (50+ movies) so not worth listing them out by name.

Recent Sega pick ups:

[Gypsy]

Recently had a nice CIB Core Grafx arrive. Came with Galaga 88 and Tiger Road (Japanese version). It was $90 shipping included which I feel isn't terrible.

[sirhcman]

chany how is Line of Fire? I still need that one!

[chany60126]

chany how is Line of Fire? I still need that one!

It is a fun game! It reminds me of Jackal on the NES, but it is vertically auto-scrolling so it also feels like a shoot em up. The best part about the game is that it has a hidden 3D mode. You get a nice sense of depth as walls rise high, trees loom, and canyon appear to be pretty deep. I highly recommend it if you have the glasses!!

Not a bad price at all!  Tiger Road is pretty fun in my opinion.

[Gypsy]

Got some dirt cheap consoles this weekend, including a SNES that was broken. CIB PS2 that's actually in really good shape though as well.

Oh did have a cheap but nice package arrive as well. Had Super Bomberman 2, Super Mario Collection and Chou Genjin SFC carts. Crazy what the US carts of these go for when the Japanese carts are soooo cheap.

[cr8zykuban0]

Nice dicer! Ive been meaning to pick up download 2 remastered, they made the music sound much better!

[Flare65]

Where are these remasters coming from?  Are they just copies of the original game or have them been changed in any way?

Didnt think Download 2 was that rare to begin with....

[cr8zykuban0]

picked up a few games a couple of weeks ago.



Had to make my own insert for the 20 in 1 master system cart. Apparently it came bundle with the master system 3 in brazil.
The game selection screen is kinda werid. its just game 1 through 20, there are no titles, you choose your game and from there you have one minute to get any many points as you can, depending on what game you play. If you meet the required score within the minute, you continue playing, if you dont meet the required score, you are taking back to the game menu. Very obscure game. im thinking to do a review on it since theres not much info at all about this game.

[Gypsy]

Very nice 360 shootuns. Mushi is still my favourite but those others are nice as well. Eschatos has Judgement Silversword on it if you didn't already know.

What are the 20 games?  I'd love to give this a try, where did you pick it up?

[cr8zykuban0]

@gypsy-hella good shmups indeed. Yeah, its awesome that eschatos comes with judgement silversword which is crazy how pricy that game is.

@theclash603- they are just some random ass games. I picked it up at cjameslv's store for 20 bucks. Figure its worth checking out and reviewing

[esadajr]

And they're region free

All of those should play fine on a NA NTSC 360
