The “What-Did-You-Buy-Today?” Thread

[grache]

Back 10-25 years and they were very common here back then.

I know virtually all TVs in Europe were SCART, but I thought, at least in Spain, that most only did composite?

[roflmao]

Between Christmas gifts and some money I got from Christmas, this past month has been pretty good to me.  Here are my recent adds:

PS1
Chrono Cross

PS2
Raiden III

Gamecube
Animal Crossing

NES
High Speed
Pinball
Sky Shark

GBA
Gradius Galaxies
Iridion 3D
Iridion II

PCE
Battle Lode Runner

DVD
Ys Book II

I've also got a few goodies coming from Beemer, but I'll post those when they arrive.  Or I'll forget.

Cho Aniki 64?

[dingsbums]

Obey 



No obey  . Finally bought a (Japan) N64 since I want Bangai - Oh again  .

[MrFulci]

I never cared for the N64, but I did like this image, comparing it to spinning disc systems.

nah its virtual pro wrestling 2 odo keisho aka wrestlemania 2000

[EvilEvoIX]

Very True.  The older consoles simply last, my NES, MD, SNES, Colecovision, Atari 2600, LYNX, Gameboy, all work.  Game Gears are finicky but work with new caps.  I think the 360 had over a 25% failure rate which is the worst ever I believe.  I think the PS3 was 10% but easily over shadowed by the XBOX.


How are the Wii Consoles in terms of reliability?

[wildfruit]

My wii and launch day Dreamcast still work perfectly

My parents once literally dropped a tv on my 64 as a child.
Didn't even crack the plastic.
The tv however developed this discoloration in the upper corner...

I keep reading the Sega Nomads and GameGear LCDs puke out after these years (reason is I've been looking to pick one up and get the SMS adapter so I can relive some of my SMS gaming days!)... so I guess with exception of those 2 systems' LCDs, agreeing the oldies are the best!

Big Van Vader is so awesome lol. You should check out the All Japan Pro Giant Gram games also.

Lost: "GG 2000: All Japan Pro Wrestling 3 Vader and Hansen tag team play through"

They were ported to Saturn and DC. Tons of fun.

My PS4 lasted about a month before failing. Shipping it for service next week.

I broke down & ordered Eternal City a few days ago...I hope it's good enough to hold my attention for a bit, as I've been groping for a PCE game for to actually put some time into, instead of just arcade titles.  Whenever db_Electronics has the Turbo PC Henshin back in stock, I'm hoping to then get Neutopia, Dungeon Explorer...any other English-friendly turbo games? ;)

[JapanTokei]

I haven't heard of this game ..  Is it for PCe?  How is it? 

I got no time for games these days, but just wanted to mention I saw a sick game at Yamada denki ( think massive bestbuy during bestbuy's heydays). Its  ps4 game where youbplay young Yakuza guy during the go-go $$$ days on the 80s Japan.  Liked insanely good with storyline too..  Any one of you having played that?   What is it called ?    Tats: maybe you know?

Tokie, if you don't start having more time for your games a "you" from the past is going to materialize in front of you and kick your ass.

[cr8zykuban0]

recent pickups from my local game store, retro city.

[JapanTokei]

Matti!!!!

There is no comeback I can to that..  Lol.. Truth hurts best from your friends ..  Hahha

For what it's worth I did buy Phantasy Star 1 for SMS and plan tobplay that again sometime soon since my 12 year old days. . hopefully my past doesnt appear before me by then or my are will be aching for sure.  Haha

Yup, it's a PCE Hucard.  I've never played it.  I've heard it's not very good, but it's got a bunch of interesting elements (mechs, exploration, side-scrolling action) that I'm hoping will make it an enjoyable experience despite it's supposed flaws (repetitive backgrounds, bland graphics, crap controls).

There's a thread about it not too far back in the PCE section if you're interested.

[EDIT] On another note, I just ordered one of db_Electronic's universal region convertors & am actually even more aroused than I thought I'd be.  I can't wait to finally play all four of my turbo games (Bonk's Excellent Adventure, Silent D. Buggers, Cadash, Sidearms) on the big screen...got a total Bonk boner, ya know?

[Opethian]

thanks elabits (also got a sokoban world!)

Wow, that Saturn Setup is the best!!!  True 60FPS as well and the wheel!  I could sit there for hours playing that!

[vmorr]

Local buy today. Not exactly a bargain but can't recall ever coming across another one. Just want Knuckles' Chaotix and that's probably all I'll buy for this thing.

32x?  Get Kolibri... you must get Kolibri....

[HailingTheThings]

^ Yes, also check out Tempo.

Also, I bought a new TV, a bigger Panasonic Tau in black, has all the cute things I needed, also has composite/S-Video in the front. Yay. Here is a shitty picture:



Also, it has really come to my attention that the picture projecting from my Duo-R is off to the left more than it should be on most every game I play. Some games it looks pretty bad. I think doujindance did something else wrong on the mod besides the s-video as it only does this when using the RGB. eff.

[MrFlutterPie]

I bought a stupid ass Xbox 360 wireless adapter because my 360 is the crappy ancient original model. 

[jeffhlewis]

Am I reading that right? 540 yen each for FF2 and Riding Hero? Damn.

Nothing wrong with your mod.  RGB tends to favor one side of the screen for some reason.  When going RGB adjusting the monitor is quite normal.

And yes jeff, FF2 and Riding Hero are worthless over here.  You can find boxes full of FF2 in some stores.

[cr8zykuban0]

a few finds from this week!

[vmorr]

32x?  Get Kolibri... you must get Kolibri....

Appreciate the suggestions. I'll keep an eye out, they both look interesting. Pretty much just assumed all games on the 32x were crap lol

[JapanTokei]

Deadite is the RGB master and seems to know everything about it   
I just bought a SCART TV from europe (will pick it up in the US), so I can finally try out my RGB moded Duo-RX after all these years!!  ETA March is when I can finally do that.... lol

Good to know, thank you very much. Would a proper component mod have her favor* both sides equally?

When I first got a 32x at a young age I thought that as well. It wasn't until much, much later that I realized the 32x had at least, oh I don't know, five good games, depending on who you ask, of course.
