But there are no holes! it must be fake!

that's because it is a gruyere, it has no holes and basically also never had

that what you mean is an emmentaler

guyjin · 12/10/2008, 09:07 AM

I thought all cheese from switzerland had to have holes. Even Velveeta.

Yesterday i found Zelda Twilight of the Princess for GC new for $11. I figured the price was right up my ally.

Pics posted soon; My camera is junk.

So it was YOU that outbid me! =)

lol..never heard about velveeta, but it seems to be made by a swiss immigrant in new york^^. not every cheese has to have holes. it depends on the procedure the cheese went through.

it would seem that he linked to something that the host did not appreciate.

Strangely enough, I think I've seen that happen before on here. haha. That host has some mean retaliation!

Yea,I saw this last nite,and was like,wtf Tats lol. Too late now Tats, Teh secret you been hiding slipped out, no point in changing the link now.

guyjin · 12/11/2008, 09:10 AM

noone needs to see that, damnit!

(and if someone wants to see that, they should look for it elsewhere...)

PCEngineHell · 12/11/2008, 09:28 AM

Its actually pretty funny. Just out of nowhere in this thread, you see Tats list some awesome ass stuff he got, and a nice big pic of man on man action. Will certainly wake you up in the morning.

Wait, what...wait..waitwhat, wait a minute, what!!

It kinda looks like the controller still has the protective plastic film cover.

drboom · 12/13/2008, 09:00 AM

Um...how? Did you beat someone up and take it from them, then throw $30 on their still bleeding body?

guyjin · 12/13/2008, 11:56 AM

Joe Redifer · 12/13/2008, 02:04 PM

I would have bartered them down to $15, at least.

Tablet · 12/13/2008, 03:48 PM

Seems like a day of bargains, I got this SCD off ebay, it was being sold as spares as it was 'faulty'. but when I plugged it in it worked like a dream. Boxed plus an extra of 10 games that wren't listed in the auction all for £47 shipped

I am one happy bunny

That's an amazing deal! Gratz man!

Zeon · 12/13/2008, 10:16 PM

Got all this for $60, and in case you are wondering, a lot of it was free:

haha... yeah that would wake you up or sober ya up... fast!!!

ok a pict of some goodies i got in the mail this week me friends....

Very happy about the official saturn light gun and having a soft spot for Ridge Racer, namco's official controller... oh yaaaa!:D
Also check out the closeup on that SMS controller... i never knew they made one of these versions... very cool and was freebe the guy throw in

Joe Redifer · 12/14/2008, 11:39 AM

Yeah, I love those Sega controllers. The joystick unscrews out and is replaced by a little rubber button thingy.

How, exactly, does the Ne-G-con controller work? I can't imagine that twisting it one way or the other is a very intuitive way to steer. With Ridge Racer, you'll be bouncing off of the walls no matter what.

bust3dstr8 · 12/14/2008, 12:13 PM

I believe the twist controls gas and brake.

Duo_R · 12/14/2008, 03:01 PM

how much was the Saturn Gun Sparks?

Sparky · 12/14/2008, 08:12 PM

Joe Redifer & Bust3dstr8 ---> one side of the twist controls works the gas and brake the other side the steering from my understanding, but when i get a chance to try it I will let you guys know what i tink....it is so freak'n different it was a must have!!

Duo_R---> well i got all the stuff as a lot for $60 (can) and that was with shipping

so probably $10ish

EDIT: One of the main reasons I got it was to be able to play Atari games in component without some crazy mod (if that's even possible). Lulz.

hoobs88 · 12/18/2008, 10:15 AM

I saw this system at "Game Crazy" about a year ago and thought it was just a generic NES but I recently discovered some things about it that convinced me to purchase one: It plays both American (NES) and Japanese (Famicom) Nintendo cartridges. It has composite RCA cables rather than RF. Wireless controllers are available for it. The instruction manual was designed to look like a NES cartridge and even has a dust jacket! The back of the manual has the Digital Press rarity guide with complete list of NES and Famicom games.

NecroPhile · 12/18/2008, 10:26 AM

Those Gen Nex clones are pretty sexy, especially with the wireless controllers (too bad they don't make 'em for the Turbo). There's always a catch though, and with these it's that they don't work with Castlevania III or Guantlet (among others that nobody cares about).

guyjin · 12/18/2008, 12:22 PM

Actually, I found the wireless NEX controllers somewhat hard to use. it's fine for things like platformers where you're pressing one direction most of the time, but for games where you tap the D-pad a lot (puzzle games, shmups) it doesn't seem to respond immediately. I much prefer the wired one that comes with it; it's very handy for games like Metroid or Zelda where you push select and start a lot.

Oh man, how cool would it be if there was a Generation NEC? .....I'll answer that - VERY COOL!

...I'm just imagining what it would look like.

I'd design it about as small as the PCE, but with a built-in CDROM2 Arcade. It would also have to be compatible with the Supergrafx. I guess RGB/SVid/Component would have to be standard as well.

The perfect all-in-one unit. I seriously want one. Who's up to the task?

guyjin · 12/18/2008, 04:51 PM

...you forgot 'and since they're so closely related anyway, make it Famicom/NES compatible, too!'

NecroPhile · 12/19/2008, 10:42 AM

From Rising Stuff: Brandish, Galaxy Fraulein Yuna (reprint with HuVideo disc), Kabuki Itouryodan, Avenue Pad 6, and a pair of wireless controllers. Everything was nicely packaged and in darn good condition; in fact, Kabuki Itouryodan and one of the wireless controllers was brand new. Thanks, Sensei.
