Do it!  It's dirt cheap these days.  It's a pretty good game, even with its misleading cover art. :lol

Got my wii console today used.  36 quid or 57 usd

Can't seem to download the wii shop system update.. getting that 32017 error message which is annoying as hell.

Also can't wait for the component cables to arrive from amazon and a few wii RPGs

Yeah those games are addictive! Necronomicon is my favorite so far. Music is also very badass, all of them have great music. That intro is extra cheesy, but make me lol everytime. :P

just paid for a pce controller and a diving board converter, now it's the waiting game.
not a big deal if it takes a while though, got it for a steal, the converter was about the price of a mod :D

Today, I FINALLY got a nice excellent-minty copy of Devil's CRASH (PCE version) CIB huey.  It took me forever to find out for sale at a reasonable price... too bad I already packed all my systems otherwise I would be busy pin-balling! :)

Really i think Popful Mail on the Sega-CD is the definite version of the game. As for the other games you mention i agree,hmmm i don't know if i'll ever get snatcher again that one is so pricey these days.

Nice find on the Lunars. I have those in my crosshairs right now, but I'm not paying eBay prices for them.

I just picked up skullkeep for sega cd and space harrier for SMS.

FiftyQuid

This arrived in the mail today.  I already have the game, but I needed the manual.  So instead of paying $20 for a manual I just bought the game again.  When it showed up I got what I consider a wonderful surprise.

/dscn7233w.jpg

Then I flipped it over...

/dscn7237g.jpg

I'm always worried about crap I buy online.  You never know what shape it's going to show up in.  Not only did the game work, and the manual look great, but I got a bonus case.  Now I just need a Super System 3.0 Card to fill it!  :)

I noticed this one is in French and English on the back.  Were all copies printed bilingual or is this a Canadian version?
I'm busy playing pinball, but I still drop by to visit.

looks like it's in a pc engine hu card case too

The entire case could be a US Super System Card case. I have a complete US SSC and my case is white inside with the little tabs to keep the HuSleeve in place.

That's what I'm thinking.  This one has the little tabs inside too.  The hu sleeve has two holes in it as well.

Whoah, was just thinking about that game back in the arcade days. Tons of "lost" quarters. How's the gameplay on this version?

Nice score on the rest of the jewel case

Joe Redifer

The US SSC3 sleeve has two holes in it and that is the actual case you have there (but without the front cover).  I could never get the holes to line up with the tabs.  The way my SSC3 came from the factory is with the long end of the sleeve (with the holes) tucked underneath the crevice to the left and the tabs just holding the right side in. So that's how I store all my HuCards that come in such cases.

VestCunt

Nice find, fifty. I'm pretty sure all NA 3.0 cards are bilingual.

Weird. Doing that really bunches the sleeve up. I've only bought two white-tray hucards new (ACD Duo and SF2) and they both came with the tabs in the holes, IIRC.

That's strange. I've never had that problem.  :-k

It actually works out pretty well, I find.  Here's some pics of how I do it:

case1.jpg
I have the long part of the sleeve on top and to the left.  I have all my HuCard sleeves oriented this way.

case2.jpg
The card inserted into the special case.  Long part gets tucked under in the left side.  It doesn't bunch up.  The right side goes under the tabs.

case3.jpg
One of the reasons I like this method is that it's really easy to insert and remove the card like shown with one or two fingers (if the thumb counts as a finger).  There's nothing forced either when it goes in or comes out (this is starting to sound sexay).  There's no holes to worry about lining up.  And the card is definitely not going to fall out of the case even if you shake it while it's open.  Though I imagine if you shook it hard enough it might come out.

EDIT:  I accidentally a word.

It sort of found me.  I've never seen a NA 3.0 card so I wasn't sure.  What do you guys in the USA say when you see french on the back?  I'm guessing something like, "What the hell is that doing on there?"  :D

[EDIT] @ Joe Redifer - That actually looks easier.  I would definitely use this method.

Idk about everyone else here in the US, But say 10 - 15 - 20 years ago, most items like electronics, other consumer goods, My family would buy would have english/french, now-a-days it's english/spanish, so when I see the french now I say WOW, this is old or WOW, look at this it's like the way NA stuff use to be.

I *believe* the Turbo items that contain French are Canadian releases.

I think I got a pretty good complete minus the cardboard box parasol stars:

At least its better than what I have been seeing them go... Might have to either raffle my loosey or sell it cheap.

Got me a Metal Slug 4 MVS kit in the mail today. I know people have talked down on the game, but I personally enjoy playing it. Can't beat the first 4(1,2,3,X) gameplay wise, but it has some good qualities. I have no complaints.

Not all great deals but decent.

Already planning on picking up a Freddy Glove cause them made them cheap in the machine and the blades break off easily. Figured I would buy one and get it reworked with metal blades so they won crack or break off.

he can probably use a US TG16 power adapter....  the 220v transformer in the power supply with that unit probably outputs the same 9v DC as the US adapter.
