Joe Redifer · 05/21/2011, 07:50 PM

Picked this up from a local game shop for $10:

No spine card. I know, I know... why even bother if it doesn't have the spine card? I mean, that's what gaming is all about! Anyway, that's why it was so cheap, no spine card. Now I just need to get a hold of Xanadu 2.

JoshTurboTrollX · 05/21/2011, 09:17 PM

your local game shop rules joe.

Joe Redifer · 05/22/2011, 12:02 AM

It does. Too bad it is in Boulder (about a 40 minute drive or so). They also had Metal Slug 4 for $285 I think (AES). They also had Metal Slug 5 but I think that was $385. Can't remember. Matrimelee and Rage of the Dragons were there I think as well.

Now I need a tutorial or FAQ for Xanadu because it is completely unplayable if you don't know the language. I mean you can wander around and stuff, but I keep buying weapons that are apparently less powerful than the ones being sold at lower prices, I cannot advance, I cannot sleep at an inn, the day lasts like 45 seconds before everyone goes to bed and I do not understand the differences between the colors of memory. So far the game kinda sucks my anus hole.

Wish I had a store like that out here in the great corn field.

Joe Redifer · 05/22/2011, 12:48 AM

I really don't understand why they don't.

BlueBMW · 05/22/2011, 08:10 AM

Ahh you're in Denver aren't you Joe..
My old romping grounds. I used to make a game store run each weekend. There were so many good ones around. Not sure how it is anymore though.

Bernie · 05/22/2011, 04:47 PM

Purchased a modded Duo-R along with a ton of CD and Hu-card games. Got it from D-Lite. He added some pretty violet LED lights for power on, RCA jacks in the rear, and a region mod. Plus whatever else he does to em to service them. Bought a shitload of games from him to go with the package. I will post pics once it arrives. I am pretty stoked about this one. Gonna set it up right next to my PC Engine Duo.

Joe Redifer · 05/22/2011, 05:17 PM

BlueBMW... there sure used to be. Not sure how long it has been since you lived 'round these parts but it has gone downhill with all of the new Gamestops and whatnot.

blueraven · 05/22/2011, 07:07 PM

Joe, you just did something massively cool. You picked up arguably the best RPG for the system.

And it was a local catch. I'm impressed.

Joe Redifer · 05/22/2011, 07:46 PM

Yeah, I found a FAQ for the first chapter so hopefully that it enough to get me familiar with how the game works to handle the rest on my own.

I was born and raised in Littleton, and lived there til I was 18 (back in 2002) so I used to frequent all the Game Forces and Game Central locations around town. Actually the Game Force on Broadway just a little ways north of Littleton High School is where I bought my first Turbo Grafx 16 back in 2000 I think. It was $25 for the system and $5 each for Final Lap Twin, Victory Run and Kieth Courage. Not sure how many of those stores are still in Business (there were something like 8 or 9 around town I thought)

Joe Redifer · 05/22/2011, 09:56 PM

Game Force is still around, but the quality varies by store (Game Forces are franchised and have different owners). Game Force Boulder is by far the biggest and best one. You could go in there and spend an hour just looking around at all of the stuff. The employees know their shit, too. Game Force on Broadway is gone (if you are talking about the one on Broadway and Belleview). I remember that they had a crusty, booger-ridden copy of NES Contra, cart-only for $50. in their "rare games" section. I'm sure they used to be better. They closed and moved west to Coal Mine and Pierce I think. Still kind of shitty. Now that store is gone.

BlueBMW · 05/22/2011, 09:59 PM

I'll have to remember that next time I'm in town

Might be flying out there next month now that they have cheap fares direct Knoxville to Denver.

Joe Redifer · 05/22/2011, 10:01 PM

Let me know before you arrive so I can go up and buy all of the good stuff before you get here.

Their TG-16 section is tiny now, mostly Japanese RPGs and sports games. Sadly those things are hard to come by anywhere. Poor, neglected PCE.

BlueBMW · 05/22/2011, 10:07 PM

Hahaha!

I'm sure it wont be the same as it was some 10 years ago, but it will be neat for the nostalgic effect. There are maybe 4 game stores around here... 3 have jack crap. the other one has a ton of great stuff, but at double ebay prices.

PunkCryborg · 05/23/2011, 09:56 PM

My Laserdisc haul. I also picked up a Pioneer player with the set but it's not in the pics. No LaserActive yet, but maybe down the road. I love movies from the late 70s to early 90s so Laserdiscs are ideal for me. I'll be looking for more Anime, Spaghetti Westerns and Italian Horror films too.

TheClash603 · 05/25/2011, 12:31 AM

Night Trap is a good example of US cover art being better than the JP release. The game, although not really good, makes me very nostalgic every time I see it.

turbogrfxfan · 05/25/2011, 08:17 PM

Im really excited for military madness. ive only played it on my psp so im looking foward to the big screen

Sparky · 05/25/2011, 10:38 PM

Mathius · 05/26/2011, 11:14 AM

Here she is!

The Star Control II is brand new. I have already completed the game. That's all I have done for the past five days.

Nice going Mathius, I just got a 3DO too:

PunkCryborg · 05/26/2011, 07:18 PM

$15 thrift store haul
/img5788t.jpg

Silk screen Marushka print, 8 pin male to female din cord to use as an extender(now I can sit on my couch to play tg-16 games), Genesis games in cases to replace my loose ones, Thunder Force 2 for a friend

and at the bottom is a mystery SNES game. WHAT COULD IT BE???? Ahhh the suspense is killing me, it has a battery so that might eliminate most sports titles. Any guesses before I pop it in??

Mathius · 05/26/2011, 08:19 PM

That's a killer line-up Vest! Wing Commander III is FMV done right IMO.

DragonmasterDan · 05/26/2011, 09:00 PM

Not quite one day, but here is 240.00 worth of stuff bought from Tuesday to today (Thursday)

Mathius · 05/26/2011, 09:19 PM

Wow D-Dan! Nice! I have never heard of Snow Brothers. Where did you score these? A Chicago retro game store I bet. If so, I am jealous.

geise · 05/26/2011, 09:23 PM

Nice haul Dan. TMNT Turtles in Time, Pocky and Rocky, and Super Adventure Island are up there as some of my favorites on the SNES. Love the Dragon's Curse and Dead Moon. I still need to find my copy of Dead Moon. I feel it's lost forever. I can't do anything with a box and instructions...

Have you played Metroid Other M yet? I actually like it. Well not the voice acting anyways. Thought Team Ninja did a pretty good job.

Three different sources, the Turbo games except Dead Moon came from a book store. The SNES and NES stuff and Metroid came from a Play N Trade, Dead Moon was an internet purchase.

I have Snow Bros already (and all other US licensed NES carts), but this was a slight condition upgrade

blueraven · 05/26/2011, 09:56 PM

I haven't seen Snow Bros. in a looong time. Nice score

I had Road Rash bitd for the 3DO I had then. Great game, great soundtrack! Owning a 3DO just for Star Control II is valid though. It can't be overstated just how amazing this game is! Anyone who hasn't tried it please download the freeware version at www.sc2.sourceforge.net/ Be sure to get the voice pack along with it.
