Mighty Taco is 1000x better.

Order some to your homes, you won't be disappointed.

When I was a UB student, ate a lot of Mighty Taco. It was good for filling up on lots of tacos, but
the Taco Bell Quesidiazs were way better then anything at Mighty.

Typically though it was all about Duff's wings, and Ted's Hotdogs. Ted's onion rings were incredible.
For non fast food it was all about the local Beef on Wack with lots of kraut. Buffalo had some great food,
but too much damn snow. Buffalo should move to Japan already.

I miss how Taco Bell tasted back in the late 80s and early 90s. Same with Pizza Hut. When Pizza Hut started using red onions on their pizzas instead of white onions that's when I started giving my business to other chains. Their reasoning is that red onions look better. Pizzas with white onions taste much much better. It drives me crazy.

My girth is indicative of how good the food in Buffalo, NY is. Saibot can attest, I took him to get some wings when he was here, and he's coming back for more!

I could so go for some real Kimmelwack rolls right now. I'd eat some with every meal if I could....

16bit · 07/31/2011, 04:13 PM

Latest shipments...Swords of Destiny is pretty awesome, enjoying it more than Devil May Cry. And I can now understand what all the Yuna hype is about. Also...Dogora may be the strangest Japanese monster movie I've ever seen.

I heard that Jim Power has very good graphics but horrible controls. Let us know how it plays.

Tatsujin · 07/31/2011, 10:44 PM

Jim Powers most notably has good musics and.. yeah good musics.

Graphic wise it is far inferior compared to the original Amiga version. Control isn't the best either.

Actually, I know that Jim Power is known to be bad but I'm going to go against the grain...I love this game. The controls really aren't that bad. The one hit kills might get annoying if you like to rush through levels, and the jumping takes some getting used to. But I find the game enjoyable enough to play through...I haven't beat it yet though. There is also a cheat mode that can add to the fun, but I want to try to beat the game before messing around with it.

If you want to talk horrible controls...Slime World takes the win. What a slug-fest. I had high hopes for this game too.

Joe Redifer · 08/01/2011, 01:58 AM

Doesn't Jim Power have only one tune? I know the Mega Drive version has but one track. I really like Chris Hülsbeck's (or however you spell his name) arrangement of it located on some non-game music CD with arrangements of his tunes. I haven't heard the PCE arrangement of the tune yet.

No, this version has a track for every level as well as boss music...and it is a surprisingly good soundtrack. Check out the music for level 3, it's my fav:

And I just checked out the Mega Drive song which ironically is the same as the song for Level 3.

But check out the other Jim Power songs posted by the same youtuber....good stuff.

Joe Redifer · 08/01/2011, 05:31 PM

Yeah, that's the arranged version I am talking about. It's pure win.

This

is by far my fav track of the game

the very beginning gets me the goosbumbs everytime

JoshTurboTrollX · 08/02/2011, 09:54 AM

Jim Powers has an excellent soundtrack, worth the purchase alone IMO!

Hülsbeck is one of my favorite game composers, loved the turrican game soundtracks he worked on!! Truly legendary!
More people should share their Jim Powers love!!

Two MAS sticks marks the beggining of a Neo-Geo library.

They were omitted to save on shipping from japan. It was a random grab bag deal someone was doing on another site.

It came with Tecmo world cup 96 and top player golf. Its got a MVS one slot pcb inside but its faulty.

I cant make my mind up if its an original NEO GEO cab or not.

I'd say conversion given it's button layout and the shape of it's panel.

nexzr fuck yea!! did you get that from kitkit?

dingsbums · 08/09/2011, 05:04 PM

I have seen Kitkit's sale thread and he had nice games for good prices but nearly all of the CD games I was interested in were without the Spine

.
Some games on the pics come from Yahoo & some come from an Austrian collector (Nexzr, 1941, Rayxamber III & Space Invaders CD).

Lilgrafx · 08/10/2011, 12:15 AM

Well I didn't buy it but for my Birthday today my brother got me 27 turbo grafx games and one pce game. He bought them at a local game store all for $10. I went in that store once a week for the entire summer and never found anything, but the one time I didn't go with him some collector unloads all his games on the store.

Some of the titles include
Air Zonk w/ Manuel
Adventure Island w/ manuel
Splatter house complete
Sintron Complete
Raiden complete

Needless to say when he put them all in front of me I almost cried. I'll post pictures of all of them sometime this week.

roflmao · 08/10/2011, 01:10 AM

Wow, hot damn. That's awesome.

I got Gradius III (SNES) today. I gave my previous copy to my brother so it's nice to have it again. I still haven't beaten the third boss yet, but I got *this* close this afternoon.

Mishran · 08/10/2011, 01:04 PM

Just now traded a pawn shop owner two NES pads which I paid four buck for the pair at a Goodwill and five dollars cash for a new in box Acemore Super Stick for my Turbo. Not sure if it was a good deal or not, but it goes well with the new in box Super Stick I bought at a flea market last year for $3. Aside from the grinding and squeaking the stick makes when you move it around, I think the controller works rather well. Box has seen better days though.
