The “What-Did-You-Buy-Today?” Thread

How do you play an arcade shooter on a cry tv?

Hmmm I guess my question should be more how do you get an arcade light gun connected to play and be recognized by your jams harnest? 


Most light gun boards I have seen usually implement a new geo controller.  Granted it is all home made stuff so if you can make your own light gun to play jams and pcb board then I am sure you could make it to recognize a nam on light gun or something?  Hmmm

As long as you aren't overly harsh/blunt, you can get a cry TV to do a lot of things.

Naw I am always calling mine a fattie and that it needs to slim down like the newer model flatscreen in the living room

couple bucks each at flea market today.

Bluebeams - I loved PC Gamer too.  I think theh first issue I bought it came with a trial for MAster of Magic on floppy... that was awesome.  I bought their 1st issue (Wing Commander 3) that started to bundle CD discs and still saved the CD with the sleeve.  think I have it somewhere in my closet!!

I used to pour over this other PC Gaming mag, dont remember if its the same Strategy one you mentioned, just remember it was always pretty packed, thick mag filled with content.  Some good games back then:  Lands of Lore, Sam & Max, Days of Tentacle, Under a Killing Moon

I didn't read as many console game magazines back in the day but I did read a ton of PC gaming magazines.  I think I always liked Computer Games Strategy Plus and PC Gamer (with the little disks and later CDs for the "interactive" part)  Oh and Interactive Entertainment was always nice because they came with a free game.

So I see the stuff in games for the Amiibos but what exactly can you do with them?

That Mario party looks like a fun drinking game in the making.

now that i think about it, it does! if you become last place in any mini game, you gotta take a shot!!!

[wavering]

I finally found the last US release Bust-A-Move game I needed.  Bust-A-Move 2 for Gameboy is mine after two years of searching.  Never thought this title would be the "rare" game that would keep from completing that series.

You use 'em in a handful of games to get extra stuff, like in Mario Kart you get a racing suit for your Mii based on the Amiibo.  Think of them as DLC in physical form.

What a PC port of a game?

Guess they will port it to the PS4 and call it the HD verson like Squar did with FF7

They are nintendo's answer to skylanders i guess.



I don't think you can get much out of them yet but some are getting very collectible as figurines.

Lol, I'm just trolling. 

Here's part of a slowboat shipment I got this week.  I'm still sorting through the other bits, but have been using these already.


2014-12-11 Doujin CDs by xcrement5x, on Flickr


A bunch of random doujin albums I had picked up cheaply.

Bottom row is all Cool & Create albums. Two random Touhou ones that were cheap, and one with remixes from shooters.

Top row is two Woodsoft titles, I seem to like what they have put out so I've been grabbing more albums when I find them. Top left looks like a preview for the tiny treasure series. Middle is PC Engine tunes (as you could probably guess from the cover).

Top right album is the Sing!! Sega Game Music album. This is a funky little album because not only does it have regular tracks on it, it's got a playable version of Teddy Boy for the Mega-CD on there too. I consider is a MegaCD game for this reason and had to have it so I snagged it at a low price at auction. More info here for anyone interested:

Never played it myself but it is a spin off of the spiral the dragon games where you collect these figures that use a platform (think e reader for the GBA) and can be used to directly add characters in the game instead of selecting a character.

So you are playing for the game

A set up to have your character read and inputed in said game

Various additional characters and boosters to affect game play or crest a team

In game staue are saved to said game statue

And now we have various imitators like Disney and now the Aminbos

At lest that is my take on what it is based on ads.


A much more expensive verson of the old e reader for the GBA.

I always thought fighting card games would be the one to use this platform more successfully but they have seemed to have found a market for this stuff.

[esadajr]

sort of like the Mattel Hyperscan, but with figurines

i found brave fencer for PS1 in perfect shape for $17 locally today.

Recent stuff. The super fantasy zone was a goddamn steal on eBay - don't know how I got away with it. This is like the 8th version of revenge of shinobi I own, too. Never too much of a good thing!

Man all of that import goodness

Eyes can't take in all of that candy goodness.

[cr8zykuban0]

too much import goodness! love the megadrive collection in the background

[EvilEvoIX]

I got me one of them there Mega Drive clones.  This thing is BEYOND cheap and is mostly thin, empty plastic with no real quality to be found.  The controllers are equally thin and a lifeless D-Pad however it is a Mega Drive and plays games well and I can use y Original Sega Pads so there is that.  The sound is off on the games built in, especially Sonic which sounds VERY weird.  The Carts seems to play OK. 



SUPER GAMES!!!  It has Sonic Built in, Block out, Asteroids & PONG in black and white!!!




It came with two Multi Carts, they have Sunset Riders, Batman, Shinobi, Burning Knuckle, Super Hangon, Last Battle japanese version with blood everywhere, Flintstones, and some others,







It was $16 so why not right?

[VenomMacbeth]

Shit that's worth it for the multicart alone.  Sunset Riders?  Moonwalker?  Shinobis?  Lots of goodness there.

[Medic_wheat]

Does that multi cart play on a Real genny?

I'll let you know. I haven't tried it yet.

[Mathius]

Jeff, your Mega Drive collection is disgusting. I puke at you in admiration.

[VenomMacbeth]

Out of curiosity, do any of the games on that multicart differ in any way from the originals?  I have this famicom "power joy" multicart & most of the games are unaltered, but there's this one version of Dig Dug with hello kitty shoehorned into it as the player character, simply dubbed "Kitty".  Seems like they traded one property to rip off for another. :/

i remember seeing this post on fb. i wanna say you went to chile and they had a lot of famicom clone games there?

[munchiaz]

Some stuff i picked up over the past few weeks. Thanks to Xele for the popful mail. If anyone has a loose copy of Robo Aleste they want to sell, let me know. The case is lonely.



I just got back from a vacation to my hometown Buffalo NY. Picked up this stuff while i was there. The bag contains sponge candy, which is regional due to the way its made.

[Mathius]

Oh wow, Ark. Congrats!

I'd recognize that head of hair anywhere. 

[VenomMacbeth]

Scored copies of Mizubaku Daibouken & Gradius Deluxx0rz Pakku (complete with paper Vic Viper ^.^) at the local game store today.  Payed $120.  Probably overpayed, but at least I don't have to wait for them to come in the mail.

[OldMan]

This guy looks familiar 

What magazine is that?

[Arkhan Asylum]

That might be the one from Europe with Pokemon on the cover that I didn't buy yet.

[xcrement5x]

Nice munchiaz!  Glad she made it to you safely, take good care of her :'(

Solid finds too, that RAM cart box looks to be in nice shape, it took me a long time of trawling ebay to get a boxed one. 


I hit the thrift last Friday and found some of my favorite stuff, SEGA GENESIS GAMES!


2014-12-12 Thrift Finds by xcrement5x, on Flickr

Super Hang On
The Lion King
NHL 95
Spider-Man
Gold Game Genie
NHL Football '94

All these are super de-duper minty except for NHL 95.  I'm amazed, it's like they were opened once and only played a couple times.  The manuals and inserts don't even look like they were ever removed from the cases.

Montana 94 is the kind of game I played a couple times. I prefer Montana 2, that (along with Sonic) got me into the Genesis and changed my gaming history forever

Nice pickups, Dan. I think your Sony PVM may be the same model as mine. I'd like to find another just like it as mine has a little screen burn-in. Thankfully it isn't too noticeable with most games.

The Ikegami has a little screen burn in as well. Is that the PVM BMW gave you at VGS a few years back?

Sponge candy is so good. I brought a bunch in to work today for my co-workers. So far Guilty Gear is pretty good. I've only played it twice so far, and its going to be on the back burner for a bit until after i take a Cisco exam on 12/29

Sorry to disappoint, that is one I want to keep actually since I didn't have it either.  Now if you're interested in a copy of Lion King I may be able to help you out... ;)

teh lummy!

got the villager amiibo today .. two of them, they getting harder to buy at the normal retail price.

/P1020427.jpg

[VenomMacbeth]

I would love the amiibo thingies if 1. They were $5 each and 2. They didn't have that interactivity thing with the wii, which I care nothing about.  Instead of these, I would have loved to have figures styled properly after the "trophies" but with articulation.
