Is that Soldier blade in one of those VGA 1000+% bricks?

DQ187 · 09/02/2016, 01:46 AM

No, its not graded, not into that nonsense, just a case u can open whenever. I had got it in a deal a while ago with Sinistron i think. My favorite Turbo game & probably my favorite cover art so i put it in the case and posted it on display there.

EvilEvoIX · 09/04/2016, 01:22 PM

Some good finds over the past couple of weeks. Get this, almost everything was found in antique shops. Sitting next to 18th century furniture, Hess Truck Collections, vintage clothing, and the like was classic games and equipment mixed in with records/cassettes/CD's. Always good to find a new outlet.

This is a great controller for the NES, clicky Joystick and buttons certainly not trash with suction cups on the bottom to stick to smooth surfaces. I like it better than the Advantage for sure.

Found a boxed Turbo local on the cheap, couldn't believe my luck I as checking Craigslist and it appeared within a mile of my house for a stupid price and I picked it up after being on Craigslist for less than an hour. came with Keith Courage and a complete copy of Splatter house. Nice to have some cardboard for once.

Batman & Robin rules, easily one of my top Sega Genesis games. Such high quality sound and grafx and zero slowdown in all the madness. Tough as nails, certainly harder than Gunstar Heroes and on par with Contra or Ninja Gaiden

Lynx Sun Visor, NOS why not for my growing Lynx Collection.

Bionic Commando. What a spectacular NES game!! Top 5 for me. I had to beat it and it took hours of mastering. What a great gem.

Local finds as well. Really enjoyed Déjà Vu.

Thunderblade Master System. Great Game, way better than I though.

SuperDeadite · 09/05/2016, 05:42 AM

Been a long time since I've picked up anything at all, but this randomly appeared and was cheap.

Hattary Plus, this is actually a collection of 4 doujin games (plus an extras disk), from 2 different dev teams. And oddly, it includes a home made soundtrack for Nemesis 90 Kai on cassette tape lol.

So, are you thinking the cassette was made by recording directly from x68000?

I assume Nemesis '90 Kai included a sound test... Otherwise, someone had to get damn good at the game to record it live whilst playing (SFX turned off, if possible).

Ahhh.... I made tons of analog recordings from old consoles BITD...

NecroPhile · 09/07/2016, 11:04 AM

I recently picked up a copy of Lego Batman 3 for the Vita.

I also learned that I can't play Walking Dead Season 2 on my PSTV. It's listed as a compatible game, but as near as I can tell they mean only the digital download version is compatible. Boo-urns!

xcrement5x · 09/07/2016, 03:30 PM

Man, I love the artwork on that X68000 doujin set. It just screams 80s/90s anime.

I was back in my hometown over Labor Day for some family stuff, and found a copy of The Evil Within for $7 brand new from Target and grabbed it. It's got some special lenticular sleeve and I'm a sucker for that crap, plus is was sub $10 and I was already getting diapers.

I splurged a little too much recently, pic related probably isn't even a 1/4th of what i got, but none of that stuffs come just yet.

EvilEvoIX · 09/10/2016, 11:22 AM

Ohhhhhhh dreamcast, on its anniversary no less.

Medic_wheat · 09/10/2016, 11:40 AM

What was the last dreamcast game I picked up and played?

Oh I remember. berserk. Got it a few months ago while in Corpus Cristi. Pretty good granted I think in my head I hyped it to much which lead to a little bit of a let down.

Ah yes the pain. I'm currently in wait mode as well. For Saturn goodies mostly. It had been awhile since I got anything good for Saturn, and it kinda just worked out that I bought some stuff, and managed a nice trade for some Saturn imports as well. Good times ahead.

To comment on the games pictured I will say I really like Jet Grind, and Heavy Metal Geomatrix isn't bad.

xcrement5x · 09/12/2016, 12:44 PM

Vintage Stock did me well recently. I have a 20% off new customer coupon I printed but hadn't used and it expires on the 15th so I gave them one more shot on Friday and found a DC game I needed (Ultimate Fighting Championship) for about $5 which was nice. Doing pretty good there, I think I've got just over 2/3 of the library, thankfully most of the expensive stuff is out of the way.

Then to my surprise I located a CIB copy of Ghouls 'n Ghosts for the Sega Master system. Got it for about $60 after the coupon which is a lot, but still pretty low for the US version. I may head back for a 16GB Vita card they've got, after coupon it'd be about $26. Not sure I wan't to spend so much in one weekend, I want to believe Vita cards will drop in price eventually.

ToyMachine78 · 09/12/2016, 05:22 PM

A few miscellaneous gets...

And from the family reunion this weekend... brought home some of the finest Mountain Dew Franklin County Va has to offer:

Damson Berry and Indian Peach.

Of course.... What else

Gredler · 09/12/2016, 06:36 PM

Moonshine is great, there is a distillery by my house that has a great selection of them.

http://www.twistedmanzanita.com/our-spirits/

They have various ones that switch out (looks like most right now a fruity).

They have various wood soaked ones (All nasty to me, but someone must enjoy that shit)

My favorite was the bacon moonshine, where they literally soak bacon in the shine and then filter and bottle the liquid after, my fiance loves the lemon cello - it is delicious but very sweet.

Tasty - shine is on the rise!

ToyMachine78 · 09/12/2016, 06:44 PM

I haven't found any commercial stuff I like. Most of it is too diluted, and has too much added sugar.

My dad's family has been shining for over a century in Callaway and Boone Va. Its the real deal.

Gypsy · 09/12/2016, 08:03 PM

Divinity Original Sin is awesome. Nice get.

Part 2 of the lot, mostly just COMIX and crap i found for cheap, nothing amazing. tomorrow is going to be huge though.

Gypsy · 09/12/2016, 08:18 PM

Project Justice! Pretty fun one even if it's not in my regular Dreamcast fighter rotation (LB2, Garou, KoF 98, KoF 02, Cap v SNK 2001).

Sparky · 09/13/2016, 10:55 PM

As far as the WD titles go, I think Albert Odyssey is kind of well, not good. Dragon Force and MKR though. <3

There are quite a few really good compilation discs on the Saturn. If I could only have one older system it would probably be the Saturn for that reason. Twinbee Deluxe Pack, Parodius Deluxe Pack, Thunder Force Gold Packs, Salamander Deluxe pack (Salamander 2!), Gradius Deluxe Pack, Konami Antiques, Capcom Generations etc...

If you like pinball, Last Gladiators is a slam dunk purchase. I'm so nice, I'll even provide a link to the cheapest one up on Ebay right now, just $6!

xcrement5x · 09/14/2016, 04:39 PM

Got an awesome Bonk plushie made by my friend the other day! This little guy looks great and protects me from King Drool while gaming :-)

Medic_wheat · 09/14/2016, 05:47 PM

Haven't really been posting much. But here is what came in the mail today.

Back art for my bomber man. Sweet!

Got me a PS4 copy of Retro City. Didn't realize it was going to come with a PSP (no D) copy. That's neat.

Use to watch Sailor Moon when it was still a thing. Heard there is a new series that's suppose to be more Manga faithful. Think it's up to season 3 but only the first seasons been released. In either case might be a fun distraction.

SuperGrafx · 09/14/2016, 10:18 PM

I got that new Target exclusive Super Mario 3D World "New" Nintendo 3DS console bundle.
I love the white color and Super Fami style buttons on this unit.
Plus it's smaller and less bulky than the XL

For $149, you cannot go wrong!

Mathius · 09/14/2016, 11:38 PM

The wife and I just got our Sailor Moon Crystal on launch day. I miss the 90s style animation but all around good stuff so far.

Maybe not on part of it. Seller still hasn't shipped a week since the order so I'll probably have to just have the order canceled any move on to other sellers. Meh. In the meantime, I should at least have 3 solid Saturn imports in my clutches by Monday. Win some lose some I suppose.

Same here. Picked t up because it was fairly priced CE for the Vita. But the game feels a little slow paced. Or maybe I have low tolerance for dungeon crawlers.

That might be the case, it seems to be a love/hate genre. I'm generally lukewarm on it and have to be in the mood. I really dug into Demon Gaze (thought Op Abyss was meh though) and Class of Heroes 2G. There seems to be an influx of them from Japan.

I just searched PVM. They where selling them for $150 each and they had about 6. I tested them all. I would say about 4 of them where just fine. I'm in Austin Texas. They said they get them every now and again from the local Hospital. So you could ask around the hospitals near you. I also have an XRGB mini I have had for about 2 years. It is the device that got me into RGB. With my recent gSCARTsw switcher I have them both hooked up.
