I just won Super Bomberman off ebay.
I think its the 1st one

Odyssey 2 system CIB
NES Uforce controller CIB
Sega Genesis Activator CIB
Genesis EA 4-player adaptor CIB
Quickshot NES/MS/MSX/Atari wireless controllers CIB
All for $80
Picked up a neon light XBox 360 sign for $20 shipped. I'm not sure if that's a deal, but it was listed as "XB360" and ended without any bids. My little bro is into the 360, so I got it for him, sort of as a holiday present. :)
Well, I haven't gotten it yet to confirm what seller paid to ship it, but the shipping was listed as $15, with a start bid of $10. After the auction ended, I e-mailed the seller and told him I'd take it off his hands for $20 shipped.
F-Zero for the SNES for 4.98. 8) The thing with it was that there was a crack in the bottom part of the cartridge where the connectors are. There was also something loose inside. I opened it up & found that the pieces were still there, so I glued them back together.
It's great being able to restore an old game back together. :D
I still haven't played this - is it great? I've only played F-Zero X before, which I recently got. ;D
F-Zero for the SNES is a classic. It's not as fast as its N64 and GC counterparts, but still a good time. My only gripe with it is that it's only 1 player (though this can be forgiven, as this is a launch title for the SNES) and everyone really slides around the track except Samurai Goroh (Fire Stingray). Actually, just be the Fire Stingray; fastest and heaviest vehicle, great for the Death Wind tracks!
Another thing: No one can die but you and you can't knock the others around. As soon as you touch them, you go flying into the wall! No matter though, as it is still great fun and rather challenging.
It's only one player? ??? That sure bites, I was expecting it to be 2. So I take it Mario Kart was released later?
Yea, Mario Kart was released a bit later and contained a DSP chip. The SNES MK is a great game, the N64 one was pretty good as well. Gamecube version stinks, I wouldn't have it but I got the pack last year with the Cube, 2 controllers and MK for $99 :)
TMNT 4 turtles in time at flea market for 5 bucks

God damn, really hope Nintendo thinks about bringing those over here...I've been dying to get that Tingle game since I heard it was in the works.
I don't think Nintendo will release that game in the West.
It was exclusively produced for Platinum members of Club Nintendo. 8)
I guess your only chance to play this is buy it with a premium in an auction or try to get the rom and play it on a flash cart.

Or play a hacked rom of it when someone comes around to doing it. :P
Why a hacked rom?
Isn't the normal rom enough? ;)
It should be available soon I guess. A rom of the Game & Watch Collection was out very quickly, too.

Through sheer serendipity, I kept my original Earthbound's packaging and strategy guide throughout my childhood. I had the game since the year it came out, and it's the only SNES game I have whose box survived.

OMG those are really awesome games! congrats on your finds!
Last week @ Starland:
Duke Nukem: Time To Kill (PSOne - Complete)
Medal of Honor (PSOne - Complete)
Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire (N64 - Complete)
Yesterday at Gamestop:
Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones
Crash Bandicoot: The Huge Adventure
Golden Sun
All were cart only.
What's Starland?
And how's the Crash game? Never heard of it.
Yeah I also want to know about Starland. Well I might be going to the flea market next weekend and see if I can find anything with the 10 bucks I have left lol.
First off, Starland has only one location, and that's in Northern Virginia. They have old stuff, current stuff, imports, and anime. As for the Crash game, it's pretty good.
www.estarland.com (http://www.estarland.com) <-- Check that out for their stuff.
Hooray, it's here:
(http://www.speakeasy.org/~sjmaks/egret/egret1.jpg)
what exactaly is it and where did you get it shipped from
You are the luckiest man ALIVE.
It's an Egret II, Japanese "Candy Cab." They are smaller in size than typical American arcade cabs, but still have large monitors. This one has a 29". The plastic "Egret II" header cracked, so it's just the exposed light right now. I have to glue this one and then order a new one from Japan.
I want some nba jam action :( I saw this add of this guy selling a simpsons 4 arcade machine for 300 dollars!! Only problem is that the screen is not working but he says it's fixable/.
Everything is fixable. If it's the monitor, put a new monitor in it. $300 isn't bad if it's a dedicated cabinet.

I just got nam 1975 for neo geo in the old style carton box in pretty good condition for a great price. im pleased. it has a little bit of price tag residue on the back side but overall its very nice and it was a good deal.

sweet manuel!
I just got a starcraft battle chest, sealed, for 15 bucks on ebay.
also, my metal slug should be here tommorow
Sweet indeed. :D
Japanese Club Nintendo is great.
European Club Nintendo sucks. They have nice presents sometimes, but those are always sold out within a few minutes. :-\ Last time they had a cool Wii bag, announced it on the page. I looked and it was already not available any more. Same today. They had "Anno 1701" (DS) for 5000 stars. I looked and all were gone already.
I've over 15000 stars and there's nothing to buy! >:(
I got the new castlevania for the ds and dragon warrior monsters and metroid 2 for the good old gameboy.
Yesterday at Starland:
Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3 (Game Boy - cart only - $9.99)

ePrey : CIB/MIB final fantasy 5 - super famicom - £2.20/$4.40
My best find so far sincing joining ebay, close 1st with CIB master system £14/$29
That's a good find for that price.
I paid around 400 Yen for my FF5 in Japan. :)
I got an original gameboy for around $4.
I was surprised because i got 4 and 6 the same day for nearly 4X the amount 5.
i'm josthoping it's the same deal with 1 and 3, i spent $27 on CIB FF2.
Update: my friend GAVE me his n64, complete[all leads etc.]. Pretty nice of him i would say.
Hopefully when another friend comes back from holiday he siad he would give me his SNES stuff, he siad it would be CIB he just can't find the box, but no complaints either way.
On Friday I went to Gamecrazy to order a PS2 Game, I got in the mean time
2 for $5
Tecmo Super Bowl II
Tecmo Super Bowl III
all for the Genesis
Today I just bought a whole batch of NES games, and one of them was a SuperVision cart! On the top of the cart it said,''Super Mario Bros. 3.'' Me, thinking it was just the normal Mario 3 with the racoon and power ups, wasn't really surprised of the SuperVision cart...until I popped it in my NES! The game turned out to be none-other than the japanese version of Super Mario Bros. 2! :o The game has a hacked title screen, replacing the title by different game sprites, and you can chose ANY level you want before you start your game! Really cool find. :)
That sounds too cool. I'd love to see some pics of the cart/screen, if you don't mind.
Here are some pics! Also notice they replaced the named Mario by Rambo on the game select screen! :D

something cool to have.
I wonder what the first 2 were like.
I also wonder how much it could be worth? SuperVision carts are pretty hard to come by, and Super Mario 2 japan pirates are also pretty hard to find. :)
I just bought an XBox (complete with box) with 6 games, 2nd controller and the DVD kit for 72 Euros shipped.
Maybe I can sell 4 of the games (as I don't like them) and make the box itsself a better deal. ;) Although it's already a good deal, seeing that used XBoxes usually go for 70 Euros without games. :)
That's really neat. You don't see too many Supervisions, and I'd never seen that game by the company. The title screen hack is poor...I guess they tried. I don't get why they do that. It's not like hacking the title screen makes stealing the game ok. I did a quick search over at NintendoAGE and they don't have SMB3 listed. So perhaps this is a truly rare find.

I wonder how many could have been made by SuperVision? Maybe it's a one of a kind! ;D
awesome pirate cart loved it!
Should I film a bit of game footage to show off how it plays and works? :)
heh that would be interesting maybe some mario pros can find some differences between the games.
I'll do that right now :)
Well, I filmed some footage and tried to upload it on Youtube, but they keep saying my movie exceeds the movie limit. But what I don't understand is my movie is less than 10 min....what do I do?
Maybe the video is uncompressed which is a bigger size and might be too much for the limit. Well you should try breaking the video into segments and upload them in parts.
theres a 10 minute TIME limit and a 100MB SIZE limit. You have come in under both.
My movie is less than 10 minutes but more than 100mb...how do convert it into a smaller video size?
Depends on how you compress it. Theres dozens of video compression programs. Turn down your quality, frame rate, or even sound quality to bring down the file size.
people on youtube have like a 23 min video..how can you do that
You have to be listed as a "director" I believe.
Either you are a director or you uploaded the video before the restrictions were implemented. ;)

Super Punch Out (loose) for $5.
sort of CIB jap megadrive received today, missing paper work and the AC adapter has been changed for a UK equivalent.
The system and controller are in mint and all the polys are there so thats a plus.
I just have to get my PAL megadrive 2 collection back from my apartment.
Today I got Zelda - Mugen no Sunadokei (DS) in the mail from Japan. ;D
I think that i have a supervision(robinhood) fami cart but i am not sure and some other weird pirates. also one with mario. I dont love pirates actually ,excepts my multi cart with twinbee and stuff :)
Could you show a pic of the SuperVision Robin Hood cart? Sounds cool ;D
I don't think I've ever seen a Supervision Famicom cart...lots of NES Supervisions, though. Would be neat to see yours.
Its on this link
http://s195.photobucket.com/albums/z285/har-the-cat/
With some other weird pirates. A cart with a altered beast picture. I thougt when i buyed it "Yes altere beast on the nintendo, Cool" but it isnt altered beast but a poor side scrolling beat em up game (Also a picture on the link) And mario 4. Thats a very heavy cartridge.
Also a mario 6 game.(Tiny toons with mario) :-\
That's really a SuperVision cart! Great find! And since you say you don't like pirates very much, maybe you could sell them on ebay and make yourself some extra cash. :P
Really how much is it worth then?
:D
Well I never saw one like this, so I don't really know. But oftenly SuperVision carts sell for over 40$, but it depends on the game that it contains. It might sell for around 40$ or more. Also your Mario 4 and Mario 6 carts might sell for alot :)
What! 40 dollars? Then im going to sell it on ebay then. :)
Thanks for the info! :D
I tried posting in this yesterday but my post never went through (crappy dial-up). I don't see a Supervision in there. Maybe I'm not looking right, but I see Robin Hood and an NTDEC. And if you have a Famicom Supervision, though rare, I couldn't see it getting more than $20, unless the miracle of eBay brings NES Supervision collectors into the realm of Famicom collecting for one great battle over a rare Famicom Supervision cart. Possible. I know a heck of a lot of NES collectors who, for whatever reason, don't do Famicom collecting. And with there being few, if any, discovered Famicom Supervisions, there aren't any Famicom Supervision collectors. But you never know with eBay.

Old magazines I found in my magazine collection talking about the upcoming snes add on lol man it looked somehow like the 64dd
Cool!
Maybe there is a prototype somewhere, we shall never know.
Yeah a prototype of it would be awesome. I wonder if it'll be found if it exists
If there is one, then ismit often property of a underground collector. There was once a subject of underground collectors in the retro gamer. That was pretty shocking to read. :D
Also a mastersystem disk add on, thats just too heavy! :)
got fftactics(complete),granturismo2,(complete),and gbc handheld with 2 games for 5 bucks
Bought a boatload of stuff from a Japanese online shop.
Including a yellowed Famicom (for 780 Yen), PC Engine (+ CD drive + interface unit) and several games for Famicom, Super Famicom, PC Engine and DS. The lot with 19 items will be shipped tomorrow and will cost me 9660 Yen. Not bad I think. ;D
got gameboy camera for 99 cents at eb games today and some gb carts some of the best titles are quart,mario land,and little mermaid in the set lol
Here are some pics of my recent acquisitions. There's also some Famicom stuff inside, but mostly it's PC Engine-related.

Share collection?
There's a link to my collection in my sig.
I haven't added my new acquisitions, though. I'm a bit busy these days.
The books I ordered are still at my parents-in-law's house in Japan. I don't know when I get them here. When I have them I'll post pics of course. :)

I got a Dreamcast complete.
I got a couple of magazine lots. The first one was .99 cents while the other was 2.25 I needed to get me some back issues of nintendo power and EGM because my subscriptions were up and I was out of money so these auctions were the best thing that could happen! Saved me quite a bit.

That box reminds me of Liveman which was an old Japanese series I used to watch when I was young.
LOL, you got it?
let me know what it's like
I'd like to play it, but you need at least 2 players (i.e. 2 DSs) to play. :) I only have 1 as of now unfortunately.
Nice Japanese Windows BTW ;).
I scored an unopened copy of the Limited Edition Bioshock today for $30. Now I just need my Xbox 360 to get back from Texas.

Yeah, they're really detailed, considering the size. Mine was broken, though, so I need 2k to send me the replacement box.
Ha! ive got shock troopers for the neo geo mvs.

im waitin for them to finish the translation patch at mother3.org
Quote from: vealchop on September 20, 2007, 11:02:52 am
im waitin for them to finish the translation patch at mother3.org
Yeah, how's that coming along? I hadn't heard anything in a while.
Why does it take them so long? I just wonder, because anime fansubbers have translations of a complete 23 minute episode of animes in 1 or 2 days. :o
Well, translating and programing the text in the game is no easy task. You can't really compare fan subs of anime movies to a game translation, because the game has lots more writing and all the writing needs to be programed to fit in the game. And not only that, but sometimes while programing text in cetain parts of the game glitches might appear that cause the game to be unplayable, so they need to fix these also. It's better of them to take more time on the project and have a near perfect translation than rather rush it all and make it ugly and bugy. :)
Hmm... that has me convinced.
Maybe I should look into this scene more. Sounds interesting, although I don't know ANYTHING about programming. :-[
You can check out romhacking.net (http://www.romhacking.net/) (and their Getting Started (http://www.romhacking.net/start/) page) if you want some info.
The basic hurdles while translating a game from Japanese to English are:
1) You only have as much room (that is, number of bytes on the cart/rom) to store the translated text as was used by the Japanese text. As I'm sure you know, Japanese is a far more succinct language than English (although I'm pretty sure the Mother series uses only kana), so your translation ends up being too long. There are solutions to this problem, such as rom expansion; numerous forms of text compression; and clever script editing, but it's nearly always a hurdle you have to overcome.
2) The text boxes are only a certain size, and may not be suited to English text. This is another issue of size, though it's dealing with physical space on a screen rather than space on a chip. Imagine how much you could say in Japanese versus English in a 10 row x 3 line text box. This kind of thing can get *really* messy if you're dealing with menu systems (which, being an RPG, I'm sure Mother 3 has plenty of). Again, solutions abound. There's variable width font hacks (VWF hacks) to make the English text only take up as much room as needed (think of it as typing in Arial instead of Courier New). And there's menu hacks for resizing the game's menus (this can be really tedious, depending on the game).
3) Game script format. Some games are very internally organized and have the game's script all in one place in the rom. Other games have the script strewn about all over the place. The latter makes tracking down the complete script and inserting in the new script very difficult. I'm pretty sure Mother 3 (the whole Mother series, actually) falls into that category. There's also the issue of "control codes" in the script. These are used to demarcate various actions in the script. Stuff like new lines, pauses, bold text, spacing, etc. Again, I'm pretty sure Mother 3's script is full of these as well. And then there's script compression and, possibly, encryption. I don't know if Mother 3 uses either of these, but these are really more of a annoyance to a talented rom hacker than a problem.
The reason for the hold up, I'm pretty sure, is my third point. The game's code is simply messy (from a rom hacker's perspective). A translation hack of Mother 3 will take time, talent, and persistence. There's plenty of that floating around the Mother/Earthbound fan community, so, for the rest of us, it's just a game of patience.
(PS - never ask a rom hacker "when is the translation going to be complete". They really hate that question and the answer is always "it'll be done when it's done" (or something far more vulgar ;D).

I hope the mother 3 translation is not left out like many other translation projects. I always wanted Captain Tsubasa 2 in English although I heard of an Spanish patch which will work just as well.
I got Mortal Kombat 2 for the SNES -a true classic-
Pocket Monsters Red
Pocket monsters green! ;D
got that too ;D both CIB
Woo. Just played and beat Metal Storm. Totally awesome game. It gave me a password for "expert mode", so now I get to do it all over again.

I don't have a Wii yet, but I preordered Super Mario Galaxy from amazon Japan. The price was only 4930Yen, so that's quite cheap. :)
So when I get a Wii I'll have a game already and won't have to buy it then. The psychological barrier is lower that way. :P

Not really game related, but I found a hands-free set which works with my cellphone and a DVD player on my way home this morning. There's a construction site nearby and people seem to throw away all kinds of stuff there. I once found a modern TV set there, but the CRT imploded so I left it where it was ;D.

I went to check Radio Shack yesterday and found nothing :( I'm sad now.....
Ive got salamander, parodius, road fighter, pinguin adventure for msx. . but ive got nemesis 1 too, that game is mint.
The levels are different to the famicom nes versions. this parodius came out in 1988 instead of 1990.

Msx games from konami are most of the time really expensive. thats pity :-\
I got top gear and tiny toons for the snes a couple of days ago.
Bought Super Mario Galaxy from amazon.
Got me a hefty 75 points in the Club Nintendo.
I can't play it now, but I can play it as soon as I move to Japan and buy a Wii. ;)
Bought it as in a pre-order, right? It doesn't come out till the 12th.
Man I remember getting so excited about Super Mario Bros 3 coming out but nowadays I didn't even knew about Super Mario Galaxy until recently....lol

Hey guys, Do you know something about a fm towns marty computer? Iwant to buy one maybe but i doubt.
???
I'm still waiting for gradius 3....damn thanksgiving the post offices were closed!
Just got my Phantom Hourglass feather stylus for DS in the mail! Free if you register the game, and its the only way to get it!
(http://crave.cnet.com/i/bto/20071008/zph_stylus.jpg)
found castlevania for .99 cents at thrift store. BTW I registered my zelda ds game and I got the survey but the link doesn't work!! I already emailed nintendo to see wtf is wrong.
I found a mint grey official N64 control on ebay for $16 shipped(These are getting very hard to find at this price.)
I also was at EB Games and bought an N64 with a mint yellow official control for $15 plus tax.
Not bad if you ask me!
I bought Perfect Dark PAL Version for $1.99 at the goodwill on Monday ..I just want to know if it works..Will it work on the Gameshark Pro, NUS-NPDP-EUR
It should work with any Gameshark. The NTSC and PAL codes may not be interchangeable, though.
Nope. You will need something like a Passport Plus III for it to read the CIC from your region I believe.
Wanna sell me it? :)
OOps. Thought you were someone else. Yes, It will work. you may need a boot code though.
Oh plop it's not booting in my N64..3 of my Gamesharks is Displaying a 8 when I have it in the Gameshark
try the diddy kong racing boot code
or sell me it.
I guess the game is locked out..
I got a couple of SNES titles today. Gradius 3 this game rocks!!! and a second copy of super metroid because the other one has a dead battery...
I got Contra IV today man that game is hard even on easy and FFV for the GBA one of my favorite FFs! :D

Kewl! but I personally like the PS one versions....the N64 versions look cheap...
The N64 versions actually have better graphics, though they sometimes lag a bit Im told. There may also be fewer options and extras in the N64 versions.

awaaa! I was wondering you can only play jap carts in a jap n64 right?
no, if you cut the tabs on your american one it will work.
the lockout is simply physical..
nice find by the way, you got the best n64 game ever there: mystical ninja starring goemon.
i would play that if I were you....
I see so it's the same as the SNES plastic thing.
I already had mystical ninja.

Nice box you got there :) I have a similar one but for my N64. Sadly my freakin' dog bit off one of the corners the day we bought it from the store. :-\ By the way, I noticed that you have the game Pokemon green in your Super game boy for SNES! The weird thing is that I also have mine in my super gameboy for 3 months now and it's still there! :D Pokemon Green still lives! 8)

I got the new yugioh gx game for the PS2 and was so disappointed with it. I'm still going to keep it. I also got Phantasy Star 2 and 3 for the Genesis and gotta tell you I'm in love with Phantasy Star 2, the game just feels like a dos game for some reason and that's a great feeling! ;D
I visited the local thrift store yesterday and found a copy of FFIX for the PS1 for 3 dollars. yay I have the FFs on PS1 once again ;D
Got a bunch of Atari 2600 games at Goodwill

No More Heroes is AWESOME. Good score, dude.
I didn't get a game, but a magazine.
Famitsu finally published the long awaited No. 1000 of their magazine.
I won't have it shipped to Germany because of the weight, so I'll be only able to read it in June. :)
I bought an FC Twin on Saturday at Starland. Had to get my SNES fixed (bad pin in there or something), so I decided to go with the Twin.

You should try to find a gold mario toy from McDonalds.
There was a contest a few years ago, if you found a gold nintendo toy in your happy meal, you won something.
I think it would be really expensive though :-\

Hey people, I've been gone for a while, but continuing playing, collecting and writing.
My site is down temporarilly, now we're trying to make a funny-famicom-related site, so you can laugh of Famicom people :P
But there I get some games that I really don't know what the label says (soon I will post it in the identification thread).
The argentinean is back :)
Some new stuff

(http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z307/switchstance_pics/pmp1.jpg)
In the pic : the complete collection of Action Games #1-#100, Argentinean magazine covering videogames from 8/16 bits.
Some SNES games like Mario Kart, Star Fox, Krusty Funhouse, International Superstar Soccer y Super Street Fighter 2.
a Dpac , I'm making my own arcade with MAME, so I get this dpac, a video card and the wires to hook up all together, some Famicom games [pretty variated], some Genesis games also, like Chuck Rock II and Zombies ate my neighbours.
And in the other pics, my new stuff :
A Portable Media Player with NES/Famicom emulation, you can play famicom games everywhere, you must connect to your computer and put some roms into it (6GB memory) and you're done. The screen is 3" and it's extremely cheap.
Maybe I could write a review of it.
That's all :)
I just got back from savers, and i got: a model 1 genesis, a playstation, a model 2 genesis power thing, and 3 super nintendo controllers. I payed $10.55 total.
Bought Dragon Quest Swords for Wii. This game is really fun. :D

Great stuff. Where did you get all those awesome magazines. I used to collect Club Nintendo in my younger years but then I moved here and they didn't had a subscription method so I missed out on some awesome magazines! Last year my sister bought me some old ones they were selling in used book stores so I was dazzled and amazed at looking at all the NES codes with horrible picture quality lol!

Very nice,

Do you have any repeated?
I would like to get two or three Action Games from the 8 bit era!
Purchased some pirate PC games for less than $12 and they all work perfectly. I found a 2,500 game pack for the Wii containing all nes/snes, master system/megadrive & pc engine/turbo grafix games. I payed $3 for it.

Whoa that's good graphic art for some pirate ROM pack.
They are all fine, in Bangkok they have loads of stalls which sell pirate software/dvd's ;D ;D ;D. I only wanted these. They do put an effort into their graphics and all of the cd's are printed. I just need to place them into a dvd case.
This was the stall where I purchased them from. There are hundreds of these stalls all over Bangkok selling all formats of piracy:

Do you need a modded Wii to play that emulation disk?
Naah, Just as long as it is NTSC. It will not run on PAL Europe.
So it would run on a non-modded Japanese Wii? ... Interesting. :)
Intellivision Lives for the PS2 at Gamecrazy for $5
Just bought this near-mint japanese TV Tuner for the Sega Game Gear for 30$. It comes with the box, the manuals and plastic baggies ;D Yeah I know the signal is going to change some time during 2009 rendering the tv capabilities useless, but still I heard you can plug an RF plug in it, so you can use your Game Gear as a TV for any games system, satelite box, dvd or vhs that has an RF box! NEAT! ;D

I finally decided to hit a thrift store and found some interesting games. I got all these for 3 dollars. The top game is a Sega PC game which I never heard of called Tomcat Alley. I never knew Sega released PC games in the past!
(http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff280/luiszena/DSC00321.jpg)
Yeah, Sega was pretty involved in PC games back in the day. A lot of their console and arcade games recieved PC ports, and if I recall correctly they actually published some non-Sega developed PC games, like they do nowadays with stuff like Condemned.

Are they somewhat rare in any way?????
I don't think they're rare like Mario 8 or anything, but they're certainly not common. I couldn't imagine they did too well, sales-wise.

Yeah I actually installed this game in my old DOS machine and it's horrible.....really really horrible well it doesn't help that I don't like airplane games..
Ever Play Sonic-R?
The music is horrible, the sounds are weird, and the controls aren't great. You have to collect all of the emeralds before crossing the finish line or you lose, which is stupid.

Yeah I was thinking the same because man at first I was like the graphics sucks to be GBA games....lol
Heh.
Do you like them?
In Ruy 3, you can press L and R to get to a menu.
I think that pressing R and Select saves.
They are pretty cool. I'd like to own a GBA pirate. :(

Hell yeah I love them! Thanks for the info. They may be hacks but they play great!
I know, right? :P
Also, you can improve the graphics from the debug menu.
I don't remember what it was, though.

Can you post some in game screenshots of the two games? I'd like to get an idea of the gameplay. I may be interested.
I don't really have access to a good camera right now, and my good computer is not connected to anything, so I have to use a shitty laptop.
Here's a video of Bluesea that I found.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMilbhyV7gg
Also: The one I have is not in Spanish. It is in English, but the grammar isn't perfect. It just makes it funnier. :P
Interesting hack !
That's Bluesea, I am selling one.

No. :P
I'm hoping to make money on it, or at least break even. :P
I've got one of these today:
(http://www.vidgame.net/NEC/NEC/tg_acc/tg_joy.jpg)
Seems like a very nice arcade-stick. How common are they? I don't have a TG16/PC Engine so I'm thinking of modding it to work on other consoles, but I could let it go if somebody is interested in it.
I got Resident Evil for the gamecube. Really nice remake
I almost won the J version of Resident Evil (Biohazard) for the GC a few months ago in an ebay auction for like $10 shipped from Japan. It sold for like $12 shipped./ :S

Damn that sucks. Why did you wanted the japanese version for?
The same reason why you want all the japanese versions of Nintendo games; because you find them cool, collectable, and fun. :P

I just won an auction with some cool pokemon pirates in it.

At least I think they are pirates. I have never seen anything like them before.
The Silver one is the only realy Pokemon game.
I wonder if they are the real games, or if they are just engrish transrations, or it they are like those famicom hacks...
I'm thinking they are chinese pirates or something.
wow if you want to let one of those pirates go let me know
I doubt it, but we'll see. :P
I just got in the mail The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (GC Version) + the Strat Book that covers the Wii & the Gamecube version's and The Action Replay for the GC
The GameCube version is the best version, good choice!
I liked the leather-bound guides they made for Twilight Princess and Phantom Hourglass. They're very very nice.
I got the Offical Nintendo Book..
Today I got me Takarajima Z (=Zack & Wiki) and Redsteel (both NEW) for the Wii for 1980 and 580 Yen. 8)
Woo! I just won a loose copy of Mischief Makers for N64 for $0.01!
*cough* + $4.99 shipping *cough*
Still good, though.
Ratchet & Clank Future (PS3, NEW) for 1980 Yen. :D Now I need a PS3 to play it. :P
GTA: Vice City. $2
good deal manuel, I payed $60 for mine!
I got the Halo Trilogy today for $5.00. I sold them (because I already have all of them) and made $55.00!
sweet find
My best find was a 99 cent almost complete Pop n' Twinbee for the SFC. No game tray. Seller didn't put down what system it was for and only had the name listed in the title with nothing else!

Latest NES games + sega zombies ate my neighbors game. This lot was 2 dollars at goodwill
WHOA ZOMBIES FOR THE GENESIS!!!! Didn't know such a thing existed! Love the SNES game ;D
What are the differences between it and its SNES counterpart? Which one is better?
I too love that game.

I remember renting both versions on separate occasions. My brother and I unanimously decided that the SNES version was better, but I haven't the foggiest recollection as to why ???
I haven't tried it out yet but I'll let you know. I did loved the SNES version when I was young.
The pokemon pirates i bought off ebay are chinese pirates with hacked title screens (The pokemon logo) Also, it seems the save feature is broken on these pirates. This is a common problem with gameboy pirates though I believe.
Also, I bought the Super Famicom version of The Lion king.
Most of the time pirates won't bother on putting an expensive SRAM chip + a battery on the cart board so you can save your progress. They want to make a quick buck.
Archaic Sealed Heat (NDS) and Sega Ages 2500: Phantasy Star generation:1 (limited edition) (PS2)

I haven't looked very much, but the pokemon yellow pirate has a battery in it.
Kewl I just got a pirate like that somewhere around my closet. I think it's this Rockman Chinese gameboy cart
Not really games... at all. BUUUT
eMac-$20
iMac-$50
Bad Hard Drive- $1.50
My dad got 8 eMacs and an iMac, though. :P
Specs on the emac and imac please.
What kind of specs?
It's an iMac G4
Screen is 12x9 inches
eMac is... an eMac
I really don't know much about them., other than the iMac is a cool swively thing and the eMac one is heavy
I personally like the SNES version better now that I've played the Genesis version. The music is missing the zombie moaning sounds but other than that that's about it. Well I enjoyed playing the SNES version back in the days with my friend so I have a bigger bond with it.
* Madden NFL '94 cart for Sega Genesis $2 (I hate the game so I plan to use its case & board for a Genesis flash cart)
* Busted NES $2
* Atari XL12 Program Recorder NEW COMPLETE IN BOX $4 !!!
Neat!
Genesis flash cart. Will that be made like the nes one?
Give me flashcard for my birthday
Quote from: nurd on June 15, 2008, 03:48:32 pm
Genesis flash cart. Will that be made like the nes one?
Yep. And it'll be able to run tons of games since the Genesis doesn't have that 'hundreds of different mappers' thing the NES has. But OTOH it's a 16 bit system so it requires 16 bit ROMs (or two 8 bit ROMs in parallel).
that's BLAST PROCESSING !!!

Only if your birthday is on Feb. 29th ::)
My uncle's birthday is Feb. 29th
Also, I found a bunch of EPROMs inside of
"some old thing that added words to movies but was broken so I took it apart completely"
Yeah I've got a bunch of EPROMs too, in fact a box full of 'em. And building an EPROM burner is no great deal, but an EPROM eraser is a completely different thing. You cannot make one yourself, and they're pretty expensive (about 100 dollars around here), and without an EPROM eraser you can't reprogram those nice EPROMs you stole from old equipment :'(
Would the light from one of those Safety Glasses Disinfector things work?
Or does it need to be even more..um... exXtreem.. than that?
EDIT: BAARHG
http://www.qsl.net/iz7ath/web/02_brew/15_lab/05_canc/english/pag02_eng.htm
Also, If you need that crazy light to erase them, Why would they put stickers over the window?
The light from counterfeit bill detectors doesn't work
I don't really know what a Safety Glasses Disinfector is. Maybe?
Because the sun also emits that kind of UV, but very few of it gets to the Earth. But enough of it to erase an EPROM if left under sunlight for weeks.
Careful with that thing, it's dangerous to the skin & eyes!
THEN WE GO TO HE SUN AT ONCE.
They have these all over our school for some reason.
It holds like 30 pairs of Safety Glasses.
The inside walls are mirrored.
You close it, turn a nob, which locks the door and starts a timer for 30 minutes.
I'm pretty sure it shoots YEW-VEES at the glasses
If the thing locks up then probably it's that kind of YEW-VEES ;). Why not ask?
Because it's summer and the school is locked. :-\
I could probably find one at the university, though.
I will microwave one and see what happens.
UPDAYT:
I could see very bright blue sparks through the window. It was cool. Also, the glass has brown spots.
Microwaves aren't UV light, they're electromagnetic waves--UHF, SHF, & EHF. The safety goggle boxes probably sterilize the goggles with UV light.
I know its not UV, I just wanted to see what would happen.
Didn't the guy who invented microwave something die from radiation?
Also, that the Zyclon-B was invented by a Jewish guy?
I think that is Irony.

Where I live it's winter, so school == not locked.
Well actually, I could sneak in with the new summer band kids. The rooms are locked, though Oh well.
The lack of an EPROM eraser is the only thing stopping me from converting that pile of old EPROMs I have into custom carts and stuff.
A programmer can be built with $5 worth of parts. Erasing them is the real deal.

It will work once, then break into many small pieces.

Even if that's true (and it is) I'd totally get one. Here they cost a hundred dollars. But I don't have access to PayPal or any other international payment method :'(. But now I know where to get one when I find a way to pay for it. Thanks ;D
Seiken Densetsu 2 and Neugier for Super Famicom, both in mint condition. :D
Boxed Pole Postion Atari 2600($5)
Nintendo 64 with Mario 64 cart, 1 controller, AV cable & AC adapter $20 ;D
That's a good deal. I love the N64, I should break mine out.
Yeah, mario 64 can sell for up to $15.
Metal Gear Solid- Ps1-15.00
Evergrace II and Rogue Galaxy (PS2).

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
Who gave you 100 SFC games??? :o I want, too!
Very nice. :D
There is a seller on ebay who typically sells lots of 100 SFC (sometimes famicom) games, usually no dupes, for anywhere from $65-100. His shipping to North America is a little ridiculous (usually over $100 from Japan), but nontheless, it would still be around $2 a game.
Manuel, you could probably get pretty cheap shipping on them. :P
Either way, a very nice birthday gift!
I know where I can get them for cheap, but I want 'em free! ;D ::)
Shipping from Japan to the US just IS expensive. 100 carts weigh between 10 and 20kgs (depending on the carts.
Yeah I have only gone through 10 of the 100 but good stuff in there. If you are in Japan, they are sold for cheap. I have one cart that says 100 yen in it so yeah CHEAP!
Got Seiken Densetsu 4 and Kingdom Hearts for PS2 in a wagon sale on Sunday.
* DVI cable $2 (usually costs $20+) - Now I can feed digital video to my LCD monitor ;D!
* A bunch of other cables $2 (including some nice & thick RCA AV cable, I think it's coaxial)
* Wireless router with diversity antenna $5 (LAN ports are busted but I can replace them with the ones from an old hub)
Good day at the thrift store ;D
Wow you got some awsome deals.
Yeah about the router... it looked like somebody inserted a screwdriver into every LAN port and bent several pins outwards so I just thought better get a new connector, but with patience and a small pair of pliers I managed to straighten every pin ;D! Maybe I don't have to replace the connector after all :D.
just got this

It's kewl. There is actually blood in it ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh Crystalis is kewl too.
I am a huge fan of the NES Crystalis, but I heard they changed a lot of things with GB version. That kinda dissapointed me.
Yeah, they changed the music in the Crystalis GBC remake. Huge mistake.
Yeah also you can't buy the flute in the shop. I've been looking for that flute for a while now.....The NES version rocks!
Found Odama for Nintendo Game Cube still Brand new and sealed for only 10$ at EB games today. It's a really weird game and kinda hard to play though. :-[ Maybe i'm gonna like it more later in the game :P
That's the pinball one with the microphone, right? Looks really weird.
Yeah thats the one. The game is really hard, and the graphics aren't that great. If you zoom in towards the soldiers and look closely, they look even worse than playstation 1 graphics. :P
Sega Master System II $6
Astro Warrior cart $4
EDIT: Also a pirate FC multicart with the Harry Potter pirate in it, one dollar
I found a divers oxygen tank- FREE
The valve is worth like 10, and the tank is like 20 some dollars worth of aluminum, I think.
Yay.
Anubis Zone of the Enders Special Edition (PS2)
Kirby Tilt 'N' Tumble- Japan version- 4.95
The Elder Scrolls IV - Oblivion (Game of the Year Edition, PS3) for 48$, free shipping from play-asia. ;D

Is that a good deal?
I got a classic PSone controller for .50 cents
Ordered a lot of Saturn games. 8)
Pic comes when I get them.
I found these at the thrift store for 1 dollar. I have never found anything Famicom related in a US thrift store so this is a first. WOOT
(http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff280/luiszena/DSC00596.jpg)
I got Resident Evil:Code Veronica on Dreamcast today. I would have bought alot more, but the store was ridiculous.
Spitball Sparky G&W, Tropical Fish G&W, Chotto Shot for PSP (with camera), DS attachable speakers with rechargable battery, Peter Griffin key chain :P
Pulp Fiction Collectors Edition- about 10 dollars total
I found Mario 64, Kirby 64, and a near-mint LP of A Night at the Opera for ten bucks.
Happy day!
That was the second Queen LP I ever bought. Listening to the solo on "Bohemian Rhapsody" on vinyl is why I started playing guitar.
Awesome finds. I have yet to buy a N64. Well in the future if the money is right I'll do it. I'm recently awaiting the Donkey Kong Country pirate cart.
Went Goodwill hunting. Found River City Ransom and MetalStorm (by Irem). Been looking for those two for a while... 8)

Only the classic Metroid for GBA and the three gb carts in the front are new finds.
DKC pirate?
Yeah the cart in japan is called Super Donkey Kong and this one says Donkey Kong Country. There is not much changed from the original though. It feels like the US Donkey Kong Country version in a Super Famicom cart.
Pokemon Ruby v3. :D
I got a ridiculous N64 controller. Pictures to come.
I see a Final Fantasy VII box! ;D
Haha I didn't even realized that was showing. What else can you guys see in there?
Arcade Machine!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Will post pics later, that's for sure :D :D :D
SWEET! Details man, I need details.
I think it's every video game player's dream to have an arcade machine in their home...
Hell yeah it is. I want to see some photos too!
I'd like an arcade machine, too.
But all I've found so far are old slot and some pachinko machines. :-\ meh
I would love to have the first TMNT arcade machine. Man when I was young I wasted countless quarters on it....great stuff.
You could buy it now if you saved all the quarters. ;D :P
I wonder how much that one goes for? And how much could it have been when it was new?
hahahaha yeah well I have to conform myself with the mame emulator which is not that bad. I plug in four usb controllers and me and my friends go at it.
I wasted my quarters playing Tekken during one longggg summer. Funny how I don't even own that game now
Remember that I still have no camera :'(. I dropped mine a couple of months ago and have been without camera since then :'(
Anyway I'm going to buy the same one when some guy pays up the money he owes me :)
For starters, it's a black Video Robot machine. Bought it from some guy who was an arcade operator and was getting rid of his stock for pretty cheap. He was even kind enough to put it in his van and bring it to my house since it wouldn't fit in my car. :D
(http://www.retrogames.cl/imagenes/memo/vizz2.jpg)
Like these, but black.
Wow so kewl! I want one of those. hahaha it's funny how it says ficha on that vending machine.
I got some stuff today. Nothing too fancy really...

You may be able to lure Miyamoto into your house if you got a pachinko machine (he looooooves it)... then you could have him make games for you. :o
Who doesn't love Pachinko? It makes up 40% of Japan's yearly spending on entertainment. That's no chump change, just balls, balls as far as the eye can see! Ha!
It's Fuurai no Shiren 2.
To wentle: I don't like pachinko. I consider it waste of time, money and it makes you deaf. (Ever been in a pachinko hall? )
No, I've never been to one. I will whenever I finally visit Japan though. I don't exactly know why but I want a pachinko machine to have in my place. It just seems interesting to me.
Finally after a long time searching, I finally found one! ;D I finally bought a Sega Nomad system off of ebay with the ac adapter for only 16$! Can't wait to try this thing out! ;D
I got this off a girl who came into work not knowing we don't buy systems this old. I got the lot off of her for $10! My douche of a coworker tried to tell the lady it was worth $40. She cock clocks every deal anybody at work tries to make with a customer by telling them it's worth the highest price you've ever seen it go for on Ebay. Another girl at word was about to get Marvel Vs. Capcpm 2 (Dreamcast) for a couple of bucks when asshole steps up and says it's worth $200! Even my manager has told her to keep her mouth shut. her family is rich so she doesn't understand the concept of haggling and underpaying someone for something they would just throw back in the closet anyways.
Wow! Gave her a screwin' fo' sho'! ;D
wow great deal and damn I would spank that bitch of your co-worker real hard so she'll learn.
8) ohh yeahhh only way she'll learn man
If she wasn't do damn ugly I might but nothing could bring me to touch that! I think ugly is probably an understatement.
That's ok place a paper bag over her and imagine her being the perfect girl geek then let go of your hand ohhh yeahhh ;D
You guys are weird. :P
A Dreamcast VMU and a Saturn RAM expansion cart.
Pikmin 2- 8 dollars at family video. great deal. :D
WOw super deal! I'm still trying to track down a cheap copy of pikmin
Yeah, at this Rental place, they give some games this sticker that says that it is 99 cents, and I guess that each of those games can be bought for 7.95 or something :D
Also I got a Gamecube preview disc on ebay.
DOUBLE POST. :(
I got this LCD game (Like a Game & Watch) Almost new in box for like 3 dollars.
Gakken Circus- Is this a rare one?
Some girl came into work yesterday and gave me a mint black label copy of FF8 for free! And someone came in with a U.K. copy of Pheonix Wright: Ace Attorney so I got that.
New Find! I got a Silver Gamecube of some guy at work today for $10! The store couldn't take it cause the controller was trashed so I go it on the cheap. I'm gonna make it a bootlegging machine!!!
Sorry, not my intentions to double post but no one had posted since my last one. And I want to differentiate this find form my last one.
got all these today. :D

Nice Sega Master System games!
I've got Doom for the SNES and a Texas Instruments Speak & Math ;D.
I want a Turbografx just for Fighting Street, nice find.
*DEEP BREATH*
Resident Evil: Code Veronica X 5th Anniversery Edition with Devil May Cry Demo Disc
*GASHP*
Metal Gear Solid 3- like 9.30 8)
Now I only need Substance and Subsistence....and Snake's Revenge. And 4. And Essentials. And the Gameboy ones.
Just won a Sega Nomad on ebay. It's untested, but it was too good a price to pass up. I'll let you guys know how awesome it is when it arrives. ;D
EDIT: Got it today, really quick shipping. It WORKS! ;D $35 shipped for a working Nomad with AC adapter, AV cables, and manual.

Wow nice congrats on such a great find!
Just bought a PSP system from a guy at school for only 30$! It came bundled with the AC adapter and a couple of games. And the good thing about this is that I hacked to version 4.01 M33 on the same day using my pandora battery! ;D
$30 for a PSP, nice find!
NOt really a find, but..
AT one of the game places down the street, there is a guy who looks EXACTLY like Gordon Freeman from Half Life.
Imma ask fro a picture. :D
Phantasy Star IV for $2 ;D
Atari 2600 Jr, $2.99
Is that good? They don't seem to be worth much :-\
$2.99 is awesome. The 2600 Jr. is pretty rare, not as rare as the heavy sixer but more so than the standard woody.

AREN'T I CLEVER? ::)
No cords or anything, though. :(
Any games I should Get?
I am already sure to get
QuoteSwordquests
Pitfall
Adventure
Yar's Revenge
Pacman
Q-Bert
I see what you did there! LOL
Which Swordquest game are you getting? One of them is insanely rare and worth hundreds. I would recommend:
Pitfall 2
Donkey Kong
Donkey Kong Junior
Breakout
Space Invaders
Ms. Pacman
Popeye
Mario Bros.
I'm sure I'm forgetting a bunch.

Fireworld and Earthworld are pretty common, but It's Waterworld that costs a lot.
I don't plan on collecting atari stuff, just getting a few games that are fun to play
Try to get a 32 in 1 cart for your Atari 2600.
Unlike NES/Famicom multicarts, games are selected by dip switches on the cart itself or reset-based logic instead of a menu.

That's more common than you might think. I had a friend who looked just like him(including glasses) then I move across the country and my new manager at Game(stop looks exactly like him as well. Weird thing is these guys have the exact same personality as well.
Yeah, he even has the same glasses, too.
He shaved off goatee thing, though :(
Donkey Kong Country Competition Cartridge
Nice, how much was it?

More than I paid for Star Fox: Super Weekend, which doesn't make too much sense seeing as there seems to be more Donkey Kong Competition carts manufactured than Super Weekends. :-\
Well either way, they're both pretty damn rare.
I just scored NHL '94 for the Genesis complete in box at a thrift store for $2. I mean, COMPLETE. It still has the trading cards!

Bought and received a brand new Gameboy Pocket Camera for 10$ on ebay. I like how the error faces are different than the US versions. Still creepy looking though. :D

It's a gameboy cleaning cart. I never seen one before it looks like a pirate gameboy cart!
Mystical Ninja is an awesome game!
Yeah it's quite fun to play the game. I think there is a sequel to this game for the SNES as well.
Found a very weird looking controller in a Hardoff store.
(http://img152.imageshack.us/img152/1921/wtfyw2.jpg)
I couldn't figure out what the hell it was, so I bought it and later found out that it's a controller used for pachinko games.
It's used for that Pachinko board game huh? Interesting.
It's a pretty cool controller, haha. I use mine to play regular games :D. Anyways, the pachinko games made for that controller are:
-hucard
Pachiokun Juuban Shoubu
-cd
Pachiokun Maboroshi No Densetsu
Pachiokun Warau Uchuu
Pachiokun III - Pachisuro And Pachinko
There may be others, but those are the ones I'm aware of.
Thanks for the info.
If now I only was interested in pachinko. :D
You could be! Try the roms!
I'm jealous manuel. I've been wanting that controller and a game to play it with. Put it to good use!
I could always sell it to you. Maybe I could also find you a game for it.
Make an offer. :)
ummm I have the game buy it from meeee!!! LOL
got this sweet game

uhh sweet game. Show screens of gameplay!!
heres the awesome
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1by8bsVA_5M
Sweet stuff!
I found all this stuff at the thrift store for ten dollars. I was really psyched about the CDx which works great! I played some dragon's lair and Star wars chess game but man they suck ass! hahaha I decided to play Battletoads which is a game I already had. It's real easy to get extra lives in the second level unlike the NES version.
Here are some photos

I learned typing with Mavis Beacon on the Apple IIe, back in the day. ;)
Mario would have been a lot cooler.
That's weird it says ages 6-101... should have just wrote ages 6 and up? :D
Nintendo hates all of the 102 year olds trying to learn how to type with their typing game sequel! :D
haha that's really weird about that typing mario game. Where is the love for the 102 year olds??
The ESRB rating says K-A. They must've assumed adulthood ended at 101.
I was always interested in this:

I think we should find an excuse to ban people using that image as an avatar... seriously, I think this game's worse than Contra Force! This was before I found out Konami didn't even develop the game.
AWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! NO BAN ME !!!! AWAAAAAAAAAAAAA! Anyways, I played the game and hmmm it's not good or bad......wekekkekekekeke
Just won this on ebay; http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item=180310975704

Nope. It was released between the Gameboy Pocket and the Gameboy Color.
Then why didn't the Color have a backlit screen? (http://www.clicksmilies.com/s1106/fragend/confused-smiley-007.gif)

Nice finds! How much as the Famicom cart?
I bought it for a dollar.
Offer him 2$, that's a 100% profit. ;)
hahha no sorry this cart has some unique games like castlevania and qbert

I just watched a funny youtube video on the Barbie game a few days ago. It looks interesting. I think it may have been AVGN's review, but I'm not 100%.
Ah, Genesis Mortal Kombat. I know I played a game way too much when I can still remember the cheat codes.
A B A C A B B for blood...
down up left left A right down for the debug menu...
Good times ;D
Heheh yeah gotta love those codes. I ended up playing Mortal Kombat till late last night....
There was a debug menu accessible? :o
Maybe I should look for the Megadrive version...
I had an awesome day at the flea market and found some awesome stuff!! Check it out! I only spent 20 bucks for all of this well 19.50 because I got a game for .50 cents....

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
It says not for resale!
What is it? Demo? Promotion copy?
You got a PJ-001 cart! :o
Could you let us know what's on it? I think most of us have only seen the PJ-008 cart.
There isn't that much great stuff in it. It has a magic carpet game and some hacks. That's about it.
I think the SOR2 game came with a genesis that's why it says not for resale.
Hey I also found a Power Joy like that this year, but the thing didn't work. :-\ What games are on it?
Just went to my mail box and got my Gameboy Light. Seriously they should've released this thing here instead of the Gameboy Pocket! The screen is just great with the light on! :P
Nintendo... :P
Someone once referred to Nintendo as an autistic kid who solves a complicated mathematical problem then proceeds to fall down a flight of stairs.
Alright another wonderful day of findings. Blah I just went to gamestop and cleaned them out! I got all this for 16 dollars and some cents!

Wow! Wireless Sega controllers!? :o Never even knew such a thing was released by sega! :P
Yeah me neither but they work great! Sega was ahead of time man!
Believe it or not, Atari had wireless controllers for the 2600!! ;D
And I believe Acclaim released wireless controllers for the NES, didn't they?
Yeahp.
I have several wireless controllers for NES. They aren't that great, but they aren't awful.
Almost every console had their share of wireless controllers (either infrared or RF), but battery life and line of sight communication was always a disadvantage. In my opinion the first successful wireless controller was the GameCube WaveBird. 16 channels, lots of range and vastly improved battery life. Nintendo even played safe and published lower stats for its performance, in the real world the results were even better!
I have wireless controllers for the Famicom, but they don't function very well at all. Not very practical, but kinda cool nonetheless.
I have a wireless controller for the NES that works quite well. And it was indeed made by Konami.
Forever Blue (Wii) for 777Yen (sealed&new!). I love new year's sales. ;D
Alright found some more stuff today including Commander Keen Sealed and more gameboy games!

I've seen so many weird games like that (i.e Zombies Ate My Neighbors, or something like that.)
You should try this game out. It's the Super Mario of the DOS era....
What hell
Zombies Ate My Neighbors+ Keen?
MADNESS

Wonderboy 3 is by far the best game on the MS. Great find :)
Ah rats and I don't have a master system to try it out....
If you guys loved WonderBoy 3 on the Master System, then you HAVE to play the TurboGrafx-16/PC-Engine version! Seriously, it is awesome. It is called Dragon's Curse on the TurboGrafx-16 and Adventure Island on the PC-Engine. They both offer either password of save feature (Save feature requires a TurboBoosterPlus, Ten No Koe 2 or Duo). The Only differences between the TurboGrafx-16 and PC-Engine versions are the names and titlescreens. There is a HUGE difference over the Master System however. These including awesome grafx and sound ( some my prefer the master system's sound, I don't).

Wow awesome stuff! congrats!
I just remembered I have a Pokemon Emerald pirate cart for GBA.. I'll post pics once I find it..
The shell is black instead of, well, emerald..
The game plays exactly the same except for incorrect grammar, :"cussing", and a save feature that occasionally corrupts..
After I beat a random Team Aqua member, instead of saying whatever he should of said..he said (in all caps): "GODAMMIT WHAT HELL HOW HAPPEN??"
Speaking of pirate Pokemon games, I LOL'd so hard at this awesome crystal hack..plays exactly like the original except for the hilariously, poorly translated english text
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TtsZE3Jy0R8&NR=1
Man in Elm's lab: MR. JIZG! I GIVE YOU THIS FOR I TRUST YOU. BELIEVED YOU WILL USE IT!
JIZG RECEIVE DRUG
JIZG!DRUG BAG FUCK
I think it's just poorly translated.
I remember when that was the only Crystal rom ever :P
Oh yeah when pokemon gold was going to come out we would all wait for the translation patches to be released. It was a lot of fun playing halfway translated patches. Then the 100 percent one came out but by that time the game was already released here in the US.

I always wondered about the different rating systems of the world..
Why do you have to be T to play a Metroid game nowadays, but only Cero 12 in Japan?
OH YEAH, 'cause I'm in America
Got Animal Crossing: City Folk this last weekend :)
City folk's pretty good, I just wish they'd let you use a classic or gamecube controller.
I actually like the new controls better, they're alot simpler; Point & Click where you want to go.
I wish you could control the whole game with just the nunchuck.
What do you mean the whole game?
You can walk around with the nunchuk...
Man, ratings systems cause me no end of trouble, I've just had to get 2 games rated by the ESRB and PEGI. PEGI is a load of work, ESRB is even more ridiculous, they're like nazis now and rate the most stupid things teen, but enough of that.
Nice additions!! I just bought a NES powerpak which should have got here by now, will post a review when (if) it arrives :(

Yeah, the whole game. You can walk around, talk to people, pickup stuff, use tools (I think). You can do a lot without really pointing and moving. It's more relaxing that way.

Yeah, you said you wanted to get one later after you translated the Family Basic manual...
I spy a con artist! :D jk
Or he's just making enough of an excuse to get one :P
133MHz has it right. :D
I have 9 games for Wii already. All super cheap, so I couldn't pass on them.
I hope to buy a Wii soon... I wonder if I'll have the time to play it, though.

You will. But that's the problem, the Wii is enough of a gaming system to just play for long periods of time, but it's also a casual system :-\

Whew so many photos but they just accumulated from lack of updates. If you like those there is more in my blog "points at link in sign"
How much was that Legend of Mana?
I got it for 9.99
Is that Pandemonium game a pirate?
Yeah it's a pirate. It's pretty kewl because it's not a burnt cd but a manufacture cd with some Japanese words in it. hmm I'll take a picture of it to see if you guys can tell me what they mean.
Famicomfreak always finds the coolest stuff. ;)
woot I do? 8)
Yeah, you always have nice stuff on the finds page.
BTW, you still want that pirate you asked me about?
Oh yes I do I'm making some sales and will have the monah shortly.
Okily dokily!
Thanks.

If you're looking for the JP release of Pandemonium, it was released there as a different title - 'Miracle jumpers' with different graphics and stuff. So you that's a bit of a giveaway in itself :)
I only know cos I had to do some work for it last year, the miracle jumpers version looks way nicer imo.
Wow kewl didn't know that. I'll try and pick up a copy in the future.
Here's some stuff I got at the Pawn Shop that just re-opened in our town :)
Starfox and Super Punch-Out!! (Both very good games)

A Pac-Man Coleco tabletop!

And some 3D Glasses for the Super Bowl commercials!! (And Tobidase Daisuken for that matter :P)
(http://i423.photobucket.com/albums/pp320/nintendodork1/Other%20Games/SDC10313.jpg)
Got it all for $15! (The glasses were free)
EDIT** Pac-Man doesn't work :'( I can get sound just fine, but no picture..I think I'll open it up and see what the problem is (Any help is gladly accepted.)
Wow awesome stuff! Super Punch out is great!
Just got two Firetron Superballs.
And damn do they bounce
You should make a video. I've always heard Superballs are amazing, but I never believed it because..well..it's just a bouncy ball..
Some thrift store finds. PC games too!!

There's only one of me.... I think I'm at least worth 2, if not 3 of JC's friends. :P
IS THAT WHAT THOSE CLONING TANKS WERE FOR? You told me we were cloning sheep!
Exactly ;)
Well enough of this off-topic-ness...'

Sorry I can't trade JC's friend. He's kinda cool. :D Speaks German a bit, too. (Lots of bonus points for that)
Ok, well if you give me JC's friend...in addition to Rogles, I'll throw in...a FAMICOMFREAK!! Think of all the great awaas you'll share :P
But does it come with a Mario 8 cart? ::)
I feel objectified... literally. :P

And please come back to topic until JC gets home to check on FW. ;)

Yup, and such a flashy auction page just for a NES RF switch ::)
i know... But i needed a cheap RF switch. so I bought a cheap RF switch.
A/V mods FTW

Man you should have told me I have like 10 extra RF switchs and would have sold it for real cheap too.
Yeah you got ripped off man. I've gotten RF switches for free.
I had a WTB thread...
The last find I got was a CIB Macross Scrambled Valkyrie for the SFC for 28 bucks.

It probably got buried before anyone could see it, you needed to bump it :P
Found these for $5 each today.

Yes you should have bumped it. Anyways, if you ever break another one Famicom Freak will bail you out!

You're correct.
I have high hopes in this game.
All I need now is the PSP to play it. (released on March 5)
Well I got these at the flea market today. I'll post my nes finds here as well because I'm too lazy to post in the other thread. I spent 40 bucks total on these wonderful games.

Nice SMB guide! ;D
Bowser looks like a duck!
I did something weird and ordered a white PS3 five minutes ago. 40GB model, 25% price cut. ;D
For slightly under 300$ I couldn't resist any more.
Ordered Little Big Planet together with it.
I already own Ratchet & Clank and Oblivion, so I hope I find the time to enjoy all those. :D
I thought Bowser was a horse-ish mule at first :P

Prinny - Can I really be the Hero? (PSP)
(http://image4.play-asia.com/640/7s/pa.140304.2.jpg)
Then I preordered Dragon Quest IX and Game Center CX (the special edition with DVD) on amazon.
This just arrived for me this morning:
http://www.blogcdn.com/www.nintendowiifanboy.com/media/2008/11/zelda-statue-cn-cg-nov19-nb28b9.jpg
Awesome man!
Assholes delivered a bashed about box though! Actually it's quite a nice statue, it's really weighty and sprayed nice, I had impressions that it'd be a small cheap tacky spray painted plastic thing. It's really big and quite heavy actually, not bad at all.
Supposed to be rare, but I just found out that Nintendo Europe gave away a ton of these to print and online press magazines! There's only 3800 though in total and mine is at the 3100 mark so I guess they'll be running out soon!
It was the most expensive prize in the European Club Nintendo.
What's the most expensive item in Japan? In the U.S...
It's G&W Collection ::)
In Japan I'd say it's the limited famicom coloured GBA SP, unless you can suggest something else Manuel?
That GBA was not a regular prize, as far as I know, so that shouldn't count.
The most expensive regular prize right now is a thing called "Star Tenbillion" (?).
It's 650 points.
http://club.nintendo.jp/member/present/itempop_01.html (http://club.nintendo.jp/member/present/itempop_01.html)
Here's a page with the other presents:
http://club.nintendo.jp/member/exec/entranceNaviPrivilege (http://club.nintendo.jp/member/exec/entranceNaviPrivilege)
ONLY 650 POINTS???
Are points equal to coins? Because if they are...that's messed up :P
I think the points and coins systems are different. In Europe it's stars and again very different.
Yeah...
What is the Point system?
In the U.S, 30 Coins per DS game, and 50 coins per Wii game. 1 Coin equals roughly one dollar.
I explained it a bit in this thread:
http://www.famicomworld.com/forum/index.php?topic=2823.15 (http://www.famicomworld.com/forum/index.php?topic=2823.15)
Points depend on the SRP of the game.
All items were purchased together at a Estate Sale for 35 Dollars in one box.

Is that...a Street Fighter headband...? :P
if it is I'll wear it everywhere!
It sure is. It came with pre-orders of sf4. I got one for free by attending Capcom's sf4 launch event the other week. 8)
I got some cool street ighter 4 pins a colleague gave me that capcom just sent him in the post, he gets all sorts of free stuff sent from when he was a journo - I'm after his megaman 9 kit :P
DJDAC is tenchu 4 good? I hate that Ubisoft gave them all american voices I hope that Japanese audio is still an option.. I've read reviews but I's appreciate your feedback more!
I doubt they would put Japanese in the American release... since only a small percentage of people in the U.S know Japanese :-\
with subtitles my friend, they did it in the previous two if I remember correct. Plus the Japanese version was made first, the work is done and it's kind've easier from a coding point of view.
If you can't have it in Japanese , that is a huge oversight of them and I will kill my friend at Ubi if that's the case!!
Game Center CX 2 8)
Special edition with cool Famicom-themed packaging and bonus DVD. Woohoo. ;D

Do you need a coupon? I have one for 5$ off of orders over 50$.
pm me if you need it.
Made some nice scores from Play N Trade in Richmond, VA
Dungeon Explorer and Android Assault/Bari Arm (Sega CD)
Cross Fire (Genesis, for anyone that's never heard of this game before, this is another video game adaption of the TV show "Airwolf", as it's called Super Airwolf in Japan)
Shining the Holy Ark (Sega Saturn)
PS. The Holy Ark cover is a photocopy.
(http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a13/Oldschoolage/Finds220.jpg)
The newest addition to my console family.
I love the white color.
(http://i374.photobucket.com/albums/oo190/famicom_manuel/FWfinds/ps3.jpg)
BTW, this is not the screen I play on. Too tiny. This was just to set up the internet connection and a first test.
Beautiful!
Is it still a fingerprint magnet?
Fingerprints don't show that much on white stuff. Also, I usually don't touch it that often. :D
I'm loving that white PS3.
AWesome that PS3 looks awesome!!
Yeah, it's great. I like it a lot more than the black one.
One thing that bugs me though is that it won't play my PAL-DVDs. :-\ They're region 2, same as Japanese, but it won't play them, because they're PAL. >:( Hoping for a firmware update here.
When is the white one supposed to come out in the U.S? If I ever got a PS3, I would get a white one to match my Wii, Famicom, DS, etc.
I would hang on for a PS3 slim if I were you.
Hmm...
Or wait for a price drop :D
Yeah price drop soon, real soon apparently. But bear in mind big price drops usually come before a new hardware 'thing' like a new colour, a re-design, a new peripheral, that kinda stuff.
At the end of the day, if you want a PS3 there's not a bad time to buy one, just maybe there's a best time.
A slim one would be cool.
It's quite a hunk right now.
Well, either way...it'll be a little while before I buy one...
At their current price, $500 is a little too expensive for a 13-year old :P
I think my Famicom is all I need :P I just spent about $50 on it, so, like I said...it'll be a while

There's a company that are selling NEW intellivision games for cheap by the way - google will find - I thought of buying a couple cos the box art is intense, but I decided to stay true to my famicom limit. When I say cheap I mean a few bucks each, so cheaper than you'll find on used stores by lots.

Genesis games for .95 cents each
(http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff280/luiszena/DSC00547.jpg)
NES games also .95 cents each
(http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff280/luiszena/DSC00548.jpg)
Got these Guitar Hero games for 11 dollars at circuit city. I bought two so that I can sell one and get my money back and of course keep the other one har har
(http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff280/luiszena/DSC00549-1.jpg)
The girl at the cashier register couldn't find the barcode for this guide so she let me have it for free. Can't beat that!
That's about it. I have pretty much sold all the genesis games and NES games already thanks to my friend who owns a retro game store and needed them for his shop. I did keep the ones I don't have but I already got my money back that I spent and a little more har har har. Enjoy!
I was thinking about getting a SSBB guide, but then I beat it the next day :P
Awesome you got all that stuff at Circuit City! Too bad they're closing and all :-\
I found this today for 2€50 each
(http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m51/Corentin3/minifamicom.jpg)
I know they're not of the best quality but I think they're sweet anyway. You can even pull out the mini cartridges (SMB3 and Donkey Kong) as well as the pads on the AV famicom :D
That is so awesome!
Oh yeah, I have small Twin Famicom somewhere...
http://shishimaru.nomaki.jp/stuff/miniature.htm (http://shishimaru.nomaki.jp/stuff/miniature.htm)
For $20 I got a (probably) non-working Sega Genesis + 20 CIB games including Ristar, Boogerman, Earthworm Jim 1 & 2, 6-Pak (mint), Tinhead, Puggsy and some others I can't remember offhand.
Flea market time!
- SNES $5
- NES-like Famiclone $2
- Famicom pirate cart $1
- ZX Spectrum $4
- 7" car LCD screen (missing screws) $3
- Compaq LCD monitor (missing AC adapter and cables) $6
I'm gonna have a great time testing all the stuff out ;D
wow looks like your weekend is set 133!
What's the pirate got on it?
Oh, forgot about the pirate!
I'm gonna try it right now ;D. It's probably nothing special though.
EDIT: Too bad I was right, the games on the cart are nothing special: SMB, Track & Field, Duck Hunt and Galaxian. The label says it's got a Pokemon game when there's none!. The only remotely interesting stuff on it is Dream Mary and Moon Mario, a SMB hack with low gravity.
Got a free usb charger for my GBA/DS (charges the handheld via USB) from Circuit City. It was supposed to be $3, but the clerk just gave it to me for nothing.
I found Sonic CD at a yard sale for $2
It works perfectly!!!
Ah Sonic CD I'm still looking for that game. I heard it's the best sonic ever!
Found these today at a second hand store. As you can tell, the Pokemon Snap and South Park labels are kinda messed up.

It's funny, I'm eating Domino's pizza right now...and I just saw your post :P
Yo! Noid is actually a pretty good game. I didn't think much of it at first, but I kept coming back to it and getting about 1 or 2 levels further each time (It is kind of like Contra in that respect, as it seemed quite hard at first, and eventually I could beat it with no Konami code with no problem).
Picked these up today at the thrift store. 2 dollars for the mario games and 95 cents for syphon 2
(http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff280/luiszena/DSC00583.jpg)
I LOVE SMBD, it's the greatest collection of Mario games and misc. EVER :P
Yes I love the fact that it has Super Mario Bros 2 as well in it!
Yeah, the only bad part is; it's a little easier..Nintendo put more 1-Ups and stuff in it like they did in SMAS
I beat the HECK out of that game. A bunch of times.
I went to play it again a few months ago, and the battery was dead and my saves and records and stuff lost :(
I'm weird like this, but once a battery in a game dies, I don't play the game again, I will try to find another one, and play THAT one instead.
Got Dragon Quest for MSX

Alright that's all for now. Lets just say I didn't paid more than 2 dollars for each of these items......most of them were 1 dollar har har har
Wow! Great finds FamicomFreak.
Hey, I didn't purchase anything last time (except a wonderswan and a famicom) But... I got two philips in2it from my father...
I got this from a site about it:
In 1996, Philips of Netherlands designed a handheld & electronic organizer device mainly aimed to be "an educational but fun tool for girls". About a hundred of these were manufactured and given out internally at Philips for testing. Also known as Philips KidCom. About 5 of these were used in Finland in a study about what children think about using a device for something like messaging and other things.
Do you guys think its very rare? My father worked for philips holland so... We have 2... If it is rare... I have one that doesnt work. Can someone then help to fix it?:P THANKS! ;D
Nice Challenge Set SMB3 FamicomFreak! Does the PowerGlove work?
Djdac, how does that Mario Power Tennis play? I've been debating on whether I should get one of those GAMEPLAY CONTROL remakes.

Wow! Great finds FamicomFreak.
Seriously...holy &^$*ing crap for what he got them for :o Only time I've ever gotten anything for under $2 that was worth a bit more than some of those games was my fantastic shape Mermaids of Atlantis (surprising because it was at a Play'n'Trade store and not a flea market).
Heh thanks guys but the power glove need the receiver to work with. I'll have to buy one sometime in the future or keep a look out for them in the flea market.

The controls are not as good as tennis in wii sports. But they are definately not bad. You can adjust the controls as well in the game. I'd say if you really love playing tennis on the wii you should get the game.
Got a free Vectrex from a friend. He tested it last week, but it's not working now :(
I'm afraid to try and fix it since I don't want the CRT to kill me.
It's easy to discharge a CRT. First, unplug the tv. ;) Next, take an insulated flat head screwdriver and attach a lead from it to the metal housing on the tv (but no to any logic boards). Slide the screwdriver under the anode cap until it touches the anode aperture and, once it sparks, you've discharged it. It's always a good idea to keep an ongoing lead in place under the anode cap while you're working since CRTs have a tendency to re-charge themselves. There are youtube videos and text documents online showing/explaining how to do this safely. Give it a try! :)

Sweet finds. Due to the flea market and work I missed the sale but they come every three months or so. I'll keep an eye out for the next one.
Found a box in that pawn shop....
Didn't buy all of it, but I got all the good stuff ;)
(http://i43.tinypic.com/ebbsb8.jpg)
(http://i40.tinypic.com/2ep3csm.jpg)
I also got Fester's Quest CIB along with stuff above for $10 flat
Pitfall II is great but hard as fuck.
Definitely a step up from Pitfall ;D Just a little practice and you'll get it
A thousand thanks, oh god of games he just bought :P.
Yeah 8)
I've wanted this game for a while...it's the only game I played on Stella for the longest time.
Got a Doki Doki Panic guide.
(http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3566/3361599613_427c3983b1.jpg)
Was the show that DDP was based off of real action or animated?
I found a crab claw and a bunch of shells at tha beach.
Kewl guide!
Okay...I got this game at the PS desert in New Mexico today...and I want to warn all of you...
It rocks....
Drumroll please!
*drumroll*

WAAAAAAAA
LOL I love ET! It's torture but it hurts so good.
People say it's the worst game in history...it's not the greatest game ever, but it's nowhere near the worst game ever. Besides, it's for a freaking 2600! What's expected?
Awesome finds dork you have yourself a nice little gem. I myself found a gameboy sp for 10 bucks and these four NES games for a dollar each at my local thrift store.

Speaking of GBASP...
My friend traded his to another friend for a corndog :P
Nice finds though! :D
Where do you guys find these stores? I want to have cheap finds.
Check on google and type in your city and thrift stores after it. There should be sites showing stores near your area.
Found a Panasonic microwave oven that somebody threw away near my house.
I brought it home to discover that the digital timer was completely dead... but the rest of the oven was fine.
So I rewired it to work with a standard toggle switch :).
So now I have a spare microwave.... 'Is it a good idea to microwave this?' anyone? ::) ;D
Got this at the PS today! Whole lot for $25 ;D

And...

June 2000; emulation will work!
Glad you joined the Dreamcast club, can't help you though, as I don't know anything about the tech side of it.
Clean it :X
The console? How would I do that safely?
/\ An automatic disk resurfacer is a worthwhile item to have...the hand crank ones are a pain and don't work nearly as well (and leave more/uneven resurface marks).
EDIT: Thought you meant the disks had scratches or crap on them.
Hello again I got new stuff!

I can't get this game started after I pick my party. I don't know what to do but I'll check out some youtube videos to see how to start the game.
That's all for now!
Been A while since I updated finds so heres from the last 3 times

Hmm Picture was suppose to be bigger. Okay I got 3 Mickey Mouse Games. Vectorman. Rocket Knights, Batman Forever, Boogerman,Captin America ,Altered Beast, Gunstar heroes, Cool spot and NBA jams.
None of these games cost more the 2.50. I've been on a sega bender lately.
My first Neo Geo game in 5 years
(http://www.videogamecollectors.com/gallery2/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=301278&g2_serialNumber=2)
Gunstar Heroes rocks! Nice pick ups!
Just got back from bike riding.
I bought an adapter that I can use for Super Famicom games on SNES, Super Mario World for Super Famicom, and Megaman 2 for gameboy.
I found GoldenEye 007 at a thrift store for 50 cents.
Now all I need is a N64... :P
I got Pokemon Platinum today. It's much better than I expected. A few minutes in the game, I already noticed several cosmetic changes, and there are a few new characters in addition to the extra gameplay (Battle Frontier, etc.) and added storyline.
EDIT** Pic:
(http://i44.tinypic.com/k2lpi9.jpg) I also got Sonic Adventure 1 + 2 today in the mail. They feel so...right.. being played on a Dreamcast instead of a Gamecube :P It's so cool that there was a system that was made in 1998 and was better than one made in 2001

Jet Force Gemini! What a great game.
I heard that it was good, but I don't really like it :-\
I think it's one of the best on the N64.
Yeah I was playing it today for a little bit. It's a lot of fun but since I don't have much experience with 64 games I can't get used to the controls. I will with practice.
Got these today...
(http://i44.tinypic.com/13zvclx.jpg)
I got the AR at Walmart for $15 and the G&W Collection came in the mail today. I like how they have the original manuals inside the G&WC manual.

Also found a surveillance camera for $2. Looks good, but I have no idea about how to use it ::)
I went to the flea market and had a bitch of a time(long story) so I wasn't able to get much stuff so here is what I got.....

I wish I could have stayed longer but not this time. Hope you guys enjoy the photos.
Today I picked up a Sega Dreamcast with two controllers, hookups and a bunch of games for really cheap, so now I can say I'm the (proud?) owner of a Dreamcast. You can let me in to the club now ;D.
It didn't read any discs at first, but after a quick laser recalibration and greasing the moving parts it works flawlessly :D!
BTW is it normal for the drive to be HORRIBLY LOUD when reading and seeking?!
Yeah, mine's pretty loud when it loads discs too...I think it's normal :P
Congrats on getting one! When was it manufactured?
March 2000. It was the first thing I checked ;D
Awesome :) Tell me if you get ROMs actually working...
Yeah Dreamcasts are about as loud fax machines or 56K modems.
the latter of which they have built in! rofl!
On an unrelated note, I found a LaserDisc player today.
Now I just need LaserDiscs. And a place to put the player, it's absolutely enormous.
I have a tron laser disc I cannot play because I don't have a laser disc.. I'd be glad to let go of it lol
Oh yeah? How much? It doesn't get more retro-geek than Tron on LaserDisc. :P

I got mine for $4.50.
Loose or CIB? Mine is CIB...and it was cheaper than some loose ones I saw.
I think I paid around $12-$15 for my dreamcast keyboard new in box from a local import store. I'm happy with my purchase. 8)

No, you read right, 80 Yen. Or around 80cents at today's rate. :D
I know somebody that got an Atari ST for a dollar because the seller thought it was a broken PC keyboard (he had huge stacks of them). Talk about lucky ::)
man I saw this dreamcast keyboard at the flea market a couple of times cib and it was for 5 bucks. I don't know if that was a good deal or not but blah.
For 5$ it's definitely not a bad deal. That is, if you're going to use it. If it's going to collect dust, then I don't know. :D
(http://i41.tinypic.com/o5uvsl.jpg)
It's fun :) I got it for free because of the games I bought at the PS last time that didn't work!
Got this from a friend today for free:

I'm so happy! I finally got to play Typing of the Dead ;D
Hey, don't knock those Windows 95 Tonka games. I played those all the time.
Oh, and nice job getting a Dreamcast keyboard. Good luck getting a mouse, that took me much longer to find than the keyboard.
I don't want a mouse...I have no intention of surfing the net on that thing...since I have my own laptop. I pretty much got the keyboard just so I could play TotD :D

How do you like your new DSi?
I don't have a picture, but my friend/colleague bought a fresh UK DSi on Friday, so I bought his nice 2 month old Japanese white one for.. £50, that's only $75!
Ok so I can't play any DSi carts yet but seeing as there aint any I'll manage - it might be useful for when/if I can unlock it or if there's a really great piece of Japanese downloadable software I can put on it or something.
Failing that I might mod it / paint it or plain just play DQ5 on it. I've still got my regular DS lite for homebrew etc.

I don't have a working DS lite right now, do you think it would be worth it to get a DSi? Or should I get another DS lite?
I would say it all depends on what you use it for. If you buy games legally and are a nice person who only uses it for that, get a DSi, if you buy games legally but also like playing gameboy games on emulators etc and other homebrew (like me) then get a regular used DS lite and take advantage of the amount of trade ins appearing at present. If you want a DS to keep playing pirated games on an R4 card or similar device, they won't work on a DSi and although one will pop up sooner or later it's not really a valid option right now.
I think the downloadable software for DSi has the potential to be really exciting, let's see.
One thing I thought would have been fun to see on the DSi is a GB Camera skin for the camera
I'm pissed they dropped the GBA slot, but if I had to choose over that or SD, it's SD for sure.
It would be nice to take pitures in gameboy dot matrix green screen style ;)
They dropped the GBA slot? that sucks!
Technology needs to go forward, my friend.
I don't see you bitching around because they dropped the ISA slot on your PC motherboard :P.
Ugh, I can't get a DSi now.

hahah good point
If, and this is a big If.. IF, they are releasing the entirety of DS games as downloadables (which I have heard that they are) then they may also be releasing GBA and GBC or even GB games as virtual console downloadables too. I'd love to see game gear games on my DSi but I think that may be stretching it. All the C64 and MSX games would work perfectly though (I think these are really nice as emulators on DS with the keyboard on the bottom screen!) and these could be very easy to swap over. Although Wiiware isn't all as successful as Nintendo would like to think of it, if they conglomerated Wiiware and DSiware along with virtual console they'd have something way, way better than XBLA and PSN put together I think.
Nintendo have this up their sleeve I think, they've rebranded all the Wii points too so that they can market them for DS apps/games, now called just Nintendo points.
Like I said, this is a big if but in my opinion they have to do that to keep up with what Sony has planned. I trust what I hear as it's always bang on, I have to watch what I say though for obvious reasons.
I don't think people have actually realised it yet, but DSi is going to become very popular in the next 6 months, way more than just an upgraded DS because of the software, but time will tell of course :)
For that I'd reccommend waiting to anyone who's not sure. Pre-orders are making it difficult to get one at the moment anyway but give it a month or two if you ask me and things should look a lot brighter for the DSi.
I'm going to wait and see but I think either way I'll buy it anyways. I hope that playing gbc and gameboy games thing is true. That would be neat.
That's not something I heard, it's just something I guessed, but I think it's a big missed opportunity if they don't. Anyone ever play Metal Gear solid on GBC? That's what metal Gear NES SHOULD have been like, that's one exploitable right there - think of all the mario land, pokemon and all the famicom ports that made GB and GBC a success then add the whole GBA library, seeing as they removed the slot it makes total sense to have a 100% back compat machine I reckon.
The only thing I'm not sure of is the licesnsing. All or most of the publishers that did games on DS are still around to do deals with, but the GBA and even older than that? We could definitely see old Nintendo games but I'm not sure about all the others from a business point of view.
I'm just speculating!
Instead of a DSi, I got Batman: Mask of the Phantasm on LaserDisc. today.
Wh, what is that exactly? Can we see pics, screens? sounds interesting!!
You mean a LaserDisc? It's pretty much an oversized DVD...they're pretty cool http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laserdisc
Dsi is awesome, I'm posting this message from it!
Make sure to upload a distorted picture of yourself sometime :D
lol, I meant the title ND, I know about laserdiscs ;)
So, I looked up Batman and it's just the actual animation, that didn't cost the same as a DSi did it? I hope not!!
Nah, it was $8. :D
Pretty good movie, can't see why it was such a flop when it came out.
I got some stuff on the mail(Game Gear Games) and some stuff at the thrift store(Genesis games + N64 Game)

Not here, Sonic 3 is incredibly rare and expensive, while Sonic 1 and 2 can be found anywhere for dirt cheap. And unfortunately, the people selling it for cheap on eBay most likely won't ship it outside the US :-\.

If you need a hookup I can get you a copy. I don't actually have one myself but it's not hard to find.
Cheap ebay finds, about $2 each.

Got this on eBay... Apparently that Final Fight Guy game is worth something, but it seems the seller doesn't know that since he gave attention to Zelda as if it were special when FFG is more rare and valuable (going by eBay sales). It's been about 12 years since I've owned a Super Nintendo and I wanted to have at least Zelda. I expect to sell FFG and trade in or sell the other games as a lot.

It's okay...you don't have to be afraid X3
Not pictured above: the massive multi-language user manual that takes up half of the box and weighs more than the DSi itself.
:D You're right! The operations manual is printed very professionally, but only the first 108 pages out of the 330 pages in the book are in English. It feels heavier, but it's actually more thin than the DSi when compared side by side.
Even the quick start guide is fairly bigger than I thought it would have been. Nintendo didn't even need to make it..because the DSi tells you how to use the camera when you first start it up.
[Info that was below moved to DSi thread]

I never played it on Saturn so I can't tell you, even at that I doubt it
but this looks and plays like Breath of Fire (3/4 view battle scenes)
SNES:
From Digital Press: SNES with av cable and ac adaptor and 1 controller.
From Mackey: Super Mario World 1 & 2, Star Fox, Donkey Kong Country, and Super Mario RPG
From Play N Trade: Super Gameboy and Super Mario All Stars

life is good!
I just got a Turbo Duo, a Turbo Grafx, and 8 games (including parasol stars, air zonk, and legendary thunder) off of Craigslist for $80. YAY!
^ That's a great deal! I'm jealous! :D
That really was a nice deal.
I wish there was something like Craigslist in Japan. And if there already is, I'd like to know about it. :D
If not, maybe you could start it and call it Manuelslist.org :D
That might actually be a business chance. :D
Maybe something like that could really take off here.
Look what I found. A Pacman t-shirt. 8)

I can't believe how many variations of one kind of shirt there is...
I have a shirt somewhat like that. the four ghosts are enlarged and on the front, and Pac-Man is on the sleeve
There is Craigslist in Japan. Think it's meant for English speakers, so don't know how many things you would find.
http://geo.craigslist.org/iso/jp (http://geo.craigslist.org/iso/jp)
Oh, and I got a bunch of C64 stuff this weekend, all awesome.
In fact, Tokyo is in the list of cities on the regular Craigslist website.
craigslist is already in Japan. :o Bummer!
But almost nothing's in there. And then, I looked for something around Hiroshima and found an ad for a restaurant in Hawaii. ??? WTF?
Yeah, I searched "Famicom" in English and Japanese and neither came with any results....
But then I searched "NES" in English and got a bunch of results...and they were in Japan...
new stuff from play n trade!

I love how on SF64, the only thing you can really see is one of the bosses..and that's not what the game is even about XD The Arwing is covered up by the lazy rating :P
I still have yet to beat Venom (Hard) on Expert... I've come pretty darn close, but until recently I never tried to even unlock Expert mode.
Picked this up for $100au which is about $69 us dollars super ufo pro7 32mb its a game copier for the super nintendo very simple to use just download snes roms copy to floppy disk and load in the super ufo ive also found using the copier the games play faster,you can really notice the difference between the carts and the copier the super nintendo is actually a pleasure to play games on now :-)
The Yard Sale gods smiled upon me again... I found one great deal and what I found out was a rariety with a amusing tale to tell.
The first item found was a dreamcast complete with 4 controllers, two memory cards and 7 games [mostly sports football, baseball, basketball with a racing game mixed in] in a box for 18 $ , I'm really happy to have this machine as it's been kinda championed as a unsung console, I am sure a bountiful library will follow.

the next grab bag was indeed in a bag, a ratty Kroger bag, and when I spotted it, I didn't even know what I was holding, I never heard of this system ever. after purchasing the bag and all it's contents for a nice %$ price tag I came home to do some research..

When I was a kid, a friend of mine had an Aquarius. It's a real POS. Cool that you found one, though. I have some fond memories of playing with it.
Night Stalker is one of my favorite games on the Intellivision. How's the Aquarius version?

That's cool. I bought a Game Doctor SF7 from ToToTEK last year but I never really used it... I ended up selling it because I needed some money. Unfortunately I never got to use it for ROMs, which is kind of a bummer. I had to order a power cable and I didn't have floppies/parallel cables to copy games onto the system.
Just got this incredible game. Came with a awesome fold out poster.

It is based on the number of steps you take after sitching your pokemon ith an item. Also, each town only has one door that activates the glitch i believe.

That is one cool Classic Controller. ;D
The dragon looks really nice on it.
The wire position would drive me nuts. It took me a little while to get used to the right side positioned wire on my Famicom. Though it also took me a little while to realize I could move freely without worrying about yanking something when I got my PS3 with the wireless controllers :P
You'll get used to the wire pretty fast. It's no big deal.
Haha, I didn't have any problems with the PS3 controller. I enjoyed its wireless goodness from the first second. :D
As Manuel said, you get used to it fast. It's really not a problem since it's connected to the wiimote. And I usually lay the wiimote on my lap or next to me while using the classic controller.

The wire position would drive me nuts.
The Dreamcast is the same way... although, it has a little notch where you can re-route the wire to go out of the top instead of the bottom.
But it still goes under...which is why I found that little notch to be pretty pointless.
My most recent video game related finds:

Rucksack is also an English word.

I just recently picked up the following from Play N Trade:
Road Runner (It was Tengen, so why not, my first Tengen cart buy) with NES sleeve
Game Genie
SMB, Duck Hunt, Track Meet with NES sleeve
Mario Is Missing (Curiosity sake)
Paper Mario
Later I'm gonna trade in my regular SMB cart for a quadri sports cart (the one with the funny switch on the back.
Edit: Well, Mario is missing is pretty bad, I don't understand it. So I got one more game in its place and some things on the way:
I got my first and last Camerica game: Quattro Sports (switch is interesting)
On the way: 3.8 and 4.5 game bits
Bible Adventures

That's a nice assortment of games. Good call on Umjammer lammy. Have you tried Parappa the Rapper?
hell yeah Parappa the rapper rocks!! Umjammer Lammy is great as well!
All right, guys. I just got back from a big shopping district in a city about 45 minutes away...which is where I was since noon...and I'm posting stuff in this and the NES Finds threads. This is all the other stuff I got
Games:

Japanese things:

Yes, that thing in the bottle is a marble. I'll bet Manuel has seen all of this stuff before :D The text on the strawberry gummy candy is hilarious. And all the candy inside is individually wrapped! How fancy is that?
DOMO
I approve of all of your purchases.
Ramune is nommy :3
Yes, yes it is. They had three flavors; strawberry, melon (which is what I got), and then they had one that was all clear, and the label was blue..and it just said carbonated beverage. So I have no idea what it was. This wasn't post worthy, but I also got some chocolate cookie dough bites :P
Lamune is great. The marble is a very nice touch. I'll have lots of Lamune in the festival season this year. ;D
English text on Japanese stuff is hilarious in most cases. i'm used to it by now, but sometimes even I think, WTF??!! Hire a proofreader or a real translator, guys! :P
You better send me some of it. It was $3 for a single bottle where I got it :( AND IT'S SO DELICIOUS
And the strawberry candy made me feel welcome. It tells me to "Please enjoy the strawberry gummy, it is delicious."
Out of the few I have had, Original (That is the clear one with blue label) and Melon are the best flavours.
How many different flavors are there? Also, what does Original taste like? I imagine it would taste something like Sprite, maybe?
there are likes tons of flavors XD
It's kinda like sprite? But with like a fruity, almost bubblegum flavor.
Did you buy it at World Market? That's where I've seen it
I have never heard of World Market before. XD
I got it, as well as the rest of the stuff in that pic at a store in Von Maur (anyone?) I forgot the name of the store though..it was something Entertainment. Half the store is Japanese stuff (Anime, manga, etc.) The other half is just general movies and collectible junk. But the only edible Japanese stuff they had was the stuff I got..and Roasted Peas 0_o
EDIT** Apparently, Target likes Domo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fF_FaD9ZCdE
I've seen those products at Chinese grocery stores, Uwajimaya, Fubonn, and World Market, among other places. I've never bought them, though.
In a couple of days I'll have this original white PC Engine with AV Booster, I have to de-yellow it

How do you de-yellow something ???
Hydrogen Peroxide + Oxy Clean™ laundry booster
I'd be interested in seeing pictures of the de-yellowing process.
Pics would be great.
They could make up for a nice tutorial.
Yeah! My SNES is a little bit yellowed...

All three of them are fun.
Starfox64 is my favorite of the whole series
I can tell ;)
It's a fun game. It has lots of improvements over the first one. I like the shooting ones more than the RPGish ones. Starfox is not a RPG
Picked up a copy of Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis (DS). I had been looking for one for awhile and been having problems since it's out of print.
nice find
Awesome stuff man!
just picked up banjo kazooie with manual... and a free hot dog... good times.
and NES PowerPad thing for $1USD, and some street fighter pc game for a quarter
Nurd I must see photos of that street fighter!
I was at the swap meet & didn't expect to find much, but turns out there are still people there selling a bunch of old gen console stuff.
Among them, I got these Game Boy pirate multis:
(http://i498.photobucket.com/albums/rr343/JediQuestMaster/GameboyMultis.jpg)
I paid $10 for one & $7 for the other. I'm not quite sure if that was a good deal. :-\
I always figured GB pirates were rare. I got one off eBay without knowing, but other than that, I've never seen one before.
Both games don't seem to have the games they claim to have, but the one with the Double Dragon 3 (or 2 :P) logo has a Kunio game & Pitman! :o
Wow kewl stuff. I want those!
I'm willing to sell them, or trade. ;D
The 23 in 1 only has 5 games: Bomberman, Might Bomb Jack?, a weird puzzle-looking game called Tesserae, umm... Master Karateka, & Bubble Ghost - an interesting game that involves blowing (a balloon?) around obstacles. I don't know what to do on the third stage. :(
ah kewl yo have any prices in mind?
I believe I paid $10 for the 23 in 1 which I'll let go for $7, & I believe I paid $7 for the 55 in 1 which I'll sell for $10; but this doesn't include shipping. :(
However, I'm willing to trade, & right now I'm looking for donor carts (MMC1, CNROM, & MMC1b [Zelda]).
uhh I believe I can help you with donor carts. I'll need a list wekekeke.

Phantasy Star Online Episode 1&2 for Gamecube in almost new condition and Jet Grind Radio for Dreamcast
2.50$American at a garage sale :D
Today I finally got a Wii.
And I only paid 8000 Yen for it. :P
The story behind is that I helped my wife's uncle to buy a notebook PC. He used my points card at the electronics store and this brought me 7000 points, worth 7000 Yen. After that he said that the computer I searched for him was 10000 Yen cheaper than the budgeted for. So he gave me the 10000 Yen as a "thank you". While we were at it I bought the last Wii in stock (for the time) with only 8000 Yen of my own money. They even threw in a decent D-terminal cable for free and 500 points on my points card. ;D
Oh happy day. :D
P.S.: Before anybody asks... D-terminal -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D-Terminal (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D-Terminal)
What are these points you're talking about?
a Points Card for the electronics store.
Thanks, nurd.
I'm sure you have those in the US. You buy something in a store, show your points card and you get usually 1% of the price in points. Later you can use the points to buy goods.

Haha. But now I have one.
Great stuff. Unfortunately Wii Sports isn't bundled in Japan, so I'll have to find me a copy. I quite like that game.
I haven't bothered to take any pictures lately, but I got this last week
(http://i423.photobucket.com/albums/pp320/nintendodork1/SDC10295.jpg)
It's an UltraRacer 64 controller..for those of you who don't know :P
Kindof reminds me of the Tivo Remote.
I have one of those UltraRacer controllers too.
Once, me and a couple of friends played Smash Bros. with it, a bass fishing controller, and a racing wheel.
it was.. interesting.

I must call the Mythbusters to prove you don't exist.
Isn't the point of that show to bust myths? If anything, they'd go to Jedi and 133MHz's houses, record them for 2 seconds, and end the show :D
Or trash our houses looking for DSes.
Well, it is Nintendo related so why not.
I got an email not too long ago from Club Nintendo saying that I needed to use my coins because they were gonna expire later in ther summer. So I used them, and what did I get?
Well, I wasn't a fan of the DS game card cases/stylus sets, the wii remote holder looked stupid. I didn't like Game and Watch or the Mario Party 8 playing cards and didn't have enough for the Hanafuda cards that Nintendo used to be known for.
So by process of elimination, I got the Mario hat DS game rack and it looks a lot better in person than in the picture... some assembly was reguired but there were instructions.
Hey, speaking of Club Nintendo, I forgot that it's June! At the end of June, Gold and Platinum members get a special reward. I wonder what it will be. :o
Don't they tell you on the homepage?
I already got my platinum reward for last year, a Mario hat. I think I'll have to post some photos later.
(http://i43.tinypic.com/jt8dnb.jpg)
Do they in Japan? :o
EDIT* Damn, it seems now there is an Elite status above Platinum. I would have an Elite status if I saved all my coins (1,130) but I spent most of them on the G&W Collection. I only have 320 coins now, and that means I'll have Platinum at the end of the month. Makes me wonder what each rank will get.
They reveal the prize in Japan, but after the 1 year period ends. In Japan, the Club Nintendo year goes from Oct 1 to Sep 30.
And if the system is the same, it doesn't matter how many coins you spent. In Japan, all points you earn during the year count towards your status. Once you have 400 points, you've got platinum status. Even after you spend those 400 on something, the and have 0 points left, you still have 400 status points.
So in your case, if you got all your 1130 coins during the last year, all of them should count towards your status.
I hope it's like that. My status didn't change from Platinum to Elite, but they didn't show an actual icon for elite on the FAQ, so maybe it's just added on. I don't know. I wonder what Nintendo's first prize will be in North America. I guess just about anything is better than the stuff we have already. I'll be happy with whatever :)
It looks like I made elite status, I got more than 600 coins. Now I just gotta remember to check in July 1.
Any ideas what the prize may be anyone?
Does it say "Elite" beside your account name, or does it still say Platinum?

TwinBee is awesome. You'll love it if you haven't played it yet. :)
still says platinum, but I know I made elite status because to be elite, you gotta make gold or platinum. And according to the email I got, the prize thing will come in the fall of this year.
went to a huge garage sale and picked up
1-hot pink Gameboy Advanced for 5 bucks
1-MICRO GAMEBOY for 10 bucks
I think I got a good deal what you think?
a very good deal indeed

Were they cheap?
He made a sale thread, and he's selling them all for $30, so, somehow, he must be making a profit! :o
Not really,I bought the games on chance,didn't know I would get so many sports games plus so many of the same game.If I do make a profit I would make around 10 bucks for the most.
Also if I really wanted to make a profit I would sell the games individually,some of the games I put up sell for 14 bucks a piece on ebay.
Many of cheap games lots consist mostly of sports, pachinko and other gambling related games, because those are the cheapest and exist in abundance.
I got another zippo at Savers today for two dollars ;D
Also a cheaply made transforming gestalt type robot. I bought it just for the text on the box, I think it's "SUPER HYPER ROBOT FIVE IN ONE"

That's what I thought. :D They had only two unfortunately. I think I would have gotten twenty if they had that many.
I wonder how many of those still exist.
Those cases are cool. I wonder if they made any similar to that for SNES games. I'd like to get a few :D
Download (PC Engine), pretty cool shooter with Ninja Gaiden type cinemas

Nice stuff, FamicomFreak.
Btw, who's looking after your cats while you're away enjoying buying pirate SFC carts?
my wife is back home...I miss her already.... :(
Waaah! I see.
Will you buy her something nice when you get home?
I go home next Friday morning.
I love Kirby T&T, for whatever reason, I still remember buying it. It's a great game!
For only 50 Yen I couldn't pass it up. :D
Haven't played it yet, though.
It is!
I got the japanese version for like 4 dollars on ebay ;D
But 50 yen is a way better deal xD
Besides the NES games, got this for dirt cheap at the flea market today:
(http://img195.imageshack.us/img195/2895/dscn7416x.th.jpg) (http://img195.imageshack.us/i/dscn7416x.jpg/)
An old 486 Acer Laptop and an Atari 2600. Not pictured: A CGA card.
Good stuff 133mhz! I myself got me some new stuff. Another copy of Mario RPG to resell when I get back and a famiclone among other stuff!
(http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff280/luiszena/DSC00562-1.jpg)
mario rpg for 5 bucks!
(http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff280/luiszena/DSC00563-1.jpg)
I got these magazines for around 33 cents each for most of them and the others by trade.
(http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff280/luiszena/DSC00564-1.jpg)
I actually got this the day I arrived for 3 dollars.
(http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff280/luiszena/DSC00565-1.jpg)
I also got these pirates for 3 dollars each. The multicart is for genesis but not sure what it is.
(http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff280/luiszena/DSC00566-1.jpg)
I got this awesome famiclone for 10 dollars. It came with built in games and slots for both NES games and famicom games.
(http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff280/luiszena/DSC00567-1.jpg)
Finally, picked up these two pirates for 3 dollars each. Always wanted a kid dracula pirate.
So that's about it, I'm going to go all out in my last trip to the markets. Cya later!!
How many copies of Mario 8 do you have now? :o
Nice to see you got a lot of cool stuff.
Actually.....
It's just Don Doko Don 2...Apparently it's the "unhacked version of Mario 8" ::) :D
Really?
It still says Super Bros 8 on the cart... it says Don Doko Don 2, too. Weird pirates. Arrrr!
My Mario 8 has Don Doko Don 2 written on the label, too. I think FF's cart is a Mario 8.
No, he told me last night that he tested it on his Famiclone, and even though it says Mario 8 on the label, it's just Don Doko Don 2.
Indeed very weird... Why put Super Bros 8 on the label, when it's not on there?
Because they knew FamicomFreak would buy it on an instinct. :P

I had to buy a new Super Famicom and it came with 6 games including a copy of Super Mario Bros. 4 and Soul Blader, both sealed in their original plastic. Actually come to think of it, the SMB4 cartridge did not have the plastic baggie on it so it is possible that the game was resealed.
I think both were "resealed". I'm pretty sure new SFC weren't sealed in plastic. I could be wrong, though.
Some SFC carts for a total of $30 shipped (four others not pictured but are dupes):

That's quite a deal. Congrats on that.
Yeah you got a great deal on that. Sonic and Knuckles can sell for like 10 bucks on its own.
I think it's cool how they made it possible to play as Knuckles in the last two with S&K plugged in. Besides the level order, is there any difference between regular Sonic and the "Not for resale" Sonic?
One is not for resale and the other is. ;D
Heh, very true nurd. I got this in the mail today:
(http://i39.tinypic.com/os4n0p.jpg)
And only this. My Genesis hasn't arrived yet. :(
Such extravagance. AV cables?
I just use my Genesis RF switch for my Famicom, SFC, and Genesis. :P I don't have to unplug anything when switching systems.
I use my 4-way composite cable switch for my Famicom, Genesis, Wii, and N64. :P I don't have to unplug anything when switching systems.
That worked quite well. :D
XD Oh duh, your Famicom's AV modded. :P

so damn cool i think mega drives and original mega cds are sick.
Yes, it looks and feels great.
I'll have to dig out AC adapters, cables and games to test the combination soon.
Hey manuel thats a cool looking mega cd i have never seen one of those in australia It should play back-ups as well top find.
I probably won't use it to play backups/rom images, but if there's a hard to find title this might be the way to play it.

NIB Dreamcast Keyboard GET! :D
Now excuse me while I go play some The Typing Of The Dead :P.
Usually Goodwill has not been giving me any good games lately, but yesterday I found...
Pirates! GOLD for the Genesis, complete (but no map). Four dollars! ;D
Now I own two!
sweet are you going to sell one? Congrats on your find 133mhz and liked the Zelda like photo
Yes I will sell or trade it. Maybe I should make my own sales thread. I wonder if there is any interest in people wanting Saturn or Dreamcast systems with games
I'm interested in a Dreamcast, as mine stopped working. I don't any money right now though.
We could work something out, Geoff. Like I said, I'm open to some trades, too. I will get a sales thread going soon. I am in the process of putting up new storage shelves so I can move the majority of my collection to my bedroom, and then take inventory.
Awesome keyboard, 113. :P
I picked up a Gamecube and Pac-Man World 2 yesterday for $30.
Just picked up a couple of puzzle games. awaa!

Awesome finds! I'm jealous ::)
Great stuff, man.
Nice you got the 3DO working just by cleaning it.
I recently got my hands on Actraiser (SFC) for a dollar and Mystery Dungeon Torneko No Daibouken (SFC) for a dollar as well.

Yeah I was kinda of disappointed when it wouldn't read the discs and I was so eager to try it out. I have a friend online that could help me out on some things I could do to try and make it work but he was offline. I decided to try the most common stuff and it all worked out. Now I need to get me some good 3DO games which I heard there aren't many.

what's the table top thingy?
@ Rob64: The game is AstroBlaster
@Namzep: Great stuff! I saw Pole Position I at The Digz, but it was in a cockpit style machine. Do you know if they ever made Pole Position II like that?
I'm not sure if they did but since PPI and II were easily swappable, I'm sure there are quite a few of the cockpits that have been set up as Pole Position IIs.
nintendo gamecube system all hookups $5. ;D just had to get it looks great and works flawless.

Within the past week I bought:
The Counduit, which I'm actually enjoying in an old school shooter kind of way. Reminds me a lot of the Timesplitter games and Perfect Dark in it's story line and atmosphere, something we honestly don't get much of anymore. Not nearly as grim and realistic as shooters have become.
And used retro purchases have been:
Ganbare Goemon 4 (Legend of the Mystical Ninja 4) on the Super Famicom. Haven't really had a chance to dig into this one yet, but I love all the Goemon games, and this one is apparently the best of the Super Famicom ones next to 2, so I'm sure I'll enjoy it.
Bionic Commando on the Gameboy. No, this is not 'Elite Forces' on the Gameboy Color, this is a forgotten pseudo=port of the NES one, and it's AWESOME! It's quickly on it's way to being my favorite version of Bionic Commando, EVER. The controls are super tight, which is amazing for a Gameboy game, and the art style is more of a Shirow Masamune / Robotech kind of look, which is really impressive on that little LCD screen. If any of you guys find a copy in the wild, PICK IT UP.
Awesome stuff guys!!!!
Recently I got a X-box for next to nothing and a Gameboy Color.
Romancing Sa-Ga 2 (SFC)
(http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e121/son_ov_hades/IMG_0948.jpg)
I picked up this awesome shirt at Nintendo World, no idea what it says though.
(http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e121/son_ov_hades/IMG_0949.jpg)
On the left and down in the middle it says "Super Mario".
On the right it says "1 cartridge, 4 player battle"
(ok, it doesn't say player, but person, but I think the word player is implied ;))
Thanks Manuel. :) I wonder what game this shirt if for then, 4 player battle? The only thing I can think of is Mariokart. From the graphic I thought it was Super Mario World though. Either way, cool shirt.
What's the copyright date under the Nintendo logo, though? 200-something. Way too late for Mario Kart, right?
2008. So yeah I have no idea.
Mario Party?
The Super Mario Advance series for the GBA allowed you to play the original Mario Bros. Arcade with 4 players and only one cartridge.
I got Dragon Warrior Monsters 2 at a garage sale.
I got Wii Sports Resort w/ Wii MotionPlus and a nice-looking Logitech headset at Walmart 20 minutes ago. I can't wait to try out WSR! I'm using the headset right now. Very nice.
Wii Sports Resort is lots of fun, if I didn't just buy a PS3(pics when it gets here) I'd have picked it up.
Got Wii Sports Resort from Toys 'R Us and got a $20 gift card. Came back the next day and used the gift card to get another Motionplus ;D
I played all of the games on Wii Sports Resort, and my two favorites are sword fighting and ping-pong. The Wii MotionPlus isn't crap!
Whoever says Motion Plus is crap either never once even touched and tried it or is a liar.
It works well and that's all that counts.
When I played Golf on WSR, as soon as I took my first swing, it felt so much more realistic and easy than on WS. Putting was amazing as well. No more awkward, soft, no-backswing, forward puts. :P
I am still amazed how well you can manipulate the ball in ping pong. Just wow.
Golf indeed got a lot better, but more difficult, too. :o
Got these the other day.
(http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y101/pikkonson/100_0829.png)
Japanese MD games, huh? Tatsujin is awesome. The American version, Truxton, is what's on my arcade machine.
Yea,all MD games except for FireShark.I got them cheap so I just had to buy them.
Picked up Super Mario 64 DS, but traded in Mario Party DS to get it.
Got me a cheap CIB Super Mario World.

It's manga, not a game.
Phantasy Star (PS2) from the Sega Ages Series.
Yes a naughty manga! Since this thread it's called Finds(all others) then I figure just show it here as well har har
i got a sega master system for 15 bucks and an official NES2 top loader for 20 today at green dragon, and a bunch of stuff on hold for next friday
nice deal on the stuff jollie
thanks d00d :)
This post is barely video game related, but I'm gonna make it anyway. I went to Omaha yesterday and got The Simpsons- season 11, Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! -seasons 2 & 3, Donnie Darko on DVD, A 2'' Domo action figure (:P), and two bottles of Ramune...which looks different then what I used to get.
And...to make this post video game related, I got Sonic Pocket Adventure, Samurai Showdown 2, Fatal Fury: Contact, and King of Fighters- R2, all for the Neo Geo Pocket Color, which I don't have yet. :D
NGPC games:
(http://i30.tinypic.com/2hnt6xw.jpg)
What's wrong with this Ramune? The bottle I usually get is in English, and all this other store had was Japanese stuff. They also had mango flavor, which I hadn't tried yet. :P
(http://i32.tinypic.com/2qk6vk4.jpg)
ok so donnie darko is amazing so thats cool so are fatal fury and King Of Fighters
Well I found this stuff and will be purchasing it this friday at green dragon.(funny story anything i find at the shop i can put on hold for me and the guy wont sell it to anyone. cool right?)
Mario Kart 64 w/black and grey controller box(Import)
Black original gameboy
ANOTHER Sega Genesis HDG model
Afterburner for the SMS
the add on for the sega cd2 that holds the larger genesis
choplifter for the sms
and maybe P.O.W. CIB for the NES (it was from a rental shop and has a bunch of stickers on the cart :(
EDIT: also i forgot to add a Game Boy Printer, Silpheed, and the games that come with a sega CD (Sol Feace, Sega Classics, Etc.)
If you peel off all the stickers, and clean the sticky residue with alcohol, then the cart will look brand new. :)
no its one of those stickers that when you peel it off it shows that VOID thing like a blockbuster sticker and they are a pain in the ass to get off without ripping up the label.
You can still get them out with a lot of patience and some alcohol :P.
BTW I don't like Afterburner for the SMS, but the cart rocks because it's got a really kickass mapper that works with 99% of SMS games up to 512KB in size. You can put almost any game on it :).
what games would you recommend for the SMS 133?
Games I recommend:
- Sonic the Hedgehog 1 & 2 (awesome games that show the true power of the SMS)
- Wonder Boy (awesome arcade conversion - better than the Famicom one! *gasp*)
- Columns or Super Columns (like Magic Jewerly for the FC - pretty fun)
- The Ninja (hard but fun)
- Kung Fu Kid (like Kung Fu for the NES but longer, also fun)
- Alex Kidd in Miracle World (the SMB clone for the SMS!)
- Astro Warrior (nice shooting game a-la Star Force)
- Penguin Land (fun puzzle/platformer with stage builder, good brain-teasing)
- Teddy Boy (small fun platformer with catchy music)
- Flicky (same as above)
If you have the Light Phaser get
Safari Hunt and
Shooting Gallery, especially the latter. The Sega light gun is ages ahead from the NES Zapper - pixel accurate, no flashing white rectangles! Shooting Gallery bears an uncanny resemblance to Wii Play's shooting mini-game! Really advanced stuff.
...and of course, Snail Maze! Best Game
EVAR.
I'd like to see other members' favorite SMS games :).
thanks ill keep my eyes open for those games. haha snail maze, as of now thats about all i can play on this thing, and i can only get to level 3!
For me, it'd be Sonic the Hedgehog. I like it more than the Genesis version! :o
FINALLY someone that also bigs up THE NINJA! An amazing game, I got it for my bro one Christmas when he got his SMS, amazing times.
I'd also reccommend:
- wonderboy 3 (dragon's trap)
- alien storm (like streets of rage)
- safari hunt (light gun game)
- california games (best version IMO)
- alien 3
- Asterix (this is better than most megadrive games even)
- castle of illusion mickey mouse
- kenseiden
- lucky dime caper donald duck
- ninja gaiden (way different than on nes)
- operation wolf
- phantasy star
- R-type
- shinobi
So, a long list but I think there were nearly as many great games for the SMS as there was on famicom / nes. It was a success in europe as you know.
Whoa I didn't know that the SMS had Mickey's Castle of Illusion! I'm totally checking that one out :).
Went to the flea market and went all out for my 100th blog finds entry! Lots of good stuff!!!

Well that's about it. Me and my cat are going through all the games and having a blast!
I'm totally digging that Spanish language Keyboard Famiclone cart. Do you have a keyboard Famiclone to test it?
no I don't :( but it does load up but it goes crazy after that.....I might end up selling it....
It goes crazy because it's trying to access a non-existent keyboard and mouse and getting garbage data as a result. Plug it into a Keyboard Famiclone and it'll work perfectly :).
what system is the 48 in 1 cart for, N64?
Famicom, more specifically Keyboard Famiclones.
Interesting... especially when you consider how the design of an unlicensed cart looks similar to the design of a licensed cart for a completely different system.
Just won this!
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220465015669
You bastard! I bid on it too!
i see a sega genesis model 3 in my near future ;D.also a copy of shinobi, and alien syndrome.
Shinobi is a great game and the genesis 3 is so tiny it's perfect if you have a lot of consoles hooked up.
Torneko no Daibouken 2 (PS)
On the way is a promotional tape for Super Mario 64.
whoa. cool. NGPC games XD
Went to the store again (without my son this time) and got "The Eye of Judgment" (PS3) CIB with Playstation Eye for lousy 834 Yen. :D Yeah, that's less than 9$. ;D
The shop closes soon and they have 70% off on everything. Not much good stuff left, though.
I purchased a SMB2j /w Tennis disk on ebay for $11.
I have never played SMB2j before (not even emulated) so this will be an exciting and frustrating experience...
You'll love it. It's frustrating (at times), but you'll always come back to it.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160355935974&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT
EDIT:Yeah Screw that it went past how much i would have paid for it.
heh too bad that was a sexy box.
oh well ill just have to take an OOB one friday. :-\
PopoloCrois - Tsuki no okite no bouken (PS2)
Woohoo! I finally got my NGPC, and a Sega Game Gear! The NGPC is in awesome condition, and the Game Gear has some scratches on the screen, and no battery covers, but it said that in the auction, and it was still a nice extra. On top of that, I got the GG AC adapter, a GG car adapter, and they both came in a plush case. Which was also nice. I also got Puzzle Bobble from a different seller, which is now my favorite puzzle game of all time. Anyway, pictures:

Just went out and bought a genesis 2 with M.U.S.H.A,sonic 3 , aladdin and castlevania bloodlines for 15 dollars, and then bought action 52 for nes for just under 100 dollars. ^_^

M.U.S.H.A...action 52 for nes for just under 100 dollars.
Nice! How much was M.U.S.H.A? It's supposed to be pretty rare, isn't it?
Yea Musha is rare, but it came wit the genesis, 15 bucks. I already had a genesis, but i got some sweet games!

Wow awesome stuff man. I love the mario box thing!
Star Wars Arcade 32X
Outrunners -Genesis
Hang-On/Safari Hunt SMS
NES Satellite
Just bought spiderman for genesis at a little store for only 3 dollars!
So I woke up today and was perusing one of the Free Criagslists around my region when I came across a fifteen minute old post that said something along the lines of "NES and SNES" in the title. Not too old, cool. Usually by the time I click them and email and stuff, they're gone or I email back and forth and don't end up with free video game stuff.
It didn't have a location listed but I knew the general area would be at least an hour's drive for me. The listing said that the person was cleaning out their house when they came across their NES, SNES, 2 SNES controllers, 7 SNES games, but no adapters or AV cables so they weren't tested. The post said that the stuff would be thrown out by the 1st and the classic game preservationist inside me, coupled with the fact that the post was quite fresh, pushed me to email the poster and in a gamble, I left my phone number.
I got a call about five or ten minutes later and when I found out where the stuff was, I was right, give or take about an hour plus change away. I told the person on the phone that I could be there at noon, but that was a problem so we scheduled a pickup for later in the evening. Since I had basically just woken up, it slipped my mind to ask what games were in the lot and forgot to ask if the person could hold it for me.
Right before I left to pick the stuff up, I noticed the post was gone. I had a nagging feeling that the person may have given the stuff away but I was feeling zealous and decided to not call and leave to pick up the stuff anyway. About twenty minutes from the location, I called to remind the person I was coming. Voice mail...
...crap...
I kept driving though but right as I contemplated turning around, I got a call confirming that the stuff was still there. After getting off the phone, I breathed a collective sigh of relief from all the gambles I took so far.
As I knocked on the door, I wasn't expecting much. Bring on the busted systems and sports games!
The person invited me in and directed me to a near empty milk crate with the stuff sprawled around it. It was clear that the person was prepping to move or something. As I looked at the NES and SNES, they were pretty dirty. Ugh, maybe I shouldn't have been so impulsive.
The person then handed me the stack of games, the ones I notice immediately were a black cartridge and one with a rather plain looking green forest label with yellow title text.
I kept a straight poker face and started to hurriedly put the stuff in a bag because I knew I had already done well. Somewhere along the line, a Game Gear was produced and offered to me so I took that as well. I helped the person root through the various AC Adapters and found mostly phone chargers so nothing that I could actually use. They had indeed misplaced the AV Cables and AC Adapters. I thanked the person and took the stuff to my car.
After I popped open my trunk, I decided to take a closer look at the cartridges. Here's the contents of my epic find:
- A dirty SNES
- A dirty SNES controller
- An InterAct SNES Pad
- A used and dusty NES
- A black Game Gear with a missing battery cover
- Itchy and Scratchy for the Game Gear
- Super Columns for the Game Gear
- Sim City for the SNES (as are the rest of the games I'm listing)
- Killer Instinct
- Super Punch Out
- Super Mario Kart
- Secret of Evermore
- TWO Secret of Mana (the gem I spotted immediately)
- Chrono Trigger
I drove like mad back home and cleaned and tested the SNES games with a buddy of mine. They all work and they have saves at various points in each of the respective games.
Un-freaking believable. Apparently, there's merit to impulsive decision making. Not only did I just get a pile of awesome stuff for free for my collection, I just saved a whole lot from the fate of the dumpster. The systems still need to be cleaned and tested but for obvious reasons, I'm not going to be bummed if they don't work.
What a find and what an adventure.
That's what I really call a find.
A very nice find.
Really nice find, now my turn.
I found a craigslist ad for my area that had someone getting rid of a 1981 Philco Color Television with bunny ears and the manual. We emailed each other before, and told him that I wanted it to play old consoles on a tv like that, and he told me he remembers getting it to work with the atari.
That's an even better sign for me. I know it works, and it can be hooked up. I eventually showed up with my brother to pick it up, and it looked better than what the picture had, it was the tv I was looking for and he was giving it away for free.
Upon closer inspection and a couple of posts here, I found out I need an adaptor to connect my old stuff. It's worth it for this tv.
The tv is the classic wood frame and dials for the channel.
Update: I finished hooking up the tv and it works great.
That is very epic. Congrats!
har har found a pirate gameboy cart at my local thrift store. It has 100 games no repeats! Lots of fun in this one! It cost me 1.95.

Hey, I'm reading Tom Sawyer right now! :D
I heard the game was bad though.
Yeah the game is bad but I love the label. Makes it look like you are bound to have such an awesome adventure....then reality kicks in....har har har

My model 2 Genesis won't play it sadly, so it's sitting here un-played for awhile until someone can help me with what Genesis I should buy in order to play it.
Well I do have a Sega without TMSS and it works great but if you can't find any info on here than post a thread on Assemblergames about it.
I would hate to sell it to you then find out your game still does not work.
That Mario game looks sweet.
If all pirates were like that I think I might be interested in them after all.

That game is awesome. It sucks that it doesn't work in a model 2 Genesis, where did you get it from?
Friend in Taiwan :)
Good news, it does work. I had to do a cart swapping trick though, which requires starting a game up and then with the power on swapping for the other game and then hitting reset. That bypasses the TMSS check then.
This game is pretty hard :P

Awesome! I didn't know that! :o
I tried two different games for the initial startup game before choosing Jurassic Park and going into the options screen. All other games I tried swapping at the title and the screen went black as soon as I pulled the cart out.
So if anyone else is going to try this you'll know it has a chance of working if the game your swapping stays on screen once you take it out. I think that's how it works anyways :)
hmm interesting way to make a game work. Congrats on finding the solution though.
What the hell is this? TV with built in Super Famicom?
http://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/120823618
???
I gotta admit, it's pretty cool.
Yep its a sharp tv with a built in super famicom. Sure its Rad! There is a tv with a built in famicom too. Thats also very cool. But most of the times this consoles are pretty expensive and especially the shipping costs are hella expensive
That's very cool and sad to see it ended at 1000Yen. If I saw this earlier I'd have bid on that for sure.

Keep it sealed! Have you tried playing it? I had a lot of fun on this way back when but it's not a good port, not reccommended really but nice as part of a collection.
Yeah I'm going to keep it sealed for sure. I will find a download of the game to try it out.
I'd recommend getting a CPS2 emulator in all honesty. You can't beat that box art though!!
heh yeah. I have been away from emulators for years really. I should get back to them sometime. The only one I'm currently using is Nestopia to record my videos walkthroughs that I upload on youtube.
Another copy of Final Fantasy IV (SFC)
Last night I bought a Virtual Boy with all the hookups and free game (Mario Tennis) for 69 plus 14 for shipping at the Goat Shop.
Part of my find is NES related, but I'm putting it here so I have all in one post. Also, this will probably the last time I get stuff for a while until about christmas time.
1. a 1989 Super Mario 2 mug, color still in tact. 8 inches tall, diameter is 4 inches. $15.00
2. Legend of Zelda with cart. manual, dust sleeve, box, manual, and overworld map for 1st quest. $30.00
3. a Starfox 64 tape which will come tomorrow, in good condition. $10.00
and 4. 9 Nintendo topps card packs (3 link, 3 mario, and 3 peach), and Nintendo Power Issue #1 in good condition except for the back of it (it's very worn) otherwise great condition, and with 2nd quest poster for Zelda, all for $50.00
Rockman 7 (SFC)
Finally!

Got an R4i in the mail today! The site seemed shady, but it was only $30, and they gave me two-day shipping. This thing couldn't be easier to use. I'm playing HeartGold on it right now!
There are some on Dealextreme that can apparently be used on DSi that are only about 12 dollars. I suppose this one is higher quality, though.
You are a pirate Nintendo Dork arrrrrrrrrrrr! nice stuff though...I wish I was playing heart gold....
Just get one of that card thingies and play it.
As long as you buy the US version later it's ok morally, too. (<- by my standards that is)
I'm definitely purchasing HeartGold and SoulSilver when they come out here, in the US. However, I can't say the same thing for the majority of anything else on my R4. :P
Just got Kirby's Block Ball in the mail. An interesting twist on breakout.

How much total did you spend? I've been wanting to go to the flea market for a while, and I have no idea how much cash I should pack with me.
well with food and purchases around 50 dollars.
That's a lot of stuff for 50$. Nice.
Yeah if you offer them to buy in lots they'll give you some awesome prices.
Are these from garage sales or thrift stores?
No, just the flea market.
I never had that much luck on flea markets in Germany and have never been on one in Japan, unfortunately.
Ah well you just gotta keep looking. I went with a friend I met through digital press forum and it was his first time. When we got there the place was empty and he wasn't that positive on finding stuff. I kept telling him to just be patient that most vendors haven't taken their stuff out just yet(it rained a little bit when we got there). Anyways, after waiting around and looking at the vendors that were already opened we started finding deals. I found him a loose copy of chrono trigger for the SNES for 2 dollars and even though I was the one that found it I let him buy it (can't be that greedy lol and it was his first time there). At the end of the day, we ended up with our backpacks full of games and real happy at what we found. He was amazed at how much stuff there was. We even let some deals go like a boxed game gear and some neat SNES games. We are planning another trip soon so I hope to have another good haul. har har har

Super Street Fighter II (SFC) for 50 Yen. :D
50 yen is a great deal for such an awesome game.
Today's flea market finds:
(http://img197.imageshack.us/img197/3504/dscn9833n.jpg)
Nothing too earth shattering, but I got all of these for cheap. The 68 in 1 pirate Famicom multicart contains about 7 unique games - including a hilarious hack of Mario Brothers with a giant Doraemon as the main character.
The PS1 didn't power on at first, fortunately only the main fuse was blown. After tweaking the laser slightly and making sure that it worked correctly, I gave it a generous bath on my tub with some laundry detergent and it turned out like this:

Not bad considering how terrible it was before ::).
That's amazing 133mhz. I love those before and after photos....awa!
Can you get anything cool from NA flea markets?
Wow, that('s like day and night. That was a great cleaning job.
of course you can. I will go once more this Oct 18th and will show you what I can find.
I used to have that exact same model of router. It wasn't very good. :X

I used to have that exact same model of router. It wasn't very good. :X
It's not a router, it's a network switch. My router is a Linksys WRT54G with DD-WRT and it seriously rocks - but I've run of LAN ports to plug computers into, so I picked this D-Link 5 port switch for a buck instead of paying nearly $20 for a new 7 port one 8).
I agree with you about D-Link routers not being so good, at least the recent ones. I had a refurbished DI-604 which worked like a charm for years until we got laptops and needed wireless, so I bought a new DI-524, that piece of shit was terribly unstable - it crashed a lot and the store wouldn't take it back because they couldn't find anything wrong with it >:(. I tried everything from firmware updates, replacing the AC adapter and even a cooling fan (!), but nothing helped. Tired of the BS I ditched the DI-524, bought a Linksys WRT54G, flashed it with DD-WRT and haven't looked back since 8).
Eventually it was discovered that turning off the wireless radio helped with stability on the DI-524, but that defeats the purpose of a wireless router in the first place! >:(
Also, thanks for the comments about the PS1 cleaning! :D
I've been playing Jumping Flash 2 on it using my friend's controllers & hookups. I really need to buy some controllers and cables of my own ::).
I got the mother of all finds!
A blue dev PS1, a green dev PS1, 2 green debug Gamecubes, a red dev gamecube and a whole load of PS2 external network HDDs..
The HDDs were all still new and even sealed in their shipping boxes direct from SONY!
Oh yeah, all this was free :D I literally got sweaty palms the moment I saw them! I have no room for them so I'll be selling them on as collectors quite like dekvits.
Pictures or it never happened! Srsly!
(http://home.freeuk.com/jrknight/smileys/postpics.gif)
it is all still at work - I recently moved house and overloaded my poor new housemate with a ton of stuff. I forgot to mention other goodies too - there was a big pile but mostly old controllers and source code and crap. A scary sight. Pics to come then :P I might go and grab some more but I had to prioritise. There were boxes full of just gamecube controllers, then one of steering wheels, then one of ps1 controllers then one of ps2 controllers and it just went on and on. I think I grabbed the beautiful stuff. I've wanted a red dev code GCN for ages now.
[UPDATE PICS]

...AAND this is why this stuff is so damn hard to get hold of!!
(http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii47/L___E___T/DSC00152.jpg)
Just bought from a friend, a slim ps2, everything included, and 6 games for 30 dollars. Pretty good deal right there!
That's an awesome deal man! I want a slim with network!!
Freakin' awesome stuff, L__E__T! I wish I could get my hands on stuff like that. You're really lucky!
worst thing? It was LITERALLY destined for the bin. Sacrilege if you ask me. A corridor of gems going off to be slaughtered by removal guys or something! I had to save them.
In Germany, taking stuff out of of the bin is considered theft. :D
That pic makes me damn jealous...
Same here unless you get permission, which I did at least. I'm open to offers on that stuff though as like I said I just don't have room for it. It'll all be going in about a month's time along with some other bits like a brand new PAL NES I don't have room for.
I'm having a clear out sale soon so I'll make a thread when I can gather the mounds of stuff together.
Super neato. That's awesome, it's fun to look in garbage bins.
No it wasn't a bin, it was before it got to the bin :)
man, I couldn't go trawling through a skip like a hobo!
I got Donkey Kong 64 and an expansion pak from a friend, and I ordered a KORG Kaossilator yesterday!

It looks really cool. if it cost significantly less i would probably buy one. make sure to tell us if its great.
Overstock.com is your friend. My mom gets emails with coupons and stuff from them, and they even have a few promotions going right now. I managed to get mine for $150 w/ two day shipping.

Oh. How often do you find things like this? :o
it really is fun though. (:
I hope not too often or I will turn green from jealousy. :D
no, often at all. actually, I missed out on the last round. Some 20 bits of dev kit were destroyed and smashed up, there was nothing I could do about it either..
Destroying them is a shame from a fan's viewpoint. But on the other hand it's understandable that the companies don't want their stuff in the hands of others.
I want D:
I would have bought the dev kits and flipped off the people who were going to destroy them.
Got these from Amazon.com
Bakubaku Animal (Saturn)

It's great.
The only thing I wish it came with was an AC adapter. Since this is a KORG Japan product, I assume I'll need a special AC adapter. :-\ Otherwise, it only takes 4 AAs, so that's not a big concern anyway. Some people say the lack of USB bothers them, but all you have to do is plug a 3.5mm jack into your computer and your Kaossilator.
A friend today gaveme an XBox, with Halo 2.
I got a storage rack where you can put a Super Famicom on top and games inside. Pretty neat.
And a Super Famicom carrying case.

Some clear blue and yellow SFC cartridge cases with Super Mario World and Super Mario Kart motifs.
Got Conker's Bad Fur Day yesterday on eBay, and then today I went to Omaha to try that dog grooming service at Petsmart with my basset hound. While she was getting groomed, I went to Gamers, and picked up Harvest Moon 64, CIB Perfect Dark (in almost mint condition), and Micro Machines on the NES all for $25! :D
My dog was also very shiny.
Wario Land (Virtual Boy) Great fun while you can still see things.

Nice. A boxed Super Mario Collection!
I still only have cart only. :-[
Bought a broken Sega Genesis Model 1 for dirt cheap, seller said that it powered up but the video was all screwed up.
I already own both Sega Genesis models so I just got this one for the challenge of fixing it, and to have a spare system for parts etc.
When I hooked it up to the TV through the RF modulator sure enough the video was really fuzzy and lacking sync, but it resembled something that I've seen a lot on my younger days: the channel selector switch set in the wrong channel, so I checked out the position of the output channel selector and it was in Ch. 4 instead of 3. Flipping it back to the correct channel displayed a beautiful picture and confirmed that the system was indeed working fine.
So much for buying a supposedly junk system and finding out that it was set on the wrong channel! ::)
That wasn't the challenge that I was hoping to get :'(... but hey, never hurts to have a cheap spare! :P

Nice. A boxed Super Mario Collection!
I still only have cart only. :-[
Thanks,the box is pretty beat up but everything else is nice.
I got a good deal on both games,cost me 26$ shipped.
You living in Japan I bet it would not be to much of a hassle to find one CIB and a lot better shape than mine.
Just received this awesome N64 controller from Carl today in the mail. Thanks a lot, man! I love the size of the controller and how the buttons are located. The control stick feels like a friggin' Gamecube stick. It's amazing!

I bought from local gamestore kid niki for nes for 2.99 and sega classic sonic the hedgehob CIB for 6.99. They had a famicom game there but it was too expensive.
Which one? How much was it?
The game was just breed, for 30 bucks. Too much, right?
If it was loose, which I'm assuming it is, yeah. :P
Yup loose. Still i was excited to see an fc game in a store. I also bought a dreamcast controller!
This counts as gaming, right?

You're into Yugioh? I've got some cards I've been trying to sell for ages. No one around here likes it anymore. PM me if you're looking for anything. I might have it.
My finds for this week include:
Mad World (Wii)
The Conduit (Wii)
A Gameshark (N64) Why is that LED number display on the front of the thing? All it does is count down from 5 each time you start it up. ???

oh.. Mine is pretty much fucked. It really only works with Wave Race, which is okay, because it's one of my favorite games.
I have never seen it light up :p

:D That's strange. I know the N64 GS had a lot of versions. So maybe yours (for whatever reason) is the kind that doesn't light up...but I think they all light up, so it must just be broken. :P That's strange that it only works with one game. Over the years, I've come to notice that Gamesharks will just all of a sudden stop working. Like the one I have for my GBA will work for almost all the games on it, except for Ruby and Sapphire, which is the only thing I used it for. >:( Maybe I was on a free trial. ::) :P
haha. the pins are messed up, so it the plastic holding the pins, i have to put toothpicks in to push them out enough :p
Last Other thing i found was, I found a puddle on my floor with Pikmin 2 in it. Now i need to buy a new cover insert.
Dammit, mysterious puddle.
A Dreamcast complete with box (slightly bad shape), manual, all hookups, a controller and a VMU for 900 Yen. Today was my lucky day. :D Often VMUs alone go for 900 Yen or even more.
Wow Manuel, that's a seriously awesome find!
Yes, because in the same shop they also had a Saturn (without box) with 1 controller for more than double that. (1900Yen)
I don't know who's responsible for the prices... :D
Just made a huge find at my local game store! Firrst, ms pac man CIB for the genesis! 4 game boy multicarts with many gems on them. And a gba multi wich includes all 6 megamans! It all came to 20 bucks! Im so happy!
:o Wow. You're lucky! Do the gb multicarts have super mario land 4 on any of them?
Ah yes! One does! The shin chan hack! Its very fun. Do you have any gb multis?
No. I don't have any. Super mario 4 is one that i want though.
Ordered this this morning from RetroGameCity. I'm so excited to get my first package from Japan!! I got it for a great price too.
(http://www.retrogamecity.com/ebay/11-04-09/CIMG2979.jpg)
Thanks so much Andy! ;D
How come you can order from Japan all of a sudden?
Congrats on the new freedom! And on the game, too, of course.
I have no idea. :o I just asked my mom and told her it came from Japan and she's like "yeah, sure."
..So I'm assuming that's an ok for other things from Japan too.
Sometimes, when my dad is like really watching TV, and really drowsy, I'll come up to him and ask ridiculous questions, like can I have 40 dollars for a disk system, and he'll say, oh...uh...sure....yeah...Zzz. :P Then I'll ask him to take out his credit card, and he'll be like....Zzz...WHAT? YOU WANT A FLOPPY DISK GAME? Just go play with the ones you have.
Mega Drive with box in really good condition. ;D

Mario Clash (US, Virtual Boy) $19.76
A friend of mine wanted to get an iPod FM transmitter so after class we went to a very popular place to get cheap electronic products. There was a bargain basket outside of a store that caught our attention. Upon closer inspection we found unsold, brand new & sealed stuff from ~15 years ago! There were CIB sealed PS1 controllers, SNES games, NES clone controllers, Famiclone controllers and a bunch of other goodies which are almost impossible to find in brand new condition these days, and at bargain prices! Of course we couldn't resist and bought a bunch of stuff and will probably return to get some more.
These were the most worthy finds for me:
Brand New NASA NES Clone Controllers! They even smell like new!
(http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2501/4100700877_1e398d88d2.jpg) (http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2501/4100700877_1e398d88d2_b.jpg)
These are the controllers that originally came bundled with my "Mini NES" clone which I found system only. Each box set comes with two controllers (one to complete my mini NES clone and one to spare). I might get more of these since they're a good source of rubber domes to fix original NES and Famicom controllers.
Brand New and Sealed 15 pin Famicom Clone Controller!
(http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2674/4100701257_f85f9d5e0b.jpg) (http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2674/4100701257_f85f9d5e0b_b.jpg)
I hate these crappy controllers but when I noticed that they're 15 pin I immediately got one because these are pretty hard to find, unlike their 9 pin cousins. Some Famicom clones use this connector, like my GLK Keyboard Famiclone. Now I can finally try out some games on it!
New 8-bit?
Those NASA controllers are pretty cool. My favorite controller is the NES controller, and those add turbo, which I love.
Virtual Boy AC Adaptor Tap $4.??
Had a good day at the flea market today scored a quake 2 and unreal tournament pc games for a dollar each been playing unreal all day cant believe there are still 500+ players playing multiplayer online 10 years after it's release
also scored a nintendo64 mario world and mario golf $10,snes donkey kong country3 and wario woods $5 each
and 2 gcon guns psx resident evil,time crisis fade to black,wcw nitro,evil dead,alone in the dark,silent hill,tomb raider3 and jet racer for $20
and a ds game called contact for $5
it's a bit of a buzz to find a good buy at the markets and the monster that is my video game collection grows a bit bigger. :-)
Red Alarm (Virtual Boy)
It isn`t christmas yet, but the box from JGS is here and it`s bigger than the first 2.
I`m getting a sfc boxed, a fds ac adaptor and 5 games. Also a Uforce, hopefully cib.
Ah 133mhz so that's the box of those controllers. I have a set myself that were from a nes clone I had years ago but broke thanks to my brother. Kewl stuff indeed. Here are some of my finds in the past two-three weeks that I liked the most.

AWESOME FAMICOMFREAK!!! I want marvel vs capcom for dreamcast SOOOOOOOOO badly!!
Got this Atari 2600 clone with 256 built in games for pretty cheap today:
(http://img72.imageshack.us/img72/3798/dscn0497.jpg)
(http://img26.imageshack.us/img26/5161/dscn0498q.jpg)
It doesn't have a menu screen or dip switches. The built in games change at a rate of one per second (kind of like changing channels on a TV) and when you find a game you want to play, you flick the Game Select switch into the off position and the cycling stops. Toggle the switch again and the "playlist" will continue advancing.
I haven't checked if it really comes with 256 games, but it does have an awful lot of them, and there are quite a few classics in there. :D
What a moron to not let you select your games from a list.
Most Atari 2600 games don't even have a title screen... I presume that a menu screen is way beyond the 2600's capabilities ::) :P
What I mean, is when you flick that switch up, and the channels start going, instead, you should be able to push the joystick right or left, to select a game. Then flick the switch down, to play.
I am interested in that clone, its wicked.
I wants a cool 2600 clone like that one.
Awesome stuff 133mhz....
Another Super Famicom with 2 controllers.
I just couldn't let that sit on the shelf. :)
Nice.
I need to get a Super Fami one of these days.
Gonna get Pokemon Stadium 1 (J) in a trade from Ericj.
(http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj287/pingaloquita/PS1.jpg)
I'm excited to play through this with my Green team! Sucks that I can't use Green with any of the U.S games.
very cool. i used to have the japanese version of that game, but i sold it.
Awesome stuff man! Congrats!
I just got a boxed MegaCD2. :D
nice you lucky dog!
Hehe, and it was only 2500 Yen. ;D
I hope I have time to try it out on the weekend.
Cool stuff manuel!! i really want a Mega Cd, mainly for the terminator! 8)
My silver Gba Sp came today! Awesome.
My 3.8 and 4.5mm gamebits came in the mail today. Time to fix my Virtual Boy and get me a Dream Mary! 8)
XD I read "gamebits" as "grenades".
Despite having a terrible week, i was happy today. Here are my flea market finds
GBA Multicart 25 in 1 - 2 dollar
Japanese Gbc hello kitty game - 2 dollars
pac man world Gbc - 2 dollars
CIB ecco tides of time - 4 dollars
Cib sonic the hedgehog - 1 dollar
Cib t2 the arcade game - 1 dollar
Cib after burner master system - 1 dollar
cib master system 2 in 1 - 1 dollar
this is what makes the downs in life worthwhile ;D
CIB Glover and a nes controller

Not for me though; they're Jackie's christmas present. I just got 75 bucks in eBay gift cards. :D
So there will be a few more posts by me in this thread today.
I finally received my New SMB Wii from play-asia.
But I can't play because I have no time due to the big translation assignment.
Earlier this morning i got the greatest game boy game from Manuel, Shin Chan 4! It's complete in box too, thanks man!
Nice! That game looks so cool! Someone needs to port that to the Famicom.
Yeah, that would be quite amazing. Seems possible, too. this game's so fun!
really hope that Play N trade puts Gamestop out of business.
Recently:
Snafu (Intellivision) 5.00
Frog Bog (Intellivision) 5.00
Some Game Boy games pretty cheap.
SNES Model 1b (With all hookups) 50.00
Intelligent Qube (Playstation, complete in Box) 75.00
Theme Park (Playstation, Missing Manual) 1?.00
Sim Theme Park (Playstation, complete in Box) 1?.00
PAC Man World (Playstation, complete in Box) 1?.00
Another Game Genie (Game Boy, with book!) 4.99
Some other stuff.
As many have heard I got an N64DD for 35 bucks with 5 games and fzero X original.
I also have 2 copies of paper mario: TTYD, so I left one factory sealed.
Great stuff, guys! I agree, nenson Play n trade rules!
by the way nenson, Theme Park is awesome. I had it on Saturn and DS, I now have it on a genesis emulator for dreamcast.
I want to lose in Theme Park just to see the suicide scene. Is Theme Park the exact same game on the DS as it is on the PSX, Saturn and 3d0?

Funny. I'm listening to Suicide Solution right now.
hahaha that's nice. Thanks for the link.
I got a sega CD, with The Terminator and Sonic CD! ;D
You lucky bastard. Stop getting stuff! har har har
Har har har i forgot I got some other games as a trade, goldeneye 007 (n64), sonic and knuckles (gen) virtua fighter 2 (gen) and midnight club (ps2)
In the mail from Ericj, I got Pocket Monsters Stadium for the N64. My first import N64 title! Hopefully the next one is Sin & Punishment.
Have you already mutilated region modded your N64 to get that game working? ::):P
Well, I originally planned to just use my Gameshark since the difference is only physical, but for whatever reason, my GS won't even turn on when I put Pocket Monsters Stadium on top. So I guess I'll have to make good use out of gamebits and drill out those tabs.
Are you using a Gameshrk Pro 3.3?

Sin and Punishment was my first ever import game. The controls were hard to get used to, but Treasure outdid themselves again with an awesome game! If I ever hook my Wii to the internet I would download their English version just so I can understand the plot better.
Are the controls any easier from the original N64 version?

I have no idea. Is the version on the title screen? If so, I'll look at that when I get home today.
Quote from: thegreatgonzo on December 18, 2009, 08:39:33 am

The voiceovers are all in English. The only thing Japanese are the menus and the subtitles throughout the game as far as I know. The English translated version Nintendo released on the VC I think is pretty much the menus and subtitles. Not sure though.
You can tell you have a GS Pro by the follwing:
Does your Gameshark have a Parallel port on the back?
Does it have a built in trainer and memory editor?
No, no, and no.
I turned it on, and it says version 2.21.
(http://www.nintendocc.com/game_shark/button.jpg)
Edit: Mine looks exactly like this, and it doesn't say Pro anywhere onscreen or on the actual cartridge. I tried looking for a purpose of that button on the front, but from the website I got that picture from, the description doesn't make much sense.
The GS button is used for certain codes when RAM is injected to the cheat at one time.
I got some christmas gifts from my dad today:
shinobi (ps2)
sonic adventure (dreamcast)
sonic 2 (genesis)
megaman x4 (playstation)
bomberman 64
all games complete except bomberman! Too bad i cant play em 'til xmas. :(
All that button really does is making some codes take effect when you want to turn them on in the middle of a game; otherwise I see no purpose.
On the GS Pro, however, it is used to access the menus (Cheat Search, Hex Editor, etc.) (http://www.famicomworld.com/forum/Themes/famicomworld/images/post/thumbup.gif).

I didn't know Snake Rattle 'n' Roll came was released in Japan! Are you sure it isn't PAL?
Well alright then both my games are PAL, hmmm I wasn't aware.
I was just going on what the seller said.
Also both the MD Snake Rattle N Roll and the MD Battletoads are much smoother graphics then the NES counterparts.
Quote from: Jedi QuestMaster on January 02, 2010, 09:30:58 pm
I was actually a bit disappointed with the MegaDrive version of Snake Rattle Roll:
-the graphics could've been vastly improved, instead of just making it smoother
-different music; made the game feel less epic on the grey stage :( (except I liked the music in the water level)
-the final stage was insane! :o
It was also a bit harder to control (probably because of the Genesis controller)
I have both versions of both games, I do really enjoy the NES SRnR; I cannot compare the gameplay as I have not received either games yet.
But I have watched gameplay videos on youtube, so I do know the graphics are nicely upgraded to match the age differences.
I like the music for the NES version better but the Main theme is still cool on the Megadrive/Genesis.
There's a subliminal message on the second stage in the NES version.
Where?

Its not really Genesis, its Mega Drive but close enough. Also thats odd that they wouldn't have thought to change it a bit to just be random shapes.
It's also present on the NES version, appropriately enough. :D
well i already had it and didnt know and i got it for free. Suikoden II.

i didnt know it was worth what it is until i typed it in ebay.

Sega Genesis Model 1 *Pirate* and 5 Cartridges *Pirate*
Believe me or not this Genesis model is not really by Sega. I've opened the case inside and the motherboard has no sega trademark logo. You can see also its top cover in the lower right and there aint any sega logo aside when you flip it back. I think its made in taiwan clone or somethin.. just bought this from a friend. This unit is also modded, its the good thing. :)

@Jedi - If you talking to me, yes its NTSC.
Actually, I don't think I want to trade it; it has a unusual artwork and case besides. I like pirated stuffs, I just wish they would have mentioned it to be a pirate in the eBay auction.
Its neat to have a boxed pirate, this makes my first one ever.
I got Muramasa: The Demon Blade yesterday. This game is really fun so far. I'm doing it easy the first time (Musa style/Momohime), after I beat this, I'll probably do Musa/Kisuke, then the other style for both characters.
I Got some free stuff!
Kingdom Hearts 2 (PS2)
king of fighters 2003/2002 (XBOX)
pole position (5200)
Duck Hunt (NES)
Game Shark (N64)
Roadblasters (GEN)
Super Mario Advance (GBA)
3-Button Genesis Controller

You're too lucky in the games department, You'd probably trade it for my N64DD though ;D

It's complete? :o
Mine is too, but I don't have a PAL console so everything goes fast.
I see. But yup, complete does rock.
I am happy with it.
How does the cover look like?

How does the cover look like?
It is blue on front, with white font over yellow font "Snake Rattle N Roll" With a multicolored snake and a firework color detail.
On the back, is 6 in game screen-shots on a green background with the same text from the front.
On the Spine, is the Snake Rattle N Roll text with a bar-code below it.
The case is surprisingly very nice for a pirated copy.
At 7-11 I got a mini handheld Super Mario Bros game... And a Twix!
Got my billy mays cartridge today.
(http://img715.imageshack.us/img715/556/dsc00829p.jpg)
According to the seller, this very cartridge contains the soul of Billy Mays. When Billy died, the evil wizard Vince cast his soul to be trapped inside this Madden 99 game for all of eternity, and now I own him.
Got my first Super Famicom! :D
(http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/9140/dscn0964u.jpg)
I must say it's in beautiful shape, really clean and no signs of yellowing. It didn't boot up any games at first but after a thorough cleaning it works great! ;D
Congrats! It looks really nice!

THERE'S A THING CALLED SOAP
IT'S USED FOR WASHING THINGS
Well, I tried that, and for whatever reason, it still didn't work.
Like, the poop broke it? XD
IT'S FULL OF ACID.
Yeah, I guess. I got most of it off with some water, and then I tried cleaning the pins with some alcohol, and it still didn't work, so I just said fuck it, I'll get a new one eventually since they're only like $3.

Cat said that's a lot of new stuff!
(http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff280/luiszena/DSC00596-3.jpg)
Your cats are the best, FamicomFreak. lol. You need to get that Power Joy in your Gameboy and find out what's on it man!!
Damn! Try Super Off Road, it rules!
I found Rollercoaster Tycoon 2 + Timetwister at Zellers for $2.49.
I'm still excited to get my Saturn. ;D
I tried Super Off Road and it never ends man! WTF! I played it until I had everything maxed out! anyways, to dork, I still can't figure how to boot this sucker up, any help will be appreciated....
Probably because it was made for a clone system and not for the Game Boy. Did you try just taking the board out of the case and playing just the board?
Super Off road is best on the genesis, I made a whole review comparing the SNES, NES & Genesis versions. Awesome games, Badlands is the same sort of thing...
Getting my Saturn tomorrow, can't wait ;D I'll keep you posted on all the stuff I get...
Nice! Is it a Jpn or Us Saturn?
Don't know, I'm going to, two stores. One has a better deal, but only one Saturn. I doubt it's a Japan Saturn, but if it is, then I'll need an Action Replay.
Nice! GET PRIMAL RAGE!!!!!!!!
Also i'm getting some games in a trade with orbitmint4:
South Park (N64)
Mario Kart 64 (N64)
Mega Man 8 (PS1)
woot, I'm excited, leaving in like 5 minutes. Theme park is the main reason, I've missed it since my bro pawned the saturn...
Super Mario World 5$
Gamecube August 2001 Demo (CIB 20$)
Gamecube Interactive Demo 18 (CIB 10$)
Well, it went pretty bad... To start off, my mom got lost and didn't have a map, after half an hour. I decided to buy a stupid map, we found the right street, so I go to the first store as panned, but the second one was closed...
Sure enough, I have my Saturn sitting beside me on the computer desk... Only one game; The need For speed. Pathetic, the second store was the store with all the games... dang it, I'll try to burn some games for the Saturn for now.
Damn sorry dude. Atleast you got the Saturn! And lots of good games for it are cheap! (virtua fighter 1 and 2, virtua cop, etc)
I myself just picked up Sunsoft's Batman for Game Boy... Cant wait to play it!
No, I can't burn games either. Looked in the console when I opened it, but I can't find the swith to tape down to keep the disc cover open.
saturn games run relatively cheap. unless its panzer dragoon saga or something insane like that. imports are pretty good prices. some imports are also cheaper than their american counterparts.
Its true,like House of the Dead. Cam3ron, if you could get it to play imports, I could sell/trade you some good games.
AND Azal Panzer Dragoon which is arond $40 instead of $250.
all you need is an action replay 4M<-->1M i got mine for 20 bucks from the convention i went to in october. it works on all games. King of Fighters '95 is the only problem, you will need to do a cartridge swap for that one to work because it uses a ROM cart not a RAM cart. only game that did that.
anyone know how to easy mod the Saturn...? I've seen vides on how to mod them, but the circuit area that has the switch that you need to tape is sticking to the lid of my saturn, I can't find anywhere where that little metal thing you are supposed to tape together is... From seeing videos, it is supposed to stay at the bottom half of the saturn. Instead, it is at the top half of the Saturn.
I have no clue what model mine is, it looks unique compared to the model 1 & 2. It has oval shaped buttons at the top of the console, and like I said, part of the circuit is at the top half of the saturn.
just get an action replay. what are you trying to mod it to do?
play burnt games, the one stupid shop wasn't open, so all I could get at the other store is the console and controllers.
do you have oval buttons and a drive light? are you trying the swap because i dont reccomend it.
Yeah swapping... Why not :???:
swapping kills your saturns disk drive.
Really? That explains why the PS1 is acting a bit stupid...
Super Nintendo JR.
2 Controllers
Super Gameboy, also bought for it Metroid 2 and Castlevania Adventure
Super Mario World
Bram Stokers Dracula
All for $87.93, SNES is so costly.
There's a new R4i? Is yours anything like the ones on http://www.r4iusa.com/card-kit.html
Edit* Oh, wow. They already changed the product from when I bought one (Which was in like September)
Other than the SDHC support, I wonder what else is different between these new ones and the one I got.
Flea Market pickups:
Decap Attack (CIB, GEN) - 2 Dollas
Jurrassic Park (GEN) - free!
Sega Saturn system w/ all hookups, 2 regular controllers, a 3D controller, and Madden 97 - 6 bucks
I also saw a Super Joy Power Player, but it didnt work. Oh well. :)
Damn! I need to look at some flea markets...
Gamestop finds:
Day of Reckoning (GC) 3.99
Day of Reckoning 2 (GC) 3.99

I got some awesome games from orbitmint4 today:
Megaman 8 (PS1)
Mario Kart 64 (N64)
South Park (N64)
Next week i'll be getting a NES (so excited, i'll finally be able to play my NES games!), and Street Fighter 2: Championship Edition (GENESIS).
Ugh, I want some Saturn games >:(
I'll sell you Madden 97. :P
Thanks, but football aint my thing...
You sure? How about a trade! You send me your N64 DD, and I'll send you Madden, AND throw in a FREE broken RF plug! ;D
Yesterday: Xbox 360 (60GB), two controllers (One wireless, one shitty wired 3rd party), one GH:WT controller, Guitar Hero 2 & 3, and Grand Theft Auto IV all for $100.
Today: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
Nice, great deal Nintendodork. Here are my latest finds:

Street Fighter 2: Champion Edition (GEN)

Recently got a SNES Counter Tester, NES Joystick Test Cart (For Sale in Buy/Sell forum), 24 boxed complete NES games.
Man, people know what stuff is worth these days so I ended up paying about $10 a boxed complete game for the NES games but hey
that's still fair I think.
[Prototype] on the 360 for $20 from a friend.
Wireless adapter for the 360
Messenger pack for 360 (Chatpad and headset. Fun to use with MSN. :D)
1600 Microsoft points
3-month Xbox LIVE subscription
Left 4 Dead 2
Halo 3: ODST
Yeah, I wanted to get all the internet stuff out of the way.
I just picked up Kirby's Star Stacker (GB) at a game store. ;D
Where do you find all of these cheap game stores?
Berkeley, California that's where. Around here I seem to have great luck with games. Alot of times its not even at game stores. Just check places that sell used stuff and collectibles... And flea markets of course.
Really? Because last time I went downtown, I found no Saturn games at any of the like 8 pawn shops that I checked...
Sir, i've never been to a pawn shop in my life, and I have great luck. Is there a flea market nearby? Cause i've gotten great games at flea markets. Theres tons of cheap saturn games on ebay too...
new stuff from the past week!
Thanks Jedi!

Ah gotta get the ram adapter first! Also, not an actual game, but I just got a Kingdom Hearts T-Shirt from Hot Topic.
CIB Tony Hawk Ride for Wii (board, game, manual, etc.) for $40 at Goodwill.
Is it any good? If I saw it for $40, I would probably get it, but I've just heard so many negative things about it.
I got Forza Motorsport 3 today. Secret Walmart codes FTW!

I can't get the f*cking skateboard to calibrate, so I have no idea if it's any good or not. I'm probably going to take it back for a refund. It was an impulse buy and short of buying a new one and just swapping out the board & then returning it with the "bad" board in it, I don't really know where to go from here with it. I'd like to smash Tony Hawk in the face with it, especially after hearing him repeat over & over during the calibration process that, "It's probably the easiest thing you'll do all day." Yeah, go f*ck yourself, Tony...
Yeah it's pure crap
Body Harvest (N64) $9.99
Twisted Edge (N64) $9.99
Conker: Live and Reloaded (Xbox) I had to have this game as soon as I got my 360.
Just noticed that Famicom Freak got Body Harvest too, have you played it yet?
Oh yeah, I got Doom for Sega Saturn a while ago.
Last trip to the flea market and a friend hooking me up with some games brings the month to a close....pics below!

What is that controller to? ???
It's the Power Joy controller. It connects into the handle of the Power Joy for Player 2, I guess. I've never tried mine.
Wow - that faded SNES clearly was one of those transition-types as far as plastic goes.
wow... i still don't have US games in my lyb... oh i think there are few but sad to say all are pirates :'(
Just picked up Road Rash 3 for Genesis. :)
I repeat; Road Rash!! ;D
More PSP stuff considering it's my only console right now... :-\
AVP: Requiem (PSP)
Star Wars Battlefront: Renegade Squadron (PSP)
Lol yeah I thought of you when I saw Road Rash. Considering I only had 3 dollars, it was the only game I could afford. (Besides Madden 97, ofcourse) ;D
At a Salvation Army (i was hoping to find a prototype) but I got ExciteBike 64 for $1.08. It has marker and a Blockbuster Rental sticker on it unfortunately.

Super Mario World standalone old version. 10 bucks from themushroomkingdom.net
Damn! That sucks, Gremlin. If Red doesnt work then cant you get your money back?
I can replace your batteries if you want.
I feel the same way. If a label is torn or damaged, I will not be happy. The same goes for saving.
Damn, so sorry! That also worries me, because I have Pokemon Silver coming in the mail. Anyway, the latest game findings :

Zoids Densetsu! Came in the mail today, the manual is from my original copy.
I couldnt find my original box anywhere... I think maybe I also gave the box with the game when I loaned it out to the fellow whom never gave it back!! >:(
I am glad I kept the manual though.
I have some zoids game on GC, it sucks.

Buy my favorite game, Zoids: Densetsu!
Only one problem, this seller stole the image from the one I bought, I know because its the exact same picture and mine has that scratch thats pictured. Lol.
Couldn't go to flea market, so no Mario 2. I did pick up some games from Collector's Realm though...
Perfect Dark (N64) - 4 dollars
Ex-Mutants (GEN) - 2 dollars
Lion King (GEN) - 1 dollar

Super Famicom (boxed)
Must've cost a hefty sum, eh?
Yes name a price!!!
http://shop.ebay.ca/?_from=R40&_trksid=p3907.m38.l1313&_nkw=super+famicom+boxed&_sacat=See-All-Categories
For Famicom Freak.
It was quite a good price. :D
I don't buy stuff when it's too expensive.
awaaaa!!! prices are high! To me at least but if you really want one I guess it is worth it.
I'm actually interested in getting Ice blue and Orange transparent N64's. They look so awesome.
Just picked up a complete CIB Mario Kart Super Circuit (GBA)!
Just came back home with 5000 Microsoft points, an iPod Touch, and cooling dock for my computer (finally), a case for my Xbox 360, and a few other things.
Today I got:
SNES games:
Monopoly
Mortal Kombat
Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3
Top Gear
Genesis:
Sonic 3D Blast
Spiderman X-Men
Goofy's Hysterical History Tour
Warlock
Boogerman
Taz in escape from Mars
Aaahh!!! Real Monsters
and a really messed up copy of Sonic 3
$30 Is that a decent deal?
Top Gear is really good, but Top Gear 3000 is amazingly good, do not pass it up if you see it!
Good stuff gremlin
Absolutely! I can spot a few nice gems in there. I've been looking for a copy of Sonic 3D Blast recently but I refuse to pay outrageous prices for cartridges in terrible condition.
Good, good.
I was just mildly worried that I may have overpaid.
Awesome!! Ive really been wanting Boogerman and Spiderman/X-Men.
Quote from: Nightstar699 on March 27, 2010, 08:08:01 pm
Awesome!! Ive really been wanting Boogerman and Spiderman/X-Men.
Boogerman is infinite kinds of awesomeness, and I love X-Men videogames.
Me too! As soon as my Saturn AV cable arrives, i will try to find X-Men: Children of the Atom by Capcom.
I have Wolverine: Adamantium Rage and for another Spiderman I have the game Separation Anxiety... both on the Sega
Aw, lucky! I want Seperation Anxiety. Its the sequal to Spiderman and Venom:Maximum Carnage (which i have, sick Beat em up.)
QuoteMe too! As soon as my Saturn AV cable arrives, i will try to find X-Men: Children of the Atom by Capcom.
Just curious, my old saturn had regular AV cables, but the new one I bought came with S-video cords. Which way was normal? It's the first console I've boughten that has S-video cables.
Quote from: Cam3ronFW on March 27, 2010, 09:44:28 pm

Composite is the norm and almost always included, S-Video cables are mostly optional accessories.
For Saturns though? Mine has a Composite outlet on it, but it came with the S-video. Take note that this one is a model 1 with the oval buttons, and my old saturn was a model 2. Both were used though.
I got Stunt Race FX in the mail today.
(http://img.brothersoft.com/screenshots/softimage/s/stunt_race_fx_for_snes-308219-1259723564.jpeg)
I'm a sucker for gimmicks like the FX chip.
I Got A Boxed Version Of Super Mario Bros for Famicom For 15.00
I used to go to Nebraska City with my mom to get her nails done or something, and then after we'd always do something. The place had a SNES and quite a few pretty fun games. Stunt Race FX was always pretty fun whenever I played it.
I have Stunt Race FX with the manual. Today I got my SNES Burn-in Test cart!

I picked up Wario Land 3 (GBC) at Pink Godzilla! ;D
Just bought Left 4 Dead game of the year edition for 20 bucks at Future shop :o Probably the last 360 game I'll buy unless Timesplitters 4 is ever released >:(
There is bad news though, rode my bike to Future shop and witnessed a car accident right beside me when I was riding on a bike trail beside a busy road. No ones hurt thankfully but the guy that caused it was a complete idiot.

Pokemon Emerald (GBA) - $12.50
Just picked up Battlefield: Bad Company 2 at Walmart. Last night I ordered a new case, some LEDs and a new controller shell for my Xbox. What I want to do is put on the new case, which is clear, and has LEDs in it that change color depending on the temperature of the Xbox, and also digitally displays the temperature. I'm also going to modify my controller for rapid fire, put it in a translucent shell, and put LEDs in all the buttons. Finally, I'm going to replace the ring of light (the green LEDs around the power button) with a red one, to resemble the RROD. :P Once it's all done, I'll be sure to post the final product.
Be sure to conserve the green ladybug for good luck when doing the case replacement, and you might also want to replace the warranty banana (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2a1CzNGNdrs) with a fresher one while you're at it. ::)
Almost every GB & GBC game - $ 2.00 :P

That's great and Sonic 2 Game Gear edition is bull-crap, I don't recommend this game to anyone, it's not like Sonic 2 that was released for Sega Mega Drive, nothing like it, I was disappointed.
nah, it's still sonic and I own it on VC. Sonic chaos is cool too.
@FFreak, just wow. You must be some rich guy with a mansion and doom on 32X! I don't care what people say, it's still doom! Only reason I want a 32X.
Yeah, Sonic 2 is 'aight. Sonic Chaos is cool too, i have it on my Power Shock. I've gotten some more stuff, too:
Bubsy (GEN)
Mortal Kombat II (GB)
NIB Yobo FC Console (NES Player)
NIB Yobo Light Gun
The Yobo is great, I am so happy I can finally play my NES games. I know I should get a real one, but I'm getting a boxed NES for my birthday, so until then, the yobo is plenty.
> FFreak, just wow. You must be some rich guy with a mansion and doom on 32X! I don't care what people say, it's still doom!
This made me laugh, don't take as an offence, but anyone can have what he has.
I would've beaten FamicomFreak if someone would've accepted me already (get a job, ffs).
Of course anyone can have what I have, all you have to do is look real close. Man today I found some awesome new stuff including Valkyrie Profile CIB for 1.95 and a game cube for 7.95 that came with the gameboy player as a bonus! YAY!
My friend got a Silver Boxed NGC for 10 USD and you a NGC with GB player for 7 USD, pretty nice deals. :)

Yes, I took the picture after cleaning it up. :P
FamicomFreak, great finding!
Marvel vs Capcom for Dreamcast, this was one awesome game, and still it is.
I don't have the original so in a few time just until I get it legit, I'm gonna download it and burn.
i found phantasy star III (original, genesis, CIB) for 20 bucks
Picked up Dynasty Warriors Gundam 2 on Friday. Kind of disappointed with it. It's really easy so far. Maybe later in the game it'll get more exciting (and I should probably turn the difficulty up from easy :P).
I went all out today! Famicom Freak strikes again!

Sorry for so many photos!
I'll take the Donkey Kong GB game and the Jaleco prototype. Please and thanks. :D
donkey kong on GBA rules!!
lol at Wave Race on GB :D
Holy crap! That's a lot of stuff! Very cool stuff, too! I never realized the TurboBooster was so huge and ugly, I'd never seen one before.
I had to check my mom's email for a password to a school thing, and while looking for that message, I found a receipt from Play-Asia for Mushihimesama Futari 1.5. One of my birthday gifts apparently. :D
Awesome! Great bullet-hell shooter.
I got some games today.
(http://i736.photobucket.com/albums/xx6/protoman1027/100507-201838.jpg)
Sky Shark (NES) - I love this game so much, used to play it in the arcades years ago.
Super Mario Bros. / Duck Hunt (NES) - finally own the nes classic
Golf (NES) - It was so cheap, so why not :P
Bomberman GB (Game boy) - Sick bomberman game.
More games to come soon!
;D I'll let a photo speak today:
(http://i374.photobucket.com/albums/oo190/famicom_manuel/FWfinds/ffxiii01.jpg)
Edit: Muahahahahahaha!!!
You paid 980 yens for that Final Fantasy game? If so that was very cheap.
Not a Final Fantasy fan, but if I was (I never liked FF too much) I'd be "wow you were very lucky to get at that price" or somewhat.
Yes indeed! ;D Even if I don't like it, 980 Yen isn't a big loss.
The store only had one copy for 980 Yen. The others they had were 1980.
Metroid Prime + Echos Demo $3.89 I now have 0.00 and 0.20 versions of prime.
Went to the flea market today and came back with a great haul for all of twenty bucks. Let's dive right in.
Here's a Game Boy I got with a bit of a dirty screen, but I'm pretty sure it'll work when I start it. Haven't put new batteries in yet. Two minor scratches on the edge of the screen, but overall I'm pretty happy with it.
(http://img706.imageshack.us/img706/9141/findsgameboy1.jpg)
Also this came with it. Anyone played it? Irem makes some good games, but I've never heard of this one.
(http://img100.imageshack.us/img100/2051/findskungfumaster.jpg)
This was my first kind of unusual find of the day, a Power Joy III! I've heard this is a piece of crap, but I had to get it anyway. It looks like it might not even work, I hooked it up when I got home (with the power adapter for my Famicom, the adapter that came with the Power Joy has a bunch of loose crap in it that makes noise when I shake it so I'm not sure it's safe to use) and nothing happened. This may be due to something else, though...
(http://img72.imageshack.us/img72/1948/findssuperjoy31.jpg)
The Power Joy's back cover is missing (as are the second controller and gun, but I don't care about those), and it seems like there might be batteries needed. But I can't imagine why a machine that's already hooked up to an outlet would need batteries. Can anyone explain this? Do I need to jury-rig a new cover so this thing can work? Is it even worth the trouble? At least the pins seem like they're in good shape, albeit dusty.
(http://img512.imageshack.us/img512/4223/findssuperjoy32.jpg)
I've saved the best for last. This will blow your mind. Actually it probably won't, but it surprised the hell out of me.
(http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/6071/findsbowlingandalienrai.jpg)
That's right! Two CIB Microvision games! And when I say CIB, I mean it! These things are about as near mint as you can get for obscure thirty year old electronics. For those that don't know, the Microvision was the first ever portable console to use swappable cartridges, and the last until the Nintendo Game Boy. I am a huge nerd for this thing although I've never owned one. You know what, that picture seemed a little lame, it didn't quite incorporate the joy I felt at finding these games. Let me show you what they looked like to me when I first saw them at the flea market:
(http://img192.imageshack.us/img192/5784/findsbowlarlensflare.jpg)
LENS FLARES, SUCKERS!!
Side view!
(http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/5851/findsbowlar2.jpg)
Here are the cartridges themselves. Huge suckers, aren't they? They actually went over the entire front of the Microvision, covering the screen and the keypad so that different games would have different screen and button layouts (despite the screen only having a 16 x 16 resolution). Another interesting thing about the Microvision is that the processor was not in the console itself. Instead, each cartridge had its own separate CPU. I'm not sure if this is unique to the Microvision or not. I had to look closely at these before I could tell that they'd been played at all, they look so pristine. Bowling, though, has marks on its buttons from someone's fingernails.
(http://img175.imageshack.us/img175/9609/findsbowlar3.jpg)
Here's the back of Bowling. Note the top, where the connector is. Also apparently the CPU is under that plastic bit under the sticker, but I've been told never to open that because the engineering is so shoddy that static electricity from my hand can destroy the thing. Horrifying. Finding working Microvision stuff is a challenge because they were built pretty poorly. In addition to that flaw, there were battery problems, terrible screens that died at a moment's notice, and buttons that could be destroyed by not trimming your fingernails often enough.
(http://img294.imageshack.us/img294/174/findsbowlar5.jpg)
Okay, this is the last Microvision shot. Check out the static shield instructions! Another design flaw? Mine, unfortunately, is no longer sticky. Haven't checked the other box yet.
(http://img695.imageshack.us/img695/4962/findsbowlar4.jpg)
In addition to that stuff, I picked up Super Mario Bros/Duck Hunt and Metal Storm (a personal favorite) for the NES, an Ink Spots/Ella Fitzerald 78, and a cool View-Master.
But that's not all, a few days ago I checked Craigslist and saw that some local guy had some Atari stuff for cheap. I stopped over on the way back from the doctor and picked it up. It's all dirty as hell and smells like cigarettes, but check out that Supercharger (top middle)!
(http://img243.imageshack.us/img243/6416/findsatarifromcraigslis.jpg)
The day before that I got some Atari games from a thrift store, but most of them I got again from the Craigslist guy for way cheaper, so I feel pretty dumb about that. Dunno what I'll do with 'em now.
(http://img404.imageshack.us/img404/8964/findsatarigoodwill.jpg)
That's it! Sorry for so many images!
I want a Microvision so bad! Sucks that you can hardly find one now that doesn't have a horrible screen or costs tons of money.
Oh, those games got me excited and I forgot to tell you that the Power Joy isn't worth the trouble. It'd be easier and more effective to just get a converter if you're just looking to play Famicom games.
Really cool stuff you found.
The Power Joy can operate with either batteries or with the ac adapter. If you use the ac adapter, please remember to unplug it once you're done using it. The adapter is known to malfunction and could cause a fire.
Thanks guys. I've got a Sharp Twin already, I mostly just picked up the Power Joy for the novelty value.
I forgot to mention that the kid that sold me the Microvision games gave them to me for $1 each. I love flea markets now.
Does your Power Joy have Super Shrek bros. on it?
Yes, watch out for the Super Joy's power supply. I once plugged mine in and it vibrated violently with a loud hum. I threw it out promptly.
All right, I'll toss that power supply. Haven't used it anyway. Actually, I just realized that the reason I can't get it to work might be because I forgot how to operate the old television I've been using... Oops. I'll try the thing again, then I'll see if it has Shrek Bros. I assume that's a hack?
I have a microvision somewhere. Haven't seen it in like a decade...
My brother bought one of those rare black dreamcasts today.
Got some more super fami games in today.
(http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y101/pikkonson/superfamigames-1.png)
In addition to Mushihimesama Futari, I got $175, 4000 Microsoft points, and Call of Duty: World at War for my birthday today!
Sonic Adventure 2 Battle & Metal Gear Portable Ops Boxed
Still can't get the Power Joy to work. Would it have given any feedback if I plugged it into a power supply with the wrong polarity? The power supply I used can switch polarity and I forgot that it was set to the Sharp Twin's polarity when I used it on the Power Joy, so I may have damaged it. However there wasn't any reaction when I plugged it in or powered it on, so I think it may have broken before that. Come to think of it, that may indicate a problem with the power system itself.
I took it apart to look for damage and didn't find anything obvious to my novice eyes, although one wire looked to be pretty flat in one spot, I'll check that out later. Also it had the worst soldering I've seen in my life, but I'm sure that's common with these clones. I found a piece of paper loosely glued to the back of one of the boards, maybe to keep them from shorting when powered on? Although they don't seem to be close enough to touch when screwed in. And does anyone know what the switch on the brown board does? I'm curious.
I also tried the Game Boy, and it works! It does have the common vertical dead line, but I checked that out online and it seems like an easy fix, just need a tri-wing screwdriver. Can anyone recommend the best way to clean a Game Boy screen? Mine's dirty as hell.
Reach down into where the batteries of the PowerJoy III go and look for a switch. Should be in there. Flip it and then try to boot the system!
Thanks. I believe I tried the switch already with no luck, but I'll put it back together tomorrow, try again, and let you know how it goes. So does that switch have something to do with the power input, or what? I'm a total newbie to this stuff.
UPDATE: All right, I tried the switch in both positions with no luck. Just to verify, the Power Joy takes (+)--c--(-), right? Would 800 mA be too much for it, or should I try to find something with less? I haven't actually tried it with the 350 mA power supply that came with it as it looks totally unreliable and borderline dangerous. If none of that stuff's the problem, I suspect either the DC in or the power switch to be faulty. I'm sure I can find a switch to replace the one on the board, so that may be the next step. I dunno why I'm even bothering, I guess I just need something to do. I also took some pictures of the guts and can post those if anyone thinks that'll help.
APPENDUM: Just got an Atari 7800. Guy I bought it from said it was working a week ago when he tested it, but when I tried it the power flickered on for just a second, then turned off. I'm gonna look for a replacement button and see if that fixes it. I'll probably call the guy tomorrow to let him know, dunno if I'll ask for some of my money back or what. It was cheap and I won't mind doing this if it works, but it would've been nice if it had just worked like it's supposed to.
ADDITION: Got the Atari working, sort of. I'm not convinced the power button isn't faulty, but the main problem seemed to be with the power supply. Fiddling with it a bit got it working, but the picture and sound produce some noise while playing.
2 Dreamcast VMU's.
Wow, I made a great find today. At a store near my house, I found a Complete in Box Secret of Mana for the SNES for just 10 dollars! It sells for so much more on ebay, it even comes with the poster. Here is a pic:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/40402573@N08/4607070047/
Pretty cool, but I dont really like RPGs. So I guess I might sell or trade it. ;D
Madden 96 (Game Boy) Only played if for the enhanced SGB sounds.
After a long time of not going flea market hunting, I went to a big one with a friend yesterday and here's what I found:
Old Compaq laptop, really dirty but in good condition sans charger. Looks like it could be a 486 or early Pentium with a color display. I love me sum old computer stuff and it was so cheap I couldn't let it pass up, even when I noticed that the power connector got loose and it was rattling inside the computer.
(http://133fsb.files.wordpress.com/2010/05/laptop_dirty.jpg)
The battery was of course completely dead, so the only way I could check if the lappy was working at all is by repairing the power jack and plugging some laptop charger into it. I opened it up to find that the power connector was completely broken and mangled beyond repair. Not having a suitable replacement and since I only wanted to know if it did anything at all before spending money on replacement parts, I soldered two wires directly to the motherboard which I routed through the charger plug hole, so that I could apply some direct power into it.
(http://133fsb.files.wordpress.com/2010/05/laptop2_dirty.jpg)
Yes that is speaker wire coming out of the computer's power jack. ::)
I used an old IBM charger to apply some power to the bare wires and lo and behold, it worked! ;D
It's a 75 MHz Pentium with 40 MB of RAM, 2 GB hard disk, 640x480 color display, 16 bit sound and Windows 95 OSR1.
The built in trackpoint isn't working and the CPU fan sounds like a coffee grinder, but everything else works fine. Old Compaq lappy will get a full cleaning and restoration job sometime in the future. ;)
Here's a really weird one for us in the New World. An European SCART lead! :o
(http://133fsb.files.wordpress.com/2010/05/scartlead.jpg)
Of course the seller didn't have the slightest clue about what that thing was so I got it for next to nothing. This is the first time I've ever seen a SCART plug in person, they're virtually non-existant around here so I consider myself quite lucky on finding this one.
Another mini NES clone. Satoshi had me looking around for one so I picked it up for him.
(http://133fsb.files.wordpress.com/2010/05/creation_dirty.jpg)
Aside from being extremely dirty, it's missing a plastic piece and the power input jack was loose. After resoldering the power jack I fired it up to see if it worked and if it had some built in games. It turned out to have the elusive "double menu" multi game, the one that displays a 20 in 1 menu on power up and a 22 in 1 menu with different games after a reset. It's got some sound problems (sounds really tinny and distorted). Oh and it's a discrete clone with a socketed UMC chipset, and it seems like the built in games are soldered-on Mask ROMs instead of a removable internal Famicom board.
I'll finish to clean and fix this one up when I get some free time. This week will be chocked full of exams for me. :-\
Also I found a Famicom pirate which I posted on the specific Famicom/FDS findings thread, and a replacement TV remote that I needed which is too boring to take a picture of.
Cool stuff! That Compaq looks pretty similar to one I had years ago. I miss that thing.
Nice NES Clone
I always love your finds 133mhz, great stuff.
megaman X for 14.00 today
Went and spent some of my birthday money on Amazon. Just pre-ordered the limited edition of DeathSmiles (a horizontal maniac shmup by Cave, same people who made Mushihimesama) for the Xbox 360. The pre-order comes with the soundtrack and a faceplate. The soundtrack will probably be pretty cool, but I doubt I'll ever use the faceplate. I also bought a Hori Real Arcade Pro EX-SE arcade stick, which I've read nothing but positive reviews about, and I like the color scheme too. I was trying to stay away from the EX2 because of that, and because it's the most common stick around. I wanted something different! :D
(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41-SOS-qPaL._SL500_AA300_.jpg)
Got a tri-wing screwdriver for my Game Boy (the heat gun trick seems to be working and I oughtta have it pixel perfect soon), a bit to take apart NES games (I think it works for N64 games too, what about SNES games?), and THIS:
(http://lh4.googleusercontent.com/wmrH2XyslC1JDndCAf_BcGtopWnyAhTU-jSN9-uaTElqbxyXb8EojdACjUn2Ae5XuqlXEcHKs5v_gSSWiyPoLtSCnB5k_DvbOTE3BCCrOevo0V5_7wA1g9sB7Tbp)
3 Ghz quad-core processor, 8 GB RAM (12 or 16 max, can't remember), 1 GB video card, 500 GB HDD (hoping to get a solid state drive when they get bigger/cheaper). Oh my goodness I love this thing. Can't wait to get some new games to really push it.
A state program that helps the disabled pay for electronics and other support devices helped me pay for it. Wonderful people.
Love the new laptop, I'm probably going to be upgrading laptops next year, mine is getting quite old(3 years already)
My old one was 5 years old. It was running pretty well but its fan died and it was just time to replace it. I'll miss it though, it was one of the last Thinkpads that IBM made.
Update on the Power Joy: it's definitely dead. Went over it with a volt meter and everything is working fine; the wires, the switch, the power connector, everything. In a last ditch effort I tried the terrifying power supply that came with it. It had actually been rattling really loudly when shaken, so I opened it up expecting to find something blown apart. To my relief, it appeared that a bunch of glue had overheated, become brittle, and fallen apart, and that was what was causing the rattling. I also noticed that whoever assembled the (remarkably primitive) power supply neglected to cut the ends of the wires soldered to the diode bridge. I removed those and gave it a shot, but the Power Joy still wouldn't power on, so I'm giving up and I'll just use it for parts, unless I decide to try and rig up something to see if it'll run off battery power. It's missing the battery cover, so I don't have the positive, uh, thingies (I forget the actual term), and I don't know what kind of batteries it takes.
Today was a great day, this morning I got a package from Speedy06car, we traded and here's what I got:
Super Mario Bros 3 (NES)
Legend of Zelda (NES)
Shinobi (game gear)
G-LOC Air Fighter (Game gear)
the game gear games were kinda freebies. After school I picked up these:
Resident Evil 2 (PS1)
Memory Card (PS1)
Plus, more stuff later this week. I am happy. ;D
REsident evil 2 is an awesome pick up. Congrats!
Wow, what started as a shitty day turned out pretty awesome. Today I picked up a complete in box Breath of Fire for SNES, it includes both posters and everything. It's pretty cool, and I got it for only 10 dollars. Oh yeah, and I also got Wrath of the Black Manta for NES. ::)
Nice stuff you lucky bastard!
Thank you!! ;D
picked up another N64 DD for 5 bucks this time
(Joking) ;D
Dang I was going to say, nigga yo lucky! I picked up some stuff like SNES, n64 games, and snes games. Photos on my blog~!

Do you know anything about it? It looks to be one of those limited edition ones. That's all I have been able to find out.
Nope. I got mine for $10 at Gamers, so I don't know anything more about it than you. lol.
dang, well I hope to revive this baby soon...
Got Resident Evil Zero (Disc 1) for NGC today.
(http://i50.tinypic.com/29o1p37.jpg)
Played it for a while and liked it, I got this from a person because if it was bought by me it had to be in complete condition (DVD Case + Manual + 2 discs).
I know I'm missing the 2nd disc but it's okay.
I went to get rid of my old clothes and stuff I didn't wanted anymore to the flea market and ended up picking some items up. Info on prices and how I got some of them in my blog like usual. Thanks!

Cya later.
You have that "Multi Game Cartridge"
One day, I'm going to get my grubby hands on one of those.
Yeah it's the third one I found at the flea.
You can find foreign games at flea markets in the US? That's amazing!
Picked up a copy of Berzerk for the 2600 at the flea market and a cheap Super Game Boy. Never noticed the Super Famicom symbol on it before.
Famicom multcart is for sale btw. 25 shipped in the USA if anyone is interested!
$25 for that multicart seems a bit steep. I just passed on buying the same cart for $5.
Yeah I know but I can always work something out with the buyer. Not saying it's the final price.
It is a great multi though, has 101 unique games.
Well, if it has 101 unique games on it, then it would be worth the price you're asking. There must be different versions of it, since the one I saw definitely had very little in the way of unique games on it.
Nice finds, nonetheless.
Super Famicom, I didnt have to purchase it.
I have a friend in Japan whom decided to give me a gift; hurray for free!!
I will be posting pictures whenever it arrives in the mail to my house.
Lucky gremlin.....I don't have such nice friends around here....sob sob..
nice new pick ups. I have some new ones myself but they will come later tonight....

When you are friends with someone so long it doesnt bother you to much to give a friend something mildly priced for free.
got Sonic 2 on XBLA for online. Not sure if that counts but it's my second copy.
Bought a Complete in box Alien Syndrome for NES. Very cool game, it even included something unexpected, a nintendo power "now you're playing with power" poster. Cool, now I have like 20 game posters I have to put up.
New additions horray!

That Game Gear is so schweet! :D
Thanks, sadly the screen is not working properly so I am selling it on ebay for parts.
What genesis games are those??
I used to have that same GG screen magnifier. I wonder why they stopped making those for handhelds?

This might just be the one I used, but my experience with the one for my Game Boy was that it made things the graphics kind of globby and unattractive. Plus it's one more thing to lug around.

Sunset Riders rocks!
That game brings back memories, I love the horse riding levels.
Picked all of this from a craiglist ad for 60 bucks.

Wow, nice one! Usually when I see deals like that on Craigslist, they're way out of my price range.
Kirby 64! Best game on the 64!
Scored myself a nice pair of eDimensional 3D shutter glasses for PC: :D

They work fine on my mom's PC with XP and a GF MX4000 video card, but I've had no luck with my Windows 7 rig and a GF 7800GTX. No big deal though, I'm really stoked about the electronic experiments I could do with them. ::) ;D

:o Wow
Everything is for sale as well....
Holy crap FF! I was just at the flea market and found some pretty good deals (and one that was fantastic but out of my price range), but nothing like that!
I picked up an SNES Game Genie (with a sticker that says "super game" on it! Awesome!), a copy of Metroid, Flashback with box and Sonic Spinball CIB for Genesis, a Game Boy color without the battery cover, and I went back to the guy who sold me the broken Power Joy and he graciously gave me another one for free.
Also picked up an odd N64 controller. It looks exactly like a Superpad, but it has no brand name or text anywhere and no slow or turbo buttons. The buttons and joystick seem pretty solid, but I heard that the best Superpads have metal joysticks or something; this one seems to be plastic. Don't have an N64 to test it with anyway. Oh, and I bought a fossilized dinosaur poop for a friend's graduation gift.
Does anyone know if a Genesis Model 1 power supply will work with a Power Joy? This one didn't come with a power supply and I think I threw the old one out because it was so messed up.
EDIT: Nevermind, I found the old power supply and got it working. Damn, it sure heats up in a hurry (both the power supply and the system). I think I'll play it with batteries when I can.
Do all the Power Joys have the same games?
Power joys vary with different games sire.
I picked up DeadRising and The Orange Box both on the 360 for $20 a piece yesterday. I really like both of them. I recommend them to anyone who has a 360. DeadRising is cool because you have to accept that you won't, no matter how good at the game you are, will not be able to everything the game has to offer in the 72 hour time period you have in the mall. You also only have one save slot so you can't mess up unless you want to start from your really weird save point again, and you also have to choose which survivors to kill and which ones to save, because some are nice, but most are evil. My favorite games on the Orange Box are Portal and HL2. I haven't played any of the episodes yet because I'm waiting until I complete HL2.
Flatout 2 (Xbox)
Kirby's Dreamland 2 (GB)
Godzilla (GB)
Ghouls n Ghosts (Genesis)
Really dirty MKII pirate for a couple of bucks. I'm mainly interested in the SFC type cart shell.

Notice the lockout chip clone disguised as a 74C811 (a non existent member of the 74 TTL series chips, basically they pulled that number out of their ass).
EDIT 2: Just tried it out. It's got red blood so I presume this is the (U) version of the game.
I got five packages today! Always a nice surprise! Okay, so I'd been tracking four of them online so it wasn't exactly a surprise, but still. The first package was a Radio Shack AC adapter that I got for a lot cheaper than dumb ol' Radio Shack sells it. Need to buy the plug to fit my Twin Fami, but it's good to have it. As for the rest, well:
(http://img704.imageshack.us/img704/4092/20100604lootmicrovsn.jpg)
Yes, that is a Microvision on the right. Yes, it works. Yes, I am freaking ecstatic about it (especially for the price I got it at). I probably should have taken a picture before I made it all ugly with the static shield, but I was too eager to play a game. To no great surprise, the games kind of suck, but this is a piece of gaming history and I am overjoyed to own it. Now I just need to come up with a way to protect it from the destroying rays of the sun and humidity. Maybe a big insulated lunchbox...
Also, take a look at this thing I stumbled across while messing with my Super Joy:
(http://img683.imageshack.us/img683/5558/20100530loderunnerbmhac.jpg)
Is that Bomberman in Lode Runner? Are there going to be a lot of weird things like that? This is my first multicart so I don't really know what to expect. I did find out last night while trying to play Contra with a friend that an Atari 7800 controller hooked to the system has the ability to cause major graphics glitches in certain games when you press the left button (I don't have the second controller that came with the Super Joy). Try it out if you've got the controller and a Super Joy. The first-party Genesis controllers do nothing except shoot in Contra, but you shoot by pressing down on the d-pad. I want to get my hands on the other controllers that use that connector now so I can see what else I can make this stuff do.
Spoiler
Lode Runner is Bomberman
I haven't played Lode Runner yet, though - but it's coming up on my list.
(http://i11.tinypic.com/6aq3fd3.jpg)
Not my picture but I figured I'd buy this 90's classic back since I lost my old CD. The guides and the expansion pack don't hurt either :D Now if I could only find Red alert and AoE II somewhere...
Awesome glad the games arrived safely.
A few days ago I saw a Sega Pico system at a thrift store for $12. I didn't pick it up because I'm not into collecting rare Sega stuff, and I couldn't justify spending $12 on it when I've got more interesting stuff in mind. Today I went to the same place and there it was, but this time it had a sticker that said "Not working, $5". I'm always in for an electronics challenge, especially if it's cheap or free, so this time I picked it up. Repairing all kinds of electronics crap is one of my favorite pastimes, sometimes I enjoy it more than actually using the damn things. ::)
(http://img28.imageshack.us/img28/2579/segapico.jpg)
The lady at the checkout asked me "Did you notice that it's not working?" to which I replied "Yes, I do." :P
Before busting it open I decided to plug it in and see whether it gave any signs of life. And to my disappointment, it worked perfectly! It came with a 101 Dalmatians math game on it and I can't seem to find any flaws.
Guess I'm the only one who complains about buying broken stuff which isn't actually broken! ::)
Just got the "adaptaplug" for my AC adapter and tried out the Twin Famicom with the aid of an NES to Famicom adapter (bought from michaelthegreat) and the copy of Star Wars above. It works perfectly. I'm overjoyed to say the least, I've been trying to get something to play my NES stuff for months. First I ordered an NES-2 which never came, then I got the Twin Fami but it had no cords or converter, then I got a Yobo that wouldn't work because I'm an idiot, then I had further idiocy-derived problems with the Twin Famicom. Now, finally, I can play these things on a real licensed Nintendo product. This is a wonderful day indeed.

You should return it. :P
That's weird, though - did it come with all the connectors? If so, did you use the connectors it came with?
Are Picos rare or something? We've got one sitting in our basement from when my sister was a kid.
Yesterday, I got this in the mail!
(http://i45.tinypic.com/9kumiv.jpg)
Thanks VGthing!
I think I've seen a Pico or two at thrift stores before. I don't think they're all that rare, but I could be wrong.
Wah. I really have to get around to attempting to fix the Vectrex my friend gave me. The CRT scares me, though.
Do you know what's wrong with it? If the problem isn't extremely complicated, you should really get around to fixing it up. Mine Storm is a nice Asteroids clone. I'm planning on getting a flashcart from Vectrex.biz (that is, if the creator is still taking orders). Since it's got the space to hold all of the official Vectrex games plus a few extras, I think it'll be a pretty good deal. The only thing is that I won't have the overlays. I don't care about them really, but there are a few I would like to have. Do you have any games for it?
Today I got a package from my friend Mr. Nintendo on Nintendoage, here is what it contained
Tetris (Game boy)
Castlevania Adventure (Game boy)
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 (Japanese Game boy)
Tetris 2 (Gameboy, a free bonus!)
(http://i954.photobucket.com/albums/ae24/nightstar699/Image0192.jpg)
I am happy. ;D
Nice ones! What's TMNT2 like? I have the first one, and although I have happy memories of playing it as a child it kinda sucks.
TMNT 2 is really cool.... It kinda seems like a mix of NES TMNT 1 and TMNT 2: The Arcade Game. Very good game, you should check it out!
sweet imports man!
Thanks! :3
Does the Tetris have the alternative A-TYPE song?
Nope, just the normal tetris theme.

I don't know what's wrong with it. It was my friend's and I've seen it working. He wanted to get rid of it, so he put it in his truck (in the cab) and dropped it off in the morning. When we tried it out at my place, it didn't work. The Vectrex was really cold (it had been in the truck overnight) so I'm worried that there may have been some condensation on the inside or something and we fried it when we plugged it in.
Don't have any game carts for it. I actually had the same plan as you with the multicart.
I got:
Gamer Boy Color demo Cartridge
I recently picked up a Commodore 64 computer from a friend of mine that was moving and didn't want it. Just the keyboard, hookups and manual though. Now I have to hunt for parts.
Here are new additions!

Please tell me you're not one of those people who mock Doom on Saturn for it's graphics? It's quite good for a port...
Also, my bro is buying me back my favourite strategy game back after he pawned it. The irony. Turns out my grandpa has an Ebay and Theme Park on Saturn is my birthday gift ;D ;D ;D
one of these. Hopefully he doesn't mistakingly get me shin theme park :-X

no wai I love doom in any console!
Good then! only part it's missing is the music...
Olympic Summer Games Genesis (CIB)
Recently I found a working copy of Earthbound at a Flea Market for $3.
Beat Contra arcade online with a buddy.
So I've been meaning to catalog the haul I made the weekend before last since... Well, since the weekend before last. Obviously I'm not getting around to it. Here's what I picked up:
Two Genesis systems each with two controllers and cables,
one Game Gear,
a bunch of Genesis games (the only good ones being Sonic the Hedgehog, NBA Jam, and possibly something which mentions explosions and biker babes on the back, haven't played it yet),
and a Power Joy with two multicarts and the second controller.
The SEGA systems had to be cleaned and the Power Joy's bizarre cable thing (is that seriously an AV cable with half a power cord attached to it?) actually fell out of the connecting plastic piece when I brought it home, but I'm still happy since I got it all for fourteen bucks. The cable can be easily re-soldered (in fact it was clearly re-soldered before; guess it didn't take). The multicarts won't work in my Twin Fami or my Super Joy III though.
Haven't tested the systems yet as I'm lazy, but I did spend a day last week cleaning a bunch of my expanding vintage game collection. Holy crap, let me tell you about one of them. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for the Game Boy. Bizarrely, I've had it for at least a decade, although I got it used. It's always worked perfectly, including when I booted it up a few months ago. I took some pictures after I opened it:
(http://img526.imageshack.us/img526/5915/20100607dirtytmnt2.jpg)
(http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/1305/20100607dirtytmnt.jpg)
Keep in mind this was after I cleaned the pins, before I realized how dirty it was and opened it. This thing was so nasty that even the screw needed cleaning; I had to clean my screwdriver bit after removing it.
Here's what my cleaning rag looked like at the end of the day:
(http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/5483/20100607cleaningrag.jpg)
The really impressive stains on the lower left were from a couple NES games that were more than a bit nasty (one was Shatterhand, the other I can't recall), but the goo (no clue what it is. Ancient soda?) didn't make it onto the board so it wasn't as impressive. Plus, that's a Game Boy game, you can't expect it to have as much gunk as an NES game.
I hope to get a bit to open my Genesis games soon and see what they have in store for me. I haven't delved into my Atari games since I don't like messing with the labels. At least they have normal Philips head screws.
EDIT: I think the second NES game was Xexyz, which was actually the very first game I got when I decided to start collecting older games.
KLAX (NES CIB very Good)
I got Kirby: Nightmare in dreamland (GBA) today! :D
Doboutso no Mori (N64 excellent condition CIB like NES) :)
^ Nice! I've always wanted to track down a CIB copy of that. How much do they usually go for CIB?
After my flea market haul yesterday I decided to get together my acquisitions of the last three weeks or so and take a group photo:
(http://img526.imageshack.us/img526/6350/20100621loot.jpg)
I have the cords for the Genesis systems too, I just didn't have room for them on the table. No AV cables, just RF, unfortunately.
Here's a closer look at the Genesis games. Lots of crappy sports games that came with the systems, there are more in the previous picture above the Super Joy. But I got the two Genesis systems with controllers and cords, the Game Gear, and every Genesis game on the table except for Sonic Spinball and Flashback all for $10. Wasn't gonna pass that up because the sports games were worthless.
(http://img203.imageshack.us/img203/6449/20100621recentgengames.jpg)
I was also given some video game stuff that a deceased friend used to own, but I didn't feel right taking pictures of it to post online. I have fond memories of playing the games with her when we were kids, so needless to say I'll be treasuring them. The batteries in her Game Boy hadn't been changed since she died.
Wow nice! 2 Genesis model twos! I can't find one of those anywhere around here.
AMAZING STUFF MAN!! CONGRATS!
Ikaruga (Gamecube CIB excellent extremely rare 19.99
Pokemon heart Gold was new until I opened it to play.
The world Ends with You (CIB Excellent, extremely rare for only 19.99
Here's what pissed me off enough to write about it at TellGamestop.com.
I bought a new copy of Wario Ware D.I.Y. but it was already opened, and to make things worse, it was not in perfect new shape. I was also missing the Club Nintendo registery sheet that should (at least to the best of my knowledge) have came with it. No more gamestop. From now on, it's Play N Trade all the way. I feel bad for whoever reads that survey!
Did you take back the Wario Ware game and ask for a replacement, refund, or discount?

Really? They're common as dirt here in Ohio. If they work I'd be willing to sell you one cheap if you want, I definitely don't need three of the things. Still need to test them though.

Nobody should ever buy from Gamestop under any circumstances. They're the scummiest dealers of video games in the country, including the creepy obese guy with the van of stolen PS3s that parks next to the tobacco store. Buy from local independent stores, charity-oriented thrift stores, and flea markets if you can. If not buy online. If you can't do that either, try the big chains like Best Buy, Toys 'R Us, etc. But never give those pukes at Gamestop your money. They'll just jack up the prices on their used games, pull more you-should-have-pre-ordered-the-game bullshit (99% of the time at Best Buy has games release day, and Amazon often offers release day arrival on big releases), and reseal their used games and sell 'em as new (as you unfortunately discovered).
I've never been to Play N Trade, Gamestop has poisoned me against chain video game stores so it never occurred to me to check them out. The younger folk here probably don't remember, but there used to be this really cool chain called Funcoland that had great stuff and decent prices, but Gamestop bought them a while before they bought Electronics Boutique and now Funcoland is crap.
Seriously people: don't shop there. If you love video games, it is your duty to hate Gamestop.

I'm never going to another GameStop again. Maybe that survey will help other customers out. I am hover, going bac k today to get my Club Nintendo card that was supposed to go with WarioWare D.I.Y.
The only place I fully support is Play N Trade for one reason, and one reason only: The sell old games. Selling games at those low prices will keep me going too. I bought a CIB Pokemon Box for just $50!
I loved FuncoLand until they turned into that spineless GameStop.
Congrats on Ikaruga. Badass shmup.
I finally found my most wanted game! (If you remember, I made a thread a long time ago requesting it)
http://nintendoage.com/index.cfm?FuseAction=NES.View&egID=2919&lgID=1263
I haven't got it yet, but I paid for it, so it's mine! ;D
I just got a great deal from Craigslist:
(http://img25.imageshack.us/img25/4797/20100622crgslstn64loot.jpg)
DK64, the mic hookup, and the expansion pack weren't mentioned in the ad; but I still drove quite a way to pick it up because it was so cheap. I'm pretty happy, not gonna lie. I've got a couple AV cables I can use - thank you Nintendo for using the same cord for a decade! The guy even offered a cheaper price after discovering the cable was missing, but I couldn't take further advantage and gave him the original price. Now I just need to test it, clean it, and see if I can fix the loose sticks on the controllers.
I'm still kind of in shock over this. That's five of my favorite games for the N64, plus Yoshi's Story and Mario Party which are good in their own right, several other games that I may keep or sell depending on my whims, all for 20 dollars. Sorry if I seem overly excited, this is just my first really great deal is all.
Wow! Another great deal! People totally overcharge for N64 games. >:( I contacted a guy from my craigslist, I wanted Starfox 64, and Pokemon Stadium 2, and he wanted 30 dollars
Hopefully in a few years the prices will get more reasonable. Until then I'll have to keep an eye out for more great deals on N64 games, since I'm still missing a bunch that I want. Do Japanese games only play on a Japanese N64? I'd like to get my hands on some of those games (Sin & Punishment, mmmmm...), but if I need an import system that'll make things a bit harder.
I think it's the same situation as the SNES/Super Famicom. My friend has some japanese N64 games and he uses a converter to play them. But the cartridges themselves do have a form of lockout on them. Sin and Punishment is great game, but very expensive. Its like, 40 dollars! :o
Sega Saturn with controllers all cables and 1 game only $27.00
Hoooooly crap were those games dirty. Not a single one of them would play before I cleaned them, and it took me a good three hours of cleaning before I got them all working (Hey You Pikachu is still a little flaky, but I don't have the actual microphone anyway, just the part that hooks to the system). I've never bought a group of games that large where none would work without cleaning before. Maybe that's why I got it so cheap...

I think it's the same situation as the SNES/Super Famicom. My friend has some japanese N64 games and he uses a converter to play them. But the cartridges themselves do have a form of lockout on them. Sin and Punishment is great game, but very expensive. Its like, 40 dollars! :o
Buy a Gameshark Pro 3.3. you will still need the key-codes, but you can find them with a quick search. That's how I got Animal Crossing working.
Pretty sure I used to have one. Wonder what happened to it? Oh well, thanks for the tip. Is there an easy way to tell that particular version from the others?
awesome pick up sir! Can't go wrong for 20 dollahs!

Yes, there's a few, but the easiest way to tell is by looking at the back. There should be a sticker telling you the number.
Haven't had much time (and money) to look around for games and stuff lately, so when my mates and I had to buy some chips and LEDs for a school assignment we took it as an excuse to visit some nearby thrift stores and street markets in search of cheap electronic tat and old video games. Not the best findings in the world but not bad either!
Power Joy Famiclone with PJ-008 - $5
(http://img689.imageshack.us/img689/935/dscn0789xw.jpg)
I didn't have a Power Joy until now, I'm always stumbling across them and I tend to avoid them like the plague mostly because of their ultra shoddy construction, but this one actually looks decent, I mean for Famiclone standards. For one, the AV lead is actually quite thick and sturdy (gasp!), but what sealed the deal for me was the PJ-008 cartridge that it had plugged in. I was mostly getting it for the cartridge and later I found out that the Power Joy that it came with isn't as bad as I thought.
The system itself is quite a bit sturdier than most Famiclones, and surprisingly the video quality is great. No oversaturated colors and no vertical lines on the video output. I'd say that its video output is near toaster NES quality. Classic incorrect Famiclone audio, the built in light gun works fine and it comes with 10 built in games, which are actually heavily edited versions of games like Duck Hunt, Hogan's Alley, Tengen Tetris, Battle City and some others. Also pushing Select will position the cursor on a non existent menu entry, trying to access it results in a system crash. Oh, China. ::)
As for the PJ-008, this is my second copy and it turns out that they're not the exact same. A few games are different between them, as if they were two versions of the PJ-008 cartridge. I might elaborate on this later, especially if someone around here shows some interest. :)
Juice Box ROM based video player - $6 each
(http://img294.imageshack.us/img294/9885/dscn0790p.jpg)
Personally I didn't know about these before. My friend whipped out his Blackberry and Googled it on the spot. It plays videos stored on tiny ROM cartridges on a backlit color LCD screen. It seems to have some great hacking potential so my friend bought one and I bought the other. Will mess with these later, after doing some research.
Cotton Candy Machine - $2
(http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/2715/dscn0791v.jpg)
For two measly dollars I couldn't let this one pass up. Hmm... sugar (http://img594.imageshack.us/img594/9382/home2c.gif).
Electric coffee warmers - $1 each
(http://img404.imageshack.us/img404/4602/dscn0792n.jpg)
Found these on the street, got one for myself and one for my mom. The heating elements look OK but the mains leads are nasty. Badly injection molded plugs and frighteningly thin wires that reek of toluene. Wonder why one of the cords is broken? They're so thin and fragile that I cut the cable using my bare hands.
These things are rated at 500W, at 220V that's about two amps going through a cable thinner than the cords on really cheap Christmas lights, guaranteed fire hazard or your money back! So I'm definitely not plugging them in until I can replace the mains cords on them with real wires.
Nice Power Joy (well, relatively)! I didn't find that cartridge with mine; I got a couple of Supermax carts. They aren't working on my Famicom or my Super Joy III, hopefully they'll work on the Power Joy. Mine apparently had its AV/power line broken at some point and someone soldered them back together, but it didn't take. I still haven't got around to re-soldering it. What kind of AC adapter does yours take?
Quote from: tankexmortis on June 30, 2010, 07:34:48 pmWhat kind of AC adapter does yours take?
Exact same as the original Famicom. :)
Awesome! Lucky that your PJ came with the PJ-008 game, I found one but it did not include the game. :(
i got a PJ and PJ-008 boxed on ebay for 10$
Got this in the mail today.

I see some good stuff in there! The SFC looks very nice, and a few games that stood out to me were the Crayon Shin Chan SFC game and the Kirby SFC game, and Yoshi's Cookie for the Famicom
Wow neat stuff drooling all over the boxed super fami!

One is from Hawaii and the other is coming from oregon. Anyone have any idea how long they will take to get delivered to western Canada? I have not used ebay before.

I go to this store pick up the copy they have look at the back and... My name is on it!?! and my initials were carved in it still from my dad. She just gave it to me because it was really mine! it was so weird though because i live in PA now. how did it travel that far?

Got Donkey Kong Country 1. Classic SNES title.
that sucks. It's pretty much just similar to zelda dungeons. You shoot arrows at enemies and collect treasure in a top-down perspective.
Picked up a pj001 cart and one of those power joys that have the gun built in.
They were sold at the goodwill. ;D
boxed (damn near perfect condition) mick and mack as the global gladiators for the genesis for 2.99
An old legendary Z80 computer Micro-Profesor (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microprofessor_I) from 1982 in excelent condition for 0,33eur !!!
Whoa! A computer inside a book. That's pretty damn cool.
trade my venture copy for anouther copy, pokemon red CIB, and a pointmaster joystick for A2600
Got an Atari 800XL in box with a few games. It has a F*cking huge AC adapter! By the way FamicomFreak, there's a guy in Pompano Beach with an unbelievably large collection that he's selling. http://miami.craigslist.org/brw/vgm/1828906825.html (http://miami.craigslist.org/brw/vgm/1828906825.html) He's also got an ungodly amount of games and Demo kiosks if you're interested.
^That is a sick lot of stuff. Anyone feel like picking up one of those NES TV's for me and shipping it to Wisconsin? :D
So my find today isn't nearly so spectacular. My gaming tv crapped out recently (big old green splotch in the screen like a speaker was placed next to it... except I DON"T OWN ANY SPEAKERS!). Went on CL looking for a cheap replacement and found a very nice 19" Emerson TV from 1986 for $15. Works fantastic!!
Already taken :'( I was picking up my 800xl while another guy took the NES tv's. The guy told me that he got the stuff from a video game convention he held. Anyone know of this? His name i think is jason.
Got a working oldschool iMac for $10, system only. Not bad!
(http://img293.imageshack.us/img293/1992/dscn1103.jpg)
I've got a spare Apple keyboard that suits it well. Came with 256MB of RAM and the original 6 GB HDD with Mac OS 9.2 installed.
The original CD drive was toast but I managed to install a spare laptop DVD drive in there in order to boot from CD and disable the password. Then I replaced the hard drive with a 20 GB one and installed Mac OS X 10.2, works great especially for those old Mac-only games like Marathon. :)
Wow, cool. I used to have one of those computers a long time ago.
Lastnight I ordered these off amazon:
Mega Man (Game Boy)
Soul Calibur III (PS2, sealed)
Street Fighter Alpha 2 (Sega Saturn, sealed)
;D
Tomorrow I get to go to Play N Trade with 200 dollars, hope I find lots of good games.
Totally awesome 133mhz you always amaze me with your finds and procedures to fix them up to a higher potential. Good work indeed.
I know a guy who turned on of those into a fish tank. :P
Indeed, these machines seem to be great for all kinds of modding. If I had the time and money, I'd remove the original iMac motherboard and stuff a Zotac ION board inside it, those teeny tiny Atom boards are quite speedy for things like Youtube and they can run Mac OS X too! I like the idea of having a modern computer for casual use inside a compact iMac case. ;D
Anyway, I also found a non working, really dirty SNES for like 3 dollars. It had a blown fuse and a broken power input jack, so I hacked a standard 2.1 mm barrel connector in there (same as the Famicom). Kinda sloppy cutting job but it works for me:

Maybe this should go on the Redneck Repairs thread? I think it's a bit too 'advanced' for the average redneck. :P
Here's what I got today:

Castlevania: dracula X crohnicles for PSP
There was a clear out at work. Hundreds of games up for grabs, most were clones in different languages of games I already have. But I found these:
(http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii47/L___E___T/Mobile%20Uploads/1-1.jpg)
Best part? Brand new! A little dog-eared, but I didn't expect to find 2 new SFC games and a new GB game of all things... There were also a few golden oldies - Spectrum, Atari, CPC and Amiga games strewn about. Again all new, sat in cardboard storage boxes for decades! :S
I don't know what the DS game is but it had screenshots of some retro looking game on the back in addition to the main game (survival horror I think). Anyone recognise it or can read the name?
I also picked up some new GBC games, but they're not cool enough to show - I just know they'll get thrown out else.
So it's true that every game company has a magical warehouse that's just full of old valuable stuff that they just give away to their employees every once in awhile? They told me it was just a rumor but I always had faith! :D
That's kinda true. Usually it gets thrown out. Sacrilege!
[UPDATE] A colleague actually recognised the DS game this morning! Titled Nanashi no Game, it was something he'd hoped to see a localised version of.
You play a famicom-style game (on arcade cabs oddly enough) in the game which is full of glitches. those glitches then start to play around with real life and lots of nasty things happen.. It sounds.. genius!
Check out the trailer - I now HAVE to play this.
http://www.gametrailers.com/video/japanese-trailer-nanashi-no/34869

There was no localised version :( but there was a sequel in Japan :)
wow. so cool.. *drools* T_T
It looks really WEIRD. That would be cool to have in English! :D

Today, all the way from Japan. My free Super Famicom + games arrived 12 days early (My Birthday is in 12 days). My good friend in Japan, wanted me to have them about a month ago but decided to hold off and make them a birthday gift!
Awesome!
Today I got an XBOX halo special Edition for $15 on craigslist! I gave the guy a 20 because I felt like I was ripping him off. ;D ;D ;D
Found a JVC X'EYE at a flea market for 15 bucks. Works and everything, too. :)
What is it?
If I'm remembering right, the JVC X'eye is a fairly sought after Sega Genesis and CD combo unit (or Mega Drive and Mega CD combo unit for you non-US folk :) ). It's about the size of the Mega Drive system by itself. Not quite as compact as the CDX, but still pretty sweet.
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/1/1e/Xeye.JPG)
Mmh... sweet.
Looks like a fine piece of hardware.
HOLY SHIT DUDE!!! i was on videogamepricecharts.com and turns out that a JVC X'eye is worth about....$900.00
Something is only worth what people will pay. I don't see any recent auctions on eBay for those that ended around $900.
But, it is still a rare and cool console. Very nice find!
Post Merge: August 09, 2010, 11:03:41 am
Today, my friend gave me his Xbox that has RRoD. If I can fix it, I'm going to JTAG it.
Wasn't there a Sega CDZ combo too that was like the size of a genesis model 2?
Speaking of Genesis. I don't have one at the moment but I bought an official model 1 controller to use on my colecovision. Much better! Now I can play my favourites a lot easier ;D
Awesome find indeed...
super noah's ark 3d

Notice the SNS-TN-USA code, which corresponds to the game The Terminator. Here's a gameplay video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RS8fR53Y1-E) of it. I already own a copy of this game, so I got this one for a trade request.
I also found a Donkey Kong Country 3 cart that I didn't notice that it was a pirate long after I paid for it and left. Shame on me for impulse buying and not doing a meticulous check.

Fortunately I didn't pay much for it and hey, it's still DKC3 right? But I can't get it to work for dear life, Nintendo keeps telling me that I'm going to hell for being a filthy pirate: ::)
(http://img841.imageshack.us/img841/3949/dkc3copyprotection.jpg)
Tried replacing the battery and scrubbing the contacts to no avail. It got me really curious, could it be that it needs a particular setup to work properly, or is it just defective? All of my other SNES pirates run flawlessly, so who knows.
If it wont work in original SNES, I am sure it will in SNES Jr since it contains no lock-out. ;D

yes we have few here... lucky for me. hehe.
hmm.. maybe it was already been donated or shipped to some parts of the world including our country >_<.
I wish there were yardsales or even fleamarkets around here, but nothing. :-\
I just got one of those gun power joys. I couldn't get it to work, but after some taping,
I finally got it to work. It has all these absurd hacks of nintendo games. Theres a duck hunt, where the dog's a boy,
which can disappear at will, and the ducks are helicopters. I might take some pictures later.
There's also a hack of tetris, which at first glance seems lame, but then come the new blocks.
They hacked all these cool blocks in there, and It's way more fun to play.
i also got hacked games... the one i just recently bought.
rockman 3 = 30 x 1Ups :o
double dragon 3 = 30 lives
ninja turtles 3 = 30 rests :o
How do you get 30 lives on Double Dragon 3? ???
Either way, that seems like the best deal of the three as far as advantage goes.
i don't know sir..
the life bar's too long. wait. i'll post screenies later..
maybe not thirty.. but its beyond normal.
Dont know if this is worth mentioning, but i found a madden 10 demo disc on a head and shoulders bottle...
Yeah, they were selling those awhile back I think. Some kid won that shampoo with the disc at a DDR tournament I was at recently. Kind of a shitty prize. :P
lol you got first place here is your bottle of shampoo now get out
That's pretty much how it went. The kid who won that didn't place though, but he was really gross-looking. So maybe they just felt sorry for him. :P
Thats pretty sad. He had to enter a contest to get one, and i just took it off the bottle!
Well the prizes weren't announced. It was more of a for-fun kind of thing, but first place ended up being pretty sweet. A $35 gift certificate to any of the vendors who were at this convention, and a discount on next year's admit price.

Hopefully my luck with getting SNES pirates starts to bloom :D
Nice finds. :D I wish I had a SNES pirate. A multicart would be neat!
Also, I don't recognize that Aladdin cartridge. Is that Magic Carpet 1001, Super Game's Aladdin, or Hummer Team?
EDIT: Just noticed the JY mark. That's Hummer Team, right?
I guess. MasterDisk's the expert :P I think Hummer team were the programmers, and JY was the publisher? Something like that. But it's the Hummer Team one.
I never really paid attention to the fact there's a Super Game version. Never played it.
Indeed. I'm almost positive you have the Hummer Team version, which happens to be the best one! ;D

Just won an auction for a CIB Master System with 27 CIB games, everything in excellent condition.
Price was a bit more expensive than expected, because a second bidder came in, but I think I made a relatively good deal.
If it is a Master system model 1 then congratulations! It's a beautifull console, really old-school looking, sharp edges and stuff :) I bought mine a couple years ago on a holiday in Germany, for 10 €, but it was a loose console only, no wires or controllers...
Picked up doom 3 collectors edition fort $17 while on my doom obsession
I love the Doom series, petik1; always a fine choice. And the differences in each game makes them unique.

Oh, good then!
I already have a European Master System II and a Japanese Mark III, so that's a nice new addition to my collection.

Or so I thought!
The a**hole deleted my bid because "3 or 4 carts aren't working". Hah! I even told him I wouldn't mind if some aren't working. But no response at all. I think the price was way under his expectations. I wonder if I have a way to complain to yahoo about this... s*cker.
Ah... that's lame.
I was suspecting something fishy about the cartridges - those are pretty rare!
I also figured that some of the carts were quite rare and/or valuable, so basically I really wouldn't have cared if some didn't work, because everything was in so good condition.

Excellent finds. 8) Aladdin is such a fun title!
thats awesome btw did you use the mod where you put the switch in the back of a model 1 genny?
I could have, but since i have my super battlestation (genesis+32x+sega cd), i didn't find a point. I got real lazy and taped some solder on the pads!
if i have a game genie do i need to do the mod or not
Depends on the game. Post 1992 games youll need the mod.
To keep the thread on track: got doom 64 and an nes max controller whille feeding famicomfreak information about my local play n trade ::)

It's a fun game, but it's insanely glitchy. You can hit start and move the players around, and the game freezes at the beginning and title screen so you have to hit start immediately after it boots.
Also it's impossible to finish any level.

WOW famiac are you a Sonic collector? Because that is one of the holy grails, and it also looks legitimate, hopefully you won't find that it's a fake or something. But according to that auction info, I think this would not be a problem, I have heard about Nicola before. Nice catch! A bit expensive, but hey, it's a PROTOTYPE! Congratulations!
I was going to make me a repro of it sometimes in the future, but I don't have the programmer for 16 bit eproms (and don't have time to make it out of two 8-bit)
Awesome with the Sonic game and quite interesting even if it's not that playable!

Yeah I played it like mad today! MAD I SAY! It's a great game overall and very similar to the Famicom/NES version. WUUT! I guess I can settle for this one for the time being.
Aladdin (for SNES and Mega Drive)
went to gamestop and picked up some sealed Nintendo DS RPGs :)
(http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff280/luiszena/ValkyrieProfileRhapsodyNintendoDS.jpg)
Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX - for $4.50 at Game X Change, works perfectly... I wanted it over the black and white original "Link's Awakening". Once "A Link to the Past: Four Swords" comes in from FamicomFreak I will have the first 6 games.
Legend of Zelda: Collectors Edition (GameCube) - Legend of Zelda: 1, 2, Ocarina of Time (5) and Majora's Mask (6)
Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (3) and Four Swords (9) (Gameboy Advance)
Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX (4) (Gameboy Color)
Notice a theme???
All of the games are re-releases, because I am cool like that and it also means that the first 6 games were really well liked!
I may buy Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons (7) and Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages ( 8 ) because they will also play on my Gamecube, and it will make the collection seem better since I ended up with Zelda 9.
But I will stop there because I absolutely hate Wind Waker.

Tell us what's on those Digimon pirates when you get a chance. I'm curious.
I just my two unopened copies of Nekketsu Beach Volleyball (Super Game Boy) (assuming they weren't since I don't know if Japanese Game Boy games were factory sealed in the way US games are). Now I have two unopened and one opened but very good condition for play copy.

One of them is an RPG and actually not bad at all while the other one is a side scroller. You can check out videos on youtube to show how they play.

Ah, so they're not Pokemon ROM hacks. Even if I never liked Digimon, it'd still be cool to play an old Pokemon game with new stuff in it.
nope original to the bone well as far as a pirate can get original because they tend to use graphics from SNES RPGs like terranigma for the scenery....
Found all this at my doorstep today.

Oh wow! I have that exact same TMNT handheld game somewhere in storage. Spent so much time playing that some 15-20 years ago :D
I think I also had a TMNT II game that looked similar.
Sweet glad it's familiar to some :)
It's incredibly rare. I have heard that it is the exact game as the retail version.
Awesome! That's good to know.
Aladdin Tiger Handheld! I used to have one when I was like 8, and I loved the thing so much; so glad to have found another. ($1)
Nice deal on that DS! Even now I look on eBay and DS phats are still going for $60 at the least!

Blue N64 is awesome... always wanted one. Donkey Kong country is always good too lol. But what the hell is that pokemon game lol? Coin games, what will they think of next? lol.
That coin game reminds me of Pokémon Battrio (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pokemon_Battrio). Maybe a simplified version of that is what they were going for.
Yeah for Pokemon they released pretty much anything. I got those for a friend of mine, she collects Pokemon coins and I'm pretty sure she doesn't have these. I usually go nuts on December on buying gaming stuff har har har har....I still have some more stuff to come in the next week. ;D

I love the Lufia series I'm waiting for the price of the DS one to go down though. How is the game? Have you tried it yet?
No, I haven't played it yet. It's at the bottom of my "to play" list, just after Kirby's Epic Yarn, Donkey Kong Country Returns, Twilight Princess, 3D Dot Game Heroes, Lego Star Wars and a few others. Man, I buy too much games... and have not enough time... :P

Depends on the demo. Some games start you off at set places in game, while others let you play with less options and a time limit.
any donkey Kong Racing demos by any chance?
Found some socks with space invaders pictures on them and some matching boxer shorts ;D (http://cdn8.droidmill.com/media/market-media/com.taito.SpaceInvaders_icon.png)

Donkey Kong Racing was canceled for the Gamecube, and no.
I realise that, I heard a demo was released though.

I also got this accessory for the PS1 called Super GB Booster...now I need a PS1 with the port on the back to try it out.
(http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff280/luiszena/SuperGBBooster.jpg)
Whoa! That's like an unlicensed Super Game Boy for the PS1? That's so cool! :D
Yes! I need a damn ps1 with the port now but I'm very busy this week to look for that so I'll leave it for next week.

Except that it is ran by pure emulation, and so there are glitches and no in-game music. I have this same thing for the N64 and it sucks ass.
oh lol! Hmmm should be interesting nonetheless in pure suckiness !

I have been wanting this game for a long long time and just my luck there was an auction for a complete copy I was able to win for 32 shipped.

This is from Christmas, Dragon Quest IX is finally mine!
So that's all for now! I think I have gotten my game fix for this year...I really have more than enough games to keep me busy for the coming months...
you must be joking with the 3do game, tell me you're joking! :P
how are the two RPG above dragon quest?
LOL well not joking about the price but yeah joking about it being a great game. It's one of those games it's so bad it's good! lol! The RPGs by Atlus you are talking about deliver with success! Awesome masterpieces! I can always count on Atlus with great games!
You'd have to pay me 50 bucks at least to own that game.
LOL!!!
picked up that atgames genesis wii clone. God help me.
Bought a copy of LoZ: LttP FS for GBA as my other copy stopped working... Must have been the lousy condition it was in. Oh well, the new copy cost me $6 at GameStop.

Hey everyone, finally registered here. I've been lurking around this site for a while now and thought I'd post my finds today.
Just bought a small lot of Super Famicom and Japanese gameboy games. Everything came with original packaging and instructions, except the multi-cart which had a box only, no instructions.
Super Famicom:
The Combatribes
Last Fighter Twin
Gameboy
Ninja Gaiden
Some 8 in 1 cart
Saint Seiya Paradise (apparently this is quite rare and valuable, still trying to find more info)
Looks like Saint Seiya made the purchase worth while.
I am posting this here, because I know that a lot of you collect multi-carts, so if anyone is interested in the gameboy one, just let me know. This cart has 8 games on it, which appear to be Rockman 2, Robocop 2, Mickey Mouse, Batman, Soccer featuring Kunio Kun, Spiderman, some game develped by Irem, can't make it out and a Konami game which I also can't make out. The cart comes packaged in a purple box.

sol feace and doom 64
Haven't been hunting much but here are a couple of things I found today.
(http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff280/luiszena/MarioPikachuandPlaygoFigures.jpg)
I got these four for a buck. I only wanted the Pikachu and Mario but those other ones looked pretty kewl too.
(http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff280/luiszena/NintendoWiiClassicController.jpg)
I also picked this Nintendo Wii classic controller for five bucks.
(http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff280/luiszena/SaturdayNightSlamMastersSNES.jpg)
Finally, I got this game I used to play a lot when I was younger. Glad to have it back!
More findings over the week for sure!

Just got my copy of Pier Solar, it only took a few years. ;D The packaging is really cool and professional, haven't had a chance to play the game yet though.

Wow lucky you! Congrats on such an unique acquisition.
is that a cartridge + CD game??
The game is on the cart, but if you put the cd into a Sega CD while playing the game it plays full pre-recorded music instead of the 16 bit sounds.

Comment:
It could've been bigger if I didn't sold half my stuff before.
After I go hunting, I drag my loot back to my place, give it a wipe down, and photograph it before putting it with all the rest.
I take these photos for an archive reference, but also so I can show my friends back home my collection as I acquire it.
Here's my catch from last week:
(http://img690.imageshack.us/img690/3631/cimg3094c.jpg)
* I don't collect GBA games, but WarioWare Twisted was only 300yen.. I really couldn't refuse.. I love that game!
edit: For a closer look, right click and open image in new tab
So don't be shy now.. Let's see what latest retro matter you've gathered!
There are already three finds threads. I've merged this thread with Finds (All Others) in the "Other Gaming" sub-forum. Don't be afraid to post pictures and/or descriptions of the stuff you got in that thread though. There's nothing against that! :)
Lots of games to love right there sir. Congrats!
Yeah I had thought there was a thread like this but didn't see it after a bit of searching.
Thanks for the redirect :)
I just love looking at retro loot.
Only a few people post awesome pics like you, though. :D Keep them coming!
Alright, these are some older finds over the last month:

I don't have much time left here in Japan, so I've been going retro game shopping every weekend or two.
... So many games, so little time!
Get as many as possible, as your budget allow because outside Japan they aren't cheap as in Japan.
If I were to visit Japan, it'd be to shop for Famicom games, old consoles and whatnot.

So happy with the purchase. ;D
I don't think I'll be messing with these toys, instead buy the ATGames/Blaze SMD console.

Nice stuff.
The Mega Drive / Genesis was a really good looking piece of hardware.
Sealed Gamecube Interactive Version 20. Sealed, which wasn't expecting it to be and I'm not opening it, I'll just have to settle for another copy. Another thing to note: I HATE when the disks become loose during shipping!!! >:(

Really? I got both PAL and NTSC (SMD and Genesis) versions and they both run the same (slow) on my PAL system.
Super Puyo Puyo 2 (SHVC-AXPJ-JPN)
Sandro no Daibouken - Valkyrie Tono Deai (SHVC-SH)
Fire Emblem 4 (SHVC-A32J-JPN)
Battle Master (SHVC-5B)

I purchased all these games from a friend in Japan for $18 shipped!
I already had
Final Fight (SHVC-FT)
Front Mission (SHVC-AGCJ-JPN)
Starfox (SHVC-FO)
Super Mario RPG (SHVC-ARWJ-JPN)

It's kinda hard to see it's slow when we get used to it that way (habits).
Check it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=drVW-Z4nxE4&feature=related
By the way, is SMD free region? I've been playing Genesis (NTSC) games on my PAL SMD.
PAL megadrive (50Hz) can't play Sonic1 in fast (60Hz) speed even when you plug the NTSC version in. So I thought that the ROM (game) in both NTSC and PAL cartridges were the same. But from what you're saying, they are not the same, because the NTSC genesis (60Hz) plays PAL Sonic (50Hz) in slow (50Hz) mode.
The SMD is not region free, but not all games are protected. For example, Sonic can be played worldwide without problems :) just the speed would be different.
My PAL SMD is region (NTSC/PAL) and language (US[EU]/JP) modded so I can play anything and am able to see the region-lockout screens on some cartridges (like Alien Soldier). But the behavior of the NTSC sonic cartridge is different, when I switch the console to NTSC (60Hz) and plug the PAL Sonic (50Hz) inside, the game still plays fast (60Hz).
Here are my last two outings.. I've been spending more than usual, but there's no choice. I won't be here for much longer.

Actually about 20 of the games in the bottom pic I got in a 3 for 1000yen sale for anything under 800yen. Which is really great!
Very nice! How long and what reason did you stay in Japan for?
I came at the beginning of last July and have been teaching English at a private company.
I'm just not that into it though, or maybe it's not for me. It's a little stressful for me. Sort of looking forward to going back home and relaxing with my acquired game collection. :cherry:
Are you kidding?
I totally LOVE teaching English, but I can't get a fixed position (yet...), because I'm no native speaker. :-\ Sometimes I teach as a replacement teacher, though. The world's not fair. :D
Well, enjoy your last weeks in Japan and get all the stuff you want as long as you have the chance! :gamer:
Is it teaching in general or just teaching English? I'm seriously considering teaching English abroad.
It's teaching English. It's not at a public school, I think that would have been a better choice for me.
The pay is great, but some of the people I work with are ... well they've kind of ruined the job for me. They're such unpleasant, rude, and unkind people. Of course all of Japan teaching jobs can't be like this, but it's been a bad experience.
I'll come back to Japan in the future but not in a job like this.
I would recommend you find something just for the more pleasant experience of seeing Japan, and you probably won't find yourself in a position like myself.
I hear being an ALT in a public school is the nicer job.
Being an ALT in a public school is probably a dream job.
The "real" teacher does all the work and the ALT only has to talk and say some sentences for illustration.
Quoteunpleasant, rude, and unkind people
Were those Japanese or other foreigners?
I spent 5 years as an Eikaiwa teacher back in the day. Its no picnic at first, but after the first few months I found it became quite easy. All in all it was a good experience for me....well, it must have been for me to spend that long doing it ;D
Mind you, these days the market is way different and my impression is that the work conditions have suffered a lot. So I'm probably viewing it through rose tinted lenses.
Anyway, nice finds tappybot. That is an impressive haul. I notice you picked up "Gorby no Pipeline" in there!

LOL, your dream job is to sit in a classroom all day and say next to nothing?
Sounds like hell to me! :blinky: :)
Those unpleasant people are actually Japanese women. There are two in particular who are such mean people. It's like they have their period every single day. Not just that, they've tried to humiliate me in the monthly meetings. The company boss apologized to me, but it's still difficult to put up with.
I'm sick of talking and thinking about it. Looking forward to finishing the job.
Yeah, I picked up Gorby's Pipeline after you guys talking about it being rather rare (and I hadn't seen it anywhere else). It was 800yen, but I'd rather pay a bit more than never find it again. One of you said you got it at Mandarake for cheap, which is amazing, because Mandarake usually charges 6 or 800 for anything remotely rare (in my area anyway).
edit: Oh yeah, I also picked up that 3 Eyes boy game after I saw it mentioned here on the site. I almost didn't get it, but decided I should pick it up while I have it in my reach.
Yeah, I was the one who got Gorby no Pipeline cheap (210 yen) at Mandarake. That was definitely underpriced though, it is a hard one to find. And its definitely a "must have" game for the discerning Famicom collector!
My latest "find" is one of the very first light gun games ever produced by Nintendo (way back in 1970). I already posted it elsewhere but I like this thing so much I'm putting it here too ;D:
http://famicomblog.blogspot.com/2011/02/mega-insane-bargain-of-day-kousenjuusp.html

I'd like that job. It's only a few hours a day, but the pay is quite good from what I hear. Easy money. :)
After checking the mail today, I found a package and guess what it contained... :yoshi:
Spoiler
My Nintendo GameCube Service Disc Version 1.0/03, but I need an older model Gamecube to actually use it.
Spent way more than I wanted too today, but I had a spontaneous need for hardware.
(http://img708.imageshack.us/img708/6610/cimg3136.jpg)
Well, wow, you'll be leaving with a sweet collection of JPN games.
Is that table-thingy Famiclone any good?
I always see it in one shop, but can't make my mind up if I really want it...
The Tabletop Famiclone seems competent enough. If you power it on without a cartridge it has a tetris game that can be played alone, against a computer, or with another player.
I only tried one game with it real quick, but it functioned as hoped. The controllers are kind of small so not quite the comfort of a typical Famicom/nes pad, but not terrible either. The Dpad felt alright.
I might have to try it again later with a different game. Onyanko Town isn't as responsive as something like Mario.
This one didn't come with an AC adapter, but accepts the Famicom adapter and can also take batteries.
I'd like to try out the TV Game 6 but I need an RF adapter or something. Unless the single output wire can be plugged into an a/v video port instead of the funky UHF/VHF box. Nice and clean, you'd never think it's going on 40 years old. The battery compartment is kind of corroded though... Surprised anyone would even use batteries.
Pleasantly surprised when I noticed my New Famicom retains the accessory port. Looks like I won't need to buy an older one in order to try out these 3D glasses. Does the US top loader have the accessory port too? Crap, and I was holding out on Arkanoid 2 with special controllers because I thought my system wouldn't play it.
Thanks for the info! :diskkun:
That is definitely a nice haul, Tappybot! I'll be sad when you leave Japan and won't have any more of these shopping tales to share (I love seeing stuff like this)!
The TV game 6 looks really cool, I like the box. I'm curious about how the 3D system works too, I've never seen one before.
Incredible stuff! Gotta love imports!

You don't specifically need a pre-Famicom RF switch from Nintendo for this to work. If you have any "manual" RF switches (ex: Atari 2600 RF switch), those will work too.

I had one of those myself, but the controller is quite bad and it doesn't work with many games. It is also made out of very cheap plastic.
Other than that, it is okay.
Philips CD-I for 20
That's an awesome price for a CD-I. Did you get any games and/or the controller with it?
Sweet! Now you can play some of the greatest games in the universe with the power of the Phill- :crazy:
I can't say that with a straight face. ;D
no i didnt get any controllers or games with it :upsetroll:

Went to the pawn shop and picked up some Atari 2600 for $0.99 each.
-Video Pinball
-Yars' Revenge
-Pac Man (It's suppose to be a really shitty version of the game, but this is my first time playing and I really really like it.)
-Phoenix
-Haunted House
also pre-ordered the 3DS. Could be good.
Awesome! Nothing better than retro games for 99cents a pop!
Haunted House is a classic, I dont particularly like Atari 2600 but I admit a few games were pretty fun.
Yeah, I don't particularly care for the system ether. I just collect it.. to collect! :gamer:

Until recently, I thought those two oldman games were either Mahjong or something not particularly fun.. so when I learned otherwise I had to rush out and nab'em. I should had known there was fun in there, look at his grin ;D

Didn't look before leaping into Garfield.. That's a horrid game, right there, and it wasn't really a bargain either.

what are the two family computer items are they just boxed famicoms?
I just ordered a SNES PowerPak on a whim.
Good choice. I'm still battling whether I want a SNES powerpak or NES. The snes one has way too many incompatibilities, but the NES doesn't have as many fun titles (in my opinion). Probably will opt for the NES as I enjoy listening to chiptune.
I have a decent sized NES collection so the NES PowerPak doesn't do much for me. On the other hand I only have like 4 SNES games so I figured this was cheaper than buying a bunch of carts haha.

Those are Famicom Joysticks. The game it shows in the console is Xevious, but I'm hoping you can use them to play any game.
Because my local Yamada Denki didn't have Little Big Planet 2, I just ordered the American Collector's Edition. ;D

Good hauls there, Tappybot. Don't be too hard on Garfield, it is insanely frustrating, but the Famicom just wouldn't be truly retro-80s without Garfield.

Thanks, Senseiman.
You're right, I shouldn't be so hard on it. I'm all for Garfield, but.. eeer.. yeah those sprites are pretty bad XD .. His head changes size depending on which sprite is active.. It's.... YYYeeah.
I was hoping it would be something simple like Popeye, or some other one screen arcade style game.
I respect the 1 life challenge though. It means I'm not finished with this game until I beat it.

It's pretty nice, I have one and used to use it all the time.. Problem is it's wireless so you gotta keep changing batteries... I think I stopped using it because of that.

Bonk and Yoshi.. Nice! ... Er.. Yossy XD :yoshi:
Here's what I gathered today:
(http://img840.imageshack.us/img840/7528/cimg3152.jpg)
The Super Gameboy 2 was 10yen! It was stickered for 80yen, but then it was discounted to 10yen at the register.. They're been trying to phase out their retro since the middle of last year I guess.. they're mostly cleaned out.
Tried out Space Shadow earlier (uses the light gun apparently) but I can't get it to respond at all even though press start is an option at the title.. Maybe it doesn't work with the AV Famicom...
Haha nice finds!
I bougt my Super Gameboy ridiculously overpriced for 50 Yen! :crazy:
Oh, GEO or an affiliate, right?
This (where I got the Super Gameboy 2) was actually at the GEO affiliate I've gotten some other things before, and while it wasn't in the same section as the retro stuff (which has now been consolidated to a tiny one wall area, it was discounted to 10yen. I wonder if all their retro stuff is 10 yen now... If that's the case, you might wanna do a look over your GEO's and see if there's anything remotely interesting.
I don't remember where I got it. :crazy:
All the GEOs in my region don't have much retro stuff left unfortunately.
You've got two good game boy games in there too.
That reminds me, if you happen to see game boy games in boxes, I would be interested. If they are cheap.
I'll let you know about the boxed gameboy games for sale when me and my hoard of games make it back home. Might have a couple I'll be willing to sell or trade.
I'm surprised no one asked about the cucumber game on the very bottom, yet. The first few times I saw this in the store I couldn't make sense of it.. I thought, oh, it must be some super rare cucumber recipe game... Not until I actually considered buying it did I notice the cucumber thing is a sticker put over top some other game cartridge,and somewhat recently it seems. The sticker is an advertisement for some cucumber store dated 2009. Then I decided I should pick it up just for the mystery of it... What could it be, this secret, mystery game!?
Well I haven't tried it yet, and I might save it till I meet my American friend back home so we can unveil it together... But my guess is Hydlide Special (white cartridge games usually seem to be crappy. It was 800yen, so it wasn't a good deal or anything... but the mystery of it.. .I had to have it! :question:
Yes, I'm trying to find Japanese boxed game boy games. Not color ones though.
What is the region code for the cucumber game?
Region Code?
It says ' Qucumbers & ハミリコンピュータ' Yes, HAMily spelled out in katakana. Wonder if that's suppose to be a food joke or the person whipping this up didn't know how to spell family in katakana. The advert sticker is completely obscuring the original cartridge sticker beneath so I can't give any clues from that. Ten it also has store times and an email address... cool_as_qucumbers@yahoo.co.jp ... Is that even an expression known to Japanese? I wonder if a foreigner is behind this.
However, the back of the game is typical, but here's one clue that might help.. The text on the back is red, which isn't uncommon, but there are other white cartridges with blue, or black text so this should narrow it down a bit. I can tell you right now it's not Doraemon. If it's not Hydlide, my guess is Final Fantasy... also common and really cheap.
Oh right, it is a custom sticker on top of some other game. Interesting. You should play it.
I just bought an oscilliscope from my school's shop teacher for $5. Dunno if it works yet, but if it does, I'm going to attempt the Tennis for Two project. :D
Someone recently hooked up an original gameboy to an oscilliscope. It looked amazing - it made me want one just for that!!
Really? :o Mind posting a link of that? I'd like to check it out. :star:
Sure thing - but now you have to promsie that you'll follow up on this and build it :)

That looks like a fun project. From what I've read, it sounds like all it requires is a microcontroller, DAC, some components to build the controllers, and an oscilloscope.
Yup. I found a page online that shows all the stuff I need and provides a tutorial to build it. I've never attempted anything like this before, so I'm not sure if I'll be able to follow through with it. If not, I'm sure I'll be able to find someone on here who can!
Cool. I have some experience with programming for microcontrollers (although I see the source code is already provided for this project), so let me know if you need any help.
Sweet, thanks! :) I just tested it out with a power strip (since the prongs are directly connected to the machine), and it works exactly like it's supposed to. It's pretty cool just to mess with, but it'll be even cooler when I can actually play a game on it. :star:

Most of the Famicom games here I got from Amazon.jp.. The quality defined as acceptable surpassed all expectations and all were cheaper w/ shipping than I could find in any stores locally (well, Tom Sawyer looked like it was fished out of a grapejuice river, but that's the only poor quality cart, and it works). I really should have been doing this from the start. I would have saved ... a lot .. of money and gotten many more boxed copies. Although, I gotta admit there's a thrill in going on an adventure and discovering some awesome loot. Occasionally, it's super loot that could only be found in person..... That Metroid was 100yen. Don't know if it works, but wow, lucky!
(http://img199.imageshack.us/img199/3390/cimg3155.jpg)
The Famicoms are junk. One works without sound, the other won't boot up a game. Hoping I can mess with them later and try to fix them though right now I have virtually no knowledge on the matter.
Nice heap!
How does Amazon.jp compare to Yahoo Auction?
Well on Amazon.jp, you just buy whatever is for sale. You don't have to worry about being outbid.
I might have mentioned it in another thread, but that Bionic Commando was around 800yen including shipping. That's outrageously cheap.. Not only is it rather rare to find available, but when I have seen it even as a loose cart it was 3000yen and a mess. Most of the games I ordered cost from 1yen to 300yen plus about 340yen shipping. This is in many cases half the price for what you'd get it in a typical retro game shop, from my experience.
I've never personally used Yahoo auctions, because signing up, bidding, and paying appeared extremely complicated for me.. With Amazon.jp I just browsed through the 50 or 60 pages of results for 'ファミコン' in the famicom section, threw everything I wanted into the cart, and payed for it with my Amazon.com Visa card (or you could use any other credit card I'm sure).. There's also no monthly fee or anything.
I highly recommend it!
edit: Just the other day I made another order of about 10 or maybe 11 games I still need, and received 8 of them today! I don't even expect some of these to come in boxes, but a good number of them are.
It seems nice but I suspect you could get games cheaper at Yahoo., if you're lucky and patient enough... good price on Hitler no Fukkatsu though.
But it doesn't look the sellers on Amazon ship outside Japan, so I'll have to continue with my bulk-buying (provision is always per item, no matter if the package contains one game or 100).
Have you had a look at rakuten?
And speaking of rare games, have you managed to find Che Guevara? How about Castlevania, Gimmick and Hebereke?
I recently got some of the recent purchases home, by the way. Including the astrology game I mentioned earlier. It's quite beautiful, so I'll keep it. :D I also got the game Kung Fu and have put it up for auction, let's see if anyone wants to buy.
A boxed copy of Zelda no Densetsu (the cart version) also arrived and that might sell for a nice sum. Not super-rare, but certainly not common, and Zelda collectors are devoted...
Could be, but I don't have the time to be patient, I'm going back to the US veery soon :blinky:
No, haven't tried Rakuten. Is this for people who are outside of Japan? Just browsing the first 10 pages of 'Famicom' and the prices seem okay, but most of the prices are on par or a little higher than what I've seen at the stores. Maybe I'll use this when I go back home. How do you do international bulk buying?
I've seen Guevera at stores for really high prices, but no loose cart. There's a loose cart on Amazon.jp right now starting at 2730yen including shipping.. That's pretty good, I'd wager.
Castlevania is a rather expensive one... Haven't really found a good deal on that one yet :-\. Hebereke I picked up loose for 2800yen、though I see it on Amazon.jp right now for a few bucks cheaper. Doh.
Still not sure what to do about Bio Miracle Bokutte. ???
Got a pair of 6x9" 3 way 400 watt speakers for my maverick for $24.00 at Wal-Mart :coin: :coin: :coin:
tappybot:
Yesterday Hebereke went for 2,300 yen on YHJ - complete. ;) I thought about placing a max of 5,000 or so, but it's not a priority right now.... + commission and domestic shipping makes buying single games expensive..
The prices on Rakuten come from different sellers, like amazon I think. There's a cheaper Guevara for example.
With bulk buying I simply mean to buy a package of many games. 100, or 50, or so...
Buh! :o Well if I was staying in Japan longer I'd check it out. The thing is I have no idea how to send money to different banks, have limited communication skills, and I hear if you spend too much money on there they end up charging you monthly fees.. If it had paypal support I'd be all over it.

This includes the majority of the famicom games I got from Amazon.jp ... I'll probably have one more lot to show you all that I'll be bringing home... I hope I can come back to Japan soon so I can keep getting games!!
If I come back I might start a little store on the side of a comic website I hope to start up in the next month or two. :yoshi:
Awesome! You bought a expansion port controller, and a nice collection of games! :mario:
I bought another expansion port controller online for about 1800yen, not pictured yet.... Then I found the same exact controller today for 315yen. Unbelievable. If you're patient you can really find anything here for a stunning price.
Got Rockman 4 and 5 yesterday for 260yen each. And a bunch of others at this one place selling every retro cart in their store for 100yen.. Which includes Twinbee, Popeye, Gradius, Double Dragon II, and Edo Period Kuniokun game (and some other junk like Transformers 2 and Bokosura Wars)... CRAZY! It drives someone like me bonkers.
Yea I know very well, if you're patient you can get things cheaper, sometimes.
I have been surprised how expensive the hand controls are for Famicoms. Both AV Famicom and expansion port. Are the expansion port controllers still in production?
Some nice games and some crappy ones in there. Rockman 2 was the last famicom game I played incidentally, one of the best NES games. Spartan X 2 is hard to come by too, I haven't yet had the chance to play it.
But Ronald Land and The Quest of Ki, haha... and that fishing game, is it any good? I sold one of those recently, didn't think much of it.
Yeah, it's not necessarily about getting all the GOOD games... I've developed a bit of a shitty game fetish. Donald Land I've been looking for for a long time now... So glad to have it, despite how horrible it is. I don't know why, I get a kick out of bad games.
However, I was under the impression Quest of Ki was a good one. Huh. All I know is it's a spinoff to Tower of Druaga.
The fishing one I tried for a little bit and seemed kinda neat, but I couldn't out how to catch anything. I'll come back to it later. After months of intense game shopping, that one surprised the heck out of me because I had never ever seen it.
Dragon Fighter looks like it has shitty game potential, but really anything where you're given more control than a text menu (particularly if it's hard as hell) is a lot of fun for me... Was kind of sad to discover Chibi Maruko chan isn't such a game... but a shopping board game. I'd rather it be a terrible platformer. :D
Controllers still in production? I highly doubt it.. at least I've never seen one beyond the Hudson brand ones and maybe a Hori and special function controllers.

thats a great find but for $80? i wouldnt have paid more than $50
linkzpikachu, I have never even seen a bare bones Atari 2600 for less then $50, I guess different areas value things differently?
Some pretty sweet finds as always! Always nice to see guys.
i can usually find barebones with games, controllers, the whole set up for $20-$50 (depending on how many games) in my area

I have never seen any Atari 2600 go for under $50, the case that came with mine is worth $25 and the lot I bought came with the rare Kid's controller.
Essentially I paid $50 for the system and game, $20 for the uncommon case and $10 for the rare Kid's controller.
wow people must be strict on prices where ever you are, around my parts you can get one with one of the cases for $30. Hell i bought my 2600 vader in the box with all the hook ups and paddle controllers for $20
They are relatively obscure where I live, hardly anyone has one and those that do either sell really high or simply do not sell.
Oh ok.
CONTRIBUTION TO THREAD: i got pokemon crystal for $5 bucks and a Jap NGPC game which i think is and unitron game for $5 bucks from my local pawn shop
Recently I got Quarth for the PS2. It's new and still wrapped in plastic. But I think I'll have to open it for the included CD, DVD and awesome booklet.
PS2 Quarth?! Is it a new game or what?
It was released in 2006 under the "Oretachi Geesenzoku" label, which roughly means "We're the Game Center Crowd" in English.
See amazon. (http://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/B000BYUIFW/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_1?pf_rd_p=466449256&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B000068HY5&pf_rd_m=AN1VRQENFRJN5&pf_rd_r=00HR6BFE4MRDHE9YFHRV)
6 bonus items were included with every release of this series, and the game disk looks like a 100 Yen coin (see lower right corner of the package on the amazon page). I also have Yie Ar Kung Fu.
after some reseach i found out the mysteryous japanese game is Biomotor Unitron, damn why couldnt this have been the american version? oh well im happy

Got my 3DS (cosmo black) and asphalt 3D WOO :star: :star: :star: :star:
3DS causes my vision to blur and my eyes to cross, after roughly 30 minutes of gameplay. I took mine back to the store and demanded a refund after just one day.
Do you have any vision problems, like amblyopia, strabismus, esotropia, exotropia, or other stereoptic issues? I can't see 3D images on TVs due to an eye problem, so I'm less than thrilled about all this new 3D tech stuff...
Nope ericj, I can watch 3D tv's and Real-D films but Nintendo 3DS uses strange eye hurting 3D. I am not the only one either, I have heard many complain about it.
Edit- http://ds.ign.com/articles/114/1142304p1.html
What a suprise an article, saying not to play it for more then 30 minutes in 3D mode... what a worthless handheld.
I've played it for 2 hours straight with 3D on max yesterday and my eyes are fine. Or so I think... :crazy:

i second that its only right after im done i notice a slight change in vision, but after a minute im fine
I'm the same as Manuel. I've been playing SSFIV3D for a couple hours with max 3D and my eyes haven't strained at all. I also have no problems with playing the Virtual Boy for long periods of time either. I love the effect the 3DS creates and severely underestimated it since I could never actually see the 3D effect in person. I hope Nintendo released more AR cards. Those are really cool! Well, before that, they should get around to releasing some better games.
Out of the ones that were available to me, which were SSFIV3D, Nintendogs, Steel Diver, Pilot Wings Resort, Madden 2011, Sims 3, Super Monkey Ball 3D, and Bust-a-Move Universe, SSFIV3D was the only one that seemed interesting to me. Bust-a-Move is a fun puzzle game, but does it need to be in 3D? Anyone have any suggestions for me from the above games, or any other North American launch games?

Why not just play with the 3D off? That's what most people seem to be doing anyway, after the novelty wears off.

I'm also wondering why you don't just turn the 3D down. Even without the 3D it's quite a nice system and has a lot to offer.
Today I got Rabbids Travel in Time in the mail. It's no Mario, but really a solid side-scrolling platformer (with slightly generic level design).

Because then it's just a ludacris priced Nintendo DS. I already own a Nintendo DS, I just thought the 3D would be cool but I guess 1/10 people cannot use it.
Even though you own a DS, all big new games will be on 3DS from now on, and the graphics did improve a lot.
I think I was lucky. I didn't buy it for the 3D and I didn't expect much in that direction, so I couldn't be disappointed.

Here's a picture of my EB Games display, finally.
Can you post a pic with a human in it? I just can't imagine how big this is from this photo...
(http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u68/Evil_Vlad/EBGames2.jpg)
AV Famicom with ANN:SMB for comparison sizing.
Are you going to use it to display a Famicom? Or something else?
Originally these displayed NES, so I will probably put a NES inside of it and change the front plate to have a couple NES handbills.
That particular one was probably displaying an Xbox 360 or a PS3, since Call of Juarez: The Cartel was on both of those systems.
EB Games uses the same display cases for years, I remember this exact one back in 1993; it looks just like it did then. The only reason they got rid of it, is because they got new designed cases like 8 day ago.

linkzpikachu, I have never even seen a bare bones Atari 2600 for less then $50, I guess different areas value things differently?
my local game store sells the cart holders for $5, common atari games for $0.99, 2600s for $20 and controllers for $1.99.

enough to spend a shit load of money to upgrade my copy...
Found me a nice German copy of Yoshi's Island DS on eBay. Sometimes I like to play games in my own language for a change. :mario:
Now I hope I'll have it in my mail box soon.
Wow, after hearing about so many problems with ailments from the 3D affects, I'm starting to think the 3DS is worse than the Virtual Boy. Maybe I should buy something else. :octorok:

Take it back! Personally, I don't think the Virtual Boy was that bad in the first place other than the whole red/black thing, which really, once you get used to it, doesn't deter you from the gameplay at all.
I will take that back to it's fullest. I should have said *panned* worse than the Virtual Boy. Nintendo made a mistake canceling the Virtual Boy (from a fan perspective at least). :yoshi:

Complete with the Vader unit, game organiser, 50 games, two controllers, and two paddles!
I read that he tested it with Pac-man and that it worked fine. He even told me with a message that it works fine, so I snagged it.
got dragon quest V for SFC and a pirated version of david robinsons supreme court (Gen) that raises alot of questions in my head
Just bought this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&_trksid=p4340.l2557&hash=item4157f32028&item=280648425512&nma=true&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&rt=nc&si=BWgHr9vg2g0THSlCti7l4%252BrreBA%253D
A four-player Simpsons arcade board! I don't have any means of playing it yet, but I'm going to get a Supergun by my birthday at the latest, and the Simpsons is a fairly uncommon and highly sought-after game, especially the four-player board, and is also my favorite arcade game. I'm excited to get a Supergun and play this with my friends! ;D
i have confirmed my first pirate game!
Fallout: New Vegas (PS3) Brand new!
Splatterhouse (PS3) Brand new!
Sonic the Hedgehog (PS3)
Lego Batman (PS3)
All 4 for $98.
Nice! Can't fend for any of those except Splatterhouse, but you'll really like that one! Did your copy come with codes for the original three Splatterhouse games?
I assume you have to score enough points to unlock each game.
Early copies of the game come with a code insert that you can put in and download the games, but you might also be right for copies that didn't come with that insert.
Sonic's Ultimate Sega Genesis Collection (PS3)
Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe (PS3)
Together for roughly $26 at GameStop because of the Power Saver sale currently going on.
They were both brand new in plastic, which was all the nicer.
My first JPN N64 game.

That's right! A time machine from the 19th century! :crazy:
I finally got a Supergun! I'm excited to start my arcade collection!
Awesome find! That Supergun looks really well made, too. :star:
That's awesome Dork! If arcade pcbs weren't awkward I'd probably have a supergun too.
Thanks guys! My Simpsons board came in the mail today, too. Thing is, I still don't have any controllers. Ericj, in that controller converter I got from you, were the pinouts majorly changed? If not, I would think an NES controller hooked up to that would work in the Supergun's DB15 port made for AES controllers, wouldn't it?
I'm not sure if it would work or not since I don't know the AES controller pinouts. Give it a try and see if it works. Didn't you have a Famicom joypad, or did you sell it? Maybe it'd work?
The seller has numerous ones, I may consider buying one some day!
Congrats on your timemachine nintendodork! It's one of the nicest out there (must have been pretty expensive :upsetroll: )! I wish you many succesfull timetravels!
It doesn't have enough blinky lights to be a time machine. :P
For also $5 locally from the same seller whom sold me the Penguin Famiclone.

Brand new, unused Atari Flashback 2
Today was the day of finding neat stuff for cheap!!
Boxes are a little roughed up, but just got a Famicom ROB and Gyromite sets, all the pieces in really good condition though there is only a manual for Gyromite.. The ROB robot was just sitting it it's box without any papers.
Anyway I got all of it for 2000yen. :o
Good deal or great deal??
Wondering if I should go back for the Virtual Boy for 3000yen... Not all that interested in having that though, but I'd like to snag good deals where they can be found.
edit: Here's the last mass of games I had acquired about a month or so ago, just now getting the pic up. Got the Rockman games for 210yen each and a slew of the rest of the games here for 100yen, including Double Dragon 2 and all the loose famicom carts on the right except the rest of the bottom row, at this incredible tiny store I stopped by on a way to a distant Hard Off.
Anybody know any info on the AC adapter and video out wires for the SG 1000? It didn't include either.
oops, forgot to add the picture

Yeah fredj I probably should.. I had been using this thread since sometimes I had other stuff too.. Also, I didn't understand why the famicom finds were in the 'buy/sell' thread, I was thinking I wasn't buying or selling from any member sooo... but Yeah I probably should just do that, almost everything I get is famicom anyway.

Gasp!
*Adds supergun to WTB thread*
The guy I bought mine from puts a new one up for auction weekly. The Supergun that plays all PCBs always has a starting price of $150, and he has the auctions up for a week. Occaisonally, he'll put up a BIN of either the Supergun that plays all PCBs or his Supergun that's made specifically for Neo-Geo PCBs, which I think is a dumb idea. If you buy a Supergun, you obviously want to play more than just Neo-Geo games, but whatever.
Make sure you notice the differences between the two, because I actually bid on the Neo-Geo one thinking I was getting the regular one. I told him about my error and he very kindly switched them out with no hassle.
Here's his eBay page: http://shop.ebay.com/jojoultimate/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=&_trksid=p3686
Majin and the Forsaken Kingdom (PS3)
Enslaved - Odyssey to the West (PS3)
Both are brand new from GameStop for a combined price of $26... Power saver sale rocks!
Was hoping to win the Gamecube demo lot because people are... I'm not happy that I lost at all and I hope I find another opportunity to obtain the demo soon.
None of the mahjong games arrived yet.
Just now! Pokonyan! (Poko Nyan) or (Poko-Nyan) whatever. Cost me $50 complete. I've heard that this game is even rarer that Rendering Ranger even in cart only form... Pokonyan should have cost me a lot more if that's the case. Can't say I agree though I have never seen even a loose Pokonyan! on Ebay for at least two years. Now I own both rediculously rare Pokonyan games. :D
Here is a picture of the game and contents.

My Supergun came in the mail today, but then I realized one thing. I still don't have any controllers! The NES to Famicom cable didn't work, which made sense after Satoshi Matrix explained to me that a certain chip in the controller must communicate with a certain chip in the NES, otherwise the controller will not work on the system. So, to remedy that problem, I scoured eBay, and eventually found (and won) this auction!
(http://i51.tinypic.com/nz51ch.jpg)
Not only did it come with two CDZ controllers (which generally run upwards of $30 a piece), but it also came with an MV-1F motherboard (which'll run you anywhere from $80-$110), and a 48-in-1 multicart for the Neo Geo! Prices for Neo multis change all the time, but I've never seen this particular one before, and it's got some great games on it, so I'm not exactly sure what ballpark it's in. [Edit: A Google search shows that this cart still fetches upwards of $90] I'll be in business once this comes. :D
I got this for $190 after shipping (heavy motherboards from Canada don't come cheap you know).
So, using my above prices to compare:
$60 for the two controllers
$80 for the motherboard
+$90 for the multi
$230. I'd like to think I got a pretty sweet deal on this.
That's some seriously nice stuff, dork. :gamer:
GRRR I have a simillar NeoGeo board (http://jpx72.detailne.sk/collection_files/arcade_files/neogeo_files/consolesmall.jpg) but there are no controller ports on it... But that's not what's bothering me, I have only two games for it and having a multicart for that system has been my shopping quest for ages!
I wasn't actually concerned about controller ports since my Supergun has two, although I never understood why some Neo Geo boards have controller ports in the first place since generally they're hooked up to a cabinet with a JAMMA control panel.
What revision is your motherboard, jpx? I think I got lucky finding mine. This is the first MV-1F I've actually had a chance to buy, since they're usually sold really fast whenever one shows up on the Neo-Geo.com forums, which by the way, if you're looking for some cheap MVS games, check out the market on their forums. An MVS owner can get so many great deals there. Do you have a list of the games on your multicart, or perhaps a picture? What's the other game you have?
I just got my preordered copy of Socom 4: Full Deployment Edition today, the original copy I ordered got sold to a customer by some stupid new employee at Game Stop earlier in the week. So I had to wait until 3 days after it was officially released to receive my copy, but what is the point of preordering if my copy isn't given to me until 3 days after all the people who just went to the store and bought there's that day... very lame.
My name was also on a paper slip on top of the box or atleast that's what the manager told me, so he said he doesn't know how the new employee could possibly be dumb enough to sell it to a random person whom walks inside. He then looked over at the guy and said, your fired!
Also I bought a Nyko Media Hub Slim for my PS3 because I needed more USB ports.

Hopefully this will be the long awaited addition of Tetris 1.0 into my collection. Can't even tell if the label has 23 or 07A stamped on it... we will find out in about a week.

I picked up a Nintendo Color TV Game 15 yesterday, a pre-Famicom Nintendo console:
http://famicomblog.blogspot.com/2011/04/nintendo-color-tv-game-15.html
It looks great, but that is all I can say for it.
Ouch, that has got to hurt. Have you took apart the broken paddle to see if maybe it just needs a resoldering or something?
wow famicomfreak> I also found that nintendo box too this weekend lol and a friend found 2 of the 3 spyro games too (black label).
famicom related i bought these on saturday, Since I just got a famicom i remembered a lady had these yellow carts. So finally I picked them up and they turned out to be really cool to have.
(http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y278/punkr1300/DSC02540.jpg)
the top cart has: bubble bobble 2, samurai ninja cats, tiny toons 2 and harry potter legend (which that game is interesting itself lol)
bottom cart: super contra, final war, monster in my pocket and snow bros! :D
Punkr13, those definitely are nice multicarts! And yes Harry's Legend is a great game!
To fix that label on cart 2, carefully heat it up with a blow dryer then carefully peel it off and use a craft clue stick and coat the back of the label then center it in the area and hold pressure for a few minutes.
Thanks! I did take the controller apart and, from what I can see, the soldering looks fine and everything is as it should be. I'm not sure what is the cause of it. I'll probably end up buying a junk console off of Yahoo Japan (saw one for 2800 yen) and just take a controller from it. Its an expensive solution, but that is about all I can think of!

Got this on Friday, decided to make a video today!
I got another amazing deal on Famicom carts that I have to brag about here.
19 carts for 100 yen (about 1$ US) each. All of them good ones or ones that I needed, including Solomon no Kagi, a CIB Ice Climber, Family Basic V3, Crisis Force and a bunch of others.
Pics of the lot here:

Yeah, it was pretty great!
I love living in Japan :D
not much too old since its not available here...
SSX 3 (PS2)
Thrillville (PS2) - doesnt work on my silver slim. Incompatibility?
Half-Life (PC)
Half-Life Opposing Force (PC)
Half-Life Blue Shift (PC)
I recently learned that they still sell NES games even at Gamestops in the states. They just stopped selling N64 and Ps1 games here!
Maybe at your Gamestops. I've never seen one in the past half a decade sell anything other then current generation games. :-\

April 3rd they stopped taking GBA games. At least the ones around me.
Yep. All the ones closest to me quit taking them on April 3rd too, and the GBA games they still have are all in a little cardboard box all individually priced. The bastards want $40 for a Pokemon Emerald cartridge because it's apparently "the rarest Pokemon game." ::)
Surely the rarest one is that haunted black and white one. I don't know my Pokémans, mind you. I'll readily admit that.

A friend of mine in New England said they just stopped taking in NES games and that's whrn it shocked me. Our store here is still taking all sixth generation stuff in and selling it. GBA too I think.

picked some stuff up today ^_^
Sega 32x boxed complete with Star Wars Arcade for $62! I read something about it being a Star Wars edition or something. Also bought DOOM, Motocross, and virtua Racing Deluxe complete in excellent shape for $21.
Honkaku Shougi Fuunjuu Ryuu SFC for about $5 complete in very good condition. Some wear on box with an annoying price sticker. Same Deal for Pro Mahjong Kiwame 1.
Here's some goods I got today and the other day:
- Gameboy Fat in good condition - 315yen
- Famicom System in pretty good condition for - 210yen
- Famicom AND Famicom Disk System for - 525yen
- Transparent Gameboy Pocket - 525yen
- Hudson Famicom Controller - 210yen
- Famicom RF Switch with an attached connector head thingy - 210yen
and all of it works!
Pretty happy with all that :D
Nice finds, tappybot.
Old Gameboys were dirt cheap in 2003 in my area! I got a working one for 10 Yen and a not working one for 1 Yen. :o That was a crazy sale and today I wonder why I didn't buy their entire stock. :crazy:
got:
Last Battle-$2.69
Shadow Dancer: The secret of Shinobi-$2.69
NES promo poster-$0.50
somebody traded in their entire collection with some good games like earthbound, MegaMan X3, Splatthouse 2, and many shinobi games. All the super rare games were like way below half price too :o

Jeez! Were they reasonably priced?
Nice finds, Tappybot! Based on the prices and selection I'm guessing those were Hard Off purchases??
And Manuel - 10 yen GameBoys? Wow! And you think I get good deals! I had to pay 300 for mine! :D
Yep, got all that stuff at Hardoff. :mario:
I now have 5 gameboy pockets... For whatever reason, I can't stop buying them, particularly when they're only 525 w/ box.
Oh man, did I come back here to mention I got a Famicom ROB and Gyromite sets in boxes for 2100yen, too?? Good deals lately!
What I could really use a good deal on would be a simple set of AV cords for Nintendo consoles that aren't 800yen a pop... Why so expensive? Right now I could use another set just for the convenience of not having to switch between famicom and super famicom.
The mail came today and so did my boxed 32x Star Wars Arcade complete. DOOM, Motocross and Virtua Racing Deluxe came.
Tetris TRAT came today and it is version
Spoiler
1.1 unfortunately. 23A is stamped on my cart and I still need 1.0! Damn it! At least I own the Link edition box, instructions and link cable.

LOL, as a guy who has 11 Red and White Famicoms sitting on his shelf collecting dust, I know EXACTLY how you feel! ;D A bargain is an impossible thing to resist, even if you already have the thing they are selling!
Good find with the ROB and Gyromite sets too, thats a really good price.
In my recent "finds" news, I picked up a Mario Bros. Game and Watch the other day:
http://famicomblog.blogspot.com/2011/05/mario-bros-game-and-watch-hits-road.html
It wasn't a steal, but I paid a fair price for it and really love the thing.
Omocha Souko, just keeps sounding like a rip-off shop with the continuing purchases you make from them.
:(

somebody traded in their entire collection with some good games like earthbound, MegaMan X3, Splatthouse 2, and many shinobi games.
Jeez! Were they reasonably priced?
i didnt check, though i know earthbound was like $57
I would be willing to fork out that amount for SNES Earthbound, good price!
I am considering buying Mother 2 for SuFami because a CIB copy is like $28... How hard do you think it would be to play for a person whom doesn't know how to read Japanese?
I am considering buying Mother 2 instead of Earthbound as it's 1/4th the price; and you get a box and manual with it. I am glad I own a SuFami!

:(
LOL, yeah, it totally is. They are a really great place to buy "junk" stuff in their bargain bins, but they are a horrible place to buy more expensive stuff from. From now on, Omocha Souko is my junk shop, Mandarake is my 'glass case' shop!
CD Land is a place like that around here, cheap things are amazingly cheap but expensive things are mega expensive and broken. I only buy random controllers, and the occasional cheap GB games from them. (and I mean occassional as most are $15-30) They charge $20 for a copy of Gyromite, I guess they confused regular Gyromite with the converter version; and SMB 3 for $35. Lol
Got this bundle today:
(http://i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc508/kristinn_olafur/PICT9248.jpg)
Fully working European NES + 2 Controllers and NES Zapper
Double Dragon II with box and manual
World Cup with box
Werewolf with box
Super Mario Bros with manual
Super Mario Bros/Duckhunt
Super Mario Bros 3
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Solar Jetman
Powerblade
Puzznic
4-In-1
4x NES plastic sleeves and 1x Pirated cardboard sleeve
Paid 15.000 ISK for this, roughly 135 USD. Good deal or bad deal?
It depends. I wouldn't pay that much for that lot especially with all the common games then again you have lots of fun games in that lot. For a great evening of classic gaming, it is a good purchase but for collection value, it's not so great. I do like that 4 in 1 cart you have, gotta wuv pirates ^_^'
Furthermore, here is a lot of Playstation goodness I got last night. Be sure to check out my blog for the rest of the photos!

Yup, what keeps them afloat is their reasonably priced current gen games.
Since I'm moving soon, I figured I'd hit up the old flea market one last time. Pre-PS2 game selection was pretty dismal. Didn't want to leave empty-handed, so I picked up a Super Joy III tv-game unit. It has Street Figher 12 Peoples and Harry Potter on it, along with 75998 other games ::)
(http://ximwix.net/storage/img_2053.jpg) (http://ximwix.net/storage/img_2055.jpg)
Probably not the best deal at $18, but not awful, either.
Is the Super Shrek Bros. hack on there?
I picked up these items recently.
New Yatterman: Nanndai Kanndai Yajirobe (Super Famicom) (Complete in excellent condition)
Super Tetris 2 + Bombliss (Super Famicom) (Complete in excellent condition)
Super Tetris 2 + Bombliss Limited Edition (Super Famicom) (Complete in excellent condition)
Super Tetris 3 (Super Famicom) (Complete in excellent condition)
I was at a Flea Market today and I found an Epoch Cassette Vision Complete in Box for only 1000 yen (12 bucks or so)!
http://famicomblog.blogspot.com/2011/05/flea-market-finds-part-1-epoch-cassette.html
This was the first programmable video game console released in Japan, about 2 years before the Famicom. I'm so psyched! Unfortunately I don't have any carts for it. That'll be my next mission.
There's a flea market in Hakozaki?! :o
Why wasn't there one when I was in Fukuoka? :upsetroll: I'm beginning to think that town hates me. :P
Quote from: senseiman on May 15, 2011, 03:34:19 am
My conclusion: its got a lot of wires and stuff in there.
HAHA I love your conclusion! :D :D :D
LOL, thanks, jpx72 ;D
And its a shame you missed out on the Hakozaki market, Manuel. Actually they usually don't have much in the retro-game department, but sometimes they do (and the other stuff they have is interesting). Its only once a month.
This is the other thing I got there, BTW:
http://famicomblog.blogspot.com/2011/05/flea-market-finds-part-2-nintendo.html
A 1977 Nintendo Ultra Machine DX. For only 800 yen, boxed but incomplete. Still a good deal I think!
Today via Craigslist!
Commodore 64 (working)
Commodore 1541 Disk Drive (working)
Commodore MPS 803 Printer w/ Disk (working)
X3 Serial Cords
RF Adapter
Power Adapter
30+ Misc Disks
1 Commodore controller
All for $20! I am amazed, I had never seen one for sale locally and I refused to buy off the Internet! Good times!
All that for 20$?!! :o
Apologize to the man for robbing him! ;D
Great find!
Thanks! I thought so too, I have been learning basic on it; I programmed my first game using basic from an old compute! Magazine. :) awesometastic!
That is an insane deal for 20 bucks! Enjoy! ;D
It was cheaper than the shipping would cost for such a lot! Congrats!
(and I'm jealous about that 1541 drive... been searching that for a long time!)
Also I have just bought a Mega Drive + 6 games and 2 controllers for 15€ (http://jpx72.detailne.sk/home_files/sonic.gif)
Were there any nice games on the disks?
Most of the have been blank thus far; I will keep checking them.
Pro Mahjong Kiwame 64 complete with one small tear on the box :(
Super Bombliss complete in excellent condition
Harley's Humongous Adventure cart only in excellent condition
FIFA 96 Super Nintendo cart only in excellent condition
bunch of Japanese Game Boy/GBC games including Tetris with the label DMG-TRA-1 having 00A stamped on the cart. Oddly and unfortunately, this isn't 1.0.
Mike Tyson's Punchout on Famicom for 100yen.
I got a mint hardly used gameboy classic for £7 last weekend, came with a new copy of SMB Land, a case and Tiny Toons by Sunsoft, which is an even nicer (IMO) port of the famicom version.
Picked up a Gameboy SP and a bunch of good classic games (Warioland 3, SMB deluxe etc.) for £30 too, the SP is scratched to hell but the screen is lovely, just gonna get a case swap for it, maybe one of those knock off limited edtion ones :)
Parasite Eve (PS) for 50 Yen. :)
Got "PICACHU" from Bramsworth for the SNES. I'm excited to play my first SNES pirate!
Are'nt SNES/SFC pirates generally harder to come by?
I don't see them nearly as often as I see Famicom pirates, but I may just not be looking in the right places. I got PICACHU from Bramsworth's sales thread on here, though.
thats really one of the only ones ive seen so thats why i asked
Went to the flea market today! Scored some neat items!

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare for Xbox 360
This is my first CoD I ever bought.
I got hooked up on CoD Modern Warfare series because it looks like a great fps modern series, and MW3 is coming up.
I didn't want to buy Halo 3 because I haven't even finished Halo 1, I'd have to read the synopsis but I prefer the completing the game and know its story.
If you like MW you should definantly look into CoD: Black Ops
I just got Ocarina of Time 3D from Yamada Denki. I hope I'll have time to play it in the evening. :gamer:
I also already applied for the free soundtrack CD. I hope they'll send that out soon. ;D
Gamecube Interactive Version 30 cased. Just a few more to go and finding them will be hell as it panned already during my search.
A PAL Gamecube Demo cased. I may or may not keep it. Haven't decided yet.
I got a Zelda lanyard, pin and Starfox pin from E3 - not much but nice I guess!
enough to make me jealous
Yes, mee too!
I also want a Zelda lanyard! :octorok:

Ohh Nintendo. I wish they would've just done the prepaid thing in the first place. They started with Wii points, then moved to Nintendo points because of the DSi, and now it's just money on a card like iTunes or PSN.
where i went is right on the edge of the capital city and it was the second to last copy they had for retail sale (non reserved copy)
Got this game today.

Was a bit surprised to find a mega drive game,the game store I went to is going out of business so everything was 50% off so I only paid 4 bucks for it,game came with no manual but no big deal.
Sega Mega Drive games in US?
But SMD is EU/JP, the US version is Genesis.
I'm pretty sure early European Mega Drive games can be played on a Genesis.
BTW, I got a couple things earlier myself: ;D
Spoiler
(http://i54.tinypic.com/vcz1bt.jpg)
Hebereke's Popoon (SNES)

I found the mega drive game at some video game store I never been to and bought right away,the game is PAL but it plays fine on my sega genesis.
Finally got Zelda: OoT 3D. I like it.
How far are you?
Not very. I haven't had a whole lot of time to sit down and play it. I'm currently just finishing up the Great Deku Tree.

is that movie any good? ive wanted to watch it for a while now but didnt know if it was good or sucked ballz
The action sequences are pretty awesome, but the storyline is quite boring/confusing unless you're a fan of FF7.
Yeah, it's a great film.
Even if you're not a fan you'll be sure to like it or even love it.
I've seen FF7:AD so many times in the past but when I saw the trailer in HD, I noticed they had "miles" instead of kilometres which was rather annoying, but it was probably due to americanising it a bit for the US fans.
Anyway, today I received Desert Punk complete boxset. ^_^
(http://img7.imagebanana.com/img/xyippflm/R2UKDPBOX.PNG)
Not my pic but it's the same exact of the boxset.
Nonetheless, much better than FUNimation's Viridian set. :)
Found an old model Playstation, orange NES zapper, and Street Fighter II for SNES at the Swap Shop.
Playstations, Playstations everywhere...
Just bought Final Fantasy, Final Fantasy II and Final Fantasy IV (all PSP/US versions) for 55$ shipped. :coin: Not bad I think. FFIV alone goes for that price in Japan.
(http://img7.imagebanana.com/img/mwk047g7/ff7acc.PNG)
The HD is stunning on this one, plus, it also comes with extra footage the DVD didn't get.
I must say "PG" rating is a bit odd, because the extra footage is really violent, I won't spoil any more.

These games were at low prices on Amazon so decided to buy them because they're worth it.
AitD:TNN is my last PS1 game I've bought for now, these were all the cheap games I liked.
Haven't tested it yet, but got a Twin Famicom in Box for 3000yen. The disk drive apparently doesn't work, but I figure it can be replaced without too much hassle with one from a working Famicom Disk system unit.
Very nice score!
Boxed items are usually in great condition, so you should be fine once you replace the drive belt.
Actually, I think I ought to just buy a couple new belts so I can repair all my broken disk systems.
Manuel, do you know where I can order, or pick them up, in Japan? Or perhaps I could buy some from you, if you have them? :help:
I had a link to a shop selling belts for cheap in my old bookmarks...
If I have time and if I don't forget (this might be the bigger problem >_<) I'll check my old FF bookmarks and let you now.
Tomy's shop, ToToTEK.com, has FDS drive belts for $6 shipped HERE (http://www.tototek.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=106).

My Gamecube action Replay V1.08 arrived today with another Action Replay Memory Card. My Gamecube will no longer read disks so i need a new one... just as I'm about to use it. Paid $75.00 for it and I could of had an Action Replay Max for just under $40.00 but you know, not everything went as planned with that. Shipping was free so that's a plus.

Marble Madness + Klax
Spy Hunter + Super Sprint
Tetris Worlds (must be a label variant and a different game from the other GBA Tetris Worlds... what is going on with these Tetris games?!?!?)
Now, I'm only looking for a small number of GBa games to complete my collection. These games will be listed in my for sale thread.

Dragon Box Six got dispatched today.
Amazon may be slow but the pre-order prices are great!
Family Trainer Mat for just under 1000yen.. Hard to believe but it's the only one I've seen in a year of being here. Unfortunately I sent back my collection with family trainer games... Still need Takeshi's Castle though, so maybe I'll spot that for cheap.
I just found out that a new Picross game was available for download on the 3DS.
I couldn't resist of course. :gamer:

Oooh man. I hope that comes to the US.
I hope that too (for you).
It's quite good. Thanks to the higher resolution 15x15 grids are now displayed without scrolling. :star:
Got some neat items today! WUT!

how is Mimama ive been thinking about picking it up for quite some while now......
I heard it's an OK game. I don't have my PSP or plan on opening it anyways but if you do want to pick it up try eBay as it's cheaper than in Gamestop. I'm a sucker for anime cover art especially on RPG games!
i fell your pain on the anime cover art
Finally got my PS3! Let the games begin!

Freak @ You got ripped off, a new copy of 3D Dot Game costs $12,69 on Amazon and you bought a pre-owned for $17,99.
Well I needed to play the game right away and it's only a five dollars difference so I don't mind. The game is quite good and very retro! loved it!

It's a later version, or earlier, can't remember.
I don't know if there are differences in the games. But the manual is sligthly different and has revision -1. I think the box also has the orange color.
My second 1982 Japanese handheld of the week: Tomy's "Powerman".

Possibly the best game on the system and one that was never released.
I seem to have neglected my Virtual Boy for about a year and a half. Still need to find the games CIB. I only have a few loose games and the sealed Baseball game. :P

I haven't bought any classic games in a really long time, so I figured I'd do a little bit of that. Over the last week or so, I've bought...
Sin and Punishment and Diddy Kong Racing (both NTSC-J for the N64) from Senseiman.
The fourth Crayon Shin-Chan game (NTSC-J) on the Game Boy from Manuel.
And today after getting an EEG in Omaha, I stopped by Gamers and got...
Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters (Game Boy) Since this is the only other game Pit is in, I figured I'd give it a go.
Goldeneye (N64) I've never really sat down and played this game before and I'm really excited to finally be able to.
Bugs Bunny: Lost in Time (PS1) I had this game as a kid on the PC, and saw it there for Playstation and decided to get it and play through it again! (My current laptop doesn't support games made for Win98. :P)
Unrelated to gaming, I've recently gained an interest in books by Hunter S. Thompson, and got a few of those online, as I probably mentioned somewhere else on here. Those books are...
Screwjack; a compliation of three short stories
The Curse of Lono; basically "Fear and Loathing in Hawaii."
Gonzo: A book of various letters written to and from Thompson, as well as several photographs he had taken throughout his career.
I was about to say "how the fuck can you not have played Goldeneye?!?" but then I remembered that when the game came out you were probably a toddler. :P
Out of the several N64 games I had, Goldeneye wasn't one of them, and none of my friends had it either! I guess FPS's just didn't appeal to 5/6-year olds back then. :P
Got these SFC games for quite cheap:
(http://i54.tinypic.com/2n84tfs.jpg)
Interested to see how Goldeneye holds up to a newcomer in the 21st Century. It's still fun in multiplayer, when we played it a couple of years ago - but will it be fun in single player still? Let us know!
NDS Lite WUT
(http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff280/luiszena/DSC01938.jpg)

Possibly my greatest retro game purchase ever:
(http://i1095.photobucket.com/albums/i470/Seanofjapan/Famicom%20games/P1080987.jpg)
Almost half the entire library of the short-lived Epoch Super Cassette Vision`s software for 1400 yen (about 20 bucks).
These things are amazing. I don`t have the console yet but couldn`t let the opportunity to pick these up so cheap pass. Put some more pics up on my blog here:
http://famicomblog.blogspot.com/2011/10/mega-bargain-of-day-pile-of-epoch-super.html
Very interesting console. I think these are the only video game carts out there capable of giving the Famicom a run for the title of `most colorful`.
NTSC Super Nintendo with the following
ALL Hookups
Super Mario All Stars
Super Metroid
The Lion King
Monopoly
Pac Man 2 The New Adventures
Donkey Kong Country
Donkey Kong Country 3 Dixie Kongs Double Trouble!
Mortal Kombat 2
Pac Attack
Super Mario World
Hyperzone
Eye of the beholder
All for 30 dollars! Surprised to find donkey kong country 3 in there.
Super Ghouls and ghosts $8 SNES (cart only in excellent condition)
Zombies AMN $18 SNES (cart only in excellent condition)
Turtles In Time $24 SNES (cart only in excellent condition)
Super Double Dragon $5 SNES (cart only in excellent condition)

and Glover for the N64 $6 (cart only in excellent condition)

500 yen bought me this baby:
http://famicomblog.blogspot.com/2011/10/mega-bargain-of-day-sega-sg-1000-ii.html
Sega SG 1000 II, the predecessor to the predecessor to the Sega Master System. Don`t know if my new console works or not yet, but I`m quite happy with the purchase anyway ;D
Nice find senseiman! Like you, I have no way to test my finds of today. But that day will come! Hopefully for the both of us :)
But today I went to the goodwill store, like I do almost every month now. But this time I found something directly related to retro gaming stuff!
(http://kiddo.blog.is/users/34/kiddo/img/megadriveleikir.jpg)
Found these Mega Drive games! Mostly sports games that I usually don't like, but they were cheap so I took them anyway. My Mega Drive console is missing it's AC adapter so I can't test these out until I find a replacement adaptor.
(http://kiddo.blog.is/users/34/kiddo/img/ps1x2.jpg)
Also found these two PS1s, but no adapters or controllers came with them. Like the Mega Drive games, they were so cheap I couldn't resist.
(http://kiddo.blog.is/users/34/kiddo/img/sinclairspectrum1.jpg)
And finally, a whole bunch of Sinclair Spectrum games. Now these were DIRT cheap, but I am really not sure why I took them since I'll probably never find a working Sinclair Spectrum computer or the will to play these games :D
But the covers on the boxes alone make it all worth it, so much retro goodness!
Sorry for the lousy pic quality.
LOL, I know where you are coming from, Kiddo! Even if you can't play them - a bargain is a bargain!
Those Spectrum games look great, I agree with you about the box art making it worth it. I like the look of that A View to a Kill game. A lot of people rate that as one of the worst Bond movies (and rightly so), but by coincidence it was also the first Bond movie I saw as a kid when it came out so I have a soft spot for it. Nightgunner and Starstrike look cool too!
Another day and more findings! Gotta keep it up!!
Picked these up at Toys r us ^_^

Three Game & Watches? Nice! Looks like that Octopus has taken a beating though. How are the Mario Bros. holding up?
Yeah they are all in ok condition well actually they all work believe it or not even the octopus one. I'm happy ^_^
Yeah, nice finds with those Game and Watches, they look great! I have that Mario Bros. one too, its a good one. Now you have a back up just in case ;D
Yeah definitely going to keep them so I can show off to my friends and be like I not only have a Mario Bros Game and Watch but I have two Mario Bros Game and Watch HAR HAR HAR!
Great find FF! I love the octopus game&watch! I have the russian version of it in my collection! It's called "the secret of the ocean"

The tiny, nice-looking famiclone system that came out a few years ago, the Famulator, looks similar in design to the predecessor of your console, but using the Famicom colours of red and white with gold letters.

I think this brand is more well-known outside of eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union, for its digital watches.

Nu, pogodi!
Today I picked up a copy of Pacar for my SG-1000 II.
When I picked it off the shelf at the store, it was still sealed in its original box and packaging. Then something surprising happened:
http://famicomblog.blogspot.com/2011/10/another-extremely-rare-sealed-game.html
OH MY GOD! This is outrageous! This will probably make me want to scream at the seller for being incompetent dick! Personaly I wouldn't buy it after that... Sorry for your loss.
You would not be able to hold me responsible for whatever I do after committing such an act in front of me.
LOL,yeah I was in too much shock to do much other than just stare in shock! Fortunately I don`t collect sealed games (and it wasn`t priced like an expensive sealed game) so I wasn`t too pissed. Still though - it kind of hurt ;D!
Medievil (PS1)
Yugioh! Forbidden Memories (PS1)
Kirby's Dreamland (GB)
Yugioh! Eternal Duelist Soul (GBA)
Donkey Kong Land (GB-P)
Donkey Kong Land 2 (GB-P)
Game & Watch Gallery 2 (GB-P) Now I have all 4!
Brutal Legend (PS3)
Overlord: Raising Hell (PS3)
I bought all these over the last couple days and forgot to post them.

Wasn't expecting it to be CIB, but I'm not complaining. I love Japanese GB boxes. ;D
Nice that you liked the "surprise". :D
Bought a slightly beat up orange Torchic GBA SP shell/housing to replace my original shell with. Torchic GBA SP's sell for hundreds boxed and about $125 loose. I paid $34.99 for the housing; and $1.99 for a tri-wing screwdriver, so in the end the total conversion of my GBA SP which I bought last month for like $30 is around $70 after taxes and shipping.
That's a $55 savings buying a busted Torchic model and just converting a plain common GBA SP.
New findings!

Virtual Boy. Complete in its original box with the manual and everything. Works great. Guess how much I paid for it!
Found an Oil Panic Game & Watch at the goodwill store 3 days ago. It looks good on the outside and the inside but the battery cover is missing. Still haven't bought batteries to see if it works. Cost me about 4$.

I love them too :D (all of the 210 I have; just another 100 and I'm almost half-way). And I love Crayon Shin-Chan too. :) Nr 4 is the hardest one to get, I think. The boxes for that series are often in used condition, probably been played a lot.
A funny problem is that game 1, 3 & 4 are of Bandai, and no 2 is of the sub-corp Banalex and doesn't have that number on the side that the Bandai games have.

Awesome pick up Senseiman! You are truly worthy of the name Sensei! HAR HAR HAR!
Thanks, FF! I am the sensei of bargains this week!
I always think of John Kreese (Karate Kid) when I read the word "sensei"... :crazy:

Cobra Kai! Yeah! Sweep the leg!
Yeah.
I got that yellow Cobra Kai T-shirt. It's pretty neat, but nobody here in Japan understands it. ;D

True genius is never appreciated in its own time. For what it is worth: I appreciate the awesomeness of a Cobra Kai T shirt.
This kind of makes me want to watch Karate Kid again. I saw it in the theatres when I was 8 years old and it was one of my favorites. 1984 was a really good year for movies like that - The Last Starfighter, Ghostbusters, Gremlins, etc.
Yeah, a lot of great movies are from the 80s...
To get back on topic:
I got a nice copy of "Gimmick" (for Burai Fighter) in the mail today. :)
was it complete? I need a CIB Gimmick!
Yes, it was indeed CIB and it's already on the way to the UK. :mario:
Finaly completed my pirate megadrive Sonic collection!
Got my Sonic1, 2, 3, Sonic&Knuckles(4) and Sonic3D(5)..and Sonic Jam6

That reminds me, I need to get some more N64 games. :P
Finally found a good deal at my local Goodwill.
(http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y101/pikkonson/n64.png)
The n64 was 10$ and the games were 3$ a piece,not to bad I must say.
At first I was wondering what's that yellow thing "leaking" from that console, later I realized it's a T-shirt logo of some kind... :crazy:
Interresting photo idea ... :o
Haha no seriously, that's a nice catch!
That's a really nice looking N64, Pikkon.
As I'm basically done with the Blu-rays I mostly wanted, now back to games.
The games I'll probably buy next are for Classic Xbox (NFS:U) and Xbox 360 (Forza 3 Ultimate, Enslaved). I sort of lost the collector's feeling inside me and buy games to play 'em.
Picked some new stuff up today ^_^

Look at all that Intellivision! I used to have one of those as a kid. Lock N Chase! That and what was it, Night Stalker... those games taught me the true fear of relentless, frustrating arcade-style gaming. MLB is total ass though.
I picked up a CIB Bandai Intellivision yesterday.

Yeah, I love wood grain paneling on electronics. My gaming TV has wood grain paneling, and I refuse to replace it until I find another old TV with wood grain paneling.
Found a new video game store called R U Game at my local mall and I was blown away when I found out they had a import section,they have a very good amount of FC and SFC games and good prices I might add.
Here is what I got today.
(http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y101/pikkonson/sfcgames.png)
They also have a decent amount of japanese ps1 games,some ps2 games and sega saturn.
UglyJoe - yeah, I would love to have a TV with wood panelling to go with my systems. It would just be perfect.
Pikkon - nice finds, I think you are going to enjoy that JaJarMaru Kun, its one of my favorites.
Jajamaru-kun, F-Zero, and Super II! A winning combination.

The bargains continue.
All the more reason I have to go back to Japan orz
someday my japanese game collection will be higher than 10 games LOL I blame being a freak about completeness of games
Speaking of that, I managed to score a complete Japanese Castlevania Chronicles for the PS1 earlier today for $35, was it a good deal? Searching around the net has showed me they normally go for around $50, and they didn't have everything like this one does so I'm kind of excited to get it :P
I went to a thrift store here in the US, and lo-and-behold, 4 Japanese PS2 games.
DOA2 Hardcore, Onimusha, Maken Shao, and Kessen 2
Nice stuff everyone! I got new finds!

Love that Gameboy! I've always wanted a really good condition Pokemon Gameboy, preferably that one over the Gold/Silver one.
Supposedly this is a little harder to find than the gold and silver one but not sure if that's entirely true.
I found 5 MSX games today:

Very nice and much better than what they usually go for on eBay. I'm in the opposite situation as you as I have an MSX but no carts. Perhaps you can start offering MSX carts for sale if you come across them again? I'd love to get some nice ones for cheap!
Yeah, I looked up the prices on Ebay - ouch! Those Salamander and Parodius carts were selling for 100$ each.
If I get any doubles I`ll give you a shout!
Hit the jackpot after months and months of inactivity.. I'll take some pics when I finally get around to cleaning them.
Guys, is a like-new (in the box) Bio Miracle Bokutte for 13000yen, a good deal? It's the cheapest I've ever seen it with box.. Wondering if I should go pick it up while I can.....
I've seen complete copies for 20000Yen (and much higher) online, so compared to that 13000 is a steal.
I'm sure senseiman will find it in the 100Yen bargain bin one day. :crazy:
I think that is a good deal. They have a copy of that at Mandarake here in Fukuoka in the glass case. I cant remember how much they charged off the top of my head but I remember it was a lot.
And yeah Manuel, Omocha Souko here might put one in a junk pile for 100 yen!!!
I'm starting to think those guys at that store know absolutely nothing about pricing video games. To your advantage! :D
The guys at the places I visit also know nothing, that's why they price everything too high. :P

That's exactly why I don't have any carts for my MSX yet. There just isn't a good flash cart solution for the system and MSX collectors tend to be a rather greedy bunch.

LOL, yeah I am so lucky to have this place right next to wear I live.
I know what you mean too. The Hard Offs in Fukuoka for example all have people who know nothing about games pricing them way too high. 500 yen for Family Stadium and that sort of stuff!

Yeah I was gonna say, a boxed Bio Miracle ain't cheap! Sweet Home's not exactly light on the wallet either.
Minus Bio Miracle Bokutte (bought that at a different store), that lot was about 11000yen or roughly 125-135ish dollars.
Hardoff hadn't anything new for a long time, so when I saw a bunch of boxed famicom games and all kinds of new stuff, I got a little excited and couldn't help myself.
All the famicom disk games and loose carts were 100yen each, except 3D World Runner, which was 200yen.
Super Metroid was 100, along with both those boxed Sega cards.
Sweet Home was 1800yen, but it's in fantastic condition, and I don't own it in the box like that, so I had to have it.
The rest of the boxed famicom games ranged from 300-800yen. (800= Wai Wai World 2)
Sherlock Holmes is one of those crap games you can find for real cheap, but for whatever reason, it's one of the few games I didn't yet add to my collection, and this one's in nice condition in the box, so I figured, what the hell.
Oh, Final Fantasy 1 & 2 was actually 1000 yen.... But I'm telling you, this one is in perfect condition, .. it has a map and an entire player's guide inside too.
Bio Miracle Bokutte, was 13000yen (the cheapest I've ever seen it in box like that) but upon closer inspection, it has a difficult to see tape over the top and bottom inch of the box's perimeter.. I have no idea why it's there, but it seems dangerous to remove. Anyway, it looks great, and the cartridge, instructions, etc, look new. Been waiting for this game for awhile, and at the price, I couldn't resist... There are still a couple games in the medium to high price range that I need to get but that was the most expensive (I'm not looking to own a Recca cart anytime soon)
I have no idea what Doki Doki Highschool is, but I've never seen it before, so I'm happy to get it. Same for Dr. Chaos... though I remember played thing on my friend's NES, and it's kind of a shitty game.. But I'm happy to have it complete on Famicom Disk.
Actually, here's a list of all the games I still need on Famicom cartridge:
Battle Storm
Ys 3 (Famicom)
Moon Crystal
Solbrain
ぴょこたんの大迷路
Wacky Races (Chiki Chiki Machine)
Doropie
Psybuster
Princess Ippai
Chip and Dale
Little Mermaid
Casltevania (they have this at A-too, the same place I got Bio Miracle Bokutte, but it's basically a hundred US dollars.. I'm not feeling that right now)
Power Rangers (blue)
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (US version is Turtles 2)
Adventure Island 4
Captain Saver
Bazoruda
Ripple Island
Grand Master
Hook
Balloon Fight (I want to find this for less than 1000yen, but I never have.. what's the deal :p )
That was a good deal for Bio Miracle Bokutte. I double checked the price at Mandarake for a CIB one and they wanted 23,000 for it, so nice find.
And 800 yen for Wai Wai World 2 CIB? That is a steal!

Got me a fat one ^_^
(http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff280/luiszena/Finds359-FatPlaystation360GB.jpg)
A few things:
*Another Gamecube October 2001 Demo in mint shape.
*July Gamecube demo sealed. I want to open it though I'm waiting for another July demo opened.
*Sonic 3D Blast (Genesis cart only in excellent condition)
*Sega Genesis Game Adapter (Allows you to physically fit a PAL/JAP game in a US console.) Now I no longer have to take apart some of my pirates to play them!
*Clean copy of Toy Story for the Game Boy. Other copy has major label damage. Now, I need to find a copy of the other version. Not sure if mine is 1.0 or 1.1, if it maters.
*Crazy Castle 3 (cart only in excellent shape, GBC)
A ton of GBA games: Most of them I wanted for a long time.
Dr. Mario: I was looking for this after loosing it somewhere a few years ago. Didn't find it in the move. I finally found it in the weirdest unexpected way at dreaded retrogame-stomping Gamestop for $9.99. I may explain later why this specific pickup is special.
*Pitfall: The Lost Expedition (cart only in excellent condition). Not sure if Pitfall 2600 is unlockable in the GBA version.
*Turok Evolution (cart only in excellent condition).
*Bubble Bobble Old/New (cart only in excellent condition). The old one is almost exactly like the New One.
*Boktai: The Sun is in Your Hand (cart only in excellent condition).
*Earthworm Jim (cart only in excellent condition). Now I need the second one.
*OddWorld: Munch's Odysee (cart only in excellent condition). Uhh... well, I like the chant move and farting noise.
*Magical Quest: Starring Mickey & Minnie (cart only in excellent condition).
*Magical Quest 2: Starring Mickey & Minnie (cart only in excellent condition).
*Final Fantasy Tactics Advance (cart only in excellent condition). Could have found a label with less scratches. Oh well
*Another copy of Game & Watch Gallery 4. Now I can link play to complete the game on my other copy. (cart only in excellent condition).
*Atari Anniversary Advance (cart only in excellent condition). Finally found it.
*Donkey Kong King of Swing (cart only in excellent condition). Again.
*Kirby & The amazing Mirror (cart only in excellent condition). Again.
*Super Breakout/Millipede/The other game. (cart only in excellent condition). I need the rest of the compilation games now.
That's all from memory. I think there was one or two more GBA games that I brought.
Having received a load of money yesterday, I happened to be in the right place at the right time and bought the following:
Mega Drive II
Sonic the Hedgehog
Sonic the Hedgehog 2
Virtua Racing
Mega Games I
Goldeneye 007 (N64)
;D

Oh FamicomFreak your finds are always orgasmic
FF, I always wondered, do you buy everything you find or do you choose what you buy?
Lol no i choose what i want to buy of course. Now, i even ask friends if they are interested in some of the stuff i find. The tmnt tournament i bought for a friend, he just needs to come pick it up! But some of these finds are pure coincidence like the frogger mini arcade. I did wrote about it on my blog har har har
Another mystery solved. Thanks. :bub:
Went to my local goodwill to see what they had and they didn't have anything I wanted but I did take this pic. ;D

Got a lot of new stuff with a high percentage of truly rare items, but the personal "crown jewel" of the recent stuff is the one below. Just won it this morning. I've had a loose JPN copy for a while, but finally being able to get it CIB was quite satisfying.

Lol, Jedi, I remember this game having some real awkward controls, when you draw your katana you had to move joystick much like swinging a real blade, which wasn't a simple art, just like in "Zelda: Skyward Sword" using a wii remote + :D

Gamestop had a half off sale on their gamecube games last night. Here are the results
(http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff280/luiszena/Finds377-GamecubeMadnessThankstoGamestop.jpg)
Wow - I used to have a Super Shredder action figure just like that! It's probably the same one. :D
I picked up a second 1977 Nintendo Color TV Game 15 a couple of days ago:
http://famicomblog.blogspot.com/2011/12/double-color-tv-game-15-trouble.html
I already had one, but one of the controllers was broken. Funnily enough the one I just got also had one of the controllers broken. Fortunately that meant they had 2 working controllers between them so I was able to cobble together one fully functional console out of them!
Let's just say I only need Zelda NES to complete my GBA Classic NES games now. Don't feel like writing a list.
Pac-Attack (SNES) (Cart only in excellent condition)
Jurassic Park: The Lost World (Game Boy) (Cart only in excellent condition)
Killer Instinct (Game Boy) (Cart only in very good condition. I hate stock photos!)
I think that covers all of my recent purchased. Not sure though, just going from memory.
A very interesting day of findings! Check them out!

whew.. more finds for 2012 guys! ;D
Yesterday I found a CIB "Atlantis no Nazo" and a boxed Famicom at a local shop.
The new year started well!
Found a lot of new (old) stuff in december. Here is some of the stuff :D
10 NES games, some good ones to boot. I love Little Nemo and Snake Rattle n Roll! Also found this strange NES pirate that I have yet to test.
(http://nordnordursins.is/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/NESleikir-300x225.jpg)
A Sinclair Spectrum, have yet to test it since I haven't been able to locate a cassette deck yet.
(http://nordnordursins.is/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/zxspectrum-300x225.jpg)
6 Sega games CIB.
(http://nordnordursins.is/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/segaleikir-300x225.jpg)
An Atari clone, just like the one I had when I was five :D Didn't come with an AC adapter though so haven't been able to test it.
(http://nordnordursins.is/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/atariklon-300x225.jpg)
And last but not least, 4 pirate famicom games. That 4-in-1 game is actually a 1-in-1 Adventure Island game ???

Oh man that thing is awesome! If I had 1500 bucks to blow I'd definitely buy one.
My latest scores, not the games themselves, but Nobuo Uematsu's autograph on my copies of Final Fantasy III and V.

Right? I'd love to be seen lugging that thing around, and then the looks on people's faces when they see it's actually a good computer. ;D

Very nice!
Next time you meet him give him a Dragon Quest game to sign and see what he does. ;D
funny you should say this...
At the Q&A Panel, Uematsu stated that after he did the music on the Final Fantasy VI opera scene, Koichi Sugiyama called him up and asked why he didn't call him, he would've helped him out on that part.
I got the original Nintendo light gun today, CIB!
Not the 1985 NES Zapper. Not the 1984 Famicom light gun. I mean the 1970 Kousenjuu SP Gun!
http://famicomblog.blogspot.com/2012/01/mandarake-finds-kousenjuu-sp-gun-and.html
Unfortunately it doesn`t work (not that I would have much use for it anyway), but I`m quite happy with it nonetheless.
New stuff!

I got a few Mega Drive carts today. :D
Squirrel King
Super Bubble Bobble
4 in 1
Master of Weapon
All of them apart from the latter are pirate carts, and I can't play the latter because I don't have a Japanese Mega Drive.
Found a whole bunch of NOS/CIB Sega Saturn PAL games at the local goodwill store. They were cheap but I'm still not sure if I made a good deal since I don't even have a Sega Saturn... but I guess I'll try and sell the doubles and the triples on Ebay or something and a Saturn will find it's way to me eventually.
Spoiler
(http://nordnordursins.is/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_0189.jpg)
Also a few other random games I picked up in the same trip. I have a bad habit of picking up cheap games even though I don't have the consoles to play them ???

Is that Squirrel King boxed or cart only? (Does a box even exist for this game?)

Mine's a pirated version (that is, a pirate of a pirate :P ) which came loose. I think the original release was CIB (most Mega Drive pirates come boxed, from what I've noticed).
I picked up a Mega Drive adaptor (the thing that lets you play Mark III carts on it) for only 300 yen CIB the other day;
http://famicomblog.blogspot.com/2012/01/sega-mega-drive-adaptor-and.html
The size of my Mega Drive has now gotten to the point that we may need to put an addition onto the east wing of the house to accomodate it. Well, we would if we had a house anyway. As renters our options are limited but....anyway, not important.
Nice!
A shop near me has that, too, but they want 8000 Yen for it. Pfft. :P

It's not so rare, but it's nice :) Fire Emblem is more uncommon and maybe nicer :)
Yes, I didn't spent much on them either. I've wanted FF3 complete since I started Famicom collecting back in 2005 so it's finally mine. ^_^
Some stuff I've accumulated over the past couple months:

Found these in a second hand store. Now i just need to find a parallel to USB adaptor and and a cable.
On the GameDoctor Cartridge was already Kirby 2 but nothing else of real interest.

Was in Hardoff tonight, after work..
Found a game I never had and ever even seen... I guess it just eluded me, because I think I have around 700 or more famicom games now.
'Battle Formula'.. Looks like a racing game.. Could be like Spy Hunter?
Quote from: tappybot on January 31, 2012, 05:38:43 am'Battle Formula'.. Looks like a racing game.. Could be like Spy Hunter?
The North American release was actually called Super Spy Hunter. ;)
Again, tappybot, there is a thread for famicom finds
http://www.famicomworld.com/forum/index.php?topic=683.0
Seems to be another rare and great SunSoft game. I often wonder why they had such small runs and were not more popular.

Not sure about that game, but wow, 700? We are about tied then as my collection is up to a little over 700 now.
Wanna race to see who gets them all first? ;D It might take us a while though, I`ve found that since I passed 600 it has been getting harder and harder to find games that I need.
You two should make up a thread where you post your numbers, so we can see who gets there first. :mario:
I second what Manuel said!

It's the freakin' Technodrome™©® & sometimes ℗!
Must wear shades to protect eyes from awesomeness. 8)
Its funny to think that if the Technodrome was ACTUALLY scaled to the figures size and show accurate, it would be about the size of a small Honda Civic....NOW thats a playset!
It looks scaled almost to this:

I recently got:
Dragon Quest 25th Anniversary Collection
Mega Man Anniversary Collection
Mega Man X Collection
The King of Fighters XI
The King of Fighters '98 Ultimate Match
Capcom vs SNK 2 Mark of the Millennium
Phantasy Star 2

Zebraman 2 DVD/Bluray combo
This radass Rockman model kit (a gift from my girlfriend)
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v343/AlgoFonix/derpmang.jpg)
Not from all at once, though. This is mostly what I got from around Christmas til now. Kinda broke now. :/
Yesterday, I bought a Gameboy Light off of eBay; its the silver one. When it arrives in about a week Ill add a picture to this posting.
Received some gifts from the family today :)

Just got a Sega Saturn along with 27 games, 3 different joysticks, a multitap and a ROM cart. All the games are CIB and the console itself and peripherals are brand new to the look and feel. Quite happy with this purchase :)
Warning, huge pic!
Spoiler
(http://nordnordursins.is/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Saturn+games.jpg)
EDIT: Oh nevermind the huge pic, it exploded my browser in the preview but looks good under the spoiler button.
That's some amazing game collection kiddo! Both Nights, Wipeout,TombRaider, Panzer Dragoon2, .... .... .... Only thing missing is the LightGun for that Virtua Cop! :D
That reminds me... I have to get a replacement Saturn and do the region mod. My last one gave up the ghost right before Christmas. :/
Dat KoF 95.
I have another fantastic find to report!
Some facts about my new treasure;
Made in 1967 by Nintendo. Designed by Gunpei Yokoi.
Found it complete in box in immaculate condition.
BIN price on Ebay for one in lesser condition: 300$.
I paid: 2000 yen (about 25$).
Here she is:

I'm always anxious looking into this thread when I see your name under it on the front page. :crazy:
Those guys at that shop just don't know what they're dealing with. If they set up Yahoo auctions with those items they could make a lot of money.
But hey, I'm happy that you get all those deals. ;D And I hate you at the same time. >:( But in a good way! ;)
Now please find me a CIB copy of Chip 'n Dale 2 for 100 Yen or so and I'll send you self-made pretzels. :bub:

LOL, I am to please. I hope they NEVER look on Yahoo Auctions and realize how much this stuff is worth, my collection would come to a grinding halt if they did.
BTW, I picked up another amazing deal there today. I`ll be taking some pics and putting them up soon.
You could open your own store and make a lot of :coin: :coin: :coin: :coin: :coin: :coin: :coin: :coin: :coin: :coin: :coin: ;D
You must have junk stores like that around where you live too manual. Just go there every day like senseiman does ;)
People give their junk to those stores for almost nothing I suppose.
You know what they say: the things you think is junk may be worth alot, while the things you think is worth alot is worthless...
There are junk stores around me.
The only problem is, when they don't know how to price something, they price it high and not low like in senseiman's favorite store. :'(
And they don't put hings in the "junk" bins. They have a Master System that has been there for over 5 years and the price hasn't changed even once. (11800 Yen by the way.)
I visit my local shops once a week and only sometimes I make half-decent finds.
You just have to find the right store. :)
I won this today.
Finally I have the most treasured game boy (based on beauty at least)...

Nice lot.
When you say "won", is that on Yahoo auctions?
Well it isn't in a carnival. :) 8)
Notice the astro boy there? ;D ;)
You lucky son of a....
Erm...
Wow...that's a lot of extras.
Wow.
Luck, eh? It has taken me over a year to find one for a good price... :D Surprised to find it in a lot like this, I almost missed it. :star: Okay a little luck I suppose. :pow:
I hope it arrives safely. :-\
I will put it next to my Tezuka Osamu World Shop game boy. :D
Now I need to find an ANA.... very pretty too...
I've had the beautiful Sakura Wars and Cardcaptor before, in mint condition, but somehow I don't think they are so interesting. :question:

THIS SOUNDTRACK.

Sure, sold them about a year ago for around 55$ each, CIB.
I often see it them on Yahoo for around twice that, so it makes me regret my sale a little.
But it's okay, I had to sell it and interests probably isn't that big here.
Edit: let's see if I can get two images in here....
Those are absolutely lovely, FredJ. I would have gladly purchased them for 55 a piece had I have been there. Perhaps I'll keep an eye out for them.

Yesterday, I bought a Gameboy Light off of eBay; its the silver one. When it arrives in about a week Ill add a picture to this posting.
Dang, it has yet to arrive...
I sent an email to the seller, he said "Sorry, I just shipped it earlier today."
Sometimes sellers can be so obnoxious, he had it "Buy it now!" where you need to pay the moment you press buy. Yet, he doesn't even ship it til nearly 2 weeks after I pay.

Please don`t hate me, but 11,800 yen? This is a very funny coincidence because guess what I just picked up at Omocha Souko:
http://famicomblog.blogspot.com/2012/02/listening-to-wall-of-voodoo-and-writing.html
CIB and the console is in pristine condition.
I paid WAY less than 11,800 yen. Trust me, you really don`t want to know how little I paid. ;D
damn, thats sweet! Makes me feel ashamed how much i paid for my MarkIII xD I recommend tracking down an FM Sound Unit and an SMS to MarkIII Converter. Trust me, Galaxy Force with FM sound rocks hard*g

Nope, it was $15 shipping. It's coming from Japan but the price does seem a bit to high.
I had one once (Mark III ). It is a beautiful console. A bit rare almost. Not necessarily expensive if you are lucky though.
I think from a usability point of view, it is more useful to buy the US or European version because they have a larger game library. (or am I wrong?)

I could be wrong, but I think Europe has the largest game library. The Master System managed to last all the way to the mid-90s over here with ports of some earlier Mega Drive games being released on it.
the best configuration is if you get a japanese Master System or a Mark III with FM Sound Unit. Together with an EU/US to JP adaptor from Tototek it's the best way to play most of Sega's 8-Bit games. The japanese MS has FM Sound, the 3D adaptor and rapid fire built in. And there are some games with FM sound that never saw a japanese release like Galaxy Force or Wonder Boy- The Dragon's Curse .
I picked up a boxed Japanese Master System - I love it.
- Built in FM sound.
- Rapid fire
- Input for the 3D glasses so no need for an adapter, which means I can easily use other brands of glasses such as the Famicom or generic PC ones
- With an adapter it also plays standard Master System games
I recently grabbed a gold Gameboy light from Japan and shipping via SAL was $5 - it arrived in a week.
Japanese R-Type II for Gameboy!
The guy whom sold me my silver GB Light is including R-T 2 as a free bonus for my troubles. :-)
Yay!
This arrived for me today, won it with a $5 bid on YHJ.
(http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y189/fjs/DCKaraoke.jpg)
Pretty chuffed that it's complete, all bagged and in great condition. Something I've always wanted in my collection but not something I was willing to spend a lot of money on, so am glad I got a lucky deal.
Dreamcast: Wow amazing, how did you find it?
Also, R-Type II is a nice find too, quite rare. :)

Was searching YHJ for miscellaneous retro gear and stumbled across it, it had a 500Y opening bid with no current bids. Asked a friend to place a bid for me and won it. I'm fortunate enough to have a contact in Japan to help with this stuff, as paying for a proxy service kills the price and means you may as well just buy it from eBay.
That's amazing, I never find such things *that* cheap....
Here's what I won today. As a collector I needed Snoopy and Pocket Stadium...

Very nice find.
Quote from: ericj on February 17, 2012, 05:36:15 pm

No, I'm fairly sure that this particular unit was made pre-wii launch, so no motion plus.
If you could open your proto wii remote and take some pics of the internals that would be awesome,also Im waiting for L_E_T to chime in to give us exactly what this remote was used for.
I'll see if I have a tri-wing screwdriver...
Anyway, the guy who sold it to me says he thinks they came from Activision. Someone else who has an NDEV said there's a port on it labelled BT and accepts the kind of plug on the wire, and was for a wired bluetooth connection. It was apparently used for testing multiple remotes in a close range and prevented wireless interference.
Let me say that I'm 90% sure that this is a prototype. I don't think Nintendo would still be ordering parts for prototype hardware after the final design has been agreed on.

Sega Karaoke addon unit! Nice. There is one near a store near me but not in this great of condition. It has everything BUT the box. Not as clean though as yours. Definitely a nice find. Now get singing and put those vids up on youtube! haha
Yeah, the unit pictures above was probably never used.
Quote from: manuel on February 19, 2012, 04:20:08 pm

Probably not, as the software CD is still sealed as is the AV patch cable.
Unfortunately it probably never get used due to the online servers shutting down in 2006 - this device requires you to pay for a subscription service and download songs, it doesn't actually store any of this data locally either.
I doubt anyone will hack it and come up with an alternative solution as not many people have them and it would be hard to reverse engineer, due to the hardware not actually doing anything until instructed by the special SEGA server.
won this today. What to do with it?

I already have two.
Haha, I know those!
A store near me had about 30 of them in the bargain bin for 50 Yen and nobody bought them. ;D
Eventually they were gone, though. I wonder if they threw them on the trash...
They sold them to stupid people like me. Well, I should be able to sell them... I hope.
What exactly is it? Is it fun to use?
Yes I think so. You make strokes with that thing in battles.

Hmmm... Turn-based RPG sounds good. That's one of my favorite genres.
not sure exactly how "finds" works, because most of these are not really "finds" but just "stuff I bought from some people." But I was particularly excited about today's arrivals so I wanted to share with y'all.
(http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b296/nusilver/score.jpg)
The Famicom carts are TMNT 1 + 2, Getsu Fuu Ma Den, and Goonies (all from lobdale).
And one copy of Holy Diver from eBay.
The Gameboy carts are where the "finds" business comes in. Shantae on top, well, I paid what you'd expect to pay for that (and this is the second time I've purchased this game...I shouldn't have sold it before). However, chick this out:
Both Trip World and the German release of Pop 'n Twinbee cost me 8 Euro each, with shipping. I feel like that's some kind of all time greatest find. The labels are a bit faded and the carts are a bit dirty, but they both work great and I'm stoked to have a European Trip World in my collection. There are a few other good games in that pile too, but nothing worth mentioning.
Oh, and the Vita was a "gift" from work (I work for a Sony company). All told...today is a GREAT day for my collection. :)
All employees get a Vita as a gift? Neat! :o
hehe. no, just me, because i run the game content division here, and also i told my boss i needed to expense it. (it's actually related to what we do...i just can't talk about it, lol)
Ah, that makes sense!
Yes the EU Trip World can be found quite cheap if you are lucky, but you need to be lucky... of course we all need luck to make finds... The Japanese seems more rare, I have only seen it a few times.
I got this today, mostly junk but I hope Doom and Mario&Wario (mouse included!) will pay the expenses.. and the rest will be a surprise. I love surprises! :D

Yeah, it was funny. I was hoping to find a European copy and sent an email to a colleague in Berlin. I didn't actually expect him to find me a copy within 2 days of my email, nor did I expect it to be so cheap. So yes, definitely lucky. :pacman:
Awesome colleague you got there.
I scored 17 cib genesis games and a loose copy of ninja gaiden 2 from one of the mangers at my work today all for 43 bucks think it was a good deal?
That's a great deal at $2.39 per game!
There are some great games in the mix too, in fact they're pretty much all good games. Sometimes I see people posting about bargain bulk lots but all the games are crappy sports/puzzle games that no-one in their right mind would ever play.
Yeah he had a bunch of sports and puzzle games but I told he could keep those ones.

They arrived today!! HUZZAH!
Its fantastic!
What have they done to the shell? :o
I dunno, the two colors are perfectly flush, so maybe its a varient of the Light?
The rare "scribbled on all over with a pink marker" Game Boy Light...
Game Boy Light is rare? Crap, I had 2 and just sold one for $20. Well, I knew it was worth a little bit more but I like helping people out. Hate the nasty reselling side of this hobby.
Not very rare really, but why sell it for 20$? They don't always work well either, the back light often glitches. :'(
I think you have some custom case there. It's certainly rare, but I doubt it raises the price..... :D
I sold it for $20 as that is the price I obtained it for and I don't think it's worth much more than that. It's a 20 year old Game Boy, and not that rare. I realise that they usually sell for a bit more but personally I don't see the need for all these inflated prices. We, as collectors, should look after each other and fight the resellers. ;D
It was fully working with general wear and tear but still in good condition. This was the one I sold here:

Three strategy guides. (Rockman X, Legend of Starfy and Kirby 3)
Best thing of all was that the shop was having a sale, so everything above only cost about 1300 yen! (about £10 or $16)
That's nice. I love strategy guides.
Got what may have been my last truly great find at Omocha Souko before it closes the other day.
Toilet Kids for the PC Engine.
A vertical shooter that takes place in a toilet. You fight against poo. Despite the mediocre game play, I think it ranks as possibly the most brilliant thing my eyes have ever beheld:

Nope, Kai's uncut.
Are you talking about the awful orange bricks? God, that's terrible, but hey, it's the best since it's the only available for everyone since the Dragon Boxes Z were a Limited Edition product.
I also own the Dragon Boxes Z. ;D
I think by edited he means that some parts of the story (filler) were cut out to make it shorter.
I got me a second modded Sega Saturn the other day... for free. :) This one's going in the living room and will be used for fighting games only. :D
I like that. :D

They were pretty darn cheap and wanted them so I bough the German Imports' version instead of the UK I usually get.
Hehe, time to get Xbox LIVE GOLD to fucking piss the gamers off again. ;D
Picked up Kid Icarus Uprising today at Best Buy for only $30! While I can't comment about the game (because I... uhh... don't actually have a 3DS) I can say the packaging was done extremely well. Nintendo outdid themselves with this one.
http://techsquid.blogspot.com/2012/03/32512-find-sorry-to-keep-you-waiting.html
Why is that stuff so cheap over there? :o Nintendo is screwing their homeland! >:(
I think it was a best buy thing, not nintendo.
Still, Best Buy has to buy the games from Nintendo and in order to sell it for 30$ they'll most certainly acquire it for less than that.
Here in Japan amazon usually gives the biggest discounts. But even with a 20% discount the game still costs 4640 Yen here, that's about 56$, the MSRP being 5800 Yen or 70$. Americans have it really good in terms of prices for luxury items. :'(
I think it has to do with the US being the largest consumer market in the world. American retailers can demand lower prices and foreign companies can sell that low because the volume will be that much higher. Though I don't know how that would make sense in this case, seeing as Japanese video games sell outrageously large numbers in Japan. ???
They know that most Japanese games will pay whatever price they ask, so there's no need to make things cheaper. :'(
Japanese consumers are sheep that buy a DVD with 2 episodes of their favorite anime for 8000 Yen. :crazy:
Just for reference, 80% of Nintendo's sales are made in America. So that's <20% for Japan.
No wonder at such low prices!
I'd buy a lot more if prices were half of what they're now. :P

Yup. Was looking into purchasing the Japanese Great Mazinger DVD boxset.....too bad its $500 bucks. Kinnikuman boxset is $900.......and thats new right from the factory, not even out of print title inflation....
source for that 80% figure?
I wonder about Nintendo being "Japan's third most valuable listed company" (Wikipedia). So the mega-companies (whatever they are called) are not listed?
Wii sells as much in Europe as in the US. I can't find any recent number but "For the year 2010, sales of the Wii hardware jumped in Japan to 2.38 million from 2.06 million, but sales in the Americas fell drastically from 12.93 million to 9.86 million. In the EU and other nations, sales fell from 10.96 million to 8.30 million. "
Found one article, but I stand corrected. It's 80% overseas, not just America. http://www.usatoday.com/tech/news/story/2011-10-27/nintendo-earnings/50954118/1

I finally got a CIB Super Donkey Kong 2 (SFC) (a.k.a. Donkey Kong Country 2)! :gamer:
Was it hard to find? :P I think they are common.
My conditions were
1) it has to be CIB and
2) it has to cost about as much or less than I'm willing to pay.
I always had my eye on a copy for 800 Yen in a shop near me, but I like to pay less than 800 for used SFC games, so I waited to find it for around or under 500 Yen. ;D
got in mail today

80sFREAK sent me all the japanese stuff. The rest is from the UK and some GBA finds from a local second hand.
Nice.
Last night I dreamt I found some famicom games in a second-hand store. One of them was a game with the Hebereke characters I hadn't seen before.
Bubsy! Yeah, good memories!
Picked this up today. :)

I got an Atari Jaguar with a couple of games (Brutal Sports Football and Cybermorph) yesterday. ;D
That console is hideously cool! The defenite version of N64.

Like a poor-man's N64, I think you meant. ;)
Mind you, I can't imagine it sold many units in the UK, and by my understanding I think probably about 20 games were released over here.
Edit: Oh, I need to read through messages properly before I make replies. :-[
Nice Pokemon haul Fredj! I always kind of wanted a blue Pikachu N64.
Its orange?!?!? I am beyond jealous. I want to buy it so badly...
I think the orange Pikachu was a Japan only release. ???
I once sold a Daei Hawks N64 to a guy in Australia... There is some anniversary console too I think, that is rare.
Pursuit Force [PSP]
PSP Slim & Lite Crystal Protective Cover [PSP]
For my PSP Slim.
I regret selling my PSP Slim that I originally bought, but oh well.
I got a PocketStation for a cool 10 bucks. Now to use it with Final Fantasy VIII!
Package came in last Friday. I was out of town for most of the weekend, so I didn't get a chance to check out the stuff til tonight. Just finished unpacking, bagging and boxing. Mostly famicom stuff. Some ps2 and audio CDs.

that's great collection... were they expensive? did you pick them one by one? seem to be some decent action games.

Most of them were normal "market value", except for Time Zone. I already had it, but picked up this second copy because it was way below normal price. I guess I could use it for trades, etc.
Yeah I'd say 90% of them I got by individual auctions. Nothing too notable though. Already got all the heavy hitters on my list except one title.
.
Puzznic for the PS1. ;D
Got this...

They sell BNC to RCA adapters for about a buck a piece on Ebay. I use it for the composite input on my Sony PVM.
On my main unit, the RGB input is a 25 pin socket. I also have a smaller PVM model and I believe the RGB input there is a 9 or 15 pin connector.
.
Yeah they're all individual on this one. Ill just have to build a scart to 4 BNC connectors adaptor. The sync is derived from the composite video correct? I want to be able to use the snes scart cable.

Doesn't your model have a 5 BNC input for RGB (input 3)? Where sync needs to be split for H and V?
.
Yeah but the h input also accepts composite sync. I feel we are driving the thread off topic. Wanna continue the conversation via pm?

No there wasn't, haha! That's what's so cool about this custom job.
It's the famicom game made playable on a PC-Engine CD.
.
That's still awesome! ;D
Last weekends trip to the local trash and treasure markets i picked up some nifty stuff! Best score was the GBA for $3 the guy said that the lights came on when it's turned on but thats all and that it needed a lube job! I really had to bite my tongue not to laugh at that though and after taking it apart and giving it a good clean down with some magic computer booze! I also picked up some lovely vintage barbies for awesomely cheap (One of my only girly hobbies!)
Then during the week i got magical packages from japan from Senseiman, 80'sFreak and Manuel but i haven't had much time to play with them mainly because i've been having issues making the tv and the Famicom play nice with eachother!
Hope this counts as a find!! It's certainly a gem in my eyes:

Some GB games and a Konami Hyper Boy

A Sony HitBit F1XV MSX2+. I always wanted an MSX since i played Nemesis/Gradius 2 in the Salamander Portable Collection.
Any recommendations what i need to get the most out of it?
Too bad that most Konami games are worth their weight in gold :-[
But i still thinking about getting Gradius2 too.
@Stealthlurker: Nice, a Hyperboy :D It's very cool accessory, only disadvantage is the missing option for an external PSU. I love it's speakers
@derZocker
Thanks, yeah it seems a lot of the old devices relied purely on batteries.
Yeah I noticed that a lot of MSX games, even in Japan are pretty pricey. The do have some gorgeous box art though. Lots of overlap with famicom titles... even the same cover art but larger.

Some stuff that came in yesterday and today. Most notable is this crazy little 8bit fami to NES controller y-adapter from Venezuela!
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v337/jviloria/IMG_0335.jpg)
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v337/jviloria/IMG_0338.jpg)
.
Venezuela you say? Looks like we have the same NES to FC pad adaptor*g Should be the guy where i got TopRider from
What's the GB game there?
eightiesvault on ebay? I just picked up a sick 72-60 pin adapter that works with euro games as well for pretty cheap.
what country are those Fist of the Northstar DVDs from? complete series? how many discs? what company released them? are they newer or old release? Sorry for all the questions but Im looking for the best possible quality set of this series...
@DerZocker The GB game is a platformer known as P-Man. I have it on Super Famicom and thought it was pretty good.
@Parodius Yeah I believe it is eightiesvault
These DVDs are the official US releases. There are 4 volumes out right now with a chunk of episodes on each. I already have the first 2 volumes. They release a new volume every couple of months. The older volumes might already be sold out on Amazon (I got all of them from there).
They're the original 80s TV show not the new episodes that came out not too long ago. I believe this release is supposed to be "cleaned up" PQ wise but I'm not sure. Haven't watched any of them yet, still got a backlog of other things. I just wanted to get them before they sold out. I'm thinking these have a small print run.
I'm glad they finally released the original series on DVD here. For years I've had a Hong Kong bootleg set of HNK 1 & 2. The official japanese box set is $1,000 USD and has no subtitles.

Some of my 1$ games were quite alright actually, I just had a bunch of them.
;D
(http://i46.tinypic.com/6rng5j.jpg)
See, you make finds too. :D
Of an overrated game, in my opinion, that you can sell for way too much, lol...
Basically every game boy request I get contains this game. ???
X: "Hello, I would like to buy from you Recca '92, Rendering Ranger, Trip World, and Gimmick, do you have them? "
X: "Also, I want to pay max 50$. And I prefer complete games. "
Me: "Of course, my place is overcrowded with such games"
Yea, I get such inquiries, too. ;D
I don't know if I'll sell it just yet, though. Maybe if a good enough offer comes in.
The game may be overrated a bit, but it really plays nicely.

Well you have to check out if they are scratched or not. That's how you can tell if they will work. I've bought some really scratched up CDs in the past but was able to make them fun. It's great to be back ^_^

My Megaflashrom SCC and YS III arrived yesterday. It sucks that i'm still waiting for new drivebelt, i really want to play Ys. And i need an FDD to use the Flashcarts full potential. Good thing there are some demo roms on it. Tetris and a Knightlore2 remake for example^^
And this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9Bc_ldZZGE) little gem, too
The content of the Ys III box is great. Several flyers, a mousepad, cards with artworks, and a hardcover book as manual. Although time wasn't too kind to some of it, it's still very cool.

Sucky Game Gears always fail. :(
Yeah I can't tell you how many times I've bought a Game Gear as is to find out they don't work. I'm still looking for that one that works... one day..
Bust-a-Move 2 and Carmageddon on the PS1. Nothing special but two games that are definitely worth playing. ;)

Awesome score FF, digging that Korean DKC 2!!!!
Picked up a VMU and a GameShark Pro at Play N Trade.
I just got Final Fantasy XIII-2.
Picked up a 3rd Sony PVM RGB monitor locally for 40 bucks.

.
today I picked up a Sears' Tele-Game console! For those not familiar with the product, it is an early 2600 that was branded and sold by Sears in the late 70s(6 switcher) and a remodel in 1980 (4 switcher)
Wiki article on the Tele-Game:
Sears Tele-Games 2600s
Early Atari 2600 that was branded "Tele-Games" and sold by Sears
Atari Inc. also continued their OEM relationship with Sears under the latter's Tele-Games brand label, which started in 1975 with the original Pong. Sears released several versions of the 2600 as the Sears Video Arcade series from 1977 to 1983. These include the Rev. A "Heavy Sixer" model in 1977, the Rev. B "4 switch" model in 1980, and the US version of the Atari 2800 branded as the Sears Video Arcade II in 1983
(sorry about the bad quality images. didn't have anything better on hand)
but not just that; I got the probably more rare storage center with it!

A closer up of the console (notice the 6 switches)

Even got most of the manuals in good condition to go along with the games!

how much did I pay for all this?

I hope it works, and that it's worth something.

Nice score, I like how the sears versions have that classy looking walnut design on the front. What you have there is a light sixer and not a heavy sixer, but ya' can't complain for free, though! :)
Here's an example of a heavy sixer:
(http://www.gamasutra.com/db_area/images/feature/3551/atari_16.jpg)
Notice the very thick border around the base and edge of the console. Also these suckers weigh a ton, thus where the terms heavy/light came from.

Won a second Saturn hss-0130 arcade stick. Now I got 2 of these bad boys. This one's boxed. Best stick for the Saturn (imho)... basically looks like the panel of a SEGA Astro City arcade machine that's been cut off and modded for console.

Finally found me a cheap CIB "Tales of Phantasia" (SFC). ;D

I was never fortunate enough to own a Tomy handheld when I was a kid, but I remember REALLY wanting one. I think around Christmas of 1982 or 1983 I had a catalog with a bunch of them in it which formed the inspiration for much of my wish list sent to Santa. Now 30 years later I finally got one ;D

That's right it was through Tomy. I remember I traded quite a few Garbage Pail Kids to get it, haha. Congrats! I wouldn't mind re-acquiring the tabletop Galaxian by Coleco or something myself.

All I can say is epic!
Thanks FF!
Stealth - Ah, Garbage Pail Kids! I used to collect those as a kid too, I remember having a fistful of them (mostly 3rd-6th series) that I would take to school with me every day to trade. I never got anything other than more Garbage Pail Kids for them though, a Pac man machine would have required way more cards than I had!

Price + shipping = $112.54
I am so glad I finally was able to acquire one for a resonable price but now I am ultra-ultra broke, I tapped into my savings account which I probably shouldn't be doing but I wanted one so badly.
Games are:
Mario's Tennis,
Wario Land,
Golf,
Vertical Force,
Red Alarm
Nice VB!
I'm on the hunt for one myself but like you do not want to pay too much for a system that I will hardly play.
I have been bidding on ebay for awhile now, and watched one after the other go to the other guy bidding, so I went all in this time.
I am only missing 2 of the other awesome games for virtual boy, Mario Clash and Teleroboxer.
And yes, for the gaming everyone needs a Virtual Boy as some of the games on it are ultra great.
But anyways, how was my pricing? Did I do pretty well?
Good price.
It works with no problem?
It's described as perfect and flawless with a 14 day money back guarantee.
Nice VB! I actually like the system... as long as you don't play it too long, haha.
Quite a coincidence that you got one recently. I was cleaning out my garage today and found this old Blockbuster rental VB (my first VB system). I got it for $30 when Blockbuster was getting rid of them. Granted that was about 10+ years ago I believe.

Out of interest, why get both? I'd be happy with just one. :)
P.s. I missed it before but nice rental VB also.
Funny how prices have changed. I remember the 32X being cleared out for $30 from major department stores when it failed.
Virtual Boy was to ahead of its time but with people now interested in 3DS, new interest and collectability had sprung itself into Virtual Boy. Thank you, Gunpei Yokoi for imagining and designing one of the most creative pieces of videogame equipment ever!
Also people sell just the virtual Boy carrying case for $40 on eBay and a loose Virtual Boy without games sells for $60-70. So yea, your $30 investment is about $100+.
Rest in Peace, Gunpei Yokoi
I would honestly describe the game value to be like 40 hours max. The thing is better NOT using, than using.... :-\ I mean it looks cool.

Exactly why I refuse to spend big money on one. If I can't track one down at a low cost then I'm happy to leave it out of my collection, I'm much more of a player than a hoarder anyway.

In terms of "collection" purposes, for the past few years I've been focusing on japanese versions of games/systems.
.
Nope, thats not the one I am talking about one was blockbuster yesterday and it was listed $40 buy it now. There is also a ultra inflated one listed but thats been relisted over and over and wont ever sell.
Also if you have the right games, you can infinitely enjoy Virtual Boy. Wario Land is 40 hours+ fun all on its own, its like original SMB... you can play it time and time again and still have fun. Red Alarm, Panic Bomber, Teleroboxer, Vertical Force, Mario's Tennis, Mario Clash, Golf and Jack Bros. also give you many hours.
Unfortunately, there are also duds on VB like Water World, Baseball, Galactic Pinball, Tetris, and Nester's Funky Bowling.
Then theres games, that I have never looked up or anything such as Virtual Bowling, Space Squash, Space Invaders, SD Gundam Dimension War, Innsmouth no Yakata, Virtual Fishing, and Virtual Lab
Honestly, its all in the games you like. If you truly enjoy VB games, like most people whom own one then you will never truly stop enjoying it.
I can do repairs on the display if you need.
i made a virtual boy flash cart too so all the expensive titles are one order from jameco away.
That peaked my interest Famiac, I messaged you.

How much did the SG-1000 run you fredj?
They are like Sega's version of Atari 2600.
It wasn't that much actually. Around half of what I expected, and not too different from your VB.
I read up on the SG1000 and while they are hard to find, they haven't really been considered collectors items, because the second version is superior. But they have become very hard to find, unless you are lucky.
That's how it is with many of these earlier consoles, such as TV-games from the 1970s, Epoch, Intellivision, Pong, Bandai stuff. Can be hard to find, but not necessarily expensive. Interesting, no?
Personally I would prefer these cheap, good looking, fun stuff rather than boring expensive collectors item. :D
True, everyone collects certain things; I personally wouldn't have any use for SG-1000 as I already own Atari 2600. But yea, it's cool looking.
VB isn't just a collectors piece though, it's also a interesting gimmicky gaming system with a good handful of fun games and numerous homebrew games that can be play on Flash carts.
Virtual Mario Land
Mario Kart Virtual Cup
BLOX
BLOX 2
SIMON
Yeti3D
And many many more, most of which are better then games that were officially released. So don't count VB out just yet, it's homebrew scene is big!
Oh, I love the Virtual Boy, for sure. I have one and have two more on their way. As long as I don't play on it. :crazy:
It is Game & Watch I don't like. :P

Did it come with any games or the console box too?

Nope nothing, but it was cheap so I'm happy... :) I may have bought some compatible games already. ???

The SG-1000 II is actually relatively affordable though. I have one boxed on the way soon.

No box is fine, I pick up loose consoles too if the price is just too good to pass up. I also only get boxed consoles if the price seems good or below normal market value.
You have might have compatible games already? lol, sounds very much like a collector to have so much stuff they're not sure.
The SG-1000 II is a cool looking machine. I like SEGA's retro styling. It captures the modern look better than some of the other consoles of its time.

But the Mark III console has the same design actually.

it's too hard to comment on these consoles, for example I don't believe I will ever see one of these on my own eyes. I would love though, see and own.

Awesome, aside from the authentic "Mr. Do!'s Castle" those look like PAL Atari pirates. Do they play on an NTSC console?
Those are Canadian Sears/Zellers (?) carts as far as I know, I heard they were all rip offs of other popular titles, and were made to work in the regular Atari consoles.
@ stealthlurker - Those Saturn arcade sticks look incredible, it would be neat to snag one to modify my Neo 29, since I'm not too keen on making a new control panel wired for 6 button CPS2 titles I have. :)
I also have that Disk-kun shirt. It's awesome
People in game stores always look when I wear it. ;D
@fredj: That reminds me of the several Mark III games I still wanted to get. ^^ Also, i still want a SC-3000 (the homecomputer-variant) or better, the addon-keyboard released for SG-1000 II and Mark III, but while there are several cheap SC-3000 around, i've never seen the keyboard on ebay or anywhere

Only 99 SEK (about $14) too! :D
Does finding stuff in storage that you forgot you had or didn't know you still had count? lol
I mostly collect import gaming stuff these days, however I was cleaning out the garage last weekend and found some US SNES stuff!
Two bins full of boxed SNES games. They were even in clear box protectors:

Also found a boxed SNES console
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v337/jviloria/SNES/547463_470238902989413_872007984_n.jpg)
Found a bunch of other gaming related stuff I totally forgot I had (might of even re-purchased because of it, lol), but these were the most shocking. I thought all my US SNES was long gone... or just bits and pieces as loose carts at my parents house.
.
My Virtual Boy arrived today, to my shock it came with Manuals for all of the games with the exception of Red Alarm. But even still that was a fantastic bonus that I wasn't expecting.
Also it works perfectly (I tested every single game), and that is absolutely fantastic!
I am now excited for my Flashboy+ and wall plug piece and adapter to come in the mail! Then eventually Teleroboxer and Mario Clash because even though I have a Flash cart on the way its important for me to have most of the good carts as I am a collector.
Got my PSP fat at Gamestop of all places.
I picked up a Sega SG-1000 game, Hero. It is the first Sega My Card that I`ve ever gotten, I really love the boxes they come with:
http://famicomblog.blogspot.jp/2012/07/sega-my-card-hero.html
Good deal at 500 Yen.
A place near me has games too, but all of them cost either 980 or 1480 Yen. :/
Sometimes they have half-off sales, though.
I love the SEGA card games, I have a few of the Mark III ones as well as the card catcher device. The card catcher even works when inserted into my Japanese Master System cart slot, which is completely pointless as the console has it's own dedicated card slot but interesting nonetheless.
Yeah, they really are great aren`t they?
I have one of those card readers too, I just bought it last year because it was cheap but haven`t found an actual use for it yet ;D
Indeed they are very cool, only wish there were more of them. It's one of the reasons I love the PC Engine, those HuCard games are damn sexy!
Re the card catcher, I bought mine cheap from YHJ, it was 500y boxed and complete (even had the baggie) with manual - doesn't even look like its been used. To buy it here via eBay would have set me back at least $40, funny how prices fluctuate pending country. Anyhow, the reason I bought mine was to use it with my SC-3000, this only has a cart slot so the card catcher is needed here. Another use for it would be with the SG-1000 II which also lacks a card slot.
In the end though, I do all my Master System gaming on my Japanese console. It would be nice to have things like the Mark III etc, but it's just too expensive to get hold of one. I got the SC-3000 as even though the games work on the Master System, they display slightly differently due to the colour palette.

Oh that's a Hucard! I always thought HuCard is this: :crazy:
(http://jpx72.detailne.sk/stuff_files/fc/carts_original_files/Nuts%20&%20Milk.jpg)
Thats a HUcart, not a HUcard!! ;D
Frank - funny, I paid the same for my card catcher CIB! I have an SG 1000 II as well so I guess I can use it on that, I`ve just been using my Mark III since it is easier. Kind of a neat little thing to have though!
Do you have the FM expansion for your Mark III? Very interesting to hear the difference in sound on many games when played with the FM sound chip.
Quote from: Frank_fjs on July 12, 2012, 06:58:16 pm
Very interesting to hear the difference in sound on many games when played with the FM sound chip.
I have the SMS (J) model 1 with built in FM sound and the sound is awesome! I was really amazed of the difference. I wonder why the EU/US version was left without it.
I wonder why the rest of the world had to miss out on the FM chip too, especially given the systems popularity in most PAL regions.
Most FM games feel like half a console generation higher just because of the music. The real shame is that all the latter SMS games that pushed the system to its limits had to work with the lame PSG that can't even quite catch up with the graphics. I'd love to have FM-Sound in games like G-Loc, Sonic Chaos, GP-Rider or Deep Duck Trouble.
Today, I picked up locally another Virtual Boy battery and Teleroboxer with manual for $20.
I have finally completed my order for a FlashBoy+ flash cartridge for my Virtual Boy, so that should arrive in a week.
Steel Diver (3DS) for $5 on Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Steel-Diver-Nintendo-3DS/dp/B002I08VXI/) :D
Wow! For 5$ even I might get it. Great deal!
My newest game isn't a find, really. I just downloaded New Super Mario Bros. 2. It's awesome so far. :gamer:
I was able to buy this today.
(http://img52.imageshack.us/img52/7933/gblh.jpg)
Toys 'R Us exclusive.
I'll belive it when I get it.
Lucky! :o I've always kind of wanted a GBL. That color is definitely the coolest I've seen.
Edit: Which is why I have a GBP that's close to that color! I never realized how similar the insides were. :P

Man... it is times like these that I hate only owning an American 3DS.
Fred that GBL is indeed rare and exclusive. I'd love to make you an offer if/when you get bored with it. I have a nice Gold and Silver I use a lot.
Considered picking up the Tezuka ones but they're expensive and therefore wouldn't get used.
This one is for my own collection, not for sale...
I have the Tezuka ones already.. missing Pokemon and Skeleton...
I think the Tezuka ones look the best. Astro Boy being slightly nicer. :)
Being limited to 5000 copies, the skeleton has been too expensive when I've seen it. It's more of a collectors item.
And the box is silly, so I'd rather pay less to have it loose. Or buy it NIB, open it, and put away the box somewhere... seriously..
Have you actually found use for your GBL? That's nice to hear, i don't have any use for them other than curiosity.
The "Super Arcade 96 Shotting 8 in 1" for the Mega Drive, or Ultra Arcade '96 Shooting 8 in 1 if the menu's to be believed. :P

Stuff that came in last week and over the weekend. PS3 Macross LE 30th Anniversary Box (game, DYRL movie bluray and other stuff), Totoro Bluray, Dreamcast Gunlord and some famicom pirates (Super Shinobi 2 port, Zen Intergalatic Ninja, Another Jackal, Kickmaster, Joe & Mac, Last Action Hero).

The awesomeness of the new Macross goods that just came out. DYRL and Macross Flasback on blu-ray. The game and other stuff is just icing.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v337/jviloria/July2.jpg)
The legendary Totoro finally on blu-ray. The first Ghibli movie I've ever seen and by far my favorite.

Found a cart only copy of GG Aleste for the Game Gear in a second hand shop today. Was only 100 yen :D
Just need a game gear to play it on now...
A hard-fought bidding war on Yahoo Auctions netted me this baby:

Sweet Nintendo lego!!
Got some brand new SFC games:
(http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii47/L___E___T/1f470098.jpg)
Some loose carts:
(http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii47/L___E___T/12082cbe.jpg)
and a Gameboy CIB I've been looking for, for aaaaages:

(http://v1.iimmgg.com/images/is14gr/553c49a915f424d978ce948e9a8dc8ac.jpg)
It came with all the cables including the multi out cable, and 2 controllers. ;D
L___E___T: I got a NP cart yesterday too! It contained Earth Light Lunar Strike.
Nice Gremlin 2 box.
btw, also received this lovely

That gameboy looks insanely awesome....
Oh it's the ANA version - I always liked those!
Transparent cases are awesome.
I wish there was a transparent 3DS.
I think it should be required that Nintendo releases every one of their consoles (both home and handheld) in transparent cases. No doubt those would be the most popular. The only console they got right was the first one they had in color- the N64.
The translucent cases aren't my favourite, but the gameboys look nice that's for sure.
I also grabbed these Super Famicom goodies:
(http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii47/L___E___T/0aa9f64b.jpg)
Boxes a little tatty but they were cheap.
I bought a mint condition boxed Panic Bomber as well as a mint condition boxed Wario Land; both for Virtual Boy.
The music in Warioland is so good... Nice finds!
I already owned the games but the price was right, $47 shipped for the 2. :)
Epoch TV Vader:
http://famicomblog.blogspot.jp/2012/08/yahoo-auction-treasures-epoch-tv-vader.html
1980 release, CIB. Totally love it.
Got this little awesome thingy:
(http://img259.imageshack.us/img259/9687/040820121890.jpg)
Works and has those neat controllers (http://www.modojo.com/media/features/90/boxing.gif)!
Anyone collecting these? Thinking about letting it go for a serious collector...
190 in 1 Gameboy Advance Multicart, with mostly Pokemon! :)
Metroid: Other M (Wii, new) - 5.00
Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation x2 (DS, new) - 14.82 for both (I've spent 250 hours on my file, it doesn't hurt to have back-ups in case my cart stops working!)
For the big Shaider fan in me, the ps2 game. I'm also a fan of the platforming Crayon Shinchan games on the DS, so this "bonk-ified" looking Crayon Shinchan looked really interesting.

Nice, it made me smile. ;D
I prefer Crayon S-C over Pc Genjin...
Are DS games expensive in Japan? People ask me for them but I can't find them cheap. Do you buy them New from a retailer?
Pink GBA SP AGS-101
I only wanted it for the collectibility otherwise I would have bought a AGS-001 locally for $15.
I scored Conkers Bad Fur Day for $5.30. Fuck yesssssssssssss.
Also got boxed tengen pac man and swordquest fireworld for $8.
Got this a couple weeks ago now but haven't had time to post a pic... I'm actually well stoked on the Wii... late to the party as always :P
(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d198/GARYPTASZEK/IMG-20120804-00002.jpg)
Got a couple more games since this was taken, Bully, Goldeneye and Madworld.
I found a Game Boy I didn't have... :)

Still missing Blue!
Wow... White gameboy looks awesome.
(http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u68/Evil_Vlad/GameWatch.png)
Today I bought Gameboy Gallery which is different then any of the Game & Watch games released in the states or Japan. I found out about it one day when I was looking to see if I needed to buy anymore carts to complete my collection. Europe called the G&W series Gameboy Gallery but their first game was a different cart then what we received, with an entirely different set of games so they have 7 G&W carts while we have 6.
I now own:
Gameboy Gallery (GB)
Game & Watch Gallery (GB)
Game & Watch Gallery 2(GBC)
Game & Watch Gallery 3 (GBC)
Game & Watch Gallery 4 (GBA)
I still need to buy:
Game & Watch Collection (DS)
Game & Watch Collection 2 (DS)
If I remember it right GameBoy Gallery came a few years before the first G&W Gallery. I think it was advertised in the second half of the DKC VHS.
I got a few VC games over the last days.
Sin & Punishment - Space Harrier on crack, aweome!
F-Zero X - already have the original, but damn, it's F-Zero X :D
Chrono Trigger - It feels so much better to play the game on a Nintendo console with an SNES classic controller than in an emulator
BTW Are there any WiiWare games worth getting besides the Konami Rebirth games (why aren't we getting more of them :'( )
Yup, but it also contains G&W games; I call G&W Gallery Zero! It's a worthwhile purchase to complete a G&W cart collection.
Big black box :)

Niiiice. How's the drivebelt? I hope it's new and not like the britlle crumbs I peeled out of mine :-[
That reminds me that I still wanted to expand my MSX's RAM and that I still need a bunch of DD disks.
I got Mario Sunshine a few days ago, here's some copypasta from hg101 cause I'm to lazy to write anything new^^
It's incredible how good this game looks, even after 10 years (I can hardly believe that it's already this old) Even today there aren't many games with water this beautiful. It's really fun to jump around and hover with the FLUDD and it's more like SM64 than Galaxy, which is a big plus for me.
The Subspace levels are quite fun, but man are they difficult and i haven't even tried a red coin challenge there. xD
But how they could mess up the up the underwater-controls so badly goes over my head, especially when Mario controls almost perfect all the other time.
Upgraded my handhelds ^_^

That's some serious cash!
Picked up Time Splitters 2, Rayman 3, XBOX Magazine Demo disk, and an 80's TV set for $2.
A big haul of stuff came in last week... Been letting these build up at the proxy service warehouse.
Was finally a decent enough amount to issue the shipment request. Saves a little bit on shipping when
I bulk it out a bit.

GB Momotaro 1 & 2. Really nice action platformers unlike the crappy board games on other platforms.

Holy mother of God stealthlurker, that is a sensational haul!
Way too much stuff for me to comment on in depth, but am loving the Hudson gear plus the Sega and PC Engine reading material. I've actually seen some of those PCE magazines on the internet by people who have scanned them.
That's sick man!!!! Love the Saturn arcade joystick, you can readily build an arcade cabinet with that! (what are you goint to do with the unboxed one? $$$)
I want that mario record... So badly...
Quite a lot of GB games I don't have. :( Nice to see them though. Very nice to see you focused on the good games, even the lesser known ones. Rubble Saver and "The SD game (top left)" are two of my favourite game boy games, as it happens.
I am missing boxed Rockman World 2 and 4. :'( Need to resume that IT education...
You even got Snow Bros... :-\
Yea, there are a couple of very well made Momotaro games for different systems, but they get lost in the unplayable junk that most Momotaro games are.
And yes, Ys has some amazing artwork.
I actually buy them for that reason, but customers don't like them as much as I do, LOL. They want Zelda, but what's the difference?

Well I have a couple of setups around the house. The next time I host a fighting game or shmup night I can have 2 stations each with one of those. I've got some adapters so they can also be used on other systems.

That's what I love about the original GB, there are so many lesser known titles to explore. That GB book should help. Sometimes it's hard to find any information about certain games.
Wow! What are the other good Momotaro games? Prior to these GB ones, all the other ones I've seen seem to be board games.
Ys is great, unfortunately not too many people grew up with Ys. Most people know Zelda because so many people were exposed to it like mario. Here in the states, Ys was introduced via the Turbografx-16 which did not do too well to begin with... also you needed the expensive cd-rom drive add-on.

Thanks for the info.
The best known Momotaro game is the action game for Pc Engine. There's also a decent RPG on SFC, and I think they have some newer on the DS...? Not sure.
That Mario record, a few Game Boy games, and especially that Bomberman Game Boy thing with the tin are the things that stuck out at me and I'm totally jealous of. Especailly that Bomberman thing! :o Nice haul!

Where'd you get those cart repros and are the Famicom or NES format? Also, seeing your laserdiscs, there is a channel on YouTube that puts up old videos and laserdiscs like that called RetroRealityGaming. I'm sure they'd be interested if you can convert them to a video file or something.....

I got them from Yahoo Japan auctions. They're famicom format.
Oh I know the guy who does the Retro Reality channel. He's even made custom posters for me before.
.
Cool! Next time you talk to him, be sure to send him my thanks for an awesome channel. I'm a VERY happy subscriber of his!
Some stuff that came in the mail yesterday. Aquapazza 2d fighting game for PS3, SCART to BNC RGBs cable and a K1 GBA (arguably the best GBA clone to date thus far). Also swung by Book Off yesterday during lunch and picked up Gundam Musou 2 PS2 and Superlite series Strikers 1945 II for PS1.

Yup. Unfortunately there's no hard-off here in the states. Also the pickins for "good" import games at book-off here in the states is pretty slim. But it's better than nothing. It's the only brick and mortar left that I know of that sells retro imports. Even the cool import shops in LA's Little Tokyo district have all closed shop.
.
Yeah, same company.
There's also Hobby-Off (for hobby items like fishing rods and stuff) and Off-House (I think clothes and the like) and one I don't remember right now...

The only import stores we have in my area are Digital Press in Clifton(mostly PS1 and Saturn imports, but get in Famicom carts once in a blue moon) and Video Games NY on the Upper West Side.
But I DID get a nice find to share:
I bought Doki Doki Panic for $52 complete from my usual source(Game of Japan aka hit-japan on eBay). I was just happy to have a complete copy of the game. I didn't care if the sticker was there or not especially the sticker being rare. So, I thumb through the manual and guess what? The sticker was in the manual! It was used as a bookmark of sorts. So, it was complete complete.
Copies complete with sticker go for $90-100 and I got mine for $52. Awesomeness. I DID take a picture, but I have to see if I can upload it to a photo site. As soon as this damn tooth on mine calms down....

bought last night. I had this game on a burned disc long enough, but I finally want to have the original.No matter how bad its US boxart may be^^ Also now I have a motivation to get out my PCE Duo again

I hadn't even seen the sticker before. Doki Doki Panic is a bit uncommon to find boxed (not rare, but uncommon). Nice find.
Some stuff that came in last week and today...
Hori joystick carrying bag. Big enough for the huge Hori Vewlix stick. Super Famicom laserdisc and SF anniversary w/ megaman lanyard.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v337/jviloria/IMG_0761.jpg)
Ether Vapor Remaster and latest Shooting Gameside book. . Also some Korean PC games, including a funky MAME pirate looking thing of Esprade (funky novelty I suppose).

Very cool nonetheless. :o

Laserdiscs have the same 12" jacket as LPs, and the discs themselves are 12". So yeah they look almost identical.
Yup it's a laserdisc. I believe I stated that in my post.
There are 3 in that particular series. One for megadrive, super famicom and pc-engine. Got the pc-engine LD coming in the mail.
On a side note, this morning I happened to win TWO Wondermegas! Bringing my total now to three.
Won a boxed Victor Wondermega (soon to replace my loose one) and a loose SEGA Wondermega. Next going to shoot for a boxed SEGA one and a third gen Victor.

I might sell my loose ones once I've got all of them boxed.
If you count the US JVC X'Eye, you could say I have 4 since the X'Eye is the US version of the japanese version 3 Wondermega, haha.
.
Yeah, the US one is ugly so to make myself feel better I'm not going to count that one as part of your stash. :)
The PAL Multimega is decent looking but I'd rather have all the bling of the Wondermega.
I prefer the original JP Sega model, but wouldn't turn down a Victor one.
You mention a V3 JP Wondermega, how many versions are there (Japanese ones only)? I'm only familiar with the original Sega one and the later Victor one.
The 3rd gen japanese Wondermega is pretty much the X'Eye, however it has a built-in IR in the front because it uses wireless controllers.
I believe it's called the Wondermega-M2

I had to buy it and it's wonderful! A Korean version with production date 1997. Well at least the label says so :)
Anyway it's mint and I don't know if I should open it :crazy:

This is my loot
(http://share.cherrytree.at/showfile-7903/comic_action.jpg)
Highlights are Robo Pit for Saturn, a Mega CD book (They still had so much faith in the hardware at that time^^) and Captain Picard airbrushed on the back of my cellphone.
I got this:
(http://i50.tinypic.com/ou44yu.jpg)
It is used in old AT pcs that don't have ps2 ports. You connect it to the serial port and the at keyboard one and it provides 2 ps2 ports for keyboard and mouse. The keyboard one is just a passthrough but the mouse one is great since you need an IC to convert through protocols. It will serve me well in my 386DX machine ;D

LOL awesome!
I have that Konami Games Guide, too!
It's awesome!
Indeed, it teached me the Konami code at an early age^^
Mine is the german version, but I suppose the contents are the same.
BTW I played Robo Pit. Though it is more or less only a tournament mode, it's really a great feeling to train your mechs and see how they beat up the opponent in auto-fight, once they're strong enough.
Haha, ich hab auch die deutsche Version. (Gibts da überhaupt eine englische oder andere?)
Hab alle meine Bücher/Zeitschriften leider in Deutschland gelassen. :'( Und das Schicken per Post ist so teuer... :-[
Goodwill finds.

Been stocking up on PC Engine gear of late, really enjoy the games on this system, Anyone else here a PCE nut?

Yeah, I'm going to start selling very soon. I have to test and check all these things. I also have some more stuff gaming related in store ^_^
Nice PCE stuff, how much did you pay for the Express? I've seen a Turbo Express at the Comic Action last week, but it was about 300€. Waaay too much, especially for an US one. I really need an RGB mod too. As mine hangs on our LCD TV most of the time, it would really help the picture quality.
I've got this for my birthday :D

I don't think it's as bad as everybody says, though moving in an iso-perpective sucks as hard as it does in Landstalker^^'

Was a bit over 3 bucks at the goodwill,it didn't come with a controller but my genesis one works a treat. (http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y101/pikkonson/20121026123736-1.jpg)
I plundered the PSN store and got Nights HD, Alundra and Tomba.
Why can't the SonicAdventure 1 & 2 ports be this good?
got Punch Out for Wii, it's awesome!
Stuff that arrived in the mail this week. Also picked up another Wii today at a pawn shop (black Wii, complete in box for 80 bucks). Plan to softmod it and keep it dedicated on an RGB CRT (ordered a SCART cable today).
Gradius 2 poster, a bunch of cables, some PC REs, boxed Gameboy, some "special" megadrive games, Arcadie for iPhone, 8-bitty and Blu-rays. Stoked about KILLER KLOWNS FROM OUTER SPACE, Pet Cemetery, E.T. and Judge Dredd.

Second CIB GB Contra Spirits... this one's in excellent condition with no sun fade. Unlike my sunfaded to hell other copy. Also a pretty rare CIB Ninja Spirit GB. Accidentally picked up a loose Ninja Spirit earlier this year thinking it was boxed... but finally got this one.

Some of the Megadrive games that arrived. Doctored up some pics via iPhone insta-collage.

The tiniest 1943 Kai, Rastan, Yie Ar Kung Fu, etc arcade machine you'll ever see... haha
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v337/jviloria/Arcadie/arc2.jpg)
Size comparison of the iPad based iCade vs the iPhone based Arcadie. I thought the iCade was tiny compared to my bartop arcade machines... the Arcadie is miniscule!
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v337/jviloria/Arcadie/arc1.jpg)
.
Gameboy Contra is top notch - one of my favorite portables games of all time.
Also, I notice that someone else here is a Neo Geo fan ;)
Nice finds! I'm also looking for a mint CIB Ninja Spirit but can't find one.
How much is a going price for one?
Some like new CIB games I had my eye on have been going for crazy money lately, like $100+

Well yeah... CIB GB Ninja Spirit is very hard to find and is going to over a hundred easy. I've been searching Japan for one for a while now.
If you're talking about the PC-Engine version shouldn't be hard to find and should be way below 100. Where have you been looking?
.
Finally scored a GBA AGS-101,man the screen is awesome,it was only 10 bucks at my local goodwill and plus came with Mario Kart ;D

Stealthlurker - I was just looking on eBay, not very hard I might add :)
Pikkon - That GBA looks so nice, I must get one of those, though I like the dimmer one for gaming at night.

So, here's my find, I made a new label for my Rockman collection on Gameboy. Also switched the shell to an official one.
I have some leftover labels from this I'm happy to send out to friends, shoot me a PM if you want one.
Thanks L___E___T,also swapped the guts out to my Nes GBA,now it's complete.

That's an excellent swap job. Looks great! Were there any tricky parts where you had to pay extra care? I like to try that w/ my 101 on my NES or Fami SP.
.
The only tricky part for me was the ribbon cable that connects to the motherboard,you just have to be extra careful and push the tabs down to release,other than it was fun to do.
I followed this guide.

Friend of mine dropped off another Sony PVM for me. Takes the total to 4! Got a second 20 incher. Came with a 4 input SCART selector, SCART to RCA cable and a handfull of BNC to RCA adapters for 100 bucks.
RGB CRT level up!

Some other stuff that came during the week... diecast super poseable megazord, some blu-rays, Tomak Saves the Earth Again, Wreck It Ralph Soundtrack, and a SCART to BNC converter.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v337/jviloria/Nov2012/nov3.jpg)
This SCART to RGB BNC box has extra "stuff" in it to handle some other systems that have finicky syncs.

Stuff in the mail this week. Really liked the Daizyujin figure I got earlier due to the diecast and poseability, so got the Dekarangerrobo from the series (also ordered the samurai zord). Been reading about the improvements and reviews on the RetroDuoPortable v2.0 on several forums, so took the plunge and got one. Impressed so far. Also got an Extron 201 Rxi w/ ADSP, Audio Authority 9A65, some misc cables, Wii SCART cable and another Sony PVM SCART to 25pin RGB cable.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v337/jviloria/thanks2.jpg)
Really digging this line of heavy diecast and super poseable sentai robots.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v337/jviloria/IMG_1299.jpg)
Messing around with some of the video cables I got. Native iOS games on a Sony PVM RGB CRT. Some playable via bluetooth controller via blutrol app.

I found a Super famicom hooked to a game doctor sf3 at Goodwill:

I find it odd that someone dropped off a Super famicom with a game doctor off at Goodwill.
The disk drive may need to be replaced in the game doctor, but other then that every thing works fine.

Stuff that came in the last 3 weeks or so.
Issued the shipment request on stuff that had been stockpiling at my Yahoo Japan proxy service warehouse. Loose SEGA Wondermega and boxed Victor v1 Wondermega came in. However I recently won a boxed SEGA Wondermega and a boxed Victor v2 Wondermega. Currently sitting in the proxy warehouse with the next wave of goods.

I just wanted to get all 3 versions boxed. Once those 2 other versions in box come in, I'll be "donating" the loose ones to good friends of mine.

Can I be your friend? :)
I've been looking for one myself on YHJ but either they don't show up very often or I'm looking in the wrong spot. Do they usually appear under the 'Mega Drive Systems' category or somewhere else?

Haha! I'll keep you in mind lol.
Yes, they appear in the Megadrive "systems/peripherals/accessories" section. However it's almost seasonal when they appear. A few months ago, 4-5 wondermegas popped up at the same time! I bid on two boxed SEGA WMs and managed to win one. There was a Victor version 2 with a reasonable BIN price, so I simply pulled the trigger on that one.

Awesome stuff guys! I have some items from the past two weeks ^_^

Picked up DS lite for $60 locally with 8 games that don't suck most never played. Games I would actually consider buying my self individually...well maybe not lego star wars
The system is in crazy good condition I wanted a lite for GBA play I have purchased new systems that had more wear on them I guess I'm glad he had those god awful stickers on it kept potential buyers away and kept it minty. :) but they got pulled and tossed on the way home ;D A grown man with lego Indiana Jones stickers covering it :crazy: but thankfully they were designed for the system so they came off with ease
its also super nice to me since this is my first DS experience

Well, I bought this pirate from a second hand. Fortunatly it was SMB2 jap just as I hoped!
It´s been a bit hacked, there´s no logo on the title screen, and characters are renamed "Romeo and Lambo" (?). Seems like both share Mario´s jumping physics too. A fun obscurity!
Got Alex Kidd in Shinobi World for the Sega Master System, it took over a month to arrive but was well worth it, this game is excellent. I also got Contra Hard Corps for the Genesis yesterday, as well.
I got Doom 3 (along with the expansion pack) and Quake 4 for £3 yesterday. :)

My Twin Stick finally arrived yesterday :D I'm probably the only one who didn't get it for Virtual On, but instead for Gundam Blue Destiny^^
I'm gonna have to try my old Virtual On demo with it. Good thing the game itself is dirt cheap compared to the stick
At least now I feel like a real Mobile Suit pilot ^^
got donkey kong and donkey kong jr pulse line vers. today not a huge find but i have been wanting these games for a while
Found a copy of the final issue of Nintendo Power at the card shop while picking up a valentine's day card!
You didn't happen to pick up/see a second copy, did you? :bub:
Nope, I grabbed their only remaining copy.
:'(
It seems I don't have luck with that one.
Ah well... :-\
Picked up some non-famicom items recently:
Dragon Quest 1-3 are great on GBA so I went to hunt down some minty copies:
(http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii47/L___E___T/4D83E84B-3EA8-47C9-A247-7815AE2D392D-1803-000002ECC4F51D86_zps1cee4d1a.jpg) (http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii47/L___E___T/8897A835-6E40-4304-A1E3-4B2F7C39274C-1803-000002ECC96A09D5_zps13dc3d3c.jpg)
'X' is considered the father of Starfox because of the whole Dylan Cuthbert and Miyamoto story.
I have it already (and have no idea how to play it) but I love the art and the fact that gameboy can kinda render vectors alone. I found a brand new one and managed to snag it pretty cheap:
(http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii47/L___E___T/EB552F7D-9928-4034-A140-9BE2E91F10A6-1803-000002ECCE5FFF20_zps4721c077.jpg) (http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii47/L___E___T/9457BBC1-E887-4EBB-BABF-3DA96A227D0F-1803-000002ECD2A227AD_zpse6febc32.jpg)
Then I found this a new and unused Japanese Octopus, which I've been looking to find for about 7 years now, longer than I was looking for the Famicom Holster set even. This will complement my new Zelda and Donkey Kong G&Ws thats were the first new pieces of hardware I bought and started me on this silly journey of looking for NIB hardware:

I'm so fucking jealous of that NIB G&W, Luke. That's pretty dang nice.
Some custom made 3D logo signs. Really love how these turned out. The NeoGeo logo is 24" in diameter! Lettering is raised.

...Thanks, you say that, but I had to pay the equivalent of a mint CIB Gimmick! for it though... :( Still, you just don't see them around anymore so I went for it in the end and managed to get the guy down to
a sort of reasonable price.
Stealthlurker those acrylic signs are amazing and then some! No Nintendo, or SNK signs yet? I think this would be perfect for a lightbox:

Actually I just randomly came across the SEGA sign one day. I though what the heck I'll see if he does customs too. I went with a trial on the NeoGeo sign. Now that I see how great is his work firsthand, I have plans to do a lot, lot more haha! Probably will start off with a Japanese Super Famicom Logo, Megadrive Logo and PC-Engine Logo for the next wave.
Actually they weren't too pricey at all. I found the SEGA sign on Ebay for only 40 bucks shipped. I decided to pm him right after and if he could custom requests. He said yes and I found him a good PNG file for the NeoGeo logo. I asked him how big he could make it for me and due to the limitations of his current equipment he could only go about 24" in diameter. The NeoGeo one ran me a little over a hundred bucks shipped.
On a side note, got a chance to process the other packages I got in this week.
Fifteen bucks for a new/sealed PS3 BlazBlue Continuum Shift Extend Limited Edition, new Xbox 360 Import Shmup Ginga Force, Custom of Legend of Almana, the classic Sansho the Bailiff on blu-ray, the latest issue of Shooting Gameside, Arcade Gamers (artsy pictorial of the japanese arcade gaming culture) and the new Megaman figure set.
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v337/jviloria/3D%20Sign/m3_zpsd5bb6769.jpg)
Also in a modded SD card adapter compatible with the NeoGeo X console. Also came in with 2 mini-SD cards loaded with 50 games each.

Found a perfectly working Game Cube in the trash center of my town. It is the first time I ever went there in fact. I had to put some special stuff to trash in particular tubs.
First, I saw it in someone else car... I thought he found it there and was taking it home but no. 5 Minutes later I saw it in a tub. I could only recover the AC and the console. Video cable disappeared (but I saw it when it was in his car).
And it is in good condition :)
What colour? I had one in Purple, Red and Green and nearly bought the Tales of Symphonia one. I loved Gamecube, I thought it was a great console with not enough good games unfortunately (due to its late release).
Purple.

Cool! I once found a fat PS2 with a controller in good condition in the trash. I wish I could find something more rare though. ;D
I loved the Gamecube too! I don't get why it sold so badly. I heard it was even taken off the shelves in the UK.

NGC didn't have too much support from third party developers, nor did the console sell well enough and now the NGC nightmare is back on Nintendo's Wii U.
To be fair, it's Nintendo's fault because they released Wii U in the middle of the 7th Gen and 8th Gen, which makes it compete against Xbox 360, PS3 & Xbox 720, PS4 wasn't really an intelligent move from Nintendo. Iwata needs to be fired.
More stuff, no pictures since I'm too tired...
-Animal Crossing (GC) - Mainly to play Clu Clu Land, Punch-Out!! and Zelda :link: until I get back the actual carts.
-Xbox system with hook-ups and no controller.
-Game Boy Camera! Can't wait to see those scary faces! :o
by no means an amazing rare item find, but I bought this Gameboy for $2.00.

In the middle? You're kidding right? The end! Yeah the problem is when you release late, you don't have the player base to justify games being built or even ported, as the Wii U is now seeing. I just hope Nintendo have another card up their sleeve.
Ace find with the gameboy! gonna backlight mod it? Don't be scared!
MISSION COMPLETE! All Japanese Wondermegas boxed and complete! ;)

Picked up 2 more Sony PVM RGB (2030) pro-grade monitors. These came with the hard to find hard travel cases. Also decked out with the optional speakers and remote. Best of all, they each have less than 50 hrs of use on each! Very happy!
Now I've got 7 of these RGB PVM monitors, haha.

Been wanting a NeoGeo Ironclad Brikinger in cart form for a looooong time. Now I have it on AES (home console) and MVS (arcade) cart form! ;D

Also went on a huge resealable plastic baggy and clear protective box rampage for multiple platforms. Still got some other types en route. This round mainly protecting Wonderswan, GBA, GB, GBC, Mark III, more 8bit Famicom and NeoGeo AES boxed games in clear box protectors and or baggies.
Lookin' sharp!

The crazy thing is that I have tons more stuff en route. I feel like a store receiving inventory! ;D
.
Not sure that many people collect for the system, but I just got my SwanCrystal in the mail today. Having played a Wonderswan Color for a couple of years, I can safely say the SwanCrystal is far superior, and it works much better with the Worm Light accessory :)
(http://i.imgur.com/7ec7afX.jpg)
Yes, the Swan Crystal is much nicer.
The screen of the normal Wonderswan is not really very good.
I think I have a Swan Crystal too somewhere... Oh god, I need to sort out my stuff. :-[

Now that I have a decent system to play Wonderswan games on, my next acquisition is going to be getting Digimon Anode & Cathode Tamer (Veedramon Version) from a friend of mine who lives in Korea. It's actually one of the only Wonderswan games released in English, since it was released only in the Korean market as a bundle with a Wonderswan Color system.
I always wanted to get a WonderSwan but hmm this one looks quite interesting. Thanks for the info ! AWA!
Stealthlurker what's great about those monitors? I need to find a good RGB monitor or a DIY arcade cabinet project.
That's an impressive finds haul - though some of the posters pics seem to be dead links? I wanna see them!
Lastly, please show us all those CIB Gameboy games! I pick these up one or two at a time so I'd love to see what you grabbed over time! :D
Here are some recent finds from me:
NIB Gameboy headphones:

As new Pokemon Yellow and Konami's Outburst:

I have one of the Famicom prototype GBAs NIB so I figured this would complement nicely.
CIB Dragon Quest 3 for SFC, been looking for a while for a nice condition one:
(http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii47/L___E___T/null_zps0164dd61.jpg)
NIB Konami Justifier:

They used the same styrofoam as the regular version that included the game, I don't think it's missing anything.
A Killzone helmet, houses the special edition of the game. A colleague didn't want this, so I got it for free. I like it - it reminds me of Jin Roh and will fit the Rockman manga I'm currently reading, or whatever game I'm currently playing safely.
(http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii47/L___E___T/null_zps671fc6ac.jpg)
More to come in a few weeks. Looking forward to my Drag N Derp cart when it finally arrives.
Well, those types of monitors are/were used by film studios, television/broadcast, etc. Anytime you needed reference level picture quality. They've got all sorts of inputs and features. Also professional grade connectors, like BNC. They're stackable, got handles, degauss button, etc. But most importantly of all (for me at least), they're great for RGB retro gaming. Here in the States we didn't have SCART, so old CRTs with RGB capability don't really exist. These are one way to go.... but can also be hard to source, depending on your area.
Haha, maybe one of these days I'll lay'em out and "document" them with pics. I stopped comprehensive cataloging like that a long time ago. Too much hoopla involved. ;D
BTW, that's some really MINT looking stuff you acquired. Especially digging those Gameboy headphones. Looks NOS!
.
The Gameboy headphones are NOS and unopened inside. Would you like one for trade or something?

Any stuff you looking for in particular? I've got duplicates on all sorts of platforms. Do you have anything else you might be interested in trading also? If this sounds interesting to you, we could save trips to the post and shipping to knock out a couple of items in one shot.
I absolutely hate going to the post to ship stuff. The main reason why I don't sell/trade in general, haha.

I haven't posted any finds here in a while! Well here are some from the past week! Be sure to check me out on Facebook! Keyword Retro Gaming Life

Here are some of my latest purchases! ^_^
Cheers my fellow retro gamers!
Man, Freak. I'd say that was ridiculous but my collection probably looks just as nuts, even if I've gotten rid of a lot of it in anticipation of my move. Good stuff!
Thanks! Lets get our collections even nutier!! I love it! awaaa! :p
New stuff!

I'm also a proud owner of a Japanese PlayStation 2 (which I haven't owned in ~6 years - I can finally play my Karaoke games again!) and an Xbox 360. (First time owning one!)
Deathsmiles was a wonderful purchase, that game is great! If you happen to like it, then there are a couple of 360 imports I'd recommend, and they're both 100% region free.
Mushihimesama Futari
ESPGaluda II
I played through Deathsmiles yesterday and it was an awesome experience! The bosses were great! I'll have to look those titles up one day.
The main reason why I picked up a 360 was for the tidal wave of shmups that were released for the system. However, you'd need a japanese or modded 360 to play many of them... only a handful are region free.
.
Which reminds me, I cannot even possibly begin to fathom why Cave chose to release some of their games without region-lock, but others with region-lock, such as the new installments of DoDon Pachi, which I'd love to play, but am unable to spend a fortune on a Japanese 360. Stupid decision.
New pick ups!

Awesome repros FamicomFreak! I love that kind of stuff. Do you plan to print out inserts and put them in clam cases too?
On a side note...
Got another little trinket today. I've been curious about this in terms of using it as a stand-alone bluetooth joystick for my iPad/iPhone. Works really well actually. Pair it with a tv-out cable and it's rather nice. I brought my smaller 13" PVM to my office at work and kept a tv-out cable hooked up to it. Every now and then I hook up my phone to it and bust out some emulators. The 8-bitty gamepad is nice, but I'd rather use a stick.
Trying out some PCE CD based games with it...
An improvement over the standard iCade unit I noticed is that the ball doesn't start to unscrew a bit after playing for a while. The balltop on this one fits tightly on. Stick has a tighter throw too which I like. It's also a decent weight for being mostly plastic. Not too big or too small either. Just right size to stow away in my cabinet at work. Also the price is right at about 30 shipped from Amazon via my prime membership.

Interesting game stick. To answer your question, yesh I'm working on the case art and manuals as well. Little by little though. I made a case art work for my copy of Tetris already lol
Here are a couple I've printed out. I did the Mario one but the Tetris I found online :p

Those look really nice. Are you printing those inserts yourself or taking them to a shop?
Also, who does your repros if you don't mind me asking?
I've only had one genny repro done in japanese megadrive cart case and insert style for the unfinished Ninja Gaiden proto. Funny thing is that after I had a guy custom make the insert, you started seeing it used on a lot of other people's repros.
.
Yeah, that's why I put my web address in the label I mean it may not do much but it's better than nothing. I do them all myself and print them myself as well. I just re-did the label art for my Famicom copy of Zelda a link to the past. The Chinese label had nothing to do with Zelda or Link... yuck!

That's very cool and extra points for doing the work yourself. Also love that doki doki panic in the clamshell!
By the way, what are you using for those clamshell cases?
Yeah some of the packaging for those chinese made carts can be pretty "interesting" lol.

Picked up a second Gateway DL27-1 yesterday afternoon. Basically a 27" CRT VGA monitor. I forgot how amazing stuff looks on this. Especially retro via an XRGB2+ or Dreamcast VGA adapter.

I like the golden borders :)
Continuous improvement, I like it. ;)
Also digging that joystick. I like the design.
Picked up an interesting novelty. An MVS (arcade) NeoGeo Garou Mark of the Wolves in an AES (home system) cart shell. Will not play on an AES without adapter. Mainly bought it to get a cheap extra snaplock case and for the novelty factor. Would like to get an Omega CMVS console down the road and this would pair nicely with it.

Are you talking about the type of paper I use for the case art?
Actually I meant the actual plastic clam shell cases themselves. Are they namcot cases or genesis etc?
That would be a cool thing to do for some of my pirate games that I don't want to spend a ton of money on to spruce them up a bit. Maybe print out a new sticker label and clam shell insert.
.
I just go to flea markets and buy the sport titles that nobody wants and use their cases for it. It's cheap and looks great ^_^

Cool thanks for the 411. It's funny, but I've never tried to pop a famicom cart into a Genesis/SMS clamshell before.
I've seen you pick up those chinese games like the pokemon stuff in your latest haul. Are you actually able to find those locally or you getting them via the internet?

They pop up on eBay from time to time. Here are some new additions!

BAM. Got a few others coming too :)
Hey FamicomFreak,
Are those Madden carts going to be donors for repro work? I'm always looking for them in bargain bins around here for trade credit with the repro guys.
Yeah they are going to be donor carts I want to send to this guy on NA ^_^ I will have to wait until I get back from my trip though... :(
Newest things (and probably the only things I'm getting for this month):
(http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/6753/mayfinds1.png)
All hail "Mario Lottery"... and the "rare" Pikachu 3DS XL... and Duke Nukem Forever! Well, maybe not the last one, but I'm enjoying it... and that's what counts!
That Mario statue in FF's pics looks nice. :)
So does the Pikachu 3DS. I wonder why they produce these in limited numbers. They surely could sell a lot more if it was a regular model.
That's the mario statue NDS holder stand right? It's definitely a cool, "multi-purpose" stand. ;D
Recent arrivals...
New 25th anniversary Mega Man game, art, soundtrack, wallpapers, comics, fan art book and complete works book on this USB drive. Also finally got my OUYA... Even though I've been playing with my coworkers OUYA for the past 2 weeks lol

Awww yeah it did! Before the NES was released, the Jetsons brought back the fun in the console market !
I'm too lazy to snap pictures, but I just bought up a few CIB Genesis games. I'm most pleased with my new copy of Battletoads.
That, and I got a couple of junk SNES sports games for a buck apiece. Trying to build up some credit toward some repro work.

Yesterday I was at Retrospelsmässan in Gothenburg. Most of my finds are former rental games. Got a cool inner box for Color Dreams for free as well :)
EDIT: Retrospelsmässan is a retro gaming fair held once a year in Gothenburg, Sweden.

Seeing that Shinobi SMS box sure brings back memories. I played that game to death back in the day. Loved the arcade version. At the time I thought this was a fairly good and fun to play port.

Yeah, I just tried it and it plays pretty well. Unlike many Master System games, the music isn´t tormenting either. The game is a bit unfair as you repetedly jump into enemies you didn´t see, but definitluy an enjoyable title.
The arcade version is even more unforgiving. But then again most arcade games are. Yeah definitely a classic.
I'd recommend you guys give Alex Kidd in Shinobi World a play if you haven't already. In addition to Land of Illusion and Castle of Illusion, it's some of the best platforming on the Master System.
I just picked up a Sega 32X from a game store in town, but they didn't have any good games for it. I'll have to go over to my favorite store in the next few days and pick up a copy of Doom. (They seriously have dozens of them over there.)
While I was there, I spied a box of Genesis boxes in the back. I asked about them, and the guy told me that they were things they weren't supposed to keep. This is a corporate chain, and the orders from on high are to throw away all the Sega boxes because they take up too much space in the for-sale counters. Nooooo!
Luckily, this rebellious store has been stashing them under the counter. When I asked about them, they put it up to me and let me take anything I wanted out of it for free. Score! I got boxes for all three helicopter "Strike" games (Desert Strike, Jungle Strike, and Urban Strike) among others.
So, next I went over to the chain's other location in town. They had a pretty nice selection of Master System games, all cart-only of course. After calling one of the clerks over to get a better look at the titles in the counter, I asked if they had boxes for any of them. Sadly, this store is just throwing them all away! I hate how especially corporate game stores are doing this!
Well, I left without buying anything. I don't bother collecting loose SMS games anyhow, given how hideously plain those carts are. I'll definitely be back to that first store every couple of weeks or so now, to see if they get any other interesting Sega boxes that they've refused to trash.
Very cool, you should try to get Mortal Kombat II for 32X. The 32X port of that game seems pretty close to the arcade original. I hear you on the SMS cart designs, they're horrendous. It's like they went out of their way to make them as generic and horrendous as possible. Luckily out of my 50-or-so SMS games, only 3 of them are cart only. (Black Belt, R-Type and Double Dragon)
Long anticipated horizontal shmup for the SEGA Dreamcast, Sturmwind finally arrives!

First post I`ve made on here in 6 months and naturally its to brag about another acquisition.
I got my very own Atari 2800 this week, complete with a few carts and a 1989 Sony Trinitron TV that I had to specifically buy to play it. That is the Japanese version of the 2600, a very hard creature to come by. Put some pics up here:
http://famicomblog.blogspot.jp/2013/05/the-atari-2800-saga.html
That was some interesting backstory on Atari. That's pretty funny, how they just pushed the 2600 into Japan just as the Famicom was being released. No wonder those things are rare!
Thanks Nerdy. Yeah, I think they came out just a couple of months before the Famicom and that 1977 technology just couldn`t compete!
Yesterday, I went and saw an old acquaintance who was downsizing his collection. I came away $50 poorer, but now I've got an extra Sega Nomad, as well as a 32x missing its cord and five boxed 32x games.
Sweet. What were the 32X titles, were any of them MKII? I'll be going on a trip to Seattle next week, despite how badly I'll miss playing Famicom during it, I look forward to picking up some new Famicom games at the import store there.
That sounds exciting. I wish there were import stores of that kind around here. Are those places good on prices?
Nah, no Mortal Kombat. I've been thinking about that one, as I've heard good things about it. I also need to get a copy of Doom, as I hear it's a really solid port. I know a game store here in town has both, but they're a bit too expensive. I think Doom is $5 there, and MKII is about $15 (and they're both cart-only). Meh.
The titles are Cosmic Carnage, Kolibri, Primal Rage, Space Harrier, and Star Wars Arcade. The latter four are actually CIB. Cosmic Carnage is missing its manual, but they're all otherwise complete. I'm happy to pick up a classic like Space Harrier. Kolibri is the one that looks the most interesting. It appears to be a side-scrolling shmup where you play as a hummingbird.
Yeah I wish we had a store like that here too... but nope, no game stores whatsoever where I live. The prices there are mixed, a lot of people say they're overpriced, but I think it differs between products. Some of their stuff is about the same as online price, some of it is grossly overpriced (I remember they had cart-only Kage for 40 bucks, that is double what it should be), but some of it is actually a pretty good deal. And I can't find any Famicom stuff elsewhere besides online, so I figure I might as well jump at the chance while I'm there.
Good stuff! How does the 32X version of Primal Rage compare to the 3DO or Saturn versions? I like the Saturn version of that game a lot. Didn't even know Space Harrier was released on 32X, and I've never heard of Kolibri until now but it sounds pretty cool.
Kolibri is arguably the finest hummingbird-based shooter for the 32X. It has a great atmosphere to it.
The Doom port was the only 32X game I had for like 8 years until I finally found some used games in a store while at college. I don't remember the port being anything special. It's missing many of the stages (size constraints?) and you can't even get the BFG-9000 without cheat codes!
I actually haven't played any of this stuff yet. I don't even have a 32x hooked up. It's going to be kind of a pain to set one up; my entertainment center probably weighs over 300 pounds thanks to my 32 inch CRT tv, so getting behind it to to mess with hookups is quite a chore.
I now have two 32x add-ons, with only one set of cables between them. I saw a mod online that shows how you can integrate the guts of a 32x directly inside of a Model-2 Genesis (apparently a fair bit of empty space in there). It would eliminate the need for the hookup and the second power supply. I have a spare Model-2 also, so I'm thinking of enlisting one of my tech guys to build one for me.
I've only played Primal Rage for the Genesis, and maybe the SNES (I think there's one for that too, right?). I really didn't care for the game, to be honest. Maybe it'll be more interesting on a more powerful console, but I won't get my hopes up. I'm not too huge on tournament fighters, and I tend to stick to the Mortal Kombat series when I am in the mood.
The 32x version of Doom is supposedly second only to the Atari Jaguar version in best emulating the original PC game. And I'm not planning to add a Jaguar to my console collection, as there just aren't enough games to interest me. I'm just not going to branch out beyond NES, Famicom, SNES, and Genesis. That's a lot of terrain, especially since the SNES plays GB thanks to the Super Game Boy. And my Genesis plays Master System via the Power Base Converter (and potentially now 32x).
I'm back from my journey! Here is what I have to show for it! :P

Why do you have a Famicom cart in your N64??

Yeah, they really put lots of love into their books. Some of their stuff is in English, but so many are not. Such a shame...

Ah, DoDonPachi Saidaioujou looks amazing, but sadly I don't believe it's region free like Mushihimesama Futari and ESPGaluda II were. I'm guessing you have a Japanese 360?

I see the preorder beta testing model Ouya!
@Nightstar699
Yeah I have a japanese 360, however I heard that it was region free?
@The Uninvited Gremlin
Actually it is the standard release for everyone Ouya not a dev one.
.
@StealthLurker
No, there is a DEV and a beta model. They are doing a rev 3 version for release, it has a different bios and slightly redesigned controller... That's why it was pushed back for a later release to the general public.
Your's is the beta model, the new ones that are release version are slightly better design.
I thought the dev model was clear/translucent and they got their Ouyas months ahead of the rest of us?
I got mine maybe 3 weeks ago? Are you thinking of the next batch that will be sold at shops like Gamestop, etc?
.
Yes; the new batch is upgraded from the one you received, they just implemented the need for upgrades 2 weeks ago.
Oh cool. Do you know what they improved?

Not really, they just said they were revising things before the official release.
Not exactly gaming related.... but I mainly got it for quirky gaming in mind! ;D
So I picked up some deal of the day on woot a few days ago. A pico projector/backup batter iPhone case. Normally I believe it went for 220+, but got it for about 80 shipped.
Been dorking around with it at the house. Pretty impressed with the brightness and picture quality for a pico projector. I've been able to get a very good image on a screen size that's larger than 100 inches at work (unfortunately didn't take a pic). I was also walking around the neighborhood earlier this evening and projecting Esprade on the side of peoples homes (no windows of course, just a solid outer wall) haha.
I'm pretty impressed. I've heard there can be issues tate'ing a standard projector, but this makes it so easy. 100" tate shmups anyone?
Sorry for the poor picture quality. I took it with my iPad2 which has a horrible camera. I couldn't find the battery for my dedicated digicam.

Oh, wholesale, I wouldn't roll my eyes at those for free. I've been buying up all the spare late Maddens out of the dollar bin at the game stores here in town. They're good for repro credit.
Got this today,never knew they were this small but I like it.

Where did you get the Fix it Felix game???
Limited edition was sold at Nintendo age. I, not even sure there was a thread for it though. I know the guy who made it so he offers me one of the 50 first run copies. I think he is going to make a regular run of it later on.
Was the ROM public release too?
Nope, but I'm sure someone will dump it even though the author is agasint it.

Not exactly gaming related.... but I mainly got it for quirky gaming in mind! ;D
So I picked up some deal of the day on woot a few days ago. A pico projector/backup batter iPhone case. Normally I believe it went for 220+, but got it for about 80 shipped.
Been dorking around with it at the house. Pretty impressed with the brightness and picture quality for a pico projector. I've been able to get a very good image on a screen size that's larger than 100 inches at work (unfortunately didn't take a pic). I was also walking around the neighborhood earlier this evening and projecting Esprade on the side of peoples homes (no windows of course, just a solid outer wall) haha.
I'm pretty impressed. I've heard there can be issues tate'ing a standard projector, but this makes it so easy. 100" tate shmups anyone?

FF - you do realise nobody can see any of these pics right???

I got an amazing find today - I'm so happy I have never seen one of these before, I wish I knew more about it and could play with it more.
Has anyone else seen one of these before?

I have seen only one of those carts before, but it was a lesser model than what you have there! All I know about it is that it is a cart that was originally used to develop games for the monochrome Gameboy. The most information you can find out about it would probably be from this old Gameboy programming manual made by Nintendo in 1999 http://chrisantonellis.com/files/gameboy/gb-programming-manual.pdf
I picked up a few new-school things at a Goodwill for cheap, and flipped them for trade credit at a game store in town. Long story short: I picked up Super Bomberman 2 (SNES), The Last Starfighter (NES), and Yo! Noid (NES) for $7 today. I've been wanting the SNES Bomberman games for a while now. This is my first copy of Last Starfighter, but I've played it before and it sucks. I'll be selling it to a friend working on a complete set. (Between him and me, there's at least 1,000 NES carts in our neighborhood.) And, well, I've been thinking about giving Yo! Noid another chance. (It might have something to do with nightstar's enthusiasm for the game...)

I happen to like these sort of thoughts! Some advice to help you get started.
Stage 01: You already know the main hazard, here... the water, and the ground constantly shifting up and down. This game isn't very lenient when it comes to this trap, so be patient... if guaranteed survival means that you must wait for another cycle, then do it. On the final platform jump of the stage, there will be a fish jumping out of the water. I'd recommend taking him out before jumping, or just learn the timing really well so you can kill him mid-jump, otherwise he'll kill you out of the air.
Stage 02: If you hit the falling ice blocks with your yo-yo, they'll explode into little ice cubes which kill you... be aware of this as you navigate the stage, because it can really fuck up lesser-experienced Noiders. The Eskimo enemies that kick projectiles at you can be tough to deal with, I'd recommend using magic to take them out quickly. About half way through the stage, there is a hidden III card in the air, just before a jump onto a platform.I'd recommend yo-yoing the air as you jump to figure out and memorize where this item is. Jumping onto the moving ice platforms can be a real pain, you have to twitch back and forth, and possibly hop a little to prevent from sliding off, you'll have to get used to this to clear the stage.
Stage 03: On the skateboard, you can jump to kill enemies, but you want to make sure you hit them with the back wheels, so they don't get you first. When the flying enemies come to drop bombs, I'd recommend backing up a little bit, and doing a small hop over the bombs. Near the end of the stage, there is a jump which you have to build up speed, and jump at the absolute last second, or else you'll fall into the pit. Learn the timing, and jump as late as possible.
Stage 04: Upon killing the enemy who has it, this level lets you use the Pizza Crusher. If you're swiftly navigating the platforms on the Crusher, be aware that the Crusher only lasts for a brief period of time, and if you lose it mid-jump, then you'll fall straight to the ground, and quite possibly, to your death. Luckily Noid will flash for a second before he's about to lose the Crusher... this was actually added in to Yo! Noid, in Kamen No Ninja Hanamaru, he didn't flash before losing it. Watch out for the balloon enemies in this stage, as they'll turn into stone and fall on you when you go under them... but if you're high up enough, you can take them out before they have the chance to turn to stone. Also be aware of the fire-spitting enemies who not only shoot projectiles, but they take multiple hits of your standard weapon before they're defeated.
Stage 05: At the beginning of the stage, take the lower path. Break open the third item (rather than collecting it for the special meter), and it'll be an invincibility. This will help you quickly make it through much of the stage. The moving platforms aren't too intimidating, most of the flying fish will miss you while you're on it. However, upon jumping across stationary platforms, one of the fish will come straight at you, so be prepared to take him out with a jumping attack.
Stage 06: Patience is key, as mostly is the case in Yo! Noid/Kamen No Ninja Hanamaru. You really have to look before you leap in this stage, because the flying fish are deadly, and they're ready to attack upon nearly every jump. So, as you jump across the platforms, wait a second to allow the fish to try flying at you... then take them out with a quick jump attack. Half way through the stage, when you come across a yacht with "Noid" written on it (why does it say Noid on it, anyway?), you can jump left on that platform, and you'll be warped to the whack-a-mole mini-game. I'd highly recommend give it a try, because if you meet the quota, you'll automatically finish the goal so you won't have to complete the rest of the stage. And the second half of this stage is filled with cannons which are pretty difficult to bypass if you haven't learned their patterns, so I think you should give the whack-a-mole game a shot. Not to mention you get an extra continue for completing the minigame.
There are 8 more stages than the ones I offered advice for... tell me how they go. I could offer more advice if you're stuck on a particular part, but overall Yo! Noid/Hanamaru is a game of patience and adaptation... and luck, as far as the boss battles go. Damn it, I wish they just would have featured regular bosses to fight, not stupid mini-games...
Hey L___E___T,what you have is a official gb flash cart,more info here.

Agreed, I think the bosses are what kept me from enjoying. (Well, those and level 2) It's the same reason I never liked the Alex Kidd game for the Mega Drive. :-\

Yeah. Kamen No Ninja Hanamaru and Kero Kero Keroppi No Daibouken 2 have that in common... they're two of my favorite games ever made, but I know they'd be even better if they just had traditional bosses rather than stupid mini-games. Like, the mini-games would be cool... as mini-games. Optional mini-games, they shouldn't completely take the place of boss battles.
New stuff from the last couple of days! ^_^

Look at all the batteries it needs! I need AC adapter and more games for it!

I also picked these games up from a local game shoppe!
Ok, so I see an SNES listed on Craigslist the other day. No power cord... $90. My first thought: "Yeah, riiiiight." CL has some nutty sellers on there sometimes, to be sure. But I decide to email anyway, and ask if there are any games that come with it. After a little bit of fairly confusing communication, I find that it does actually come with 30-some games. Half of 'em are crappy sports games, but they're also open to offers.
I offer $60, and they accept. I was busy Friday night, and they were away yesterday, so I got over there to pick it up. Not a bad little bundle: Mega Man X, two copies of Mario All-Stars, Mario World, Mario Kart, and a handful of decent $5 games. Most exciting for me is the SNES mousepad; I didn't have one of those yet.
80GB Ipod for FREE. why? because it was resetting apple icon. so i put into DFU mode and did a factory reset to it and now it works like it should. not sure what to do with it now considering i have no use for an ipod.
Here are some new additions!

Thanks to Wholesalewatch648 and Petik1 for DQV and Animal Crossing: WW respectively! My Gyromite connector had one hell of a time connecting to Fudo Myouoden, so I'm not taking it off very soon. :P

Very curious about that 3ds multi. What exactly is it?

Very curious about that 3ds multi. What exactly is it?
It's just a DS game cartridge loaded with normal DS games, NOT 3DS games. No idea if it would work on a 3DS though, since the 3DS firmware updates fairly often to block this sort of stuff.
Couple of new bits :) Ganbare Goemon 2 tonight (after the cricket & golf)

I owned the 2 blue books waaaaay back in elementary school (ordered them out of the Book Order Catalogs they used to pass out!). The red one, I don't think I ever owned. I do remember seeing a kid with it on the playground and the kid kept calling Toad in the screenshots of SMB2 "Mushroom Baby".
I do like the "not-infringing Link" on the cover!
I have the red one. I got it in elementary school and forgot I had it. :)
$4 ;D it came with the instruction book but i lost it ???
Nice.
I picked up a copy of DDR Extreme 2 for PS2 with case, instructions, and 2 memory cards for $2.00

I believe it was roughly 150-ish after all middleman fees and shipping. Maybe a little more.
.
woa, great deal. would you ever consider selling it??
At this time no, but if I do I'll ping you.
.
Haha, Stealthlurker I won a brand new Lynx NG3 once, seller was happy to cancel though after I won it cheap and realised I didn't care for it :)
So folks, probably my best find ever:
(http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii47/L___E___T/null_zps6427e990.jpg)
Why is it my best find ever? First of all, it was given to me FREE.
Second of all, it's completely new and unused!
(http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii47/L___E___T/null_zps0cf31054.jpg)
Over the moon right now!
Nice boxed NR Reader,is it pal?
I thought it would be, but it's US NTSC.
Cool,I bet it's sporting a region switch.
The thing is with a nr reader the only difference is the optical drive.
Don't be silly, it's also green!! :)
I'll see if its got a region switch, the last one did, also US NTSC.
I had the red one too once, but not the brown.
Can't beat free! Actually all my development / test game systems were given to me for free back in the day too. ;D Game companies are supposed to destroy them... but some walk off somehow haha.
.
Yeah it's pretty silly really, they come with a massive charge to buy, but then have to be returned or destroyed, shame. What systems do you have? I'd love to see them.
One thing I would love to have or know more about is a GBA Micro debug kit. I know first-hand they exist, but I've never seen them documented sadly.
I've got 2 ps2 test/debug units, a blue debug ps1, a black dev ps1 and a GameCube dev unit in storage somewhere. I had a chance to get a dreamcast one for free too (I think it looked like a pc tower), but I passed for some reason at the time. I should have grabbed it. People are willing to pay ridiculous amounts for those.
What's funny is that I held off on getting a ps2 when it came out. I wasn't into games anymore at the time. So when I got my first debug ps2 for free that was my only Ps2.... was nice that it was region free.
.
Yeah the PS2 Tests are pretty good, especially with a HDD bolted on the back. I also have a blue PS1 debug but I don't think it works.
how were you able to get that for free .. its so nice.....
A friend gave it to me because he had so many, I feel really lucky because I've wanted one for a long time now. I loved my Gamecube back in the day, shame it came out so late and couldn't really compete.
I biked out to the decent-ish game store on the other side of town today. I picked up four sweet, CIB Genesis games: Adventures of Batman & Robin, The Lost World: Jurassic Park, Sonic & Knuckles, and X-Men 2. I also picked up a Wario Land II, which was my most-wanted GB game of the moment.
bought these for the hell of it..

Sell or trade me one of those Super Mario Bros Sega Genesis carts! I'd love you in a completely non platonic sort of way forever if you did that.
Also, nice Silent Hill games. I really like the series. I am just starting to play through 1 again.
I will have a sale thread opening next week with a bunch of the Genesis games and a lot of other goodies. ^_^
Ill look out for it. :O

FYI, I think those are just "repros" - there are quite a few "repro" makers for Sega that could make you one, though getting th\e original would be better imo
Yo, FamicomFreak,
Do you run a game store? Because it looks like you have enough stuff to do so.
nerdynebraskan, yes; he buys things cheap to sell for profit. I don't live in a solid location to do that myself. We have like 9 used game shops so nobody sells games at personal sales any longer. Sadly the shops base their prices on "Buy it now!" from eBay, thus no good deals to be found at all where I live. Occasionally though a neighboring town will have a Craigslist ad pop up for cheaper but that's never often.

Yeah, as of now I'm just getting inventory. I haven't sold anything in over a month. I want to open my own online store and have threads on here. I will still need a couple of weeks. I will be offering fair prices for sure especially on here.
I am quite happy with my two latest Wonderswan purchases! I got them both for about half of what they normally go, being complete and such ;D

The contra poster kicks ass! Also, loved the double dragon VHS tape. Awesome stuff!
thanks man! I've been wanting posters like those for a while. I was super stoked to have finally got something like that.

I just picked up a Japanese Dreamcast with about 10 games not too long ago, its coming surface mail so....I am still waiting for that. Its been 1 month as of today....
Here are my finds for the past week or so.

Sell me that gameboy multi with pokemon on it.
Love the Vectrex! Nice!

Just scored a Vectrex! I haven't played that thing in over 15 years. What a fun little system that was.
Got myself a little piece of Nintendo history from 1972, in blue:

Hands down my favorite pre-Famicom era Nintendo toy.
A PSP 2000 with 8 games for $50
Some games include gta, call of duty and others
I was looking for my super gameboy in the shed and I found a playstation, an almost new portable dvd player, 10 atari 2600 games from my childhood, My ex's pokemon figurine collection, and a woodgrain atari! I also found a whole bunch of old transformers too which I will probably put on ebay soon
Sweet finds. Do you know which Transformers you've got?
Let October commence! Here are my finds so far in the first couple of days of the month!

Cheers!
Just some of my finds from Anime Weekend Atlanta last weekend. Got the GBA games for $5 each, and I was able to talk down the person selling Seiken Densetsu 2 to only $6. All in all I think I did pretty well~

I finally won Chalvo 55, the rare sequel to Bound High! (Unreleased Virtual Boy game), this sequel was limited release on Gameboy in Japan only.

Sweet finds. Do you know which Transformers you've got?
Not really I will have to take some photos soon I know a few of them are gen 1 ones
Heh, transformers are cool!
I'm a bit of a Transformers geek. I could probably help you identify some/most of them, especially if you've got G1 stuff.

WTF trash lightsaber
Works perfect seems they cost like $200 new this makes noise, lights up. Too bad starwars isnt really my thing but it was free and i aint complaining.
Anyway thats my find of the day i think it was pretty cool too bad paint is slightly chipped :(
Just returned from Japan and while staying in Kyoto I dropped off at a few Book Off's (equivalent to Goodwill or Value Village in Japan) and found quite a few great games:
Consoles: NIntendo Family Computer, Super Famicom, Game Boy Pocket **BUT** The ORIGINAL Game Boy. not a Color! Only available in Japan, but will work on NTSC.
SFC
Chrono Trigger
Mario Party
Rockman X3
Mario Kart
Dragon Slayer
Star Ocean
Tetris 3
Breath of Fire 2
Ogre Battle March of the Black Queen
Final Fantasy 6
I have copies for quite a few, so if you're interested, PM me for a price.
N64
Pokemon Stadium 2
Ogre Battle 64
Mario Kart
Mario 64
Mario Party
Zelda CIB near Mint unreleased Title in U.S
FC
Mario 3
DonDoko-Don
Fire Emblem
Astro Boy
Rockman 5
GB/GBC
Zelda Hyrule, Pokemon Blue & Crystal, Mario Land & Kirby (original GB.)
Saturn
Shining Force 3
Playstaion

.hack//GU VOL 3
There's a lot rarer games out there than these, especially for the Famicom but I was going with a North American mind on value and wasn't looking at which Famicom games are actually rare. Chrono Trigger is vastly available for under $10, but Rockman X3 still cost me $35.00. Happy with my finds!
what actually is this
Zelda CIB near Mint unreleased Title in U.S
Unreleased zelda games for the n64?
Mario party for SFC?
Pictures please? I am interested in seeing what it is that you're talking about. I've never heard of these.

Sweet. I have been looking for a Famicom styled famiclone for a while. And it's boxed no less!
Think I bought one of those. There was also an exact replica of the Famicom with the silver box and everything, with all the Nintendo logos removedit was really nice to see.
I'm still to get a Subor famiclone, mind. I'd like one of these as a Chinese localised version of the aforementioned clone. Cheap too.

That's all!!! ^_^
Got my Eevee 3DS LL in the mail this morning! This was a trade between a friend (who is going to college in Japan) and I. Back when this was released she won the chance to buy it at the Pokemon Center in Tokyo, but since she is not totally fluent in Japanese she told me that if I could get her a US 3DS XL and send it to her, she would send me this one, complete in box. In the end it only cost me about $180 to get and ship her a 3DS XL, so I think I scored an amazing deal ;D

What a nice console! And thanks for the address of this cool site, wish i knew for it earlier, prices are so much cheaper than ebay ;)
Ya I have been watching that aliexpress site but have never used it so didn't know if it was legit.
It's been a long time since I posted finds on here, not going to show everything I've gotten, but for now I'll show the most important things. Recently I finally decided to get a Super Famicom console, after many years spent desiring one. I'm more than satisfied with my decision since I've been having so much fun with its library. Here are the games I've acquired for it at this point...
(http://i.imgur.com/Z0yC8gr.png)
Ninja Warriors, Ganbare Goemon 2 and Ganbare Daiku No Gen-San are my favorites.

Sorry for so many pics! Cya!!
I scored this awesome A0 poster - unbelievably a friend gave it to me for free (he preordered):
(http://www.zeldauniverse.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/A-Link-Between-Worlds-Artwork-1.jpg)
Looking forwrad to getting that framed with my handbills.
Cool! :) Oh yeah the game was released today wasn't it? I have to wait until December though. What happened to the benefits of importing from Japan!?? lol
(http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y101/pikkonson/raindowadventure_zpsbc0608df.png)
Aha! Nice game, I have it too but find a bit odd to play and control. I really love Pop 'N' Twinbee though.
$7 (http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u68/Evil_Vlad/ChaosBlack_zps4e26a2b9.png)
This game was programmed with a fatal flaw intentionally so that if pirate companies tried to release it then people wouldn't buy it because you cannot get past MT. Moon without entering a cheat known as "Walk Through Walls", which is easy to use in an emulator. This is widely considered to be one of the best hacks available, but its usually not acceptable to use on real hardware because of the intentional flaw which makes this the cheapest hack cart available.
$30 (http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u68/Evil_Vlad/Gameshark_zpsa0334b98.jpg)
Well, I bought a Gameshark SP which is capable of letting me enter the "Walk Through Walls" code thus allowing me to complete the game in an actual GBA.
The game is already in my possession but the Gameshark SP is due to arrive soon enough. I am so excited!
My finds from Sept. until now:

The Mario/Luigi item is a placemat!
The Blue GBA cart is actually this one:
http://www.nesworld.com/article.php?system=gbx&data=gba-chinesemulticart
The label was falling off, so I just removed it. Most of the NES games run horribly (some are slow, some glitched), while the surprise was number 48, a SMB1 hack called Flower which I can't find a clip of. You only get one life and it's really hard, but pretty fun. I've only made it to 1-2 after many game overs!
Work has been really busy the past few weeks... so just been able to crack these open and take a look at them today.
Some books and mags. Really dig the Darius Odyssey book.

The front of that book looks awesome. Actually the whole thing is awesome.
Very nice, I haven't even seen two of those MD games before.

Haha, actually those last 3 megadrive games were never officially released in Japan. They're very well done japanese style customs of genesis games only officially released in the west. So yeah, technically they shouldn't exist in that form you see there. ;)
I tend to go for things like that because I only really collect japanese games. So I do similar things for NES only releases.

sorry for bad quality, taken with webcam
(http://i41.tinypic.com/2jaaixy.jpg)
finally picked up a CIB one of these. only $15 shipped! and its like NIB.
The reproduction of Earthbound that I received from yakuza had a very low quality label... So I removed it and got one from eBay.
It states that it's a reproduction in the lower left corner.
(http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u68/Evil_Vlad/FDDE3D7E-E2DC-4370-9AB5-5CB606D21963_zps61z4nrk8.jpg)
Cool, eh? It's for my own personal collection and I have no intent to sell it ever.
It's nice! You don't have to justify an Earthbound repro, I think you're pretty trusted and well-known here - I think you've been on these forums longer than I have.
L___E___T, thanks! I appreciate the kindness.
Its a nice cartridge. I really like that universal adapter as wwll. Can you post a couple pictures of that?
And yeah. I remember you posting way back when I first joined.
Edit.
I just checked. I registered 7 or 8 months beforehand. :p
Its a great adapter, super high quality and totally worth the purchase. I sold my SNES after I got the adapter, as I no longer need a SNES.
I prefer Super Famicoms design anyways.

That's really cool. Where would someone go to get that?
Alao, I agree with you about the design of the SFC . It looks much nicer.
I stumbled on it during a eBay search.
http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?type=1&campid=5335817826&toolid=10001&mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fitm%2F271338436252
I bid and won for $17.50 with 3 games. NintendoAGE members told me it's easily a $45 converter, just keep an eye on eBay.
I found this while searching for some games... these games are for GameBoy!

Arrived yesterday, it's the 'Disk Writer' equivalent of Mother 2. Bought the cart not knowing what was on it for super cheap. Was sold as-is and I was going to use the shell for a Super Everdrive, but I'll have to keep it now :)
Yo Smeghead,
I see a Trip World in there! That one's worth some money.
Wow yes, great find indeed!

Now that is an awesome find! Congrats!
Thanks, still need to find an English copy to actually play though...
Was thinking of getting a loose mother 2 cart and re flashing it with Earthbound. Would that be so bad? Not sure what they go for.

Go ahead and do it, Mother 2 is $20 on ebay. I love my repro of Earthbound, I couldn't have afforded it otherwise.

We sell quite a few of that kind of stuff, no I don't think it is so bad. :D
What do you mean, you own a store?
Nice picks Pikkon! I remember when Dino City first came out and I read all about it in Mean Machines. I really loved that artwork, Dinosaurs the TV show was popular around that time and I guess it struck a chord.
Yes, I do.
Dino City is a bit rare btw, I have never had it.
Dino City? Is that a different game from the SFC Dino Wars in your pic Fred?
**oops, nevermind. Google tells me that's the western version release. I'm not very knowledgeable about what was released in the US/EU ;D

I agree. I used to have a loose copy. It's a great game.
Ordered this Wii U gem today:

Had a rough year so I wasn't able to get much for Christmas, this is what I got.
(http://gyazo.com/f22fcf7565904661abd92d7b1fd07798.png)
But, I'm quite glad because thanks to this purchase, I now have CIB copies of my all-time favorites.
(http://i.imgur.com/58IvL1g.png)
Hope things turn up better for you in 2014. Regardless, your 2013 pickups are no slouches that's for sure.
CIB copies of Ninja Warriors Again, Solbrain, Kage, Hammerin' Harry 1 and Bucky are tops in my book ;)
.
You have great taste in games, I respect people who appreceite good games. It takes a true gamers to see the greatness of Kage (blue shadow).
Any particular reason you bought Ganbare Goemon 2 specifically?

Thank you, Stealthlurker. Your pickups never fail to impress. I was starting to think I'd never find Ninja Warriors CIB, so I was quite pleased to get it.

Thanks Fred, I feel the same way. Kage is a masterpiece... for a good 7 years of my life, I was intent on believing it to be the closest a ninja game will ever come to perfection, until I played Ninja Warriors Again earlier this year.
I first gained interest in the Goemon series after playing Wai Wai World 2, I quickly grew fond of all aspects of Goemon's quirky Edo theme. The music, backgrounds, enemies, etc. However, at this point in time I didn't own a Super Famicom, so all I would have been able to play were the earlier Goemon games on original Famicom. Never been too big on top-down adventure games, so I passed on them despite being able to appreciate its characters. Naturally, when I got a Super Famicom and started to build my library, Ganbare Goemon 2 was on the top of my to-play list, as I saw a few short YouTube clips of the game, and noticed it was more of a traditional platformer, the thing I'd be into. So I got myself a (cart only) copy of the game and played it without knowing what to expect besides a Konami platformer with a beautiful ancient Japanese theme, and what I experienced happened to be the greatest game I've had the pleasure of playing.

The super fami games I got from ebay at a really awesome price,the final fantasy soundtracks I found at my local goodwill for next to nothing and shenmue was 5 bucks at my local record store.
Finally got my Super Fami today.

I already opened her up to see what motherboard is in it and now I can component mod it.
Nice! How easy are they to component mod? Maybe I should do mine - do you have an online guide to check the motherboard?
That's a nice Super Famicom, mine has been repaired unfortunately it was case cracked and then remoulded in a few areas.
Nice system. I love my super famicom. That and my sega genesis are my main gaming systems right now. I use my wii for netflix and my ps3 and 360 to play my avi's lol.

You have to solder on the s-enc chip and install some component jacks but if your handy with a soldering iron its not that difficult .
As for checking which motherboard you have you need to crack her open,the mod only works on the following revisions.
SHVC-CPU-01
SNS-CPU-GPM-01
SNS-CPU-GPM-02

Love the SFC.... 16bit is my favorite gaming generation of all time.
.
Cheers Pikkon! Gonna check it out later today. May not adjust it, as I'm picking up a US SNES Mini specifically for RGB, but if it'll be interesting to know. Thanks again.
I agree 16-bit is the golden generation, but if only there was a system that could combine the speed and sound of Megadrive with the visuals of Super Famicom...
I don't feel that Neo Geo quite pulls that off. Saturn absolutely does, but is obviously a 32-bit maschine with a shift in focus, for me it's all about sprites, sprites and more sprites.
So I guess CPS2 is my favourite 'platform' of all time in that sense. CPS3 is more powerful, but I don't like the scaling effects personally and the CD audio nearly as much.
The snes mini produces some of the nicest rgb,is it going to come with the rgb mod.
And since Im in the US me doing component on a snes is the closes I can get to rgb,
(http://i41.tinypic.com/2qjkcig.jpg)
finally got sealed gameboy color.first time in 15 years :-[
Here's what I found while I was on my trip.
(http://i.imgur.com/ldvgN7T.png)
The Flintstones is honestly one of the best Mega Drive games I've played, similar to the two NES Flintstones games, but even better. (Albeit with fewer levels.)
Nice finds! Another yay for Dino City :)
Thanks! Yeah I did play the first stage of Dino City this evening, it seemed pretty fun. I'll get into it more (and hopefully beat it) in the morning.
If you can beat it in one day I'll be mildly impressed, it's not as easy as I expected.
Done.
(http://gyazo.com/8725c2589c16f41e2af208f0a750ba5f.png)
I gotta say, the final boss was so easy I couldn't believe I had finished the game. The platforming demonstrated some creative ideas, and definitely forced me to learn the stage layouts. The bosses (while extremely easy) were equally as creative, and I enjoyed fighting them, although I wish they died just a bit less quickly. I used the purple team, by the way.
Overall, not disappointed with Dino Wars, and I'll definitely be replaying it in the near future. On a side note, I absolutely LOVE how the box-art looks like it was drawn by the same artist as that of Kaiketsu Yanchamaru 2. In fact, it just might be.

Well I'm in the US and I've got 8 true analog RGB capable CRTs. You have to look around though. The easiest to find for us folks stateside are Sony PVMs (pro grade level CRTs - non consumer models). These were used by film and tv studios. If you google them, you'll find that there are quite a few gamers out there hunting these down for retro RGB greatness in the states. Many of the biggest game related messageboards have at least one big thread dedicated to them.
For example:
http://www.neo-geo.com/forums/showthread.php?238415-CRT-Fetish-Thread
.
Not a rarity by any means (well, maybe in the US it is) but I am quite happy to have a new Kirby game to play today (and distract me from my college work :P ).

I bought some interesting games locally for the first time in several months today. I picked up Alien vs. Predator and Doom for the SNES, and a CIB Boogerman for the Genesis.
i have a big find coming soon..(1-2 months) 150 +/- nintendo games (NTSC-J) for $175. can;t wait to post pics for y'all
I love those kind of hauls, so much to dig in to. When I first started collecting I got a 100 or so games from Hit-Japan for $100 - there were plenty of good ones in there too! I only got it for repros, but job lots are not to be sniffed at!

One of these days, I swear I am going to get my hands on a SF Game Doctor 3, 6 or 7 :P
This GAMARS FC-301 copier is pretty neat. It is only the 16mbit version but it appears to have been upgraded to 32mbit of RAM.
One thing I find strange is that I can use it without the power adapter. Can anyone tell me why this is?

Something of an online-find.
I couldn't think of the appropriate thread.
So it reprograms a real cartridge in RAM with just button inputs on the controller? That's amazing!!
Totally forgot to post this.
I component modded a super fami,came out great but now I really don't need it as I have one just like it,might end up selling her soon.

I really don't know and was hoping somebody could explain it! ???
Well that's what the article says. It seems they are exploiting some bug that tricks the CPU to read the controller input data as program code. Then they just input the code they want to make pong and snake etc and the CPU reads that code.
The program they used to do this must be connected directly to the controller port pins I guess, because just hitting the buttons would require extremely fast (we are talking micro seconds) and extremely exact button mashing.
Haven't been going to work lately due to sickness, so not too many additions on my end. I did manage to get a couple nice things via a sale, however...

Nangoku Shounen Papuwa-Kun for Super Famicom, and this neat Mario sensu fan because why not. Papuwa was one of my favorite anime, which made an already brilliantly-designed platformer that much more enjoyable. Sadly I had to use a bunch of continues for my first time beating it... I'll try to give it a proper one-credit run today.
I think, i've got GameBoy flashcart ???

Top-notch picks, have fun with Ganbare Goemon 2 especially. Undoubtedly my favorite SFC game.
Thanks dude,Ganbare Goemon 2 was the last one for me to get,now I have all of them. :D
A few more pickups in the recent haul... lots more to go
G1 Autobot and Decepticon LD boxsets and the rarer version of the jpn TF Movie LD (also VHS version).

Stealthlurker I have the same one - absolutely minty new with the obi, BUT, mine is VHS instead of laserdiscs :)
Awesome finds as usual - where can one get a Viewlix model from? I keep asking for one of those cabs at work :D
Is there more to come from the mega haul??
Spoiler
This is what I got when I googled /mega haul'
(http://www.dynamitebaits.com/application/uploads/assets/cache/1145_300_200_90.jpg)
That's interesting, didn't know VHS tapes came with obis.
The Vewlix models are available through Amazon Japan. The pre-orders for the blue version 2s should be shipping this month. Unfortunately they won't ship this item overseas, so you'll have to use a middleman service or friend in Japan to order.
Yeah, a lot more stuff. So far I've received 3 really large boxes worth of stuff. However I've been lazy to unpack it all, update my spreadsheets, etc etc because work has been really busy.... so I'm tired when I get home. Also this coming week I'll be out of town (for work).... then next month I'm off to Vienna Austria for another week for work again :(
Plus I should have a couple more large boxes worth of stuff en route haha. Should be quite a few really choice famicom related goods and of course NeoGeo ;D
.
Can't wait to see those!
May have to ask a certain friend from Japan t help me out on the Viewlix model :)
The obi on the Scitron set is around the box itself by the way - the VHS tapes are sealed like your LDs and sat in the foam like the CDs are, there are two of them like the LDs. I'd rather have the LD version, as those VHS tapes are not going to last forever sealed or not.

Oh man, you got Papuwa too? Great call on that one, it's among my favorite SFC games now.
My latest additions.
(http://i.imgur.com/CxZGCXE.png)
Ghost Sweeper Mikami (Undoubtedly my favorite of the bunch, just loving it. Definite top 10 SNES status.)
Mickey Tokyo Disneyland No Daibouken
Ranma 1/2: Chougi Ranbu Hen
Magical Quest
Violinist of Hameln
wholeheartedly agree on Ghost Sweeper Mikami. That's the SFC game I play most frequently. Nothing ground breaking, but it executes the classic action plaftormer style so, so well. It also helps that I was a fan of the old anime and the overall theme of "ghost bustin" / "supernatural horror" in general.
.
I too have grown fond of the anime, I started watching it while I was waiting for the game to arrive, and I adored it almost as much as the game itself. But yeah, the gameplay seems to me like a cross between Choujin Sentai Jetman, and Kabuki Quantum Fighter. Near-perfect game.
I remember one of the Ranma 1/2 fighting games is cool; I made a video of it. But don't remember which it was. You can press L to taunt the opponent, hehe.
I have to show this find, "Case Boy"
(http://img.tradera.com/images/452/183081452_7511e2bf-b3ed-4b24-b4f0-ce33f84374cb.jpg)
In the box is a screen protector that makes the screen more brown, LOL. Makes my game boy heart pound.
The case boy sounds interesting. I'm going to have to keep an eye out for that.
A bit more from my recent haul
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v337/jviloria/January2014/SetA/Posters/DariusPosters_Small_zps3d561e64.jpg~original)
.
You can get a Case Boy relatively cheap these days - I know someone on Instagram that bought one just for their Castlevania colection (look at the screen on the box)...
less than 80 bucks? I'm also surprised I don't see any on YJ.... at least the other day when I checked.
.
Pretty sure I got mine brand new for less than that - I'll do some digging.
There's this one you could get for 60 but it's not new:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nintendo-Game-Boy-CASE-BOY-Konami-RU001-Import-Japan-Gameboy-2489-/360703174037?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item53fb95a595
I assume you're talking GBP ;D
Yeah that one is pretty worn out. Maybe the pickins are just slim right now.
.
No it's USD, 70 bucks but I think he'd take 60 as it's crumpled.
I think I have mine at far too low price... :-[ Thanks for the link, I'll raise it.
Think is, these things don't sell, it is too much niche. No matter how rare.
But they ARE hard to find. I have not seen one in my 2-3 years of buying/selling. You can find it at hit-japan because no one buys it.
Also, the box should contain the screen protector, straps, and other things. I can't tell if hit-japan's has that.
I'm surprised you say that, I've come across quite a few just in the last year. You're right though - they don't sell. Nice collector piece but as a product back then they were pretty redundant.

Nice, I don't know what it is.
I was never into bot things, although I remember I actually did own a transformer but I got tired of it soon.
When I was in elementary school I loved robots and what nots. Then about 10 years ago, I got really big into them again... more so than videogame stuff. Just this past year I sorta got back into them a wee bit.

A bit more from the haul... not too exciting for most, but been after this one for a while. The JPN PC version of Gradius Deluxe Pack.

.
That is absolutely lovely - how are the PC ports themselves?
Haven't tried it yet. Some are hit or miss. The 90s port of Splatterhouse for japanese PC is probably the best version (more so than the FM Towns port), whereas Layer Section/Rayforce isn't very good. Hopefully this one is good, but to me it's more about the niche aspect of this item.
A bit more...

EMM. DEE. GEIST.
Still remember that trailer - they're so awesome :)
I'll admit, I saw the thread was updated an was secretly hoping for a luxe Dark Souls II haul from you..
Haha, sorry I'm not a Dark Souls kind of guy.
.
WHUTT.. I'd have thought it's exactly your thing? I struggled to get into the 1st, this is already much more my kind of game.
Yeah, especially these days I tend to gravitate towards more arcadey type games. Something you can play for 30 minutes and be out. In general though I'm not into RPGs. I did play some RPGs when I was in elementary school (usually action not turn based though) then retired from them. I came out of "retirement" once though to play and beat Link to the Past. Also played an hour or two on Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy VII, some of the more recent Ys and Dragonquest games... but not enough to "seriously" play them. Who knows maybe one day I'll get back into it.
What does interest me though is the potential for the Occulus Rift. I've got one of the dev units and think it would be fantastic for survival horror and action dungeon crawler RPGs. Maybe when the next, improved version of the rift comes out and more triple A titles come out for it I might get sucked in.
.
I really want to get one of the HD ones scheduled for this year I think? Someone got a Virtual Boy emulator running on it too - great stuff.
I do think you should reconsider DS2 though - that's exactly how I play it - in bursts and as an action game, you can do it :)

Stealthlurker, I'm glad I am not the only one who still collects Laser Disks! The cover art and boxes are beautiful, and I love all the stuff the disks come with like liner notes and art books.
Totally Jess, the cover art is the main draw for me... all the nice little touches, booklets and what nots that come with these are fantastic too.

A few more... Irem themed.
Irem Madonna cab metal panel. Nearly fully enclosed minus a slit on the back. Previous owner looks like me put 4 very sturdy rubber feet on the bottom. Would make a great console stick or supergun.

Yeah, I've never even seen Sakigake Otokojuku, but I looked up a gameplay video and just adored that HnK-esque artstyle. Fine taste as always, Stealth.
Thanks
Yes, the brown shipping boxes are just as exciting as the contents lol
Yeah I miss the anime style of that era. By the way there's also a famicom game for the series too:

Nice loots :d love those old Konami LCD games - they were huge I remember a Ninja turtles one.
I have that LOK2 sales poster as well, but is that a 3rd Strike cassette tape I see??
Those tapes are known as "Capcom Friendly Club Style" tapes from the 90s. Basically a video magazine that goes over the happenings over at Capcom. Really cool tours of the Capcom offices, the making of commercials, tours of the music facilities... all sorts of neat stuff.

Oh my god, that Keio Flying Squadron 2 poster is amazing. What are the odds, I was just about to post my recent additions. I finally got back into Japanese Saturn games, via the Action Replay cart, and it just so happens one of the games I got along with it is...
(http://i.imgur.com/344SffE.png)
And then I got these.
(http://i.imgur.com/IRKZ0Xo.png)
And finally for the 3DO.
(http://i.imgur.com/HCcFkFx.png)
Edit: Wow, didn't even see that copy of Ganryu. Nice, I'm still so bitter that game never got ported to any consoles.
We're in sync! Keio 2's a really nice and polished game. Congrats! Those action replay ram carts are great. That was my main way to play all the cool snk or capcom ports in the 90s. Yeah Ganryu was actually only ever released on MVS (arcade format). The one in the pic is a homecart conversion. In fact the entire bottom row are special conversions of MVS only titles. Homecart versions are called AES.
On a side note... mailman dropped off some small packages today ;D

Oh nice, you got Chrono Phantasma! Really cool extras. But yeah I remember playing Ganryu in an arcade and praying it got a home release on Dreamcast or PS1 or something... sure enough, I checked and was devastated to see it's an MVS exclusive. Someday I might save up for a consolized MVS or something, Ganryu is a sweet game. It's a shame a lot of Neo Geo fans complain about it being too basic for the hardware, saying it's like "an NES game with Neo Geo graphics". How the hell is that a bad thing? An ACTION game being reminiscent of the NES, where ACTION games were arguably at their finest? ...But I digress.
Yeah, I wish there were more games like Ganryu on the Neo. It's kind of like their take on a Ninja Spirit/Ninja Gaiden type action platformer. A Shinobi-like title would have been awesome too. Though it kind of makes sense... in the decade the Neo was alive and kicking, those types of arcade games weren't very popular anymore like in the 80s.
By the way, nice pickup on the YuYu Hakusho for 3DO. That game and the Sailormoon fighting game were the ones that peaked my interest in import 3DO games. I remember briefly seeing them running in a game shop overseas in the 90s. It's just a shame there aren't too many import games on the 3DO at all beyond maybe 5-10 worth tracking down imho. Eye of Typhoon is a cool cancelled NeoGeo fighting game... but it's incredibly rare and was only available in Korea.
.
Yeah, the Neo Geo seems perfect for fighting game/shoot 'em up fans, but leaves very little choices in terms of platforming.
Thanks, it just so happens Sailor Moon was the very reason I purchased my 3DO... alongside the great ports of SSF2T and Samurai Shodown. Any other 3DO imports you'd recommend? The only one left on my wanted list is Puzzle Bobble. Eye of Typhoon looks great, but yep, it's a shame about its rarity, so I doubt I'll ever find a copy. Do you have the Hori fightpad for 3DO? They're pretty tough to find but I got lucky purchasing mine along with my 3DO system. Really great controller for fighting games, I'd say its just a step below the Saturn pad in terms of quality.
Also, I did win a game on eBay last night, which I've been trying to find CIB for a while now. I'll post a picture when it arrives, I'd guess you're familiar with it, given our similar taste in games.
The 3DO Hori pad is pretty neat, congrats! I don't have one yet. For fighters I use that Panasonic joystick. It's pretty good. They also make SNES to 3DO adapters at Tototek for $18. There's a "slightly more" official one too. Then there are ps1 to 3DO adapters (nice for the Hori Real Arcade Pro joysticks). Back in the 90s, a kid in my neighborhood had a giant custom 2 player 6 button panel for the 3DO to play Super SF2 Turbo. It was made of real arcade parts down to the laminate and t-molding. Think of a MAS Supergun joystick, but a 2 player panel. It was pretty awesome playing SSF2T on that thing.
Besides what you mentioned, for "good" import only good games... not much....
- Ultraman Powered is kinda interesting if you're into Ultraman
- Policenauts
- Crayon Shinchan puzzle game (kinda like Puyo Puyo)
- Furopon World Warp (another puzzle game)
- Royal Pro Wrestling by Natsume (pretty good!)
Speaking of Eye of Typhoon, check this out! :o Never thought I'd see a picture of the box!

Is RTERO good? I thought about it but didn't take the bait.
Cool magazines, Stealthlurker. God I hope that Master System issue contains mention of Land of Illusion...
It's a good write up overall, can't remember about LOI but I remember a lot about Ecco :)
Thanks gang
Also thanks for the offer LET. Mainly was looking for back issues that are out of stock now. If you see the issue with Axelay on the cover let me know! ;D
RETRO is alright. Actually the 2nd issue came in the post a few days ago. Have yet to thumb through it. Though these mags today don't have the magic of mags in the past....

I have the Axelay edition, I have most of them as I get sent them free. It's read and won't necessarily be all minty fresh, but it's yours if you would like it.
If you don't have it already, I'd also recommend the Hardware Edition. I don't have Vol 2 yet.

It's not Lego or something like that. Tomika is Japan's equivalent to Matchbox or Hot Wheels in the States.

Picked up Yar's Revenge and Haunted House for the 2600. They were both stickered at $3.00, but the cashier applied random discounts and I got them for $2.25 and $1.50 ;D
The thrift store had an unusually large amount of Odyssey II carts, as well, but I didn't pick any up since I don't have the console. Oh, and there was a Hitachi TV/Monitor for $26. Wasn't plugged in and weighed a ton, so I left it behind. Thinking about going back for it later this week, though.

Bahahaha. I love that Hokuto Musou ad, Stealthlurker. Played the English version of that on 360, enjoyed it quite a bit.
Nice to see other Hokuto no Ken fans here ;D Yeah it's great to see this franchise continue to get support throughout the years. Waiting for part 2 to drop to $20 bucks before I pick it up.

I have the alarm clock somewhere, I had the art book too signed but gave it to a friend. I know someone at TK that sorted me out.
i just got wagyan land 3 in the mail :v
i also have some random <$4 namcot cartridge coming in the mail, the plan is to take the board outta wl3 and put it in the other games case, so all my cartridges are roughly the same size (WL3 cartridge was damaged already, so nothing of value is being lost)
i used the famicom label template posted somewhere on FW and threw this label together
(http://puu.sh/805I0/8d48f52741.jpg)
hopefully the label size isnt too far off... i can always change it in the future though

Since I had no pal snes games I needed a way to test her out so I disabled the lockout chip and it works a treat.
Going to restobrite this console as its pretty yellow and I know people are going to ask why did you get a pal snes.
For one I won it on ebay for 15.99$ shipped and plus my vizio can do pal/50hz.
That's a solid price!

An HnK alarm clock? Did it wake you up with an ATATATATATATA! ? ;D
Signed book by Buronson? Sweet!

That's the one, yes! I was not 'allowed' to use it lol ;)
The book was really nice, signed by the JP Producer, I gave it to a friend who is a massive HnK fan.
If I can find the alarm clock, would you like it? It's packed away somewhere..
I think I might have one or similar, but thanks again for the thought. You're so generous! :)
Now you got me curious as to what book you're referring to... might have to look around. Though it wouldn't be as cool as producer signed.

Wow, that clock does sound positively badass. I don't really have any HnK stuff, aside from a few games.
Guess I'll show what I got today. Here's the game I won on eBay...

That would be yet another system though, I haven't broken in my Megadrive yet (still saving for an Everdrive MD)!
Oh, here's that clock and art book by the way:

On the right, you'll see it was also in the JP Special Edition, so if you got that you will have that art book (in Nihongou).
You and I seem to have similar tastes Nightstar699 ;D All excellent picks.
Thanks for the pic LET. Ah so it's the more recent treasure box. I was imagining a book from the 80s or 90s.
I recently found this http://www.ebay.com/itm/SALE-Nintendo-non-official-product-Portable-Famicom-Console-FC-POCKET-JAPAN-/221392371078?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item338c037d86. I wasn't expecting a whole lot seeing as it is a famiclone, but I have been surprised. I haven't had a lot of time to mess with it yet, but it works well with my famicom games as well as my US nes games. I like the design aesthetics of this famiclone as compared to my FC Mobile II.
I just tried my copy of Castlevania 3 and it doesn't work.. (Sigh) :'(
I saw that some time back and considered getting one - how's the screen?
It's not that bad the colors aren't off too much. It is just small. I think it could have been a little bigger. I can try and upload some pics later if you would like. One of my biggest complaints is that with a converter and NES game attached to the FC Pocket they feel very flimsy, but I shook it around to see if it would crash and to my surprise it didn't . This system is much easier to get my clean NES games to work on unlike my FC Mobile II.
Here is my photo bucket with some pics of the FC Pocket in action: http://s1193.photobucket.com/user/modeltfordman/library/Famicom%20Pocket%202014?sort=3&page=1.
I had just finished playing The Legend of Zelda and decided that I had change to Super Mario Bros 3. ( I just recently re watched The Wizard)
Also the built in 88 games are not that good I believe they are all pirates.
Haha, I just got one of those in my recent shipment from Japan. Haven't de-bubble wrapped it yet (so haven't tested yet). I was attracted to it because this portable looks like the gameboy micro fami edition.
I never thought about that hahah. It does look like a gba micro famicom.

Little back story on this Panzer Galient toy... the summer in the 80s when I got my first famicom while on vacation overseas, also got a toy exactly like the one below. Well decades later, I still have that original famicom but the toy was lost a loooong time ago. Now it hath returned ;D Takes me back to that summer and discovering the world of the Japanese famicom for the first time.

What does that box do? Is it an upscaler?

Actually the reverse, it's a downscaler ;D
Takes say a 31khz signal like VGA down to 15khz 240p for a nice RGB CRT monitor.
.
Ah I get you. Was it expensive? Seems like a niche little utility.
They go for about 100 bucks these days. Most people use them for:
1. Emulator PCs (arcade/console)
2. New systems with retro styled games
3. Putting an xbox 360 in an arcade machine to play all the japanese shmups for cheap (ie not buying the multi 100 dollar or thousand dollar arcade boards)
Congratulations on finally re-purchasing a beloved childhood toy, Stealthlurker. That SNK shirt is interesting, but... who is that on the front of it? Almost looks like Boku Dracula Kun.

Man I really think I might have to get a Saturn at some point - Saturn games are really coming into their own aren't they.
That would be yet another system though, I haven't broken in my Megadrive yet (still saving for an Everdrive MD)!
I can't possibly recommend the Saturn enough... just make sure that you get either a Japanese Saturn, or at least an Action Replay to play imports (as I do). I got my Saturn at a flea market years ago for 5 bucks, but it's gone mostly unused since then, just because North American Saturn packaging is so unappealing, the library is so limited, and the games are so pricey. But since getting back into collecting JPN Saturn stuff just recently, it's quickly became my favorite thing to collect. You'd love it, it's pretty much
THE best system for fighters.
Thanks Nightstar699, I get nostalgic just looking at it. The guy on the shirt is G-Mantle, the original mascot for the NeoGeo before Terry Bogard of Fatal Fury. He makes little cameos in a lot of their games. I believe the drawing itself was taken from some issue of NeoGeoFreak magazine.
Saturn was also the shmup successor to the PC-Engine... lots of shmup goodness there. There's also a decent amount of side scrolling beat'em ups. Then a handfull of nice action platformers. All the genres I've mentioned are also 2D pixel/sprite based not 3D polygon stuff. In the early to mid 2000s lots of gamers were going gaga over import Saturn collecting ;D I think it's died down now and everyone's all gaga over JPN SFC, MD, PC-Engine, famicom and arcade stuff.
picked this up a few weeks ago. not an amazing find but still pretty cool

$4.99 at thrift store :diskkun:
Oh, nice. It's been ages since I've found anything Fami(com/clone) related locally.

It all makes sense now! I'll have to look out for him next time I play KOF 2000. I've wanted to get into PC-Engine for a while now, mainly since I'm just
dying to play Ninja Spirit. The problem is, every time I get money I'm always distracted by various other games I want, sooo... I've put off on the PC Engine for a real long time now. Maybe someday, for now I'm just really into Saturn and SFC.
I agree on the Saturn comment... The problem here is that non-Japanese got such a limited game library that the system became regarded as a loser-system. Another problem is that so many of the best games are hard to find. Like recently when I had fun with Three Dirty Dwarves that I had never hard about before.
When I ask myself why I don't like the PS1 library as much it is because it was so flooded with games, many of which are surprisingly uninspired.
I recommend Ninja Spirit! It's a wonderful game and one that I think Nightstar would like!
There are a lot of nice 2D PS1 games.... in Japan ;D
On a side note...

Yea,couldn't believe finding it. because normally the only thing at thrift stores in my area are old clothes and coffee mugs...
Also,stealthlurker,nice Gangfeng collection. i have the solid blue colored one non color/backlight one. been meaning to get the color one for a while now...
The thread you guys were posting in got my interest. Very informative, thanks!
I keep reading about the GB Boy and the screen looks great as you say, but it isn't fully compatible with all games, has some sound issues, and I don't like how the D-pad looks. I'll stick to my GBC for now. Just need a good lamp.
Usually I play GB with my Super Game Boy anyways. :)
Incidentally, a few days ago my colleague sent me a custom frontlighted GBC (original, "berry") that I should try out.
(http://img.tradera.com/medium/452/185427452_87bff42f-d3a1-47b6-bdf9-65f879a62073.jpg)
Am impressed by everything other than the N8 Everdrive Deluxe.. It's a lot extra for a case and paper.
You can still get my Konami shell if you like! :D
Yeah the GB boy sounded interesting and it was cheap. There are lots of other ways to play original GB/GBC nicely. Eventually I want to get one of those Rose Colored Gaming custom GBs and GBAs. Very, very nice.
I'm not into "do it yourself" type of projects anymore. I just want to buy something pre-made and nice right out the gate if possible. Reason why it took me so long to get a famicom everdrive. The deluxe's were out of stock for a while.
But hey... I didn't pull the trigger on a Megadrive Everdrive deluxe because I hate the packaging and use of a US Genny cart shell. Would you be willing to customize one for me in a Japanese style cart shell, stick and case insert for a fee? ::)
Nope, I'll do it for free though (if you send a shell). I need to do it myself but I keep spending money on other things.
Trouble is, I''ll need the Mega Everdrive PCB to trim the shell, so if you can hang on til I get one I'll do it.
Didn't realise you never picked up a Famicom Everdrive, you won't look back!
Oddly enough, it made me play games a lot more - but actually made me go out and buy a whole bunch of loose carts. I tend to get really into a game on the ED, then pick up the cart. I've managed to build up a nice collection of around 100 good carts that way, but there's still a few I'd like. Trouble is I'm into the expensive ones now like Doropie and Moon Crystal.
When are you planning to get the Everdrive MD? I may get one instead of a WiiU in May, Retrogate have them in stock I think. Then I'll just need a loose JP MD cart.
Did you Wiggy's latest GBAs? SNES and SFC themed!

Finally got a Dreamcast yesterday! I've wanted one since high school, so it's great to finally have one. It's super clean inside and out, aside from a few blemishes. I think it'll play backups, but I don't have a working disk drive to try and burn anything. I need to get more games now...

Got around to processing more stuff from my mega haul from Japan a while back. Decided to tackle famicom related stuff I could find in the shipping boxes. Here are some of them. Lots more famicom goodness to come! ;D
Got another boxed fami twin. This time the AN-500R. Also a Disk Writer fami diskette storage unit, mini Super Mario Bros boardgame, Famicom gun & holster, Tokyo Game Show Nintendo Sign and accompanying Gold Mario statue and fami Robot setup.

Oh wow, impressive as always, Stealth. That Segata figure is a real beaut, how difficult/expensive are those to acquire? I wouldn't mind getting one for myself, thanks to my recently discovered love for the Sega Saturn.
I don't know too much about this figure. Saw it from a friend's collection and had to get one myself ;D. I don't see any on Ebay right now, but on Yahoo Japan Auctions there are 3 available.
One has a current bid of 1,000 yen. The other two are at a min bid of 9,000 and 10,000 yen. Hope that helps!
Ah, thanks. I was expecting it to be upwards of 10,000 yen, so I guess I wasn't too far off. I'll look into getting one eventually, for now I got a new console just the other day, so I'll have a decent update to post early next week.
Impressive finds!! Can't wait to see more of the SEGA stuff!
I don't think I've ever seen that white gun box before - what is it? Would you mind showing some closer pics? I'm really intrigued as to what's inside!
I'll try and snap some pics for you in the near future. Right now I'm trying to ramp up "the processing" of this stuff. My computer room is a mess with packages :-[ so I'd like to make some real progress in cutting it down and dumping the packing material at least

Wow, more amazing stuff - how does your wife put up with it all? :D
Sometimes I have to bring stuff home in secret so my lady won't interrogate haha.
I think the NG laserdisc is the best part - I love the OVA art as it was used for the NG3 handbill, box and game etc.
Seen the VHS kicking about but never the Laser Disc, a very nice find! I have the OVA saved digitally, have you seen it? It's decent I think.
that DK Country board game is fricken sweet
i always look forward to seeing your amazing finds :o
Yeah a friend of mine had a tape copy back in the 90s. We thought it was pretty neat back then. For a while I only ever saw tapes. Then a buddy of mine got an LD. Since then I've been hard on the hunt. These suckers are rare. Now I'm on the hunt for the Salamander OVAs on LD. Those guys are very rare too :(
Yeah I've got a thing now for those videogame themed boardgames. So quirky and out of the norm. Exactly the type of thing I'm into these days.
I've got some other really unique Famicom related goods still in bubble wrap in the boxes. I'll post them in a few days or so.

My coworkers sneak in stuff like that haha. My dad also has me order golf clubs and have them shipped to my house. I give him a call when they arrive and he hides them in his trunk until the evening when he can slip them into one of his bags. ;D
I usually keep everything neat and tidy (maybe even OCD haha). I myself don't like seeing game stuff all the over the house. I also prefer to have stuff stored in cabinets with doors. Sometimes I'm just not in the mood to see a wall of games. I think being like that and keeping a strong grip on the finances gives me freedom to do this type of collecting. Although it helps once in a while to present a spontaneous gift of this season's hot handbag, shoes, etc LOL
You get all this stuff, and handbags, and still keep a strong grip on the finances? That's pretty staggering, Famicom collecting has nearly ruined me..
I suppose it's all relative.
I marvel at one of the guys I work with that collects helicopters. Real, full size actual working helicopters. He's got about 12 now. One of them being one of the largest helicopters ever built. Back in the 90s he was commissioned to have it used (he piloted it too) in the Godzilla movie with Mathew Broderick. I remember one time at work, he was playing the movie and showing me the little bits of the movie where he and the helicopter was pictured in scenes. Supposedly, they were going to use his copter and services again in the new movie. Studio was going to ship him and his copter over to Hawaii for filming, but they decided to use CG instead to save money.
...On top of all that! ... A few months ago he got a business class Jet! Now that's crazy!
Did a tiny bit more unpacking last night. Missed out on these "SEGA Bokuno Gamecenter" toys several years ago and finally was able to track down a few. Love mini stuff like this in general. At one time I had 2 real full sized versions of the SEGA Astro City arcade cabinets. Only have one now.

I really like the X68000 releases - something about the boxes and disks, they're so Japanese 90s maybe? Either way, they have a lot of charm.
I discovered Viewpoint recently, love the animations in that game. Do you have Akumajou Dracula X68000 as well? I nearly bought Final Fight once during a FF obsession but snapped out of it!

Where do you guys find all these great stuff??? What websites? Besides Ebay and Yahoo Japan..? ???
Yeah the x68000 boxes are fantastic. Some are in hard plastic cases with a clear front. The art books/instruction manuals are amazing too (Gradius II). The actual games themselves are pretty amazing as well.... especially considering Capcom used these computers to develop CPS arcade games.
Yup, I've got Akumajou, Final Fight, Strider etc on x68k. Here's my small, but growing collection

im excited to say i picked something up yesterday on YAJ for the whopping price of 1 Yen ...

but if i didn't bid it , surely it would have gone in the trash bin.

The Castlevania installment on X68K does look to be pretty solid, someday I need to get the PS1 version of that. Incredible collection, as always.
@wholesalewatch648 - that's one of the hard things to get used to at first... a lot of times in the beginning I noticed that the cost of the actual item was far less than all the other fees, haha. Any hints on what you rescued? :D
@Nightstar699 - yeah definitely check out Castlevania Chronicles on PS1. If you like classical styled Castlevanias vs the Metroidvania trend, you'll really dig it. It's probably my favorite Castlevania to play... more so that SotN.
You can play CV Chronicles on PSP as well of course. I think AD X68000 is the most visually and audibly impressive actually. It's not as polished as Rondo of Blood but I think ity has more charm.
It certainly is great to watch longplays of on a rainy day mind:
Sharp:

PS:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5bU8jm5YHM8
Oh, I'd prefer it to SotN by a long shot. SotN looks and sounds great, sure, but I honestly can't stand Metroidvania type stuff. Chronicles/X68K just looks like a really solid entry to the classic gameplay style.
Was it on the PSP "Dracula X remix" thing? I forgot. I've beaten the Sharp version, but have yet to get around to beating Chronicles. I wish they made more Castlevanias like these. I hate Metroidvanias too.
On a side note, doing it up SEGA style today. If you know your JPN Megadrive library, the games below "shouldn't exist" ;)

i will give a hint : this game and its character were featured in the super smash bros series :yoshi:
Oh wow, a Japanese Master System release which was actually called the Master System. I didn't know such a thing existed until now. And what's that included with Super Shinobi, by the way?
@wholesalewatch648 ooh I'm at a bit of a disadvantage, was never a big smash brothers kind of guy :-[
@Nightstar699 what's unique about the japanese SMS too is that it has built-in "FM Sound" support which is not available on the Western SMS or stock on the SEGA Mark III (need the separate add-on). Supposedly FM Sound supported games are greatly enhanced.
The record with Revenge of Shinobi is a soundtrack for an 80s live action TV Show called Kage no Gundan. I used to watch it religiously every Sunday night. Feature Sonny Chiba and some fantastic ninja action. I put them together because it's another example of how the Japanese love to "steal" photos/art for their game covers ;D
I too am not big on Smash/party-style fighters, I'm just too dedicated to traditional one-on-one fighting games, a la Street Fighter or Samurai Shodown, Smash seems like a completely different world to me. Hm, I have heard the FM enhance soundtrack to Kenseiden (which is one of my favorite SMS games) and yeah, I gotta say it's pretty cool. Congrats on getting that, as much as I love the SMS (it's tied with Saturn as my favorite Sega console) my one complaint about it is just that the soundchip is... ugh. Just not a fan of it. Kage no Gundan sounds cool, always liked Sonny Chiba since I saw Kill Bill. I was thinking that record was a rare Super Shinobi soundtrack or something.
Also, my finds post will be coming in a few days. Just waiting for the last few games to arrive...
i am not a huge fan of fighting style games, but i like all things mario related , so its fall into that category.

I love the SMD and Kage no Gundan stuff. At first I thought the LP was of this:

Nice JP repros too - I'm doing something similar with Famicom games.
Really nice to see that JP SMS. I think I prefer the Mark III overall - it's almost like a Famicom equivalent perhaps. Maybe because we had a Mark 2 and Mark 1 SMS as kids. Alex Kidd, Asterix, Wonderbo 3 (Dragon's Trap) - so manygreat games. Can't wait to play through them on the Everdrive!
If there was an LP of that Yuzo Koshiro CD I'd be on the hunt :o
I love the Mark III too. That was the first one I picked up years ago. However I do love the 80s graph look of the SMS box and the idea of FM sound built-in. Back in the day I had the NES, famicom and SMS all lined up next to each other in my room. It was great to play either SEGA or Nintendo and have the option to play famicom games before they hit the NES. The biggest one was getting Super Mario Bros 3 months and months ahead. Made me somewhat of a legend in my neighborhood growing up haha.

Beautiful Mark III collection! I notice a copy of Kenseiden in there, which is possibly my favorite Master System game. I don't even have a Mark III (just an SMS) but I was considering getting a CIB copy of the Japanese version just since I love the game so much. Definitely give it a chance if you haven't already.
Thanks, it's a really old pic. Have picked up a lot more games since, but yeah I had Kenseiden on my original US SMS so I had to track it down for the ol' Mark III. Really liked it back then too, especially for the "atmosphere" of the game. I also played a ton of wonderboy in monsterland, golvellius, shinobi, double dragon, vigilante, black belt, etc....
One good thing about Mark III games, not a whole not of demand for them so prices haven't gone through the roof like on other platforms. There are also only a very few number of games that fetch triple digits. One of them is the japanese version of Bomber Raid. That's the only one I know of that averages 100-200 bucks a pop. Fortunately everything else is very reasonably priced.
Yeah, the atmosphere is among my favorite things about Kenseiden. Have you added a copy of Makai Retsuden (Japanese version of Kung Fu Kid) to your collection since that picture? Or maybe it's there and I'm just missing it, but that's another one of my favorite SMS games. I do notice Mark III games are reasonably priced, it's just the systems themselves that seem a bit pricey to acquire.
yesterday i saw an original xbox complete in box with the controllers etc priced at $24.99
i didn't go for it, because i thought there was no market for original xbox.
did i make a mistake :-\ or was it a good call

Couldn't agree more - I like the packaging of the SMS more, but the product design of the Mark III is just top notch, I nearly got a new Mark III, SG-2000 and SG-2000 from Japan-Games when i first started collectong but I passed them up.
Tell you what instantly caught my eye though - the boxed MD Adaptor - I really hope I can find one, even though the Mega Everdrive runs all the games - it just looks perfect sat on top. Finding a pristine one and a pristine Mega-CD Model 1 though will take some time and cost a fair chunk of bucks, so I'll wait. I know they can be found cheaply in Japan if you're patient.

Also, found your finds thread on Digit Press from years ago (image search). Looking at prices from 2006, is, depressing...
@Nightstar699 Yup I have that one. Feels like a mix of Black Belt/HnK, Kung Fu/SpartanX and Yie Ar Kung Fu all mashed up.
@wholesalewatch648 Xbox1 consoles are great for the r0ms.... I've got a modded xbox loaded up. Also Panzer Dragoon Orta is it (?), is pretty cool. Murakamo is pretty fun too. I forget what else I have that are neat exclusives.
@ L___E___T Another problem with gen 1 mega-cds are the reliability. Such a shame because it's such a cool design.
Tell me about it. The rise in prices due to demand on top of the dollar to yen exchange rate is killer. All the stuff I put off getting back then have nearly doubled. For example I waited on a couple Megadrive shmups. They were about 100 bucks back then... now they're 400-600 bucks! Crazy!! They just steadily shot up with no signs of slowing down. Some of those were in my previous wave and some in this current one yet to be posted.
On a side note... more LDs

These are kinda special. Live action movies, "The Seven Days War" (80s) and "The Seven Days War 2" (early 90s). Think of Goonies meets Toy Soldiers... really love this movie. Especially the first one.

I've never even watched a LaserDisc, but I can tell you the artwork on them looks magnificent, especially those Twinbee ones.
Well, here's the additions I made lately. After three years spent desiring one, I finally couldn't resist any longer (partially thanks to comments made here by Stealthlurker and P) and I got a PC Engine. The CoreGrafx model (since I really can't stand RF), and it included a free copy of Dungeon Explorer. (Albeit card only)
(http://i.imgur.com/Gd4OwSv.png)
And then here's the starter games I bought for the thing. I was unable to afford the PCE game of my dreams (Ninja Spirit), but I'll definitely get that in the near future.
(http://i.imgur.com/kBMpori.png)
(http://i.gyazo.com/214aeab34a39105df975dc929639ff1f.png)
Momotarou Katsugeki happened to be factory sealed before I opened and played the hell out of it.
(http://i.imgur.com/wnEALZu.png)
I gotta say, it really is the PCE's equivalent to Ganbare Goemon, and it plays marvelously. Highly recommended to anyone who hasn't tried it.
That's the main reason I collect LDs these days... the cover art is simply luscious imho.
Congrats on the PCE! I love that platform. It's like the famicom on steroids. Especially like your picks Youkai Douchuuki, Momotarou (that's the platformer one right?), Samurai Ghost 2 and Agedama. What games are you thinking about next? If you're a shmup fan, you picked the right platorm. :)
The first time I heard about a PC-Engine was on a long flight from Asia to the States in the late 80s. I happened to sit next to another kid with a gameboy (it had just come out). We ended up playing versus Tetris for the 18+ hr flight. We also talked about games in general too. I told him I was a big fan of the Family Computer. Well this kid's family had just left Japan.... so he was telling me that if you like Family Computer, you've got to check out PC-Engine. It wasn't until about the mid 90s I got my first taste of a PC-Engine game. Picked up Dracula X second hand from a local videogame shop for about 50 bucks. Luckily japanese discs work just fine on a US Turbo Duo.
Man, I wish I had such a neat story for how I got into PCE. For me it's as simple as that I viewed footage of Ninja Spirit years ago, and I was just dying to play it. But alas, Famicom stuff kept getting in the way. I envy you for getting to enjoy these games even back when they were new. I mean, without the convenience of online import stores, I could only imagine how cool it must have felt to have all these Japanese consoles, practically unobtainable to the average gamer at that time. I wonder if the kid you were sat next to also retains his love for import gaming to this day.
Yes sir, Momotaro Katsugeki is the platformer one! I think it very well might be the only Momotaro platformer outside of the Game Boy titles... which is a damn shame, because it's so much fun. I'd consider it my favorite PCE game thus far. Have you played Makai Prince Dorabochan? That's another one I've already fallen in love with, it reminds me so much of a Konami title. Mainly Kid Dracula (obviously) but with a little Gradius thrown in, what with the Moai heads everywhere, and all.
As for which games I'm thinking about next, there's tons I have in mind. In fact, I think for the next few months I'm going to focus on collecting nothing but PC Engine to knock out as many of these titles as possible... obviously Ninja Spirit is number one on my wanted list, but there's also Ninja Ryukenden, Gunhed, Hanata-Kadaka, Final Soldier, Splatterhouse, the Bonk games, Shubibinman 2 (not quite sure if I want the first one), the Takahashi Meijin game, SonSon II, Galaga 88, Bomberman original & 94, Shinobi (I already have the Master System version, but this seems to be quite a different experience), Salamander, Gradius, Parodius, Detana Twinbee, Street Fighter II (in which case I'd obviously need to get the 6-button controller, but that's fine), Legendary Axe I and II, Zipang, and lots others. If you have any other recommendations I might not have heard of, please feel free to let me know, because I think it's apparent that our taste in games is very much alike.
I'm pretty sure you're right about it being the only platformer outside of the GB. Which is a shame... I would have really loved one on the SFC at least. I have Dorabochan but truthfully I haven't put much time into it at all. Whenever I see the PCE cover I get it confused with the SFC/SNES version and think that it's an RPG... so I pass on playing it.
Ninja Gaiden on the PCE isn't that great imho, so I would probably put it lower on the list and wait for a really good deal. I think it's one of the games that fetches a little more than the average title too.
Off the top of my head in terms of HuCard games....
legend of hero tonma
hana taka daka
soldier blade
pc denjin
coryoon
aoi blink
tatsujin
magical chase
aero blasters
kato & ken
jacky chan
Getting into a new platform is really exciting. Discovering all sorts of titles new to you is a big part of the fun imho. :)
not the prettiest op-51 in the world but if i didn;t bid surely it would be in a trash bin somewhere.

My word! Beautiful Bomberman merch, Stealth. I think the notebook and pen have to be my favorite parts. Who's that on the back of the Hudson Soft coin, by the way? Can't recall ever seeing that character in a game.
Also, just wondering, do you collect US/PAL Master System stuff at all? I ask because I've been playing my SMS lately, and man so many of its best games were left to Western exclusivity, despite Japanese development.
My best guess is that the back has the "Lotteria" logo which I believe is a fast food chain whose parent company is Lotte. Lotte and Lotteria have had all sorts of cutesy animal mascots over the years. So I'm guessing it was some collaboration between Lotte and Hudson. What drew my attention though was the writing above that animal/character that translates to "famicom world".... hmmmmm
I currently don't actively collect US / EU / South American SMS games but I still have the ones I had from childhood. I've also picked up a few over the years. Yeah, as much as I prefer to collect japanese import these days... if you really want the good stuff for SMS you do have to look at other regions. One of the few times Japan got shafted big time haha.
Another path for SMS titles are the custom works where people created custom SMS games from Game Gear titles. In some regions, titles that were only Game Gear games were released as SMS titles in South America. However there are some titles that were strictly GG everywhere in the world, but hobbyists tweaked it to work on an SMS.
At this time, I'd simply be fine with something like a Tototek SMS to Mark III adapter and an SMS Everdrive.... unfortunately those $15 Tototek adapters are long out of stock and hard to find (at least when I tried to find one).

Wah. I don't know how I missed that :-[
cool hudson soft stuff .. i will always love them for making mario party the amazing title / series it is.
yea this will most likely be my only game & watch. figured i had to have one to be a true collector. looking on e bay cheapest battery door is nearly $8.00
so looks like it will remain w.out battery door.
@UglyJoe ;D haha it's small and easy to miss
@wholesalewatch648 You never know man... luck shines on us all at some point. If I were ever to dive into the G&W game, I'd probably only try to recapture 1 or 2 that I had from childhood :)
Game and Watches are just so, so expensive now. When I first started collecting, I managed to pick up a brand new Zelda and Donkey Kong for cheap. I was also offered 12 brand new Mario the Jugglers for £30 each, those were worth £300 then I can't imagine what they are worth now, but I hesitated and got pipped to the post on those.
After that I decided I wanted to just collect Famicom, but I would love a brand new Oil Panic and Greenhouse one day. I was lucky to find a brand new Octopus for an affordable price last year.
I did look around for some way back but the prices were just too inflated for me even then, they've risen steadily ever since.
Yeah the prices are crazy on those. I only ever had Super Mario Bros and Donkey Kong Jr. Always thought the Zelda one looked cool but it's too expensive nowdays.
I don't get why the battery door is always missing on the ones you see. You only remove it to change batteries than you immediately put it back again.
I think they break and get lost.
Yeah well maybe the small tabs might break off or something. My G&W games are in as good shape as they always been for some reason. My instructions booklets was always torn/lost though.
Man I haven't been here in such a long time! I apologize! If you must know, I've been hunting and hunting and traveling as well! I have two jobs now but that doesn't stop me from finding gold! I'm in the process of saving up to open my own retro game store. If things go well, it will be opened in a year! I can't wait!

back in 1996 it cost $800 , today it cost $20.00 from eBay :-[
Waaaahh! Such beautiful SF finds! I'm still looking for the SSF2X arcade CPS2 flyers and manuals, they're so elegant.
Thanks! I do love me some Street Fighter. Let me know if you need any help finding those flyers :)
As do I! Very nice Street Fighter merch, especially Typing Fighter II, which I'm ashamed that I've never heard of until today. I also like that Raiden shirt a lot, I only wish it was in black.
Also, since I haven't been on in a while, I gotta congratulate you for your recent PCE haul. Quite a few good titles in there which I'm personally looking for, like PC Genjin and Parasol Stars. I'm waiting on a couple packages at the moment, so pretty soon I'll have a finds post of my own to make.

Nice! A bit corp / HES production cart! Some of the HES games are easy to find, others are quite hard. I love the look of the (cardboard) HES boxes though, and see them as basically a companion to the Tengen USA boxes.

Hey I never knew it existed either until I stumbled upon it ;D I was kind of curious as to what other "typing games" were out there. I Thought that "Typing Space Harrier" was pretty fun.
Yeah I would have preferred black too. Unfortunately the group that makes them "1cc shirts" only offers very limited items. They do this thing where they make a new design every month, but never do second runs... hence the "1cc" or single credit run.
I've been meaning to get those PCE games, but just never got around to it. I figured they would always be around, so I focused on the stuff that only pops up once in a while. Still I was a bit embarrassed to find out that I still hadn't picked up the legendary Bonk 1 haha. PCE is a fun little console right? I'd say it's a great transition platform for a hardcore 8-bit famicom fan.
On a side note...
iPhone cases and universal battery backup unit... JPN MD themed!
Not just a corny image on the backside, but a fully contoured and textured MD! Comes with a nifty screen protector too.

Really impressive attention to detail on that iPhone case, and I also love that it's of a Model 1 - my favorite version of the system, without any doubt.
PCE certainly is a fun little console, I regret not picking one up sooner! Really solid library for any action game fan, I gotta say that my favorite game on it thus far is Genpei Toumaden: Kan no Ki/Samurai Ghost. That's one I initially purchased simply due to the cool boxart, plus that it was cheap, but then when I really invested some time into that game, I fell in love. I guess getting the rares out of the way first is a smart plan... speaking of which, if I may ask, what don't you like about the PCE version of Ninja Ryukenden? The soundtrack is... different (in an inferior way), the background scrolling effects are pretty ugly, but other than that it seems like a decent port, but I say this solely from watching footage alone. That being said I do plan to get it at some point, as a huge Ninja Ryukenden fan, but yeah it's a bit expensive. (I'll likely pay around $80-$100 for it)
Alright, guess I'll show the latest games I've gotten.
(http://i.imgur.com/p7seUBO.png)
First off, Revenge of Shinobi. One of my favorite Genesis games, that I've been putting off getting for a while now. I opted for the U.S. version, because I actually like the boxart better than the Japanese version. (Simply because it shows the Masked Ninja in all his glory)
Next, some Saturn games...
(http://i.imgur.com/UG6MDji.png)
(http://i.imgur.com/YufBkqs.png)
Guardian Heroes, Rockman X3, Shin Shinobi Den, X-Men vs. Street Fighter, Cyberbots, Pocket Fighter.
Next, some PC Engine games: Street Fighter II: Champion Edition, Shinobi, and Ninja Warriors.
(http://i.imgur.com/i3Pf34e.png)
Finally, my favorite find, and now one of my prized possessions. The very reason I got a PCE in the first place, Ninja Spirit.
(http://i.imgur.com/FJDx2Gq.png)
Every one of those is a winna, winna chicken dinna! Dig all the ninja action you got going on haha.
Revenge of Shinobi, great game... also one of my first Genesis games. Lots of good memories there!
Thanks, Stealth! I knew you'd like some of those. I've grown to love the PCE version of Shinobi. Despite its setbacks (the lack of stage 2 + no melee attacks) I love how close it feels, looks, and sounds to the arcade version. And that its stage 4-2 doesn't feature the ridiculous jumps of the Master System version. All things considered, I'd say the PCE and SMS versions are tied.
i preordered a bubble bobble mug (http://www.shopncsx.com/taitoretromugpreorder.aspx) :v they release in september. i should have forgotten about it by then so it will be a nice surprise

Jeez, great finds to you all. I'm jealous of that Shadow Dancer, L___E___T. That's the last Shinobi game I need to get, and no way in hell I'd settle for a US copy. (Where the boxart is hideous). I also like that Godzilla, Stealthlurker. Speaking of which I just recently missed the chance to get Godzilla: Kaijuu Daikessen on SFC, ugh. Been looking for that one forever. But here's what I did recently manage to acquire, anyway...

I'm glad to finally have Hyperstone Heist back - my favorite Turtles game. I always preferred it to Turtles In Time.
Pop'n twinbee... love that game. First time I played it was with my SNES/SFC copier unit back in the 90s. Told myself I'd get the real cart one day. Godzilla on SFC... I recall 2, one wasn't too hot and the other was great. I think the good one is the one with mothra on the cover I believe?
Hyper Stone Heist, I forget... was that a western exclusive?
Awesome! My first Twinbee experience (as is the case with many here, I'm guessing) was playing the original on a pirate multicart... since then I've grown to love the later installments. Yep, the one with Mothra on the cover is Kaijuu Daikessen, which was a traditional one-on-one fighting game. The other was Super Godzilla which I believe played like a strategy game of sorts? I dunno, not the type of game I'd be into.
Hyperstone Heist was not a Western-exclusive, it was on JPN Mega Drive as "Return of Shredder", I believe. But just as is the case with Castlevania Bloodlines, and Contra Hard Corps, the Japanese version is much, much more expensive. (In fact, a lot of Genesis/Mega Drive games are like that, even non-Konami titles... I guess it goes to show how poorly the Mega Drive sold in its native Japan.)
(http://s27.postimg.org/7anken9dv/1chip_02_2.jpg)
Always wanted a 1CHIP Super Famicom. ;D
I got this a while back but I only got to open it and make sure it was an 1CHIP board (and to clean it) now. But I actually knew it was an 1CHIP all along, because it had the "Ring of Great Success" under the expansion port cover http://kyorune.com/modding/article.php?id=13.
I read the link - but what are the main advantages of the smaller board?
@Nightstar I really like Shadow Dancer, it feels like a true successor to Shinobi and I like the NES style gameplay. At the time it paled in comparison to The Super Shinobi, because that had all the atmosphere, but to go back to them now I would rather pick up Shadow Dancer for a day than The Super Shinobi. It's got a bit of a Neo-Geo vibe going on too dare I say.
I too picked up a SNES years back again just for Pop 'N' Twinbee - it was a flagship title for my friends and I back then and it still remains a great demo title for what the SFC does best in my opinion. It plays on all the traits the SNES does best - colour range, music composition (esp. channels), cutesy anime style graphics and animation and swift but not fast (or slow) gameplay.
Out of the two systems, I may be controversial here but I think that the MegaDrive is the more capable machine and has aged the best. A slew of SFC games seem to be stuck inbetween 8 bit strengths and 32-bit strengths and their appeal can be lost, while the MegaDrive has a charm all of its own that you can't really find anywhere else. That music, the sprites and the pace of it all is more successful than the SFC right now, but back then the lack of colours and Mode 7 really stood out when you compared the two systems side by side.
SFC still has better games selection overall in total.

Just curious, what makes you prefer Hyperstone Heist? Of the two, I much prefered Turtles in Time. I didn't like how the bosses duplicated in HH, but with different colors. Seemed cheap, unoriginal, almost like lacking the power of that the SNES had.

Yeah that website doesn't explain the 1CHIP board at all, only how to find it without opening the console. These are all the pros and cons of different board versions that I know of:
Earlier Model 1
+ Model 1 (expansion port, RGB without modding...)
- Model 1 USA version is ugly IMHO
- Worst video quality
- PAL version has region locked controller ports (a very easy mod though)
- The earliest version (1/1/1) has problems with freezing if all DMA channels are used in a game (later versions are fine though)
1CHIP
+ Next best video quality (can be modded for even better but still not as good as Jr)
+ Model 1 (expansion port, RGB without modding...)
- Model 1 USA version is ugly IMHO
Super Famicom Jr / SNES Mini
+ Best video quality (if RGB-modded)
+ Smaller
- Needs to be modded for RGB
- Had some big changes on the board which makes some games behave incorrectly (most games are probably fine though)
- No expansion port
- Expensive
In short 1CHIP is the Model 1 version with the best video quality. Junior has supposedly a bit better video but since it has a few disadvantages over the older models I prefer the 1CHIP. But who knows, there could be incompatibilities with the 1CHIP version as well since so many things have been changed on it. It's probably called 1CHIP because the CPU, PPU1 and PPU2 all have been combined into one chip.
Here's some comparison pictures. Just roll over the mouse over the pictures to see 1CHIP pictures: http://sd2snes.de/blog/archives/75
Here's more info and comparisons:
http://retrorgb.com/snesversioncompare.html
Surely the SNES Mini and SFC Jr. are the best of the best though and the rest are moot?
I would still like to pick up a SNES Mini at some point and RGB it as it's relatively straightforward.
The Junior is more popular and easier to identify (and thus more expensive), but slightly better video quality is not enough to make up for the the price and those other drawbacks IMHO. Bsnes author Byuu even went as far as calling it "more of a clone system" because of how different it is from earlier models.
I do have a brand new SFC Jr. but it can never be touched :)
I think I prefer the original SFC in appearance over the Jr., though while the US SNES is very ugly (yes I said it!), the US SNES Mini is the nicest looking model of the lot to me. I must get one at some point.
I agree that the US SNES Mini isn't bad looking at all. The purple power and reset buttons looks better than the grey buttons of the Junior at least. But I'm missing the four colour logo representing the buttons, and the US SNES controllers with the purple buttons are still inferior to the Japanese and PAL ones.
It's more practical though. Since I guess you can easily mod it to take all kinds of cartridges. The Japanese and PAL you'll have to cut up the cart slot, which are seldom done neatly.

Ah ok, I believe I have "Return of Shredder" though I haven't fired it up much. If it comes highly recommended from you I'll have to invest more time into it. I think lately the JPN MD scene's prices have been on the climb. They're higher than what they used to be 5-6 yrs ago.
I'm not the biggest fan of either game, but I think I prefer the colour range and added effects in the SFC release.
To be honest I didn't play either back in the day, but I prefer Final Fight and Bare Knuckle by a good amount, out of which Bare Knuckle 2 is the stand out title.

So, I'm visiting my old stomping grounds of Sacramento, CA from New York, where I moved last year, and for two of those days, I stayed up at my dad's place in the foothills past Jackson, CA. When we arrived Monday night, he said "oh, I lost that list of games you gave me to look for at thrift shops" (Little Samson, Ducktales 2, etc.) "but we're having a church rummage sale starting this Friday and you can come look at what we have now. They have PlayStation games!"
I don't really collect PlayStation, but I figured, what the heck, maybe there's something I need or can sell or trade for something I want. Since my dad works at the rummage sale every year, he gets to buy stuff ahead of time and put it on a tab to be collected on the last day of the sale, so I got first pick at the games they had. Well, arriving at the church and expecting PlayStation sports games, I'm greeted by a very nice woman (who my dad has previously told I am a video game connoisseur, writer, etc.) who asks me "do you still have your old Nintendo Entertainment System? We have Zelda AND Link!" Amused and with my interest piqued, I told her nonchalantly "oh yeah, I have all that stuff." So she takes me inside, shows me the games and says "SNES games are $5 each. NES games are $2. Have fun!"
My dad walks over to see if there's anything I'm interested, and as I start browsing, I'm getting more and more titillated and finally I just tell him "get me a box, I think I'm taking everything."
All told, I spent $140.20 (many games came in those cool clear SNES and NES boxes like you'd see at Blockbuster, and there were two cases sitting by themselves which I bought for $.10 each) - 22 SNES games (everything they had) and 15 NES games (about half of what they had.) I left some good NES games because I prefer Famicom carts for non-RPGs, and also because I already had a few of them (like Shadowgate), and didn't know anything about the value of some of the rest of them (Wizardry, for instance)... and then there were a handful of good common games so I left those for whoever might want them.
This is without a doubt my best "in the wild" find ever. I'm most excited about Soul Blazer and Secret of Mana, since both of those (like most SNES games) have just become too expensive for my normal collecting habits... each was in mint (and I mean MINT) condition because they'd been stored in those cases, and came with manuals in very good shape as well. There are just so many games here I've wanted for so long... I still can't believe my good luck.
Here are the pics! Cases not pictured, but I got 14 NES cases and about 10-11 SNES ones. You might notice there's an E.V.O. manual there - it's MINT, too! But sadly, the game was *not* there, though it was pretty clear these had all come from the same collector. I wonder what happened to it! Alas. I'm not worrying about it. Hard to let something like that bum you out when everything else about the find is so great.

SO. HAPPY. And the icing on the cake is, I discussed the lot with the woman who sold them to me, and she knew exactly what she had but didn't have time or manpower to deal with eBay. She was happy to see me clear them out and I didn't have to feel guilty for getting such a good deal.
All those Square SNES games for $5 a piece :o
That's an amazing find.
Lots of good stuff and a great deal too! Congrats!
Thanks, guys!
Really loving te new finds - especially that Famicom case Stealth! Been looking for one of those briefcases myself, got too many carts again.
Thanks man. Do you know what it was really intended for? ... was it really for carts?

The briefcase was intended for carts - I've seen some with vacuum formed plastic inlays for carts, but yours looks like a different model so I couldn't say for certain on that one. But it make sense to follow suit.
Nice SFC pickups P :bub:

Thanks! The 1CHIP works like a charm and the picture really seems better. Especially with an RGB cable.
When I said P, I meant Pikkon and P together, wasn't very clear :)
Thanks dude.

Fresh from France, some fantastic Pix n Love books. Original Gameboy bible with neat lenticular front, Mario Goodies Collection, Gunpei Yokoi, Hiroshi Yamauchi and LE version of the PC-Engine Bible.

Highly recommend the Mario Goodies Collection book to any fans of Mario or Nintendo. Lots of very interesting products to view.

.
The books in French? They do run English editions but they come along later. Meant to get that Mario book myself, I see you got the LE Tanooki version. That PCE bible is a sight to behold...
Yeah they're in French, but the English versions literally take forever to come out. The Gunpei Yokoi English version seems to be taking years! I've had the regular versions of the PC-Engine Bible books, but missed the bus on the LE version (sold out on their site). Had to resort to Ebay France to get this one lol
That's true, I have been waiting years for some of them, I think it took around two years for the History of Nintendo books to be localised, heck knows why.
So, upcoming 'others' find from me - but I can only get one - which should it be?
As a Famicom collector, I feel the SFC version is the only choice, but that US SNES version looks so so nice, I can't choose.
The SFC one looks better.
Let me get this straight, RCG has confirmed that you have won a prestigious spot to be able to buy one of those customized GBAs? Everytime I ask or attempt to buy it's sold out. Almost like a lottery to be given the chance to buy one! I emailed RCG asking to buy/pre-order the custom SFC GBA a few days ago (no response yet). A few weeks ago I attempted to buy the modded SEGA Nomad-X from RCG's website... sold out. Emailed RCG and their response was merely sold out (all 2 of them!). Yes, only 2 were made.
So these custom GBA pics are all over the internet. I'm guessing he's making maybe 2-3 of each.... maybe even just one! Then that's it.
No there's at least ten of each, I think more like 20-30 to be honest, but no there is no special treatment, I don't have a spot reserved. I'm just checking back every day.
These are a winner for Wiggy though, he will make more for sure, it's the price I'm more worried about.
But yes, with stories up on RetroCollect, IGN and Reddit it's one heck of a lottery. As soon as I see them on sale I will PM you. You have more chance than me though because of the time zone...
Holy moley stealthlurker!
A Famicom Titler boxed AAAAAAAAAND Recca boxed :o I'm guessing you are made out of money.
Playing your ass off right now @ Recca? :gamer:
For me, today I recieved an american rgbmodded SNES Jr.
Sadly it didn't turn on.
Luckily a gamebit for snes arrived today aswell, sadly it looks like this: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5145312/pics/snes/WP_20140707_001.jpg (https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5145312/pics/snes/WP_20140707_001.jpg)
However it served its purpose and allowed me to take off the bottom screws and I searched the next a bit in order to locate the fuse. No connective over the fuse on the board. Easy fix! :D
So now it works and I gave my Fire FX a try with a couple of PAL games; Illusion of Time, Super Metroid and Stunt Race FX didn't work. Shadow Run however did.

So did you get one? They went on sale very early this morning (my time ) so I was asleep - 10 of each went up and were gone within the hour.
More are going on sale later this week another time when I won't be asleep, but orders are limited to one of each, so I can't order you on as well IF I'm even lucky enough to snag one in the first place...
On the other hand, my colleague dropped this amazing desk toy off, cheered me up a bit :bub:

I came across these when searching for Famicom soundtracks released on vinyl format. There are a lot of cool designs but I really don't like the fact that they have hands and feet. :(
I checked on Squid Ink's online store - they're still selling them. I quite like that they're little guys, but I know what you mean.
My additions for the past month or so.

Tenchi wo Kurau II has to be my absolute favorite Saturn game now, I've already beaten it 15 times... and I just got it three days ago.
YES! Shadow Dancer! Have you finished it yet? I need to give it another (proper) run.
Also glad to see Strider 2 there - I got that game at launch and loved it, but surprisingly probably loved playing through Strider 1 more.
Especially after completing it - if you didn't yet then I won't spoil the surprise, both games have great completion unlocks.

Really? I played Strider 2 waaaay more than Strider 1. They're both great games, though. Also, my copy has the discs reversed, so Strider 2 is on the disc with the Strider 1 artwork, and vice versa. Dunno if that was a common problem with the game or not.
Hmm that's odd - my Strider 2 disc definitely had Strider 2 art in blue.
My main non-issue with Strider 2 is that it doesn't feel as challenging. Strider 1 forces you to find and learn patterns and exploits and I had more fun with that personally.
I've just received it on MegaDrive so will have fun with that battle and all the music again soon :bub:

It is fairly easy if you're just trying to play through it. The real challenge is in trying to get the best score possible. That's been my experience with it, anyway.
Man, I want to play Strider 2 now ;D
Maybe that's how it's meant to be played - like a Caravan Score / Time Attack!
Dang now I wanna play it too.
Aw man, I envy you guys so much. I love Famicom but I definitely want to collect Genesis/Mega Drive and Saturn games as well. :'(
Decided to check out a couple of thrift stores around here and managed to find SNES Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past and Super Castlevania IV for $9 total! The carts are kind of dirty (I'll clean them up), but work great.

The good thing, Megadrive feels much cheaper to collect for than Famicom.
DDCecil - amazing deals - proves bargains can still be picked up!
I was at a local thrift store and Ifound this really cool Nintendo game display shelf. I will take some pictures later today. I REALLY think I may have found a gem this time.

I have been having trouble getting into Mega Drive, as it just has little nostalgic value for me. I really want to try to overcome this though, as many people just keep recommending me MD games, and they are so cheap in comparison to the Famicom / NES.
DDCecil - Nothing like a little bit of character added to the cart. :) I would rather find a game locally, dirty or not, than just order on the net.
US Sega Genesis games are cheap, but I find Japanese Mega Drive games to be a fair bit more expensive. Where should I look?
I would suggest starting with Hit-Japan, he has a 15% sale on MegaDrive stuff this weekend, with some 1 cent starting auctions.
Last few JP games I got were from a friend for pretty decent prices but he's back in the states at a moment.
If you buy JP games from EU/US they can be expensive but if you source them from Japan I've found they're somewhat under-appreciated over there - there seems less demand for sure and the 'exotic factor' is removed.
I already have a US Sega Genesis though. I don't know if I'm willing to splurge on a Japanese Mega Drive and any games that actually got US releases + feature no significant differences. I know Japanese Dynamite Headdy and Japanese Contra Hard Corps are significantly easier than their US releases, and Japanese Ristar features much happier expressions on all the characters, but those are the only two I can think of off the top of my head.
Otherwise, major Japan-exclusive Mega Drive games like Pulseman and Alien Soldier fetch ridiculously high prices. I'm still not sure which approach I want to take. I also don't have the money to go shopping at Hit-Japan's place again, even though he is having a sale. These things never synch up. :'(
I know what you mean - Some unmissable JP SMD titles fetch big, big prices (I'm looking at you Vampire Killer, Robocop Vs. Terminator) so in the end i just got a Mega Everdrive - for sub £90~ish and can play everything in every region apart from Road Rash which is cheap. But, I still find myself hankering after a few affordable JP versions of games I grew up with. I really would recommend Everdrives for retro systems, real hardware is not emulation but I know it's not the same as having the cart sat in there with the CIB box on the side, but it's just such a tidy solution for improvement hacks and translations I can recommend it just for that.
I don't even need Vampire Killer. Castlevania Bloodlines is reasonably priced. Pretty much every game I want aside from Puyo Puyo, Super Fantasy Zone, Pulseman and Alien Soldier is available in the US, and of those only Dynamite Headdy, Ristar and Contra: Hard Corps have significant differences in their Japanese releases. it seems safer to just get the Genesis carts. :-\
Four 2600 games for $2. The guy running the yard sale is apparently an NES collector, so we had a nice chat :D

I have, several times! Love that game a lot, as you said a while back, it really is the only Shinobi game that actually feels like a true sequel to the original... well, besides
the original, of course.

Yeah I'm with Ugly on this one, Strider 2 is probably my absolute favorite PS1 game. And it's plenty difficult if you limit the amount of continues you use... trust me, thanks to its 1-life continuing system, making it through the game without dying a million times is quite the challenge.

I've been playing a burnt CD copy of this game and decided to get an original print because it's that good, I love brawling in this game. Now that I think, most of my DC games are fighting-based. :P

It's on one of my to-get lists too. I saw it on eBay last week, but I was outbid at the very last second by one dollar. :'(

You were sniped. Not by me though.
You might have been outbid by a buck, but that doesn't mean you lost out by a buck, it's just the next increment required to outbid you. Someone's max could have been 10 bucks higher for example.
Great pickups Nightstar699! All good choices :)

Thanks Stealthlurker, I'll have another finds post tomorrow, and one of them actually has to do with an item you've got there. Great post, you remind me that I should probably take a break from buying games to buy some game-related merchandise. The Mario album is pretty neat, I'd guess it contains music from the original Mario anime movie? I especially like the Segata Sanshiro figure, and of course the Hello Kitty Kacho. Fun stuff all around!
Wow Stealthlurker congrats on that big batch everything just looks so tempting to look at, especially the motorised Mario Kart.
I wish I had space but right now I'm limited to using boxes to store my games in (which is why I've slowed down buying games), but once I get back to my other room elsewhere I can put everything on the shelves.
Amazing finds as usual Stealthlurker! I do have a request though...
Given they are so impossibly hard to obtain - would you be able to take some more pictures of the Rose Colored Gaming SFC GBA? Without filter and blur? Wiggy only uploads low res pics :(
@Nightstar699 - I believe the record is from the anime. Yeah these days I'm more interested in the video game related knick knacks. There aren't that many games left on my want list... so I just wait it out until one pops up for a good deal. :)
@FamicomRetroGamer - Yeah I was on the fence about the motorized Mario Kart. Then I saw some youtube videos of people riding them... haha ;D
@L__E__T - Read you loud and clear man. Will do! ;D
Yeah after seeing your various collections, I figured your wanted list must be slim nowadays, game-wise. Any advice on good places to find said knick knacks? Are you mainly just working with Yahoo Auctions Japan, or are there other good sources I should know about?
Also, here's my finds post.

I gotta leave for work now, but I'm hype to play these when I get back.
Thanks Stealthlurker!
Man, that Bare Knuckle artwork - and those Saturn games! Drool...
Here are the four Dreamcast games I've recently gotten in the mail:
(http://i.imgur.com/cax12wL.png)
The golden era of Capcom fighting games was on the Dreamcast and now on Xbox/PlayStation it's just Street Fighter and some Marvel Vs. Capcom.
I really dig the Dreamcast PAL packaging whereas the US/J are standard CD jewel cases, kinda takes away that collectors' value.
By the way, I bought Spirit of Speed for the sole purpose of owning the last LJN published game and years back I played the game on PC which seemed a lot better than now trying on the Dreamcast (terrible framerate, no music and long loading screens).
Edit: Purchased Mr. Driller & MvC for Dreamcast, the other game I really want to own is Power Stone 2 (it's like Super Smash Bros. in 3D!).

Yay for Dino City!
Nice Soul Blader! Classic action RPG from Enix! I've played it a lot but I've never beaten it.
Got given this beaut today for free from my boss!

Picked up a couple screen protectors for my Famicom GBAs as well. Trying to get all the Famicom Mini bits.

Well, I don't care much for newer Nintendo hardware, but at least the price was right!
Whaaaaaaaaat?! I never get anything cool like that from work
NICE!!
Wow! The only thing I ever got from work was grey hair.

Love those minicabs - I always look at them like they'll actually work though, I can't help it!
I picked up a couple minty SFC games last week, classic Rockman is my favourite of the lot.
(http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii47/L___E___T/BFAFADEB-1E6B-4E2D-ACBA-1342FDA54837_zps0omxclvn.jpg) (http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii47/L___E___T/F86FE4D1-185B-4CB5-9099-71E4DA23F2B0_zpsqlqmgjrm.jpg)
Those rockman games look pretty much brand new.
Awesome score dude
Thanks Pikkon! The R&F is pretty much new R7 has a tiny bit of wear on one of the corners otherwise the same. I considered not getting them because of how silly SFC prices have gotten but in the end it didn't seem right to exclude them.
Hoping to be able to get the two Castlevania games and Demon's Blazon one day as well, but they just keep climbing and climbing and I'd rather get a whole bunch of Famicom games over those.
Incredible finds, L___E___T! I'm still trying to hunt down CIB copies of both those games... let alone completely mint like that.
I'm leaving for a trip today, so I figured I'd post what I've gotten recently before then.

Oh don't do that Nightstar! When I see pics like yours, with a few nice-looking, boxed Famicom games, it just makes me want to collect those games boxed. Very nice stuff!!!
Agreed - spectacular finds Nightstar - those Kunio Kun CIBs making us all jelly :)
Fantastic pick-ups L_E_T and Nightstar699!! :) :star:
Always great to see people with excellent and discerning tastes! Haha
Haha, I look to you and Nightstar for peer recommendations you know!
Nightstar got me back into the SFC CIB bug. The artwork on the boxes is worth the inevitable telling off from the Mrs :)
I haven't told her about my latest 'Others' find though - when I post pics in a few days you'll see why..
If I had to live with only one platform it would be the SFC... the magic of the famicom on steroids!
Can't wait to see your newest haul :)
It's not so much a haul as it is just one item, but, I wonder if you can guess what it is?
Disk Writer Kiosk!!!
Haha I think we need a hint.
I can promise it's not a DW Kiosk... :-[
I'll give you a clue - it's something Nintendo-related that I've been looking for NIB, for the best part of this year.

Is it a game accessory used by some game or gaming related merchandise?
Doremikko keyboard!
I was hoping it would arrive today, alas it's probably a few more days away. No it is not an accessory or merch - I do need a brand new Doremiko though, not seen a 100% brand new one available as yet, it's on the 'to get' list..
Welp, it arrived! Super duper mega happy :D

I tried so hard to get one of these so am very happy to be able to finally hold it. Showed a few folks in the office who agreed it's nice, but to me these are more than nice, they're works of art.
Can't bring myself to actually open the bag or test it out, which leaves me wanting to get another one, and so the hunt continues...
It look gorgeous, would love to have one.
Are you gona play on it, or it is just collector/shelf pice ?
:star: :star: :star: CONGRATULATIONS L_E_T!!!! :star: :star: :star:
I know how nearly impossible these are to get. I'm glad you were able to secure one of these one of a kind beauties. You have an interesting story of how you were able to track it down?
Thanks Stealthlurker - though no interesting story really - just good old-fashioned persistence. For me the hard part was not getting one as such, but actually deciding whether or not to try and get one.
I missed out first few times and became really disheartened to the point where I didn't think I cold take missing out again, but the supply of parts has dried up so it's now or never, I'm just glad I decided to press on and finally get one.
I don't think I can bring myself to open it and use it, but that won't stop me enjoying it a massive amount. I'll try and find a couple AGS 101 screens to mod my Famicom SP and I'd like to also make a Famicom style GBA.
I myself don't have a problem with the GBA SP shoulder buttons, but I also like to play GBA games on my TV via the Super Famicom adaptor and I'm looking for a GCN Gameboy Player as well.
That handheld is quite the beaut - congrats, L___E___T, it seems you've wanted one of those for a while now.

Heh, good to know I've inspired others with my hobby! FC/SFC CIBs are so much fun... perhaps consider getting into them once you finish up your unlicensed collection?

Lol, that Japanese "The Wizard". I thought I'd never see such a thing. Nice finds all around though, especially digging that MD copy of Bomberman. I'm guessing that's a repro? I can't recall ever seeing a JPN version of that game for sale, anyway.

The problem is that it's *not* VHS, but Betamax! Haha, so yeah I don't have a means of playing it right now. I don't want to just stick it into any old player for fear of damage. Until I can get a good, reliable machine... the contents of the video will be a mystery. ???
@Nightstar699
Yeah a friend of mine got me one of those SD Comic-con exclusive Streetfighter plushes as part of a gift. The look on his face is so smug I just wanna slap'em haha.
It shocked me seeing the Japanese version of The Wizard that I had to get it. Actually a bit rare too from what I later saw.
Got some new nobori flag poles that fit much better and a NeoGeo pocket banner flag

Is that "Super Mario: How Nintendo Conquered America" any good ?
It looks pretty neat, so i may pick it up.
And will be there e-book realse of TUHOJGD at some point ?
I am really interested in the book but 40€ is little bit to much for black-and-white paperback.
(And it has terrible cover too ;D)
OMG yes Goonies :crazy: Amazing pickups as usual Julius! :bub:
Glad to see another Famicom Mini fan! I am on the lookout for one last Famicom Mini piece (GBA carry case) plus the two limited release games.
I love how Nintendo adjusted each game to make them pixel perfect - Hudson didn't bother and it made their version a bit blurry.
This is the case I'm after by the way (brand new only) in case anyone comes across one:

According to the Kickstarter... a PDF/digital version is an option to supporters. However don't know about a digital version for the consumer release unfortunately...

Thanks man. Yeah I've got a really soft spot for The Goonies :D
I've never seen that GBA case before. I'll give you a pm if I come across one. Right now I'm thinking about those Club Nintendo GBA Famicom boxes.

I heard Hudson used PocketNES (since its source is public domain) while Nintendo developed their own Famicom emulator.
That sounds about right - it looks similar because the GBA resolution is natively shorter than the NES resolution, so some raster lines get merged. This is why I'm not keen on PocketNES tbh.
So, Nintendo I'm sure would have looked into their own solution, but they also had to edit the games themselves to get around this - not dissimilar to how Rockman & Forte looks on GBA I imagine.
STEALTH MERGE: today at Stealthlurker hour
Thanks very much for keeping an eye out - super appreciate it as I can't search for it on YHJ.
I have those GBA boxes and they sure are lovely - however, beware some sellers that advertise them brand new unopened with the games - this is false and actually impossible.
They were never bundled with the games, you had to buy the games separately and register them to get the boxes.
You can find the collection boxes brand new, but no brand new Famicom Mini boxes will have those. Anyone claiming otherwise is at best mistaken and at worst misleading potential buyers.
Just got these on my trip to a local flea market. :yoshi:
(http://i.imgur.com/fL4rkA8.jpg?2)
For a while I've been wanted a little red CRT TV to match with the Famicom. Sometimes they were too messed up or the seller wanted waaay too much. Finally found one that I like for a good price. I just love this thing. Matches so well with the venerable ol' Famicom.... and it's kinda cute too haha ;D

Wow, that is super cool and accompanies your Famicom quite well. :)
Thanks! That's what I was going for, something to pair well with an original Fami :)

stealthlurker: wondering, do you have an open ANN Vhs? i would n't ask you to open the sealed one of course, but if you have opened on, i would love to see what is on it.
It shocked me seeing the Japanese version of The Wizard that I had to get it. Actually a bit rare too from what I later saw.
Me too! Wow! I'm gonna have to start digging deeper in the VHS bargain bins. It's kind of interesting that this was even released in Japan since the surprise moment was the unveiling of SMB3 but in Japan it had already been available for a year when the movie came out in US, plus it must have taken some time after that to be released in Japan. The original price is amazing...15000yen!! And only 3% sales tax :)
How on earth was it originally 15,000? That makes no sense to me - wow..
Well did you know that VHS tapes in America were $100 at first (back when people usually rented tapes rather than bought).
Also Japanese movie DVDs and Blu-rays on release are like $70-80 bucks! So this does not surprise me one bit.
BTW.... the Wizard actually wasn't released in Japan until 1993 !!!
'93, incredible, the demand was there though!
LOL, I couldn't give VHS CIBs away a few years back, alas :)
the sad part is i had a sealed vhs from 1983 with the original price of $39.95 on it. it is a museum documentary on pictures ::)
ended up giving to goodwill about a month ago without even opening it up. i guess i should have waited and bought
bubble bobble part 2 and left it sealed instead ::)
So, this is now officially a thing I have to add to the list:

Surely, SURELY this means a Famicom version also awaits???
I already decided to get the Super Famicom style JP version at some stage - but this I have to get on launch day!
I hope so. The thing that bugs me about the SFC style one is that the white one isn't in XL >:(
Oh, I read somewhere that it was also in XL?
i know i am late to the ouya bandwagon but decided to get one to see what its all about
just hooked it up and it is doing a firmware upgrade by the looks of it

I believe so from the pictures I've seen.... SFC button colors on an XL/LL. However white/grey is only on the smaller version.

Are you planning to do emulator stuff with it? I've hooked up an OUYA to a CRT using an HDMI to s-video converter. Works out pretty nice. Also USB SEGA Saturn pads and the NeoGeo X joystick work with it stock (no mods/tweaks needed). Also nice that you can just plug in a mouse and keyboard (those work stock too).

yea, my plan was doing emulation with it. i was wondering can it emulate nintendo gameboy, snes, n64 ? i am a novice on the device so far.
Yes to everything you've listed. Basically whatever Android can emulate, it can do it.
sounds great now i just gotta get it working ???
There should be a bunch of youtube vids and web tutorials on how to quickly side load apps, etc... unless you want to get more crazy and root the device... customize the UI etc etc...

Yea, the system has been sent through like 12 updates and nearly a completely different experience from launch. I have had an OUYA since the month of launch and I am very happy with the awesome changes.
(Oh and lol, I meant to quote but ended up editing my post into yours.)
yeah so far it seems to be working. i download the GB Emu but realized i dont have a working usb memory stick :-[
so tomorrow will probably buy a cheap one
I actually like about 7 of the indies to the point that I have tried beating them and I sort of like another 12. But emulation on the system is awesome, I have been playing DS games which are really fun on OUYA because of the touch screen being able to simulate DS. :)
got the ouya emulating GB roms perfectly. its great.
on a unrelated note, i found these today at the local thrift store when dropping stuff off. (NOTE: Not video game related, sorry)
they were $0.99 each w/no tax so $4.95 for the set. not sure of there value, but they looked pretty darn cool. i don't think some of them have ever been played.

Oh, man. That takes me back. When I first moved to Japan and was dirt poor, my GF and I would troll the resale shops for VHS tapes and just watch whatever looked cool.
The titles are Back to the Future, Evangelion, Princess Mononoke, Lethal Weapon, (JP) Evangelion. Are they dubbed or subbed, btw?
Is 16 euros for Super Nintendo console good deal? that's about 21$...

A bit complicated.. the TV only has an RF input, but the famicom is modded for AV. So I used an RF demodulator to accept the AV input and output to RF. The demodulator has a switch to select the channel.

While so many Book-Off stores PSX libraries are just the same 100 or so cheap and common games (and I love 'em for it!), there's this one that's tucked away in the 'burbs that seems to carry ONLY the harder-to-find ones. And for the most part, they're priced pretty fairly.
Since Halloween is coming up, I snagged Dracula X and Vampire Savior (EX Edition) for the PS1. Both are complete :) . For a grand total of 2,400 yen, I think I did okay.
The PS1 gets kind of a bad rap for its...less than smooth graphics, but there were a LOT of quality games on that console. The library is criminally underrated. I'm glad that the PS2/PS3 reverse compatibility has led to the games remaining in circulation for going on 20 years. Lots of fun for damn good prices.
...unless you want some Rockman games...then you've gotta pay. ;)
Ha! I went to Book Off last week and couldn't find a single game worth picking up.
Yeah the JPN PSX has some really neat unknown gems. I especially love tracking down the unknown 2D games. I spent quite a bit of time exploring the library a few years ago. Some of the games that were 20 bucks or so are worth triple digits now! Glad I got in when I did.

Most Book-Offs are really hit or miss (but always worth checking out). But this one seems to have ONLY good stuff as far as PS1 goes. I don't know if they just refuse to bother buying the same stuff everybody else has or if, for some reason, all the nice stuff gets sent to this one specific place. But it's kinda cool. Even the Akihabara Book-Off doesn't have as many uncommon titles with such regularity.

Yes they are repros, but I can't help wishing all repros were this good! I look at some of the tripe offered on NA that seem to get snapped up and wonder what happened.
If this is your thing, you can pick them up and find out more at PCEworks.wordpress.com Check out some of the other photos over there. I couldn't bear to open mine...

By the way, beautiful copy of Kaze Kiri: Ninja Action, Stealthlurker. That game is seriously making me considering upgrading to a PCCD/PC Duo.
For 2D Japanese PSX, I'd have to dig around my stuff to recall the unknown/lesser known stuff... but off the top of my head... trying to mention only PSX exclusives (ie not on Saturn also)
1. Adventures of Little Ralph (platformer)
2. Panzer Bandit (like Guardian Heroes)
3. Harmful Park (shmup)
4. Gaia Seed (shmup)
5. Gegege Kitaro (exact title forget, but fantastic 2D action platformer)
6. Gunners Heaven (like Gunstar Heroes)
7. Plue no Daibouken (platformer)
8. Geppy-X (shmup)
9. Gundam Battle Master series (also a simple series, diff games 2D vs fighting)
10. Samurai Deeper Kyo (2D vs fighting like Last Blade on NeoGeo)
11. The Rapid Angel (action platforming-ish)
12. Gatchaman shooting (simple series shmup)
13. Gatchaman vs fighting (simple series vs fighting)
14. sakigake otokojuku dodgeball (simple series 2D dodgeball game based on the manga/anime)
15. Gear Fighter Dendoh (action platforming-ish)
16. Lomax (platformer)
There are many more, just can't visualize them right now

Haha yes Nightstar699, I've got Dendoh ;) Also all the titles mentioned above and more. The search/exploration for 2D games on PSX is a lot of fun. I think the masses only know the tip of the iceberg on this one. I remember getting the GeGeGe Kitarou game on PSX for a mere 20-25 bucks years and years ago. It's finally on the radar of people now and can easily go for 100-150 bucks now! Even back then it was uncommon. I think it's even rarer now. The game oozes style and atmosphere.

Yes but I couldn't bring myself to open mine - nor do I have the originals...
By the way, me having this does not mean '
oh my gaahd mods endorse direct repros with no disclaimers' before anyone jumps to it - I was merely sent this package by the kind gent that has created these.
They are also marked up differently so nobody can pass them off as originals, not that they would try.
Thanks both on the PS1 recommends - going to see if I can dig out some of those and maybe even get them running on the PSP.
Yup, the discs also have the PCE Works logo prominently displayed on them.
Haha, the Gegege No Kitaro game was what inspired me to get a Jap PS1 in the first place! But then seeings its prices, ehh... I think it'll have to wait a little while. Thank you for all those recommendations though, I'll have to look most of those up sometime. Panzer Bandit is certainly on my radar as it is.
I guess I'll show my most recent additions, but ugh it's been so long since I posted mine here that I can't remember all of what I've got. This is just the latest stuff.

Love Rival Schools - need to get me the DC Project Justice at some point (I was given a free DC recently)
Ohh cool, I need to get that too. In fact, I just need more Dreamcast stuff, DC is one of the consoles I own the least games for. (A measly 5 games)
Oh yeah, and here's the games I got along with my Japanese PS1.

I had never played The Last Blade until now, so of course my world was thoroughly rocked. Looking forward to building up more of a collection for this thing, Japanese PS1 seems quite fun.
That Vampire Artwork... Just amazing. Think I have the arcade flyer for that one (or at least one of them).
Nice grabs Nightstar! See you got the Gatchaman fighting game too and the platformer Momotarou on GB! :)

They're from a shop in Thailand that goes by ebishoptoptee. They're on facebook and instagram by that name too. I wouldn't try to buy directly from their site... it's very difficult and not international friendly in terms of usage. I'd just msg them on FB or IG after browsing what they have on their website.
@Jedi QuestMaster
;D
Thanks, i thought they are custom. How much is one shirt if i may ask ?
Are they washable in normal washing machine ?
And how much was shipping ?
Thanks
It's $8 USD per shirt.
Shipping for the first shirt is $8 USD (worldwide) and $7 USD shipping for each additional shirt.
I don't know why I didn't think to ask this before, but...
[derailing topic]
I have trouble finding shirts that are my size in the U.S. I'm about 155 cm (5'1) and I noticed one of them had international sizes. It was a Small in the U.S. but was a Medium in some other places (I can't tell anymore because it's faded). And the shirt is still too big for me, and I never see XS available in any style.
Anyone know any international sites that sell Reebok/Champion/antimicrobial shirts?
I'll see if I can find the name of the specific Reebok shirt I've got.

Ohh yeah, I forgot to comment on that sick Makaimura pumpkin design. Those boss figures are just as cool, I've always thought the Ghosts N Goblins series had great enemy designs, even back before I ever played them. Gotta pick up the one on Mega Drive.

Love the box art!

I just couldn't resist! I've been playing quite a bit of the Rushing Beat and Great Battle games on emulator (I like to try before I buy) and they're so much fun. As for Ackman, I already have 2, so now I just need 3 to complete the trilogy, and yeah that one is definitely on my list, as well as Great Battle IV + V, and Rushing Beat Shura.

Fighter's History and Granny Fighter are two of my favorite fighters on SFC! For FH, Marstorius and Clown are my go-to warriors, in Gouketsuji Ichizoku Saizo Hattori is my favorite, (especially when I play online using emulator, let me know if you ever want to duke it out by the way), but Keith (the Axel Stone cosplayer, I call him) really destroys the otherwise insanely hard final boss, that charge move he has goes right through projectiles, haha.
I'm not very good at it - but I also like Hattori (seems a bit OP?) I have barely played it but gave it a whirl when I got my SNES Mini :)
While we're on SFC - I played Undercoevr Cops and was pretty blown away - it felt like a supercharged Spartan X 2 almost Neo Geo like I was like whuuuuuut at the Cyberpunk bits :bub:

Love me some Kirby! Nice! Do you have or planning to get Wii Kirby Return to Dreamland?
I waited for a long time for the Kirby games to drop in price... but seems like games by Nintendo never go down. Then I noticed that in the second hand market the prices of the Wii Kirby games started going up! Especially return to dreamland... which is a fantastic game imho (for kirby fans)
I don't have it, but I hope to find it one day for a good price. Of course, I tell myself that about the Gamecube Mario Kart, but I've never found a decent price for it, either!
This wasn't a recent find, but I thought I'd share here that over the summer I found Kirby's Epic Yarn and Return to Dreamland for $10 each. Thanks, random, slowly-dying video rental store in central Kansas.

Was very pleased about this acquisition, not just to FINALLY get some more PCE stuff, but also to complete my Bonk collection. Well, as complete as I want it to be, anyway.
(http://i.imgur.com/sDMIkb7.png)
Love the Bonk games so much.
Recently played Super BC Kid and was pretty blown away - was not expecting that much fun!
Love the Bonk collection there!! Fantastic stuff!
Back in the 90s, I got a copy of one of the SFC Bonk games via email. Put the ROM on a disk and played it on my SFC/SNES backup unit. At first I thought it was a joke or a hack... I mean really Bonk on a Nintendo console?! Didn't know about FC Bonk yet. Blew me away how good it was.. one of the many SFC games I swore I would get legitimately one day if I ever had the means haha.
B...b...by "backup unit" dd..d...do you p..perhaps mean...(pardon my french) "G*me D*c*tor"?
Similar, mine was a Super UFO 32Mbit
I have the cart version of that - can't get it to play games like Starfox US by bolting on a Starfox JP though..
I don't remember if the FX games worked on mine. It's been ages. I do recall it for being hyped up for being able to Killer Instinct when it came out though lol
After work, I stopped by one of my favorite little places, "Friend" in Kawasaki (near Musashi-Shinjyou station). Walked out with a Super Famicom console w/ 2 controllers (my first EVER, somehow) and Contra Spirits for a combined total of 2,670 yen.
I'm thrilled to FINALLY have a Super Famicom and DOUBLE thrilled to have scored Contra Spirits on the same day. Gonna be a fun weekend!

I highly doubt it did. I don't get why Killer Instinct is special so that some backup units couldn't play it. Maybe just the size.

Nice! The packaging on MSX stuff seems pretty grandiose, I'd recommend you spend some more time with the system. Its games seem like they'd fit well with the rest of your collection, in my opinion. Great choices all around, as always.

Great picks to you as well! Have fun with Chou Genjin, that game is easily in my top 10 for the Super Famicom.
Hey Stealthlurker is that Rondo of Blood print from a magazine or a handbill? All this lovely on one page!
Nice SFC finds Shumi! It's like you paid $25 for F-Zero and got the rest for free :D
Picked up a copy of parodius da for the super Famicom. It will be my first time playing. I am excited.

Stealthlurker, I HAVE to know where you got these. They're super cool and
definitely show where Nintendo got inspiration for the Amiibos they were made this year
Also, your custom MD sign is very dope.
EDIT: FOUND THEM!
You can buy them here in the US: http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/menu.aspx?menu=631&company=38
or from Japan: http://www.ebay.com/sch/m.html?_odkw=&_ssn=tokyo-hobby&item=331375945129&_osacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p2046732.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.Xnintendo&_nkw=nintendo&_sacat=0
Whoever made these figures did it right. They're all super cool.

@Bob-Bob Um, read Money magazine too? lol
@Nightstar699 For the Shinobi sleep maske, there's a japanese website known as "GeekLife". I had to pay someone who could order, pay and receive from Japanese websites to handle to transaction and shipping to me. Yeah I've been exploring the MSX library through ROMs, web pages and youtube videos for a few years now. Making up a little list of titles I'd like to pursue :)
@casino
@L___E___T
That PCE Rondo poster I actually bought as is from YAJ. It's actually a huge poster if you can see the size comparison with the magazines holding it down. Looks very similar to the 2 page ads for PCE Rondo in magazines.
@nintendodork Sorry for the late reply, but you actually found a better place to order them! I got mine to AmiAmi Japan, but looks like BigBadToystore finally got them and for a lot cheaper too. Back when I was big into collecting Japanese robot toys, I'd always check BBTS first due to their very competitive prices for us located in the USA.
On a side note... a few days ago NeoGeo AES Last Hope: Pink Bullets *finally* arrived! Also a lot more other sweet stuff too....

Haha, leaning into it like :)
I grabbed one of those SMD phone cases too - had to be done!
So is the rondo poster a reprint or something that went out to stores?
Oh, the case isn't part of the new stuff. Just had it in hand and thought it went with the MD theme. I got doubles of each version that came out (JPN MD, US Genesis, Saturn, etc and the Battery Pack) a while back.

I really don't know. The description for the Yahoo Japan Auction on the Rondo poster didn't say anything meaningful. Just knew I had to have it. Also got some of the rarer famicom flyers on the way and some rare original posters that arrived recently :)
Will post pics in the coming weeks
Can't wait to see those Famicom handbills! You're making me wish I got another phone case after the recent SMD stuff.
I missed out on a Time Zone handbill some time (lol) back, do you have that one? Also missed out on a Power Glove handbill :(
The result of a weekend of bumming around Kawasaki.

Gamecenter CX: The Movie blu-ray box set, with a really interesting movie booklet... and also picked up a KACHO figure :)
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v337/jviloria/January2014/NewStuffFromInstagram/GCXTM1_zpsc97d3810.jpg~original)
Wow, that's some really cool Game Center CX stuff! Btw, what does the CX stand for anyways?
The "CX" is a little convoluted... but let me try to explain. The show is on channel Fuji TV which is also known as "CX" due to the station's call sign JOCX-DTV.
A few more pictures of what's inside the program booklet. Some stuff that's a great homage to the venerable famicom :)

That handheld Karnov game rocks my world, Stealthlurker. As does the Gamecenter CX merch - very nice stuff all around, as always.
Here's the games I've gotten since I last posted here.
(http://i.imgur.com/LsPKOP8.png)
Akumajo Densetsu
Rockman 7 (I've been wanting to play this one since I was a child)
Joe & Mac
Sailor Moon R
Momotaro Dengeki
Ultraman Ball (what became of Armadillo Gaiden!)
Metal Slug X
Mystical Fighter
And then, the start of my Game Gear collection...
GG Shinobi
GG Shinobi II (best game on the system, I'm convinced)
Ninja Gaiden
Zenki
Tempo Jr.
Sonic
Boxed Akumajou Densetsu! *Jealousy!*
Haha, definitely one of my favorite gets this time around. I've wanted it for quite some time now!
I love the Game Gear boxes - I think having a Game Gear is worth it just for Shinobi - but I do think the first is the better - it's more nostalgic for me - but that intro - I watch it again and again and again.
I recently got Game Gear games running on my GB Micro, it really is great for these games and frames the artwork so nicely. Funny to play them that ultra-portable way :)
Checked out Mystical Fighter - it looks like a generic PC Engine game but I really like the music and the character design. That one's new to me I'll check it out in full I think!
Stealthlurker I know how rare that SMD with the Sonic card is... Nice find!!
Ah, I'm glad to know I've inspired you to check out Mystical Fighter! I think it's quite the underrated beat 'em up on Genesis... but of course, I'm a bit biased, as a lover of the kabuki/edo theme.
G.G. Shinobi I and II are both incredibly well-designed games. I've been a Game Boy fan nearly all of my life, yet the Shinobi titles alone are enough for me to look at the Game Gear as a solid equal to the Game Boy. I find it interesting how most the Shinobi games are completely different from one another, yet G.G. Shinobi I and II both follow such a similar formula... they compliment each other really well, and it makes them almost feel like two halves of the same game.
Stealthlurker I really like the Akumajou VHS - what exactly is that, a playthrough of the arcade version?
Nightstar I also really like that whole theme - wish we had modern games that felt a bit more like that too, but ah well.
GG Shinobi was on of the first games I played on Game Gear - which I got for my birthday when I was around 8 or 9. I didn't play GG2 till years later :link:
Well here are some more finds from me to share - picked up some accessories from Rose Colored Gaming

Really happy I managed to get one of each of these as originally hoped, although it was harder than hell.
Also picked up some more GBA CIBs to accompany, love the nice little details on Wario Ware Twisted!

I think that's it for a while, totally overspent lately and got in trouble.
Hhhnnnggg... The last couple pages...
You guys are nuts. I wish I was back in Japan so I could go on a wild shopping spree.

GG Shinobi was on of the first games I played on Game Gear - which I got for my birthday when I was around 8 or 9. I didn't play GG2 till years later :link:
Ahh, nice! I really wish I had gotten a Game Gear as a kid, in addition to my Game Boy. But then again, it's really fun getting to discover its greatness now, it's like a whole new library of fun has opened up for me. I've even grown to like Game Gear Ninja Gaiden... as ridiculously short as it is.
Jeez, what an overwhelming lot of finds you have here. Japanese GBA CIBs is something I've wanted to get into for a while now, I only have a few of them. I primarily want Astro Boy (as you know ;) ), Double Dragon Advance (it's like $150, WTF) and Final Fight One. Great picks you have there, especially Chu Chu Rocket and the Wario Ware: Twisted. (At least, I assume it's Twisted, unless there was more than one WW on GBA) And a beautiful GBA Micro to play 'em on... brilliant.
Are there any Japanese GBA games that are worth some coin? I ask that because on my game hunts, sometimes I still run across CIB GBA games, and unless they are unlicensed games, I pass them by, since the store keepers always ask full (original) retail for them, about $20 - $25 each. But if there are some titles worth considerably more, I need to start paying attention to this.
There are - Rockman Zero 1 if you can find it in great condition, Ninja Cop if it had a JP version, Mother 1+2 is v expesnive, Mother 3 has just maintained its value. Rockman EXE 3 Black is another one. I'd be interested in picking up some via you if it's worth your while.
Thanks for all the nice comments, I really do like the GBA it's a system I'm very fond of and I picked one up at launch with a handful of titles.
The Micro has a better screen and is more portable but nothing beats the comfort of the original - IF you can find a decent backlight.

and the Wario Ware: Twisted. (At least, I assume it's Twisted, unless there was more than one WW on GBA)
There are! The first Wario Ware game came out on GBA.
It did indeed and is one of the best!
That along with Rythm Tengoku are two of the standout titles in my opinion. I also still believe that Minish Cap is the best Zelda handheld title out there.
The GBA versions of Mario Bros and Hot Scramble command pretty high prices.
And, again, Double Dragon Advance. I seriously can't fathom why it costs so much, as apparently it was re-released as a "Greatest Hits" type game, so... wouldn't that infer that there's a lot of copies out there? So why the $150+ price tag? Ah well. I still want it pretty bad.
Hmm I'll check that out. Hot scramble was a promo release so is very expensive - but why is Mario Bros. expensive?
My latest finds... part of this addition was inspired by L___E___T!
(http://i.imgur.com/yuRJ9dJ.jpg)
Rockman and Forte
The Rockman Zero trilogy
Dracula Densetsu (Castlevania Adventure, Japanese version)
and Castlevania: Dracula X Chronicles on PSP!
And all CIB! Beautiful! :)
YES! I am convinced we like the same style games you know Nightstar :)
I have a brand new Rockman Zero 3 somewhere, but I really want to get some more GBA CIBs next and those 1-4 are first on the list.
Big fan of all of those games - did you unlock the extras on Dracula X yet? :D
I've got to get something from RCG one of these days. Those modified GBAs are too cool. Glad you could get your hands on one, dude. Their Facebook page is full of rude comments going on and on about how no one ever gets the chance to actually buy anything.
Thanks! Well, they have the problem that their stuff is popular but all needs to be made by hand by a small bunch of folks.
Nothing dissimilar from a fashion boutique, but trouble is people are used to Nintendo putting out thousands of these at a time, rather than 10 at a time...
Truth is they are very hard to buy from if the stuff is popular though and they're not cheap even if you do get the chance, so it can be tricky for customers and some folks will vent.
You can get RCG GB Micro faceplates and buttons reasonably easily - plus they're quite affordable too. I saw they're making some NES themed and Gameboy-themed MIcros again but slightly different this time, I'm going to try and get those if I'm quick enough.
I picked up one of these Club Nintendo Japan Famicom Notebooks and got it in the mail yesterday!
(http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/NTA0WDUxMA==/z/kHAAAOSwdsFUM-06/$_12.JPG)
It's roughly just an inch smaller than a Famicom, but looks quite nice and very high quality. I'm not even sure if I can write in it! It's just too nice! ::)
WOW, gonna have to get me one of those for sure! Very nice!
Sweet gets guys ;D
Some of the stuff from the past weeks...

Dropped by the Book-Off outside Kawasaki. They recently bagged all their Famicom carts.
Off to a terrible start w/ Galaxian at 950, GOLF for 980, and, I kid you not, Murder on the Mississippi for 1,980. But I persevered and came away with TMNT (2), Double Dragon II, and Mad City for 250 yen *each*.

Sweet Nintendo memorabilia! Also congrats on the new addition to the fam ;)
Beautiful memorabilia, Stealthlurker. Really digging that Astro Boy figure. What exactly is that Samurai Shodown item, by the way? Nakoruru and Cham Cham look positively adorable there.
Also, I posted this in the Christmas thread but I guess I'll leave it here too.

I haven't heard of the Wind Rises, but from the premise, it looks interesting.
In fact, I haven't seen a Studio Ghibli film since Howl's Moving Castle. What else I miss? :-\
Thanks zmaster18 and stealthlurker!
With the holidays I have a bit more time to post now, I`ll try to get a couple more up over the next week :)

Mighty haul of stuff there Nightstar! Especially digging the JPN GB Ninja Gaiden! That one seems to fluctuate all over the place. Were you able to get a good deal on that one?
Oh it's a Daily Planner lol. Those things were huuuuge in the 90s.

I haven't heard of the Wind Rises, but from the premise, it looks interesting.
In fact, I haven't seen a Studio Ghibli film since Howl's Moving Castle. What else I miss? :-\
The Wind Rises seems to get some flack from the mainstream. It's also Miyazaki's last Ghibli film he had some participation in before he retired....
However, about 2 weeks ago I watched the live action movie "Eternal Zero". A big budget 2013 Japanese movie that follows 2 siblings researching their grandfather who turned out to be a skilled WW2 Zero fighter pilot. Its based on a popular book. Was pleasantly surprised by this movie... watching The Wind Rises after it made it so much more enjoyable imho.
Oh man you have to watch Spirited Away!
Ah, yeah, I remember having a few - of course none as awesome as that SS-themed one. Also I'd say I got a decent deal on Ryuukenden GB. It was about $60, and I would have gladly paid $100 for it so I have no regrets!

That's a great deal actually! Mine ran me we'll over a $100 :( Congrats!

Yeah, there are people who are upset that Frozen won best animated film at the Oscars. I haven't watched Frozen, but from what I've seen, I don't think it's my kind of movie.
Anyway, now you got me interested in
Eternal Zero. ??? I guess I'll watch that too. ;D
Quote
Oh man you have to watch Spirited Away!
I saw Spirited Away. In fact, I made a list of all these Studio Ghibli/Miyazaki/Takahata films I saw on a collection DVD while I was taking a Japanese language class ;D:
-My Neighbor Totoro
-Whisper of the Heart
-Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind
-Only Yesterday
-Porko Rosso
-Kiki's Delivery Service
-Pom Poko
-Princess Mononoke
-Laputa: Castle in the Sky
-Grave of the Fireflies
-Spirited Away
-On Your Mark (short)
-Ocean Waves
-Howl's Moving Castle
So I know I still haven't seen Ponyo, and then there's My Neighbors the Yamadas. :P
Okay, so I found this but was not able to acquire it.
We're looking to relocate an office, so I was along for a trip to a building that used to belong to a local newspaper. I'm wandering around looking at whatever stuff they had left behind. Lots of old tech in the basement. Tons of wires. In one utility closet, there was box with a bunch of miscellaneous binders in it. In the back of it I glance a black binder with a red Nintendo logo on it. I grab it and there's a label affixed to the cover: 1991 Nintendo Press Kit.
:o
I only had a moment to leaf through it. I opened it up and the first thing that caught my eye was a brochure for the NES "Hands Free" controller. At that point I knew I was holding a real Nintendo press kit. I flipped through it only briefly. 1991 seemed almost too new because of all the NES and Game Boy stuff in it.
I seriously contemplated stealing it, but didn't. I really hope we get this office now, though, since I called dibs on the press kit ;D
I have to be 100% with you I would jacked in a heartbeat wouldn't have thought twice about it. Your an more honest man then me.
Yes if it would go into a bag or something I would probably too.
If I had the time, I'd probably scan everything. ???

Amaaaaaaaaazing finds Julius :D
Actually, the Sonic 3 Complete repro was made by an anonymous gentleman on this forum - I am eternally grateful for all the repros he's made me and I asked for this extra one to gift to a friend.
I think my favourite find out of these is this:
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v337/jviloria/January2014/NewStuffFromInstagram/MDFF9_zps569c80e0.jpg~original)
Same artwork as from the NG3 box and handbill - the anime OVA movie is actually pretty good, I watched it several years ago.
Have you tried out the Famicom ASCI stick yet? How des it feel in comparison to a cab stick for example?
Finally, I wanted to ask if you'd tried out the Famicom Writer and cart? We could really use some more inf about how this thing works and to what extent, i.e. what games it works with :bub:
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v337/jviloria/January2014/NewStuffFromInstagram/MDFF9_zps569c80e0.jpg~original)
I got super lucky on an auction and won this beauty for just $30! I'm excited to add it to the Famicom collection~
(http://i.imgur.com/FfWID0O.jpg)
@LET
Thanks man and thanks for the repro. I loooove it!
Actually I already had the NG LD, but added the VHS to the mix. I also got the anime OVA flyer, but it's in one of packages lying around here haha. The VHS is fairly easy to find, but the LD is pretty darn rare. Yeah I love the artwork. Also matches perfectly with the GB version.
The ASCII stick is pretty darn good in terms of arcade feel, but not as good as modern arcade sticks or my japanese arcade machines. Still for it's era, it was light years ahead of other sticks out there. I also got some of the Micomsoft sticks in my haul which are also tops in terms of console sticks for the era. I got a boxed one for famicom and another for a platform I forget lol. Will post later.
Unfortunately this fami writer didn't come with a PSU, so until I find a suitable substitute it stays untested.
Yeah, that Ninja Ryukenden VHS is my favorite find of the lot too. Surprisingly huge box, makes me think there'd be something else included in the package. That OVA artwork is absolutely gorgeous, I also love it on my GB Ninja Ryukenden... and NGIII, of course.
The Mega Drive lot is also great, wise choices on your part. I've never had any interest in repros but seeing that "Beneath the Clouds" boxart, plus looking up a video of it in action is seriously tempting me. Another find I liked in particular was this:
Quote(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v337/jviloria/January2014/NewStuffFromInstagram/MDFF7_zpsee9c4b14.jpg~original)
Is that... a manual for a gameplay VHS? That is wicked cool. Even though I'm not too big on the original Ninja Warriors, it did give birth to my second favorite SFC game ever so any piece of merch from the series appeals to me. Pretty awesome.
Nice Famicom SP. I really like the Famicom Micro, I wish I had one of them.
Love that Famicom stick!
Got some pal games not to long ago,funny thing is I found The Brainies at my local record shop for 12 bucks.
(http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y101/pikkonson/palgames_zps2bb1983a.png)
And here is a Terranigma repro patched to ntsc,I did everything except burn the chip as I lack the equipment.
(http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y101/pikkonson/reprogame_zps2bb12dd9.png)
The label was a bitch to do,it's far from perfect but fine for me.

A few Book-Off grabs this weekend.
Found this neat "JVC X'Eye" console today.
(http://hostthenpost.org/uploads/8e661560c377a115a92a5f640ae32a5c.jpg)
Never seen one before, seems to be very similar to the Sega CDX.
Nice! That's the US version of the Wondermega - Genesis and SEGA CD combined. Does it all work fully?
Very nice!

Good to know, also yes thankfully both the cartridge slot and CD drive work flawlessly.
I got a original JVC controller with it as well.

Kind of a neat find for me. Its the Atari 2800 game that never was. Bit of a neat piece of history I think:
http://famicomblog.blogspot.jp/2015/01/interesting-find-atari-2800-discovery.html
Nice find - do you think certain retailers could have imported and stickered themselves? Or do you think it's more likely there were a bunch of these all with the same sticker?
I am thinking the latter, perhaps spectravision exported them to Japan on its own or something (which raises the question of whether other Spectravision games for the 2800 are out there), The label is custom made and looks more like something that a manufacturer would have applied rather than something a store would have.
I have the good start of a PC Engine collection going now thanks to a user on here and a couple on eBay :D
(https://i.imgur.com/YWhG18Y.jpg)
Nice PCE! I had one for a little while, but all I had were crappy games so I sold it. Good games are a little hard to get for this machine!
I'm working on a sweet trade right now for some CIB jN64 Games and some CIB SFC games as well as a hori mini pad (FINALLY!!!!)
I'll give more details once it is finalized but I think I lucked out here.
Congrats on the Hori pad. I've had a green one for a few years now and it's wonderful. My only qualm is that it's solid green and not translucent like my N64.
The one I'm getting is translucent blue with a translucent white back.
I'm actually one of the few people that actually likes the original N64 controls as well but these just seem awesome!
Well the only problem I have with the original N64 controller is that the stick is grinding away when using it. The Hori Mini is more sensitive though so some games may feel hard to play with it at first.
I read the HORI mini is the best pad to play on for N64 out of them all..
Some recent pickups from Japan I received in the recent weeks:
(http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii47/L___E___T/C4D17540-F3D7-4489-8F11-8A6C6829970E_zpsw0fdcxbo.jpg) (http://s261.photobucket.com/user/L___E___T/media/C4D17540-F3D7-4489-8F11-8A6C6829970E_zpsw0fdcxbo.jpg.html) (http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii47/L___E___T/E4057F76-E0F9-4D93-B8BC-2B76A8E286FC_zpscpcnmkmp.jpg) (http://s261.photobucket.com/user/L___E___T/media/E4057F76-E0F9-4D93-B8BC-2B76A8E286FC_zpscpcnmkmp.jpg.html)
Really glad to have one of the best GBA games Rhythm Tengoku now in pristine condition, comes with those nice little stickers too :)
And what can be said about Shinobi? A must purchase, also in very nice shape for its age now, been looking for one like this for a while, it's that art!
Ahh, what a beautiful copy of Shinobi you've got there, L___E___T! Same art as the PC Engine version I have.
(http://i.gyazo.com/9c33393f458d921d0b19b18c4a6a2463.png)
Also got it on Master System, but... I don't have a Mark III, so of course it's the hideous Western boxart for it. Though I was thinking of getting complete Mark III copies of some of my SMS favorites just for the sake of having.
Thanks Nightstar! It's great art isn't it - I think I prefer the PCE art, the way it's framed more tbh.
I wanted to get one or two Mark III CIBs to go with my MegaDrive collection, but nice copies don't show up often. I'd like to pickup an Alex Kidd in Miracle World at some point I think.
I considered getting a Mark II or JP Master System, but I think having the Mega Everdrive and the Master System converter for it are a nice solution to be honest, it's all RGB too.
Master System was the first console we had as kids though - I remember choosing The Ninja for my brother as a Christmas present that year - then being bedridden with flu for days and unable to play it, the music and sound effects from the other room were very unfair! we had a lot of fun with that system, some truly great games like Wonder Boy III, Rambo (Ashura) Sonic and Asterix too. I am very fond of it.
L__E__T. That Rhythm Tengoku looks awesome. I am a fan of the series myself.
Alright, so the trade I was working on just happened a few minutes ago. The last time I was in the city I brought these loose USA N64 games to leave with my mom to do the trade on my behalf.
Tony hawks pro skater
Tony hawks pro skater 2
Toby hawks pro skater 3
Castlevania 64
Goldeneye 007
Zelda Ocarina of Time
And these loose USA NES games as well
Bart meets Radioactive Man
Punch Out
And I got these CIB JAP N64 games in return
Banjo Kazooie (now I have a CIB USA, PAL, and JAP copy of the game)
Kirby the Crystal Shards
As well as these CIB JAP SFC games
Star Fox
F-Zero
Yoshis Island
Yoshis Safari
And these loose game controllers
Translucent blue and white Hori mini pad
1st party SFC controller
And last but not lease(well I guess technically these are the least but you know what I mean)
5 JAP N64 game box protectors.
I am pretty excited to check the stash out. I'll post pics once I have everything in my posession in a week or two.
Post Merge: February 22, 2015, 08:32:03 am
Also I forgot to mention to JessicaWolf. That is a really neat looking PCEngine you have there. I totally want one now haha. To be honest though I have never seen any gameplay on the PCE so I have no idea how it looks. I'll go check it out right now.
I used to have a SMS that I s-video modded, it looked so crisp. I had some alright games, as well as some real stinkers (Action Fighter, Lord of the Sword). I really liked the gun games like Safari Hunt more than NES Zapper games. They were really fun and I feel like there was a really good variety. I would like to own a JP SMS one day for the awesome FM sound and ability to play SG-1000 games as well. But these systems are kinda rare and expensive and I can't even afford it now. Hell, I don't even have my own Famicom or FDS anymore, so I should get those first (obviously).
A ebay buy.
(http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y101/pikkonson/20150228_221402_zps4e8020fa.jpg?t=1425137529)
Its complete,not in the best of shape but not a big deal.
I'd considder that pretty good shape for it's age. It looks awesome IMO actually. How much did you snag it for?
Thanks dude.
I got it for $24.50 shipped from Japan.
Nice. GOOD find! I kind of want a boxed copy myself now looking at it. Would you believe I have never played around with Mario paint before?
You can get SFC Mouse boxes for pretty cheap too - I guess they struggled to shift em.
I added my 100th SNES cart to my collection today: Rock N' Roll Racing.
Rock n roll racing is an awesome game!
I used to get a few SNES mouses from Japan for a few bucks each. There isn't a huge demand for them, so they're usually cheap. I'm not a huge fan of Mario Paint now, but the mouse is an awesome controller for some other games on the system. Anyone ever play Pieces by Atlus on SNES? AKA Jigsaw Party in Japan? :)
I would like to get Rock n Roll racing one day. Gotta love how real life rock songs are in the game.
Plus the mouse works on a Famicom http://wiki.nesdev.com/w/index.php/Mouse. Of course no retail game uses it, but several homebrew does.
BTW I saw Rock n Roll Racing had a MSU-1 hack and its soundtrack replaced with CD-quality songs.
Very happy to pick up another one of Rose Colored Gaming's specials:

Ordered the NES faceplate and buttons to go with it as well, as they share the same shell :)
I was finally able to get my hands on my hori mini pad and the 6 CIB games I purchased (2 jn64 and 4 SFC)
I will take some pics in a bit. I'm just really tired right now from a wedding I was at last night. I was the wedding minister(where I live, you can apply for a temporary certificate to wed people. It was a pretty neat experience. I'll also upload a picture to the unveil yourselves thread I was all spiffed up haha.
That micro looks really sharp! Congrats!! :o
Here's my loot.
Awesome scores SumixXam,very nice titles.
Some more ebay finds.

Nice finds to both you guys. That CIB Kirby 64 and Yoshi's Island are beautiful, as is that copy of Ganbare Daiku no Gen San, Pikkon - that happens to be the game that got me into Super Famicom.
Thanks to both of you. I am playing through Yoshis island right now. Everything in that picture including the controls came to around $115 (which I don't have lol) so I made a trade for the lot. I'm pretty happy.
Also, that Hoshi no Kirby 3(Kirby's DreamLand 3) looks amazing. I love the hologram around Kirby. The label looks much cooler than the one for Hoshi no Kirby Super Deluxe, though that label looks very nice in a different way.
What did you end up trading for those beauties if I may ask?
Loose for USA N64
Zelda OOT
Goldeneye 007
Tony hawk 1
Tony hawk 2
Tony hawk 3
Castlevania 64
Loose for USA NES
Simpsons Bartman
Punch out.
For all the games and controls in that picture plus 5 japanese n64 box protectors.

YES Dave - that has got to be find of the month :D
Congratulations! What a rarity!
My new office is by a pretty great game store. Snagged these beauties for 3,600 yen... Which is about what I was prepared to pay for the Saturn port of MVC.

I keep forgetting to post some of my misc finds, so here are some goodies from the last few months. I haven't had much desire to find game goodies recently, I've spent more time researching used gear and guitars to take somewhat of a hiatus to collecting goals.
Alas, here are some of my last temptations. Please don't judge my Game Boy habit, when my portable(s) urge comes full circle, it hits pretty hard! :crazy:

It has been a *good* week for my game collection.
The same place I picked up the Dreamcast a week or so back had this when I dropped by on Monday.
(http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y115/ProfessorSmooth/E0471347-2F2C-4AD0-89D7-4D575F81254B_zpsphhm3esw.jpg) (http://s4.photobucket.com/user/ProfessorSmooth/media/E0471347-2F2C-4AD0-89D7-4D575F81254B_zpsphhm3esw.jpg.html)
At 4,500 yen, there was no way I could pass it up. Hell, 4,500 for a model 1 Mega Drive w/ the cables/controller usually runs way more than that in Akiba. And the box looks *gorgeous*.
As for the interior...
(http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y115/ProfessorSmooth/47451DEC-3C63-4ACE-836E-9E36D86EA95C_zpseb0oncmx.jpg) (http://s4.photobucket.com/user/ProfessorSmooth/media/47451DEC-3C63-4ACE-836E-9E36D86EA95C_zpseb0oncmx.jpg.html)
While the foam is cracked (since the console is wedged in here *tight*), everything else looks almost new. The paperwork is included (along with the original stamp showing where/when it was purchased (Christmas Eve 1992). The game looks untouched.
I was over the moon to add this to my collection. CiB consoles (especially their boxes) take up space that's in short supply, but this was just *so* nice looking. Plus, it's the Sonic version, which was on my mind from reading Console Wars.
The very next day, I dropped by the Book-Off near the train station closest to my office. It's a pretty nice Book-Off, as far as older games go. There's a nice selection of popular titles from PS1-current, at reasonable, if not cheap, prices. But there are also bargain bins that I usually find one or two decent items in.
(http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y115/ProfessorSmooth/99B27DB4-1A81-4A03-BDE9-B3CBE784AF48_zpsn9q2rvrj.jpg) (http://s4.photobucket.com/user/ProfessorSmooth/media/99B27DB4-1A81-4A03-BDE9-B3CBE784AF48_zpsn9q2rvrj.jpg.html)
Gold N64, w/ 2 gold controllers, AND the power/AV cables (which are surprisingly tough to find at times). For 4,300 yen? Yes, please. The N64 was never really on my MUST HAVE console list. There were only a few games I was interested in, and the only really cheap titles tended to be baseball/horseracing/soccer related. But, when I checked out the N64 bargain bin...
(http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y115/ProfessorSmooth/A3746E4D-D5AA-4100-87CC-04D14534AAB3_zpsuvaaobwj.jpg) (http://s4.photobucket.com/user/ProfessorSmooth/media/A3746E4D-D5AA-4100-87CC-04D14534AAB3_zpsuvaaobwj.jpg.html)
...damn near ALL of those games I was interested in. And (almost) all for 100-200 yen each. Star Fox, Mario Party 1 and 2, VIRTUAL PRO WRESTLING 64, Donkey Kong, Ocarina of Time, Yoshi Story, and SMASH BROS (which, in fairness, was 600).
But the haul didn't end there. They'd also re-stocked the Sega Saturn bin.
(http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y115/ProfessorSmooth/D01B7F54-F25D-45E8-A298-BF04DDEB9F34_zpst7rqkjl9.jpg) (http://s4.photobucket.com/user/ProfessorSmooth/media/D01B7F54-F25D-45E8-A298-BF04DDEB9F34_zpst7rqkjl9.jpg.html)
Clockwork Knight is one of my favorite Saturn games, but when I bought the console, I just couldn't find a copy. They used to be as common as Mah-Jong, but they've been MIA for as long as I've been in the market for a copy. Shining Wisdom was just an impulse buy, but Fire Pro Wrestling and Street Fighter the Movie two that I've been after for awhile (but didn't want to pay the standard price for).
And, finally, I rummaged through the Famicom bin. There was plenty of good stuff in there (TwinBee for 500, Pulse Line Mario Bros for 300, and a few others), but since I have the worst luck selling/trading doubles, I left 'em for the next lucky SOB. But, I did find...
(http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y115/ProfessorSmooth/616F10F6-D38B-41BE-935A-DCF4B426AA71_zps6tudzvtm.jpg) (http://s4.photobucket.com/user/ProfessorSmooth/media/616F10F6-D38B-41BE-935A-DCF4B426AA71_zps6tudzvtm.jpg.html)
...a rough copy of Balloon Fight for only 400. Yay!
I think that's enough game hunting for this month. Now, to sit down and actually enjoy the spoils of the hunt!
You got some awesome deals Shumi,man I need to go to Japan.
Got this in today,was another ebay find.

Beautiful! Wario Land 4 is my absolute favorite GBA game. What's the other game though?
That's Kururin Paradise, a sequel to Kuru Kuru Kururin. Make sure to check this one out if you like action/puzzle games.
Oh I rememberplaying Kurukuru Kururin when GBA was new! How nostalgic!
I got 8 Sega games (SG-1000 and Mark III) for a really cheap price, but now I can't decided whether to keep them or sell them... Here's what I got:
-Alex Kidd in Miracle World
-Fantasy Zone
-Zaxxon
-Congo Bongo
-Hustle Chumy
-Lode Runner
-Mahjong
-Konami no Shinnyu shain tooru kun
All these game look like a bunch of fun and I wanted these for a long time. I don't have a Master System or Mark III or anything to play these on. Should I save these for the future, or sell now? I could really use the cash at the moment. I also have the same dilemma with a BASIC keyboard and V3 set that I got for cheap but might want to sell.... Help me decide :P
I bought a black GameCube from a secondhand store for £20.00, and I also got Super Smash Bros Melee for £28.00 which was a steal. The system had a few scuff marks and I dropped it on the way back home (and it booted up just fine. Power of Nintendium, I guess) and it runs wonderfully.
Got this in yesterday.

You can't just *not* use your points! There's some cool stuff still on there that could always double as trade bait if it doesn't interest you personally. Besides... you earned those points!
Actually I got most of them for free :D I'll just use them for a DL code or something. Most had expired.
Worst part? If I'd used them I'd have been eligible for the Ambassador New 3DS...
A bit dated to be commenting on this, but damn, Shumi. Those are some sick deals you happened upon. It's crazy how inflated N64 games have become in the U.S. A secondhand game store I was in the other day was trying to sell Smash 64 for $50.

That's just how the prices are. There is so much demand for North American N64 games, especially people in college or people in there 20's. These games also have great multiplayer value. I think $50 for smash or mario kart 64 is reasonable. Both Zelda games seem to be $30+ as well. But all Zelda, Smash, and Mario Kart games are still valuable. Melee and Double Dash are still expensive games.
@UglyJoe: That Club Nintendo case looks pretty good. I almost wanted to get it, but I got some download codes I already regret getting. I got Dr. Luigi, which is now on 3DS...(dang), Chibi Robo Photo Finder(which sucks unfortunately), and DK Tropical Freeze(which I can't download because it's 11GB and my Wii U doesn't have enough memory. I'm thinking of selling my DK code.
I was kinda mad when I saw that Club Nintendo reduced their prices a few weeks after the new prizes came out. >:( I also had about 1000 coins worth of codes to redeem, but the website kept crashing in the last week the site was up. Oh well, my fault for doing it at the last minute. I was able to buy myself the Year of Luigi 3DS XL case on ebay for about $25, which is nice. People want $50 for it online! I sold my Mewtwo DLC code for smash bros as well as the soundtrack CD.
I'm gonna respectfully disagree since the current versions of both Smash and Mario Kart on the Wii U also cost that much if you buy them online, and they're superior in a lot of ways. For certain quirky or unique games, I get the rising costs, but games that have (better) more current entries shouldn't demand so much money, imo.

I agree that the newer entries have more content and should be worth more, but think of the people who don't want to spend $300 for a Wii U and then new copies of those games. People willing to spend $50 on N64 Smash or Mario Kart would only have to spend less than $100 for the console, and they also buy the game because of nostalgia. I know people who want the N64 Smash or Mario Kart, but also aren't aware of the new Wii U versions. And many people are cashing in on customers like that. ;) These are the type of customers who don't really research before they buy.
The more important thing to realize is that the generation that would have childhood nostalgia for N64 games has reached the age-of-disposable-income.
On top of that, considering that it's a first-party title for a franchise that is still popular, its pre-owned retail cost in the US was $30 at its point of least marketability in 2005/06, and the demand is higher today with a smaller supply, $50-ish bucks sounds completely acceptable--And a quick look at ebay sold listings tends to agree (around $40 each, many in bad shape).
That said, I wouldn't buy it--but I have no childhood nostalgia for the title, so I'm not its market. I just understand why it sells for what it does.
Book-Off. Grand total of 2,600 yen.
(http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y115/ProfessorSmooth/D6909BD9-150C-45C4-996F-46743391A3F0_zpshvncgubr.jpg) (http://s4.photobucket.com/user/ProfessorSmooth/media/D6909BD9-150C-45C4-996F-46743391A3F0_zpshvncgubr.jpg.html)
Nice. I wish I had access to a Book/Hard-Off.
So many of them have started selling stuff at collector prices. But not this one.
I legit feel bad about some of my hauls from this place. Three or four times this year, I've pretty well cleaned them out. Not sure if that's bad etiquette.
Yeah, I heard prices are going up in shops like that in Japan. It's a damn shame. When I go to Japan in a few years, I bet it will be too late to scoop up dirt-cheap deals like that.

If I recall correctly, you're visiting Osaka and Kyoto, yes? I can't speak to the quality/availability of retro games around there. However, it'd be nearly impossible to do any worse than you would in Tokyo. Shoot-for-the-moon prices that dwarf what you'd pay on eBay, Yahoo Auctions, Amazon, etc. And with however many thousands of people visiting every day, that stuff actually sells, so there's no reason to think it'll change any time soon.
I'm right outside Tokyo, and (in general) any store that sells retro games that's within a few blocks of a major train station will have incredibly bad prices and generally terrible selection. Stuff like 4-Player Mah-Jong for 1,000 yen. Places that seem to price their cheapest carts at 500 yen, rather than 100.
If the store's outside of Tokyo, and more easily accessible by walking (or by bus), you'll stand a much better chance finding the kinds of stuff that I post about.
I wouldn't expect to find any of the top-tier stuff in bargain bins, but it does happen from time to time. Supposedly some dude found Recca for 108 yen at a Book-Off not too long ago. I snagged Ninja Turtles 2 and Tournament Fighters (SFC) for 250 each earlier this year
The chain I've been slowly sucking dry as of late is called ZEST. Their selection is pretty good. Their software is more than fairly priced. They sold me boxed, complete Mega Drive and Dreamcast consoles for 4,000 and 3,000 yen, respectively. Not sure if there are any locations in the area you'll be staying in, but it's worth the trip.
Now, on to the haul I posted up there.
The SFC games are mostly fighters I've heard good things about and most were only 100 yen each. The Dragonball Z game w/ Majin Buu was 200, but it usually commands at least twice that in this area so, why not? Work towards completing the set.
Dragonquest III I just picked up because my CiB copy turned out to be missing the instruction booklet. And, again, for 108 yen...sure.
The Game Boy games are all 100%+ complete. All the original paperwork is there (including adverts, and the Wario Stach stickers for Wario Land), plus stuf that WASN't supposed to be there. Donkey Kong included the original registration pamphlet (w/ serial number) for the first version Game Boy console.
It'll probably be a LONG time before I stumble into another haul like this one, and I couldn't be happier w/ it.
^^^When I see people posting the boxed Japanese Game Boy stuff, it really makes me want to collect it as well. Does anyone know how many Game Boy games (b/w) were released in Japan?
I used to play Game Boy for hours on end, finally graduating from Tiger handheld games after my parents got me a GB for Christmas one year (...really it was late, maybe 1995 or 1996).
I have a lot of good memories with Game Boy, love the box art style, love the games. The whole thing just reminds me a lot of the good old NES / Famicom, which I also love dearly.
Nice finds bro! If I were living and working in Japan, I'd probably be hitting up those shops semi-regularly. I guess that means maybe I should find a Japanese girlfriend living in Taiwan, marry her, and convince her to move back home. Hahaha.
Found these at the local thrift store!
(http://i.imgur.com/ZKd8gTm.jpg)
$12.72 for 6 amazing games!
SoM and FFIII for $2 each? Wow. Amazing find :o
Amazing finds DDCecil! You can't find deals like that wher I live, or they are VERY few and far between.
That's been my 2nd best find there! About 10 years ago, I found the following from there:
Snatcher (Sega CD) 4.00
Lunar: Eternal Blue (Sega CD) 4.00
Albert Odyssey (Saturn) 4.00
Dragon Force (Saturn) 4.00
Lucienne's Quest (3D0) 5.00
and both times I almost didn't stop by there!
Haul like that, I'd frame the receipt and show it to my grandkids.
VS. Super Mario Bros. (Arcade to NES conversion done by OCD Reproductions.)

I actually keep most of my game receipts, thought it just says 6 small items on it. Now this is a receipt I show every time someone says new games are too expensive:
Final Fantasy II - SNES - First game I ever bought with my own money!
(http://i.imgur.com/JEyjrpm.jpg)
$75 BUCKS?!?!
That receipt is from 1992, I totally forgot games cost that much new.
Crazy thing is, that was nearly 25 years ago too - 75 bucks itself was a lot more money back then... Even so, that much now for a brand new game isn't cheap!
I remember SNES and Nintendo 64 games were expensive. 500 krona (currently around $60) were considered cheap for a game.
I remember paying like $85 for Pokemon Stadium when it first came out.
Damn, glad I was just a kid then and my parents bought my games for me. The 90s sound expensive. ;D
On a positive note, I just scored a Wii U with Smash 4, a Gamecube controller adapter and a Smash-branded Gamecube controller for $200! I am very happy with this purchase and am currently in the process of setting up Nintendont. :) Anyone familiar with Wii U homebrew? Any tips?
Also got Ness, Greninja and Rosalina amiibos at basically retail price. Now I'm done with Amiibos until Duck Hunt comes out (and Yarn Yoshi...and K.K. Slider...) It's been a good few weeks for the kid in me. Could be worse on my wallet, too.
NOS Performance Adapter for Virtual Boy (it's an excellent display piece.)
(http://i.imgur.com/NZl30yc.jpg)
Well, my Genesis collection has a new centerpiece. I just had to go after this. I'm kind of broke, but it's not everyday you get offered MUSHA locally. It cost me 3 repros and $125 cash.
Nice!!! What were the repros?
Finally got this game at a nice price.
(http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y101/pikkonson/gundam-sfc_zpsdfmmremt.png)
Picked up a gamecube for $5 from a garage sale.
Yea Gamecubes are cheap, I paid $8 for mine 5 years ago and it came with the Gameboy Player adapter.
It's really the cheapest prices Nintendo console ever.
The prices are actually starting to jack up on them, at least locally. I just lucked out on it. :) IMO the Gamecube is the perfect little console and it has a very simple, yet awesome user interface.

I love the Gamecube, it had tons of great games!! I also love the add-ons and stuff for it like the Gameboy Player, Gameboy link cable and e-reader, the microphone and wavebirds!! My favorite game is Chibi-Robo and Pikmin 2! Those games rock 8)
I got my silver Gamecube at Value Village for like $5 and then got a silver Gameboy Player from Japan for like $15. I really like how many colors there are. I want to get an orange one eventually.
The spice orange gamecube is effing sexy!!! I have wanted one for a LOOOOOONG time. The Panasonic Q is nice too but WAY too expensive.

For those here I'm connected with on Instagram (https://instagram.com/juliusviloria858/) and my gaming related Facebook account this is old news... and in general I've retired from forum pickup threads, but thought this was too cool to pass up... about two weeks ago now (??) this little bad boy came in ;)
For a while I've been wanting a bartop/tabletop arcade in the form of a Japanese arcade machine. Finally found a guy who could do it. Complete scratch build from wood... a custom SEGA Astrocity style bartop/tabletop machine!
Loaded with an SLG for scanlines, audio amp, Hyperspin front-end, etc. Built by Rob of Muti Game System (MGS Arcade), he did an amazing job. The details and quality is amazing. Even the inside is beautiful (as posted by his progress pics on Instagram and Facebook) The build took over 6 months, but was totally worth it. Even the joystick panel can be detached and used as a PC/PS3 joystick! There is even an HDMI out and easy to acces USB ports on the rear.
Unfortunately he is currently not taking new orders until he finds a way to produce them faster. Though Rob is currently working on my second machine, a Japanese NeoGeo arcade cab styled bartop ;) However check out his awesome work here:

Got a cool new addition to the CRT stable today, the big version (21" vs the 14") SF-1 Super Famicom TV combo unit with matching controllers. Internally is able to display the Super Famicom picture in RGB.
It's going to great with my 8-bit Famicom Sharp combo TV and the super ultra rare NEC PC-Engine Monitor combo I've got on the way :)

Unfortunately no, however it does have an ext/video out and the SFC expansion port
Still great find. I guess it has AV in jacks at least like a normal TV. SFC expansion port is good but I wonder if a Satellaview fits on it.
I finally got a sealed copy of Vampire Strike, which is a rare LCD game from 1988.

Still great find. I guess it has AV in jacks at least like a normal TV. SFC expansion port is good but I wonder if a Satellaview fits on it.
Thanks :) I highly doubt a Satellaview could be rigged to it without some custom cabling. Since these TVs were released pretty early in the life of the SFC, they probably just added those ports not really knowing the future.
@stealthlurker - That mini AC is amazing. I've finally seen the item from your collection I will always be envious of! :-*
Proof that my wife loves me and wants me to be happy.

Nice one! That's the good Ghostbusters game!
You mean the OTHER good Ghostbusters game ;)
Love the music in the SMD Ghostbusters, but I found the bosses hard as nails, or at least they were as a kid when I rented it one weekend.
Some ebay scores.
Sailor Moon S - Jougai Rantou,Dragon Ball Z - Hyper Dimension and a Super Adapter that has all of the pins ;D

The Sailor Moon S fighting game is awesome. A bunch of girls beating up on eachother. ;D And the music! :o
Very nice fighting game scores, and I LOVE the way you have your collection set up. It's like a fortress of boxes surrounding the carts.
Micky Mania is an awesome game!
Thanks guys. :)
Tomorrow I am helping my father in law clean out his garage. He said he has a super Nintendo and a stack of games I can have in return. Hopefully there's some good stuff in there. I'll post pics when I get it home.
After about a 7 month absence, I return!
Here we have my haul from Anime Weekend Atlanta a couple of weeks ago! Got the Final Fantasy and Pokemon Crystal for just $6 each and I ended up paying a fair price for all the other games, but it was nice to not have to wait or pay for shipping ;D

Jealous of that Banjo tooie. Nice grabs all around!!
Haha yeah, the funny thing is that in general I'm not too interested in N64 stuff, but since my ex stole my Banjo-Kazooie 1 and 2 years ago I decided why not replace them since I had the money that weekend.
EDIT: Although I would like to own a CIB copy of the Neon Genesis Evangelion N64 game, come to think of it, so I guess I do have a slight interest in the system.

Antique store, 30 bucks.
Still not sure if I believe it.
R-Type is fricken awesome by the way.
Yeah, I was never a huge fan of how they tweaked the checkpoints for Super R-Type (now you always go back to the beginning of a stage when you die), but it's a pretty solid port of R-Type 2 otherwise.
I would love to own R-Type III for the SNES, but that game is now disgustingly expensive...maybe I'll luck out at some other antique mall in the future :)
The SNES rtype was my first taste of rtype so I just assumed that was always how it worked (starting from the beginning)

Ah, the school of hard knocks! :D
Although R-Type is hard knocks no matter how you swing it. Actually, some of the checkpoints in R-Type games are probably MORE punishing than being sent back to the beginning since you would be thrust into a situation where slow speed and no Force meant instant death.
Finally found a replacement for my Japanese Megadrive - the old one works, but the case is cracked.

It's a late model "all-Asia" (NTSC-J) console with TMSS and VA7 motherboard for those interested :) I've read that's supposed to mean inferior sound, but I have one of those SCART cables that incorporates the stereo headphone jack too, and it sounds fine compared to every other Megadrive/Genesis of various revisions I've had. Maybe I'm just tone deaf.

That copy of Kenseiden is indeed beautiful, all those games are, in fact. Gotta be honest, Dahren, you're making me really want to purchase a Mark III... if it could play US/EUR SMS carts I'd do so in a heart beat.
Just grab a JP SMD and the adaptor or a Mega Everdrive and you're all set ;)

L__E__T said that the email was in their profile and that you could send them an email from there if you want. He was unaware at the time he wrote that post that the email was only visible to mods. We can't give that info out. I am sorry.
What I can offer though as P suggested, is to have you give me your email address and I can send them an email on your behalf asking if they can contact you and then give them your email address
My previous suggestion was to send them a PM through FamicomWorld and see if they reply. In threads under each members name there are a few icons you can click. Click the one that looks like a rolled up green paper. That is the PM button.
Yes sorry for the confusion - I said I could not pass on his e-mail address, it would not be fair.
The above suggestion sounds more appropriate though.

Picked up these at my new work place. Was rather surprised to even find them there, let alone for cheap.
Nice. Do you work in a used game store/good will/something similar?
I do as of two-ish weeks ago now. It's been a fun job so far.
Been on a Famicom buying spree after being out of buying games for years. Got about 50 carts in a few month span, and I've never owned legit Famicom carts before, so this has been fun.
Famicom Colors R.O.B. Amiibo! He's surprisingly detailed, although I wish the head weren't turned.
(http://i.imgur.com/kSimySCl.jpg)
Very nice! I thought about getting one, but I just never got round to it...
Very nice! I want one too!
I like the Famicom ROB, but $20 is a lot for an Amiibo. My girlfriend has a huge stash of Amiibo to sell and we have 2 of the Retro 3 Pack with ROB (along with Mr. Game & Watch and Duck Hunt) and the ROB Amiibo is pretty detailed.
What are your thoughts on Amiibo? Do you have any and which one is your fave/most wanted? I like the 30th anniversary Mario ones, I have the Chibi Robo one, and I really want a Smash Luigi one because he's the only character I really play as in Smash Bros/Mario Kart.
I got a first print Villager Amiibo for christmas when it first launched. I sold it for $100, and when my girlfriend saw that she became an Amiibo reseller instantly :P Her mom also was obsessed with buying them. Neither of them are gamers, although her mom bought herself a Zelda Game & Watch in '89 which is kinda random! (She gave that Zelda to me! )

Although I have none (yet) I love the concept. It's a smart business strategy as well I think. You can't just pirate them like you can with software (at least not until 3D printers gets much better and cheaper).
I'd love to get a Link, Marth, ROB (Famicom color), or Rockman (normal blue one) maybe. They are a bit expensive though and I don't own any games that uses them. I haven't spent much time on modern games lately, so it will have to wait a bit longer before I get my first Amiibo.
How long did it take for him to send it? He ignored me once he got me my money and has numerous reviews about fradulently selling bootlegs. Now I guess he has moved up to outright theft.
Bogniforus are you posting in the correct thread? It's not clear you you're directing your complaint toward.

Yet another small score. And yes, I've already region modded for TG-16 games too. Plus AV modded it, which took zero effort as it natively outputs composite anyway.
https://www.game-tech.us/product/turbo-duo-pc-engine-region-mod-kit/ (https://www.game-tech.us/product/turbo-duo-pc-engine-region-mod-kit/)
Super easy kit to install, took me maybe an hour fiddling with aligning pins.
Okay, so I've been looking for a deal on this one for 19 years and finally just realized... you know what? I didn't have the money or means to pay for this when it was much cheaper, but I have PLENTY of rare and uncommon games I've spent money on in the meantime but never wanted anywhere near as much as I wanted this (games I got super deals on, like Trip World for $13 USD and Final Fantasy for $2.) I won't lie - it was expensive, in the low $1000s, but I've already sold enough to make up about 70% of what I paid (that along with taking care of our neighbor's animals for a week, which got me about $300), and the rest will come when I take care of those animals again next month. Also, yes, this copy was on eBay recently, but I negotiated a few hundred dollars off the price from the seller, so I definitely did not pay what he was asking originally.
So, here it is: my personal gaming holy grail. I'll also link to my Instagram Super Nintendo account if anyone wants to check out what I'm doing over there, since this was my most recent photo there. By the way, I forgot to photograph the right side of the box, but it is sunfaded like the top of it is. both sunfaded sides show a price tag of about 11,300 JPY - anyone know if that's an original price tag? What did Super Famicom games go for originally?

I would say it is :) please get it RGB modded!
- NuSilver - super happy for you, an incredible find in that condition!!
It's not counterfeit. I checked the label and opened up the system to check. It's real! Came with power supply and RF switch. I already had an SNES controller so I wasn't worried about that! My friend is gonna do the mod for me. Pretty excited!
Good, it's really a good deal. :D More controllers are easy to find too. Be sure to get a good RGB cable for it. Not one of those cheap ones, they are even worse than RF.
Very nice! The photo just makes it look weird I think, I thought the case might have been painted. Congrats :)
If you can get it modded cheaply it's an even better deal - I paid £100 for my RGB prepped SNES Mini in that condition... That is (well, was!) $150 to put it into perspective.

Picked up a 20" PVM today, looks great and was 100% worth the price for me. A far cry from the 13" Commodore 1084s I was using! Lucky I nabbed it for the price I did, apparently 3 people messaged the bloke after the auction ended and offered $100AU+ over the sale price. Decent sized PVM's rarely pop up here in Australia

Yes! Love playing RGB Famicom on PVM now. I still like composite Famicom on a small CRT but playing in RGB really brings the scanlines on a PVM to their best.

It's an (early?) 70's era Nintendo mahjongg yakuman set.
That looks awesome! I really want to get into Mahjong but not really sure where to start :)
Awesome indeed! Great find, I'm jealous! :)
Quote from: L___E___T on March 14, 2017, 09:07:22 amI really want to get into Mahjong but not really sure where to start :)
I'd start by learning the basic rules and then try to memorize all of the easiest yaku (kind of like hands in poker).
Then you can play a Famicom or arcade (via Mame) mahjong game. Arcade mahjong are often 2 player so their rules are a bit simplified from the standard 4 player game.
Recommended links:
http://mahjonginmame.com
Learn mahjong by the use of Mame. Here you can learn the basic rules and all the yaku. It also recommends what arcade mahjong games are good for learning.
http://www.sloperama.com/mjfaq.html
Great source of information for about anything mahjong. Tom Sloper covers things like what differs all the kinds of mahjong rules all over the world, what parts your set may or may not be missing and where to buy mahjong stuff. He also has a homepage for hanafuda.
Edit: Oh yes you also need to learn to recognize the following kanji:
Numbers 1 to 9 (一～九)
Tenthousand (万 and the traditional Chinese 萬)
The four cardinal directions (東南西北)
Middle (中)
send out, emit (発 and the traditional Chinese 發)
Especially the numbers and cardinal directions needs to be memorized or you won't be able to play. The others are pretty obvious once you see them (for example 中 is usually red so you know it's the "red dragon" as it's called in English).
Well I beg to differ, let's refer to them as Chinese characters, 漢字, not kanji...kanji was borrowed from Chinese characters, lol.
Well you are not wrong. Talking about Japanese rules (AKA riichi mahjong) I think it's OK to use Japanese terms though. And if you are going to play video game mahjong, the majority will be riichi mahjong and use Japanese terms.
漢字 is written as "kanji" in Japanese Hepburn romanization and "hànzì" in Chinese pinyin romanization (and of course pronounced differently due to the differences in the two languages and the passage of time since the Japanese borrowed the characters during the Heian period).
An interesting thing is that I've seen Chinese mahjong sets use the Japanese variant of the character for emit for the "green dragon".
Emit characters:
Chinese Traditional: 發
Chinese Simplification: 发
Japanese Simplification: 発
So you'd expect only Japanese sets to use 発 for the green dragon, but I often see Chinese sets use it as well.
My video art hobby has unintentionally coaxed me back into retro gaming. As I searched for a great CRT to use as my canvas, I realized that the reason most anyone is still interested in good CRTs are so they can play old games on them. I picked up this Sony PVM-20M2U last week and it is a welcomed size increase from my 1354Q. For those that don't know, PVM stands for Professional Video Monitor, and was used in places like video/news production studios and hospitals. Now I use them to glitch old VHS tapes and play SNES via S-video. ;D
(http://i.imgur.com/uOyfmms.jpg)
Going to get a SNES Jr. and perform an RGB output mod soon to really get the most bang for my buck outta this thing.
(I also picked up a nice-looking Kenwood LaserDisc player recently, which now sits on top of this monitor. Might post a pic of that when I actually get a LaserDisc to use with it)
EDIT: I see someone already beat me to the 20" PVM punch. Good people here.
Nice get! Incidentally, I have the exact same PVM set, and I'm very happy with it indeed - get that RGB SNES set up! :P
The Kindle / eBook edition of The Untold History of Japanese Game Developers Volume 2 is free for the next 24 hours or so. Some really interesting interviews in here:

I didn't take a pic cause it's HUGE, but couple days ago I got the collector's edition of Persona 5. I preordered it a year ago! Persona 4 was my favorite game ever, and so far this one migggggght be better. A little early to say, but just wow.
In fact persona, and the other SMT games are part of the reasons I bought a Famicom. Since two of my earliest games for it were Megami Tensei 1 & 2.
I'm gonna try to post more on here. Latest loot! AWAAAAAAAAA!

You never cease to dumbfound us with your incredible finds, FamicomFreak!
By the way, I finally completed my NES black box collection (without the boxes, though) by getting Clu Clu Land for less than $20.
Thanks!!!! More loot coming up! That's good about the black box games! The boxes are a bitch to get mostly because they're pricey well not all of them! I have stuff from Japan coming soon I hope
I found Nintendo Land at my local used game store for $5 so I bought it. ;D

Just a little more to add to my mess. Was fortunate to have the mini fall in my lap.
Picked the up on ebay for $9.99 as a gift to myself for my 22nd birthday (notice the doodles on the calender ;D). I've known about the Pokemon ROM hacks since i started retro gaming in like '09/'10 but never got around to finding one in the wild and finally caved. Back then i used to think they were official too XD

Picked these two up from the same guy i got my last 3 Famicom games from (the non-bootleg games) and he gave me a deal with these two+ eX Driver DVD movie

Not a great find, but I saw a Golden Sun: Dark Dawn cartridge at a local Gamestop for $15, so I bought it and was happy to find that it also came with the case and instruction booklet in pristine condition.

Too bad it is cart only, since most of my set is CIB, but given the overall rarity as well as the price I paid, I'm happy.
I went to a Japanese language and culture festival this weekend which also had a flea market to benefit the local Japanese language school.
For $7 total I think it was a great deal :)

Picked up some great deals at an anime convention over the weekend! About $80 total. Also yes I like trashy super robot games ;D

Just this for a awesome price on amazon.

Super Famicom Classic Mini
I was gonna save money now after New Year but I found this in my local Yodobashi so ended up buying it. It has Star Fox 2 after all, and it's also two SFC Classic Controllers, not mentioning being much cheaper than in Sweden. I guess it's true that Nintendo produced lots of units this time because several was just laying there on the shelf ready to be picked up without pre-orders or anything.
Bought Umihara Kawase boxed for 5000 yen from Yahoo auctions. It usually goes for 7-8000 in stores
Wife got me this Namco collection vinyl for our anniversary. It's clear with color splashes and looks pretty cool in motion. Also the Splatterhouse ending music is great. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180414/43ea3d770d5e459c3840f9ee2d8fe2f3.jpg)
Very nice UglyJoe! I don't have any vinyl, but that is something I am probably going to get into next, and what better than some classic video game tunes? ;D
He is going to hook it up to his old PSX and play Vib Ribbon to that tunes all the day! That's exactly what he will do ;)
Yoooo is that an SL-1200?
Got this little gem from my local dealer. He had anouther but times are tough and I could only pick up this one for now. Has the "Pockemon" platformers from some of the Korean famicom pirate carts

My #SuperSmashBros Melee Japanese store kiosk demo came scratch free. There are 2 commercials For Melee, Pikmin and demos for both games. A Gamecube promo video as well. Feels so weird playing this in 2018. I remember getting Smash the first day at #Blockbuster for the holidays.
No new videos yet, possibly tomorrow. I also got a ton of FDS disks but I haven't finished sorting them out yet.

I'm no sure. It may be based of 1.0's engine or possibly an earlier build. I did find this page which give more information and a marginal examination of all known releases of Super Smash Bros. Melee.: https://www.deviantart.com/connorrentz/journal/A-List-of-Every-Known-Super-Smash-Bros-Melee-ISO-745931005
I still need a few more versions to complete my collection but I have the extremely rare versions including a few demos already.

*surf music plays* oh man I forget how long it was since we owned this game. Also finally Alien Syndrome! Time to immerse into fun. Hope I don't crash and burn!
And yesterday, from the Retro Gaming Convention I went to (I have some videos as well) I picked up NES Qix for 15, Klax for 5 and Cool Boarders 2 for 3.

I got as much as I could at Surugaya and Ojamakan in Kyoto, especially Surugaya had lots of good games. A few finds at Nara Hard Off but their game section is small and prices slightly above Kyoto.
Anyway, Akihabara has the tourist prices I expected, but Trader Hq had good prices on some games. I can recommend any Surugaya outside of Akihabara, the one in Shinjuku had a good stock and almost Kyoto prices.
I went to a "Japan market" thing in Stockholm today, and at one of the tables I see a couple boxed SFC games, a Sailor Moon game and.. Hyper Iria. As I saw the box standing behind another with the price tag of 200 SEK(18 Euro, 20 dollars maybe?) I walked further to see if it would actually be 2000, but no it actually WAS 200.
(https://i.imgur.com/k162bmX.jpg)
That price for Hyper Iria boxed is insanely low, I'm somewhat sure it would be 10 times that if sold at a Super Potato or ebay, the cheapest on Yahoo auctions right now is 20000 yen(1700 SEK). And this table was on the other side of the room of Japanspel (fredJ 's shop) :)
The box even contained a photo of the woman(I assume) who played Iria in the live-action movie based on the OVA, with what I think is passwords written on the back. Not signed or anything, but still very cool.
A good day.
That's an awesome find! Not only a cool game, but that photo with passwords makes it even more unique! It kind of has a story to tell... congratulations!
Hyundai Super Comboy 1 player bundle with 2 games(Super Mario World, Donkey Kong Country) with all original cables and adapter for ₩170000($140). Not exactly a good deal but I'm still happy!
Edit: I also got a SFC Top Racer 2 cart(or Top Gear 2 if you live in the US) with the Super Comboy
Okay, not a game, but this beauty was on the sidewalk on my walking route.
I took it home, plugged it in, pressed the DVD tray buttons, and it works! :o Now I've just gotta clean it up and see if all the connectors work. I hope it can still reads DVDs.
Edit: BTW, it goes over 100 channels. I don't have an RF Famicom, but still... if anyone finds a Sansui TV like this, get it!
Edit: the DVD player doesn't work and there's a red tint at the corner of the screen. :(
Edit: I opened up the TV to try to see what's wrong with the DVD player, but the damn thing is too much to get to: wires all connected/soldered to the bracket, screws I can't get to unless I completely disconnect the CRT screen. >:(

Oooh good find! Was it expensive?
Not especially pricey. It was on sale in Japan (still is, I think) so I got a friend to buy and ship it for me.
Dang, been after a set of those for ages! Can't find one for a decent price.
Like I said, Nintendo has them on sale right now if you have a contact with a Nintendo Switch Online account:

I bought this lightly used fully functional Gameboy Light for $56.
Great deal! The GBL is my favourite version of the original pre-GBC Gameboys. Great price for a Silver, let alone a Gold.
Yes, I was excited when I won the bid on a gold one especially one in such good condition.
Neon Advance for $40
Got a official sfc rgb cable,already swap the pins around so now it's wired for euro scart.

That Famicom TV! Hope you can boot it up and show us some games in action - very keen to see how 'sharp' it looks! :crazy:
Me too! :) I also hope you can figure out how to connect NES or maybe Famicom controllers to it.
Just be careful when repairing it, as you might know, TVs has high voltage and can be dangerous if not handled correctly.
Did you know there are such wonderfull Commodore 64 games PCB ? I'll leave it here for inspiration :)
I never had a C64 but those are very cool!
Quote from: P on December 05, 2020, 02:42:46 pmI never had a C64 but those are very cool!
I had one, but I destroyed it.
Could someone tell me where I can buy a CM64 to collect?
(https://ghegs.com/Files/FestersQuest.jpg)
Picked up Fester's Quest on NES and hey, I actually kind of like it. I like how the game takes place on this large map, and under it with the sewers, even if the route through is quite linear. This is the US version which I understand is inferior to the PAL one, but all my other NES games are US ones and I didn't want to have a single PAL game in there. The PAL version is also considerably more expensive than the US one.
But more interestingly, Brook recently released Wingman SNES, the accessory I've been wanting for ~15 years in my quest to find the ultimate controller to playing NES/Famicom games. It always struck me as strange that there was never a PS2-to-NES -controller adapter, when there was an adapter for PS2-to-pretty much everything else ever. But finally, here's a "Pretty much everything-to-NES" -adapter, and it can map buttons as rapid fire and even more importantly, it allows remapping buttons. Oh, how I've wished for that. I can finally create the a very comfortable button configuration where I have normal B and normal A next to each other, and then I have turbo B and normal A as well, for when you need to switch between the two choices quickly by just moving your thumb over the other set of buttons. Or I could just have turbo B on a shoulder button. No more fiddling with the rapid fire setting mid-game when you need to occasionally charge a shot or something.
And I can fix the few games that for some unfathomable reason flipped B and A around, just remap the buttons on the controller the proper way. It's a dream come true.
Well, almost. You can only remap the A and B buttons, but not Start and Select. Why's that of concern? Because in some games, like Recca, Batman, and Gun-Dec, those buttons are used to switching speed or weapons, and letting go of either the d-pad or the face buttons mid-game is annoying. This would allow for much smoother gameplay. I'm hopeful they'll add it in, since the device originally didn't work on the Analogue NT Mini (it worked fine on my AV Famicom), but less than two weeks after I had sent them a mail asking if it would be possible to add support to it, they released a firmware update that fixed it. So hopefully they'll accommodate this wish as well.
It supports both wired and wireless controllers and since it accepts USB controllers, I imagine it's fairly future-proof. Though it doesn't automatically work with everything USB, I first tried with the Switch Horipad, and it actually lacked the A button completely. I'm using it now with the Xbox 360 Horipad EX Turbo, for the even more added convenience of having turbo capabilities built into the controller as well. Works great, and it's not even officially listed in the website as a supported controller.
The adapter also works as a "Pretty much everything-to-SNES" -adapter but not having one of those, this will be exclusive to NES/Famicom use for me. I'm sure some here might find it of interest, though.
I bought Stunt Race FX at a local game shop for $15. I never really played this game myself, but I figured why not?
That's a nice find! :) I loved the game back in the day, borrowing it from a childhoodfriend who had it. It got mixed reviews as some people apparently didn't like the slightly sluggish pace (which is supposedly because the hardware isn't able to handle it any faster but the EAD team and Argonaut took advantage of this and designed the game around this constraint) and slightly unstable physics, but I loved it and it sold very well anyway.
It's an interesting part of early 3D racing game history that is often forgotten (the Super FX chip was an early type of 3D video hardware for video games after all). It's a Nintendo racing game for sure, kind of a spiritual successor to Excitebike, F1 Race/Famicom Grand Prix series, F-Zero and Super Mario Kart and also has similarities to both Wave Race 64 and F-Zero X. The 3D makes it play very differently from mode 7 games like F-Zero and SMK and employs much more realistic physics (despite being a "cartoony" racing game). It is much easier than SMK though, you race more against the clock than against the CPU opponents.
I especially loved the Stunt Trax mode back in the day, in which case 4WD is the best car by far due to its powerful engine and low-torque off-road capability. It's also great for beginners in other modes on Easy due to its high acceleration and strong body. Once you get better Coupé is a better choice, it's a good balanced car for intermediate players. F-Type has the best top-speed for advanced players but with a weak body and sensitive steering. The two-wheeled car 2WD is generally best once you unlock it and learn to handle it (except in Stunt Trax mode of course where 4WD is always king).
Trailer is crazy and only played on the bonus track.
Make sure you play the game from the beginning with an empty save file (the manual has the button combination for erasing the data, this erases all records though). The Free Run mode is only available in the beginning and it has a unique track. It is later replaced by the Free Trax mode once you complete Speed Trax at least once, and you will never see that unique track again (or at least until the data is erased again).
Battle Trax is the 2-player mode and it has 4 unique tracks not available in any other mode. You can still play it 1-player by not touching one of the two controllers, the CPU will take over shortly after start. You can actually "play" it 0-player by not touching either controller.
Today I have the Japanese version "Wild Trax", unlike the English version it has a "story" in the manual, according to that the game apparently takes place in America IIRC.

For whatever reason, I had the idea you were playing as toy R.C. cars. Is this not the case?
I don't think the story mentioned R.C. cars and it seems to take place on real-sized roads with the heavy physics of real cars. The eyes of the cars were supposedly added in pretty late to give some more character to the game, which was developed like quite a realistic car racing game. The fact that the largest and heaviest of the cars (4WD) is the beginner car with fastest acceleration might be part of this realism, as a larger engine normally means better acceleration, instead of the usual F-Zero/Mario Kart tradition that usually goes something like this:
light vehicle = fast accel, slow topspeed, bad at collisions and good at off-road driving
heavy vehicle = slow accel, fast topspeed, good at collisions and bad at off-road driving
Then some variant of these but with some other quirk, like better tire grip.
There actually is an R.C. mode as part of Stunt Trax that you can unlock if you beat the 4 regular Stunt Trax tracks, which supposedly uses R.C cars, the main difference is the camera view though as physics seems the same. It's sort of like a cat-and-mouse-demolition-derby-arena-game (but only 1-player so it's not like Mario Kart's battle mode and you are always cat), the opponent cars lacks the eyes in this mode making them much less personal. It's a sort of crazy mode with strange camera angles, but it's also one of my favorite modes, you just gotta love the music!
Recently I bought a Mega Drive 6-button controller on Allegro, the premier Polish on-line auction service. For how much? An equivalent of roughly $15. That's right, fifteen bucks, for a 6-button MD controller, Japanese version (shorter cord and slightly smaller dimensions, but that's what I needed). At the same time I'm selling RetroBit replicas because they might feel good at first glance, but ultimately the build quality isn't as good as the original's.
Ah the Fighting Pad 6B (SJ-6000) that's my favorite controller for the Mega Drive, and you got it for a good price. I prefer it over the original 3-button MD controller as it has higher quality d-pad that is less sensitive to accidental diagonal presses. I also have that Japanese version with the blue START button, the cord is long enough IMHO.
The SJ-6000 is also what the highly praised Saturn controller (HSS-0101) is based on, so it's a popular controller indeed.
