This is one of my buys out of my failure to download any half-decent "backup" of it. When I got to search for a CD, an LP appeared much easier to get hold of, not even massively expensive, but I SO wanted just a CD. And here it is.
Reminds me of Red House Painters in a way (I realise that Wipers are The Daddy, chronologically, in this case).

My friends and I pitched in and bought a trip to the North Pole to see the Northern Lights. It has been my childhood dream to see this magic happening. Still I can't explain this phenomenon in terms of physics but nevertheless I hope to see it in 2 weeks myself

Should be a great experience. I was in Alaska back in August of '99. Hit Seward, Anchorage, Fairbanks and some spots in between. Lived out of an Explorer, a back pack, and on the kindness of a few strangers.

I did get to see the lights up in Fairbanks. They were dim since it was August but they were there. Travel safe and have a great time.

Tate's was having a sale, so:







Black Cat is my weakness.

I thought it was a Hero Academia character at first. I'm losing it.

Nice GET.

Just gave it a good 2 hours of play. This is a fantastic port. Looks stunning on my arcade monitor in its native res. Glad I skipped the MD Mini and waited.

Darius is a great series imo.

Here I go again: Red House Painters play a song in the movie, as do The Who. One to re-watch once, when sober, then.

It's a good series that I always come back to. The MD port of Darius 2 is still a good game and this is in spite of it beign an early title too.

After 34 years, X68000 finally gets official release of Ys I and II. Beep went all out, gorgeous release.

Wow, that looks great.

Beep are amazing

I'm a no-nonsense furniture kind of person.

Among several others there (all the Voivods), mahfuckin Pornography is an album whose art demands to be viewed in LP format. Deathrockers gon getcha!

Absofuckinglutely. classic and haunting/trippy

And i also found Mercyful Fate's Melissa to be downright INTIMIDATING in LP form. I'm not even exagerrating, I had a ''holy shit'' moment, seeing it on an LP sleove for the first time in person.

Hell yeah. Plenty more "hell yeahs" on that list, but was just talking to a bud about how great this album is. Another crotchety friend of mine who just spat out his third kid was kinda getting back into metal (and music in general) not long ago. I expressed fondness for this and that he needed it. That and Beherit's Drawing Down the Moon. Hopefully mass children does not keep him off track!

The other day I ordered a repeller to fix my cousin's problem with mice in his house. Hope it will help Decided not to use poison as it has lots of disadvantages.

yeah, In The nightside Eclipse is so damn good. I'm actually not a big fan of their later records, but that one is a straight up masterpiece however you slice it. the songs are so well done, the artistic vision is laser-focused, and it's a cool one : it's chaotic, anthemic in spots, and some huge ass dissonant riffs on which they went all out, cranking some excellent and savage ones.

Found a copy of the T-30810G version of Shutsudou Minisuka Police for the Sega Saturn.
Of course this is a japanese game where you complete minigames, in order to have female police officers to somehow undress, or make nice things for you.

Once again, this standard version in single CD case is way rarer than the limited version of the game (cardboard, double CD case, figurine). Took me more than 2 years of checking ebay and YAJ daily to get this one.
I missed one on YAJ in 2020, was surprised to see it go for more than $450 (with spine and reg card). This one popped out on ebay march 2021 and went underradar, got it in the $30 range (no spine card though).

Lol that's awesome. I've been thinking of collecting Red/Yellow label Saturn games.

Lovely: japanese lady cops in PVC/Latex/Rubber for the Saturn

Are there lots of 'these games' on the Saturn? I only ever played Shmups on it and nothing else - bit of a babe in the Shmup woods myself it seems

There are a fair number, yeah.

Oooh yes: we have some sexy lady cops patrolling Berlin: nice uniforms - deary me.

Any simulation recommendations on the Saturn?

Get those cds burnin'

If you meant the "sexy" games, it's a lot of mahjong and mini-game stuff. I'm not too familiar with the non-Mahjong titles.

I have the red labels too (big picture, let it load), some are pretty hard to come by. I did not take time to sort out of the yellow label, which ones are actually adults and which ones are not.

Thanks GuiGui.

I did indeed mean the 'sexy games' I know of pretty much the titles you listed apart from this
