Awesome stuff you've just bought (+pics please)

[Doctor Butler]

OMG!!!!

[shmuppyLove]

I don't even want to know how much it's going for these days. Especially a complete boxed set.

[Stompp]

Picked up Vasara (defect sadly, but I hope to get it up and running again) and Night Raid from the post office today. The weekend is saved

Was led to believe I was getting a coffee mug with the Pengo LE set. More like an espresso shooter with a handle attached.

Japan.

Best mug ever!!!!!!

[SuperPang]

I think it's kawaii ^_^ Should've gone for that edition myself. Pengo is great.

The last one I needed





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.

The SCART lead is a Saturn RGB cable by the maker(s) of my Dreamcast VGA lead. Makes it less bothersome to display RGB on PAL CRTs using NTSC Saturn and generic Euro SCART Saturn cable (the TVs are no longer wishy-washy about whether the signal is RGB or composite).

Trickstyle doesn't have a 60 Hz mode in 480i, but works on a VGA monitor (where it's 60 Hz all right). To give Criterion credit where it's due, from what little I've played either way the game seemed essentially the same, as if 50 Hz was fully optimised.



Another LG 19'' CRT bought for peanuts, this time with Dreamcast in mind. Too burnt-out to be of much use in, say, Metropolis Street Racer, but now I can peacefully bid farewell to a couple of even more experienced monitors.

Welcome to the club, I've used mine every day for 3 years or so. Love it <3

you just forgot the legendary attract .

it came !

[drauch]

Wait... what the fuck? Rocco was in a Dreamcast ad!?

[Obiwanshinobi]

Acclaim ad, more like. I've always found the first Burnout a tad obscene... and it would be just around the corner at the time. If you ask me, video games don't need to go any further in this direction than Burnout (2001) went. No wonder 2&3 seem sanitised in comparison.

Curious what magazine that Acclaim ad was in.

[KennyMan666]

So!

There was a retro game fair here today. While I did not bring back as many games as I did last year, I got some nice loot.

First up:


This year's big purchase (though last year I didn't have one big purchase, rather multiple smaller ones... I guess the Donpachi was the biggest one, and I'm pretty sure I bought that from the same dude) was the Game Boy Player, and from the same person bought the drum games. And then picked up a cheap Vice City Stories because eh why not, I got Liberty City Stories recently.


And for things that aren't actual games, first up we have the Twin Tiger Shark mug and t-shirt (that's too small for me, but, heh) that I won in the Twin Tiger Shark scoring competition, set of six shot glasses and coasters, miniature Ufouria cartridge keyring. The perlers and Kid Icarus cards were freebies.


Detail of the inner bottom of the shot glasses.

And, finally:

No comment needed, really.

wow... if that was a "used" stick, it's extremely clean.

Is that the one where they compare a guy who played Burnout to a guy who didn't, claiming that the former smokes after sex, and the latter apologizes?

I distinctly remember that particular line, but I can't find the ad on Google.

[opt2not]

Got a few things in the last little while.

Some CIB GBA games, a couple compilation discs, a loose Castlevania:Circle of the Moon, and a NES retroport adapter for the GC/Wii:


Also got some new labels from Jasen at jasenscustoms, and a nicer CPS2 case for my SSF2:T (the original case to my SSF2:T that was all cracked up to shit and the label sticker wasn't even salvageable).


The Gradius 2 label is for my original famicom version cart. It holds an NES famicom adapter taken from an old Duck Hunt, and the original pcb from the famicom cart.


Looks nice in the set.



The SD2SNES label is installed on a Killer Instinct black cart that I had to cut slots for the ports, I think it turned out pretty clean.

[Stealthlurker]

a bit more processing...

forgot about this guy yesterday






nothing fancy, filled in some gaps in the ol' PC-Engine collection






Creepy! Based on the very old custom of "Hyaku Monogatari" (100 ghost stories).... light a bunch of candles, tell a ghost story, blow a candle out... rinse and repeat until all candles are out.

Nice, may I ask how much you paid for the Wonderwitch?

I posted about this a little while ago but it's finally arrived. Single handed cut and thrust with leather grip and blackened fittings.

Nice, may I ask how much you paid for the Wonderwitch?

$330 + $80 shipping.

Certainly painful, considering the whole rest of my WonderSwan stuff was $20 total...

[Some-Mist]

just got this today - a book by Justin Pearson (bassist and co-vocalist for The Locust and owner of Three One G Records)

Aside from Cardinal Sins, what is there to do with a Wonderwitch?

Write programs/games/whatever for WonderSwan
