Thanks :) Love Pioneer stuff...

Onkyo Dolby Atmos set up... can't remember the model number, it's fairly mid-range but more than powerful enough for my living room - the wife keeps complaining because the bass from the sub makes the floor vibrate (our bedroom is on the floor above)! lol

Yeah, anything more powerful would just be wasted sadly.[/quote]

Awesome the atmos stuff is really impressive I have a onkyo 608 myself playing mgs revangance in Dolby 7.1 was ridiculous a couple years ago.

I would really like to get some pioneer stuff in the future but I bought a lower end denon AV receiver for my bro and its pretty impressive, I wonder what a higher end would be like . :shock:
Arms installation complete Good luck

A bit like Saturn RSG, that's just one of those quintessential jewels in an NTSCJ library's crown isn't it? :mrgreen: Congrats, looks sharp!

Thanks BIL! Haha yes, indeed! :) This is definitely high up on the list of games that have had a large impact on me so I'm super stoked to finally own it!

I'm quite pleased about the condition and the disc was in superb shape as well! Having that said, a lot of times I find a small scuff here and there to just add to the charm (as long as the games look aesthetically pleasing overall). Makes me glad to see that the games have brought entertainment to whoever the previous owners were :)

Heck yea! Not many on here who actually have an interest in that stuff. Even with my horrible wreck in 2014, I am still avid on riding. Looks sweet!

Oldest cart in my library by some margin and astonishingly crisp for its age (a bit like me!). Box to cart form factor scandalously tight, oo guvna. Game itself ain't half bad either! Ala Excitebike and Spartan X, whack on "Game B" for instant arcade funnin with timelessly bold early NCLpixels. Punching things in the face figures heavily.

Thankies. :mrgreen: Held off on several beat-up copies over the years. Slow n' steady is how I do! A little edge wear is totally fine by me, but as pestro said used =/= abused. :cool:

Wow, that's a fantastic looking copy of Popeye! Congrats BIL! A bit off-topic but do you know if there's any gameplay difference between Popeye and Popeye English which was also released in the pulse line FC series? Just curious :) Thanks

EDIT: lol nevermind, wikipedia tells me that it's a spin-off educational game to teach English. I've seen it for sale, was always curious as to what it was but never looked into it. :oops:

I used to have my console games on shelves in a closet:

...but after finding mold in one of the corners, I decided to get rid of the closet doors and put my games in a case:

Image

I also recently completed my underground noise making dungeon with a drum kit that a friend sold me for practically nothing:

After two days practicing drums, I'd like to announce that if there are any surf guitarists looking for a drummer, I'm your guy. :lol:

A couple mobile controllers, Moga Hero Power and iCade Mobile (despite obviously not fitting in the holder, it works with iPad since it works just like the other iCades and even works with some Android emulators).

I haven't even played this game yet. it's near the top of my hit list for when I finally get a PS4, but I dig the bit I've heard and didn't wanna get caught late to the party like I was with the FEZ OST. I'm a sucker for vinyl (and great artwork).

From Kickstarter - the 'Crash of 29' watch. It's a new case/face/etc but a restored movement from 1897, came in a lovely presentation case. Not cheap though, and the taxes hurt. It's quite large but for the size wears really well, I'm incredibly happy with it!

Thanks Stevens :) Now that I finally have a PCE, I'm starting to wonder how I could have ever lived without one. Been having a fantastic time with the games so far!

Nice watch system11!

I got a new printed glass and blacked out bezel for another 5600 custom. Was my first glass swap, not easy, but I'm happy with the results :D

Some gets from japan, just got back:

Para Para Paradise, The Silver Case, Shikigami no Shiro 1, Tengai Makyou IV, Busin 0: Wizardry Alternative Neo(unlocalized sequel to Wizardry: Tale of the Forsaken Land)

I've been after The Silver Case and Busin 0 for a while now. SnS1 was to wash the taste of Mobile Light Force 2 off my shelf.

I wish I'd bought this, but alas, disposable income:

Seeing this made my jaw DROP. But I didn't have $100 to spend or justify spending on it:

I'd be dying of a jealousy boner had all these awesome PCE gets rolled in this time last year, before I'd finally gotten my ass in gear with the platform. :lol: Fine showing, gents!
