It's a crime that I didn't buy it when it was new, but what's done is done.

Haha, you've been getting some of the coolest stuff Arasoi! I'm still trying to raise money to get one of those fancy scart upconverter boxes. Where are you getting your scart cables from?

Hey thanks.

I got that cable (and most of the other stuff) off yahoo japan(a proxy service some members might be familiar with), some of my cables i make myself and some I'll custom order. I have a Euro SCART RGB/Audio to 6 RCA adapter cable I'll rewire on the scart end to match the JSCART pins. I'm getting a SFC so the cable should work fine (there are other components requires inline for US or PAL SNES apparently)

Super awesome game - part II is even a bit harder but better balanced overall.

Apologies for lolgiantpics, but:

PRINCESS REKO DESKTOP THINGY PACK!

BRANDED CAVE BOX

Mouse mat is quite nice, one of those fabric type ones.

Strange mouse with a pulley style cable reel - sort of works like a window blind.
Image

A CD with an Adobe AIR app on.

The app looks like this:
Image

She moves about a little bit, says things every half an hour with an animation. The bug flies if you click on it. There's also a terrifying button that should never be pressed, which causes 'that' song to play.

Awesome swag and an entirely invalid use of money.

Nope, there's very little on the CD - just two AIR installers, the AIR package file and a couple of readmes.

It's a magnificient reproduction of the classic Hasbro 1984 G1 Optimus Prime indeed. Hails from the original Japanese Diaclone die-cast metal transformable toy series where it was simply known as Convoy. ^_~

That's a pretty awesome looking JPN region MD Battle Mania set, Arasoi. Looks much better than the later USA region Genesis Trouble Shooters release.

There're the cool hidden stage select + invincibility cheats to try with either title -- all input via D-pad & button combos.

There apparently is a combination that brings up a sequence of the main character stomping on a Super Famicom too, lol.
