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

In this day and age your average self-propelled gun appears to have that cannon thing mounted upon the chassis rather than in front of it.

Got some nice SFC games:

What is the game in the middle?

What is the game in the middle?

Magical Pop'n, great game.

[emphatic]

Ohhhh, that's what it is! I've always wanted to play that game. For a second the cover reminded me of Cotton or Magical Chase or something.

Once again Elixir has helped me with a game cover I wasn't familiar with. Thank you and your Hudson bee!

What is that? The design of the cockpit and pilot looks like Zoids, but I thought they were all dinosaurs. Then again I haven't been keeping tabs on that line since the 80s.

No idea, but it was bundled with a couple of mecha-dinosaur shaped toys indeed.

Aye. At least three generations of Cave pants have passed:

today helped a friend (nicolas the gardener) (with 1-2 other nuts), to save this in center France . we would have loved having help from Hulk, Superman or the 6million $ man i assure you

and even a Metal hawk for another collector. hard stuff to get, very heavy . 'Winner' too, is an old goldie game.

and for me the cute Afterburner "cabaret"

[Dave_K.]

Wow, congrats on that beautiful Darius/Sagail cab!

[Arasoi]

Beautiful Darius/Sagaia cabinet, congrats caincan.

[caincan]

thx, it's not mine and i dont envy it because i like to see that good things arrive to good people. my honor is just to have good friends who make sometimes nuts things. Nicolas le jardinier (nicolas the gardener) who had some impressive hi-score on ESPrade in the past, found this 3 years ago, but lacked time to backup it. there's some rust, but it looks very good (it's based on "Electrocoin" feeling, and designed for European market). let's hope it really works ! (the mystery of roadtrips in warehouses...)

[GaijinPunch]

Nice haul. Nice to see these things saved from destruction...even though they could use a little cleaning.

[incognoscente]

Posts about music production and DJing which did not feature Awesome Stuff Just Bought have been moved to the new Music Production Thread, but feel free to post pictures of musical gear in this thread in the future. The discussion that arose from GaijinPunch's NI Maschine evolved into its own thing that didn't quite fit here or in The Creative Thread, either.

[GaijinPunch]

What can I say? I'm a trend-setta.

Bought a Gen/MD S-video mod kit from Jamma Nation X
Knob is a variable resistor pot for the Chroma signal in case some vertical lines show up.

Thats quite a sexual colour. The ball top is also fucking sublime! I have a simitsu Deep pink puttons and balltops coming in the post. Wish i was able to find somewhere in the EU (not gremlin) who could sort me a couple of them

Couple things I've found over the past few months.

Looking back, I didn't realize I got that many Capcom related games.

[Jockel]

You probably want to get that thick layer of vaseline off your camera lens.

[ryu]

Well, it's my family's camera. I don't really care about it being clean and looking into it to perfectionize its settings.

New, sexier Seimitsu buttons for one of my EGRET IIs:

Times are tough, eh?

No, the other one already had Seimitsus. I pulled out Sanwa from this one.

Stumbled across the last remaining retail retro shop in the UK (by my estimation!) in Croydon yesterday. They had very few things I wanted, but I did manage to dig out a mint copy of Valis IV for the PCE for £5. Made my day.

[lmagus]

I didn't know there was a 4th game.. I have Valis 3 for the Mega Drive...

Anyway, on topic..

I bought a wall mount for my 50" plasma tv..

Laserdisc time



Lot's of superplays/all abouts from YJA.

The Namco Gal's Island turned out to be a gem.

[Stormwatch]

Just got some nice stuff from DealExtreme:

Three generic GC controllers (sku 22539). Not as good as the official stuff, maybe, but the price is just great, especially in bulk!




A GC memory card, 2043 blocks (sku 4417) - nevermind the "Wii" labeling.




And a video switch box (sku 25298). Four ports, two with S-Video. No more swapping cables all the time!
