Thanks MJR.

Cools, RDX is an original seibu poster, although its from the time of their 2nd PCB release, having a "New '96" on it.

New HD receiver. I've had my old Pioneer for many years, but I want to use the HDMI output of my HTPC and had to upgrade. I'm extremely happy with this as it has the following awesome features:

* Built in Airport - I can start playing music off my iPhone and the receiver automatically switches to that input and outputs the music
* Built in Internet radio tuner - haven't tried this yet
* Enhancer for compressed audio formats like mp3 etc.
* App support for iPhone and Android - download a remote to your smartphone(s) and your wife/girlfriend instantly knows how to use it
* It's very cheap, especially for the above features

Awesome Space Paranoids poster, Dave. I'd imagine that's how it'd look if SP was released as a dedicated arcade cab. Flynn sure knew how to make games, didn't he?

Would be wrong of me to claim they are all awesome.. but all shmups and pickups of the year so far. Oh thanks again to Rancor for the Doujin goodness.

That NES game of Air Fortress is quite unforgiving in terms of overall difficulty. I played it at the San Jose convetion center during the "Galaxy of Electronic Games" Expo back in November of 1989. It was setup at Acclaim's booth for all to try out amongst other games including Blazing Lasers, Altered Beast, etc.

Ah right, I haven't got round to trying it out yet. Waiting for my Toploader to be modded. Bloody RF issue with US consoles over here in the UK. Can't get sound without a hum.

My grandparents had Cobra Triangle. My dad and I loved it back then, but I haven't thought about it in years.

That's one that *really* benefits a rapid fire button (and not powering up the main shot all the way). I don't think I've ever actually *cleared* it any other way. That game is damn evil o.o (but so cool :)

Before anyone asks: a lot.

But how can you put a price on a Holy Grail?

Awesome. I have been hoping to find a copy of that forever. YAJ find?

Been reading Otogi Matsuri and Btooom! at work for the last week now. Big fan of his manga art.

It doesn't exist dude. I've been looking on YHJ and everywhere else for years. No info on google either. It really is a Holy Grail, and this particular copy is not only one of a kind, it's literally one of a kind:
