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

Nice Pickups Ghegs. I picked up Hyper Lode Runner the other week on the Famicom disk System. I only picked it up because it was cheap (£15 Brand-new deleivered) but after putting a little time into it I love it! There are ao many little tricks and intricacies that aren't obvious at first, lovely little game.

I looked on eBay for F1 Sensation last week but I couldn't see it, doh.

[Obiwanshinobi]

I thought Hyper Lode Runner was a GB exclusive. Asked if that version's any good in the other thread, but no-one seemed to know.

It seems to be a bit on the rare side, I had rancor pick one up for me from YAJ. It still wasn't expensive though.

[Sly Cherry Chunks]

Darn that Soundwave!

[DaneSaga]

suppose I should share the love with the non-anime/manga thread people.

[Obiwanshinobi]

Considerng the pace I progress at in 1, 2 is likely to remain sealed for years to come.

Never enough arcade crap, the pink shaft & dust covers aren’t even the same color, oh well the sticks were only $13ea from focus attack sale. Trying Seimitsu snap-ins again the only flat button around.

Wow, nice balls and shafts too.

You say that to all the boys.

[emphatic]

Seimitsu snaps is the way to go.

[cools]

Screwins 4lyfe.

[chempop]

Screwins 4lyfe.

They don’t fit all cabs, Super Neo 29 is one example.

[cools]

True, but where they do fit they're the choice (of anyone that has had to deal with swapping out old snapins).

[emphatic]

The feel of the button is completely different IMHO when comparing snaps to screw-ins. And screw-ins can be a real biatch to remove as well unless you've installed them yourself.

[trap15]

Annoying that I had to get this in the first place, but I'm really happy that I got something so good. I like ThinkPads.

[emphatic]

^^Looks a lot like my Thinkpad. I had a really hard time adjusting to the placement of the mouse buttons above the pad though, and the pad being off center on mine (I have a keypad on mine).

[trap15]

There _are_ buttons on the bottom, but they're not that comfortable to use. I love TrackPoints though, so I doubt I'll even really be using the trackpad.

[cools]

I have a W510 for work and I broke the touchpad on it (drinks accident) but it wasn't a great one. Trackpoint works well, but mouse ftw.

[speedlolita]

My X61s ONLY has a trackpoint.

Getting on a bit now but I've pretty much specced it up as far as I can - sans that delicious aftermarket 1400x1050 display.

Some nice titles for my Saturn collection ( from last 2 month ) :





Some pricy additions to my SFC shelf :






Some Serega MD Fanmades I got just a few days ago (Double Dragon 2 is not a fanmade, but always was kind of lonely in the collection ) and looks nice with the DD1 + DD3 :

And finally - after years of searching to find it for a good price

[BIL]

Gimmick!

Nice

[KindGrind]

Gimmick!

Nice

I second that. Not sure I want to ask what's a good price on Gimmick these days.

Barneygumble's Boxed (complete?) copy of RR is also another great pickup. Good stuff, people!

I know some people in the community here have somewhat of a cardboard fetish, so I thought I'd post some gaming-related pieces of cardboard I picked up recently. The piece in the middle I picked up 3 weeks ago, completing the set.

[bradtemple87]

This came yesterday thanks to the NeoGeo.com Trade Box

[pestro87]

You guys will probably recognize most of the games but I also had to get Cosmic Wars because it's such an oddball title (shmup-themed turn-based RPG by Konami wat). Also, I've never played Top Gun before and I refuse to believe that it's as bad as people make it out to be so I had to get that as well

[rapoon]

gift from my old man.




ordered an r9 280 (left) today. oddly, it was $10 cheaper than a 270x.

Did you sell your soul to get those?

[KindGrind]

Did you sell your soul to get those?

Over the years I have amassed quite a few other cards that have gotten expensive. I gave 200$ cash and traded in cards at the local game shop for the rest. I could have sold stuff myself but it was too much of a hassle and I have little time. Hopefully I will pass these on to my kids, but in the meantime I get to play them every week. These were meant to be played with, after all. I pity people wanting to get into collecting/playing vintage Magic the Gathering cards now. The prices are getting pretty steep, to put it lightly.
