I wanted to get one of those, but they're $65 in toy stores here!! I think I got mine in 1984 for ~$12.. lol.. Was hoping to get one for my son.

Well, picked it up two days ago:



So the original intention was to find someone to split the double pack with ('cause it's two copies for cheaper than buying two copies separately) but when I didn't I decided I'll just use the second one as a birthday gift to my friend whose birthday is next week.

This new pair I ordered from the UK. All the announcements I've seen for the pre-orders on both types came from the West actually.

My Famicom acquisitions over the last two months. Really happy about Solomon's Key 2, over the course of three weeks or so I cleared every level without any help or walkthroughs, only to discover the game actually has 50 more hidden levels. Good stuff. I didn't mean to pick up Warwolf, but the seller who had Solomon's Key 2 also had a CIB Warwolf for only $9, I couldn't say no to that. Gen-san games are really fun, and the Lolo games are great, though so far I'm slightly partial to the sequel since it does away with the lives that are quite pointless in the first game anyway. Still need to get Eggerland and Babel.

Bought specifically so I can play Xenoblade with something other than composite video on my 15" CRT

Down the road though, I plan on upgrading my computer so I can run it in Dolphin at full speed. Xenoblade at 3x native res with some FXAA and anisotropic filtering looks way too good, I must have it

that's dope but what's with the Chinese character?

EDIT: Oh, i see because it's stenciled onto the barrels in the shows. obv designed by someone who doesn't actually read / write Chinese characters

[rapoon]

for some reason it's referred to as "golden moth chemical" in the show.


The company's logo is a stylized golden bee, seen on many of the barrels in the superlab and at Madrigal's warehouse. Although the company is called "Golden Moth" the Hanzi in the logo is 蜂, which is Chinese for bee, wasp, or hornet.

The serial number on those barrels 00892-B can be read as a hexadecimal RGB code, and #00 89 2B is the signature Breaking Bad green color.

Beautiful haul. I've been on the fence about Solomon's Key 2, might just pick it up myself now. I was enjoying the challenge but skeptical of its longetivity, sounds like it's not an issue. I'm totally clueless about the FC Gen-Sans, need to try those out myself. Impressions always appreciated. ^_~

edit: whoa, Namco published Karnov on FC? Had no idea.

Yeah i searched the back story--I was more referring to how the character looks. It is cut up in a way that no native writer of a language that uses Chinese characters would write it and actually makes it look weird.

It's kind of like when an artist copies a Chinese character for a painting or drawing without actually knowing how to write it. Hard to explain but it doesn't work out, because there is a very strict stroke order and you can't just try to copy the overall shape and have it look right.

The designer who made this obviously did the same thing but used a normal computer font to generate the correct character. But in order to make it into a stencil, he had to make some "cuts" in the lines, and he did so in a way that is very unnatural and makes it look like it is written in a completely different way than it should be(especially when combined with the fact that it means bee while the company is moth but that could have other reasons I guess)

Wow. All this over a t-shirt from etsy?

I bought a really expensive axe, because I figured I ought to spring for the high end version of a tool I have never once found myself in need of.

Grabbed the IndieBox for Luftrausers. I already had the game, but the box came with so many cool goodies I couldn't pass it up. The stuff includes:

- The game on a USB stick (DRM-free) plus a Steam key
- A manual
- A soundtrack CD
- Lufftrausers medal and patch;
- A foam airplane you can put together and fly

It looks like they still have a few here:

Well, Solomon's Key 2 is a mostly static puzzle game with no action elements to speak of (unlike the first game), so it's longevity is tied to how good you are in puzzle games. I don't consider myself particularly good at them, but I didn't have much difficulties until the third or fourth worlds. After that I started to hit levels that demanded more, one even got me trapped for a week or so. Of course, once figured out it can be solved within 30 seconds. I've played only a couple of the hidden bonus levels, but they weren't terribly difficult either. I'm hoping they'll get a bit more tricky as I go on.

The same staticness affects replayability as well, but I think it's a game I'll return to in a year or two when I've forgotten all the details and can just do it again, enjoying the cute graphics and animation.

Worth noting that in the Famicom version you can take back your previous moves with the Select button, so that also makes it a tad easier. This isn't possible in the US release. Likewise, the Famicom version saves your progress to the battery (there's even three save slots) unlike in the US version where you have to use 24-character passwords.

I've played mostly the first Gen-san game and while it's not a difficult title (I got to the final stage in a day or two), it's a very enjoyable one. It just has lots of charm and personality, the game even speaks. The second game seems a bit more difficult, but can't really comment on that further yet.

Tough to follow that mate but I will anyway

I've wanted one of these bad boys for as long as I can remember!!!



Added a very nice condition Vega 9000DX to my collection. It has just arrived and created a lot of condensation when I unpackaged it so I'll let it acclimatise before I try it out.

Cheers,

Ralph.
