Rare Popful Mail Pop-Up Counter Advertisement


I finally got a new incredibly rare piece of Popful Mail history! This is a pop-up counter display from Japan to promote the PC-88 version of the game. First one that I've ever seen and I'm glad to add it to my ever growing Popful Mail collection.  Starting to run out of space a bit actually

Awesome pickup, looks to be in fantastic shape for a pop-up of that age!  congrats

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Pictures of your turbo/pc engine collection]

Miracle Warrior:  that's one impressive collection - now only if you had River City Ransom Monogatari and Spriggan WITH its Spine cards - I think you would need insurance policy ;)

that's a joke btw.. nice stash, man... but on a seriously note, with collection like that you can't manage to track down and complete copy of River City and Spriggran?  and yes, insurance with Fire/Flood might be wise, or just dump it in a bank lock box if it's cheaper...

My wife has been talking a bit about insurance and such for my collection (should I be worried?), so we wound up taking pictures and cataloging yesterday night.  I thought I'd share the latest Turbo/PCE with you guys.

Kisaku:  given its rarity - does the custom special version feature special version of the mahjong girls as well??   ;)   

Here it is:
Super real mahjong 2&3 Special Custom 15 pcs made. Finally!

di you get that from Japan Games Heaven?

[Off-Topic / The “What-Did-You-Buy-Today?” Thread]

oh WOW!  That's one nice lot you picked up!!  how much was it in its entirety + shipping just curious?  Congrats on getting a Coryoon

So i picked up a game lot, they were delivered a couple of days ago.
super happy as i got a few games i would not normally be able to afford.

Estaban:  lol, that is the most interesting combinational game collection shelf I've seen.  lol      Dawn Detergent + PCE/TG games = unique. 

I just got a new copy of Power Golf, although it is quite clean (brand new?) it is also quite moist and definitely seems to have been abused (warped jewel case) by the previous owner.

Since the case is warped, I didn't include it in the photo. I hope the sunlight will dry out the moisture, though.

tape decks + amps rock!  I had one until the early 2000s.... wish I kept it. 

I hit the thrift last night and found some goodies!


2015-02-11 Pioneer CT-1270wr by xcrement5x, on Flickr

A Pioneer CT-1270wr Cassette Tape Deck!

So, I've had my eye on this at the thrift for the last couple weeks.  It finally went on half price sale yesterday so I grabbed it after work for about $7.   I just love how cool it looks and this means I can finally listen to my old tapes too.

It still works and sounds great, but without an equalizer or such (the matching EQ was sold last week for $4 but I missed it) I need to use speakers with audio controls on them.  The checkout lady even gave me the random tape that was sitting in the unit as well, it's some random new age music.


Plussss.....


2015-02-11 Marvel Pogs and Namco TV Game by xcrement5x, on Flickr

While perusing the thrift the other day I also came across these awesome items. 

A Marvel Heroes Official POG Association Game which was fully complete with all pogs, 2 slammers, play board and instructions.  There are actually more Marvel Pogs than the box says there should be so I dunno where the extras came from.   For those wondering, I saw POGS and I instantly thought of Arkhan.

A Namco Classics Plug and play TV game thingy.  It still has working batteries too and is going to be one of the early ways I play on introducing my daughter to games. 

5 foot ethernet cable.  It was 50c and I'll probably just gut it for the wires on some mods I plan to be doing.

EDIT:
This just landed on my desk too from the mail deliveries.

2015-02-12 PC Engine Popful Mail Sample Version by xcrement5x, on Flickr

Wooohoo!! New stuff to add to my Popful Mail collection. 

I got this from the awesome kisaku who happened to have an extra.  Thank you again my friend!

Don't EVER crack that mirror!!  Scary just to think what type of back luck Adol and the Y's Gods will bring upon the one who shatters it.. lol.

Ys is my favorite game of all time.  from the SMS port to the TG version.. I can play it over and over.. 

Finally arrived!!! The Ys 4 MIRROR!!

Please tell us more. Was this a mail order item available to everyone, or some promotional item given away during launch?

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: WTB-Snatcher PCE]

Here it is:

All games complete with minty original mail-in registration cards included.

Only flaw with Snatcher is the spine card is half-stuck on the front side of the CD-case (see pic).
Other wise both games are gem minty.

The collector's promo-mini-CD for the PCE game is in good condition, but there are some small wear on the cover (which is made of card board).  crease on bottom right hand side of front cover.  Back has some impressions of the plastic cd holder inside it.  It's definitively good enough for Snatcher  collector's.

Deadite is the RGB master and seems to know everything about it   
I just bought a SCART TV from europe (will pick it up in the US), so I can finally try out my RGB moded Duo-RX after all these years!!  ETA March is when I can finally do that.... lol

^ Yes, also check out Tempo.

Also, I bought a new TV, a bigger Panasonic Tau in black, has all the cute things I needed, also has composite/S-Video in the front. Yay. Here is a shitty picture:



Also, it has really come to my attention that the picture projecting from my Duo-R is off to the left more than it should be on most every game I play. Some games it looks pretty bad. I think doujindance did something else wrong on the mod besides the s-video as it only does this when using the RGB. eff.

Nothing wrong with your mod.  RGB tends to favor one side of the screen for some reason.  When going RGB adjusting the monitor is quite normal.

And yes jeff, FF2 and Riding Hero are worthless over here.  You can find boxes full of FF2 in some stores.

[Off-Topic / The “What-Did-You-Buy-Today?” Thread]

Hey Beams / Clash - how are u guys doing with your consoles?  I read about these dead system problems popping up here and there.. seems like a design defect ...  hope yours are safe and sound!

I love those white / colorful saturn pads whisper.  Such a nice color scheme.

By complete random chance I shot a load of cash on something I hadn't planned on buying til next year sometime.  The only way I was going to buy one is if it fell in my lap... well this one fell in my lap so I bit.  Coworker had pre-ordered it, picked it up and then decided he didn't really want it.  Sold it to me for his cost.   Picked up Call of Dookie so I could play with some friends (friends who only play CoD) I haven't investigated any launch games so I have no idea what is good / not good.  I'll have to do some looking.

All that said... I'll bet we can all agree as to what is the best part of this haul....   

Ducktales!  Yeah, everyone should buy it.

[Off-Topic / The “What-Did-You-Buy-Today?” Thread]

I loved Spy vs Spy on all platforms growing up.  funny and enjoyable 2 player game that is still unique to this day... closely thing I come across thus far are on our fav PCE -> the Bonanza Brothers   but that is working together... S.v.S you're messing each other up... different type of fun.  great memories

No one stellar item here, but I got a lot of inexpensive good stuff today.

[Off-Topic / The “What-Did-You-Buy-Today?” Thread]

That Ninja Gaiden is super sexy.  from what I read the gameplay rocks too.  I'm drooling...

Couple pickups in the past 2 weeks:

1.) Ninja Gaiden, CIB for the Sega Master System. Got a shockingly good price for this one - thank you eBay alerts

2.) The rare-ish re-release version of Phantasy Star, CIB (if your version has the battery backup memory text in green in the top right, yours is too; the original release didn't have it).

That leaves me with just the blue cart version of Rambo to have the full NTSC set + the variants, which I whiffed on once a year ago at auction and haven't seen it since...

3.) Longbox NFL Gameday for the PS1 for a buck at Goodwill, also CIB. God, this game is awful but I couldn't resist.

that is one nice find for the ram cart, boxed and complete like that!  I have a loose one myself and even those are hard to come by.  they're a must for games like Shining Force 2 (my fav).  anyway congrats on the awesome nab.... how much did you pay for it if you dont mind me asking?

I got a lot of cool stuff this week already!


Then something I got on ebay:

2013-10-07 Pickups - Sega CD Backup Ram Cart by xcrement5x, on Flickr
A fully boxed Sega CD Backup RAM Cart in the nicest condition I have ever seen.  Also comes with the original Funcoland receipt from 1995.  This is pretty much one of the last Sega CD related items I've been missing, and I waited a long time before finally picking this one up since I've been a stickler about condition.  I've had a loose cart since the late 90s though that I bought at Media Play.

CD:   Donwload 2

[Off-Topic / The “What-Did-You-Buy-Today?” Thread]

damn that's a nice PVM!!  I still need to find a RGB monitor to play my Duo in RGB after all these years.

I know it's a stupid arse question -> but how do I connect a SCART-out modded PC Duo R to a PVM monitor like these?  Are there special connectors I can just buy off the shelve somewhere and plug in the SCART or vice versa??

Beamer/Deadlinte?  you both prob are the masters on this... pls share the wisdom

I don't have anything that outputs RGB now, but I will be working on it soon.  In the meantime I used S-Video to test and make sure it worked.  What a waste to break it in with a SNES though!!   

[Off-Topic / The “What-Did-You-Buy-Today?” Thread]

ditto that.  The Ninja Gaiden arcade game was total bad-ass.  hard as fock as well... which I guess served its purpose as quarter-guzzler well

I just got these for $20 off Craigslist.  I need some games ànd an AC adapter.  I love these things I haven't had one in years.  I used to have a boxed one with 20 boxed games, time to start all over again.  It came with two copies of slime world just incase I want to play it more than once.

Slime World is pretty good   It feels a like a 1984 PC game. 

Congratz on the haul.

Thanks, I was and am a huge fan of the Lynx and was do impressed with it when it came out.  Ever since I saw Toby Maguire (Yes, Spider Man Himself) sitting on the toilet playing one I had to have one.

This will be my 4th go around, I keep building and then selling Lynx collections for some reason.

One the coolest games for the Lynx is the Ninja Gaiden arcade port.  I'm not sure if it was ported to any other system at the time.

[Off-Topic / The “What-Did-You-Buy-Today?” Thread]

she's a fine beauty, Flare.  I'm a proud owner myself on one  

yours is gem minty indeed...  did you get a good deal?  these dont came cheap completely boxed and minty like that.. I think I paid $250 ish for my complete and boxedwith all inserts but non sexy minty box like yours  

love every part of the shuttle though.  it is the best looking one in my opinion out of all the other version of consoles.. Super CD rom attachement is next in my book as #2 coolest looking.

Always wanted one of these.  Now I finally have one!





Got it off the original owner who was also a collector.  He played it once then stuck it back in the box and it has been that way ever since.  Everything is mint, including the instructions that are still stapled shut in the original bag.

[Off-Topic / The “What-Did-You-Buy-Today?” Thread]

awesome.  Lunar, Shining Force 2, Snatcher are imo best Sega/Mega CD ever made.  Popful mail is better on the PCE

back on PCE topic - I nabbed an unopened Gotzendiener tonight!!  

I've never played it but it looks kinda obscure... prince of persia + Maruchan Maze on steroids... should be interesting..
any of you play this before?  I read it is a later release hence not well publicized but certainly looks interesting...

[Off-Topic / The “What-Did-You-Buy-Today?” Thread]

beautiful looking SGX.  Congrats Franky.  it is a nice machine.. looks cool as fock.  in terms of looks/design, imo it's tied with the SuperCD-Rom attachment, the Shuttle as the slickest top3.  

Picked up an SGX, just love the design of it:



I did want to grab one from doujindance mainly for the RGB (I don't like where he puts the region mod switches on the SGX) but I missed out on one he recently had at an okay price (went to a member here thankfully ) and he wanted $300 for his last one, which isn't a bad deal I suppose given the mods and the game he included, but I couldn't bring myself to spend that much on something that essentially only plays hueys.

Master of Magic!  that was a great game!  I played the heck out of it and recall having this guy that can just cast lighting or something with amazing reach, and once i powered that dude up I was indestructable pretty much...  i think Heros of MoM really borrowed from that game as well.

great memories..  I played the shit out of Heroes of MoM 1 to 4 as well.  chain lightning & dimension door anyone?   

I hooked it up to my old DOS computer and have been discovering all sorts of great new soundtracks for all my old favorite games...

Hyperspeed, Civilization, Master of Orion, Master of Magic, Colonization, Castle of Dr Brain, Dune 2, all of them have either MT-32 or sound canvas modes that can utilize this module!  Some sound comparable to the internal SB16/Adlib, but some sound amazing!

Nice Master System pick ups! Master of Darkness is a title I want to pick up for sure as both a Castlevania and Master System fan.

Here's my haul from Akihabara. Won't be back in Japan for at least a year so I made sure to pick up some titles I've been wanting before I left. Ninja Princess in particular, and it's in great shape for a MyCard game. Got all of these at Retro Friends and Traders, two great shops in Akihabara if you are ever there. Great selection and prices.

Master of Darkness is such an awesome, underrated game. Castlevania on the Master System, almost to the point of copyright infringement

Nah, improvised tripods constitutes the manufacture of illicit goods. You might as well be cooking up heroin in your living room. Not a good idea in Japan.

It's the fault of the damn Train Otakus.  There was a huge crowd taking pics of the latest shinkansen, and the morons held their tripods horizontally by hand to get better shots of the front.  But they lost balance, fell on the tracks, and you can guess the ending...

and yes, I think all of us wanted that System card.  but at that price, and as Samurai noted, we prob all have tons of systems cards so effectively we would be paying $140+ for the jewel case... damn.  but it doesn't make it less desirable...

about 3 months ago I saw a long rumored (and boxed!) LT to SCD connector on sale too.  that went for 35000 yen by itself.. man.  PCE rarities def cost us an arm and a leg these days.

damn I want that system card! this is all I was able to get this week

Couple of good deals on ebay items that I picked up recently

I also bought this special Snatchet pce mini nonforsale audio cd last year.  Have zilch history on it but it sure is cool
