Sorry to cross-post, but I'm pretty happy to have finally 1cc'd Spriggan on Normal!



Woot!

[High Score Records / Re: "Spriggan" High Scores]

1cc'd it on Normal Difficulty today.  Woot!

Yesterdays pickup.

Sweet! I've got an RV as well.  Maybe we'll have to start a NEC camping meetup!  Smores and Spriggan!  Fishing and Final Soldier!  Hiking and Hatris!

Random screenshot from my screensaver (shrunk).  Man I wish I could get this screensaver to play TG16 games!

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

It's been awhile since I've done one of these posts, so I'm pretty sure this is everything of note over the past couple months or so.



Sorry for the crappy cell phone pics.  My real camera isn't at home right now.  Here are a few close up pics.



My Turbo Express has been away for some mod work for awhile so I've been looking into Game Boy / Color / Advance games to feed the handheld hunger.  Top right is Sigma Star Saga.  Below that is Monster Rancher Advance 2.  Below that is Bomberman Max 2: Blue. To the left is Advance Wars 2. And finally to the left of that is Mario Tennis.  I was hoping Mario Tennis would be one of the few GBC games that would run on the Super Game Boy, but it doesn't.



Above you can see my recent OBEY.  I have Splatterhouse on the way as well.  Woot!



Astro Warrior was included in my original Sega Master System bitd and I've had a hankering to play it again recently.  It hasn't disappointed. 



I also found this Game Boy game at a local used-stuff shop.  It's fun.  Very old-school.



I have had a loose version of Ys III for awhile, but found this for $7 or $8 locally and couldn't pass it up.  And I sold the loose cart for $7 so yeehaa.



I picked this up this morning and have only played it for about half an hour this evening, but it seems like it'll be fun for awhile.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: Might &Magic 3 cd Us Version - Turbografx - planning to sale]

I have two copies of Might and magic 3 for Turbografx us Version. I want to SELL One copy at ebay. What Would be a reasonable Price? As i Cannot find it on ebay To get a Feeling for a Price...anyone knows. I know it is relative rare.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: Possibly creating an OBEY T-shirt...]

Here's two designs for ya:

But seriously, put me down for one t-shirt (Adult, XL), whatever design you choose to go with.
It doesn't have to have my designs on it.

LOL!!!  I love all of the hilariousness that has come from the Blazing Lazers t-shirt idea!  When I initially posted it, I had NO IDEA there was a duck hidden there and it's awesome that it was pointed out to me (however, I see that duck whenever I play BL, which makes the game kind of absurd).

I will definitely make some sort of t-shirt based off of this design, if only so a handful of us can share an internal pcefx joke at conventions.

SeymorOnion, your second image is classic.  I may have to combine it with the color version of the BL duck, and maybe throw in the Alpha Suit for kicks. (thanks again for your flashcard - I've been playing with it a lot recently!)

I'm going out of town for a few days leaving tomorrow so someone needs to remind me on Monday to get cracking!

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

You mean you didn't want the special edition of Otomedius Excellent which comes with the pillowcase?!

Lol, I passed on the pillowcase edition.

I found these pics of it online though:




HAHAHA!

I got that like 4 years ago.  (Not really, but a few weeks maybe)

lol

Really? 'cause the same email arrived in my inbox this morning. 

EDIT: Derp, it was yesterday.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: Possibly creating an OBEY T-shirt...]

Awesome idea, there! But, something about the monochromatic-ness of it makes me think of a duck:

You know what, I think I see what you are referring to...

ooOOOooo...  Now you're onto something.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: Possibly creating an OBEY T-shirt...]

I KNOW!  It's pure brilliance.

So I've cleaned up a few areas and moved the shading levels around some today.



It's intentionally lighter right now because I ended up experimenting with my new Gocco printing system this afternoon.





Tomorrow when the prints are dry and flat I'll take pictures of them in all their glory. I call this series "Courage."

I think you (and Ji-L87) have inspired me to doodle today!  I started working on a new t-shirt design: https://www.pcengine-fx.com/forums/index.php?topic=10477.msg289689#msg289689

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: Possibly creating an OBEY T-shirt...]

Alright, so the BL t-shirt idea didn't go anywhere (except into hilarity) but I started working on a new t-shirt design today and thought I'd share:



Actually I picked up a Gocco printing press today and really wanted to make a print for that, but it only prints about 4x6 and I haven't been able to come up with a good halftone configuration that will work with it (it's not really meant for halftone type of stuff, but I thought it would be neat).

I have a silkscreen kit begging to be used so hopefully sometime this week I'll get a t-shirt made! 

EDIT:  Why did I put this thread in the sales section?  Derp.... 

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Turbo perler bead/pixel bead "art"]

I picked up a bead kit for my 5 yr old son today and we had all sorts of fun playing with it.  I ended up with this awesomely-mutated version of Bonk!



Sorry for the distant shot - It's really hard to make out close up.

The kit came with a square peg board that is only 14x14 which makes finding notable sprites an interesting experience.  I was going for the 1-Up version of Bonk seen in the lower right-hand corner of the screen, but somehow I mangled the left side of his face, and now it looks like he's hungry for brains to me. ZOMBIE BONK!

EDIT: Technically, I guess it's the RIGHT side of his face and the LEFT side of the bead-thingy.

For some reason, this makes absolute sense to me.  In fact I think I was about bout to post the very same response.

[Fighting Street / Re: VGA Gradings?]

And only a score of 90, which is the fifth highest score.

I don't think I've ever seen lower than 85...

That looks AT LEAST 85% NEW to me!  These VGA gradings are totally bogus.

This in now one of my favorite posts.  The level of absurdity has reached a new ... level here.

That is awesome.

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

Wow, Beemer, looks like you've got your work cut out for you.  Congrats on Battle Lode Runner!  That's one I'd love to add to my library.

These arrived in the mail yesterday from Hit-Japan:



I finally bit the bullet on the PCE version of Dungeon Explorer II because I just can't justify spending what the US goes for these days and I've been noticing the price of the PCE one going up.  Wanted to get it while it was still under $20.  Made it through the first boss last night, and while I have no idea what's going on, once the gameplay kicked in I had no problem figuring out where to go.  Hopefully I'll make it through a good chunk of the game before getting stuck and moving on...

I've been wanting to play Salamander for awhile.  Holy moly, it's so much more fun than Life Force on the NES.  I picked up Life Force for the NES a couple years ago because I remembered playing the crap out of it when I was in middle/high school.  Way harder than I remembered.  I haven't beaten the first level.  But I made it to level 3 on my first session with the PCE version.  So much better in so many ways.  Hit-Japan took a pretty reasonable offer for it (imo) so ended up getting this one for under $20 as well.

[Off-Topic / Re: Random Pictures Thread]

Haha, awesome!  I might be just one of the few who loves this movie, can't for the life of me figure out why people hated it so much!

That's great!  This is one of my all-time favorite movies.  I'm serious.

[Off-Topic / Guess the game - T-Shirt Edition (freebie-type thing)]

I'm stealing Galam's idea and have posted an image below.  Be the first to guess the game and you'll receive a little gaming goodie.

This one's probably on the easy side, but you never know.

I was playing this game the other day and while watching this cutscene, thought it would make a neat t-shirt.  I happened to have some gameplay recorded using my DVD recorder, so I grabbed a still, cleaned it up a bit and printed it out on one of those iron-on transfer sheets.  I picked up a t-shirt today from A. C. Moore for about $3.  I was really hoping to find a blue-grey that was a little lighter than this, but I think this turned out alright.

Anyway, anyone recognize the game?

What a fun game!  Definitely one of my favorites for the console. 

Then I popped in Ninja Spirit and beat that too.  No pics of that since I feel like I've posted pics of that one before.

It's been a good evening.

And here are a couple extra pics of it for good measure:



You can see the cover for the briefcase unit in the background in the picture above.  I forgot to take a picture of it closed up.  




Also, here are a couple other recent pickups. I received the latest edition of Battletech as a Christmas present and have begun to paint the 25 included minis.  I picked up the Warhammer books because they are a fantastic resource for painting miniatures (though not necessarily giant walking robots-of-death).



Here are a few games I also picked up at the local used-stuff store.  I wasn't really on the hunt for Secret of Evermore, but for $15 I couldn't pass it up.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Graphics Corrupted for VALKYRIE NO DENSETSU]

Anybody remember spidas Turbo Views review of Super Star Soldier? His copy died on him whem he finally got to the final boss, so he had to wait and practice another whole month to beat it.

I have to catch up and watch tons of spida's videos, but I recall the forum-talk about the Super Star Soldier incident. I never did see that episode. OR I DID, but I just forgot it. 

WTF are you guys talking about?

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Graphics Corrupted for VALKYRIE NO DENSETSU]

I have a Arcade Duo card that seems to produce corrupt graphics with any arcade cd game.   I've tried numerous suggestions like pulling the card out partially, cleaning the contacts well and tape on the backside all with the same results.  Also tried on 4 different systems: 2 Duo Rs, 1 PCE Duo, and a SCD. 

My Arcade Card Pro was doing that one day (for Sapphire only - other ACD games seemed to work fine) and I nearly had a heart attack.  I was using either a diving board converter or chopsado at the time, but I've region modded my consoles since and it hasn't come back (thankfully).  Are you using a converter of some sort?

[Off-Topic / Re: Neo Geo X Gold - $200 - freaking seriously?]

On the Amazon link: http://www.amazon.com/NEOGEO-GOLD-Limited-Edition-Electronic-Games/dp/B0093G9VOI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1349743395&sr=8-1&keywords=neo+geo+x+gold

It says the the limited edition pre-order comes with a "Ninja Master's Neogeo X Game Card." I don't know diddly about the Neo Geo, but that sounds like an additional game on a card to me.  Which would be sweet.  I'm very tempted to pick one of these up, along with an extra controller.

UPDATE:  Just noticed this image on the amazon link.  Sorry it's so big:



Looks like the game is on a standard SD card!

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: The Brag n' Boast Thread]

I bought that also at Ikea, I have to fix my systems in there

The one thing I didn't like about the entertainment center was that there was only one small hole in each column to route wires through.  If you look closely at the back, behind the consoles you can see I cut/tore big holes in the back to allow for easier wire routing and better air flow. That Onkyo receiver can really crank out the heat!

[Off-Topic / Re: Show us your desktop!]

It's not my desktop, but here's a screenhot of my Screen Saver:



The screensaver plays 6 random NES games (via info recorded from some emulator).  Every time it starts up, there are different games being played.  It's pretty sweet.  I really wish there was a TG16 version of this screen saver.  I'd play games via emulator just to add gameplay data to it.

Sorry for the huge dimensions.  I forgot to resize it before uploading.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: The Brag n' Boast Thread]

Well I spent a good portion of today reorganizing my living room setup so I thought I'd show a couple pics:




I've always noticed a slight lag in my 8 and 16-bit consoles and realized if run them through the TV *then* to the receiver, the lag disappears.  Granted, I don't get the nice up-scaling the receiver provides, but I sit so far back it really doesn't make any difference.

Still, a lot of my obeying is done in my bedroom on a 27" JVC Tube TV, but it's nice to be able to finally play while sitting on my couch and listening though a decent sound system.
