[Off-Topic / Matching serial numbers]

fighting street has been super boring lately, and the "insertion marks" thread was inspiring.

if you care about things like matching serial numbers, then you are probably somebody i don't care to get to know very well

what other collectardism tendancies drive you to drink?

2017: where did VestCunt go?

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Shoutbox]

Watched Scarface. Wife made mini-blueberry muffins. Drinking Jameson. Life is good.

Should I integrate my hueys and CDs, or should I separate them? Until a couple days ago, I kept all my cases put away, but yesterday I decided to put everything together. They don't look very good - the early Turbografx cases clash with the more regular CD jewel cases.

Thoughts?

you do whatever works for the space you have.  it doesnt matter what they look like.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Die Hard]

if you want pixelated bruce, definitely check out Apocalypse on PS1.  Game is great.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Turbo Gouging on Ebay ( r.i.p. - gouging much )]

they cancelled the $20k listing.

now only 8 of the games are available for that incredible low price

Does it count if we registered before 2014, deleted our account, and signed up anew? Asking for galam.

lol, don't drag me into this.

good on you for the raffle, but I (galam) already own it.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: WTB Sylphia for PCE]

it sells for whatever greeneye8181 sets the BIN at after testing the market with a $5 opening auction then cancelling the sale.

[General Gaming / Re: Accidental Sale]

to me, lego were always just blocks.  i didnt have any connection to specific sets.  i do remember the Fabuland line as those were the ones i loved as a kid.

[General Gaming / Re: Accidental Sale]

I use a feka controller anyway, because 2600 sticks are poopy.

part of the fun is negotiating those joysticks.  they add an element to already very deep gameplay.

[General Gaming / Re: Accidental Sale]

Organization is critical when you're a hoarder. It's kind of a catch 22 because most people with tons of stuff are disorganized (like myself). I'm pretty sure the same thing has happened to me, except I haven't realized what it is I accidentally got rid of lol

I am far from a hoarder, i try to keep it lean.  I think that's why I consolidated all the controllers in the one box.  At the time, I wasn't planning on selling it.  The stuff was just sitting there.  Then come flea market time, I said "well, I don't need any of this stuff".  All my other accessories are stored away in an organized box.  Just a misstep on my part.  ugh

[General Gaming / Accidental Sale]

Just a story I felt like sharing and maybe this will prevent somebody else from being careless like me.

I have a list of 10 or so games that I want to find locally.  Real common stuff that pretty much isn't worth the shipping it would cost to get from ebay.  This also gives me games to look out for at thrift and flea markets.

Anyway, one of those games was Atari 2600 River Raid.  After about a year (maybe more) of searching around locally, I finally found one for $1 about a month ago.  Great.

A couple weeks ago, I worked a flea market and set up a booth with a friend to get rid of some house stuff after a spring purge we did.  I had a box of spare Atari stuff that I brought for the sale.  One of the small 2600 consoles, some accessories, games I have in triplicate (at least), and some joysticks.  This box has kind of been my "catch all" for any atari crap I got that I didn't want.  Well, one day, I had put ALL of my joysticks in this box for some dumb reason.  The box sold.

I went to play river raid today and realized I didn't have any joysticks.

I am usually very organized with my cords/AC's/controllers/etc. and I can't believe I didn't put two sticks aside.

[General Gaming / Re: SMS ports of Genny/MD games]

aside from the sonic discussion, any others (going back to original question).
Isn't there a strider port?  Never tried that one either (obviously, if I am asking if it even exists).

I'm not a fan of the ghosts/ghouls n goblins series overall, so I would skip that one.

Did moonwalker have a port too?

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Do you play your games? Are you afraid of insertion marks?]

the term "insertion marks" when related to video games makes me want to sell everything and never admit i played video games.  Caring about this is just so over the top, it's surreal.  These are the traits that give "gamers" a bad reputation for being so finicky.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: WTB: Valis III (Boxed, Turbo CD)]

jesus, you must be willing to pay $400 for valis 3

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: FS: PCE Duo, 5 controllers, multitap, and some more games]

sounds like a hell of a good deal to me.  good luck with it.  somebody will be lucky.

great match here.  well done.

[General Gaming / Re: SMS ports of Genny/MD games]

i have never played the sonic games on SMS.
i have heard they more methodical type of platformer rather than GO FAST.
people say they are bad because they are expecting the same experience as the genesis games

[General Gaming / SMS ports of Genny/MD games]

I have been playing some more SMS lately.  Primarily the downscaled ports of popular genesis games and curious which ones people favor.  i absolutely love Dick Tracy and Castle of Illusion.  I also gave some time to E-Swat, which i found somewhat disappointing.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: TG16 CD unit memory "Recharge"]

this whole thread makes no sense.
Everybody knows the save states are stored on the system card.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: Bonk 3 CD]

looks like yet another one surfaced.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/122626473316

i think there are 4 available on ebay currently.  lol

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: FS: Wii-U bundo]

great deal

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: Bonk 3 CD]

looks like greens auction didnt sell for 1200, so he's up to his old tricks again.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: FS: PCE Override CIC]

i dont know what happened.  this one shot from like 30 to 100 last year.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Turbo Gouging on Ebay ( r.i.p. - gouging much )]

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: Bonk 3 CD]

it seems all of a sudden, Bonk 3 CD has been been available more frequently (and i mean legit copies).

[Buy/Sell/Trade / FS: PCE Override CIC]

CIC Override available.  $75 shipped to the USA-48.
seems to be hovering around $100 on ebay.  Mostly JP sellers.

I wont be "holding" it, so first to pay will get it.  I can ship tomorrow.

Terrific condition.  Can add a pic if you really need one.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: FS: literally a dresser full of dupes.]

how much for the All Star Hockey 95 loose genny cart?

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / error]

never mind

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: [Obey - Brew] pairings and other silly things]

alcohol + swimming = danger

be careful, bob



VERDICT: bob makes a big splash with his (second?) entry, encouraging folks to harvest their old VHS tapes for some photo ops in 2017!  double-plus good

3rd. 
Camp California
Addams Family
Splash Lake

but who's counting.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Fake Dynastic Hero Help?]

Ahhhh so that's who won this.. And here I thought the top bids were just troll bids lol

Didn't a Bonk 3 CD just sell for like $5k sealed?

wtff who does this

Worth every penny.

even YOU can't flip a $5K sealed Bonk 3 CD for profit.  Until you factor in your shipping charge.

I have been using the same version of Paint Shop Pro since 2001.

I think it's 6

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Fake Dynastic Hero Help?]

You can buy this one.  Unless you need the 5 TTI points.

Didn't a Bonk 3 CD just sell for like $5k sealed?  I would think DH would catch more than 1300.
Maybe many bidders had suspicions which scared them away.

Ha!  I ain't gonna pay $100 a year to get 'free' shipping on maybe 10 orders a year.

prime is worth it for the music and video service alone.

[Buy/Sell/Trade / Re: NES, SNES, Sega Master System & Genesis Games]

oh DT isnt the usa version.  at $20 i thought it was a good deal.
seems EU one creeped up a bit.  a couple sold listings are around $12.
looks like some live ebay listings are trying to push it up.
