The “What-Did-You-Buy-Today?” Thread

TATS and jboypacman, THANK YOU!!! Especially jboypacman, for specifically identifying the series I was looking for!

Quote from: jboypacman on 12/20/2009, 09:35 PMEsteban those sound like the old Tomy Pocket Arcades from years gone by but to be sure check the links Tats put up that is a great site with some pictures and info that could help you out.

YES! It was the Tomy Pocket Arcade! Specifically this one: Torpedo Terror.

I spent a LONG time searching through the site, but I was looking for "Sub" instead of "Torpedo"!!!

The "Racing Car" game I remembered was actually Space Dock. Ha! So much for my memory. But then I started wondering if it was this: Desert Race, but I don't remember the graphic of the truck at all.

And the third game I was trying to find wasn't about planes after all, it was Attack in Space.

I can't help but think there were some variations on these products, though I couldn't find anything. I think Tomy swapped planes for Aliens... I just can't find proof!

you will find 99.9% of every handheld ever produced!

I spent a long time looking through this great site and was delighted to find the BeeGees Rhythm Machine... and I was even more delighted to discover that Kraftwerk used it! I wonder if they had a preference for Latin, Disco or Pop? My brain says "Pop", but my heart says "Latin"...

And, I thought I should mention that I'm drooling over Tomy's 3D games. Sherman Attack and Skyfighters have stereo sound. Holy cr*p!

I wish I had an opportunity to play these back in the day.

No problem Esteban! I have been doing some reading on these great electronic hand-held/table top games from the 70s/80s for a short while now.

Am wanting to start to collect them starting next year i hope i have a few i just picked up on a trade which is cool but i find myself want more and all sorts lol.

I had a few when i was a kid but those are sadly all but long gone.

SNKNostalgia · 12/25/2009, 06:33 AM

I wish you weren't joking because I have all of those items (I'd even throw in a Whoopee Cushion and Itching Powder) and would love to exchange them for a boxed +.

Ohhh my mistake. I thought you wanted a Turbo Booster Plus but now I see that you're only after a boxed +. Well here you go my friend, feel free to ship me all previously mentioned items in return.

You don't need to rip it,it's not that rare on dvd.Though i'd recomend watching it sub the dub will make your ears bleed.

nectarsis · 01/03/2010, 04:37 AM

The dub has a humor all it's own at times...especially:

shonenx · 01/03/2010, 04:46 PM

i like the outakes from the first dvd where adol says hell go get his knee pads after he gets a job from the fishermen. HAHAHHAHA, the reason im gonna rip it is because i save all my movies now to external hard drive so i can cut down on owning all those dvd boxes im trying to minimize (plus its more room for games heheh)

LOL i wounder how mediablaster dub it in the frist place.

Joe Redifer · 01/04/2010, 02:07 AM

Ug. They say "Uh-Doll" as the pronunciation for Adol. It's supposed to be Ay-doll, just like A-hole.

termis · 01/04/2010, 02:41 AM

Yeah, that Adol pronunciation is just retarded.

shonenx · 01/04/2010, 04:45 PM

Picked up Bomberman '94, Power Golf 2 and Battlefield '94 for PCE at MAGFest for 2 bucks total. The B-man was a trade from some empty SS cases.

Power Golf 2 an't that bad...for a buck. The Battlefield was just so I could put it on the shelf and have more ACD spines.

Bah lucky you.. I pre ordered mine weeks ago and got email saying it been sent in the post on the 6th but I fear my copy is still stuck on some train on some frozen iced up track.....

shonenx · 01/08/2010, 07:10 PM

A lot of stores were selling bayonetta early (which is pissing off gamestop owners). Also u were able to grab the japan release because both j and ntsc versions are region free. if ur copy is not shipped but backordered cancel it an run to a shop. Games worth the wait though
