That cover art is way better than the PC Engine version! I really enjoyed the game in the arcade but the PC Engine version was lackluster. Hopefully they did a better job on the Mega Drive version for you.

I couldn't find a photo of the PC Engine LT connected to the Super CD-ROM system so pretend that the Core Grafx is an LT (in the photo from the link below). The left power input has a short cable that connects to the Super CD-ROM system which leaves the right power input for the power supply but if the LT is used by itself (without the Super CD-ROM system) I believe you can use either input for the power supply.

Off-Topic / Turbo Grafx T-shirt Raffle!!!
07/08/2016, 11:13 AM
I purchased this shirt from Turbokon with the intention of raffling it off but then forgot about it until someone brought up the fact that raffles hadn't been happening as frequently as they used to. With that said...

Up for raffle is a size Large Turbo Grafx T-shirt complete with Obi strip (j/k it is washing instructions) open to anyone in the continental US on these forums. Winner must post a selfie of themself wearing the shirt. Drawing will be July 21.

Chop5 made some "Chu cards" of Coryoon and Magical Chase. Definitely a cheaper solution than owning the real deal. You might want to contact him to see if he has any left.

The first guy is Nicolaj Coster-Waldau (better known as Jaime Lannister on Game of Thrones).

I was one of the lucky guys to have an additional Secret Santa. Got a PC Engine magazine, Bazzy Pencil Case and greeting card from the United Kingdom. Thanks Superplay!

IMG

My Secret Santa decorated the shipping box with this cool Obey artwork (sorry for the fuzzy picture).

IMG

Santa (aka Medic_Wheat) gave me Skweek, Stratego, and a bunch of Christmas candy.

IMG

Also got these 2 pieces of Anime but I don't have a Blu-Ray player so I will be re-gifting the one on the left in the form of a raffle.

I'd like to thank my Santas (Superplay and Medic_Wheat) and Necromancer for hosting/organizing this event.  =D>

Valkyrie Profile and Brave Story were even sealed.  Thanks, Hoobs!  :mrgreen:



Quote from: MrFulci on 12/26/2014, 01:46 PMI asked, but did not adhere to the normal PCEFX rules of this, so, I almost followed the rules of this.... only I was not-so-secret, and cheaper, and not so random.

Interesting to see how others handle this, each year, though!
Uh, what?
What Hoobs found sealed PSP games?  I am having a hell of a time just finding them complete.


Why do I feel Amazon is the answer? Lol
My local "Video Game Castle" had a huge display case of PSP games. I didn't even realize they were sealed until I was packing them into the shipping box.

Ahahah, can't believe somebody else besides me remembers this old Ben Stiller character! That's all I remember from his short-lived show, his, "Do it, do it, c'mon do it, do it, etc." shtick. The show first aired on Fox, no ? And didn't last very long ?
It was only on for one season (13 episodes). I have the DVD and that was one of my favorite sketches. He did reprise that role in Starsky & Hutch.

Please sign me up for this raffle.

My Secret Santa gifts arrived today (better late than never). Looks like I was one of the 4 lucky recipients of the soundtrack CD from SuperPlay. Thanks and appreciation to NecroPhile for hosting the Secret Santa gift exchange, SuperPlay for providing additional gifts, and my Secret Santa (my guess is bartre?).

Quote from: hoobs88 on 12/15/2013, 11:34 PMI've been playing Magic since 93. My favorite format is Sealed. I enjoy brewing new decks for Standard too. Especially with underdog cards that noone plays with. I recently won 1st place at an Invitational Qualifier with a Master of Cruelties deck.
Very nice. Whats your deck list. Right now im playing a mono black devotion, but i dont think i will be playing game tournaments with it, just because mutavaults are to hard to come by. I really like that master of cruelties decks ive looked at alot. I might have to look into building one myself
I just PM'ed my decklist to you. Here's a photo of my prize for that tournament...
IMG
1st place at the Invitational is $500 and a case of the next set (Born of the Gods). The only way to get a ticket is to win one of the weekly tournaments so it will be steep competition.

I was under the impression that those games were coming out on Black Friday but I got a text message from Game Stop that seemed to indicate that they would be available for pickup today while your photo certainly confirms it.

Herman Li signature guitar
Isn't Herman Li the guitarist from Dragonforce?  Man, he's a monster.  I remember watching a video awhile back where he said a lot of his licks were inspired by retro games. 
Yes, Herman Li is indeed the guitarist from Dragonforce. I have only owned an acoustic guitar over the 20+ years that I have been playing so I wanted to get a nice electric guitar and spent some vacation money towards it since I didn't go on a cruise this year.

Sold off some dupes and used the majority of the cash to pick this guy up for about $10 out of pocket! Super minty condition, and it's finally added to my collection!
Never heard of that game...looks cool from the cover art and it is a Capcom game so I'll have to look into it.

Monster Cereals!
I see someone was shopping at Target!  They're the only ones who got the old school boxes, I've got the "updated" versions when I bought them at King Soopers (Kroger) near me.  The flavors are new too! Personally I like the new Yummy Mummy (Orange Creme) over Frute Brute (Cherry), but it's definitely no Fruity Pebbles, my personal weakness.
It seems like Target is the only store that sells the Monster Cereals every year around Halloween in my area. I just tried Yummy Mummy this morning for the first time and it is good. I'm looking forward to trying Frute Brute as well. Fruity Pebbles has always been my favorite. I got a limited edition box of Fruity Pebbles with marshmallows a few years back and always wondered why they didn't sell them on a regular basis. I suppose I could always just remove the marshmallows from Lucky Charms and add them to my Fruity Pebbles (which would essentially leave me with Alpha Bits cereal).

There are a few scuffs on the system but that is just cosmetic. It has been tested and everything functions fine. Sorry for the poor quality photos but the battery on my camera just died so I had to use my iPod. Looking to get $350 for this setup (everything in the photos below) plus $25 for shipping (Continental US only).
