The “What-Did-You-Buy-Today?” Thread

Gredler · 02/22/2017, 02:32 PM

My fiance got me Wild Guns PS4 for valentines day, and then instantly got me Last Guardian for PS4 for my birthday. Such a spoiled guy! I didn't even ask her for them, she said she saw me almost buying both of them but holding off due to the upcoming wedding expenses. Wild Guns is a blast, and she's better at it than me! I haven't opened Last Guardian yet, but next week I hope to explore it a bit - I never played Ico but really marveled at Shadow of the Colossus.

Gypsy · 02/22/2017, 02:51 PM

Had multiple goodies arrive today. Curses n Chaos from LRG, an SD card for my Wii U (NAUGHTY NAUGHTY) and Akira Psycho Ball + XII Stag both PS2 Japanese imports.

ChuChu Flamingo · 02/22/2017, 03:56 PM

Got the plushies from Richy and a sealed copy of Ai Cho Aniki from feebay.

Quote from: guest on 02/21/2017, 10:43 PMThat's cool, I wish I had an early HMD like that one.

It's more then just an HMD. This actually has Head Tracking, though game support is unsurprisingly quite limited.

Bloufo · 02/23/2017, 03:32 AM

French Master System II RGB,

A little bedside shooting anyone? It's an alarm clock with some built in shooting games

Good fun but I snore louder then the alarm that goes off in the mornings.

Flare65 · 02/24/2017, 08:59 AM

That alarm clock screams 1983 in appearance. Looks like something you would see in the movie West World.

Got these two,

I believe the seller is also a member here.

So. Wait. It's? What?

Is it a way of modding for component in a PCE?

Gypsy · 02/25/2017, 10:45 AM

Should have a bunch of crappy dvds and blus in the mail today.

That looks like the RGB version - there is a component version as well - which I have just ordered to try out...

That's right. To be honest I didn't even know he had a component version. I saw this for $23 shipped, and thought why not.

EvilEvoIX · 02/26/2017, 01:43 PM

Some cool pickups this past weekend.

Got this guy from Digital Press. Fairly rare, not the best game but I am glad I have it. The Legend of Success Joe, based upon a Japanese Manga.

These were the games they got. They held this game for me all week. Some rare stuff they got almost went instantly. Sengoku 2 is left for $499.99 if anyone wants it.

Always wanted one of these TV's and now I have one. Brand new in the Box. The 3D works great on Moto-Storm and my PS4 looks great on it too. Get one if you can. Gona try Grand Tourismo 3D on it next, fun feature.

I remember reading about these as a kid and I had to have it. Runs off of 6 batteries or a 6V plug. Has stereo sound and a light and a magnifier glass as well as storage and "Arcade" sticks. Very cool it's in excellent condition in the box. Best $5 I have spent. They were from Radio Shack and $29.99 Originally.

bob · 02/26/2017, 05:31 PM

found this model at a flea market today.
Also got a few wii and PS3 games for $1 each, but nothing special.

bartre · 02/26/2017, 05:32 PM

nabbed myself another xbox, this time with an xecuter mod chip in it, so I'll have to see what I can make it do.

still cleaning it up, and the disc drive sticks, so I'm rebuilding the drive.

Also, in my neverending quest to organize all of this ridiculous stuff, I've bought a chunk of system carrying cases, I've been pleasantly surprised with the quality so far.

and finally - more games! all from local shops:

xcrement5x · 02/26/2017, 10:52 PM

Got in some goodies today
Fantastic Pinball Kyutenkai (SS)
Some dvd/blu movies (nothing great)
Dead Man's Hand (Xbox)
Oppo DV-980H DVD player

Medic_wheat · 02/28/2017, 09:04 AM

How is that painkiller for the PS3? I thought it was physical import only. Interesting to see it had a NA release.

I'm not exactly impartial, but I love it.
not as good as the PC version, but I saw it and had to have it.

apparently it was an amazon exclusive physical release, like JoJo or Under Defeat

Dicer · 02/28/2017, 03:02 PM

The belt came in for my turntable so I can be all hipstery...

Bullet Soul Infinite Burst

I played the original Xbox painkiller and have fond memories. Well guess I'll have to sum it up on Zon next week.

Medic_wheat · 02/28/2017, 03:44 PM

Yikes. NA PS3 copy of painkiller on Amazon is going for $80. F that go for the U.K. $17 option.

And what's this Amazon? There is a PS3 Sybiria complete physical for $30? Hmm thought this was Xbox and PC only.

cr8zykuban0 · 03/01/2017, 12:34 AM

gotta say February was a great month of pickups. These 3 items were definitely the highlights!

Grabbed 2 great aes titles for a great price!

Baller Status. Two Higher End carts. AOF3 has amazing animation, arguably the best on the system which really says something for a relatively low MEG count (under 300). I only have the inferior CD version that as the cut frames of Animation and SLOW load times.

cr8zykuban0 · 03/01/2017, 02:28 PM

@dicer- nah dont say that man. I just got lucky that i got these for a good price conpared to what they normally for. Definitely need to jump back on the pc engine wagon!

@evilevolx thanks to income taxes i was able to afford the cab but i got it for 400 and each game under 300 each. Even though aof 3 plays a bit slower, it does make up for its great visuals and beautiful animations

Digi.k · 03/02/2017, 08:53 AM

WOW $300 for AOF 3 is a steal!!! The Real bout Series is a favorite of mine as well.

I just got these from NYC the other day, wasn't even planning on it just ran into them. They came with some cool acrylic cases that I used to put my more expensive games in (last Resort & Savage Reign.

Thrash Rally and Real Bout Fatal Fury Loose.

Thrash Rally is a Link game that must be fun two players simultaneous. I'd love to try that.

Gypsy · 03/02/2017, 03:50 PM

I paid like $2 for all the Art of Fighting games. *picks nose**

*Yes I'm aware playing it on PS2 isn't the same thing.

Got a nice game in the mail today. Double Shienryu. PS2 import.

As compared when playing MGS on the original PS? Graphically, no question this a very noticeable step up from that. Higher res, smooth textures. I'd probably even slightly prefer this over playing the original MGS on a PS2. Over VGA on that old PC CRT Monitor, it's clean and sharp.

Gameplay wise, the game runs fine. I'm not a huge fan of the DC's controller to start with though, so I borrowed a friends old PS to DC controller adapter (Total Control Plus). I'm used to playing this game with a PS controller, so this was right up my alley. Controls were tight and responsive.

I was looking forward to trying it with my wireless PS2 Logitech controllers as well. Pity though they don't seem to function with that particular adapter.

Gypsy · 03/03/2017, 03:19 PM

Got some shit today.

Box full of PC games, all boxed. Need to compare Icewind Dale II to my other copies but it's a very likely raffle option here. It's one of my favourite old PC rpgs, so I'd like to find a good home for it.

Also SFC cheapy goodness Magical Taruruto Kun (sp?) and Arrow Season 3 on blu (DONT HATE).

Gypsy · 03/04/2017, 11:43 AM

Woop woop. Got a nice package from Japan today that took over a month. Thunder Force VI (HOLY SHIT THIS GAME ROCKS), Mushihimesama (this is kind of a bad port but the 360 version is region locked) and Triggerheart Exelica Enhanced (third character wee).

Dicer · 03/04/2017, 12:08 PM

My PoP came in, makes me lust after a Karateka port...

The HD Retrovision folks were saying that this is "a poorly designed ripoff" of the product offered by db-electronics. And that this has the capacitors on backwards. "Video signal quality would be compromised and eventually those capacitors will fail."

I believe the seller of these is also a member here. I wonder what he has to say about this?

Anyhoo,

My latest pickup was one of those Atari XEGS systems.

Got it relatively cheaply. Quite discolored but it works fine.

Rengoku: The Tower of Purgatory and Rengoku II: The Stairway to H.E.A.V.E.N. came in the mail.
