Shooting gallery is such an awesome game. So underrated.
STATUS: I am currently lost in the maze that is Section Z. Seriously. I remember making maps when I was a kid 25 years ago. I NEED THEM NOW. I feel like Chris Bucci, except I won't find anything.

Quote from: Nando on 02/01/2013, 09:03 AMTron is that a SNES to SFC converter?
Yes it is it's made for a pal snes but it works on a sfc as well,letting you play snes games on it.That's why i bought one.
What's the brand?  I plan on buying a SFC in the future,  and want one of those.
FYI, you can play any region game on any console, just by doing physical, not electrical modifications.
From what I understand, one has to jack around with (file down) the slot cart in the SFC, something I don't particularly want to do. Is there another way?

 I know that in the SNES, it just takes a pair of needle nose pliers and two tabs off, but I actually want the JP console :D

A few recent local finds. :D

/recent-pickups-120207-600x558.jpg

EDIT:  I just wanted to add my 2 cents on a couple of these... :P

I've been on a  Robotech kick lately.  I found the first 5 DVDs of Robotech a few weeks back and have really enjoyed re-watching them.  And I just picked up the old Palladium RPG rulebook for Robotech.  It's chock full of so much awesome artwork.  So when I saw Battlecry, which I've never played before, I figured I'd give it a go.

For some reason I've been feeling the urge to suffer through old PS1 racers lately.  :mrgreen: I think it might have started when some of us were talking about Bleemcast and Gran Turismo.  Anyway, not too long ago I picked up Wipeout 3 for the PS1 and have been having fun playing that.  JetMoto 2 caught my eye as I remember having fun playing *one* of the JetMoto games bitd.  In many ways, the game has not aged well and the controls feel clunky compared to modern racers, but you can tell there's a lot of spit shine on this game.  Lots of nice little graphical touches and the game mostly plays pretty fast.

I picked up GBA Eye of the Beholder on a whim.  Didn't know anything about it.  I've only played it for a handful of minutes to make sure it works, but it reminds me a LOT of Order of the Griffon as far as play mechanics go.  You create a party, wander around in first person mode, and go into a turn based Heroscape/D&D 4E mode for battles.  Looks like it'll be a lot of fun.

I've had the GBA Attachment for my Gamecube for practically ever so I've never felt the need to pick up a Super Gameboy.  And I only have 3 GB/GBC games.  But I really like the ones I have and I prefer using a SNES pad to a Gamecube pad.  Really like the interface for this!  I didn't know you could take screenshots!  Wicked cool.

I'm going to go start another thread asking what games playable on the Super Game Boy are worth picking up.

TheClash603

My Gamestop still didn't get Fire Emblem.  They told me it should be in on Friday.  I better not get screwed out of my preorder art book!

Well honestly I haven't tried it yet.  My Gamecube isn't currently hooked up and today I kept going back and forth between which TV to hook it up to.  I know once it's out I'm going to want to revisit a few choice GC and GBA games so I'm torn between hooking it up in my dedicated retro area in the bedroom (27" Tube TV, boom box speakers, gaming chair) or my living room setup (47" LCD, 5.1 setup - big bass, comfy couch).  I'll decide tomorrow and let you know what I think of the game.  I've read/watched mixed reviews, but overall it sounds like there's fun to be had, if only in short bursts.  I'm cool with that.

I really like this guy's videos and he had a pretty favorable view of the game:
so I'm hoping to report back with a favorable report. :)

Battle of Olympus is a really cool Zelda II clone. I remember renting it bitd and being completely entranced by it. Just be prepared for some stupidly long passwords. It's worth it though.

Ok, so I've played it off an on over the past couple of days and I'm on the fence.  It's not really very good, but the nostalgia factor is pretty high.  It's cool to be able to fly around in the Robotech universe, but the controls are very clunky.  As the jet, it's not too bad, but the Guardian is really challenging to get used to, and when you're in Battloid mode, you only have a machine gun.  The graphics are pretty good.  They have a nifty cel shaded effect, though I don't think it's as nice as the effect found in Wind Waker.  Music from the original show is here, which is neat.  Nice cutscenes.

Got myself a Sony Wega 29 inch CRT (larger than that is hard to find in Japan unless you're OK with widescreen). Damn fine picture. Really makes me want to S-Video or RGB mod my Duo and Supergrafx, but that will be much later, if ever.

Nice score! I've been searching around craigslist for Sony Wega 32 inchers, as I'm beginning to think my Samsung 40" LCD just doesn't cut it for my older consoles.

How does the Duo look on that TV in composite?

It definitely looks good, and I'd bet you would be glad to get hold of a CRT. Naturally, the Duo in composite (and the Supergrafx, too) has that quirk where certain color patterns get all funky when they scroll. That's the nature of the composite encoding on this system. If an S-Video mod can reduce or get rid of that, then I think I wouldn't really need any other quality boosts.

With the S-video mod (thesteve on the forums version), it fixes both the dot crawl and color shimmering. It even gets rid of rainbow effects and shimmering you see even when the screen is sitting still. It also improves resolution and color by a lot. It is definitely worth doing, trust me.

Went thrifting Saturday morning and found a PS2- w/memory card, 2 (working) controllers and all hookups in VERY nice shape.  This particular thrift store that I went to had 4 PS2s for sale, 2 of them had generic 3rd party controllers, and none of the others had memory cards.  When I tested out the one I picked up I found a Guitar Hero II disc inside.  =)  I bought a copy of Raiden III years back, but never was able to try it out as I've never had a PS2 that played those finicky blue backed games!!  Well, I was happy to find that this one was able to do it!  All for only $16.  All working, very happy!!

This thrift store has more PS2's and a couple Original Xbox's as well that are listed at $16 each (If I get them on Saturday's (15% off) )  If anyone is interested, I could take a look next weekend. =)

3 blocks of walking later and I found a copy of final Fantasy IX for Psone for $2.50.  All in all, a great day of 'squatch'n' for goodies!!
