DUDE, that G&W is in MINT condition. Sweet find!

[TheClash603]

I try to collect G&W, but finding them at a good price is VERY difficult.

My recent pickups included a bunch of stuff from the Fan Expo in Canada.  Specifically the following:

- Phantasm poster master print signed by Don Coscarelli.
- Pokemon Heartgold NIB w/ pokedex
- Archie Meets the Punisher comic
- Ilsa She Wolf of the SS DVD

Got a bunch of promo stuffs too, such as:
- Playstation 4 t-shirt
- Playstation 4 sunglasses
- Playstation 4 keychain
- Xbox One Lanyard
- Batman 66 #1 comic
- tons of other crap

I also have two Laseractive games on the way in the mail.  Back to the Edo and Demon's Judgement.  This completes my Laseractive set, except for a Demon's Judgement obi.  Damn obi just pissing me off now...

Ahhhhahah, it was you who got that Back to the Edo!  I was watching it but it went for more than I was willing to pay ;)

I just bought all three SNES Street Fighter II games on Wii U, because I guess I pretty much have to collect every single iteration of this game now... and they were doing a pretty sweet deal of them too.



What made this even harder to miss is that I got SSFII at an even greater discount for already having it on the Wii.

Nice! I've never heard of this hack before, will have to look into it. What all is different?

That looks like one of those SCART to RGB boards....correct me if I'm wrong.  I've seen a few of those on ebay, but never with any sort of case/mounting, just a bare board.  Did you buy the clear case to put it in?  Also, do you need a separate power supply to run it?

Close! It's actually a GBS-8200 scaler unit encased and purchased from ArcadeForge. I do have the piece you mention though, as can be seen here in the full setup (connected to my Saturn at the time):

Insane Megaman 2 hack...

You gotta see it for yourself. I've beaten alot of Megaman games, and this almost made me want to break a lamp

[Nando]

.... and this almost made me want to break a lamp

LMAO! I must check this out.

I hear bits of music from Ducktales' moon stage theme and Legend of Valkyrie during Airman's stage. Pretty cool but a little abrasive sounding. The original Megaman 2 music sounded way better.

I hear there's also a hard patch for that hack, where you have no invincibility time after being hit.

Dreamcast love. That is all.

I picked up an RF adaptor to replace my Famicom one that died, and I had been using for my PC Engine. Anyway, it was just a cheap, fancily packaged HK one from Retro-Bit. Let's take a look at the back of the box. (I don't have good pictures of the cable itself...)

Notice how it contradicts itself, it says it goes to Channel 13 on the left side, but 3 or 4 on the paragraph on the right! Also, there's no way you could "seamlessly" switch from TV to game unless you have some kind of dual RF adaptor. It comes with a standard RF to coax cable, and a box that basically just works as an adaptor for a Sega Genesis Model 2. There's no other coax port on the box itself unlike the NES-101 gray box model.

Le sigh... either way it works alright with my PC Engine. Not the best picture, but I've seen much worse.

The holy trinity, in Sharp x68000 form!



Couple of other random pickups - California Games is the blue label re-release, and Alex Kidd is the red label re-release (2 down, 4 to go on the re-releases). I picked up the copy of Sonic because I noticed it was a U.S. seller and had a faint sticker on the back. I can't tell 100% because of sticker damage but I think this is a U.S. copy of Sonic. Might have to head over to SegaAge to verify.

Trinity?  Dude you totally need Thunder Blade.  It's still the best port of the game.  And for best results, get yourself a Cyberstick analog controller.  All 4 of those games support it for maximum awesomeness.

I managed to find a TG16 boxed with all paperwork in awesome shape for a nice price. 

Other than that, this new little gem has kept me from buying much (7800.00).
The rig on the left is my new parachute, right is the old one.  you can see the size difference, new one is smaller and far more aggressive.

Are any of the numbers on the code visible from the sticker in its current condition?

The graphics are really well done too. I've had to pause and stare a few times.

it's okay Punk, it took me about 2 months to play rayxanber III.
course, i had a valid excuse - my system was getting UPGRADED.





what's yours?

[BlueBMW]

Not really game related, but period correct...

Bought this broken for cheap.  Repaired some corrosion and broken traces inside, loaded up SIX "C" batteries and now it works just like I remember!

Built by tender young hands in the Peoples Republic of China in 1990, I bring you the Hot Keyz by Tyco!

Oh wow, didn't know they had a keyboard version of this.

I had the "Hott Lixx" Guitar, which TOTALLY SUCKED - nowhere near as cool as it was in the commercial:

I am on car #4 in my lifetime and I haven't ventured outside of US makes.

My videogame / electronics purchases support Asia enough already.  Buying US cars is the least I can do to keep Detroit from looking like Somalia.
