[Off-Topic / AVGC obey preaching]

rest of the pic's

Last weekend at AVGC, I had a few retro goodness to share. Event is very games concentric, over dealers and guests. Met up with Johnpv, Este and Ninja Spirit(MIA to fb) to talk turbo and smack on SNES. Everything was in one large expo hall which has is good and bad, but over all I had a good time at the event.

I was wondering if you or majors would be the first to post some here.

You know I'm always drinking my "special tea" and do not have the facilities to post.

Sorry comrade...I took the CDi pic to send to a friend(he had a CDi in the museum). He may or may not have snagged them...I have not talked to him since the show.

Only good CDi are burned and buried!

Some obey at the MAGFest museum:





a few more here.

We had 6 PCE's but swapped the beefcase out when someone brought a PC-FX. Good thing, b/c the Mark III developed issue with the controller port (lame feka hardware) so we brought back the PCE. Very similar to MGC museum but smaller since we've only been doing he area for three years now at MAGFest.

[Off-Topic / Retropalooza Dallas(Arlington) 2017, diary of a fanboy]

  My little day trip is over...

  Got up at 4am to get ready, hit the road little after 4:30am. Got to airport little after 6am...parked, got through security and had luck getting on 7:30am flight to Dallas. Got in DFW little after 9am, got a Lyft...made it to Retropalooza venue right at 10am when the doors opened. Walked around the dealers room(not much for me). Had a chili dog, played some Keith in the "console area" of the con...WEAK! 11:45am, went to the panel room that Joe and Dave where gonna be at and sat through 15 minutes of non-Game Sack youtubers(Chasers? maybe). Then the main event...55 minutes of my the best damn youtube guys out there...GAME SACK in the flesh! After the panel, got my shit signed, shook hands and called Lyft to get my ass back to the airport to catch the 3:30pm flight(I could not get on the 2:30, it was full). Get back to Charlotte around 7pm, dropped of some speakers'n stuff to a buddy who lives down there, then drove back home...got back to post this at 10pm. Full day for a REAL Sack fan...

  As for the show, saw a $5 loose P-47...talked seller down to $4 had to liberate it from it's display case misery. A few US Turbo to be seen from other vendors...all expected prices. P-47 seller also had a spine faded Riot Zone for $40, but I was 'meh. One seller had some CPS2 boards...common fodder but he did have a Slammasters(grey...cps 1.5 or Q??) that I would have tried to get if I wasn't flying(I had no baggage). I was only there Sunday, so someone could have snatched up other obey for sale. The event can def grow...had lot of open space on the console/tournament side...either more consoles setup for free play or cabs. But I think the main draw for this type of show is the hollytubers and dealers room. I over heard a dealer bitching about the kibosh on booze in the venue and the hotel public areas...not that that would prevent me with contraband if I ever go again for multiple days.




This guy has the loose P-47...he had prices on all his stuff unlike other sellers...I mentioned that to him and thanked him. As he said..."I've got nothing to hide". Sellers like that need to be rewarded with our business. I did not get on him about the Sparky labels(?) since he was selling for a buck each.

From everything I heard, MAGfest this year was garbage. blah blah...

I've never seen a concert in the decade I've been going...I might have seen one panel is as much time. With that said, can't wait for more Sack attendance! (I only went to Retropalozer for Game Sack).

The computer museum area was awesome. By the way, does anyone have any pictures of it?

[General Gaming / Re: Tell me about arcade joysticks!]

The Tekken 5 PS2 anniversary stick was a solid el cheapo stick to get back when it was liquidated for $20 (with T5!). It a basic HRAP and with some easy modding, could be made to connect to about anything. I used a $5 PS3 3rd party controller that I hacked for the PCB to use it for PC and PS3. Updated it with a "real" JLF, changed out the buttons and striped and re-painted the CP.

[Off-Topic / Re: Samsung GX 13" gaming TV (GXE 1395) circa 1999]

We have two of the 13" GX's. We use them at cons for some retro action. But we have slowly replacing all of our "regular" CRT's with PVM's so eventually the GX's will be off rotation. For con purposes and travel, the shape is not the best.

[General Gaming / Re: Any Atomiswave Fans Out There?]

I had a AW mobo and a few games(Fist, NGBC and Valour) a while back but ended up selling like Punkic did. I do still borrow one for cons to run FotNS, Rumble fish 2 and sometimes Dolphin Blue. It's definitely much better to run on a Hi-rez cab. But I have no interest is owning one again.

... Would have been really neat to see 10 player Saturn Bomberman in all it's glory though the screen better be gigantic!

Not the biggest projection we could get b/c the room was tight at AWA! I'll have a sweet setup for Youmacon next week...I'm gonna have a 20" PVM running RGB along with a projector thrown up on a screen.

[Off-Topic / Re: Documentary: The Evolution of Your Gaming Setup (aka Happy Place)]

Moved stuff around, had to get that PVM on display.



I can wanted to get the games more exposure, since I rarely listen to my CD's, I swapped them. This also makes it easier to grab a game and play since there is no panel in front.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Calling all carboard collectors!]

I have (not own) one beat-to-hell box for Military Madness. I do not remember getting it, so it's must have been in some lot buy I did in the past. I use it to store my Ys map, World Class Baseball stats booklet and loose manuals.

Paper collectors can keep on collecting, as long as thay pay rent(aka take care of real life) and do not fill these forums with 'tard threads.

On Lock and Wolf's subject of collecting for physical media, I do like to stack my loose Hu's and play with them like poker chips.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: For those interested in the Shuttle:]

For me, the fact that it can ONLY play HuCards is cool. Having it dedicated to the often dismissed card games, solidifies my passion for them. CD's are overrated...

Post updated...

Console April update, some small moving around:

With the two new turbobs, I had to move stuff around...no one puts obey in the corner. More wire management going on since I had to remove a PS2 and hook the LD player through the receiver since I ran out of room on the switch box array. I'll have to play with it for a spell to make sure it suits my needs...the HD TV is mainly for OTA, so only the DTV and 360 are hooked up, but I left a PS component cord connected and easy access if the occasion arises.

Not that I need 4 PCE's all hooked up and ready, but...well, yes I DO! The Shuttle needed a riser since the damn A/V out on the Duo (and IFU) stick out, but I feel it makes it looks like it's taking off or flying. I may get creative and fabricate some sort of hidden podium/mount so it truly looks like it's floating.

March 2014 HT update, in beta form:
-got a new screen so I had to move the PJ closer. Still need to get a HDMI cable so I can move the PC to the new shelf on the wall with the amps. Added some HTIB speaker for the rears and center along with a new projector(Epson 905HD). It's coming along well and the screen DOES make a difference.

I use el cheapo A/V that I've acquired over the years from game stores and one from a salvage shop. Since composite is outdated, you can score some passive switch boxed on the cheap now.

I do have the issue of not enough ports so I have to piggyback my switchboxes but this works for me.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: How did you find out about the Turbo Grafx 16 PC Engine.]

It was either in VG & CE or EGM in early '89.  Both of them ran cover stories for the upcoming new systems and I was infatuated with the TG-16 right from the start.

Ditto, I picked up the VG&CE with the cover shot of the turbob on the Lotus while attending a summer camp for computers at ASU. Legendary Axe gfx sold me and I waited till '90 to score a sweet price on a package deal from a local seller. Bought a CD-ROM in '91 and never looked back.

Auction pickup(s)

A NOS Metal Slug conversion kit. Complete with (unopened)MVS 1-slot, complete cart, marquee, sticks and buttons. I only wanted the MVS since I'm down two ATM. Gonna sell off the MSX since having matching serials and all the goodies should get some n-g member a woody. Buttons and sticks are a bonus, saves me 20 bucks the next time I need to order replacements..


Zombie Raid! Now I do not have to go to Galloping Ghosts to play this cool gun game. I didn't actually purchase it, but it is in my house(9/10th right!?). I'm to delivery it to Lost Ark in January after MAGFest but until then, credit feed this bitch to no end.

I've been focused on collecting systems

Well the Turbo world does offer a lot of systems to collect:




If you have a TG-16+CR-ROM and SGX you are set. Might need a Super system card, but you've got import Hu's covered (no need for a pricey adaptor unless you want to go the mod route). I'd not worry about Arcade Card games just yet, there is sooOOO much to play before you go down that rabbit hole.

[General Gaming / Re: Bomberman post TG16: the Best and the Rest]

All I have to say is Saturn Bomberman is by far my favorite, although I have yet to try to get 10 people to come over and play all at once (most I had was it was still pretty awesome.

Yup outside of the tg-16/pce my faves are  Saturn bomber man which might just be the best bomberman game ever with its amazing music and game modes and 10 player battles even with you vs 9 npcs.   Also really like the irem arcade game.

Another vote for SS B-man. When we run it at cons(10 player), there is never an empty seat all weekend.
