Heres some recent purchases. I got the magnets from a forum member on neo-geo. Great for sticking to a white board and using to keep highscore/1cc attempts. Glad to have Berserk, as well. I made a blunder and purchased the Asian version from Play-Asia thinking it came out on the same day. Sadly not. But Play-Asia fixed the blunder and shipped it post haste.

5:00 on Saturday, the Nintendo Playstation with Ben Heck. Nerdgasm!

Met him and his son at the PHX convention a few months ago. Really cool guys. Specially the father

Ben Heck is a hack.

It is much kooler to hang out with the old dude who acquired the SNES PlayStation



What's kool is he let me make a video where I rubbed the SNES PlayStation on my left one.

My small but awesome haul from gameon expo. I won the Dodonpachi, and The game paradise high score tournaments, which awarded me the 2 great sandblasted glass cups. Best part of gameon was meeting Sarumaru and others behind the upcoming new PC Engine game "Henshin Engine". I was even lucky enough to get a copy of the demo. The game is really great, and is a great homage to the PCE/turbo graphics. Only spent $5 on all this (the PCE pins were $5)

Haven't purchased much games lately, just waiting for Street Fighter V, but i did get this late Xmas/Bday gift. Only 1000 of these were made.

It is a statue for the game Bloodborne

Originally Devils Thrid wasn't on my radar. I saw a review and figured oh good another $12 game to pick up like the majority of my WiiU games.

But then I saw people posting on FB that it has a limited physical print and its quickly selling out.


So I picked up a copy. Long story short I traveled to Edinburg TX from San Antonio for a day and while traveling I checked the GameStop app to see if any where available. A few places had one but they where all on hold or being shipped out to another store.

I gave up once I got to my home town and checked for Pikmin 3. The store that had a copy I asked if they had Devils Third expecting a no.  But they said YES. But it was a pre order. I was surprised they held onto a pre order that long but the guy thought the game came out yesterday. I was all no it'd been it for a few day. He double checked and was all oh. Wow. I guess you can have it.

So I told him to hold both games sonincan pick it up the next day as it was almost 10PM and I wouldn't make it.

So yeah. Picked it up today. I don't expect much from the game honestly but that might actually increase my enjoyment.

So far the single player is mediocre. The multiplayer however is a lot of fun

The cps2 multi is totally worth it.

Head first is right, I was nervous about everything with the Neo. It quickly changed to excitement.

I need to dig out my Splatterhouse pcb.

My Pandora's box 4 & 19-1 arrived today. I plan on playing some Robotron very soon!

LOL

What do you think of the pandora 4? i've been thinking about picking one up, and what is this 19-1 you speak of?

[Off-Topic / The “What-Did-You-Buy-Today?” Thread]

Recently got back from my trip to Japan, where i got engaged. That was probably the best moment of the trip, but here are a bunch of smaller good moments i came across and picked up.

First up is the big purchase. A Vega Jr. controlbox (supergun) I've been wanting to dabble in arcade games for awhile now. I took my first step awhile back with my Neo Geo big red, and like many have said it sure is a slippery slope. 

This thing is a beast and I love it. Got seimitsu buttons and LS30 semitsu sticks. They all feel great, and the build quality is top notch.

Couldn't get the awesome supergun without getting at least one game to play. So i picked up one that i have enjoyed playing casually (will really learn the game now) Great Mahou Daisakusen.....DIMAHOO!!!

Picked up a CPS2A board as well (cracked plastic in shipping, still works fine) it came with the marquee as well and arcade instructions


Now i didn't forget about my obey. I didn't pick up a lot this time, but i got some quality titles


Now i've always wanted one of these just because its a neat piece, and I found one for a good price so decided to pick it up


Got some more modern things as well.


The main thing i wanted to get on this trip were some sticks for some of my older consoles. I was able to do that for the Saturn,SNES,and PCE.



The only figure i got this time. Couldn't pass up on some YuYu Hakusho stuff,

#21. Bonk's Adventure.

Beat this one last night. I played it in the past but got to the end and i couldn't best Kroll. This was when i wasn't aware how the turbo switch makes this game much easier. Played through it again last night, ans breezed through the game. On to Bonk's revenge next.

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: Race is on B1tches! - How many have you cleared?]

#20. Valis 1
Last night i played and beat Valis 1 on the PCE. I played this a few months back, got to the end and couldn' beat it. The game also froze on me while playing a few months ago at the end, which caused me to not play it for awhile. I started playing again this weekend, and i made it to the end again on Friday and Saturday. The game is pretty easy overall. The only hard part is the last stage, and mainly just the first form of the final boss.

Yesterday however, i was determined to beat this damn game. So i played it, got all the way to the end boss without dying once. Then it was game over screen, after game over screen. Once you die in this game, you lose most of your weapon power ups, and MP, so it just makes it even more difficult. After hitting the game over screen about 6-7 times (trying different patterns of cheesing out the 1st form of the end boss) I realized the easiest way to end this boss would be to use the sword power up and take it as slow as possible.

I was able to defeat the first form of the end boss with half of my HP left. The second form has a very distinct patter that doesn't change at all so its just a matter of surviving and getting enough damage in. I was able to beat him with 1 hit point of life left. I literally screamed "FUCK YEAH!!!" when it was all said and done.

on to the next one........

Been an excited past few days. I'll start off with the little things.


Got this in the mail yesterday. The game is really fun. Its a bit simple, but its on the 3ds so i'm guessing thats why.



My first MVS games. Feels good to finally get some.



The MVS games came along side this beauty. Picked it up last night from a friend that was moving. It was a pain to get to my house, but it was worth it. Now i just need to get it up the stairs into my game loft

This collection is great, and once i discovered it was a thing i had to pick it up

How does the Sega Collection play on the 3DS ? I was wanting to try it as I would love to play Space Harrier.

I have yet to play it yet. Been to busy playing bloodborne. But ill report back once i get a chance to try them out

[Off-Topic / Re: Game Sack]

Well it seems your episode sparked great interest in Sweet Home. One seller on EBay has sold 6 copies in 24hrs.

Repro or Famicom?


Also wasn't there a retro copy someone did in a red news cart?

Maybe you are referring to this?


I got this from timewalk games about 3 years ago. Shitty thing was, they neglected to send me the actual game itself, just the box and the inserts. Took another 5 weeks to get the game

Yeah yeah.


Isn't time walk games out of business now?

Yeah they are....... i better go get the VGA'd. But seriously, i think they were just taking to much work, and tried to be to big for their own good, Hence them forgetting my fucking game.

Been searching for this one for over 3 years now. 

That cover looks pretty awesome!  Google says that it's an action game? 

Yeah it's kinda of a cross between Tower of Druaga and Gals Panic with boss fights if that makes any sense lol.  Music is quite enjoyable too.

Jesus Christ I wish I could sneak into superdeadite's apt. and play all his games when he was sleeping.

Yes, I know that sounds demented.

If you visit, you are welcome to play, no need to sneak.

Is the offer open to me as wel ?_?

I just got back from Japan this past Friday. Here is all the stuff i brought back with me.





I bought the Jojo's used for like $15 but everything was in the box and it was all sealed


Got a decent deal on the twin famicom. The Disk portion doesn't work, hence the deal.


Here is the non-gaming stuff


This was the only berserk thing i saw while in Japan. Very upsetting. I would have dropped tons of money on Berserk stuff


Took a trip to the studio Ghibli museum. It was pretty magical



This deserves its own picture. It was only 500 yen. Figures are everywhere in Akihabara, and many are pretty cheap

[Off-Topic / The “What-Did-You-Buy-Today?” Thread]

Playing a lot of MK8 trying to unlock everything.  Having a lot of fun with it!  I'm getting my ass kicked in Super Smash Brothers though....its a very tough game to pick up if you have never played any of the previous titles.

Best way to get better at smash is to look up some competitive videos. There are also a lot of videos on youtube that explain smash mechanics. You don't have to play at a competitive level, but if you at least understand the mechanics of the game you will see improvement

Some of the xmas stuff i got from the G/F

Is that an actual Nintendo Cart? ....figuring out what the rest is... though my older mind does recognize the word, "Gundam".

Its not a real NES cart. its only a few inches tall. It is this mystery toy where you don't know what cart you will get until you open it. turns out that gold one is rare and goes for $10, MSRP for the toy is $10

oh god, sponge candy!
haven't had that in years, so good.

also, how's the new guilty gear?

Sponge candy is so good. I brought a bunch in to work today for my co-workers. So far Guilty Gear is pretty good. I've only played it twice so far, and its going to be on the back burner for a bit until after i take a Cisco exam on 12/29

[General Gaming / New video game shelve]

Hey guys, I've been thinking about picking up a new gaming shelf for my game room.  I want something that allows me to put my PVM and HD monitor on one shelve. So i took a trip to Ikea yesterday, and ended up looking at a Kallax shelve. I didn't buy it yet, as i want to do some measurements first. But out of all the units i looked at yesterday the Kallax looked to fit the bill.

What do you guys think of this shelve, or are there others shelves you think i should consider. Here's some pics of my current setup and a link to the Kallax.

Found some games at my local record store. The TMNT had 2 price stickers on it. one for $15 and one for $30. There was a crack in the back of the game case, and something rattling on the inside. I told the clerk that i would gamble on the game for $15 but not $30, and they sold it to me for $15. Took it home, replaced the back  case, good as new.



Found these great albums at a thrift store

Its been a very very long time since ive gotten a good deal at a thrift store. I've kind of falling out of the habit of hitting up thrift stores. It just seems like over the past few years that there are so many people doing it, and i just dont see the point. But i went to good will today to try and find some computer speakers, and got an awesome deal, on something ive wanted for awhile but havent been able to find for a good price.



The psone screen is something i've wanted for awhile, just havent found a good deal. I got the whole playstation bundle with controller, memory card, game and screen for $24

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

So ive been in my new place for about 2 months now. I'm basically done with my new setup, and wanted to share with you guys where i do my gaming.


This is the view right outside the doors to the game loft.


To the left off the doors sits my Dreamcast Kiosk. The video on the model dreamcast actually stopped working after the move, so i have to get that looked into


Then we have my classic setup with my Sony PVM 20M2MDU. Currently have RGB(pc duo-r,SNES,JVC X'eye,ps2,saturn) composite(Dreamcast, NES,GC)


To the right of the classic set up is my modern setup. I have a Asus VH236H, which has a Wii U, PS3, and PS4 connected to it.


Some games that are to the right of the modern setup



A bunch of my toys.


When i work from home, this is where i do it.


A semi full view of the room


The double doors to enter the game loft

And thats my game room guys. I hope you enjoy. If and when i get a better camera I'll upload some more detailed pictures.

[General Gaming / Re: video game wire managemnet]

thanks for all the Reson8er. Any of you guys have suggestions on a shelf that can fit a 19" PVM and a 22" widescreen monitor, plus 12 consoles.

how much are you looking at spending?

Arouns $100 maybe

May have to increase your budget a bit more if you want all your stuff out.  Check out Staples, they have some interesting takes on game furniture. You could probably mix and match a few of their things to suit your needs.


or with a few trips to the hardware/lumber store and some planning, you may be able to put together something like this for around a hundred, probably a bit more but not much. Maybe...

Yeah i dont think i have the wood working skills or time to make a shelf like that, and that shelf is a bit much for me. I think if i can fit around 10 consoles under the TV shelf i will be good, the other ones can be placed on top of the shelf and the PVM monitor. I plan on taking a trip to Ikea this weekend, ill also give staples a check.
