Nice, that's like the best MSX2 by Philips. Plenty of modifications is possible on this model including MSX2+ conversion, 3rd slot, and ram upgrade.

The battle tap BT-BG2 is only 4 players and is designed to match with the battle pad BT-BG1. There is also a multi-tap PI-PD003 for 5 players, a cordless multitap PI-PD11 for 5 players, a joytap3 HC63-8 for 3 players, and two twin taps TRK-001 and X-HE2 for pcEngine.

blueraven · 11/12/2008, 08:11 PM

Wow. another eBay find?

Note; I spent half an hour cleaning a piece of a hershey bar out of the control pad of my new Avenue 6. I was wondering why left & down were not working. I assume the last owner left in a window on a hot day?

Meh Pocky is way overrated anyways, the chocolate, strawberry, blueberry, etc stuff the dip the sticks in usually has a sort of dry flaky texture and doesn't even taste that great. Hershey's chocolate tastes better than the chocolate on chocolate pocky, and that's bad. Hershey's chocolate is close to being the worst there is. If want something similar but tastes exponentially better, get Yan Yan. Sure it has a much more limited variety, but who cares as Pocky sucks to begin with.

SuperDeadite · 11/14/2008, 08:31 AM

Pocky isn't even that popular in Japan. I've rarely seen actual Japanese people eating it here...

WoodyXP · 11/14/2008, 08:41 AM

Pocky is garbage, like most other Japanese snacks... the price/taste ratio just isn't worth it, IMO.
I gotta stick with my American FAT-ASS tasty snacks.. they're #1. Best on Earth.

Tatsujin · 11/14/2008, 08:52 AM

right..normaly only while karaoke-sessions for the kisskiss-game..*giggles*

guyjin · 11/14/2008, 09:09 AM

I like it, but it's overpriced for what it is.

Tatsujin · 11/14/2008, 09:24 AM

maybe depends where you buy it^^

nectarsis · 11/14/2008, 11:59 AM

I don't know for $1.50 it's not to bad price wise here.

guyjin · 11/14/2008, 12:22 PM

1.50 for a few sticks drizzled with some chocolate? buy some reeses cups - more chocolate for $0.75 less. you can't tell me a cracker stick is worth more than some peanut butter.

Okay, I went by the local thrift stores as usual this morning. Picked up Ice Hockey and a duplicate Rad Racer for NES, but I also found this:

/robotroid02zz8.jpg

I can hardly find any info about these things on the net, apart from one decent site. There are no current or completed listings for them on eBay. Anyone ever seen 'em before?

TR0N · 11/15/2008, 11:23 PM

Frist picture is of the game Ninja Commando and the GC BBA.

Now for the second picture of the famicom game,Ryuga Ninja Crusaders

Btw if any body ask why i got the gc bba it's so i can play pso again,on a private server for free.

rag-time4 · 11/20/2008, 03:56 AM

I bought a copy of Super Mario 3 for the NES today. I was checking out my games to see if I had it, and it wasn't in my collection.

Trying to beef up my Mario collection for my wife's arrival.

Also, patience paid off for me, because I resolutely refused to pay $10 bucks or more, as so many sellers are charging. It took me a few days but there are so many copies floating around I got it pretty cheap.

Ninja Spirit · 11/20/2008, 02:12 PM

Though I don't have the arcade cards yet, I made that preemptive step into the PCE Arcade Card realm.

Waiting on Fatal Fury 2, coming straight from Japan....a little too soon

Arkhan Asylum · 11/20/2008, 08:05 PM

I got Boob Raider: Underwear yesterday.

blueraven · 11/20/2008, 09:03 PM

The Ninja Warriors for PCE for $9 plus shipping. a little wear on the manual but the game is great.

I also picked up one of the most royally narfed-up Express units I've ever seen which will likely turn out to be a parts machine. Likely there will be photos anda repair post in the near future.
