The Trio

Opethian · 07/17/2010, 12:37 AM

will those games run without the Games Express card?

Tatsujin · 07/17/2010, 12:46 AM

Those are no game express game. not even close to them. In a matter of fact, those are no games. I would even consider to call them "anti-games".

Opethian · 07/17/2010, 01:30 AM

Oh my mistake

henrycsc · 07/17/2010, 01:46 AM

Opeth, I got the US Games from Roy, Anearth from Nec, and Bomberman94 from JumptoJapan (I also got a bunch of huey sleeves from jump that I will post pics of in the retr0bright section... gonna take "junk" and make it minty!

Hoobs, congrats on the girly games. I think Roy should be able to buy a Veigues Tactical Mansion with his sales... or is that Vegas?

I think the best shop in that whole complex is the little bakery.. lol the drinking holes are pretty good at night too though.

the best shop in that whole complex is the Popeye's Chicken next to the Safeway!! :-D

Quote from: rag-time4 on 07/14/2010, 07:30 PMAre there any active Japanese magazines that focus exclusively on retro?

I took my wife to Japantown, San Francisco yesterday and checked out the big bookstore... but didn't see any old game stuff anywhere in all of Japantown

Nice Famicom, Tats! I didn't know you had a Neo Geo either.

Tatsujin · 07/17/2010, 11:49 AM

1. It's not a Famicom

2. Check prev. page

:edit: ah lol. u mean the AV Famicom

have already a bunch of em.

Mathius · 07/17/2010, 12:01 PM

No, I meant the older model Fami. Is that one of those alarm clock Famicoms or something? You said to check the last page but I couldn't find anything.

Edit-Or is it a coin bank maybe?

Tatsujin · 07/17/2010, 12:07 PM

the prev. page is for the Neo Geo

no, it is just an alarm clock with fancy mario bros. jingles

Nice job on the Gain Ground SX! Awesome game! Also looks like you have Toilet Kids and Coryoon? If you don't mind me asking, did you get a good price on the Coryoon?

Tatsujin · 07/18/2010, 01:56 AM

lol. l'enry. from where did you get that now?

lol Gain Ground SX! is probably one of the weakest game in thta bunch

JapanTokei · 07/18/2010, 03:15 AM

yea Henry, seriously, WTF is going on, did you crack thru a secret underground PCE supplier or what?
Damn Korea is giving me server issues and I have hard time connecting to pcengine-fx.com the last few days, in just these few days you manage to blow me out of the water with these hauls. damn. Well, I head to Tokyo tomorrow morning so maybe I can find a Cocoron and top all of ya recent grabs

Quote from: JapanTokei on 07/18/2010, 03:15 AMyea Henry, seriously, WTF is going on, did you crack thru a secret underground PCE supplier or what?

No secret underground PCE stockpile. Honestly, I've just been away from collecting for 10+ years, and now that I have money to get the games I've always wanted, I've been playing catch-up.
I probably could get better pricing hunting for a long time, but I figure I can save enough on shipping with a large lot to help offset some of the cost of buying things one at a time. This lot brings me very close to my final goal.

http://www.pcedaisakusen.net/2/33/387/show-user.htm

20 games left to complete PCE Shumps (Biggest are Final Soldier Special, Magical Chase original, Steam Hearts, Rayxanber II & III, and Raiden)

6 games left for the Hudson collection (Raiden & Battle Load Runner are probably the biggest here)

I may try for the Naxat, Namcot, and Masaya collections as well as some random great games and certain hardware.

This lot was from Hit Japan's website see Emerald Rocker's post here:

Quote from: Emerald Rocker on 07/16/2010, 11:32 PMIf anyone orders from Hit-Japan, please use my affiliate link. It will help me pay for more cool games to review!

http://www.gameofjapan.com/index.php?ref=17

Hit Doesn't have everything in stock, so I may not have gotten as good a deal as if he did, but, he was able to get them within a couple weeks and shipped them fast. About 20% have registration cards, and a very few have spine cards, so if that matters to you, you might need to hunt them one at a time.

This was a huge lot (127 titles - and a lot of biggies) for cheaper than a BIN price for a boxed US Magical Chase - the last US Title I now need. Damn it! Why did I sell her?!?!?![/quote]

Quote from: guest on 07/18/2010, 08:01 AMhenry you are PCE/TG drunk!!! and i know drunk

WAY BEYOND DRUNK! You should know! How much was that Kiosk?!?!?

And remember... I obey only to PCE/TG16, so I'm not spending $$ on a lot of the other games/systems that you guys collect.

Selling my US Magical Chase caused all this.... LOL

Opethian · 07/18/2010, 12:50 PM

congrats on the lot, have you updated your trade list

Tatsujin · 07/18/2010, 12:54 PM

Damn, l'enry is close on my heels

TheClash603 · 07/18/2010, 12:58 PM

Gain Ground looks awesome.

henrycsc · 07/18/2010, 12:58 PM

No worries Tats, I will never have that many.... just a lot of a games have no interest to me since I can't read Japanese.

Thanks Opeth, no, haven't updated the trade list yet.... but I do have a handful of new ones. Man this is a lot of stuff to go through... on top of the retr0bright project too! If I never see another dirty hucard sleeve, it will be too soon... LOL

Argh! My eyes! I can't believe what I'm reading! :p

Nice job on the lot! I too would rather purchase all of that than spend my cash on US Magical Chase! But, I also know that feverish pitch of trying to acquire one last certain title....

JapanTokei · 07/19/2010, 08:31 AM

Henry ! I'm playing catchup, here is one back at ya!!
I think I spent the best $700 USD ever today with my haul. I ran straight from the Narita airport to the shop. The Yen exchange rate sucks now, but for 60000 yen ($700 USD), I got the following below.
Same as Henry, I don't want to pinch pennies and wait forever, so I plunged today:

* BRAND NEW SEALed - Bazzaru (yes yes yes.. he completes me !!)
* BRAND NEW SEALed - Dead of the Brain
* Go Go Birdie Chance - Mint complete w/registration card
* Don Doko Don! (been wanting to play this)
* Gunhed Special Huey
* Devil Hunter Yokko (complete) - just wanted to try this one out so I grabbed it

The picture below shows my new sexies on my hotel bed, like I promised I would share with yo uall

These below cost total aggregate $900.... this means I am pretty much done with my chase. Only left is Madou Monogatari ACD...

I am a happy man today

SuperDeadite · 07/19/2010, 08:37 AM

So will you open the sealed Bazarru? But more importantly play Go! Go!,
the game is severely unappreciated. One of my faves

RR1980 · 07/19/2010, 09:01 AM

wow nice job Tokei! I thought you already got DDII from Yahoo Japan for like 3000 yen?

JapanTokei · 07/19/2010, 11:53 AM

Deadite - you hit the nail on the head. I was REALLY wishing NOT to find a brand new Bazzy, since I want to play it.. but they only had this one, so I grabbed it.. but now I have the tough dillemma - pop this baby open or keep him happily sealed? i'll figure it out soon but I have no answers now....

Slice that sucka open; open games are infinitely more fun to play than boring, sealed games.

Tatsujin · 07/19/2010, 12:06 PM

and, a sealed bazzy is a useless bazzy

henrycsc · 07/19/2010, 09:34 PM
