Joe Redifer · 08/17/2010, 08:42 PM

I'd download that if it were to be made available for the PS3 via PSN. Can't get a PSP for one game, though.

JapanTokei · 08/18/2010, 10:13 AM

I'm curious too but judging from the Amazon Prod desc - this doesn't seem like a traditional Y's game, more like a Final Fantasy with Y's characters...

Nectarsis - let us know how the game play is!

No clue how you gathered Final Fantasy in there. I played the japanese release for awhile, it's a straight action rpg. Solid in every way IMO.

thats awesome hen. so that controller came with a game? thre button? I wish I could see it better

henrycsc · 08/20/2010, 10:02 PM

Turbo, here's the Forgotten Worlds/Avenue 3 combo.... Think this price is quite high though.
I got it in a trade with JapanTokei

Digi.k · 08/20/2010, 11:17 PM

that Moto Roader II has some awesome title music track! shame I didn't think the rest of the music was quite up to scratch..

finally purchased the Castlevania Harmony of Despair game.. great in multiplayer.. single player can be a little tough tho..

JapanTokei · 08/21/2010, 03:24 AM

Good to see the games arrived safely and in nice condition

Did you play BattleLodeRunner & PopMagic yet? those are fun 2 player games. I didn't really get to play W-Ring before sending it to ya.

I'm itching for my trip back to the Bay Area so I can pick up the games you sent me! can't wait...

Turbo - the 3 button pad came in a special box w/Forgotten Worlds released at the JP market only. It's not too easy to find one with the game and box together complete (the one I traded to Henry was my only one

). I think fair price for it, used, is around $75.

LOL, the game I tried first was W-Ring. I'm enjoying it so far. Level 2 is like a shooting version of Devil's Crush. Haven't tried the others yet.

Sparky · 08/21/2010, 08:43 AM

wow henry ---> how do you keep your other half from pulling your nuts off with all your buys?

I found a Gameboy printer with the paper roll still in it, i have the camera so i am ready to print

Also got my Sega Nomad modded!!! has a nice LCD screen in it ( bad shot of the screen) and has been region modded as well all from a local canuck

hail the maplers!!!

JapanTokei · 08/21/2010, 09:45 AM

Sparky! that's an awesome Nomad! And the Gameboy printer is a great find. Reminds me of the one I found at Hardoff as well this past April, the Pichachu version. I didn't have the camera so I ended up selling it off for a tiny amount of money on Ebay...

Sparky, been trying to work through trading where possible, but I still can't pass up a good deal (Rockabilly's Duo RX

)

I'm getting close to completing the game collection I want (Down to 13 Shumps left) and some hardware and misc PC Engine games, so I may be turning my trade list into a sale list soon - we shall see.

Gameboy printer? Interesting device, is it dot matrix?

Region modded Nomad? Does that mean you can play all the Canadian titles too?

TheClash603 · 08/21/2010, 11:41 AM

Canadian Nomad titles are the best. There is a region exclusive copy of Haunting, Starring Polterguy where you must scare the maple syrup out of moose and mounties at a hockey game.

Digi.K, w should play Castlevania sometime. I am still not that great at it, but I am getting better!

BlueBMW · 08/21/2010, 11:51 AM

Picked up a little craigslist find. A working (sorta) Turbo Express for $50 with alien crush. Missing the battery cover, and needs the sound fix, but otherwise perfectly working! Here's a pic next to my semi - broken hackspress...

Hi there Clash are you kidding about this ??? where can we see the proof of that version ? I am very interested in buying that version if it is available thanks.

Mathius · 08/25/2010, 11:30 PM

Castlevania Chronicles for the PS1, and Symphony of the Night (GH). I am so glad I finally get to play this lost treasure. I will probably never own a X68000 so this is a great alternative. I just wish that more games would get released for this ultra rare Japanese computer on compilations.

I have had SOTN for a few years on XBOX Live, but the D-Pad on the 360 controller is less than adequate, so I picked up the original (which I should have done long ago). The only negative thing that I can honestly say about SOTN is in the Inverted Castle they use the same music track for most of the castle sections. I would've just settled for the same music as in the first castle instead of hearing one new song over and over again. It actually bothered me so bad that I had to walk away from the game for a few days. Which would obviously say to you that I didn't buy these games today. They are just my latest purchases.

My Ys Seven arrived earlier this week and then today my Jaguar with the CD unit and a few games showed up. I cleaned the Jag up a bit after I took the pic. What a ridiculous controller that thing came with. Almost as big as the system.

Mathius · 08/26/2010, 10:52 PM

Nice B&B! I had a Jag when I was a teenager and my fave two games for it was Tempest 2000 and Wolfenstein 3D. I never did buy (or even see) a Jag CD. Does the CD-ROM unit work? Going by the AVGN's review of the Jag there seems to be a lot of problems with them.

Does the jagcd work !? I've heard they have a bad failure rate beside being pricey.

BlackandBlue · 08/26/2010, 10:58 PM

Yeah, thankfully this one works. It wouldnt play games through the pass-thru (cartridge), but after a good cleaning it booted right up. Now to get Raiden! The only cart I have atm is Cybermorph and it is pretty much the horriblest game I've ever played. I got a pretty decent deal on it, so Im happy.

And the PSone Raiden Project, which is literally 1:1 arcade, and even contains Raiden II

but if I'm honest, the PCE raiden has the best controlls. it is smoother than the arcade one.

Yeah, I could play an emulated arcade version on a more recent console, but there is just something about seeing what our trusty 8 & 16-Bit workhorses could muster. And you just proved another victory, Tats! Raiden's controls are smoother on our beloved PCE!

God, I love this hobby.

Nice TV. Is that the one with the LEDs that glow against the wall behind it? I can't remember if the Aquos series still do that. I bought some LED strips from Ikea to get that effect.

Nectarsis: Love the Stephen Chow dude!!! btw, Dragon Dynasty does a REALLY good job on their portovers from HongKong. They don't edit them, they include the same extras the asian release has, they include original plus dubbed language. Plus they got commentary from Ben Logan who knows a shitload of tidbits about the asian film industry. I must own like 7 or 8 DDynasty releases! I HIGHLY recommend WarZone and Flashpoint if you're into the serious martial arts, no comedy all business
