The “What-Did-You-Buy-Today?” Thread

Quote from: ceti alpha on 03/07/2011, 11:45 AMPhew! You finally got than damned magnet. haha I got scared when I saw the PM from you, but I'm happy you finally received it.

For you guys that want to know about it, I got it from a store in Toronto. Just beware that I had a hell of a time getting these magnets and they got my order wrong. I originally ordered one TG magnet for Mathius, one Splatterhouse magnet for me and one Logan's Run magnet for my brother. When my stuff finally arrived, I received two TG magnets and the Logan's Run magnet, but no Splatterhouse magnet. I'm honestly happier with the TG magnet, so their screw up actually worked out in the end.

I had to contact them because the items never arrived after four weeks and the store is in Toronto, so there's absolutely no excuse for that. They responded by saying that the shipment must have gotten lost in the mail. Who knows - probably BS. My items did show up, however, shortly after I contacted them.

Here's their eBay store - Freaks 'n Geeks

It doesn't look like they're selling anything right now.

I got the same TG16 magnet from an ebay seller located in Canada and mine took 4-5 weeks to arrive.

Ceti Alpha · 03/07/2011, 12:21 PM

BTW, the Splatterhouse magnet was based off the TG artwork and had a TG logo.

It's incredibly kick@$$, I'm starting to miss my Saturn.

STARTING.

Mathius · 03/08/2011, 12:58 AM

Well Joe R. it came!

/103_0109.jpg

Reproduction cart obviously. It's fantastic but...NO BATTERY BACKUP WAS INCLUDED! Good thing I am not bitter.

Joe Redifer · 03/08/2011, 01:07 AM

Glad it came. Did he ever say it would come with battery backup? I forget if the game supports password or not.

Na he didn't say one way or another. It doesn't include password, and if I ever want to make it to the Wily Tower I am going to have to have a marathon gaming session. Or, just leave my Genesis on for a day or two. You should check out my feedback also on Sega-16.

I paid $80 for Rockman Mega World. How much was that repro?

I am going to guess $50, so why not just spring for the real thing? I use a $3 Game Genie to play it on my Genesis.

Opethian · 03/08/2011, 07:15 AM

there was a guy on sega-age selling Wiley Wars with battery backup for about $50 shipped

TRON, when you're done with Final Mission, I'll take it off your hands. I played SCAT on NES and I am curious about the changes that were made. Thanks

No way i give up s.c.a.t/final mission it took me a while to find it boxed.Though,the most difference i've heard is the jpn version of (s.c.a.t) is it's more diffcult then the u.s version.

No doubt a gem by natsume though it's weird how they only 'make harvest moon games these days.

That is the only reason I wanted that one! Afterburner II just isn't as good without a flight stick, and I have never been the biggest fan of Space Harrier. I would have gladly traded both for an arcade perfect port of Thunderblade. That's my favorite "Super-Scaler" game. Outrun is a close second.

does it also have the UBERJAMAZINGJAWESOME 60fps mode like the j version?

According to Redifer there is.

Joe Redifer · 03/08/2011, 05:32 PM

I think your feedback was good, Mathius. The price wasn't too horrible. Usually those repros go for around $50 like previously mentioned so at least you didn't pay THAT much. I have the real deal, but never really take advantage of the battery since I rarely play Mega Man games for a few stages, especially the Genesis/MD version where there is a slight delay between when you touch the d-pad and when he starts moving. I think they did that to make it easier to creep towards the edge without falling. But leaving your Genesis on for days won't hurt it. Just be sure to turn the TV and mega-stereo sound system off.

As for the Outrun 60fps mode, you have to go to the options screen, highlight Game Mode, then hold A and C and press Left or Right. You can now choose from Overseas, Japan, Overseas [smooth] and Japan [smooth]. Always choose overseas because the Japan track layout is far inferior. Unfortunately the Genesis version of Out Run is stuck with the shitty Japan layout.

Who made your repro??? I may want to upgrade one day.

I agree with the controls. They just aren't as tight in Wily Wars.

Thanks for the Outrun code. Me being the lazy guy I am probably wouldn't have looked it up for days.

I picked myself up another Turbo Express and in addition Final Soldier and something Tiger (heli shooting game) the other day. The TE is in excellent cosmetic condition with one stuck pixel and no sound. After replacing some caps, there is sound now. This will be my backup TE

Just ordered Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker for 16 bucks, & Nier for PS3 for 20 new. I've heard some good things about Nier, that it feels more like a Castlevania, compared to the recent CV Lords of Shadow, which I think is terrible.

You may be in luck. I have two SGXs now. The first one isn't as nice as this second one though. Its missing the expansion covers and doesn't have an original power supply. Works fine though. M0N0PH0NIC mentioned he was interested in it, but if he decides against it, I'll be trading / selling it here on the cheap! (ie less than $100 for sure)
