Gimmick! is really good. Haven't gotten time to play the JP exclusive Adventure Island IV yet, but I am excited to! The other stuff was thrown in as a gift. I love Japanese sellers.

You lucky sob

Gimmick for the famcom/nes is a rare one to find cib,that's one sunsoft title that has evaded me for the longest time.

TheClash603 · 03/19/2011, 02:17 AM

Neither Adventure Island or Gimmick! were too cheap, but it was my tax return indulgence. Both great games.

Mathius · 03/19/2011, 02:29 AM

So, what makes Gimmick! so great?

supposedly Gimmick! had an extra chip in the game cart for extra special sound effects? and probably because it's one of the games towards the Famicom's life so the print run was probably small too

Like i said about gimmick very rare nes/famicom title it doesn't matter,if it's the jpn or pal version either will cost ya.

It was one of the few games that realy pushed the nes to it's limit graphics wise.

TheClash603 · 03/20/2011, 03:32 PM

It plays really well too. I like how the graphics take some of the best stuff from Mario 3 and Kirby, which is a good idea since they are 2 of the most classic Famicom games.

Why no love for Adventure Island IV? Master Higgins is horribly underrated in the 8-bit, fake 16-bit, and 16-bit eras.

I have the Adventure Island IV repro which has been translated. It's not a bad game, but Uforia and Metroid had better gameplay.

What was wrong with your Twin Fami??? Just belt issues I am assuming?

I wish someone would take a shot at fixing my Twin Fami (we have the same color scheme, Ope). Needs the tension spring replaced and recalibrated. Zeta has offered to replace the whole drive, but I would have to buy another FDS.

That really is the only gripe in that game. Fortunately, you get a slight warning from your Dreamcast because you always here it spin up the disc right before you are about to battle. Sometimes you can quick hit the menu screen beforehand if you need to.

If you manage to track down the Game Cube port it has a slightly lower encounter rate.

Unfortunately it also has terrible compression on some of the music. The music is part of what makes this game!

Also Mathius if you want the downloadable content for SoA I've got them and can put them on a VMU if desired.

I say Sega should release this game for DC collections. Seriously though, 2 games you can already download on XBLA and Bass Fishing with a dated dance game???? Come on Sega! Shit's weak!

I would really like to see more games like Shenmue, Dynamite Deka 2, Jet Radio games, Sonic Adventure 2, Phantasy Star Online Revived, etc...

Outrun 3D is one of the best buys on here in a long while. Is that the Japanese or Brazillian? I know the Brazillian was just on ebay, and I don't recall what mine looks like.

Its not much... a few extra weapons, an extra island to explore, and an extra big boss to fight. But hey, extra is extra!

Sadly NOTHING from MGC (except some stuff nabbed off of Craigslist while in the Milwaukee area). Some sweetness waiting when I got home (and the TG from BMW came right before I left..all region, & AV modded

)

Got a BIG haul from the MGC!

Despite people warning me of Mad-Gear's high prices... when you negotiate in bulk and explain to him how evil gouging is and how overcharging on tg/pce stuff is a 1st class ticket to hell... his prices got way better

So in the end I did pretty good on all of it!

Excellent batch of games there! Down Load 2 has great tunes (even the title screen). Rabio Lepus is quirky but I dig it. It is "underappreciated", in my book. I won't say anything about Neo Nectaris, or the others, but you have some quality fun ahead.

Mathius · 03/28/2011, 12:41 AM

Great haul Blue! I think MadGear "took" to us Turbo guys, and he told me he is seriously considering attending the Chicago based Turbofest Chany is putting on in July just to chill with us.

Woo-Hoo! Score for PCFX!
