The “What-Did-You-Buy-Today?” Thread

Quote from: SNKNostalgia on 06/10/2011, 04:30 AMSo this means you will be playing CD-Rom2 games instead of HuCards only? Lol, I remember you telling me you were interested in HuCard games only and me being confused as to why.

Well I've always had a duo, and have a ton of CD-ROM2 games. I just said that out of the few games that are available in both formats, I prefer to have the Hucard version. I kinda dislike optical media in general due to how fragile it is, but it's necessary if you want to play some of the best games on the PC Engine. I know my Hucards will probably still work in 50 years, but I worry about my CDs.

Everyone has lost a CD at one time or another due to a random scratch. Even without scratches, longevity is not assured. Case in point: I have two copies of Cosmic Fantasy 1, and both have laser rot. It's rare on CDs, but does happen. Not to mention the actual CD drives themselves.... Anyway, there's no sense worrying about it.

Not gaming related, but I picked up some sealed Ninja Turtles action figures for a buck or two each at an estate sale yesterday. Never knew they made trekkie turtles

Mathius · 06/10/2011, 07:28 PM

Wow neither did I!

nectarsis · 06/10/2011, 07:29 PM

Ha ha classic Nectarsis! Archy always reminds me of my dad.

PunkCryborg · 06/10/2011, 08:48 PM

Awesome Chany I still have the Donatello Dracula. I will never get rid of my Ninja Turtles!

chany60126 · 06/11/2011, 12:23 AM

Haha! Same here. I still have a toychest filled with ninja turtles toys. The monster edition of the turtles are very cool, they also glow in the dark.

Is Dean still selling games? I don't see any listed on his website.

Got a Towns II Fresh.

Tatsujin · 06/12/2011, 12:23 PM

love your fresh, and your so ever blurry pics

grahf · 06/15/2011, 09:47 AM

I came across one of the ASCII sticks the other day for ￥200 (about $2.50!). It's basically the equivalent of the NES Advantage, which was also an ASCII stick. It's an OK joystick, but I think I'll mod it with a Sanwa stick.

It works OK, but even joysticks aren't safe from the dreaded "bad capacitor plague"! It acts super funky when it's cold. The turbo fire takes a second to start... turboing when you press the button. And weirdest of all, the UP direction doesn't work unless you press the II button first! If you hold the II button in for a second, UP will work for about 5 seconds. After it warms up for a few minutes everything works perfectly, which tells me that the caps are dry.

thesteve · 06/15/2011, 12:12 PM

my pcfx finely arrived monday.
I bought this non working pcfx ages ago and just got it.
got it running last nite

Joe Redifer · 06/15/2011, 01:17 PM

Is that stick made by ASCII? Is the NES advantage also made by ASCII? I know Camerica made a knock-off.

Mathius · 06/15/2011, 09:44 PM

A solid haul which includes my first ever Super Grafx game!

Yeah! Can you believe that I waited this long to get Dragon's Curse? I have almost beaten the damn thing and I just got it! That only happens with the very best of games. I usually switch off from game to game throughout the day. Not this one.

Yep, he is still selling. I guess just send him some sort of request with what you are looking for.

BlueBMW · 06/16/2011, 11:12 PM

Ok, this month's been a bit unusual... I've got a ton of stuff in. Its seemed like every day something new shows up lol. I'll just post links to pics since I dont want to flood the thread and kill bandwidth

A pile of Genny games, a few Turbobs, a pair of some neat looking animeish DVDs, and finally an Earthbound for snes lol.

Nice Bemby!! I need more Japanese Saturn games! All I have is Sexy Parodius. Also, what did you give for Border Down?

BlueBMW · 06/17/2011, 12:27 AM

All the JPN saturn stuff.. the xeye, wonderswan and border down came from oldschoolgamer. It was a cash / trade deal so its hard to say exactly what I paid for border down. Though I know that during negotiations that Border down wasn't considered cheap.

Edited for mistypes (stupid phone!)

I bet! I'd love to get my hands on a copy plus get a Japanese Dreamcast someday. BTW- I have that same exact Saturn pad and it is nearly the best controller on the face of the earth!

Yeah, this one has an ASCII logo behind the stick ball. It's my understanding that ASCII made the Advantage, but I never verified it myself. ACSII's logo is right on the front of the Super Advantage though.

alexsduo · 06/17/2011, 12:45 PM

I found a Hudson 5 tap adapter for Snes... It is probably the closest thing to TG that I have found whilst thrifting!

Anyone ever find cool TG stuff at thrift/garage sales?

I hit up a thrift store/flea market/garage sale at least once a day for the past couple of years and I've found 2 TG-16's, one TV Sports Football and World Court Tennis

blueraven · 06/17/2011, 11:48 PM

PS1 SCPH-1200 last week for $4. I really needed a controller.

geise · 06/18/2011, 02:22 PM

bunch of clothes from Express Men. Needed some more shirts and pants for work. Kinda sad it's been over a year since I've done any clothes shopping for myself. Now since I have new threads I can get back to buying games again haha.

DragonmasterDan · 06/18/2011, 11:00 PM

Today I got this after about an hour of driving each way.

TR0N · 06/19/2011, 04:17 AM

Also know as kabuki quantum fighter.

PunkCryborg · 06/19/2011, 11:37 AM

Kabuki Quantum fighter is very fun and challenging, it is one of my favorite NES games. At the end it leaves you hanging with a "see you soon in the next episode" or something but sadly there was never a sequel. Nice Votoms score too, I haven't watched that in years

RR1980 · 06/19/2011, 11:43 AM

nice! I was just thinking about that Kabuki game when I was playing the ACD Strider the other day cause the weapon in that kabuki game is kinda similar to the weapon in strider

PunkCryborg · 06/19/2011, 12:08 PM

sorry for the bad cell phone pics..
Game store was closing so everything was 50% off and couldn't let these get in the hands of the bad guys. They were on the phone with a reseller so I nabbed what I could.

That's because buying US stuff from the US has gotten prohibitively expensive.... case in point:
