I picked up a few things the other day. Ill post pics when I get home.

A Turbo Express in box for $120 only 1 pixle out top rite corner of the screen.
Nintendo Power number 2 Simon holding Draculas Head. Always loved that cover.
Grabbed a Tiger Road for $9.00 only Book and Huey but I have Sparky Stickies so its all good.

nice steal on the TE! I saw that. At first I thought it was too much for that. Apparently not considering how fast you grabbed it.

I guess a noob like me will learn his lessons. Next time i see it for that price, I will buy it.

I was kinda surprised it didn't have any major problems. He said a pixel out I thought middle of the screen when I seen it was top right I wet myself lol.

nice haul dingsbums, that Power Strike II was not a USA release was it?

[dingsbums]

No it was a "PAL only" release and the only Compile game without a Japan release.
I got it on the cheap on Ebay because the lady who sold it had no clue and simply advertised it as "Master System 2 with 5 games"  .

It was, but only as a "mail-away" exclusive with blue box art.

Anyway, got this today:



Too bad my Xbox controller is starting to mess up...the left joystick wants to stick to the left just a little which makes this game really difficult to play.

I believe you are thinking of the first Power Strike on the Master System. I was with a fellow forum member when he bought Power Strike I at a game store. At first I thought the cover was photocopied, but then I looked closer and it was all blue.

Crap, you're right.  My mistake. >.<

I love Raiden IV is that the US one? the sound track is excellent!

[VenomMacbeth]

Yup, it's the US release.  It's not my favorite Raiden game, but it is pretty awesome.

[geise]

I really like Raiden IV.  It's a lot better than III.  I was sort of let down from 3, since 2 and the Fighters series were so good.

Cool stuff came in the mail today! Some stuff from HIT (best offered everything!) and some from a cool guy on Sega 16

[Mathius]

Hmm I'll take Alisia Dragoon, Shinobi, Download 2 and the Saturn controller. Sending PM and thank in advance!

Picked this up as it was going cheap, has fresh caps and you don't often see the yellow ones around:

Wow! I've never seen a yellow one before!

[Samurai Ghost]

I picked up a yellow one a while ago, crazy looking system! Yours is a in a lot better shape though. The screen is pretty faded/washed out on mine. Would new caps help with this?

[TheClash603]

Wow, I never knew a yellow system existed either.

Went to the flea market today, and my only gaming purchase was SMS Psycho Fox.  Figure I'd mention it, keeping with the Sega theme.

Nice, that game and Golden Axe Warrior are at the top of my SMS want list.

Nice! Psycho Fox is a great game for the SMS and pretty expensive these days. Still have my copy from back in the day. Remember beating clearing that one and all the frustration that came with it. Still a favorite of mine though!

They had a copy at last year's MGC.

Edit: Psycho Fox that is. I think the vendor wanted $30.

[TheClash603]

Golden Axe warrior is the less polished and harder Zelda, but it is definitely a great game.

Psycho Fox hasn't been popped into my SMS yet.  However, if it is really "rare," then this guy is giving it away.  I only paid $10 for my copy.

i think they all look that way, i have a had a few regular black ones and they all seem weak.
If anyone has a bad screen with scuffs and or light scratches use car detailing polish, its amazing how well it works on it, the same with Nomads.

[HercTNT]

Samurai, the washed out screen is most likely a cap problem. Even with a recap though it does not improve much. doing a led mod to replace the backlight will also help, but at the end of the day the game gears screen is just naturally washed.

Clash, i second golden axe warrior. What a great game.

Not sure how "rare" it is but $10 is good deal, I'd say.

When I go to Saint Louis there's a store that has it for about the same price. That's a tad more than I've been wanting to pay for it, but I may break down and eventually pick it up the next time I'm there. I'm still hunting for Golden Axe Warrior.

[Samurai Ghost]

Baseball Stars 2, what an awesome game!!

[Frank_fjs]

Won it on the cheap from YHJ.

[Mathius]

What is that??? Dreamcast karaoke?

[Frank_fjs]

Yeah, Dreamcast Karaoke. Looks awesome when docked to the console.

[TheClash603]

I broke down and got this last Wednesday, even though I said I wouldn't...

/psvitapic.jpg

So far I think it is so-so.  I definitely enjoyed my 3DS a lot more at launch.  Hopefully this thing doesn't gather too much dust, like my PSP did compared to my DS.

Finally joined the big boy club!

/imag0004ga.jpg /imag0005b.jpg

Wife bought it for me for an early birthday present. Paid $400 for everything. Third game down is NAM1975.
Not really sure of whether it was a good deal or not, but I'm excited! Been playing the hell out of Metal Slug. Looks like a converted cab. Can anyone confirm for me?

[Frank_fjs]

Nice Neo cab!

Doesn't look like an original to me, but as long as it works who cares.

[BlueBMW]

Looks exactly like my conversion neo cab.  Looks great!  Ive got about $200 in my cab but thats only with one game and I had to do a lot of refurb work on it.  Looks like fun!!!
