It actually is! The guy went out and bought Computer Space. I feel somewhat responsible because when I was over there this summer we had a long talk about old arcade games over a few beers, and we were talking about getting an old cabinet to set up at his house and he was really into it. The next day we went over to an arcade game dealer nearby to check out some games, and they had a few Computer Space cabs for a few grand each. Six months later he ordered one from Canada. It's a beauty!

Ah, so it was you who got that PC Engine CD Rom player. I saw that listed for sale in Riverside, but I was too lazy to go get it. Glad somebody from here got it.

I purchased several copies of Retro Gamer in the past from local book stores. Love the mag, but nobody stocks it around my area anymore.

Does it still come packaged with a companion disc full of goodies?

I am waiting to watch that with Ash come Wednesday. We are both big fans of Studio Ghible.

stuff i got this week... The Donkey Kong Jr game and watch is pretty cool, still never any tg16 or pce finds locally <<shrugs>>

TheClash603 · 03/16/2012, 09:15 PM

I am a big fan of G&W games. I have the Donkey Kong II Multi-Screen which is essentially DK Jr.

You say you can never find PC-E games, I can never find G&W games locally.

I recently got My Neibor Totaro released by Disney, I freakin love Miyazaki! I see you've now got all 4 Jaguar game worth playing.

Mathius · 03/16/2012, 11:15 PM

That's a good one! My favorite is Spirited Away.

I freakin' love Flashback but the Genesis version is the best one I've played at this point. The Jag version has some musical hiccups that are annoying.

Bernie · 03/17/2012, 03:37 PM

Everything is in MINT condition.

Joe Redifer · 03/17/2012, 06:01 PM

Awesome! Not long ago we were talking about that box variation. Now it looks like they just plastered it over the original box artwork. The rad 80's kid is still there, hiding underneath!

This beauty just arrived in the mail yesterday, thanks to Samurai Ghost. I'm actually using the pic that he sent me (hope you don't mind, bro), but you get the idea. Haven't gotten much play time with it though.

Samurai Ghost · 03/18/2012, 10:41 AM

Glad you got the system OK, and glad to share the PCE love! Now you can walk around town in a black suit and sunglasses, handcuffed to your PCE briefcase at all times in case of an emergency.

What that is is the image has faded/warped some. Looks almost like the ink on the sticker has kinda bled out a little, kinda like an old tattoo that hasnt been taken care of. Strange thing is, that the sticker is in pretty good shape, its just the area of the KC that has the bleeding. Maybe at some point it got sprayed with water or something?

Mishran · 03/20/2012, 03:23 PM

I'm actually talking about the hucard on the box. Actually shows a picture like on the manual instead of the name on a blue background, which is what we actually have.

He had it posted in the n64 section for some weird reason. Not only that, but I got up 4:00 a.m this morning just to make sure no one sniped it.

It's arcade perfect from what I understand. I have no point of reference though.

Who knows? Maybe (most likely) you'll find a copy in a few days.
