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

Next time you or anyone is in Winston, you can get your reference filled...on a Japanese cab

Sweet! Are those ordered from that guy over at the system11 shmup-forums?

[dingsbums]

If you mean with "that guy" Lordstar on shmups   - yes the shirts are from him.

[SMF]

Just got in my Fullmoondirect order. They tossed in a bunch of DVDs to go along with my Gingerdead Man Replica. Also my cousin gave me her Sega 32x add on with a bunch of games and some of her old NES games. Ill post picks of the Sega stuff when I get them. I told her if you find any more old school stuff you know where I live lol.

[Mathius]

Stay tuned for a massive MGC haul.



...my wallet is still weeping.

[Sleepy Gnome]

I saw this rather interesting 7" record on ebay and won it for the starting bid (£1.48 including postage). i dont actually have a record play to listen to it on but my buddy does so i'll take it round to his soon to listen to it. he'll think im mad lol

[esteban]

Ambassadors of Funk?

M.C. Mario?


UPDATE: I am listening to it (radio edit) and...it's not bad for a kitschy pastiche. Here's my simple test: can you listen to it several times in a row? If you can, then it isn't too horrid. 

The Singapore and Japan lyrics are particularly cringe-worthy.

Of course, some folks here would rather shoot themselves in the leg than listen to it, I reckon. But there are far worse musical atrocities out there...

[Sleepy Gnome]

oh shit i hadn't even thought of listening to it online! DUH!

i'll have a listen now...

Super Mario Land [Radio Edit]

ha ha its quite funny

[bust3dstr8]

Absolutely .


ASIDE: Cook absolutely cherishes vintage footage of Soviet cosmonauts!

[TheClash603]

Doesn't "Radio Edit" generally mean it was on the radio?  Regardless, the song was pretty catchy.

I love SML, number four on my list of favorite Mario games, and easily the one I've completed the most times.  Due to that, I enjoy hearing the soundtrack in any form, and this game did have an awesome soundtrack.

(By the way, the three games in front of SML are SMW, Mario Sunshine, and Mario 64)

This came in the mail for me on Saturday

I think you should mail me your copy of Australia before your girlfriend throws it in the trash.  You're welcome to come visit and play it anytime.

[Frank_fjs]

Some nice pick-ups nectarsis! Do yourself a favour and remove the battery from the MVS board and replace with a supercap, before it explodes and leaks.

It's on it's way to BMW's place to get all consolized up sexy like ;)

[TheClash603]

I think you should mail me your copy of Australia before your girlfriend throws it in the trash.  You're welcome to come visit and play it anytime.

If she throws Australia in the trash, she'll end up in there right next to it

You should find me the following games:
The Demon's Judgment
Back to the Edo
Dr. Paolo
Time Gal
Virtual Cameraman

Then we can work out a deal where I trade you my girlfriend for them.

[SuperDeadite]

Demon and VC1 can be had easily.  The other 3 are damn hard to find.

[TheClash603]

Demon and VC1 can be had easily.  The other 3 are damn hard to find.

Time Gal was on ebay U.S. for $800 and I missed it

Dr. Paolo appeared on ebay U.S. about 2 years ago and it sold for a little over $100.  At that time I was only getting the U.S. games so I didn't bid on it.  Little did I know I would never see it again.

[Samurai Ghost]

Yeah, I think we all have some "one that got away" stories. Would make an interesting thread actually. But you can't be lucky all of the time I guess.

I've picked up quite a few games over the past couple weeks:
