That would be cool

Quote from: Samurai Ghost on 04/14/2012, 12:05 AMNice boxed pickups!

I honestly didn't know the Mega Drive had SCART output without requiring mod! As a long time Mega Drive fan that's big news to me. Kind of a moot point for me personally, because I don't have a SCART capable TV at the moment, but I'd be interested in seeing a comparison between the Wondermega S-Video and the Model 1 RGB output. I'm sure the RGB would be a bit sharper, but practically speaking I don't see how it could that much better than the S-Video I'm getting now, which is just so bright and crisp. But the real deal breaker is the better audio and built in Mega-CD functions, plus the look of the system. Best looking console ever made in my opinion!

You're in Japan right? Getting an RGB TV here is extremely easy. PM me if you want details.

Thanks Samurai Ghost :@)
Is that a surfing game for the PC Engine ?

It's a catalog of all the PCE games (PC Engine Hyper Catalog, Volume 6A and 6B) plus demos (Neo Nectaris was featured, for example...). Several companies released CD-ROM databases + mixed media entertainment like this (Ultrabox from Victor Musical)...

I wanted to write a "History of Console Game Demos" to determine if the PCE was the first console to offer demos. I never got anywhere. For all I know, the Nintendo FDS had demos!

so nice henler

congrats. still need that lil stinker to complete my commercial released Huey collection

henrycsc · 04/15/2012, 11:40 PM

Thanks guys
I didn't know that the manual for Artist Tool was too big to fit the jewel case (not too thick - too big - it's the same width as the outside of the jewel case). It's a very strange goof, and the only huey like that. Funny that it was the last one I got.

SuperDeadite · 04/15/2012, 11:43 PM

A few goodies.

Nope, no US titles use the mouse (nor does PCE Loom).

Starfighter · 04/16/2012, 05:32 PM

That looks absolutely stunning henry! Even though I am a gamer and not a collector (I know I can be both, but I'm not) I still feel very impressed and a bit jealous when I see photos like these.

VenomMacbeth · 04/16/2012, 05:38 PM

Some things I've acquired recently:

Also rescued this thing a few days ago:

NecroPhile · 04/16/2012, 05:49 PM

Very nice family photo, Henry. I spy a couple Forgotten Worlds bundle boxes and a Idol Hanafuda Club, but what are the other boxed goodies?

Awww, nice kitteh. MacBeth's TurbobKarma is increased by ten fold.

henrycsc · 04/16/2012, 07:18 PM

Hucards with special packaging (SF2 & Populous had double cases, Circus Lido had Dust Sleeve, Hanafuda had Clamshell, and Artist Tool had oversized manual
I put Artist Tool between the other cases so you can see how big it is.

/p4164881.jpg

The boxes are Forgotten Worlds (Avenue 3 Pad thanks JapanTokei) 3x3 Eyes (VHS Thanks Tolvatar), Mahjong Gakuen (VHS), Pachio-Kun Maboroshi No Densetsu (Power Handle Controller), Sankokushi Eiketsu (Leatherbound Art Book thanks JapanTokei)

And what's inside those boxes
/p4164884.jpg

Ope, the CD Games take up most of the room in that pic LOL. Not too many more that I'm willing to pay the money for, but I'm still open to "happy accidents" and Beamer getting rid of Uberstinkts

Thanks Starfighter - the gaming turned into a lucky break which turned into an obsession. For the sake of your wallet, I hope you don't get it too.....

SuperDeadite, I'm drooling over your new cyberstick/xhe-3 setup! Very cool find/configuration

Nando · 04/17/2012, 01:01 AM

Seriously though, that's just beyond cool. I'm no collector but thank you for taking care of all this stuff. My memories attached to some of these games are priceless and it's just awesome to see them again.

Traded away Street Fighter X Tekken
(although a beautifully looking game, just got sick of the juggling combos from all the Tekken characters, not to mention the dreaded sound glitch when u fight online)

for Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning (to fill my rpg itch after i'm done Xenogears

)

Bernie · 04/18/2012, 03:48 PM

Got this in today.

ooOOOoooo.

roflmao · 04/18/2012, 04:52 PM

Erp. Sorry for posting twice in a row. These just recently came in:

Image Fight is a lot harder that YouTube makes it look. Wow... Also, it arrived in only 8 days, from Japan! Thanks again, Hit-Japan.

The other two were picked up at a local used book-and-stuff store, "2nd and Charles". I've never tried either but for $9 for the two, I figured it was worth the risk.

Looks like Sol Divide sold in the Dollar Stores and Big Lots for something like $1. It's part horizontal shooter, team beat-em-up, and RPG. I hear it's pretty short. I've only played it for like 20 minutes, but I think it's pretty fun.

I've never played Crystal Chronicles and know some folks that love it and some that hate it. I've been recently playing another Gamecube game, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, so have been wanting to pick up another console exclusive title. This fit the bill. Maybe I'll have to get another GBA SP and a couple link cables so my son and I can play co-op. In a couple of years.

Bernie · 04/18/2012, 05:02 PM

FF Chronicles is excellent!! You will like it.

SMF · 04/18/2012, 05:35 PM

Yes FF is an awesome game.

On a side note I love how the price tags on it say $39.99 then on the other it says $6.00 and retails for $19.99 lol. Gotta love stickers lol.

Samurai Ghost · 04/18/2012, 05:47 PM

Moving in less than a week but a few last purchases are trickling in.
Still have a couple things on the way (including a Supergrafx, finally), but happy to get a complete Terraforming!
Also a sealed The Lost Sunheart (now unsealed).

NOt sure if its a Wii box, but its a CD Sonic game. I cant play it right now, since the CD unit I have is not working....Sooo, with that said, if you want to check it out, PM me your info. I will mail it out to you.

not quite the purchases of one day but this is pretty much my pickups from the last 6 weeks.
Man I cant get over how much i love my DUO-R

Samurai Ghost · 04/19/2012, 04:54 AM

Happy to hear that! That DUO-R needed a good home, but...

Take good care of my baby!

As for me this just came in the mail:

/sgx.jpg

Finally a Supergrafx!!

Once I get the extension on my house built I might have enough room to hook this thing up to the Super CD and vacuum into the sunset

Anyone have a copy of 1941 Counter Attack up for trade by the way?

henrycsc · 04/19/2012, 06:13 AM

Congrats Samurai Ghost. You almost need a house addition to fit the vacuum configuration.

The last copy of 1941 I saw for reasonable was in a full SGX lot. That might be your best bet. Lots of people looking for that one, so good luck with the hunt.

SuperDeadite · 04/19/2012, 10:15 AM

No offense, but those Rockman boots should NOT exist. Burn those fucking things to ashes.

Yeah, those things are jive.

Bernie: I put composite/audio/svideo jacks on the back of a model 1 Genny exactly where those are, then noticed that my power base converter no longer fit on there. I was miffed, so I moved them. Now the thing has 4 pointless holes on the back =(. That one looks to be in great condition btw.

roflmao · 04/19/2012, 03:25 PM

I picked these up this morning:

Populous looked pretty gross, but it was $1, and now it's clean as a whistle!

Alleyway's pretty fun. I can see it being a good travel game.

They threw in the bottle opener for free.
