That plays SNES and regular NES cartrigdes on the go. Also plays genesis games with a seperate adapter. It can also be hooked up to a TV with two players action. Can't test it now as games are at home. Will test once I get home.

[Samurai Ghost]

Not game related but I picked up this awesome car last night. A Mini Cooper S Works with all the options on it. It's got the Cooper Works engine and exhaust kit for tons of extra horsepower and is so fun to drive!!

[Tatsujin]

Alright guys, excuse the pic-heavy bump.  Here's everything I've acquired within the last several weeks.  


$40 Craigslist find


$10 from a friend


$15 at a thrift store


















$2 at a thrift store






All but Taito Legends II was free! :3

I have but one more major acquisition to achieve & then I'm gonna slow down on collecting for awhile & focus on real-world responsibilities and stuff.

[turbokon]

Nice samuira

Venom, why can't find anything like that at a thrift store:(

[turbokon]

Here is a couple of pics of the RetroDuo in action:)

That's pretty sweet.  I have a RetroDuo hooked up in my living room and love it. This looks way cool.  How does the NES sound?  I know some people have had sound issues with the console version.

[turbokon]

Cool, this also can be hooked to a tv and comes with two controllers. It can also plays genesis with an adapter. Soundwise is pretty good to me except it's to low.

[Opethian]

I am excite

[Mathius]

Naughty naughty Ope! 

[TheClash603]

I am excite

How come I was the first guy around here collecting for the Laseractive and I'm the last guy to get anything!  Boo!!!

I'll trade you some Atari Jaguar games for that.

[Opethian]

get me dat Vajra Deuce!

[FiftyQuid]

Here is a couple of pics of the RetroDuo in action:)

I am sooooo buying one of those!

[VenomMacbeth]

As if the NES carts weren't cumbersome enough already.  The RetroDuo is cool as a handheld SNES but that NES setup is ridiculous. 

/still waiting on a decent handheld famiclone.

Bought a couple of flyers over @ the System 11 Shmups boards.

[SuperPlay]

Hi Ji-L87

Just out of interest what was the average price for a flyer?

Ta

[Ji-L87]

Just out of interest what was the average price for a flyer?

That really depends on what game you're looking at. A lot of them were like 5$ or 10$ but more expensive ones like 45$ were also listed.
But he's shipping out from Japan and the shipping will be a bit pricey.
The thread is here if you want to look for yourself : )

The single most expensive one I got was Game Tengoku for 12$. Tho' all the Aero Dancing (or Aerowings, depending on region) ones were 24$ in total.

how are the buttons and d-pad on that sucker?

[turbokon]

Kinda of big and clicky much like the supaboy but you get use to it.

How do you like the NG Dev games so far?

[Terminarcade]

Im also really diggin Gunlord right now.

[PikachuWarrior]

how's akai katana? i plan on getting it eventually, after september rolls around as I have a few games that are coming out first.

[Deletion]

How do you like the NG Dev games so far?

I played them for a little bit last night. All three are difficult but fun. On my first play-through of Last Hope (horizontal shmup) I barely did anything as I kept on dying. The graphics were not that impressive, but keep in mind I saw only the first bit of the first level . Fast Striker is a very-good looking vertical shmup and I made it through 3 stages on the first try. I can see myself playing this one a lot. Gunlord is a run & gun that plays just like Turrican. The controls are really good but there is so much going on. There's also no save or password feature so I doubt I will ever be able to finish this game.

[Deletion]

Akai Katana is very similar to Deathsmiles, another beautiful, frenetic, bullet-hell shooter from Cave. I like the feature of being able to change forms from the default fighter plane to a "Phantom," which is a large human form that has a stronger attack and the ability to repel bullets. The visuals, music, and controls are all good and it's just plain fun.

[Duo_R]

$10 find on local craigslist, nothing amazing here but I would have paid that much for the controllers and AC adapter.

/img5162fh.jpg

[roflmao]

Awesome find for $10, Duo_R.

[FiftyQuid]

Very awesome find.  I've been looking for a Genesis for 3 months now without any luck.  That and Eternal Champions.  Then you walk in here with both for < $10.  This thread can be so disheartening sometimes.

[Nando]

This thread can be so disheartening sometimes.

No kidding.
Great find for sure. Oh and I loved that Taz game "back in the proverbial day" never did kill that F%ing bird though.

[Duo_R]

I feel your pain bro, I have seen tons of deals on here too. This is honestly not like most craiglist posts in my area, usually they want like $40 for a system, and four games, two of those being EA sports game from the early 90's. I saw this and was like O_o  the actual posting was just for games and controllers. When I call the guy he tells me over the phone he will throw in a Sega Genesis. He said it doesn't work, but somehow he knew I had a heart for broken systems.... =)

Hopefully it is a simple fix since it looks like it is in good condition.

Only reason I would get into the 360 would be all the awesome chooters.

If you get a 360 for the purpose of playing chooters it should come with a card saying "You Choo Choo Choose me".

Good one, Dan

Nando, the 360 can also play shooters from Japan and Europe (PAL) if they're region free. I have Espgaluda II and Mushihimesama Futari Ver 1.5 and both play fine on a North American 360. The next imports on my wish list are Muchi Muchi Pork! & Pink Sweets and DoDonPachi Resurrection.

Well thats tight. I'm curious about deathsmiles and that other title.

MS funded Cave and othe jp studios well. I wish sony would have stepped up.

Agreed but the rumor was development cost and sony not wanting shoot'em ups.

I picked up a white speedy to keep my other speedy company.  now they are complete  

The white speedy turned out to be a pretty good find.  I got it from a guy from the UK on Ebay. 

/omega%20speedy.JPG

also picked up a few games recently on my japan trip attending my buddie's wedding this week.  will post those when i get back to Singapore.

[meka]

Anyone picked up Gunlord for the MVS, AES or Dreamcast? Got the Dreamcast version and its an excellent game. Better than most Dreamcast games.

Nice, can you send me one:)

[Samurai Ghost]

Picked up a Bally Astrocade and a couple SMS games. Unfortunately the Astrocade has some kind of input issues, so I'll probably just throw it back on eBay once I can find another one.

[PikachuWarrior]

Nice watches! I don't do watches, and if I do, they are simply sports types with elastic bands and waterproof.

In other news, I preordered Mugen Souls Limited Edition + Figure Set off of NISA's website for $99. Comes out September 18th! Another game for my sealed collection~
