Indeed. i live out of state. She knows im a big gamer, so i usually just give her a list of things, or she just ask my brother or girlfriend if there is a game i want.

Opethian · 12/21/2012, 06:48 PM

stocking stuffers heh

SuperDeadite · 12/21/2012, 07:28 PM

TheClash603 · 12/21/2012, 08:58 PM

I just got done playing it a few hours ago. I really enjoy it so far. The mechanics make it very unique. I havent played a shmup like it before. You really depend on your option in this game, and there are many frantic moments where you want to shoot but you know you shouldn't because u have to charge up your option.

Also finding an option that you like is a lot of fun. On some stages i like the canon, and on other stages i like the rocket. So that makes the game play varied. Then there is the whole aiming mechanic that really makes you pay attention to how you are moving and shooting

I would film a few videos of you nonchalantly using that keyboard/surfboard with standard games. Don't crack a joke, play it straight.

Joe Redifer · 12/22/2012, 07:24 PM

Ha ha yeah that's what I would do.

Mishran · 12/24/2012, 03:32 PM

Found a Mysterious Song and bonus disc in the mailbox this morning! Just in time for Christmas. Thanks guys for this great game.

Also picked me up a copy of Oblivion GOTY for 360 last night since my current Netbook isn't powerful enough to play my PC copy. I've missed that damn game.

Happy holidays everyone!

This isn't the one NecroPhile is raffling off. I paid for this one.

Not gaming related, but I picked up some goodies at a Japanese mart in my area:

Pictured below are the turbo games I received for Secret Santa and 2 NES games I bought at a local retro shop that I really wanted.

Arkhan Asylum · 12/26/2012, 01:08 PM

Unseal the shit out of that Sonic Spike. I was pretty excited to find that. I almost ripped it open myself to smell the 1990s smell.

esteban · 12/26/2012, 01:08 PM

I must have Cadillacs & Dinosaurs (Sega CD)...but I just looked for it. I guess it's still packed away somewhere.

I always thought that was a kool cover (like old sci fi mags).

chany60126 · 12/26/2012, 01:09 PM

Nice haul nect! Now you can practice your skills for the next Sonic Spike World Championship. ;)

Quote from: munchiaz on 12/15/2012, 12:27 PMJust got back from my trip to California. Visited Disney Land, SeaWorld, and Universal Studios. Had a Blast with the girlfriend. I also went to a few game shops in Anaheim and San Diego. Very disappointed in the turbo selection at these stores. Each Store had about 6 games. All common, and most loose, and over priced. But Here is what i managed to pick up during my vacation

I understand your disappointment, but this is the way it's always been on the TG secondary market.

It's too bad that you didn't know about these two stores that I just discovered earlier today in the Los Angeles/San Diego area.

tggodfrey · 12/27/2012, 07:02 AM

Few mags I picked up cheap on ebay (20.00 for all). Secret santa gifts, and a DH I managed to get my hands on.

Ultra mega hauly shore combo!!!!!!!!

SuperDeadite · 12/28/2012, 03:43 AM

Now get a trackball and 24khz monitor and play Marble Madness in style!
Oh and little known secret about Marchen Maze, it has two soundtracks, FM, and pure PCM.
If you boot the game the normal way you get the FM, if you swap the disks (A in 1 B in 0) it will boot up with the slightly experimental PCM soundtrack (there's a text file explaining this on disk, the music guy was just fucking around lol)

VenomMacbeth · 12/28/2012, 04:59 AM

Oh man I want an X68000 so bad...

TheClash603 · 12/28/2012, 07:46 AM

Beamer is the man, that lot is awesome.

Going down the list I was going to say "game X and Y and Z are awesome," but by the time I got to the bottom of the pictures there were so many great games I forgot the list.

Ane-San can be kind of tough at first, but its easily worth a play through or two.

VestCunt · 12/28/2012, 02:19 PM

I love Space Invaders and the ACD exclusives are always nice.

TheClash603 · 12/29/2012, 02:21 PM

Gain Ground is a lot of fun too. Good lot for sure.

chany60126 · 12/29/2012, 03:05 PM

That's quite a haul BMW. That XPD controller looks pretty cool with the 2 D-pads. It kind of reminds me of the Virtual Boy. Can you play games left handed with that pad?

Bernie · 12/29/2012, 03:05 PM

I'm really not sure... apparently some games are set up to use it as a double d pad controller. I'll have to check it out.

SuperDeadite · 12/29/2012, 07:21 PM

The dual D-pad controller came with Little Rabble which requires it. It is also supported by Crazy Climber I and II. That's it AFAIK.
