Damn you have sk8board sponsors?

Corredor X · 03/19/2013, 08:13 PM

Just got a PCE CD-ROM² drive from Keith Courage (thanks again, man!) and so I completed my IFU setup. Tested it with Snatcher and I almost cried when I saw it in action, it's a childhood dream to see that working on a real hardware, since when I read about it in a magazine back in 1992. And Keith does an excellent job with the drives, the thing reads discs faster and better than a PS3!

Nec.Game.head · 03/19/2013, 10:02 PM

Yes sir Tasujin I do have skateboard sponsors. I ride for a skateboard company called Sensitive and a skate shop called 3043 Ride Shop. I also am part of a skateboard family web site called Bloody Nose Ballerina.com I also teach private skateboarding lesson's through a company called Go Skate.com. Ive been riding since I was 6 years old and have had sponsors and people supporting my skateboarding since I was a teenager. My board sponsor thought it would be cool to make me some decks with gaming art work since their well aware of my obsession with old school retro gaming and collecting. They just need me to submit some art work to their art work guy so that they can figure out how they are going to go about making the board graphics cost effective. The less amount of colors needed the cheaper the heat transfers will cost to have printed. I didn't really want to bring it up until it was in full swing. I wouldn't want to jinx it before it becomes a full reality. I recently chatted with Galam about some old skateboarders from the 90's that he thought I might have known and after rapping out about that I brought up what I was working on so he sent me that art work for some creative ideas for my project.

Don't you h8 that? A world without all the cool pop-speak would be gr8.

Ohh well, I won't get too upset over this, will probably just go calm myself with a game of Boxy Boy, nothing is better than pushing a cr8.

Ohh, and to remain relevant, I bought Sunset Riders for Genny yesterday.

NICE!!! I wish I could find some Neo Stuff in the wild. I once found a loose Magician Lord Cart and it was $99, ehh. Soccer Brawl is a shitty game but I'd collect it just to have it.

Yesterday I got the following.

Atari Flashback 2 for $5. Great little console with real Atari hardware in it and quality joysticks. It has A/V out and 40 games in it. It will keep me busy for a while.

SNES Aladdin. Doesn't work, can't get it on

Was $3 IDK what to do.

Game Boy Chase H.Q. Terrible game the PCE version is vastly superior.
Game Boy Paper Boy, arcade perfection!!!!

Atari VCS Towering Inferno, it was FREE!
Colecovision Zaxxon!!!!!!!

I've had this bookmarked forever and hope one day to make this mod to my Flashback 2 to allow it to play regular carts:

Spent waaaaay too much money at MGC, but came home with some goodies:

Finally picked up Radiant Silvergun and Granzort completes my non Darius related SGX set. RAU-30 for kicks, Slug X for when friends come over, a black GCN for nostalgia, and some GB players for playing Advance Wars on the BIG screen haha.

/MGC2013_1_zpse73a92f4.jpg

I finally took the plunge and picked up an AES. I knew it was modded for svideo and component, just found out it also had a unibios installed. Sweet! Picked up Riding Hero since I have no other AES games yet. Had to have something to plug into the thing...

/MGC2013_2_zpse0403d97.jpg

After seeing it last year and doing a lot of hemming and hawwing, I decided to grab this stupid little thing. Completely useless really, and I hear that there are really no Sharp X1 games worth a crap, but its cool hardware. Got my Master System back from Jeff Lewis, modded for svideo and FM sound

I picked up quite a few things at MGC. A stack of Famicom games, a blue Game Gear primarily for the battery covers. Castlevania Legends for Game Boy. And one other odd item that I decided to make a demonstration video of.

PunkCryborg · 03/25/2013, 10:34 PM

See, it's a good thing I wasn't able to make it this year. I *love* arcade Cadash and had I seen that, I would have followed bartre's footsteps and built a supergun just to play it. Considering the current rat's nest I have in the living room, I cannot imagine that going over well with my better half.
