Wow, awesome hauls everyone!

In the past few weeks I managed to find a CG copy of Twilight Princess and just last week I got a copy of Mario Sunshine. My kiddos are really digging Sunshine. Twilight Princess has me totally engrossed and I am barely into the game.

it's all good, I come in with no expectations on the game. After I get done with it, I'll have to give Wind Waker a try as well. Considering waiting for the HD version of the Wii U eventually though.

Mishran · 03/26/2013, 02:50 PM

Just picked this up recently. PCB and box only, no kit contents.
/img0664oc.jpg

With the ridiculous prices for the MVS cart these days, I just bit the bullet and got this instead. Was marked as bad, but turned out to be just a loose slotted chip on the board. Not bad for $10.00.

Looks like it was barely used.

Always wanted to play it and quite like it. I noticed that the game gets alot of negative feedback over at the Neo-Geo.com forums. Does tend to suffer from issues such as with hit detection, but I can look past them.

Mathius · 03/26/2013, 04:50 PM

Finally, here is my MGC 2013 grabs.

Sorry for the low quality pic. It doesn't do these twin towers justice. Big thanks to BlueBMW for taking my fried, beige X68000 and swapping it for this lovely lady. Black is beautiful.

This mint Cotton was a $50 pickup. Thanks goes to Madgear for the great deal!

It's a repro sadly. I don't mind though as it was never released state side and I refuse to pay eBay prices. It's a really killer game though with bright colors and some sweet parallax.

Sparky, I have been spending the last two days with Android Assault (and Cotton too!). I am really digging the music!

BlueBMW · 03/26/2013, 09:58 PM

Revival Chase came today! I was a little disappointed to see that they shrinkwrapped the game though... We all know what that means..

jeffhlewis · 03/26/2013, 10:41 PM

Beemer - did you test the S-vid and FM on that Sega Master System? just wanted to make sure it survived the trip!

My MGC haul (all CIB!):

Keio 2 was the grail out of this bunch - from Carlson along with Valis IV, Pomping World and Chase HQ. The rest were either just lightgun games or stuff I found cheap during our emergency run to Gamestop.

Some cheapo Super Fami games I got late on Sunday. Guy I was buying from was selling most of them CIB, 5 for $20 along with some PCE games and loose Famicom carts. By the time I got there it was pretty much picked over.

The only game I really wanted to target specifically at MGC was Akumajo Densetsu for the Famicom - Carlson hooked me up again on this one (thanks man!). Also picked up Duck Tales, Star Soldier and everyone's favorite Huey.

$5 each at a discount store near me...
Killzone has a GH sticker on the shrink, but it's the black label version underneath.

Tell me about those joysticks for Wii. I need something for the beat-em-ups in the Data East Collection.

I mostly play Magical Drop 3 on that Data East collection.

Anyway, I have two of the Hori Wii Joysticks and they're great. I highly recommend those.

If you ever open up Killzone, you'll see my name in the credits in the manual!

It was one of 2 games that I got my name in (The other being Rainbow Six: Lockdown for the PS2). I took a crack at working in QA for a few game companies bitd, but it didn't take.

geise · 03/28/2013, 12:18 PM

Quote from: geise on 03/28/2013, 12:18 PMYou did QA for RedStorm?

Yep! Not for very long, though. I just worked on that one game and a Ghost Recon patch for one of the Xbox games. I had a longer stint with Sony and a really short stint with Vivendi (I commuted from San Diego to Los Angeles and that got old fast).

What is this DE collection you speak of?

Sparky · 03/29/2013, 02:37 AM

A few things that last couple weeks... Yes that's jenga donkey kong and I am a big fan of the game resistance

DragonmasterDan · 03/29/2013, 07:22 AM

Quote from: galam on 03/28/2013, 04:40 PMWhat is this DE collection you speak of?

It's a Wii collection with Bad Dudes, Two Crude Dudes, Burger Time, Bump N Jump, Caveman Ninja, Lock N Chase, Magical Drop 3 and a handful of others.

TheClash603 · 03/29/2013, 07:50 AM

Resistance is the best FPS of the era, hands down.

I always say how much I like this game and people react with "why?" Now that the developer is moving on from the franchise, it sadly might be done.

I saw those Wii sticks at 5Below also. Can Galam shed some light on the internal construction? Five bucks for a shell, that can be used for "real" parts could be useful. Are these Hori knock-offs?

nectaris, you need to get the PS3 MLB 13 too, it is great fun to play your RTTS at home and on the road. The home game is definitely the better of the 2 too. Amazon had buy both get $20 off if you preordered, was a great deal.
