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.
We are so going to hug!
i thought 1 was awesome, 2 kinda lost me, and i have yet to try 3.
what did you guys think of killzone?

I think you need to stop asking about Killzone and you need to pick up Resistance 3, which can be found on the cheap now.

Picked up this 26" NEC TV from a small thrift shop for $10. It was untested and the power cord was completely cut off. Bought a new cord for $12 at Radio Shack and it cleaned up nicely.

What looks to be an early 90's NEC set with early 90's NEC consoles. NEC on NEC action, the way it was meant to be. I crossbreed with an early 2000 Sony or Toshiba. Once I went flat screen CRT with digital comb filter... I never could go back.

I was going to say late 80's (with those buttons on the front), but Roy can look at the back and tell us the manufacturing info!

I'm going to guess 1989. I bet SNKNostalgia is closer, but, anyway...

What kind of inputs you got on that bad boy? s-vid/comp/rgb?

also - there's a 14" Sony PVM outside of Chicago for sale for $50 right now on Craigslist if anyone's interested.

Its birthday is September 1987 ( two years before the Turbob) and the inputs are comp.

Aha! Thanks for looking that up, Roy. 1987 baby, I knew it was 80's...the buttons on the front are the giveaway...by the late 80's/early 90's, designs were increasingly avoiding drawing attention to buttons.

Let's see...1987...I was rocking:
19" RCA TV (CATV in) <-- VCR (composite video in) <-- NES --> 8-track stereo receiver (it had a "mono" button to send sound to both speakers when a source was mono, such as NES).

Tatsujin · 03/31/2013, 10:31 AM

the nes, that mono monster

True, but for that price you can just as easily find one that has RGB or both RGB and component. I got both of my PVMs (one's an older one with RGB, the other is a little newer with dual RGB/component inputs) for about $35 locally.

Anyway, I picked this up yesterday. I spent a little more than I was willing to pay but it's one of the harder to find Atari 8-bit carts and it's a damn good port of the game too: http://tinyurl.com/bpn4hat

I got all of this stuff for free except the Atari which was $5 and Aladdin was $3. Yes the boxed turbo booster and Metal Slug X were free.

PikachuWarrior · 03/31/2013, 02:20 PM

/20130331131552.jpg

Pikachu 3DS XL: $170
FFXIII-2 PS3: $.26 cents

The 3DS XL got a black line within 12 hours as shown here:

/20130328230847.jpg

So I had to send it to Nintendo since all the stores locally, within Wisconsin anyway, are sold out as it was a Limited Edition console. Should be back within the next week to week and a half.

FF13-2, I am not really fond of. But I'll trudge through it since I want to see how the storyline continues from the first game.

Also at Goodwill, I picked up these for $1.50 each:

My recent acquisitions. Got a great deal on the psp lot, and 200 of the universal game cases to nice up the collection a bit.

nice toe you've got there, tsur

how much was it?

tsuran · 04/01/2013, 02:12 AM

Haha, yeah

I got both psp 3000's 3 mem sticks(2 8 gig, and 1 16 gig) 2 extra batteries, and all 6 games for 60 bucks. One of the psp's works flawlessly, but the other one has a busted memory card slot which makes it pretty much useless

Still a great deal, and I figgure I can find someone to replace the slot sometime.

dingsbums · 04/01/2013, 05:05 AM

So a few months ago I bought this set on Yahoo (mainly because it was cheap

). The package finally arrived here last Saturday (after several weeks at the customs office

) :

I love the music for Nostalgia 1907 on Mega-CD. Really. Lots of wonderful tracks (instrumental).

Your find is potentially better...but I think the music from Nostalgia 1907 trumps it (here's a taste... Listen to a wonderful song from Nostalgia 1907 ). Gorgeous.

Quote from: Tatsujin on 04/01/2013, 08:20 AMin fact it reads Sanfle Disk ;)

What is written wrong ??? I just wrote "Sample Disk" in the Google translator and this is the translation ;).

On a serious note:
Like everyone else around here (????) I would love to have PC Cocoron but I know that will sadly never happen

.

@ Tatsujin: Do you know the two owners in Japan of PC Cocoron in person ??? Why they don't want to "share" that game ???

SuperDeadite · 04/01/2013, 01:11 PM

The owner Yuki is a cool dude, I've not met him in person (tats has at the bar), but I've done a few email chats with him. Very helpful as long as you follow the rules. The only being is that you don't ask for what you can't have.

If he ever decides to share PCC, it won't be because of people pestering him.

And Tats is correct, you wrote "Sanfle", you forgot the modifying marker which changes Fu into Pu.

I have almost the exact same monitor. Mine is a different model # but it looks exactly like that. It's pretty small, but has a great picture. Good for a secondary monitor, but probably too small for someone's primary gaming display. But if you put it up on a desk at eye-level, it's great. Mine sits on my desk right next to my computer monitor (which also doubles as my TV.)

For $55, I'd pick it up.

Chris

Edit: Just as a warning, the built-in speaker doesn't work with RGB for some reason. Only composite and s-video.

FiftyQuid · 04/01/2013, 06:44 PM

There's not much Turbob up where I am. I've only made one local find (through Kijiji) and that scored me some great hu card games and my TG-CD with hard shell. Today I made my second local Kijiji find. All I really wanted was the TG case (in the background), but to get it I had to buy the entire lot. Asking price was $400, but I told them that was high and offered $250. I thought that was a reasonable offer and not a low ball. Pretty happy with the transaction. All of it is in pretty good condition.

Keep an eye on my 4sale thread as I'll be adding quite a few items. I also plan on bringing a lot of this to a local (Kitchener) game meet in May as trade bait.

Two more copies of Keith Courage! Lucky me!

My recent pick ups

Returned Batman and picked up my lego. Have yet to play it yet, cant stop playing Monster hunter

I wanted the 3DS so badly i pre ordered it from Gamestop.com, then i had my g/f go to target in the morning (i was at work) to buy one, since it was $160 instead of $199. The next day i returned the one i got from gamestop

Took a lil over a month to get this. First one i got in the mail, the head was detached. I bought this from NCSX, and when they shipped it all they put in the box was newspaper, and they wrapped the box of the model in a KOF maximum impact 2 poster. After i sent it back and got another one, the box had bubble wrap and all the packing fixins
