Did you purchase this from the guy on the neo-geo forum. I was so tempted to buy it a few days ago

edit: i checked, and it is the same one that was being sold on neo-geo. I should have jumped on it when i had the chance. To quote another thread on this forum, its one of my holy grails

munchiaz · 04/13/2013, 10:48 PM

Stuff i bought while on vacation in Buffalo NY

Some games my brother gave me

Mathius · 04/13/2013, 10:57 PM

I have never heard if that Saturn game.

TheClash603 · 04/13/2013, 11:23 PM

It is a tactical RPG like Final Fantasy Tactics. It is actually quite difficult, though it is fair and rewarding. This is one I used to play a lot when it was new, but I haven't touched in a while... maybe I will give it a go sometime soon.

The game's claim to fame is it was released under the title Blazing Heroes as well for some reason.

Sparky · 04/14/2013, 12:04 AM

A toy for the kids to play with... Oh hell...ok I like it to and a good movie

Yeah reasons why Sega did that back in 1995-1996 or so ? It was because Dungeons n Dragons had that name Mystaria so Sega had to change the title to Blazing Heroes but they are basically the same game !

I will lol. Already had a Sega Cd but it's the model 1 and figured it would be nice to have a backup model.

@turboswimbz, Thanks and I will remember that about Taz

@Sparky, That Wall-E is freaking cool

. One of these day's I will grow up and quit wanting toy's lol

turboswimbz · 04/14/2013, 08:37 AM

Haha no need MAC I'm gonna scout that came out now.

Also Walle-E is a fantastic movie, that thing looks pretty sweet sparky

if you like WALL-E have you ever seen Silent Running it was one of the many influences that director Andrew Stanton had when making the film. It's older but good.

I thought the same thing tats about the controller but it works well, he goes forward and turns quickly around when he needs to go in a different direction. Arms, eyes & head move and eyes light up. He dances and talks and you can program moves. He is a bit of alright

I bought a 3DS and Vita version at launch and then when they had the special yellow led watch a few months ago with a game purchase, I got a 3DS one again, and sold the game.

I bought a few Gamecube games as I was just given a CIB Platinum console.

Super Mario Sunshine
Super Smash Bros. Melee
Eternal Darkness

It's not really a system I'm terribly familiar with, so I'm pretty much going on word of mouth for a few titles to try out. I definitely want to get the 2 Zelda games and Luigi's Mansion as well.

There are some good games for the Gamecube, but the Game Boy adapter is where it's at! GBA games look so much better on a TV.

Gotta look around and get creative with keywords but i've had no problem finding 4 pro monitors to buy that i liked within the last 2 years and I've seen tons more for sale. Try doing an ebay local search then of course craigslist or whatever they use up in canadia (mooseknuclerlist?) try searching pvm, professional monitor, studio monitor, medical monitor, sony professional tv etc

Quote from: compil3r on 04/10/2013, 01:53 PMJust bought this lot. For the price (under $140) I think it was pretty good!

Biggest city in the world, Mexico City, Mexico!
That is a great find indeed. I didn't know turbo games were sold in Mexico. Just curious, did you get that at an open market or a video game store?
Oh yeah, TG16 was kinda big in Mexico. TG-16, CD unit and games were officially (like with a licensed distributor) sold on a big department stores chain over here, called Liverpool, something like Macy's or Sears in the US. Then when Turbo Duo came out, some stores like "Gameplanet" (they operate still to date) did took special orders from some gamers, and I bought my Turbo Duo and many games with them. Liverpool never brought the Duo or anything TTi related, guess the TG16 sales were not as expected.

I got this lot from open market, it's like the mexican version of eBay over here (I think they are actually associated) called MercadoLibre. From time to time, great deals like this one can be found there. Most of the time everything is overpriced, but this is proof that sometimes you can hit the jackpot!

Great find! You're right, (retro) stuff is really hard to find in Mexico and at the right price. To my knowledge there are no retro stores like GamexChange, People Play Games, Disc Replay etc

I don't remember the Turbo being on sale in Monterrey, I know it was sold in Mexico because of the TV commercials and that Nino Canun videogames special. Back then it was the SNES and the Genesis, and the Genesis just in the early part of the 90s.

xcrement5x · 04/15/2013, 05:41 PM

No pics, but I had to return some stuff to a GS near me and grabbed a couple things. Some PSP games (the stand out was Ys Ark of Napishtim), another Wireless Logitech PS2 controller (my fav for the system!), a Memory card reader for the PS3, and a loose Time Ace for the DS.

Also went by my local media store and found Mass Effect 3 N7 Edition (360) for $12. It was complete with all the extra stuff, even like that embroidered patch, which was pretty awesome! Had to jump through some hoops though which was kind of lame.

First I bought it, and then they gave me discs for the regular version, so I asked them to check for the appropriate discs and they went back and said they couldn't find them and offered to refund me. I was pretty sure they had the discs and some employee just wanted it for themselves so I said I'd take it with the regular discs. I went back the next day and said "hey, I got the wrong discs for this game when I bought it yesterday, can you check if the right ones are in the back?" Of course they were in there and I got them swapped out nicely.

You will not be disappointed. Such a great game (multi-player and solo game). Sure, it's not always super-challenging, but it is fun as heck.

AND, I like the soundtrack...it's a very nice: refreshing.

Anyway, money well spent.
