The “What-Did-You-Buy-Today?” Thread

I am very certain about that your excitement will drop to the basement, once you turned on the switch.

Oh it did.  After playing the Mega CD version on my PSP for the past week, this...was a huge letdown.

But cheer up, at least it still is a PCE game

Hey Math, great get on teh Tats00jin

Hard as balls but great sounding tunes makes the fight easier.

sure one of the hardest out there ever. the gaps are tight but the tunez are right!

[xcrement5x]

This is the most exciting Gets over the last few months. I am way overdue posting Tatsujin and Radiant Silvergun. Thanks goes to Bernie and geise. I won the Sega CD on eBay via auction. It looked like it had barely been played.

Wow, that can't have been cheap; congrats on it though!  Does it have all the little pack ins and everything?  The one I found locally a couple years ago had the UPC cut out of it as well, but the price was too good to pass up.

Zuntata!!

[Mathius]

Unfortunately all the pack-ins were missing.

I waited until the right price came around on each item. I paid substantially less as a result.

[VenomMacbeth]

Zuntata!!

Did Zuntata do the OST for Tatsujin?  It sounds too Toaplan for them..

Lunar 2 is the best part of that lot ;)

Hehe. I still need to complete my Lunar 2 for the SCD. I have the case, disc, and manual but need a rear insert. Strangely the copy I bought had the Lunar 1 rear insert. Anyone want to trade?

[BlueBMW]

My lunar 2 SCD is a loose disc so I cant help you there.

My lunar 2 is missing the manual so if you ever upgrade to a complete one I'll buy the scraps

Three of the best systems made by human hands. A line-up of true classics.

[SmaMan]

That's three different versions TwinBees. What does that make it... Pop'n Detana SextupleBee?

[esadajr]

Japanese box art is so cool...

[munchiaz]

Got this 19" TV at goodwill for $1. Its got S-video, component and composite. It will replace my 27" Sanyo that is just to big



Got this stuff recently as well. Flash duel is a really fun simple, but deep board game. If you like board games i suggest checking it out

Some more PS2 RPGs and my final SquareSoft PS2 game, now its on to complete PS1 SquareSoft games.

RGC was my favorite DS game I had before I sold it off. The ergonomics of it killed my hands.

After a brief sidebar with Psycho jlued686, I had an itchin for some vinyl thriftin' today

The 3D remake of it on 3DS is actually pretty cool, too.

Nice one Beamer !!! where did you score that one ? and Bound High too ? I want these for my collection please let me know via PM many thanks !!!

[TheClash603]

I got my faceball a few weeks ago   Did you get a smiley beamer?

Dalder, I don't think the game is officially for sale, a few copies went out to those who helped the original acquisition of the game.  As I understand, a remixed version is anticipated someday.

[SmaMan]

Niiice! Now see, Faceball is one of those games that I think could actually work on the Virtual Boy. Did it ever get past that "prototype edition?"

[BlueBMW]

I got my faceball a few weeks ago   Did you get a smiley beamer?

I did not.  I was probably one of the later shipments.  I know he only had a set number of smileys.  No matter, I was delighted to find the copy in the mailbox.

[Tatsujin]

nice facleler hauler bemby.

[TheClash603]

Prototype edition is a full and playable game.  Looks like 25 more will go for sale randomly, good luck trying to get one to all who originally missed out.

There is going to me a "remastered edition" which features the fan hacked ROM as well.  Has like 3 times more levels,
plus more BGM and other features that are locked in the unaltered proto.

Went to go drop some stuff off at Goodwill and hit 3 thrift stores this morning and all had more than sports titles which is pretty rare in this area.

[Ninja Spirit]

That reminds me, couple months ago while taking a walk around town, found a CRT television on the sidewalk

Those five consoles are about all a retro gamer really needs.

[Joe Redifer]

No, you need to have a Genesis. And a Master System or at least a Power Base Converter. And a CD drive for that PCE.

[bob]

I need a top loader NES.

[Mathius]

No, you need to have a Genesis. And a Master System or at least a Power Base Converter. And a CD drive for that PCE.

Agreed on the PCE CD and Master System. My bads. To be honest, the Genesis just doesn't get much love from me anymore. Sure I can't go a year without playing Strider, SOR2, and a select few others. Maybe it's the video quality that does it. My Genesis is out getting an S-Video mod at this very moment. I am betting that will change my mind as my Master System has been FM and S-Vid modded. I have an entirely different view on the SMS since I had that done.

But as great as the SMS is having a Saturn with region switching is the premier Sega console to own. I have had more fun with the Saturn since I got back into gaming than any other system Sega has released.

[roflmao]

I agree.  Before I joined these forums (which not only got me expanding my library of Obey, but all of my older consoles) I had hardly given my Saturn a second thought. But it's been played an awful lot over the past few years.  So glad I never got rid of it.  It such a shame that there are so few, good, cheap US titles.

However, I have also been playing a lot of Dreamcast lately also.  Y'know what?  You really can't go wrong with any Sega console.  They all have their gems.


I ordered a loose Populous HuCARD today.   I found a loose SNES Populous cart in my office this morning and with all the recent chatter here, figured I'd pick the PC Engine version up while it's still dirt cheap.  (Thanks to Joshua for posting his Populous video on yt which I can't find anymore)

[SuperDeadite]

Been a good few months for Townsy.

[ApolloBoy]

Then you'll probably feel the same way about your Genesis when I get through with it, S-video on the Genesis looks very nice, fairly close to RGB IMO.

Hey! I see the Galaga '88 you propped up next to the television you added to your setup.
