I got a PS4 too.  I didn't take pictures.   We beat Knack already.

resogun and contrast = fuck yes

Josh - do those 1084's have RGB? How's the picture?

I don't see no RGB....

[Arkhan Asylum]

all 1084 monitors have RGB on them.  Either in DIN or DB9 form.

EDIT:  The one in the video looks like a 1084S, so it should have a DIN on the back for RGB.

You can plug an Amiga 500 in to composite with just a normal RCA cable, but it will be black and white.


I might still have a cable here for Amiga 500-->1084 monitor.    I'll see if I do still.  It's free if I can find it.

[Tatsujin]

Weren't there also some with scart RGB input? at least in europe I think we had them. but most were DINs.

[Arkhan Asylum]

Yeah we didn't get SCART here.  The monitors have the cutout for where SCART would have been, but it's empty.

Yes - I had a 1084 with a RGB Scart input (sadly the screen died around 2 years ago  ). But the more common ones are the screens with the 9 Pin RGB input.

Stopped up at People Play Games in Chicago over the weekend...took massive restraint to only walk out with this stuff:



Standard PPG pricing - common stuff is pretty reasonably priced and anything remotely rare or uncommon is balls expensive...and then there's the $349 for a loose PCE Duo.

Still a must-see when you're in the area though.

[BlueBMW]

Momo!!!

[turboswimbz]

MOMO!

[Mathius]

Good lord that's an expensive Duo!

[jeffhlewis]

MOMO!

$6.95 to boot. Damn near mint condition, too. Am I the only person that smells the manual to determine the mintyness of the product?

Oh man, I walked right into that joke.

[turboswimbz]

Not a bad price.  I picked one up for 6 by the time I added shipping in off the forum.  I enjoy momo, even if it is god awful hard in the final stages for me.  One of the best cheap games I have owned.

Last few months. PCE, CD+G's, D&D, and multiplayers.

People Play Games has a very great selection for all systems. But yeah, some of the rarer titles tend to be way overpriced. Any noteworthy turbo or AES games at the store, Jeff? It's been a while since I visited PPG.

As long as you're not buying grail games behind the glass case, the deals aren't horrible but they're creeping up past eBay prices in some cases. But on the flipside you get to actually see what you're buying before you buy it. So there's that.

They had a decent wall of U.S. Turbo stuff for $8-10 bucks a piece, complete. Behind the glass case they had CIB U.S. copies of Soldier Blade, Dungeon Explorer 2 and Terraforming. Some other goodies like Under Defeat for the DC, MUSHA for the Genesis along with a bunch of complete boxed NES games for absurd prices. Nothing "OMGRARE" this time around but a good selection if you have the $$$.

For AES they had 3 Count Bout and Blue's Journey both CIB for $50 each. They had some loose AES in the glass case but I didn't bother to translate the names on the labels.

Nice on the CD+Gs!  What're the graphics like on the Lou Reed disc?


I finally snagged Hawaiian Island Girls:
 

[Nando]

HOLY SHIT $90 for that CD?


GOD BLESS THE INTERNET!! FREE PR0N for ALL!

[NecroPhile]

It could be worse.  Local Girls of Hawaii was also $89.95, but Bikini Girls was $149.95.

GOOD LAWD!!! Cool as hell from a collectors POV but JEEBUS CRISPY ON A TRIKE!!

80's girls....um no thanks. lol

Good chance that Soldier Blade was the same one that was there two years ago. Still too expensive I'd wager.

I used to go that store frequently during my college days. The owner is a really cool guy. He knows me by name. His prices used to be reasonable on just about anything, even rarer stuff. I remember picking up US Soldier Blade with manual for $40 about 3 or 4 years ago. The owner even threw in about a dozen hucard sleeves. In the past two years the prices have really gone up on the rarer stuff, such as $350 for a CIB Soldier Blade and $250 for CIB Shockman last time I was there...

Like Jeff said, the store is definitely worth getting to if you are in the area. There aren't too many places where you can see turbo games out in the wild, among other cool games.

I walked by that Media XChange a couple blocks down from there; that place was pretty good if I remember from our trip a couple years ago. I had to cut myself off though, heh.

Isn't Herman Li the guitarist from Dragonforce?  Man, he's a monster.  I remember watching a video awhile back where he said a lot of his licks were inspired by retro games.

Yes, Herman Li is indeed the guitarist from Dragonforce. I have only owned an acoustic guitar over the 20+ years that I have been playing so I wanted to get a nice electric guitar and spent some vacation money towards it since I didn't go on a cruise this year.

I was under the impression that those games were coming out on Black Friday but I got a text message from Game Stop that seemed to indicate that they would be available for pickup today while your photo certainly confirms it.

I think I want to play Super Mario 3D World more than my Xbox One.

Unfortunately I can't really play either until tomorrow, as I have stuffz tonight.

Killer Instinct was real enjoyable when I played it, but I wish there was more characters.  Not even double digits in 2013 is kind of a joke!

Was cleaning out the kitchen cabinet and I found these two coffee mugs that I got at the Konami booth at the CES convention back when t was held in Chicago in the mid 1990's.



Which is kinda convenient since today is my birthday and my parents got me this cold brew coffee maker from japan.

Should be getting Ys Memories of Celceta Silver Edition on Friday from Amazon: Free!

and Monster Hunter Ultimate 3 for Wii U just got on Amazon Lightning Deals for $16--that one sold out within a minute of the deal going live!

[xcrement5x]

Got some random stuff the other day:


2013-11-26 Saturn by xcrement5x, on Flickr

Olympic Soccer [SAT]
Double Switch [SAT]
Grid Runner [SAT]
Norse by Norsewest: The Return Of Lost Vikings [SAT] (no manual)
Blood Will Tell [PS2]

All the Saturn games came out to about $7 each with the shipping, you can see what I paid for Blood Will Tell in the picture. 
I will probably try and sell Blood Will Tell since it seems to go for closer to $30, or if anyone has an extra Norse by Norsewest manual I would happily trade for it.
