Perseverance and patience enough said.

Get ready for some POWER POWER POWER!!

Seriously, this is the most I have played any Laseractive game thus far. Even better I got my buddy's kids to start running around saying power power power!

[Joe Redifer]

I got Splash Lake when it was on clearance at Toys R Us. I only bought it because it was cheap. It was around $7 or $8 I think. Definitely worth that. Surprised it's not worth more than $30 or so since I believe it was a fairly late release.

What WAS the last cd_rom2 (non-super) release?

What WAS the last cd_rom2 (non-super) release?

According to Wikipedia it's Splash Lake, released on June 28, 1991. That seems to be the last non-super release in NA

Does terraforming count?   
Doesnt it actually play on a TGCD with no SS Card?

Huh, never heard about that one, I wish I knew because that would imply I actually have Terraforming. Which 'surprisingly' I do not...

[Mathius]

^^ What PS1 game is that top row 2nd from left? It looks like it's in a demo CD cardboard case.

And what kind of game is Aubirdforce? It's from BanDai so I am assuming it's some kind of licensed game.

[Joe Redifer]

According to Wikipedia it's Splash Lake, released on June 28, 1991.

I have to question Wikipedia's Splash Lake's release date. It was released without a cardboard box which means it was released by TTi. The Duo wouldn't be out for a while longer. I got my TurboGrafx with CD in June of 1991 and the Duo wasn't even a thing. The Super System Card was still a ways away. Ys 3 was released after June 1991 in the US.

[Psycho Punch]

I thought Buster Bros. and Splash Lake were the only NEC CDRom releases without cardboard boxes, not TTi releases.

Did a little garage sailing today. Nothing big but it has been awhile since I go something.  The Wii games were a buck a piece and the 3 Gamecube games were a buck for all 3.

The Scart cable was free   The bag of Star Wars Miniatures was $7

/vjpW6m4.jpg

I also bought a new shelf for my games.  The person wanted $10 but I talked her down to $5.

/TyIhzLA.jpg

Been on a OBEY drought for a long time now.  Finally found Last Alert for a non stupid price.  When the hell did this this game go up to $50?? I've been wanting it for sometime now so it's great to finally get it and not overpay The sports games were only a few bucks I added in to make the shipping costs worthwhile.

You know what, it was probably the Japanese release date (my bad), wikipedia didn't specify which region the release date was for and according to them YS III was released in June 28, 1991. Sorry for the confusion!

My kids love Eric Carle books, especially that one

[bob]

One of the reasons i was excited to have kids was for the books. I have been on a 5 year long hunt for "Cheese, Peas, and Chocolate Pudding"

[synbiosfan]

I bought another Psychomania DVD since the latest one I'd bought is missing a few minutes that were on the old VHS release.

The latest one I bought is from The EuroShock Collection so we'll see if it's complete.

It's a cheesy bikers return to life film from my childhood.

[Bardoly]

I have said it before and I will say it again, I love Splash Lake.

One of the best games of its type ever made.

Ditto.
It is a great game!  My son's and I all really enjoy it.

[NightWolve]

Ys OVA w/ Calendar 4th LD has some promos and a music video from JDK Band!

Niccce! Anybody ever discover what Falcom's "J.D.K." stands for, BTW ??

[Joe Redifer]

It's TTi. Look on the back of the case. Turbo Technologies.

The Japanese version of Einhander now. How about that, looks like the cover art choice on the US version is better. It's been ages since I beat mine, I don't remember anything about it.

[Mathius]

What is the PS1 game on the left, Tatters?

[Tatsujin]

Gundam W Teh Battle. 2D brawler with huge sprites

tehre are two of them

新機動戦記ガンダムW　THEバトル　その１

[Mathius]

Pretty cool! That vid is pretty grainy but there seems to be a lot of animation in those sprites.

[Tatsujin]

lol yeah it's a bad video, I found out after posted it

huge animated 2D sprites with lots of animation and smooth scaling and stuff

[BlueBMW]

[Tatsujin]

@Bard: only nobey this time

[xcrement5x]

Just got back from vacation and had a couple things waiting for me:



My raffle Win from PCEFX!  An awesome looking Famicom to NES convertor from jperryss.  Now I need to pick up some fami carts!

Plus a couple random DS pickups:
A Witch's Tale
Battles of Prince of Persia

I've been trying to get a decent copy of A Witch's Tale for awhile since I passed on one a couple years back.  I'm a big NISA fan and was missing this.  Unfortunately it has quite a heavy smoke smell to it   The PoP game ended at 99c from the same seller so I figured it wouldn't hurt to grab for the combined shipping. 


Next up though, some major LaserActive love!!!



-Blue Chicago Blues (JP) with obi, reg. card, and instruction sheet.

One of my HOLY GRAILS for the LaserActive of the last several years.  I've been looking for a copy for awhile that didn't make my wallet cry and got lucky as sin here.  It was a blind buy on condition and it looks great.  There is some slight rubbing on the sleeve but other than that it looks like new.  I actually originally thought I was getting the MegaLD version but this showed up instead.  I will not complain, and can't wait to get to play it ;)


-3D Museum (JP) with obi, reg. card, and instruction sheet.

Yet another copy of 3D Museum, again with no glasses.  But it's the ROMROM version and I wanted to try and grab it if I could.  Got a nice deal on it and was another blind buy on condition.  Looks pretty decent all things considered.  I'm not sure if the ROMROM version came with the heavy outer sleeve either, but this one is lacking both that and the 3D glasses.

And less interesting but still neat:



Triad Stone (JP Copy) with obi and instruction sheet.

Zapping TV Satsui (JP Copy) with instruction sheet and reg card.

The Zappingu was a blind buy on condition and has no obi, I can't complain too much though since the price was great.  I have a US copy of Triad Stone but found a good price on this JP copy and wanted one with an obi finally.  POWER POWER POWER!

[Opethian]

dammit I need that triad stone! lol nice hauls xele

[Nando]

lol yeah it's a bad video, I found out after posted it

Makes me think of a Souped up version of Endless Waltz on the SFC.

[esteban]

GODDAMN! LaserActive owners, why don't you love in NYC area? So I can visit you and play LD-ROM...

[NecroPhile]

The Print Booster and Illust Booster arrived in the mail yesterday.  Sadly, the clear cover thingy on the printer did not survive shipping and ended up busted in half.

That witch's tale looks interesting.  Couldn't find a video review of it, but I have been a growing fan of NIS. 

Where did you find it?  I typically see complete games going for $49-64. With lose games for around $25

I found it off ebay.  I'd been waiting awhile for a CIB auction to show up and this one finished for about $30.  The cart is slightly discolored but I don't really mind that much, and I can always swap for a better looking loose cart if I ever come across one in the wild.  The one I passed on a couple years back was $15 and I still kick myself a bit for not grabbing it as it looked nice and minty.

[turbokon]

My haul for today.  This is probably my best haul ever. Everything will need some sort of repair.

[Medic_wheat]

Nice haul


I must Remmeber to bug some of the tech savy people to do some repairs for my sega cd, TG-16 cd drive, and recap my turbo duo.


In fact if anyone could pm me at their convince so I can figure out pricing I can budget to get this done sooner then later.

[Tatsujin]

supreme haul. from where did you get that?

What's that?

[Medic_wheat]

If I had to guess it is in relation to the shojan jump managa series which has had many various managa on it from blech to dbz to I think even astro boy.

I also see a famicom twin. Was that a new pick up as well?

A quick online search result: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdVG_wWATY7TikirswdodvQ

looks like it's a collection of games based on the Jump collections? I recognize most of the characters on the cover.

[Mathius]

He's had that Twin for awhile I believe.

[Medic_wheat]

He's had that Twin for awhile I believe.

I have thought about getting one as it would aerve my need for both a famicom and a disk system. They seem to still be reasonably priced typically ranging in the $250 and higher.


Ill have to do more research as I am unfamiliar with draw back and what can and cant be done with it as far as av moding to display on a us tv be it modern or tube

I have a Sharp Twin. Your biggest worry should be the disk drive. Finding someone who can do repairs if needed on that fickle thing can be difficult. I know of someone who has devised a new way to service it but I am not sure he's done experimenting with it yet.
