The “What-Did-You-Buy-Today?” Thread

[esadajr]

by now there are a number a number of exclusives id like to try, so I just got me one of these. First order of business was adding a 640gb hdd.

[EvilEvoIX]

I got these guys for $40, good deal?

[bob]

$40 is ok. Mega Man, Metroid, the marios, and Bad n Rad are the most fun out of all of them. The rest are just "padding" to me.

Don't be so quick in dismissing Donkey Kong!

[Nando]

Don't be so quick in dismissing Donkey Kong!

Indeed.

[o.pwuaioc]

Don't be so quick in dismissing Donkey Kong!

Indeed.

The Mega Man game is far inferior to Donkey Kong.

[bob]

Don't be so quick in dismissing Donkey Kong!

I didnt even notice DK in there.
Only time i played Mega Man was on the GC GB player. Never played it on the actual unit. Thought it was fun. Not that i have to explain myself to you 'wads.

[Mathius]

Donkey Kong is #1 in that lineup. If only they'd put out a game like that one nowadays.

Funny story about that Game Gear.  I went to trade it in with my games as teen but the caps had gone on it so the store wouldn't take it.  I still hung onto it for whatever reason.  a few months ago I sent it out to Kieth to be recapped and now my childhood system is working again.

It managed to survive by playing dead until a decade later when it could be revived

Paid for a collection today. Found a fellow in my city who horded games for about 30 years. I've been slowly helping him sell them off and buying what I want. Finally, I got his SNES collection. Here is a sample of some of the more valuable/interesting/pretty/sexy games. looking forward to playing the ones I have not played...

[VenomMacbeth]

Holy shit.

[roflmao]

Nice!

[vexcollects]

Holy shit.

Yes. That was what I was saying in my head when he first showed me his collection. It was insane. It still is pretty insane. I've sold about 60% of it so far. Held on to maybe 25% of it. He just reached a point where he didn't care about any of it anymore. I never would have found another person who had what he had in my city, and who didn't care about it. He had more interesting items than any of the game stores in my city.

[cobrad12]

Nice wild guns. I'm super jealous. I've been looking for that one for awhile now and it seems the price just keeps going up.

[jtucci31]

I'm very jealous of Chrono Trigger. That's probably one of the only snes games I really want. Nice finds!

Wow! cool score.

[vexcollects]

I was mostly excited about R-Type III actually. Love the SHMUPS.

Yeh it's great, probably my favourite R-Type game.

[MrFlutterPie]

I was mostly excited about R-Type III actually. Love the SHMUPS.

YES!!

R-Type III is far superior to Super R-Type.  It's a fantastic game. 

Sexy lot of CIB's

I have only ever seen R-Type III in the wild once (about two months ago) at a CD Exchange (in my new city that I am moving to!)

It was a lose copy and the label was a little jankey, but I passed.....mostly because they wanted $120 for it ........

[vexcollects]

I got lucky. All of the games in that pic of mine are in good condition too. All the maps and inserts are included with the RPGs. R-Type III and Lufia are especially nice, near mint condition boxes and carts. Ridiculous.

I kept about 35 other boxed SNES games from the same bundle I bought from the hoarder guy on Sunday (selling the rest of the 60 or so SNES games from the bundle, nothing too spectacular in those), but I only took a picture of these particular ones. There was also FFII, FFIII, Zelda LtP, Super Metroid, Illusion of Gaia (near mint), SOS, Lost Vikings, Wanderers of the Ys III, Zombies Ate My Neighbors (Mint), Cybernator, Tinstar, Actraiser 1 and 2, Utopia, Equinox, Aerobiz Supersonic, The 7th Saga, Brainlord, Mario All Stars, UN Squadron, Prince of Persia 2, Street Racer, and a loose copy of Lufia 2 with maps in the bundle (to name a few). 

[munchiaz]

Axelay is so good

[vexcollects]

Axelay is so good

I played it with a buddy on Sunday. He got frustrated pretty fast, but he is my N64 friend. He no play the SHMUPS. I could tell I was going to have a lot of fun with it.

[xcrement5x]

I just got these in the mail yesterday:



Worms for the Sega Saturn
AND
Disgaea 4 Vita from NIS America with free Monokuma Squad Sticker


I also got some additional Sega Saturn games I purchased from synbiosfan to help out with my Saturn collection.  He also helped me replace some beat up manuals/inserts I had so I'm a pretty happy camper. 

[Otaking]

Those games along with the games you showed in the picture is some mega haul, you hit the jackpot.

[nectarsis]

I picked up Atlantean at the P.O. this afternoon.  The poor box is squished to hell, but it looks like the goodies made it through okay.

[munchiaz]

My recent pick ups. Really enjoying the speakers. Such s huge upgrade from the PVM speaker.  Also picked up some reading material. I originally read up to issue 5 of scott pilgrim, and never finished it. So i've been slowly buying the hard cover color versions to finally finish

[vexcollects]

Got these beauties in the mail today. $3.25 for Bubble Bobble. $44 for Hagane. Not too bad.

[xcrement5x]

This just came in the mail today!



SUPRAKILLMINDS! It is a new Genesis homebrew published by fasebonus.  On the back of the package they say that it is a puzzle game that will "make your brains melt like an ice cake in plain summer".  Can't wait to try it out!

[InfraMan]

^^^ I've been curious about Suprakillaminds... you'll have to post your opinion after you've played it for a bit!

Well you won't have to, but please do.

I was watching Hagane for a while on eBay and saw it go for $65CAD to $75CAD all the time. One auction popped up at $44US buy it now and I jumped on it.

Gearing up for October gaming and picked up a PS2 Slim(regrettably sold my orig) and got Castlevania Curse of Darkness, Lament of Innocence,         and Castlevania Chronicles.

Scored a little at the local flea market. Some guy was liqudating old stock from his dad's sports card shop.

He had other series of the Loonytunes but to me the only good one was the firat done entirely by chuck. Got all three box sets he had for $10 total. Also got that old card for a dollar.

The snes reproduction is shubibinman zero a game that only had a japan release,for the satellaview.

[Medic_wheat]

And finally - after years of searching to find it for a good price   .

Wow CIB. Still must have cost a pretty penny. I have thought of getting this and a few others like summer carnival but the price always scares me off

[jeffhlewis]

How much for that Gimmick? Spill the beans

[PunkCryborg]

Is the system card manual custom or did you find an original?

Price has really sky rocketed for a famicom,mr.gimmick.Ive seen boxed copies go for much as $300.00+ at auction.Last year i just bought a reproduction of (mr.gimmick cib) instead,since the famicom version has become pricey.

I bought it for 180 Euro (final shipped price) on yahoo which is roughly 240 $ at the moment.
The last (CIB) ones I watched on ebay went for 500 $ - this one for example:

http://www.ebay.de/itm/Gimmick-Famicom-NES-JP-GAME-/311022298593?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item486a5fa5e1&nma=true&si=PTEvDR1BrKG0%252Fz5x%252BNxNxJ%252FbY1U%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

And this one is still running nearly 5 days and it's at 300 $ already:

http://www.ebay.de/itm/Gimmick-Nintendo-Famicom-NES-Japan-Used-Game-JP-Gimmick-Great-Condition-/201150478061?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2ed580b6ed

So I think I did pretty good .

Is the system card manual custom or did you find an original?

Before I had the System Card 1.0 and 2.0 - as far as I know these two never had an original boxed release. So I made customs for these two cards. The System Card 2.1 was released in a boxed version - the one on my picture is an original 2.1 box / inlay.
