I'm not mad, I'm just confused.
Never expected this thing to pop up on Craigslist.
needs a bit of cleaning, but hey, I think I did alright at $225

jtucci31 · 06/14/2017, 11:13 PM

Haha you even talked him down, nice! I'm pretty shocked you found a Duo R locally period, that's nuts.

Got some cheap PS1 and PSP shit, 50 cents each. The personal highly for me is this ridiculous Puyo knock-off game, Tecmo Stackers. Hilarious.

You Can tell this game is for foreigners. I mean seriously no American would want to do this.

crazydean · 06/19/2017, 11:18 AM

That job sim looks like it could have been fun, but there are just too many jobs which turns it into more of a mini game compilation.

Digi.k · 06/26/2017, 08:44 AM

got these for a song but the shipping was like 5 times the price of all items >__<

They are my weakness.

Anyway, there is a $15 off $75 eBay sale right now (code: PGET15OFF which ends at 11pm EST) so I bought GiTS SAC 1/2 dvd (blus are trash unfortunately), GiTS Innocence blu/dvd combo and GiTS SSS blu.

NecroPhile · 06/30/2017, 10:56 AM

Thanks to xelement for picking it up locally and sharing the deal, I snagged a Samurai Ghost.

Is there a page where I can see all the different characters...like Amazon.jp?

Gypsy · 06/30/2017, 04:00 PM

Local chain was running a B2G1 sale. Got a 6 button Genesis controller, model 2 Saturn controller and anime oav (Armitage III) for $15.

Sounds like Vintage Stock's holiday sales

Gypsy · 06/30/2017, 04:07 PM

Yes sir. The location near me had a SNES power adapter for $4.99 but it wasn't Ninty so I passed on it.

All the games are basically sale protected by their prices. Then again I didn't exactly dig around for more since I was getting out so cheap and already happy.

You in the midwest then?

Lol, I'm gonna hit the VS near me in just a bit as well.

I also just picked up a mountain bike I won at the local city surplus auction. I say it's for my wife, but if she doesn't want it I'm totally gonna use it.

Yeah.. St Louis County. I have gotten some good game deals at a few of the locations before, it seems like the best deals I find are on Saturn stuff (games, taps, controllers) but I have also found some cheap/mispriced Wii and original Xbox stuff

Gypsy · 06/30/2017, 04:31 PM

Saturn games are insane at the main location I go to. They had a pretty rough Shining Wisdom at like $220.

Whenever I go in I almost always walk out with game accessories and anime though.

I did see Outrun 2 for $6, but I already have it. Would have been more tempting if a Taito Legends (also 5.99) they had wasn't in crap shape (then I'd only need one more game), but I didn't want to try and find two more things.

Gypsy · 07/01/2017, 11:42 AM

The game looks somewhat interesting. I'm thinking I'll pick up the standard when it's $20 or less.

DragonmasterDan · 07/01/2017, 07:16 PM

Related to what I posted in response to Nectarsis here's what I've had come in the mail that's gaming related in the past day.

Gypsy · 07/01/2017, 09:08 PM

Last couple days I had some good stuff trickle in.

Ghost in the Shell Special Edition DVD (earlier run w/ slip cover and digipak)
Ghost in the Shell Innocence BD/DVD combo
Ghost in the Shell SAC 1/2 DVD
Ghost in the Shell Solid State Society BD
The Last Action Hero LD
Wangan Midnight PlayStation 3
Transformers: Devastation PlayStation 4
NHL '94 Sega CD

Just hit up the Rightstuf sale too, and some other anime on the way from eBay and Amazon. Getting some long time wants off the list now that I've been watching lots of anime again.

Will watch GiTS either tonight or tomorrow. Probably Innocence right after.

jtucci31 · 07/01/2017, 09:51 PM

I was just about to post about Tokyo Xanadu because I know it just came out. You guys have to post back in that thread what you think about it. I'm getting more and more interested and I'm not sure if I want to try this out since it's new or just go for Persona 4 on Vita. I've heard Tokyo Xanadu described as a sort of Falcom Persona but with some Ys thrown in.

cjameslv · 07/01/2017, 10:12 PM

Nothing major but did pick up Space Invaders cd version for pc engine. Enjoyed the classic arcade version and the anime girl background 2 player game was interesting as well.

TheClash603 · 07/02/2017, 01:35 PM

I've played Cuphead at a few conventions and it was awesome. If there wasn't a new Mario game coming out, it may have been my most anticipated game for the rest of the year.

Yep, they're a little on the small end at 30.00 for the pair but I love the art style of the game so I wanted some merchandise for it.

With that said the NeoSD is a slightly more exciting purchase.

Gypsy · 07/02/2017, 04:54 PM

Lacie electron 22 blue iv for free off CL. Bit of a drive to go pick it up. The guy was going to use it in his custom arcade cab but had to go with something lighter.

They cost more than the actual game, go figure.

Gredler · 07/02/2017, 08:08 PM

I can't wait to hear some info about the NEO SD, I'll be bothering you about it often in chat if you don't make a thread post about it here.

Also gypsy have you played NHL 94 CD before? That's a cherished gsme on my shelf that has more memories than most Sega CD games. Best version of the third best hockey game of all time, enjoy man!

Besides the fact that some of the Neo Geo games have very high file sizes and can take a few minutes to flash. The Neo SD is a breeze to use and is a must have considering the prices of AES games for anyone who owns an AES to play games rather than collect.
