I've been thinking about buying them (I bought his nes iOS app and found it great). 20 minutes ago, Rodimus said: I haven't picked up the SNES Guide Book by Pat yet. I might get it for Xmas. How is it? I have the NES one. They’re fantastic and I’m not a Pat fan. Get it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chakoo Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 Christmas gift for a close friend (Luckily he doesn't read these boards). The pad is in really good shape, sadly couldn't try it out since I didn't have any games for it. I also picked up a copy of Dr Chaos for nes. I've been curious to give this one a go after seeing it so often when looking at Famicom Disk games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodimus Posted December 2, 2019 Author Share Posted December 2, 2019 That is nice a box Power Pad and all. I have my pack in game but I haven't tried any other games for the pad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodimus Posted December 20, 2019 Author Share Posted December 20, 2019 Love Policenauts game at times. I made a video on it. I played through the Saturn also used a light gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chakoo Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 Here are my recent retro(-ish) pickups. Smash was a x-mas gift from a friend and I kind of wanted to replay the zelda games after beating the Links Awakening remake. I ordered this on Black Friday for myself. While it's well built it sadly doesn't play as well as the centipede unit (due to the dial being click instead of a smooth rotation). Still I'm happy to have picked it up and even happier it was only $86 USD after shipping. Now I just need to buy myself the SF2 unit.

chakoo Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Nothing amazing but I just want to say bad habits seem to start when I end up with a copy of Samurai Shodown on a system I don't have. Sham Sho Neo CD -> 10-ish years later I bought a Neo CD (Though I blame gamesack on that one and It took me a year to realize I still had Sham Sho) Sham Sho AES -> AES a mere week later Sham Sho MVS -> To be continued... For the love of god, nobody donate me a copy of Sham Sho for 3do, I already almost bought a 3do a few years back. =/ FYI, I'm thinking of getting a MVS-1C for my small cabinet, I tried out a pi-zero in it and everything just felt wrong and off about it. Yet I love when I have my Soul Edge or Tekken PCB running in it. I knew a local store had this MVS cart for a while and it was only $50 Cad which is fair for a real USA cart.

The current one out there is not very good (it uses the nes rom and not the arcade one). It's worth poking both NewWaveToys or Numskull to request a Burgertime. Numskull just recently announced a Bubble Bobble mini arcade (1/4 scale) using the arcade roms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chakoo Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 https://photos.app.goo.gl/SCoQMxjLRTtpSC8K8 Sorry for my lack of embedded photo (google seems to have changed urls that is breaking the site I use to convert with). My MVS-1b arrived this week (grabbed a cheap $40 one off ebay to mess with first). The thing is crazy bigger then envisioned from the photos. I might have to look into getting a 1C to see if it will fit better but at least this lets me start wiring it in to my bartop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShreddieMercury Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 I picked up Mad World and Muramasa: The Demon's Blade for Wii. I've been trying to take advantage of Wii U's back compatibility to play Wii games that I missed out on. I'd never heard of Muramasa before, but it looks really awesome so I'm excited to get to that.

chakoo Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Yay, I picked up another classic from my childhood. I've been looking for a complete copy for ages and now I found one at a decent price. I also picked up a fun sega classic I've never owned before. I'll let you guess which is witch. =) With this, there is now only a small handful of genesis games I'm still missing from my childhood (Moonwalker & Sonic 3). I should probably consider a Mega SG soon so I can play these on my main tv. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Littleronin Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Those are two of the first games I tracked down when I starting putting back together my Genesis collection. So much fun to be had with both of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can play this game for hours (Actually played for a good hour today). This was my first time playing BBros on Genesis and it's great fun but really damn hard for a game that doesn't look very complex on the surface. I really love collecting for the genesis but it's been pretty hard to find games complete with their manual in good shape locally. It's a real shame. =( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodimus Posted February 17, 2020 Author Share Posted February 17, 2020 I know what game I took home with my Genesis besides the pack in of Altered Beast. That was Castle of illusion. That is my guess for you as well but maybe the other would work since I never played the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaxick Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 I had the Mega Drive edition of Castle of Illusion as a kid. I had absolutely no idea what a Mega Drive was then or why my copy of the game said it instead of Genesis. I can't remember if I got it at Kohl's or if Sega mailed me it as I remember it was apart of the buy two get one free promotion they had going on. All I assume these days is since the the Genesis was selling better here than in Europe, Sega of America was probably pulling PAL copies of games to sell over here to keep popular titles in stock.

I think it came from one of my brother's friends who use to have a lot of consoles. One of the games that was with it was Castle of Illusion which I use to play a ton. This was my first time playing the genesis version of Bonanza Bros (maybe I played once before in a collection?) but I knew it was a good game.

I don't mind it, I honestly prefer the larger art on it, it's just strange to see Mega Drive as I much prefered the Genesis name and its logo.

chakoo Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 I added another game to the small MVS collection. I prefer 2020 Super Baseball out of the 3 for NG but I've still had fun with this one. It was also nice that it came from a local seller so shipping was not stupid (sometimes MVS carts have shipping prices of $20-$40 on ebay from outside canada).

Rodimus Posted March 2, 2020 Author Share Posted March 2, 2020 Selling off Game Gear collection seems understandable. I am also considering picking up a few Game Gear Games. I think if I have a working Game Gear or a way to play them I would be more interseted. * please share a link of what you end up selling. I have been on the fence for years in buying Saturn Multitaps. I need two to play 10 player Saturn Bomberman. I need to pull the trigger. I have the import version and enough controllers.

CastlevaniaNut18 Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 There's just not much worthwhile on GG. He went through the games last week and was like "nahhh." They perform rather poorly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chakoo Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 I kind of disagree. The Mickey games, SOR 1 & 2, GG shinobi 1 & 2, Defenders of Oasis, GG Aleste 1 & 2, Ristar, Shining Forces games are all great on the system. I also have a bit of a soft spot for the first sonic games on GG as I use to play the crap out of it when I was a kid (yeah the slowdowns sucked). I'd gladly play my GG more if I had a better way to play it (my screen gets really blurry and has some crazy line ghosting issues on it).

CastlevaniaNut18 Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Ewww, just play Shining Force CD, not the GG version. And we played the fan translated SF Final Conflict and it was honestly not good. I struggled to get through it. As for the rest, just play them on Genesis or SMS. In a lot of cases, the GG games are just bad watered down versions of their console counterparts.

Nokt Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 Found a SNES at a local second hand music shop for $60. Wasn't really in the mood to buy one, but it was in pretty good condition. No yellowing, no chips, no deep scratches, aside from being a bit dirty and a highlighter mark on the side it in as good of condition you can ask for. The controller is absolutely disgusting, I asked them to bag it separately because of how gross it was. I plan on buying a gamebit driver so I can take both of them apart and give them a good clean.
