(Image removed from quote.)

I'm moving some things around so I brought all my stuff to work. The left Philips is a HDTV CRT which weighs far too much (that's my coworker's, mostly for Bemani games). Commodore monitor I'd be happy to give to anyone local in Seattle; we made a custom Svideo cable for it. The Sony is a BVM capable of 1080i and is the single greatest television I have ever seen in my life and it's my main display. Panasonic PVM is big, bright, and beautiful. Sony at the bottom is one of the last CRT monitors they did and is god-tier but I might have to give this to someone as it weighs waaaaaaaaaaay too much and takes up too much space.

Also in that picture: Virtua Fighter 3 arcade board and Apple //e

That's beautiful, breh, like a work of art.

LOL at the guy saying you should factor in the price of genuine Sega CD games sold on ebay when considering the cost. "Piracy is clever, all games are free"
(By the way, a real Sega CD can boot CD-Rs, there is no copy protection.)
Anyway, nice product, but too expensive for my taste since I already have an Everdrive and a working Sega CD unit.
And since Sega CD support may be coming to Everdrive, I'm going to hold off for now.

Sooo I've been playing Chrono Trigger on the DS and

WHY THE FUCK DID NOBODY LEARN FROM FUCKING CHRONO TRIGGER? Seriously there are so many QOL improvements to the JRPG genre in this game it makes me furious that nobody rolled with any of these, seriously what in the actual fuck, how just how

Best feature: WALKING AROUND WHILE PEOPLE ARE TALKING

Also here's an important question: Should I be playing it on my DS, or should I be playing the SNES version (I have access to both)

DS version is fine. People who moan about the extra content are dumb. Why would you hate more chrono trigger lmao

I've been browsing ebay for random games for giggles, and holy god some of the prices on this stuff.

Not the stuff that's clearly holy grails (or artificially inflated titles) but just random games you wouldn't think of.

Remember DrillDozer, the game nobody gave two shits about and was clearanced as low as $5?

Averages between $75-90 CIB on eBay - with Cart Only going as high as $50

I spent a lot of time on that on Dreamcast.  I wish there was a version on modern consoles.  The closest would be doing the freeway races in Midnight Club LA.  I don't think I did more than 4 or 5 story missions in that game, I would just challenge randoms on the freeway.

Looks like this is the last console game released- based on the Wangan Midnight manga series:



They had a mobile game in 2017 but it was shut down already.

Got a good deal on a Japanese NeoGeo mini with 2 pads.  The stick on the unit and pads is analog, which I'm not thrilled about (hard to pull off moves in KOF for me) but otherwise it's pretty nice.  Not sure if I'm going to keep it at work as part of my mini arcade or bring it home since it has HDMI out.

Almost bought one when they were being dumped last week but passed.  Will probably get one when they hit $50 or so.

For $50 it would be a good pick up, especially if you get 1 or 2 pads with it.

I played with it a bit more yesterday and had a good game in Garou and was able to pull off specials pretty easily with Terry using the little stick, I guess I must just suck at KOF.  The screen is really nice and it sounds good through headphones.  I still need to check out how well it works via HDMI on a TV.

This is wild, I got it for super cheap. I didn't realize GBA carts were fetching a lot, I need to do an inventory as haven't touched in years.

Yeah I know it sucks. The problem is youtube videos talking about GBA Hidden Gems such as MetalJesus and his videos..

I am also looking for this game, and also a bunch of other GBA games which are seemingly rare now :(

I did pick up some nice gba games Ill post it soon

I've received my TerraOnion MegaSD last week and I finally got around giving it a try as I'm recovering for surgery and I'm recovering my fucking senses at last.

It's a big buggy right now, some games like Snatcher have weird pauses where nothing happens for 2 minutes then the game resumes. I have no idea how this was not detected during QA but eeeh.. The team is working hard with numerous firmware updates. The unit itself is well built, I can't say I'm pleased with the fact that you cannot run SegaCD games if you have the 32x, due to various tech limitations from what I have seen on the forums.

I havent run into any issues with Sega Genesis stuff, you have save states, cheat supports, and also support for Virtua Racing Genny AND weird hacks like the super awesome (if you're a fan) of The Ultimate Mortal Kombat Trilogy hack, which is a super hack of UMK3 with the feature of being able to selection game specific version of each character of the MK Franchise, a custom soundtrack, 4 fatalities per character and its not super janky trash at all. It was made with care (tm)

.. The only drawback is that it's for the genesis version, which suffered compared to other ports, but so much work went into this hack. So being able to run this on real hardware is fucking cool.




Loading games is pretty much instant, there's automatic region patching, options for in game reboots and in-game menu options that you can make pop-up holding Up and Start.

I don't know what else to add, the only problem is the price tag but I'd say it's worth it all things considered.


ALSO - damn a lot of segaCD stuff has aged horribly. I think the fact that i'm playing using an OSSC is REALLY making the segacd's fmv limitations glaring.

I also discovered this hilarious fucking bizarre fmv game called WIREHEAD

I've been playing some of the FMV 25th anniversary releases like Night Trap and Corpse Killer and going back to the original Sega CD versions is pretty jarring.  They were pretty mind-blowing back in the day though.

Got a couple more mini cabinets.

​​​​​​​The Replicade Tempest is the best one of these I've come across.  It's built really well, controls smooth, and the cabinet art is great.  Looking forward to the Street Fighter one now.

The MyArcade Namco Museum is pretty cool too, though I'm not a huge fan of the screen, especially for horizontal games like Rolling Thunder and Splatterhouse.

Just a heads up that there are some retro collections 50% off on PSN this week.  Castlevania (both the Anniversary collection and Requiem), Contra, Konami, Dragon's Lair, probably a couple more that I'm missing.

Also Track & Field got added to Arcade Archives.  Can't wait to break a $60 controller on the hammer throw.

It's a cheapie burner phone, I spend all my spare cash on vidya and toys for my kid.

Track & Field on PS4 is fucking hard, even when you give yourself an extra "life".  Can't even get past the 3rd event.

 :snoop

I also got the Data East MyArcade mini cabinet.  Glad I only paid $40, there are a lot of stinkers on it.  Also (along with the Namco one) it doesn't make sense to me why there isn't a battery in it.  Kind of sucks to have to always have it plugged in.

Moral conundrum:
Let's say a colleague from work gave you his N64 games in exchange for an invitation to lunch. Turns out Conker's Bad Fur Day was among the games, along with OoT, Majora's Mask,Mario 64, Smash, Bomberman 64 and Mario Party 1.
Would you tell your colleague that he spent hundreds on that lunch and return these games?
I already own these games besides Conker and Mario Party. the other stuff was sports game junk. I wanted these games for me, not to make a quick buck off of them.
