May 2014 Pick ups

[KalessinDB]

Well well well... I may just have to look into that, though I still think you're overstating how easy it is for someone with 10 thumbs

How much Wiggy?

Would need a completed board before I could do anything since I'd need measurements from it.

Even so, I honestly don't have much in the way of spare time and it would be quite pricey between the cad work and printed parts.

Curious about your PLA feed setup since it isn't coming off the included mount in the back.

Looks like one of the side panel screws is loose too

Don't want to lost time in change the pla filament of the back panel . The screw it's due the shitty umi x1 pro camera

Just be mindful of the filament. It binds up REALLY easily which will stop your and possibly clog the print head

the way it is works without problem, the box help to avoid that. Anyways now it's in the correct form, only was a fast "patch"

Just got back from Goodwill.

A couple of these I already had, but I picked them up because they are in immaculate condition (no a single scuff on the disc, etc).

[wiggy]

Had a $5 TrU reward card that would have expired tomorrow, so I grabbed something cheap that I've wanted for a while anyway. The SNES games I picked up while hunting for donor carts.

F'in Ducktales is the shit!!! They did an awesome job on the remake.

[Retro Deckades]

I have to agree with palmer on this one! I only recently played the game -- I picked it up on sale from the Wii U eShop. If I had known I was going to enjoy it so much, I would have picked it up on day one!

It you have any affinity for Ducktales, be it the original cartoon or the NES game, you really are in for a treat. The touches Wayforward added to the game help make it feel like you are playing an episode of the show, and the improved control and hit detection I thought really made a big difference.

And of course, no recommendation of the game would be complete without mentioning the fantastic music. The modern day remixes of songs are excellent. The bass that kicks in at the beginning of the Moon theme is awesome, and I find myself even more attached to the updated Amazon theme than the original!

One of the biggest surprises has to be the brand new Mt. Vesuvius level theme. That absolutely feels like it was written for the original game. It's catchy as all hell!

My last pickup was a gamble that didn't pay off, I'm not even going to take pictures of it.  I bought a Wii clone system, one of those cheap looks like a wii system you plug into the TV.  This one though I noticed something odd:

A lot of these clone systems are actually based on NES-on-a-chip, and can play famicom carts (Or nes with the 72-to-60 pin adapter).  Some of them even come with multi-carts of famicom games.  I got it and I was right, that's a 60 pin famicom board in there.  Famicom carts fit in the slop perfectly.  Too bad they don't play, and it's not a famicom cart or games on it; they just used the same form factor.

The nice things about the multicarts some of these systems have, they're not existing games jammed into the cart, some of them are new.  This wasn't one of these cases.

Shit, you guys have me all worked up.  Too bad I'm stuck working late on a project that can't wait.  I really wanna try it out now

^^^ I AGREE WITH THIS GUY! It really is a wonderful remaster.  Very loyal to the original.

Don't be a doofus PLAY IT! NOW! GO GO GO

I'd be a doofus if I were to blow off this project to play games right now, trust me.

[palmer6strings]

Don't be a "Big Time" "Doofus", finish that project, go get a "Burger" and THEN play that game!!

See what I did there? Herp derp... Ya...

But seriously, it's so good I have it on PS3 and 360. Want it for Wii U also.

Some of my pickups of the last two weeks.

First a little boxed console lot with some games I got for a very good price. Paid 200 for everything.




Secondly a little boxed Game Boy + Chaos Field and some freebies Paid around 90 for everything.





Then a little lot I got cheap through an auction. Paid around 60 for it.
Not pictured are Granstream saga, Seaman, Medal of Honor Wii and two US-N64 wrestling games which also were in the lot.


Last but not least some random games I picked up. On a side note Mystery Team was 0,50 Cent new....
