JUNE 2014 Picks

[amarthar]

Man, haven't been here for a long time (busy with work and life and what-not).

Last week's pickups:



Batman: Arkham Asylum (~$10 new) and City (~$20 new), both GOTY versions a Trust gaming mouse (~$15 new).

And 2 Steam games, Braid and FEZ, cause they were on sale (both ~$3).

And now I need to upgrade my PC, cause Arkham City runs like sh*t.

Yoshi's New Island (3DS)
Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition (360)

Does anyone know if the Xbox 360 version of Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition had a game manual printed?

Ok, so this weekend i went to a game store near me and exchange 2 PS2 dup games i had for The lord of the ring and FF XII

and bought:
TMNT $2
Skate or Die 2 $2



Funny thing, i had TMNT when i was a little kid and i didn't realize that they all had a red mask in that label

Yeah, the game was originally based on the comics, not the TV show.  Well, 90% of it is anyway, that's why they are all red on the box art.  They were all red in the comics (actually black and white, but eventually started in color).  They made some changes near the end of development to better reflect the show, that's also why pretty much all of the main enemies in the game have nothing to do with the cartoon except a few bosses (Bebop, Rocksteady, etc)

I finally found some decent storage solutions for my NES games.  This rack is designed for both SNES and NES.  SNES fit much better, but there are slots inside that hold NES games in place if they're in sleeves.  This particular rack comes in both 12 and 18 cart styles.  I got it for $10 - they usually sell for 3-4X that.


This one I found at a thrift store for $3.  NES carts fit nicely if they're in sleeves.  The interior slots are molded plastic, so it must have been a retail item at some point.  It seems like it's really a rack for double thick CD cases, although I don't know why someone would make a 30 double CD holder - most CD cases have single slots and just a few for doubles.



I'm glad that I can now display (and have easy access to) my NES games.  I'd love to case them at some point, but there's no feasible solution right now.  UGC's are too difficult to mod for NES carts (especially in large quantities), and Bitbox cases are too expensive for me at nearly $4 each.

I used to have one similar to that (3 columns of 7 games). It was great to have direct access to all games. Unfortunately, I think I through it to the garbage at some point.

I've got that exact holder (No box, never seen the box for them actually) .  Would be willing to trade for games I don't own (Mostly looking for nes at the moment)

  Looks like 8-tracks to me, but had to tell without holding an 8-track up to a nes cart.

I got for 50p each
WWF Smackdown 2 (2nd copy)
World Cup 98' (got Fifa RtWC 98' so that is complete)

free case, Scooby Doo and the Cyber Chase (mint case with cover and manual just no game)

[KalessinDB]

Well, I got my last 2 boxes yesterday:

One box ran me a whopping $9.50 shipped:
Shining in the Darkness ($7.50, CB no manual)
Star Wars Episode 1 Racer (N64, $2 cuz why not)

The other box was a "Mystery box" picked for me by a guy who knows I'm just starting to get into arcade games, and ran me $119 shipped:
Street Fighter Zero/Alpha (CPS2, phoenixed, A+B board -- for those of you who don't know arcade collecting, the A board is the motherboard, the B board are the games, so this way I'm good to go for any other CPS2 games)
Soccer Brawl (MVS, including Neominibox for display/storage)
Namco IO (this one is for future use if I ever get a System 246/256 motherboard)

All told, probably $150-160 worth of stuff before shipping.  Dude hooked me UP, he always does.  Very exciting!

I have that one too. Black and has a nintendo logo. Was made for Nes games. Got mine before SNES existed. Still have it too, but sadly.... no box. In fact I was so young I dont recall it having a box.

Came home and it was hanging on my wall and had my games in it. Mom and Dad decided the cart pile wasnt appealing to look at. lol

A trip to another Goodwill.

Slim PS2 for $20, had a transformers dvd in it, as well as bootleg copy of a Marvel movie. Will probably end up tossing both dvd's.

Got some great PS1 titles, and exceptionally happy to get Bushido Blade 2.

[Umbra]

That's a nice pickup there. Happy to see someone else with Dino Crisis love that game.

I don't have a picture of me offhand, I just got back. That is from the ceremony, I filmed as I was leaving.
