January 2018 hauls - New stuff of New Year

[Bear78]

Pick ups from the weekend.  Finally got the last Arc the Lad game I needed.

This Just in the mail one hour ago! Love Ebay last second best offers!

I really enjoyed this game.  It didn't seem to get much attention after its release (good or bad), but I thought it was a great entry in the series and worth the wait. 

I really love the emotion(s) that this game provokes. 

But I did spew many four letter words throughout the game as I fought with the controls.

Still, I will most definitely give it a playthrough again sometime in the future.

Funny you say that.  For me, it was probably the only Team Ico game that I didn't struggle at least a little bit on the controls.

You guys have convinced me to pick this up. I very much enjoyed Shadow of the Colossus on the PS2 but this one kind of flew under my radar.

Might as well play Ico too.

I should clarify that controlling the main character wasn’t a battle, but getting the creature to do what I want was a constant struggle :/

I have played Ico and enjoyed it, just not as much as SotC. I recently picked up a PS3 so I'll be buying the updated collection soon!

I actually prefer the games on PS2. It feels more raw.

[RealPlumpBox]

Some games from a local shop.  Nights X-Mas was $15, Daytona was $3, and Ghost Recon was $10.



Got another Silent Hill off my goal list.  Sealed $16


Also this Kickstarter backed behemoth showed up last week.

I forgot to take pics, but I picked up the controller for my Master System, Legend of Mystical Ninja, Turtles in Time, and Blackthorne on SNES last night. Really happy with that haul

[Tech13]

Got this one on an ebay low offer.

[FritzWhite]

I got a tuneup on my coinops modded original xbox. It's the halo edition and this thing is my prized gaming possession. I am so happy with the work irvgotti put in on it. Thank you again!

[Hesch]

Oh man it was a good weekend.


I got Keith Courage and Bonk's Revenge, and 2 controllers with it. Unfortunately it looks like Bonk's Revenge may be toast. Now I'm trying to decide if I'm going to pickup the NeoSD for it, or get the dbGrafx booster and an everdrive. I'm leaning towards NeoSD so I can play CD games on it as well, but it's just so damned expensive.

Welcome to the TG16 club.

[Hesch]

I never really thought much about the TG16 growing up. But since I moved in June it went from being "something that I eventually need to get for my collection..." to "why the fuck don't I have a tg16 yet??" pretty damn fast.

That NeoSD looks fucking amazing, but I read on shmups.com that there's some issues with the way they did the video sync on the RGB lines. Wondering how long that's going to take them to fix
