April's (Not So) Foolish Pickups 2019

[PlayDoh003]

Now THAT is an impressive set there man! I barely ever come across 32X stuff (and when I do it's always Star Wars Arcade for some odd reason...) so I'm impressed you were able to find those mostly local. Very nice indeed!

IIRC, Star Wars Arcade was the pack-in game at or near launch. They later included Doom, and I think that even Virtua Fighter was a pack-in for a while. That being the case, it's likely that there are a lot of cart-only copies of those games floating around, as I doubt any of them came in their original retail packaging. Sega had gotten REALLY cheap by then.

Ugh. Photo bucket is so broken lately. It won’t resize images like it’s set to do for me anymore

I like img.bb. You can have it output any size you like. I usually change the first dimension to 500.

Huh, I guess that would explain it then. Makes sense that they'd be pushing Star Wars and DOOM as those titles have name recognition. I never even realized they did pack-ins for the 32X. Was there any difference in the 32X's packaging itself or was it just the same box and was advertised in store that it included the game?

But the issue is that I actually PAY to have the pro account or whatever they call it, and I've already got a TON of images uploaded to the site.  Photobucket gets more busted with every passing year.  I can't even scale it within PB after uploading anymore (their interface is broken).  I have to do it in photoshop BEFORE uploading.

I vote with my wallet. If they suck, let them know that you are unhappy. Maybe they need to know this is unacceptable.

Way ahead of ya. Sent an email the other day telling them to cancel my pro account

Some finds from the weekend.

[Arseen]

I bought Labo Toy-Con 3 Vehicle Kit, Sonic Forces Bonus Edition and Flashback 25th Anniversary Edition for Switch, Killer Instinct for Xbox One, and Lego Harry Potter collection and Farcry New Dawn Superbloom Edition for Playstation 4 few days ago.

And today I recieved Asian Version of Gyakuten Saiban 123: Naruhodo Selection (Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy) which has all three games on 1 cart.

Relating to this: I'll try to be scanning some stuff today or tomorrow as I need some stuff edited in a way that exceeds my skills.

Gotta get the Labo, even though Oscar and I are still building things from kits 2 & 3

Always thought it was funny that a record label (Ghostly International) had exclusivity of a colour for a retro console.

I had a little out of town trip this past weekend as my wife was doing a half marathon so I got to hit up every game store in the area. Found some good stuff too!

Yeah. Somebody at analogue must be pals with someone at Ghostly or something like that.
