Post every time you buy/trade something Part VII

Ah, you beat me to it. I'm sure his name must be in the manual. I'll have a look when I get home tonight.

That game looked so awful in any video I ever saw! Just plain blasphemy to program such a game as part of the same series that brought us Gekka no Yasoukyoku and Chi no Rondo on PCE :-(

What do you think of it anyway?^^

 

It's not that bad to be honest. takes a while to get in to how it plays but after you've done that the game really starts to open up. Loads of modes to play as well many items to find and the very important On=Line VS. Something Capcom didn't bother with in Capcom VS Tatsunoko.

1UP gave it a 16/100. You know how I feel about review scores, but that's pretty damning.

 

sealed akumajo dracula x for saturn.

must.... resist....

 

What did you pay for it? Perfect seal or are there any unregularities (I already spotted 2 or 3 sealed SS AD's but all of them had something wicked about the seal, like a spinned strip or something)^^.

 

30 euros, i think its re-sealed, so i will rip it open and have a play.

 

30eur for a like-new copy is still pretty good, if it was original sealed it had been an amazingly good price.

 

If 1UP really gave it 16
/ 100 score then they are serious tits. I bet that they've gave a really known shit game better scores than that.

 

They probably got a crappy presskit for it then.

 

It's only one guy's opinion. To be honest though, any game that can get reviewed like that must have something wrong with it.

 

No games today, but some DVDs. The cinema 16 ones were bought used on ebay, the others are sealed (had no time to watch them yet )



I'm very anxious to watch all of them although I have already watched 2 or 3 on TV. Don't know how do feel about Salò, will have to watch the entire film before judging it. Wicked piece of controverse movie history. The Louis Malle collections (1+2) include 9 of his most famous movies.
These are all UK dvds btw, I though I'd rather exploit Britain while the pound is still low :110:

 

@ave

tu regardes tous les films en français?

 

ketsui arcade pcb



The dent this left in my wallet is going to take a little while to heal.

oh and neo drift out legit copy (second from the top)



came with a shock box too....man those shock boxes are huge.

 

Oui, tous les films francaises vont d'être regardés en francais comme il faut pour un fan - et pour un élève qui a Francais comme cours renforcé -__-

But I wouldn't watch films on German (or English if they are of French origin) anway, just when I'm pretty tired (or drunk lol). I think most of these UK DVDs have only French audio + engl. subs anyway. Will see if I'm gonna stand watching those overlength Tarkovsky pictures in Russian, I have no idea of this language at all.

@drakon
What did you pay for it? I'm currently saving money for a Ketsui PCB. This game fascinates me like very few others.

 

900$ USD shipped. Unfortunately there's no sight of it ever being cheap. Luckily lately a lot of people were selling ketsui pcbs probably because they're worried it will lose value when the xbox 360 version comes out in japan.

 

Got myself a new PC today, YEAY!!! Well, I say new, it's actually 2nd hand but hardly used. Looks new to me inside and out.

Up till now I've been using a slow 1.4ghz Celeron with only 300 odd MB memory so this new baby is a God send to me although I guess it's pretty low spec for many of you PC gamers here :lol:

Total cost with shipping was 27600 yen which is pretty cheap compared to other auctions on Yahoo at the same time. Even a new entry level PC new would set you back 90000 yen.

Specs are:

CPU ： Pentium4 - 2.8GHz
HDD ： 250GB & 360GB
FDD ： USB High Speed x4
LAN ： 10/100M
Panasonic DVD Drive/writer
Pioneer Dual Layer DVD Drive/writer
Memory ： 1G (Although it was advertised as 2G still, not too bad)
Mother Board ： Biostar U8668-D
Video Card ： Radeon 9700 Pro （ AGP 128MB / DVI ・ TV out via S-Video ）

So was it a deal? To me personally I think it was but then again I know nothing about PCs to be honest.

Damn, that's kind of Expensive when I look at what you get in return for it. I'm only familiar with Apple computers in terms of used prices, but you can get a last year model for ~50.000Â¥ and 2 year old model for ~35.000 around here, which would probably mean that Windows computers should be even cheaper.

Still, it must be a nice improvement for you . Lots of HDD space is always nice.

 

£50-£70 on ebay here I'd guess, perhaps a little more due to the HDDs. Still, a new PC is a new PC. I'd contact the seller and demand some more memory, though.

 

Yeah, the UK is a lot cheaper than Japan for PC goods while we get the consoles a lot cheaper. Still, as you say it's a hell of a lot better than the shit I've been using for the last 5 years so I'm quite happy.:nod:
