Post every time you buy/trade something Part VIII

Just bought a Sega EU Dreamcast swim kit.

 

Ooh Elliot I had one of them. I still have the shorts somewhere, but now I'm a fat cunt they won't fit. I'm not sure what happened to the bag or towel though.

 

nice Elliott!!

where can I find one too?

 

@LeGit: Nice man: although I don't know that I'll be swimming in these any time soon, ha!

@dreamcast_zone: Thanks! Forums are probably your best bet, mate. If I run across another, I'll definitely let you know.

 

Picked up 'Brink' today. Pretty fun class based shooter. And extremely challenging. A buddy and I were trying to complete the first level of this challenge and no matter how hard we tried we kept getting destroyed. We finally beat it but it didn't unlock the next level to the challenge. I'm not sure what happened. We haven't been able to beat it again.

Also, I wish I had a good internet connection because the lag is horrendous. Supposedly a patch is incoming.

I also preordered L.A. Noire today. Anyone else overwhelmed by all of the releases this year??

 

Hmm, I'm still wondering about Dreamcast because the prices of the games to buy in to the shop are still pretty steep. Stocking them and selling for a cheap price would be more effort than it's worth at the moment unless you guys are wiling to pay good money for DC games. The thing is, a lot of DC games with buying were released in the west apart from the shooters where as many of the Saturn's hit games were Japanese only. I also have a few good contacts for buying Saturn stuff in bulk at a good price.

The next step for the store is to start selling the expensive Saturn shooters at a good rate. They won't be as cheap as the action games due to their cost in Japan but for an idea I've sold 3 Salamander Deluxe Packs at 1800 yen, about 13 Twinbee Deluxe packs at 1000 yen and countless Layer Sections at 800 to 1000 yen depending on condition. I want to be selling the likes of Batsugun, Metal Black, Thunder Force, DonPachi and others for around 5000 yen and the likes DoDonPachi, Hyper Dual, Blast Wind, RSG and so on for 6000 to 10'000 yen.

Yakumo

 

FYI Yakumo you may want to add NTSC-J Sega Rally 2 to your list. It is quite a large game so will probably need downsampling for CD-R, it is a WinCE ttle so nullDC won't emulate it probably but also the Japanese version has extra Ford cars I believe and the game is in english as an added bonus too.

 

Let us know how you get on with that. I borrowed Heavy Rain from a mate and didn't get too far with it if I'm honest, there's definitely interesting stuff in there but it didn't inspire me to keep going. Not sure how I'll fare with L.A. Noire.

 

I never played 'Heavy Rain' but everything I saw from it (except the naked lady) didn't really interest me that much. Plus hearing one of the writers say that the story makes zero sense and has a ton of plot holes put me off from trying it. I don't like plot twists just for the sake of plot twists.

L.A. Noire seems more up my ally. I'm a lot more interested in the setting/time period. Plus the faces!

 

Got a really good condition super famicom with ssf2 and sf2 as well as a converter so I can play snes games for $50 from the local book off (japanese used store similar to hard off that has locations in the U.S as well as europe).

 

the one by Mitsua Market?

 

Yup the one you recommended. I was surprised they had this in the case (only other import system they usual have sitting there are ps3 or wii). Guy said it was most random japanese system they got in. When I saw it in the display case I just couldn't pass it up.

 

I told you that place was golden now gimme your superfamicom!

 

BS MAN! lol Has the ram cart been working out for you?

 

Freaking awesome! I don't know how I got by without it.

 

I'd heard these two were pretty good, so I picked them up!

 

Yu-No, Samurai Spirits Amakusa's Revenge Doukonban, Street Fighter Zero 3 Doukonban, Suchie Pai Remix, Suchie Pai II, Street Fighter The Game of the Movie of the Game, Senken Kigyouden, Ochige Designer Tsukutte Pon, Rouka ni Ichidant-R




Black Matrix, AnEarth Fantasy Stories, Umanari Furlong Gekijou (sealed), Tenchi o Kurau II, Keriotosse, Anarchy in the Nippon, Princess Quest (sadly with a suntan spinecard ) and last but not least: Mizubaku Daibouken for PC-Engine (mint0rz)


Mizubaku Daibouken comes with a regcard and guess what - it's been filled out! If the first owner of the game was honest, it was owned by a 14yr old girl. Well, it's a really cute game so no surprise here... ^^

 

Just picked up alone in the dark on the wii for £2

Its probably the worst game i have ever ever played

 

ave, those are some minty Saturn games you got there. I wonder where you got such minty games from, wink, wink

A few items myself over the weeks.

Toriko (I thought I had this years ago but apparently not), MS Gundam Side Story 1 CD Case version, Factory sealed Sangokushi Eiketsuden Premium Pack and Delisoba Deluxe. It's missing the covers but at 60'000 yen cheaper than the last one sold on Yahoo it's worth it.

Got a new 32" HDTV so finally i can have my xbox hooked up via component and get a decent image over the crappy VGA cable i had used on the 19" screen in my bedroom.
