Skippy B. Coyote Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 How's Mega Bomberman? I know it's good but what's like compared to the PC Engine/TG-16 and SNES/SFC versions? I've only put a few hours into it and gotten through the first three worlds so far, but I really like it! The single player mode has got a lot of variety and the Louies are adorable as all get out. Unfortunately the only other Bomberman games I've ever played were the original on the NES and Bomberman 64, so I can't comment on how Mega Bomberman compares to the PC Engine and Super Famicom games, but I can tell you that it looks great and is a ton of fun to play! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really should grab Super Bomberman 1 and 2 on Super Famicom (not the overpriced SNES versions). They are fully in English and both cost $5 or less even shipped from Japan.

Atari_Bill Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 With the price of this one on the rise I was beginning to think Id never find an affordable copy. Finally hit a decent BIN. Very excited to get it. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atari_Bill Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Congrats Bill! That manual is very hard to find too! Yeah, I was surprised to find an affordable cart, let alone with manual. These things are pricey anymore. You also have to watch out for so many fakes with these titles. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+GoldLeader Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 For less than $5 on ebay, I got a game I've needed for years now. I'll explain, I used to own this game. Stupid cover art, but Great Game! It was 2002 when a girlfriend's 3 year old kid wrecked my copy of Super Bust A Move. I don't know what he did, but I found my game CD in 2 pieces...Needless to say he wasn't allowed to touch my video games after that. When that relationship ended it was for the best, even if I was a bit depressed at the time...but I always wanted to get that game again! Not sure what took me so long 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari_Bill Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 A pick up from this weekend at the Detroit Comic con. A business from Wisconsin was selling shadowboxes of all kinds of retro games. They all have a great 3D look with different levels of perspective. I had to pick up one of my favorites! Considering buying more they looked so nice. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoshiChiri Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 (edited) Renton City Retro pickups! A bit more implusive than I usually go, but the only thing I saw from the want list was that Powerstone 2 there. Not pictured: the copy of Medievil I bought my sister that I can't get to run. I looked it over briefly at the con, and it looked dirty but fine- after cleaning it though, I spotted this odd mark, like an indent instead of a proper scratch? It's not through the data layer, so I'm hoping taking it somewhere for a professional resurfacing will get it going. Also, I didn't buy the Asteroids- that was a gift from a friend who found it while cleaning. She's never owned an Atari 2600, so it's a bit of a mystery.

I love Super Monkey Ball... the music kicks a lot of ass and it was made by the same people that made F-Zero GX (AV)... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skippy B. Coyote Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 It's been a while since I posted any gaming pickups, so here's my one big purchase from last month. A nice Sega 32X starter set! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skippy B. Coyote Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 Today I accomplished a goal that I've been working on for the last 4 months, and made the last major hardware purchase that I'll be making for the foreseeable future. The Sega CD did need some minor internal work, but nothing too major. Just cleaning the old dried up grease out of the gears that drive the laser assembly, regreasing them with a little white lithium grease, then desoldering the old ML2016 save battery that wasn't working anymore and soldering in a new one. Pretty simple stuff all around, and the Sega CD works beautifully now. Combine that with the Genesis Model 2 Rev. VA4 that I picked up back in March: And the 32X that I scored last month: Annnnnd... Sega's 16-bit marvel is complete! In all the years that I've been buying and selling retro game systems I only ever regretted selling two things: My original Game Boy (which I got back earlier this year) and my Sega Genesis Model 2 / Sega CD / 32X setup. Now that I've got them both back I'm feeling pretty darn content, with my only remaining hardware wants being a Master System Converter II adapter to also play Sega Master System games on the Genesis setup and some HD Retrovision Genesis component cables to get the best picture quality out of everything. There's no rush on those though and neither are going to break the bank, so for now I'm just happy to have my Sega Clusterf**k back together! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 I bought a Wii with 2 remotes & all hookups for $10 and a GH world tour guitar for $2 at the local Goodwill today. Dumbest thing was they had 2 other Wii's which where console only priced at $25 each. So I had the option of $10 for a full setup with 2 controllers and an $2 extra to grab the guitar (as I did) OR I could have gone with console only Wii for just over double the price? Nice consistency in your pricing you got there Goodwill. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonGrafx-16 Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 I once had Goodwill try and charge me more for a game because it contained multiple discs... but the best is when they have multiple copies of whatever and they all have different prices. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iwantgames:) Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 (edited) Bought this Amstrad ALT 386SX. Now the long wait for it to travel from Europe. Also picked up a 2nd CIB VG5000 lot just for the VG5216 Edited June 13, 2019 by Iwantgames:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoshiChiri Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 (edited) Pickups from Seattle Retro today! The Renton show didn't have anything in the way of Turbografx, so I've made up for it ? Solatorobo stung to pick up- not because it was priced unfairly or anything. I'd intended to pick it up back at release, decided to wait for a "good sale", and waited myself right into a massive price spike. *sigh* But now I have it, and it's complete, and I don't have to think about the price anymore! The Hello Kitty & Pac-Man stuff was won at a local arcade. Glad to have my Pac-Man figure set complete again... maybe? This packaging is new and says there's 8 figures, but I've only seen 7- I don't know what I'm missing!

+Spriggy Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Took a break from 2600 cart hunting for months, but back into it now. Picked up the only orginal title HES did. 'My Golf' from 1990. Cart like new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DragonGrafx-16 Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 I'm surprised how stupid the NA cover of Super Star Soldier looks... the PC Engine cover for the game is sooooooo much better! Also, how much did Darius cost? On 6/15/2019 at 10:28 PM, HoshiChiri said: Pickups from Seattle Retro today! The Renton show didn't have anything in the way of Turbografx, so I've made up for it ?
